King Odair staring at Arthur. A dagger. Odair standing over the bloody body of Arthur. Merlin.
Morgana woke screaming. Panting, she looked around. Hurried footsteps proceeded. Brynn walked in followed by Gwen. Brynn's room was next door and Gwen now lived in the palace.
"We heard screaming, what happened?" asked Brynn.
She and Gwen shared the same worried look.
"Arthur is in danger! It is King Odair!"
Brynn and Gwen exchanged stunned looks.
"Are you sure?" said Gwen.
"My dreams have never been wrong." She said, a hint of pleading in her eyes.
"There are ways of seeing if she is right. I am a member of the court. So that means, I can keep an eye on him. You can too Morgana." Brynn pointed out.
"And I will be helping with the serving at every major event, as will Merlin." Said Gwen.
"Do not worry Morgana, we will keep a close watch on him and his men. Should he strike, we shall take action!" said Brynn valiantly.
"Thank you." Morgana said to the two.
"Will you be ok? Do I need to get you anything?" inquired Gwen.
"No Gwen. I will be ok." Morgana replied.
Brynn and Gwen exited without another word. Morgana laid her head back down on her pillows. She hoped they were right, that they could stop this. Arthur was a good king, and a great friend. Losing him would be a big blow to Camelot. The kingdom needed someone just and fair, not a ruthless, power hungry tyrant. King Odair was a fair ruler in his kingdom, but his hunger for Camelot was sketchy. From what the court had heard and experienced, this was not like him.
Morgana wondered if there was something deeper in this matter. Either a side the King wanted no one to know or the king was being the puppet. But if so, who is the puppet master. These thoughts consumed her as she closed her eyes.
Sunlight shone through the window, as to suggest a façade. There was a dark plan hatching on a glorious, sunny day. Morgana paced around her room, anxiety overwhelming her. She could not accuse the King of anything without evidence and without knowing his plan. Morgana heard a knock. She opened the door to see Merlin.
"Gwen has just told me everything. Are you ok?"
"My visions are limited. All I saw was a dagger and King Odair standing over his body."
"Did you see King Odair stabbing Arthur?"
"No." said Morgana.
Merlin did not look concerned, which made Morgana angry.
"I know it is him, I have a feeling it is him!" Morgana snapped.
"Morgana,"
"Just forget it. Go." She said.
Merlin shut the door behind her.
Morgana rubbed her temple. She should not lose her temper. After all, he didn't see what she saw. But she wanted their trust. His trust. Maybe Merlin's unspoken thoughts were right, maybe Odair had nothing to do with Arthur's foreseen death. Like she pondered the night before, there could very well be a hand driving the King. For now, all she could do is keep a close eye on King Odair.
