Song is "My Wish Rascal Flatts Three Girls Cover." with a different ending
It took seven days for Athena to leave her chambers. Seven days for her to finally muster up the courage, and the song for this moment.
Her father and his court would be here sometime today.
Athena looked at the Prince, lying on that bed, helpless, needing care. She felt sick. He was like this because of her. Because she didn't know how to fix him. She was an idiot.
She sat next to him, and picked up the guitar she had brought in with her. Her father had brought it for her when he came to the festival.
She took a deep breath, and started playing.
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose?
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' 'til you find the window
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything
Tears started to drip down Athena's face, and unbeknownst to her, Gwen and Morgana stood outside Arthur's chamber door, listening to the melancholy song that Athena sang.
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
Athena let the tears fall from her cheeks, and onto her hands, that never stopped strumming the guitar. Morgana and Gwen were now getting teary eyed, and looked at each other. They loved each other dearly, and they conveyed with their eyes, that this was how they felt for the other.
I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you
And the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get
Oh, you find God's grace in every mistake
And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah more than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
But more than anything, more than anything
"Always know, that I love you."
As she ended the song, she heard the trumpets blare, signaling her father's arrival. Before she left, she leaned down, pressing her lips against her Prince's forehead, and accidentally letting one of her tears slip off onto his cheek. She then ran out of the room, and went to her own, gathering all of her things, and then leaving her chambers in Camelot for the last time.
She didn't even notice Morgana and Gwen watching her as she ran down the hall, her unruly auburn hair flying free behind her.
When she reached her father, to her surprise, Alistair was ready, waiting for her. Even his eyes looked sad, and she felt a literal knot form in her heart.
Just as she was putting her foot in her stirrup, about to mount her steed, there was a collective gasp from the entirety of the crowd.
"Athena Faebar Glas, will you marry me?"
She whipped around, staring at the man who had spoken. His thick golden locks were plastered to his forehead with sweat, and he was gripping a door frame for support, but it was him. Honest to the Gods above, that was Arthur Pendragon, asking for her hand in marriage.
A/N: It's short, I know! Forgive me!
