Sorry to say, but I have two bits of bad news.

One: I'm leaving again, and I won't have internet access for two days. To make up for it, I'm posting the next two chapters now.

Two: this is the end of Uther's nightmares. It's also the end of this fic for quite a while. My real life is going to pick up pace in less than a week, and I really can't afford to fall behind.

WARNING: Spoilers for 5x03 in this and the next update.

He is in a fog most of the time. He hears voices, but cannot make out the words.

He remembers sitting in the hall, watching jesters. Then one of the jesters turned on Arthur. He recalls fighting, then falling, then telling Arthur that he would be a good king.

He is now in the Otherworld. And he can see the destruction Arthur has brought on the kingdom he worked so hard to build. Commoners among the ranks of the knights; worse, a commoner for a queen!

Uther vows that somehow he will repair the damage of his traitorous son's doing.

One more to go! I suggest waiting a day or two before reading it, just to stretch it out.
