"What will we tell Arthur? We cannot reveal you are a warlock." Said Morgana to Merlin.

"He is a what?" said Elyon.

"It is ok Elyon, Merlin has never harmed us has he?" inquired Percival.

"And I came to Camelot wanting revenge, but…" started Brynn.

"Your heart is pure."

"You think you know people," sighed Elyon, "But you helped save my sister."

"Back to my previous question," said Morgana.

"Allow me." Said Odair.

"But Arthur still suspects you." Reasoned Merlin.

"And you are a terrible liar!" teased Percival.

Merlin shrugged bashfully. It was true.

"We can back the King up, we witnessed everything." Stated Merlin.

They did not speak the rest of the journey, because obviously time was of the essence and they had wasted enough of it. Time seemed to drag on as they raced to Camelot. After hours of traveling, they arrived. They would report to Gaius and Arthur, and hopefully rest, for they were all weary.

When they met up with guards, Morgana said in a regal voice, "Guards, Denar is the real criminal and has been detained. While his punishment is in Arthur's hands, he has magic. Take great care with him."

They nodded and retrieved Denar.

"What should we do in case he uses magic?" asked one of the guards.

Morgana took out a locket. "I have had this just in case. It traps the magic of any witch or warlock, making them unable to cast any spell."

The guard took it, giving Morgana a weary look. They didn't completely trust her.

"Just give it a chance! This young lady has done good today."

They reached the castle. Brynn rushed the ingredients to Gaius.

"Thank goodness!" sighed Arthur in relief.

Gaius hastily whipped up the remedy.

"How is she doing?" asked Elyon.

"She has not much time. It 'tis a miracle she has survived so long." Said Gaius.

"I will use that enchantment again to bide her more time." Said Morgana.

Morgana repeated the spell she used earlier.

"Do not worry Gwen, we are here. I am here. Hold on." Arthur said to his beloved tenderly.

"Help me open her mouth." Requested Gaius.

Arthur nodded and gently opened her mouth. Gaius proceeded to pour the antidote into her mouth.

"How long will it take?" asked Arthur anxiously.

"Patience, she needs at least a half an hour to an hour." Answered Gaius.

"We should leave them be, " Whispered Odair to Merlin and Morgana, "We have done what we can for the poor girl."

They nodded and all them left without Arthur noticing.

"She will make it, she is strong." Said Morgana.

But the others said nothing. Morgana was still worried. Merlin grabbed her hand. They were silent because no words were necessary.

An hour later Arthur found them all, baring the news Gwen was awake and recovering.

"Now, why is Denar detained and what all happened." Demanded Arthur.

"I will explain." Said Odair

"And why should I trust you?" said Arthur.

"Because we saw what happened." Vouched Morgana and Merlin.

"Very well. Proceed."

The King relayed all that happened, (minus Merlin and his magic), while Morgana and Merlin filled them in on the rest. Morgana explained how she knew who told the truth, that she used the truth spell. After they finished, Arthur didn't speak, thinking all this over.

"I am sorry we accused you. Many a good men, myself included have done horrible things under the influence of magic. I hope you can forgive me!" said Arthur, ashamed.

"No harm done Arthur, you have done what any good King should do. About my traitor,"

"I leave him to your disposal." Said Arthur.

"I seek your council, as we were both wronged." Said Odair.

"Very well, he shall be burnt at the stake. What say you?"

"I agreed wholeheartly."

Arthur got up and shook hands with Odair.

"You are welcome to come back to Camelot at any time."

"Thank you. Let me know how Guinevere fairs in the morning."

"I will."

King Odair retired to his guest quarters.

"I wish to thank you all for what you did. You put your lives at risk for Gwen, and that was a noble deed. You all deserve rest." Said Arthur to his friends.

Smiling and agreeing, they started to head out.

"Except you Merlin. My quarters have been unbearable with what happened." Said Arthur.

Merlin groaned.

"Arthur! You should be ashamed of yourself! Merlin risked his life to help Gwen and he knew what we needed to save her! He deserves it too." Said Morgana sternly.

"I suppose you are right Morgana," sighed Arthur mockingly, "But Merlin, I need you up bright and early tomorrow, lots that needs to be done. No time to play lovebirds Morgana."

The two flushed. While they knew Arthur was either going to disapprove or poke fun, this was better than anger. Morgana grinned and held his hand. Arthur made puking motions behind their backs. He would not dare tell them it was about time.
