Arthur took Gwen in his arms.
"Merlin, see he is taken care of, Morgana, you can come with me. Join us when you are done Merlin."
"Yes Arthur."
Merlin tied up he King and found some guards.
"King Odair has poisoned Guinvere. King Arthur would have told you himself but he is caring for Gwen but asks that a cell be found for King Odair."
"Very well Merlin." Said one of the guards.
Merlin escorted them to Gwen's chambers. The King looked up. Tears were in his eyes.
"Listen to me, Merlin, I had nothing to do with this, please believe me!" he screamed.
Merlin said nothing. He was not going to fall for that. No one hurts his friends. He hurried back to check on the situation with Gwen.
"I do not know any strong healing magic, only something that could buy her time…" said Morgana to Gaius and Arthur.
Gaius was still examining Gwen's sample of poison.
Denar was also there, holding Morgana's hand. What was he doing there? His King just poisoned Gwen and Arthur was ok with him there.
"I wish I had known my King was up to this." Sighed Denar.
Merlin's anger flared. Morgana with him, the traitor, and…
"Merlin, thank goodness you are here." Said Morgana, taking her hand out of Denar's.
Not looking at Morgana, Merlin asked, "What can we do?"
"This poison was infused with magic." Said Gaius.
"But Odair cannot be a warlock, can he?" said Arthur.
"If he is, we have never seen any signs of it. Our King is very secretive." Said Denar darkly.
"I cannot say for sure but one thing I can say with certainty is if we do not act soon, Gwen will die." Said Gaius grimly.
"Then there is no time to waste!" said Arthur, standing up.
"Arthur you need to be here." Said Morgana.
"Morgana is right my Lord, Odair wants you dead and you have all these guests."
"I suppose you are right."
"I will go." Said Merlin.
"As will I!" said Brynn, just coming in.
"Me as well!" said Morgana.
"If she is going then," started Denar,
"No!" snapped Merlin.
Everyone stared at him. Merlin flushed but said nothing.
"He is right, you are Odair's man. How do I know you will not try something on my companions in your King's name. Why I even let you in here…"
"Arthur!"
"HIS KING TRIED TO KILL HER!" he shouted.
"Arthur!" said Gaius sternly.
"I am sorry. I just.. just cannot lose her." Sighed Arthur.
Brynn, who was sitting next to him, put her hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you Brynn, all you. You are great friends and I know you can save her."
"Well, then, we shall leave," said Morgana, "But I will use my magic to by her some time."
Morgana spoke the most powerful healing spell she could muster.
"That is the best I can do, now we must go with haste!" said Morgana.
Brynn, Morgana and Merlin made haste to gather supplies and leave. Percival and Elyon joined them. Denar watched them leaving.
"Curse you Arthur, but do not worry, soon a better King will rule Camelot."
