This story came to me out of the blue and completely at random. I thought it would be kind of cool. Everything in this story has a explanation eventually. I have edited both BTVS and Merlin to fit to what i personally think the characters should be like. SO DON"T BE HATING! I don't appreciate swearing in reviews either. Constructive Criticism however is different. Now I do not own BTVS, Angel, or Merlin. I do however own the adorable Christopher and Emma Summers


Arthur walked Dawn to the throne room. She seemed to be rather nervous, not that he was surprised. He'd never admit it to anyone, but his father was a very intimedating man. Often making Arthur himself frightened to be in his presense, and he was the man's son. Arthur wanted to offer her some comfort, but he didn't know how. He didn't know if she was wed or soon to be wed, and a woman of her beauty wouldn't stay single for very long.

It didn't take long for their small group to reach the large doors. As usual there were guards at the doors of the throne room. Arthur nodded for them to open the doors and led Dawn in. His father sat in his throne at the end of the hall, which was full of guards, servants and loyal followers. Morgana among them.

Morgana was the kings ward, practically a sister to him. They treated each other as such, often having spouts of sibling rivalry. Most people thought they would eventually marry, but he could never see that happening. Arthur had no romantic feelings for Morgana in the least. Next to Morgana stood her maid, Gweniuvere.

Gwenivere was very beautiful, no one could deny that. She was also kind-hearted, loyal, and had an amazing right hook. Merlin had found that out the hard way when he had surprised her one night. It had all been hilarious to himself of course. Gwen had spent the next two hours apologizing profusely to him. Merlin wouldn't accept any of them, claiming it was an accident.

Ah Merlin. How did one describe Merlin? Merlin was simply put a clumsy idiot. Honestly he had never had a servant cause as many accidents in their entire life what Merlin could do in one day. Although he had to admit as much as Merlin screwed up, he was also most likely the most trustworthly and loyal person in his entire kingdom.

"Ah Arthur, you've returned." He watched as his father turned to acknowledge Dawn. "And who is your lovely young companion?"Arthur gestured her to come forth.

"This is Dawn Summers, we found her being attacked by a strange and hideous creature."

"I can safely assume you put an end to the creatures existance." Making it sound more like a statement than a question.

"Yes, my lord." Arthur anwsered automaticaly.

"Good. Our people are safe. As for you Lady Summers we shall have a room prepared for you immediatly." Arthur knew this would happen. His father always took in people who've been attacked by furious magical creatures. What he didn't expect was Dawn's response.

"Thank-you your majesty, but I'm not sure if I should accept." The only face that didn't have shock written on it was the Kings.

"And may I know why you are denying my offer?" To be honest Arthur was rather curious why the young beauty wouldn't accept the offer. Usually after being attacked women would cling to the nearest man and downright refuse to go anywhere alone. Not deny a stay in a castle with the strongest fighters in Camelot.

"Well I honestly have no idea how I ended up in those woods this morning. And if I don't know how I got there, then my family most likely has no idea where I am. So I have to get to them and fast before they start to worry. They have enough things to worry about without adding a missing family member to the mix." Dawn was incerdible. He couldn't believe that she would risk her life just so her family wouldn't worry. When he looked at his father he could tell that his father was shocked at her selflessness as well.

"Then we will simply help you in your search for your family, while you stay here. We can't have a women roaming the forest unprotected." Arthur again was not all that surprised at his father's solution. He never let anyone except his strongest knights wander deep into the forest now and days. He especially never let a unprotected women like Dawn go in there alone. With her beauty it woudn't take long for someone or something to attack her.

"I don't really think..." Dawn began to protest.

"Nonsense, you are more then welcome to stay in my castle until you are reunited with your family." Dawn smiled kindly at his father.

"Thank-you, that's really sweet." Uther returned the smile and gestured towards Morgana.

"Morgana will show you to where you will be staying." Arthur watched as Morgana guided Dawn to the guest quaters in mild longing. He was happy Dawn had agreed to stay in the castle. He truly wanted to learn more about her, she was very interesting. Unfortunatly for him he wouldn't see her until they had dinner this evening.

"Arthur." He turned his head towards the King of Camelot.

"Yes my lord."

"I would like to have a private word with you if you don't mind."

"Yes my lord."

Arthur followed Uther towards the strategy chamber that was connected to the throne room. The room held only a plain table with a map of Cameot covering it's surface. Arthur had been in this room many times, to plan attacks and defense against enemies.

He watched as his father walked to the opposite end of the table. Uther didn't turn around to face his son as he spoke.

"Arthur your going to be 21 soon, and when you do you will become Crown Prince of Camelot." Arthur couldn't think of anything else to say but.

"Yes Father." He didn't know why his father was telling him this. Uther knew that Arthur knew of that, all the surrounding kingdoms knew of that. There was a banquet to be held in a few months time to honour it.

"As such you will have certain duties and responsiblities that will have to be fulfilled."

"I am prepared to accept them fully." He anwsered automatically.

"One of which will be marriage." Arthur was speechless for a moment, but quickly recovered.

"Father, I know many people expect Morgana and I to marry, but..." He responded quickly, before his father cut him off.

"I wasn't referring to Morgana." Now he was confused, he couldn't think of anyone that his father would think of marrying him to. Especially if she would be the future Queen of Camelot.

"Then who?" Arthur asked genuinely curious.

"What do you think of Lady Dawn?" Arthur expected quite a few anwsers. THAT was not one of them.

"Lady Dawn is a very exquisate individual, but she is worried about her family. It would be wrong to take advantage of her feelings and ask her to wed in this situation."

"Yes, your right. But I saw the way you were glancing at her and besides what women wouldn't want to be your bride?" Arthur could not believe what he was hearing.

"Father as much as I respect you I can't go through with that approach. Perhaps your right I do care about her. If the Gods favoured me and Lady Dawn and I happened to wed then I won't stop fate, But I will not take advantage of her." Again his father shocked him. The King began to smile and chuckle.

"One things for sure. Your definatly smitten by this new guest of ours."

"What makes you say that?"

"That's the first time in years you have ever refused one of my suggestions. Make sure it never happens again." Uther smiled at his son.

"Yes father." Arthur grinned when he saw his father smiling once more. He watched as he returned to the thrown room still grinning. He then turned to go find Merlin. He had many preperations for tonight.


Dawn, Morgana, and Gwen walked to the chambers where Dawn would be staying while she was in Camelot. It was a quite walk but a comforting one. It was almost as though they knew that nothing they said would make things any better, cause honestly how could they. She was trapped in some backwards dimension of Camelot, where magic was banned and she was doomed. Before Dawn realized it they were at the door of the chamber.

"I do hope it meets your satisfaction." Morgana said as she opened the door to a well lit chamber.

Dawn's eyes lit up when she walked into the room. It was so beautiful, like something out of a fairytale. The walls were decorated with deep emerald curtains. The furniture all looked like it was made of a dark mahogany. There were flowers of all kinds and candles scattered around the room. A large canopy bed lay against the stone wall with a beautiful window seat on the opposite side. Next to the bed was a table with two chairs, it had a vase of freshly picked flowers and two beautiful candle holders.

"Do you like it?" The question broke Dawn of her stupor. She'd been so ingrossed in the amazing room that she had honestly forgotten that their were other people in the room.

"I think that this is easily the most beautiful room I have ever been in." Gwen and Morgana smiled at her. Dawn noticed a pretty girl with them. She had honey coloured hair, smokey eyes, and tan skin.

"Thank-you," Morgana said in reply "This is Braelyn she will be tending you during your stay."

"New friends are always fun." Dawn smiled.

"We will leave you to get settled, and we will see you at dinner this evening." Morgana and Gwen turned to leave the room when Dawn remembered something.

"Wait Morgana," They turned around and smiled. "I hate to bother you, but do you have any clothing I could borrow."

"We shall send the tailor up immediatly." Dawn was slightly taking back at this anwser. All she wanted was to borrow something to get her through the time she would spend here trying to get back home.

"A tailor?" Was the only thing she could think of saying.

"Yes, we will come and get you when it's time for dinner. Well see you soon." They left the room leaving a dumbfounded Dawn. This was going to be interesting stay.
