Hey guys! I am sooo sorry for this long wait! I finally have been able to get past my horrible case of writer's block! I have a limited amount of time for fanfics now, though, so I apologize for this incredibly short chapter! Please read and review!
"Morgana, I am so sorry that I did not believe you when you told me you were not a Seer," said Uther.
"You would throw me in the dungeons and allow me to be tortured based on Aredian's word?" she cried angrily.
"The crystal ball, it was so convincing! Argued Uther.
"A crystal ball. Why would I leave it out in the open like that if it was mine? Especially if there's a Witchfinder in the area!" She yelled, her anger rising.
"I do not know, Morgana, and I am sorry. But Gaius's records do show that many of your dreams have come to pass!"
"Only because I imagine the worse case scenarios!" she defended herself. "You fear magic more than you love your ward," she accused.
"Morgana!" said Uther, shocked at what Morgana was saying.
"I'm sorry my lord" said Morgana, curtsying and quickly exiting the room. Her anger was threatening to overwhelm her. She could not let the idea of her being a Seer grow in Uther's mind. She now knew that he would stop at nothing to rid his kingdom of all magic, even if it meant torturing and killing his own ward.
"Morgana!" cried Gwen, rushing to embrace Morgana as she entered her bedchamber.
"Gwen, I am so happy to see you!" cried Morgana.
"I heard that Uther had saved you, but I couldn't believe it!" wept Gwen.
"Yes, he saved me," said Morgana, her voice suddenly growing cold, "After he left me to Aredian to be tortured into a confession and the burnt at the stake!" she growled.
"Morgana, I can only imagine what it must feel like for Uther to have sentenced you to that." Gwen sympathized. Hot tears rolled down Morgana's face.
"He doesn't love me as much as he lets on., does he Gwen," she questioned.
"I wouldn't say that," said Gwen, "He is just so afraid of magic, he doesn't think straight."
"Gwen, do you really believe that? Magic wouldn't cause him to sentence Arthur to death, but it would cause him to sentence me." Said Morgana, anger and hurt melding into a powerful hatred for Uther.
"Morgana, it's over now" said Gwen, concerned that Morgana would do something drastic.
"yes, you're right, as always" said Morgana, a smile returning to her face as she let Gwen help her into a new gown and tie her hair up in the usual way. But it was far from over. Uther could not just hand her over to be tortured and killed and then act like nothing happened. How many of the people he sentenced to death were innocent? How many didn't even have magic? And even if they did, how did he know for sure if they were set to destroy Camelot? This was injustice and it must be dealt with...from the inside.
