The adventure continues…

"Even after all these years I still miss him," Gwen cries slightly, wiping tears from her eyes.

"He was a good father," Elyan adds. "I'm glad we came."

"So am I," Gwen agrees.

"I think that he'd be proud," Leon announces from the head of the riding party as they made their way back to Camelot.

"Particularly of Elyan," Gwen agrees, smiling at her brother as he rode next to her.

Elyan looks slightly surprised by that, "Me?"

"Not because you're a knight," Gwen explains. "But because of the man you've become."

Morgana was watching them from the trees. Her gaze settles on Gwen and she smirks, before turning away and heading deeper into the trees and out of sight. She returns to her horse and mounts it in one swift move, before riding off towards a clearing not far ahead of Gwen and the knights.

"What happened?" Arthur demands.

"We were riding," Elyan explains. "And came upon a nest of snakes."

"Where's Guinevere?!" Arthur suddenly exclaims, upon seeing she isn't in the room.

Elyan and Gwaine look at each other and Gaius raises an eyebrow at the exchange.

"Where is she?" Arthur asks, slowly his voice taking a dangerous tone.

"I told her to get away," Elyan finally answers. "She fled..."

"Arthur?" Merlin called after him.

"We ride at dawn," Arthur calls over his shoulder before he vanishes out of sight.
