A/N: Hey, guys! Okay, so because my employers apparently love having me around, I have to work from 8:30 to 4:00 tomorrow. And we have a huge sale going this weekend. Starting tomorrow. *crosses fingers* Let's all pray I don't mess anything up. In other news! So, because my mom and I both love Edgar Allen Poe, we read some more of his stuff in lit. class this week. This little bit was inspired by his poem 'Alone.' I don't know if it's the best thing I've ever written, but whatever. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Yeah, of course it's-not mine. Sadsauce.

56. Loneliness
I watched other children, while I was growing up in Ealdor, from a distance. I never fit in with them. They never knew my secret, but they could tell I was different somehow. It grew easier as I became older, but I was never fully accepted back home.
When first I came to Camelot, I was hopeful for change. That things would be better. In a sense, they did. I had Gaius to guide and teach me, but I couldn't openly practice magic, or I'd be killed.
My life, I guess, despite my best friends, was always destined for solitude.
Cheers!
