Chapter 2

The King of Camelot was addressing his court, they were debating on how the citadel could be made more secure and guarded. Suddenly the door's burst open as Sir Ector gasped rushing in "Sire, It's Sir Gorlois he's been mortally wounded and request's your presence immediately." Uther's face paled as he struggled to control his fear and concern "The council is dismissed" he announced as the council grabbed their papers and maps before scurrying out of the room. The king breathed in and out hard before marching to Gauis's chambers as quickly as he could with Sir Ector following in pursuit. With no time to knock the king burst through the door of the physician's chambers rushing to his best friend's side. He clasped the knight's bloody hand as he tried to compose himself "What happened Gorlois?" he whispered Gorlois looked pale as milk and gasped every two seconds struggling to breathe properly "B Ba Bandits" came the reply as Uther's jaw clenched. Sighing in defeat the king looked towards Gauis "Is he going to be alright?" The physician looked troubled at that question "My lord the blade has pierced the heart, I'm afraid there's nothing more i can do" Uther's face displayed a pained expression it couldn't be, his best friend had to make it.

"What about Magic Gauis?" Gauis shook his head "I performed the strongest healing spell i know sire, i fear it's too late" Uther nodded sadly.

"How much longer do we have?" Uther asked focusing his attention on the wounded man in front of him.

"A few hours, two days at most I'm sorry Sire" Gauis replied as Gorlois nodded and smiled at Uther who kept his eyes locked with Gorlois's willing him to heal or some miracle to happen, this couldn't happen. He couldn't die now.

"I I I wish to be in my chamber's when the time comes" Gorlois looked determined at that. "Of course my friend" Uther nodded. The king needed to get away find some air and try to breath without it hurting his chest this much so he turned around and excited the chambers trying not to fall apart.

Walking down the corridor Uther has never felt this helpless before, Gorlois was the closest thing he had to a brother and he wasn't ready to lose him just yet, he had planned for them to grow old and grey and laugh as their children grew up and made alliances. Children, poor Morgana what was to become of her? the girl was barely a toddler she would be all alone in the world. He had already informed his wife and son of the news who were currently praying in the court chapel for a miracle. There was no way Uther could explain what was happening to the young Morgana she was way to young to understand but there had to be a goodbye if someone was leaving. As he made his way to her chambers he composed himself and entered, Hunith bowed in his presence as he saw the young girl in her bed clutching her blanket "Come Morgana, we need to say goodbye to your Father" he swooped down carrying the young girl to Gorlois's chambers.

The meeting or goodbye as it were was heartbreaking to watch as Gorlois was running out of time but told his young daughter to be loyal, strong and brave, Morgana just cuddled at his side she seemed to be listening to her father's voice before closing her eyes and falling asleep. In a corner of the room Igraine sat crying softly tears staining her beautiful cheeks she held on to Arthur who sat on her lap looking equally glum. "Hunith escort Morgana to her chambers" The nanny bowed before carrying the young girl out of the chambers.

"U Uth Uther" Gorlois gasped out Uther rushed to his bedside "Yes my dear friend" Gorlois smiled once more.

"P Ple Please take in Mor Morgana as your ward, promise yo you'll bring her up as your own" Uther's eyes glistened with tears which spilled over.

"I I Know it's a huge wish to ask, but I'm a fa father i wo worry" Uther wiped at his tears before clearing his throat.

"Nonsense, you've earned the right to ask that of me, I vow to you and Morgana she will be brought up as if she's my flesh and blood, i shall provide her with everything she needs you need not worry."

Gorlois nodded and smiled for the last time, his final breath came out and his lungs stopped. Igraine hugged Arthur as she and Uther sobbed harder in grief, Uther gently guided his finger's closing his best friend's eye's allowing him to rest in peace he sobbed as his chest ached.

"UTHER! My water just broke!" Igraine exclaimed.
