Chapter two
Leon's POV
Walking through the castle Leon reviewed the summons the princess had sent him.
Leon, gather the knights and meet me in
the counsel room, I have something to show you. she was like her father, brave and just.
but sometimes she could be rather bossy, he had seen her grow from a little angel to someone
who could wield Excalibur better than most of the knights could wield a sword. as he entered the counsel room
she ran to him, "Leon! thank goodness, she barely allowed him to bow before she turned to grab something from the table,
it was a scroll they had received from Morgana, claiming she held the Queen, they all had the scroll memorized and the counsel was
still discussing if it could be Morgana alive again, he looked at her "Princess, we all saw Morgana defeated,
I'm sure the Queens fine and someone took advantage in her absence." she turned to him "Leon we can't take that chance!
Morgana threatens to kill Mother on the night of the full moon, that's only a week away! we have to do something!"
the Princesses POV
it was then that the rest of the knights assembled, along with the counsel of Camelot.
bowing to the princess (and in her mothers absence regent)
of Camelot, then they all proceeded to tell her that Morgana had died and
the thought of her mother being taken was ridiculous, Leon sighed. they all thought of her as a child, though to be fair so had he,
and she was indeed young...but she wielded Excalibur and led the round table, and they were acting as though she was some innocent child.
the Princess stood, "thank you for you're counsel, my knights and I will confer at the round table to make a decision."
then she looked at the knights and left for the small antechamber that held the round table, the table
was large and beautiful, the knights all hung
their swords at the backs of their chairs, the round table was made up of
her most trusted knights, they protected her and taught her, with them she
could be herself, and they all called her by her name. not Princess or highness but Adalia. her Mother had
chosen the name to honer her father, Gaius
had told her that in the old religion Adalia meant Noble and Strong so when Gwen saw her eyes flash gold
she had said that it was fitting to name her
daughter in the tongue of the old religion. she thought all this as she walked to the table
sitting gracefully she suddenly slouched.
Elyan was the first to speak, "Adalia? are you alright?" she sat straight again,
"I've been using all my magic to try to find her,
and I still don't get anything...I know she's alive but then something blocks my sight
and I lose her." then Percival spoke up
"Adalia the kingdom needs you, wearing yourself out will not help anyone, you're Mother can handle herself."
then Gwaine spoke up "yeah Del, and besides if the Queen does need help something will show up to help you." then Gwaine left to refill his bottle.
Leon nodded, "if you wish we shall continue searching for news, and besides,
it seems those Cou
nselors have forgotten who is regent,
we need to remind them who is Princess." at that moment Gaius came bustling in with
two men and a woman, the knights stood up in shock, "King Arthur!" Leon exclaimed and I gasped, this
was my Father!? as a Child the knights had told me of him, and I had wondered
what he was like, but I thought he had died at the battle with Morgana. at that moment
Gwaine came wondering back in, he saw the men and dropped his bottle
"Merlin!?" asked Gwaine "am I drunk?" Adalia turned to him...Gwaine, you're always drunk!" they all laughed and Gwaine said,
"well Del it's easier to block out your girlie yells when I'm passed out!" Leon laughed "Gwaine the way you tease
her she might decide to drink again" Adalia rolled her eyes, "it was one time and I swear it was Gwaine's fault!
I could have sworn there was cider in my cup." Arthur laughed "Gwaine." he said making a mock stern face
"did you get my daughter drunk?" they all laughed as Gwaine nodded sheepishly, but Arthur was watching Adalia and saw her start as he called
her his daughter. he had heard the knights speaking to her as they neared the chamber through a
secret passage he had installed to get into the counsel chamber. Gaius had explained the situation with Gwen,
and Arthur was proud of his young daughter, he had become king in his twenties and he had felt over burdened sometimes.
he turned to the knights and was about to speak when the window crashed open and a small bird flew to Adalia.
she took the paper tied to his leg and set him down on the table, sitting down she read the letter the bird chirped and without taking
her eyes from the missive she waved her hand and spoke, "tru im cantotom" the bird chirped again as a bowl of water appeared.
and Adalia stiffened. "the druids saw Morgana enter the forest...exactly where my Mother had entered before!"
she looked up and Arthur saw her eyes glisten with tears. "Morgana has Momma!
you guys are lucky! this is the longest chapter I have ever written! please Review,
I will ignore flames because "sticks and stones may break
my bones but words can never hurt me"
and if you don't like my story don't read it.
