Chapter 17: A Letter and After a Few Days of Death
Mordred took one last look at Lyra and opened the door to his chambers and was shocked to see a servant girl leaning against the wall next to the door. "Whats your business here?" he demanded, making her eyes dart to him. He slammed the door again and pinned the girl to the wall.
"I...I... I was just passing, My lord." Gwen lied.
Mordred narrowed his eyes. "You were listening, weren't you?" she shock her head.
Mordred let go of her. He was about to say something to her when he heard footsteps from behind him.
"My Lord!" a guard called.
"Leave us." Mordred ordered Gwen, who hurried away. I have to get help...from anyone...The Princess needs it!
"My Lord, We were guarding the dungeons door when the Princess Lyra came to visit the cells." Mordred smiled. He already knew that was hours ago...The guards must have been practicing what they were going to tell him... "I said, 'none shall pass. King's orders.' Then Princess Lyra said 'Surely that doesn't count for his love?'" Mordred laughed. The potion has clearly worn of a bit now, then! "We hesitated, but decided to let her in..." The guard paused and looked at his companion...
"What?" Mordred asked.
"Well, My lord..." The other guard continued. "She kept leaving then came back almost all the morning...Until we...uh...we..." He trailed of.
"You what?" Mordred was getting bored now.
"We heard a crash... Then we went down to investigate and the prisoner and the Princess had vanished!"
Mordred laughed again, but knew that it was a little bit risky for letting Merlin live... He needs Merlin to bring Arthur to life to give him a proper execution when he returns... So all of Camelot will know to fear him.
"The Princess is fine. She is sleeping. Now go back to the dungeons." Mordred turned away, "I have things to do..."
The guards left without a fuss, but looked at Mordred, slightly confused at his behavior. Had it been Arthur, he would have ran to the dungeons himself and investigate. But Mordred just laughed...
Morgana Penndragon looked around her. Why am I here? In this bloody hut in the middle of the bloody forest!? She thought. If I just stayed in Camelot and let Arthur become king, I would never have became queen! But sitting in this hut doing nothing doesn't get me very far either, does it?
Morgana was lost... She had no grudge against her brother... She was only annoyed with her 'father' who pretended she was only his ward. But she wasn't! She was meant to be the future queen of Camelot! But Uther was dead now... She could just return to Camelot and beg for forgiveness and sleep in her large room again, and talk with her friends and all the stuff she used to do...
She was brought out of her thoughts when Aithusa, her dragon, made a noise from behind her. She looked at him, and realized he had a letter attached on the collar she put around his neck, encrusted with emeralds.
Morgana removed it and opened it.
Morgana,
Mordred has taken the throne and Arthur is dead.
The Princess Lyra is going to be forced to marry Mordred.
And we need your help. I know you want Arthur dead, but I thought that if he wasn't king,
You might help your friends... If you still think of us that way.
I believe in you Morgana, you are not evil, you only wanted magic to be accepted.
Your old maid,
Guinevere
Morgana's eyes widened, Arthur's dead, Mordred king... Who is Princess Lyra? Morgana stood and went to grab a piece of parchment, and quill.
Meet me in the Darkling woods at nightfall,
Morgana.
Merlin had been chanting for hours and almost fell asleep when he was smacked in the face by something, when he opened his eyes, he saw instantly, that Arthur was breathing. His heart filled with joy. But Merlin wouldn't wake him yet, Arthur needed rest. And Merlin was certain all the news would be to much for him to bare if he were too tired.
Merlin himself fell asleep and was woken by a harder smack then he had had before. "Merlin! Wake up!" Arthur's voice called.
Merlin woke and a huge grin appeared on his face, "How do you feel? You look great after a few days of death..." He thought out loud.
"I feel great!" Arthur said happily... Not for long... Merlin sighed.
"Arthur I have to tell you something... Or rather several..."
Hope you liked it! I'm happy Arthur's alive again! Imagine what Lyra will do when she sees him!
Don't forget about the love potion and what Mordred's 'Things to do' are! tell me what you think! :D
