A/N: thank you for the review and follows. Like I said I skipped Sorcerers shadow because I didn't know what to do with Rose and I don't want be the fanfic writer that takes things away from the other characters. So welcome to The coming of Arthur.

Not a lot had happened in Camelot since Rose found out she was under an enchantment to feel no guilt or shame and to stay loyal to the old religion, there had been a tournament that everyone had attended but Rose had ended up watching it feeling bored. One of the opponents was using magic and offending everyone. Morgana hadn't let her out her sight that week, so Rose had ended up not being able to help with that. Rose was helping Gaius look over Leon he had arrived back in Camelot after being feared dead, Arthur stood over them wanting to make sure that his friend was okay. Merlin and Uther stood by the table waiting for them to finish. They finished off and Rose told him to rest. The druids had saved him by using the cup of life, so Uther was waiting on more information.
"Is that it?" asked Leon.
"That's it," said Gaius. They stood up and looked at Arthur who folded his arms.
"He's exhausted, sire and severely dehydrated but he'll live another day," said Gaius.
"With rest he'll make a full recovery" said Rose happily. Rose was relieved she had been so gutted when she had heard that she was dead. He had always been a good fighter and would always protect her from harm when she would sneak into battle.
"Thank you Rose, Gaius" said Arthur with a small smile. They left the room and Rose went to go find Morgana to let her know what she had found out. She waited in their chambers until Morgana came in. The battle for her mind was lost and she was doing it this way so that she can act the part but do it in a way that no one was harmed. Fighting the spell was exhausting so she stopped every so often to give herself a break.
"So, what do you know of the cup of life" said Morgana.
"It's in Cenred's kingdom, it has so much power, it can raise people from the brink of death, and it can cause people to become immortal" said Rose.
"I overheard Uther talking to Arthur about it, I must tell Morgause," said Morgana. Rose went to the window and summoned a raven while Morgana wrote to Morgause. They sent the bird off and got a reply "Morgana meet me in the dungeons of the castle". Rose nodded and left Morgana to go and meet her sister.

Rose woke up the next morning to watch Merlin and Arthur set off on their quest to get the cup of life. Morgana came to join her and smiled.
"They won't last long, Cenred will have them watched, then we will have the cup of life" said Morgana.
"Is Morgause making an immortal army?" asked Rose.
"She is" said Morgana. They both smiled to each other before going about their day. Rose went to her usual spot over Camelot and sat there for a while it was a nice summers day, but all Rose could feel was the anxiety for her brother. The fight for Camelot was upon them which meant it was almost time for her to be submerged in the lake of Avalon, she had read about it there was chance that it wouldn't work or worse it could work but kill her. She was scared but she knew it had to happen. Rose felt sad and worried about her brother. She sat there for a while watching everyone in the square and the town going about their day. After spending all day there, Rose went to find Morgana she found her in their chambers. Morgana looked happy like all her Christmases had come at once.
"Morgause has the cup! She is making her immortal army as we speak," said Morgana. Rose came over to her and hugged her.
"Not long now then," said Rose.
"They be will be with us every soon indeed" said Morgana. Rose and Morgana looked out the window into the darkness of nightfall. Rose couldn't help worrying about Merlin and Arthur hoping wherever they were they were safe and sound. To get the cup wouldn't have been easy, she wished that she could watch Morgause make the immortal army it would be interesting to watch.

They got summoned to the council chambers by Uther they went there, he gave them a smile as they bowed and went to stand behind him. Leon came in with a few of the knights. Uther looked concerned as they entered.
"Still no sign of Arthur" asked Uther.
"No, none whatso ever," said Leon.
"He should be back by now" said Uther looking worried.
"I'm sure there's a simple explanation sire" said Leon giving them a look. Rose knew that he was only trying to comfort Uther there was no way loyal Leon wouldn't concerned for Arthur.
"They should be back by now, take a patrol, as many as you need, whatever it takes find him" said Uther he said it in a voice which meant no argument, he was concerned over the whereabouts and safety of his son and that was obvious. Leon nodded and left the room with the knights.
"You show great strength my lord" said Morgana.
"What do you mean" asked Uther turning to face them both, Morgana took his hands and held them in hers. This was going to destroy him when he finds out that Morgana was plotting against him and took over. Morgana comforted Uther with soft words but she was building him up only to tear him down later.

Rose went to her chambers and let herself go to sleep for a bit. She woke up and again she was summoned to the council chambers. She got herself dressed in casual trousers and tunic. Morgana and Rose went to the council chamber again this time it was different there was a tension in the air. Rose and Morgana stood to the back of the room by the throne.
"There is an army on its way to us as we speak" said Leon to the room of people. Rose felt a tightening of her heart at his words.
"We must convene the council of war" said Uther.
"They cannot be stopped. The soldiers sire they will not fall" said Leon.
"What are you saying" said Uther.
"They will not die!" said Leon. Rose knew it was the immortal army, she expected it however to take longer than this. There was a good amount of people in his army it should have taken longer.
"Gather the knights, prepare whatever defences you can" said Uther. Rose stared at him in shock they were an immortal army! He was knowingly sending his men to his death and didn't seem to care about this fact. Morgana would make a much better queen by far.
"But Sire" said Leon.
"Just do as I say" snapped Uther. They all left the room except Gaius who stayed behind to talk to Uther "It's Cenred, it must be".
"How? The location of the cup was secret" said Rose acting her part.
"There is only explanation, we have a traitor in the heart of Camelot" said Gaius.

They got dismissed by Uther. Rose went to help the army she helped the army but there an atmosphere of loss they all knew Uther had sentenced them all die she hated it so much. She helped them for a while until she went to her chambers to see that Gwen was staring out the window. Cenred's army were lining up one by one she took Gwen's hand and held it giving it a squeeze. Rose saw how scared she looked.
"Gwen, Rose" said Morgana from behind them they turned around to face her.
"Is it true they attack at dawn" asked Gwen nervously. Morgana and Rose nodded slowly at that question.
"I'm afraid so" said Morgana with a fake look of worry on her face, again how had her traitor status not been noticed before she smiled at the wrong moments, her worry was fake, and she glared at everyone that wasn't Rose or Morgause.
"And no one has heard from Arthur or Merlin yet," said Gwen.

Rose shook her head and looked back out the window the army had doubled in number. They would take the citadel as soon as they started the fight "then we are done for every last one of us".
"Not everyone has to die" said Morgana.
"What do you mean not everyone" asked Gwen. Rose turned around to face both women hopefully this would a way to keep Gwen safe by making Morgana think she is on their side.
"Those that defy them, those who choose to fight, they will surely die" said Morgana. Rose stepped forward and stood so she was next to her guardian.
"Those who do not resist, those that welcome change they will have a future here" said Rose. Rose felt the battle for her mind return as her emotions went straight to guilt again, her mind then went to loyalty she would not let her fellow high priestess down. She stopped fighting her mind and sighed inwardly.
"Everyone has a choice Gwen" said Morgana. Gwen smiled slightly and looked between them.
"You know I have always been loyal to you, Morgana, and I always will be," said Gwen.

Morgana hugged Gwen and then so did Rose. She hugged her and wished she could communicate what was going on with her. She probably thought her a monster, maybe she was a monster.
"Then have no fear, no harm will come to you, I promise you that," said Morgana. She hugged Gwen again and with her back away from Rose. Gwen looked at her, Rose pointed to her own healing bracelet and mimed casting a spell. Her eyes widened and she nodded before pulling away. That was Gwen safe that just left Gaius. Rose left the room and went to the physian's chambers. She found Gaius preparing some potions.
"Hide! You need to hide, the army are immortal and will kill you quick" said Rose in a rush of words, the old man stared at her before heading over to his supply cupboard.
"You will be free soon," said Gaius. She hugged him before heading back to join Morgana.

Rose's prediction was correct the next morning at dawn the citadel was taken by the immortal army quickly and by midday they had taken over the whole of Camelot. Many men had died, and many had been wounded. The ones that had surrendered were left alone; Rose had watched from her chambers as everything fell around her. Morgana came in the evening looking pleased with herself.
"So, what should I wear to my coronation" said Morgana excitedly. Rose went across to the wardrobe and got out one of Morgana's purple dresses.
"This one makes you look very queen like," said Rose.
"I can't believe this is actually happening" said Morgana excitedly, Rose nodded and helped her get ready "I wouldn't have got through any of it, without you, you keep me sane you taught me magic isn't evil I owe that to you and Morgause".
"I happy to always be at your side" said Rose taking her hand. Rose was then prepared for the coronation. She felt the usual magic of Merlin entering the castle. She smiled as they walked to the throne room.

They stood in the throne room the armies lined up in rows. Morgause stood at the front. "Get the king" said Morgause. Two of the men nodded and left the room. It didn't take long to bring a struggling Uther into the room. He was forced on to his knees front of Morgause.
"Well Uther, how the mighty have fallen you won't be needing this anymore" said Morgause. She removed the crown from Uther's head slowly. He struggled against the men holding him down.
"This is unlawful, you cannot do this, you have no right to the throne" shouted Uther. Morgana stepped forward pulling Rose with her.
"No, she does not, but I do" said Morgana she moved even more forward so she was stood in front of Uther instead of Morgause, so she was ready to accept the crown. Uther's face was of anger and then it changed to shock and then sadness "I am your daughter after all, don't look so surprised I have known for some time". Morgana then sat down on the throne in the middle and Rose sat at one on her left-hand side.

Morgause nodded and Geoffrey was pushed forward holding two crowns. Rose turned to look at Morgana frowning why did he two crowns.
"By the power vested in me I crown thee Morgana Pendragon queen of Camelot," said Geoffrey. He placed the crown on her head then went behind the back of the thrones to Rose's throne "by the power vested in me I crown thee Rose Pendragon crowned princess of Camelot". She gasped and looked at him. She didn't have a last name and since when was she going to be crowned Princess. Joffrey put a crown on her head and all Rose could do was stare into the distance.

The end
