Nimue POV
I woke up to the sound of my crying son, that little one who I for a short time did not even know existed and now is the most precious thing in my life, my little Galahad. I gave him the name that the brave Percival chose, because I did not know if I would see him again. I take him, and with my maternal instinct I place him in my breast full of milk to nourish this beautiful boy who soon starts to suck, must have pulled from his father, I don't eat much. I feel a movement in the bed I was lying on and see my father smiling at me and Pym still sleeping next to the old man. I place my free hand on my mouth to hold in the urge to laugh so as not to wake my little one who has gone back to sleep, but continues to suck vigorously.
"Daughter. Looking at you like this, it makes me miss you. I miss so much of you growing up. I wish I could have had this vision, of you this size along with your mother and I regret that I let her take me out of her life and yours," he says.
"Dad, you can't change the past, but you have a chance to have it with me and little Galahad," I tell him. I look at him, and I see my best friend all over my father. "Let's wake up the sleeping beauty, so we can tell everyone that the little one was born," he nudges at her and she wakes up looking scared.
"I'm sorry Uncle Merlin, but you're so hot, and don't tell that to Dof I love him but you've been my hero since Aunt Leonore told us stories. About the brave knight I didn't know I wanted out of life, but I always thought you needed love... "I covered her mouth with the hand that wasn't holding my son and I looked at the damage she did. My father was laughing like a hyena.
She turns and looks at me with little Galahad. Pym stands up stretching her arm to get him. "Give my nephew, I want to hold him!" she says and I give him to her, he moves a little but keeps sleeping. Soon my best friend is scrambling for him. I take advantage that my hands are free and get up, but I'm too sore to get up.
"Papa, you could take my dress, I can't move, I think the birth tired me a lot and I'm still very sore," I asked him, albeit embarrassed by my request, but Pym was busy.
He gets up, but he falls down like me. " Dad, what happened?" Even in pain I get up and with my naked glory I go to him and see that his shirt is open and he has a huge hole in his chest. "Why didn't you tell me?" I say putting my hand on his chest and calling the Hiddens to help me heal him. In less than a minute he breathes and holds me tight.
"Thank you, baby, you are so powerful! I would love to have my magic to help you with this important task. I could have killed anyone who came through you, they would be dead," he says, and I realize I'm still naked.
"Daddy, I know that no father would want to see his daughter naked, but after Galahad was born, I lost all my strength, but I need to get dressed, can you close your eyes?." I ask him and he does.
Even in pain I put on my pants and when I put on my dress I hear his voice.
"Princess, why didn't you tell me about this scar, you needn't be ashamed, I apologize for whoever did this to you, they must have smelled me on you. It was a demon from one of the dark lords. And he must have known I was your father. Even if Leonore had driven me out, I should have stayed. You wouldn't suffer for it," he says standing up and helping me.
"Dad, you didn't know I existed, the same way I didn't know you existed, but ever since I was a little girl I tie up my hair and fought my fights hard, I killed this demon with the help of the Hiddens, but after that day I was disrespected by almost everyone in the village, but there were four people who were always with me, my mother, Pym, Gawain, if you know him, be prepared that he will try to bite you but in fact he only barks, and little Percival doesn't know if he's still alive." I look up to him with tears in my eyes and he does what any father would do, wipes them away. As a child and even now it was something I always wanted my father to do. I saw other fathers in the village do it to their children as I would often witness in envy. My father, no that man who was said to be my father never did, he might've never seen me as his daughter. But that man before me is my father and I'm thankful for the chance to have been reunited with him; my father was the one who was holding me, who helped me give birth to my son, who is trying to save my life.
"Daughter, even so the guilt leaves me hopeless, what I could have had with you, you, my love, is the greatest gift a father could ask for," he says
"I fear that our people will become more and more persecuted by all the kingdoms, and with my heart I must inform you that I have accepted Uther's offer."
"No, you cannot." Pym says across the room with my son with his blue eyes that rivaled the sky staring absently around the room.
"It's the right thing, Pym, I see no other choice." I say going towards her and picking up my little Fey warrior and there he was with his dark hair, his cute nose, his blue eyes and his tears marks, I still find it strange that he has these marks. "You must think I'm silly."
"You, baby girl, you're not a fool, don't even think about it," says my father, coming to see his grandson. "You're all Leonore." I smile at his comment. "But you also have a touch of Merlin, that makes you an explosive combination, my dear"
"That explains a lot, Daddy." I play, which generates a collective laugh. "But would Mama be proud of this decision of mine?" I comment.
"Of course, because I'm really, really proud of it," he says, kissing me on the forehead, but our conversation ends very quickly, because we hear people screaming that it was on fire.
"Daddy stays with Galahad and I'll see what happened," I say, handing the little one over and going towards the door.
" Let's go!" Pym said coming with me.
We went to the main hall and saw our friends were there. When they saw us, they approached, Pym went and kissed Dof good morning while I gave everyone a hug. A faun came and said they found something in one of the barns in town.
"I made the choice to accept Uther's proposal as you should all know before you worry, I did it because it was the right thing to do and Uther gave us free passage north," I tell my adviser they looked at me like I did it.
"We won't contest your decision now, but we need to find out what's happening with this fire," says the Warrior.
"Guinevere, Arthur and Dof, you accompany me, the others wait here, I believe after that we should have a council meeting." I say calling the best warriors in our group but before I go to the barn I whisper to Pym.
"Go to my room and call my father, but leave Galahad hiding because I want to surprise them," and she settles in.
And we went in the direction of the commotion. There were the elders and one of the guards, and they were with a fan that had been burned.
"What happened?" I ask them. How can anyone do that?
"First they cut his throat and then he was burned," says the guard.
"That's Wroth and his blood pact, My Queen, the fauns demand justice." says Cora.
"Do we have any proof?" I ask, wanting an idea to help my people.
"Wroth is on the south road, threatening any Fey who accepts Pendragon's proposal, my men have already been attacked today," says the guard.
"The queen is offering her life for this offer, if we refuse it would be death for all, I will see Wroth," says Arthur.
"It is my responsibility and I will do my duty as queen," I say.
"We can't let you do that," says Dof.
"Nimue you're pregnant and we can't risk it," says Guinevere. I was going to complain, but they don't know Galahad was born after Uther's offer.
"OK, I give up. Dof and Arthur go and convince them to go to the ship," I say.
"Cora, call the others to march, let's get ready because all the feys will board the ships today." He says.
I knew I could count on him and we separated, Guinevere came with me, as we walked back to the hall.
"Nimue, I have a feeling something will happen, yesterday after I heard you accepted Uther's offer, I sent a letter to all my crew and they agreed to help us. They're waiting for our horses to arrive, the beggar's shore and they're ready to defend us but they will only attack if the King betrays his side of the bargain," the warrior explained without missing a bear. I pull her into the alley.
"Guinevere, you really are a true warrior and I am proud to call you sister, I don't know what I would do if something happened to my people, and you thought of a safer way for them, my warrior sister. The only person I trust to lead the Feys on this new world journey is you, you are a born leader and if I never see my people again I want you to lead them," I tell her. The thought of dying scared me, but stuck in the crossfire the possibility was there which required me to have to think about who could lead without me in the picture. I hope it doesn't come to that.
"Kitty, if you want me to lead your people, I'll lead them, you've grown in my heart, and I'm also proud to call you sister, my blood sister is a whore without glory, she licks the ground Cumber steps on, and after I was exiled by him, she spit in my face. But you kitten's got me believing you were the best queen I ever had. My sister," she says, "I know she doesn't like hugs, but I'll still go and give her a bear hug. "Okay, okay, demonstration of affection is enough." And we went to the salon. Guinevere walked in first and I stood at the door afraid to go and say goodbye to my family of choice until I heard a whisper in my ear.
"Daughter, we won't be able to change your idea," says my father behind me. I turn around and see him, my son, holding out his arms and he passes Galahad who moves, but doesn't wake up knowing that he was safe in my lap.
"You know I don't, but I feel that this situation is getting more out of control by the second," I tell him. But our conversation is interrupted by Pym.
"Nimue!" my best friend draws everyone's attention to me.
"My dears, I want you to meet the heir to the throne, Fey, Galahad." I introduced my precious baby to the women who were waiting for me.
"Nimue, you were with me three minutes ago and you didn't tell me. Let me see this future warrior," says Red Spear.
"My congratulations, why didn't you tell us he was born?" asks Morgana coming towards me with the others following.
"He was born in the middle of the night, Pym and my father helped me, I didn't want you to worry about the birth of Galahad after receiving the news that I would surrender," I tell them.
"You really think we'd stop worrying about you, you're our friend. Our sister," she says, caressing my son's cheeks. "He's beautiful."
"Thank you!" and they each came to meet the little one.
"Nimue, those marks on the child's eyes, what do they mean?" asks Celia, examining my son.
"These marks are from the people of ashes, it's been years since I've seen one of them." says my father to her.
"There's something else, he reminds me of someone I've seen before and had these same marks." After momentarily examining my son's facial marking, panics sets in, in her expression.. "Oh my God, those markings...identical to those of the Weeping Monk, Nimue," she gasps.
"It can't be, he's a murderer, he's killed people from our tribe, no, that can't be happening, no, how is that possible? He shouldn't even be quoted as someone's soul mate, he's evil and he used poor Squirrel as bait for the survivors of his attack on my village, tells me it's not true that My pure son is not descended from that son of a bitch, who's doing atrocities while we're here, who kidnapped my foster brother, not him, please, hide it from me and tell me he's not my soul mate," I tell everyone.
"Maybe that's why the Hidden took away the memories of the event. He must have found you in the attack and you were attracted to him, but somehow he was also attracted to you and you created a life, but why him?" asks Morgana.
"Nimue, you're lucky, you should be dead they say he's so cruel, he kills without mercy," says Celia.
"I want to know why the Hiddens are playing this trick on me?" I say and Pym comes towards me and hugs me. But a memory comes to my mind, my son looks like Layla. "The Weeping Monk must be a traitor. Pym remembers when Layla said she had a younger brother, who had died in the attack. I don't think he died, but he disowned his own people. Even though he's my soulmate I'm going to kill him," I say in anger.
"Daughter, what if that's not what happened deep down? And if something worse had happened to make it happen, you forgave me for my past," says the wizard.
"You, Daddy, didn't kill thousands of Feys who wanted to live in peace, while he burned our food sources, our homes, even the children, who in their right mind would kill children," I tell him. "But I won't think about it, I have to concentrate on the liberation of my people," I told them.
"My presence here puts you in more danger to finalize your deal with Uther," says my father embracing me.
"That will be a risk to take, it is the only option for the salvation of our people, Papa." I tell him, accepting his embrace.
"If we quench his thirst for vengeance, he could be more merciful to you," he says.
"How?" I ask.
"Let me go, my love," he says.
"What?"
"I can tell he hates me more than his accomplishments in the last few weeks, he's asked for my head several times," he says.
"You're crazy, I won't do this to you, it's forbidden." I tell him
"You, my dear, may be Queen Fey, but I'm your father and you don't boss me around," he says while giving me a smile, however it was a forced smile. He wasn't fooling me.
"I told you I don't need protection." I tell him, pouting at his decision.
"I have a little problem with not obeying the laws and I realize I passed that on to someone who's more stubborn than a buffalo," he says looking at me. I give him a little smile, "Besides, I'm the only one here who could talk to Uther and find out his intentions, I can tell you if he's going to betray you," he continues with a kiss on my forehead.
"You're my father, I won't lose my only family, I don't want to see you hurt by me, I don't want anyone else hurt by me," I cried out already in tears.
"Baby, you don't have to think about me, you have to think about the little one,"he points to Galahad "But darling that's the point, you've made us brave." And he left the hall, to go even if I said no. Stubborn old man.
"Your father speaks wisely, you've made us brave and we all want you to fight, I'll help you but I don't feel we can," says Morgana.
"I can't let that happen, the ships will be on the beggar's shore, and I want all of you to be at the head of one of the ships, you will have 3 ships and I want Guinevere, whoever leads them, to be a born leader. Morgana you have our best strategies, you will create the next step, let Kaze and the boys know that I want them to be in the security of the other ships, Pym and Celia you will be part of the healing area, call Cora and the rest of the healers and divide among the ships I want you all to have health to reach the new life of our people".
"I can't accept, Nimue, I'm not part of the Feys, they won't listen to me. I know what you're doing, but we have to find another way." Morgana speaks to me. An idea crossed my mind.
"Do you still want to fight?" I ask her.
"Yes, Nimue." she answers.
"For the feys?" continuous.
"Of course, you accepted me for who I am," she says, my idea will work.
"I want everyone to be ready to go to the ships, Morgana, before they go I have a task for you. In twenty minutes at the gate," I say.
"Well, I'll meet you there at the gate, even if we don't think it's the right one, I'll let the boys know," says Pym kissing my cheek and the cheeks of my little Galahad.
"I'll pack our things, Pussycat, see you in a little while," Guinevere bids me farewell as both leave.
"Celia, you go with the feys to the beggar's shore, you're one of our best healers, you can go and pack your things'' and she leaves. "Morgana come with me" and I went to where I hid my sword, tied Galahad to my chest with one of the fabrics I had in the room, took the sword and took Morgana where the hole I had asked to be made. Whereas I had no option but to stay and fight.
"Nimue." she asked on the way. "What's happening?"
There was one of the fauns I asked to guard that hole, he takes the things that are on top and voilà the hole was ready. She's surprised and asks me.
"Will you run away?"
"I won't, but you will," I say, handing over the sword with a smile. "I need to know if the king will keep our agreement, only come back if I tell you everything is alright, then you can bring me the sword. I know I'm giving my life for the salvation of the Fey, I don't know the king. You may go, My friend, Born at dawn."
"To pass in the twilight...Nimue, I will honor you, my friend." And I went to meet the others. I can't believe Galahad's not hungry yet. I just fed him before the commotion with the burnt Faun.
"Nimue. I can say congratulations, Galahad, this boy will be strong, like the Sigurd warrior. He's beautiful," says Dof coming towards me with Arthur following him.
"Thank you so much, my brother," I speak with a sincere smile.
"Congratulations on Galahad, he's really beautiful," says Arthur. "We have news, they weren't very happy but the Tusks are going with us."
"Wonderful news, you got Wroth to go with the rest of the Feys, it was better I got the ships."
"Nimue!" shouts my best friend, ready to leave with our people.
"Pym without yelling." I say looking at the baby that her screaming woke him up and started crying. "I have to give him milk, come and join me, since you woke him up, and I need help to get my clothes off." I end up going to one of the empty taverns and soon my son is sucking my breast.
"Pym I know you are afraid of the future, but we will never be far in our hearts, I am so afraid that my body trembles with fear" I tell her.
"Nim... let me stay, not knowing what will happen to you. It corrodes my soul. I love my partner, but you are my sister and I love you more," she says, embracing me.
"Pym, I love you more than anything in my heart too but I need to know that you're safe, I don't know if Gawain or Layla or our Percival are alive, but if you go with the ships I'm sure I'll know that you're safe, if you do, I'll look if i could, I promise, but come on you've got a long way to go,My sister" and we went where the others were waiting.
"My people, not my friends, I wish you all a good new beginning, that you can live a life without persecution, and that you feel free to do what you want, that your lives are as bright as they should be without those wretched paladins, Good riddance, Born at dawn" and my people cry out."To pass in the twilight My Queen!" and they go to their new life.
While waiting for my friends' message, I went back to my room in the castle together with my dear son. Now that we were both alone, the little one was much more active, I put him on the floor and was surprised at how close to the Hiddens the little one was, there he was camouflaging himself so well that he looked part of the floor. And my thoughts turned to the father of my son. How could I not realize in the convent that he was my soulmate, if I had followed the bond? Would he be here with us, fighting for the Fey, or would he have killed me, but I remember the bond is double, not only was I affected, he was also pulled.
"My dear son, you must be thinking that Mama's crazy to accept a deal to become a prisoner of a king who'd never helped the Feys until he found out that the sword of power exists, and why doesn't Mama go find Daddy and kick his ass for leaving us and betraying our people? I wanted to do that, but I have to think about the salvation of our friends who compared to the paladins, and Uther's army would not have a chance to win, but I wanted you to know your family completely, your Uncle Gawain, your father's sister who probably already knows that he is alive and is your father, and must have given him some nice slaps for being a traitor, and your adopted brother who picked your name"... The door opens and it takes me out of my conversation with my little baby and I go to the door and see if there's anybody.
"Is there someone there?" I ask. No answer. My eyes continued to scan around, towards the corridor.I feel the presence of someone, but around me, there is no one, I turn and I am caught by surprise by Lord Ector's guard.
"Sir Stuben.," a sigh of relief passes my lips upon seeing a familiar face.
"Two crows have arrived." and he delivers the messages to me. The first was a message from my father.
"My dear child, I asked the king what his intentions were. My love he sent the ships as arranged and I ended up telling him you were mine. He is interested in finding you. Kisses, Father."
And the second was Pym's.
"My beautiful mother of the year, Uther has fulfilled her part of the contract, three ships came as agreed, I love you very much. Pym."
"Sir, the king has fulfilled his request, I must go, prepare a horse, I beg you, but first I must send some messages, go back to the room, pack my things
"Papa, Galahad and I are on our way to Uther's camp, I love you. Nimue."
"Pym, I love you too, enjoy this new beginning."
I finish writing and ask you to send the messages, I tie Galahad to my lap, and I go to the gate, I get on the horse, I am ready for my destination, and I go towards the King's camp, when I arrive I am received by the soldiers with shouts.
"Queen of feys"
"What they say about her is a lie."
"She's an angel!"
"How beautiful!"
"Those eyes!" I can say that what the soldiers say makes me very happy, but in comparison to the screams of the paladins present.
"Get rid of the witch!"
"Burn her!"
"She's evil!" In one of the tents I see my father with his calm but sad smile.
"My queen." He says bowing to me.
"Father "I saluted him and he took me to the tent that the king was in, but he was not alone. It was Paladin who said I would burn their leader, Father Carden, with another religious man, the king was a man around 30, his hair black, a beautiful man.
"Your Majesty." I say in reverence.
"My Lady, I can say you don't live up to the beauty they call you, you're much prettier," he tells me.
"I see you don't have the sword," says the priest. "She hasn't kept her word."
"The sword is safe, I came first, to know and see if the king has fulfilled his treaty, how to find out the king has fulfilled." I tell him.
"My king, this young woman mocks your kindness? Give her to us and we will torture her to know the location of the sword," says the priest. "It would indeed be a privilege."
"Your Majesty, we'll have the witch and sword with you," says the other man.
"Do you think we are merciful, my dear?" says Uther.
"My king, the sword is on its way," I say.
"What my daughter meant was that she wanted to meet you, her majesty," says Merlin.
"I can tell your daughter, Merlin, must already know what awaits her if she gives it to the church," warns the king coming towards me.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I know him very well, he killed my mother, he burned my village, he burned everybody present." I tell them
"And before it's over, let's humiliate her before God Almighty Girl," spat Father Carden.
"That's what your paladins at Grammaire thought, and the Abbey and the Red Lake," I say, mocking the priest.
"You encouraged this witch, Your Majesty," says the priest.
"My dear, where is the sword?" asks the king.
"My king, as I said before your sword is on its way, it will be here when you release the Green Knight," I say.
"That murderer and his nephew, they're our Majesty, they're not in negotiation," says the priest. They have my son.
"So you have Squirrel?" No, not my son.
"Yes, we do, and if you don't tell him where the sword is, the little boy will." He threatens.
"If you touch the boy, I will kill you!" I promise him.
"Divine forces protect me, you devil." He spits on me.
"If the two of them aren't Free, I swear to the Hidden, no one else will see the sword." I say in anger.
"Your Majesty, give us the Witch."
"You can kill me, torture me, do anything and I'm ready to die, but are you Carden?" I ask the priest, one of the king's advisers whispers in his ear.
Meanwhile my father approaches me.
"My love, say nothing of little Galahad, the king has not realized you have a child. But he seems interested in you." My father whispers in my ear " When he sends the priest out, I will accompany him to the field of the paladins and say that the Weeping Monk has betrayed him and this will put his anger into his own." .
"Father, let me speak to Carden, it will leave him possessed of rage if the betrayal of his lap dog comes from the witch with whom he betrayed." I say by planning
"My dear, no one will die today, I have a better offer, if the sword reaches the sunset and you accept to be my wife, you will have both free" He offers, no doubt about it.
"I accept, my king." I say by approaching him and bowing to him." I can tell you're a very clever man," I say flirting with him.
"Thank you, your beauty is to leave a man on your knees, my dear." he says kissing my hand. "You can go back to your camp and let the two feys go, your business is no longer important," he says to the priests. And they went towards the exit.
"My King, let me escort them out of the tent." I say, and he settles.
"Yes, my future queen, you can," he says.
Before the priest left I went and showed him, my son and he was shocked by what he saw.
"What..."
"I think your dear monk is not so godly, because he delighted in a devil, and he had a consequence of it" and I went back to the tent, and I saw that my father followed the priests out.
"My King would like to go to a tent, to write an answer for my counsellor, to come as soon as possible with Your sword." I ask him.
"My queen, I may ask to escort you to one of the tents," he says coming towards me and to my surprise he kisses me on the lips, that is the first kiss any man gives me. And in a few seconds he releases my mouth.
"My lord, I am sorry, I have no knowledge of these matters." I say blushing, it is true, I do not remember how I conceived Galahad.
"How good my dear, I can teach you what this king likes." he says with a malicious smile. "Well done! Guards. Take her to one of the tents, and pick up the Feys at the Paladins' camp," he says, and they took me to one of the tents. When I was alone I untied my son from my lap and realized that the boy smelled, I looked for a towel to clean him and asked the occult ones to warm the water that was in one of the jars in the tent. I cleaned him and the clothes he was in and fed him. He slept very heavily in all this commotion, it was getting dark and I heard two soldiers coming towards my tent and soon I tied Galahad back on my lap.
"We brought the knight you asked for. I believe he will be of no further use to you," says the guard bringing my brother and placing him on the floor of the tent.
"And the boy?" I ask as I go towards my brother.
"There was no boy there, ma'am," they say coming out.
I kneel down and see he's not breathing, my brother can't be dead.
"Gawain? No, my brother, not you, they won't take you away from me, your nephew is here, my darling, no, I haven't lost you, brother wake up, please." I let go of all my strength in Gawain to save him and begged the Hiddens to save him. And I fainted beside him. I woke up with someone pulling my arms.
"The Witch, she's here." and they take me out of the tent. Going towards the Devil himself. Carden.
"Sir, we found the witch."
"Let go of me, you asshole." And several paladins surround us.
"Hold her." says paladin.
"Have you come to see the betrayal of your precious Weeping Monk, Carden?" I ask him.
"Let us no longer delay divine justice, with or without the sword, girl, you and your little devil will go back to hell," he says with a movement of his sword. "What's that?" and a person in black stands in front of me and hands me the sword of power that's shining, I feel all her power. "What are you?"
"I'm the Widow!" and crosses Carden. With all the anger I was, I went and cut off his hands and his head from his body, the devil is dead. Then the paladins and the soldiers of the king began to fight, and I took advantage that no one else was looking at me, I ran away and went into hiding, I saw a black figure and I realized that it is the widow, she comes towards me and takes off the veil. I breathe a sigh of relief.
"Morgana!" I call her. "What happened to you?"
"I don't know, I ended up killing the previous widow and her power came to me, and I can tell who's going to die." She looks at me with a frightened face. "It's your father, Merlin, he's in one of the tents "and she takes us there, and my father was in a pool of his own blood, almost unconscious.
"Daddy!" I'm going to him.
"Go, save your son, my love" he says to me
"No Daddy, you'll come with us, Morgana helps to lift him." and we lift him.
"Why can't I die in peace?" he asks me.
"Because dear Papa, I'm stubborn and you won't die, you're the last I have left."
And we follow the road.
"If we reach the Rabbit's junction, we can lose them." I say as I carry my father, and Galahad still in my breast. Even with all these challenges, my little warrior was asleep. When we reached the rabbit bridge, my father screamed.
"Leave me child." and loses his strength and falls to the ground. "I can't move, leave me here Darling."
"Stay here!" I say. "Morgana take care of him, I'll look for help" and at the other end there's a girl I recognize.
"Iris!" and the girl prepares to shoot. "Iris, don't do it!" and she shoots two arrows at me, one at my shoulder and one at my belly, I've lost my balance and Galahad and I fall towards the corner of the bridge. But before the fall, my father holds my hand and tries to pull me up.
"Nimue!" he says.
"Daddy!" and my hand slips and I fall towards the waters.
Merlin Pov
After hearing that my beautiful girl would give herself up for the survival of our people, it was in my head that I should help her anyway. "My presence here puts you in more danger to finalize your deal with Uther," I say , embracing her.
"That will be a risk to take, it is the only option for the salvation of our people, Papa." Having no words at that moment I motion for her to hug, hoping it would comfort her.
"If we quench his thirst for vengeance, he could be more merciful to you," I say.
"How?" She ask.
"Let me go, my love!" I say.
"What?" she asks, holding my grandson. Seeing my daughter holding a baby makes me like jelly, she's so beautiful, my whole being wants to protect her from everything.
"I can tell he hates me more than his accomplishments in the last few weeks, he's asked for my head several times." I tell her.
"You're crazy, I won't do this to you, it's forbidden." Raising her voice, delivering the line more like an order. Why won't my daughter understand?
"You, my dear, may be Queen Fey. But I'm your father and you're not the boss of me," I tell her in a tone of shame.
"I said I don't need protection," she says pouting.
"I have a little problem with not obeying the laws and I realize I passed that on to someone who's more stubborn than a buffalo," I tell her by looking into her beautiful eyes that they were just like her mother. A little smile appears on her face. "Besides, I'm the only one here who could talk to Uther and find out his intentions, I'll be able to tell you if he's going to betray you." I gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"You are my father, I won't lose my only family, I don't want to see you get hurt because of me, I don't want anyone else hurt by me," says my dear with tears.
"Baby, you don't have to think of me, you have to think of the little one, but darling that's the point, you've made us brave." and I leave the room. I take my horse and go towards Uther's camp. I still remember the conversation I had with the widow
"It even scares me when it comes like that," I tell her.
"A name has been given to me." she tells me.
"From whom?" and she takes off her veil, not my daughter, tears appear in my eyes.
"You told me you didn't see Nimue in your visions." I tell her.
"This is not a vision, Merlin, her name has been given to me and being the widow, I am collecting the souls, and you my friend know that I cannot refuse any invocation, just as her fate has been plotted" I cannot lose my daughter, Hidden, please, not her.
"How long?" I ask.
"Days, hours."
"Not her. Please not her."
"I tell you that as a friend, nothing can stop it"
"You're wrong, I'll save her somehow"
While I was lost in my thoughts, I heard two of Uther's guards approach me and escort me to the king.
"My king he appeared at the border of the camp," says the guard and I look to the king.
"Hello, Uther." I say to him.
"Have you given up all the formalities?" he asks.
"Are you lying to her? For the girl Fey, tell me your intentions."
"Why do you want to know?" he asks.
"You, my dear king, are not doing business with a simple girl. She's the most powerful of her kind, but she's really become very important to me," I say.
"How powerful is the girl?" he's interested.
"She's got half my magic and half her mother. When in anger, her connection with the Hiddens can do anything, my king she alone managed to awaken an entire orchard." I am telling of one of my daughter's accomplishments.
"Is the girl yours?" asks her messenger.
"I found out when I went to meet her to pick up her sword majesty and your mother got in the way." I say to him.
"My friend, I sent the ships, I will fulfill my contract, but you must be tired, my friend, take in a tent as my guest" and they took me to one of the tents.
There I wrote a note to Nimue.
"My dear child, I asked the king what his intentions were. My love he sent the ships as arranged and I ended up telling him that you were mine. He's interested in meeting you. Kisses, Father."
I asked one of the guards to come and send a crow to the queen fey. I got your answer and I'm waiting.
"Queen of the feys."
"What they say about her is a lie!"
"She's an angel!"
"How beautiful!"
"Those eyes!" and my daughter had come, I came out of my tent and there she was with her son in her lap on a white horse. Looking like a warrior. I greeted her and took her to the king's tent. The king was not alone, there was Father Carden and the Abbot of the Pope. They were trying to convince others to burn my daughter, but at the end of the conversation the king decided that he would marry my daughter, I don't believe she accepted his proposal, the two priests left the tent and the signs.
"I do not believe the king has chosen the feys upon us, and wanting to marry her, she must have bewitched him," says the Abbot.
"I do not believe this witch has bewitched one of us," says Carden.
"What are you saying, Carden?" asks the Abbot.
"She had a son on her lap and this boy had the marks of our Weeping Monk, she must have bewitched him to make him succumb to the devil," says the priest. I feel two arms holding me and I see they were two paladins.
"Lord, that man was following you," and the priest looked at me.
"You can kill him and take him to one of the tents, we'll leave a present for the bitch," he says, and he goes towards his horse. And i was going to my end. I feel the widow's presence. And finally I'll find my Leonore.
"Yes, yes!" she takes off her veil. "No!" and my daughter enters the tent.
"Daddy." she comes towards me.
"Go, save your son, my love." I tell her.
"No, Daddy, you'll come with us. Morgana will help you up." And they both lift me up.
"Why can't I die in peace?" I ask.
"Because dear papa, I'm stubborn and you won't die, you're the last one I have left." she tells me.
And we follow the road.
"If we reach the Rabbit's crossroads, we can lose them," says my daughter. When we get to the rabbit bridge, I scream.
"Leave me daughter." And I lose my strength and fall to the ground. "I can't move, leave me here, darling."
"Stay here." she says "Morgana take care of him, I'll look for help."
and on the other end there's a little girl who looks like my daughter knows.
"Iris." "Iris." And the girl is preparing to shoot. "Iris, don't do that." And she shoots two arrows. My Nimue and Galahad fall towards the corner of the bridge. But before she falls, I hold her hand and try to pull them up.
"Nimue." he says.
"Daddy." And my hand slides and she falls into the water.
"Nooooooooooooo." I scream in despair. An anger grew in me and I wanted to destroy this bitch who threw my daughter to a certain death, I saw the sword of power fall in front of me, even though I promised I would never catch it, my anger was huge and I gave in and caught it. I feel that the sword opened a channel of energy, like a huge ray in my veins, my magic returned more and more. When I feel full and ready to attack, I raise the sword and use all my love for my daughter and grandson and ask the occult to help me kill this bitch, the effect was immediate, I felt the rain on my skin together with the wind, but I only saw anger, behind the whore they had several paladins who followed us, and with my magic back I killed them, with the sword and with my pure power, when I finished with them I turned my attention to the murderer, but she was not there. I took my daughter's friend and took us out of the vision of a loved one's death. I will find a way to avenge you, Nimue.
