It's been twelve years since she lived in her father's household. She no longer has nightmares of his death.

Tonight she awakens shaking, though all she recalls of the dream is a wail of anguish.

The next morning, it's another day, another sorcerer, another head in the basket. Uther proclaims a celebration to mark the twentieth anniversary of his crusade against magic.

Then she hears it: the mother of the dead man, sobbing. She vanishes in a whirlwind of dust after promising Arthur's death in vengeance.

Morgana shudders as she closes the window. She'd heard that wail in her nightmare.
