Chapter 23: A happy reunion.

Lyra put on her wedding gown. It was comfortable and it fitted her perfectly, a great escape dress. She took a turquoise cape from her wardrobe and put it on. All she needed now, was her horse.

She went to the door, but when she tried to open it, she forgot, it was locked. She looked over at the balcony. "Oh, no." She whimpered. Lyra may be brave, but the one thing, apart from Mordred, was heights.

She looked around the room for some rope, but there was none to be found. Lyra started to panic. She had to get out of that room, if she didn't she'd have no choice but to go through with the wedding.

There was a knock on the door, What? They're early! She thought, her heart was aching. "C-come in." She said. The person out side the door tried to open it, but couldn't, she then heard a women's voice whisper something and the door opened. The lady had beautiful raven curls that went to the bottom of her back and beautiful pale green eyes. Lyra had never seen her before.

"Who are you?" She asked the women who was looking at her cape.

"My name is Morgana Penndragon." Lyra gasped.

"You betrayed Arthur." She stated. Morgana looked on the floor, ashamed.

"I did. But I've been helping them hide in the castle since yesterday. They are here to get you out of here." She said. Lyra didn't believe her.

"Arthur's dead." She said. Unless...Did Merlin manage to revive him?

"Yes, he did." Lyra almost jumped out of her skin.

"How did you do that?"

Morgana laughed. "I'm a high priestess. Come with me." She gestured for Lyra to follow. She was excited, she thought she'd never see Arthur or Merlin again.

Gwen was feeling horrible. She felt like death its self. "Gaius... I think I'm..." He sat beside her.

"You are not going to die, Guinevere. I promise." He assured her, but at this point nothing could.

"Don't make promises you can't keep." Mordred said from behind him. "It looks to me like this servant saved my life." Gaius stood from his stool, so the king could sit down.

"Wh-what do you mean, My lord?" Gwen asked.

Mordred smiled cruelly down at her. "You are a stupid girl aren't you? first you send a letter to your previous enemy, and bring her here, then she gives you a ruby, and you held it to long and took the curse from it and now you are going to die. It's your own fault."

"My lord, if I could take a look at the ruby, Gwen might stand a chance." Mordred turned to see Gaius standing and watching him with weary eyes.

"I think not. The jewel has been destroyed, and each piece has been sent to a different place buried." Mordred smiled evilly. "She will die."

"But, My lord-." Mordred cut him off.

"Now, If you don't mind, I've got my wedding to attend to."

Morgana opened her chamber doors but Lyra looked around and Arthur wasn't anywhere. Morgana saw on Lyra's face that she had doubts.

"Behind the screen." Lyra ran to the other side of the room and looked behind the screen, and there sat Merlin and Arthur. "Arthur!" she said blissfully.

"Lyra!" He greeted in return, also blissfully.

"Arthur I've missed you so." Lyra said, hugging him. "Merlin, thank you for bringing him back." She hugged him to.

"Sorry to break the reunion, but the wedding is in one hour." Morgana warned them.
