Chapter five

"Milady?" the sight of Gwen made Morgana safe and happy.

"Oh, Gwen. Thank god you're here" Morgana said and hugged her maid.

"Was it the nightmares?" Gwen asked. She looked worried. Morgana just nodded.

"Did you take the remedy Gaius made for you?" Morgana completely forgot to take the sleeping potion last night, she was just so tired.

"You're still wearing yesterday's clothes, milady" Gwen said. Morgana looked at her clothes. There were a lot of things she forgot last night. She and Merlin had practiced all night, and the talk with Morgause didn't help on the sleep. And the dream definitely didn't either. Morgana was exhausted.

"Yes, I forgot. I was so tired last night, what time is it?" Morgana asked. She felt like she hadn't slept at all.

"It's almost noon, you have to get ready for the trip with Arthur and the knights" Gwen said. Morgana had completely forgotten about that. She was too excited about magic; she must've frozen it out.

"Yes, of course. Let's get me ready" Morgana said and smiled. Gwen helped Morgana get her armour on. It wasn't that big. Her chainmail wasn't as strong as the knights or Arthurs, but it protected her. She had a plate covering her stomach and her back. Gwen collected Morganas hair in a braid. Morgana put on some brown gloves and took her sword.

"Are you ready?" Morgana asked Gwen.

"I'm not coming with you" Gwen said and looked down.

"Why not?" Morgana didn't know what to do without her. If she wasn't coming with them, what was she going to do, then?

"Gaius need some help, and I think the trip is too long for me. I can't go so long away" Gwen tried to explain, Morgana didn't buy it, "It'd just slow you down" Gwen said, she looked at Morgana and smiled. Morgana accepted the excuse. But it was bad, and Gwen knew it.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Yes?" Morgana asked.

"Are you ready, milady? We're riding now" it was Merlin. Morgana opened the door and smiled, Merlins face always made Morgana happy. He smiled back.

"Your bags?" he said. Gwen gave them to Merlin, and he started to walk down the hall.

"You better come with a proper excuse when I come back, Gwen" Morgana said and hugged Gwen. The maid smiled and looked into Morganas eyes.

"Yes, milady" Gwen said and bowed.

"Have a nice trip" Gwen smiled; Morgana hugged her again and rushed out. She wanted to reach Merlin.

"Merlin?" she said, when she reached him.

"Yes, milady?" he looked at her with big blue eyes. He was so sweet.

"Are we going to continue on the trip?" she asked and hoped he knew was she was talking about.

"Maybe" Merlin said and rushed down the stairs to her horse. They'd reached the big door to the castle and the big stone stairs outside. The horses were ready, Arthur was petting his horse. It was brown with a white spot on its forehead. Gwaine already sat on his horse, it had the same colour as his hair, dark brown and pretty. Percival and Leon's horses were black. Percivals horse had white hooves and Leons had a white spot on its neck. Elyans horse were Brown with a black spot on its forehead. Merlin had put Morganas bags on her horse, and they were ready to go. Morgana petted her horse. It was white as snow. It was a beautiful horse. She loved her.

"Good girl" Morgana said and placed herself in the saddle. They all sat on their horses now, except Merlin. His horse was light brown; it has dark brown hooves and a big, dark brown spot on its forehead. It was also beautiful horse.

They rode through the gates of Camelot. Morgana looked forward to see what was going to happen. So much she almost forgot about the lady in the lake and the warning.
