Avalon
"Now what am I too do?" Marguerite asked her pendent again. She knew she couldn't marry Lancelot. She didnt love him. But didn't she have an obligation to herself to fullfill this part of her destiny.
"Morrigan, it is time." Viviane came up behind her to rearrange her dress. "Now, remember, you MUST go through with this. This is what we have prepared you for. Let NO ONE come between you and your destiny."
Morrigan looked at Viviane and smiled slowly, " I promise."
"Now we must hurry" As Viviane led Marguerite out of her chamber and to the great hall, Marguerite caught site of Roxton. She gave him a small sad smile. He did not return it. He was standing beside a tall man who, like Roxton, wore chainmail and a sword, only his were of better quality. He wasnt much taller than Roxton, but he was a lot broader. Marguerite would have to have been blind not to notice how handsome he was. She hesitated at the end of the isle.
"Go, Morrigan, do not tarry." Said Viviane. "yeah yeah" marguerite said in an undertone. She was even more nervous as multiple pairs of eyes turned to her.
She finally made her way to the end of the isle and Lancelot bowed to her.
"My dear, you are absolutely breathtaking" Roxton's jaw tensed when Lancelot kissed her hand. "I promise to be a husband that both you and Avalon will be proud of." He straightened and turned toward the preist. As the ceremony went on Marguerite got even more nervous. She knew what she wanted to do but could she do it was another thing all together. She gave on last look at Roxton and knew in an instant what she had to do.
"Wait! Please stop. I cannot do this. Lancelot, I am very sorry but i cannot marry you. It wouldnt be fair to you. I do not love you. In fact i don't really even know you. The truth is I love your brother."
There was a collective gasp. Roxton even looked shocked. The fact that Marguerite said that she loved him aloud was very nerve wracking.
"Morrigan, what do you think you are doing? You have ruined everything. How do you expect to take over Avalon's reign without Lancelot as your husband? You knew that this was all part of ridding the throne of Aurthur." Vivane raged. Marguerite glanced at Lancelot.
"you knew of this plan to overthrow my Brother? He is your friend and you would betray him like this? "
"Ah, Morrigan, you forget. He is YOUR brother and you had no qualms about usurping him."
At this, Aurthur came down from his throne.
" Lancelot, why do this? I have shown you love, made you head of my camp. What have I done do deserve such traitorous actions?"
"You took from me the only thing that ever meant anything to me. Guinevere. I love her as you possibly can't. I thought if i married Morrigan it would make her see reason, but she would not me unture to you. i thought to get you off the throne and Morrigan out of the way so Guinevere and would rule. But your sister it seems has a fickle heart just as my love has. Now, Authur, you will finally be where you belong. In the GROUND!" with this he plunged his sword into Authurs stomach.
"NOOOOO!" Both Guinevere and Margeurite ran over the the trembling figure of Authur. Marguerite slowly turned herself to Lancelot.
" Murderer!" She lunged at him but he caught her with a right hook and she fell to the ground.
He lauged menancingly, towering over her. "With or without you i can still have the throne. All i have to to is get rid of you." he raised his sword high and charged her.
"Like hell you will!" Raged Roxton and charged forth. As the two men exchanged heated blows, Viviane came towards Marguerite.
"I loved you like my own daughter and this is how you return my Love? By going agains my wishes? You shall pay for this. Sieze her! " Viviane instructed her soldiers. Before Marguerite could react she was seized by Vivane's henchmen.
"Let me GO!" her struggles led to no release. "Roxton! Help me!"
Roxton had just rammed his sword into Lancelot's chance and turned just in time to see his beloved being carried off out of the castle. He started to give chase, but Vivane stepped in front of him. She turned her cold eyes upon his face.
" I know who you are and what you wish to do. " She slowly walked around him. "You must realise that i cannot let you go after her. She ruined my plans and you added to it when you killed Lancelot. He was my only hope for a greater Camelot and Avalon. Now, what to do with you? " She raised her hands toward him but before she could cast her spell a sword split through her stomach. She looked down stunned.
"How about you let him go after her and bring her home?" Roxton was suprised when he heard who spoke. Authur, with the help of Guinevere was stooped over, his sword still impaled ont he witch. Vivane slowly sank to the floor. Her eyes staring vacantly.
Roxton stepped up to the king.
"Sir John, you must go and find her. They will not show her mercy. The longer you wait the more time she is in parel. I know my sister has done things that i am not proud of nor accept, but she is my sister and I love her dearly. Bring her home"
"I shall not come back without her. you have my word. I would die before i let anythign happen to her." He breifly bowed. And took his leave.
Authur looked at Guinivere "Have faith, my dear. He will bring her back."
