I have a lot of stuff on my hands so updates will be as frequent as possible.

Chapter 4

Adalia's POV

she should have known something was wrong when Leon and Elyan asked to talk to her the meeting with the counsel

she led them to the one place she would talk, her Mother's garden. Gwen had planted it to

get away from life as Queen, and to spend time with her daughter. Adalia turned to see both knights giving her a "look."

they had many "looks" and none of them were good. this one said they would be saying things she wouldn't want to hear,

"what!" she asked, "you need to give him a chance," Elyan nodded, "he is you're Father." she sighed,

"I know, but I can't let him in, what if he ends up being an illusion or something. I can't afford to have a breakdown while Mamma's

in danger," Leon and Elyan shared another "look" then they both turned to Adalia. "Angel" he said, and she started at the old nickname

"you can't keep holding back because of one jerk, and you are to strong to breakdown a second time because of something like that...lastly

Arthur is not that kind, he would rather die than hurt someone he loves, and he loves you." she nodded,

"alright I'll try to deal with this better

but I don't think that it's a good idea." Leon nodded,

"your opinion will be duly noted," Elyan grinned "and ignored, now go talk to him."

Arthur's POV

he watched Gaius give Gwaine a glare, "don't forget to remind her to up the spells on her walls,

I think she's weakened them." Arthur frowned, why would she have spells on her walls?" Merlin turned to him.

"she has nightmares, and no amount of potions or magic will keep them away, so Gwen moved her into the room adjoining yours

and Adalia put up spells to keep her screams from waking her Mother and the castle." Arthur nodded and would have asked about his daughter

but she entered the room. "the counsel has accepted the story and are sending scouts for Percival and our Druid friends.

and I'm planning on going to find Aithusa and her hatchlings." she turned to Arthur, "Mamma's room is on the third floor, I'll walk you up."

Arthur found himself walking in between Leon and Elyan with Gwaine behind and Adalia next to Leon,"what time can you be

ready to leave tomorrow Uncle Elyan?" she asked, "I'll have someone ready to go with you, but I can't leave Camelot" she turned to look at him.

"alright, just don't send me with one of the trainees...last time I rode with one of them I managed to terrify him."

Leon looked at her, "when was this? and how did you scare this one off?" she smirked, "last month, I was showing him

Dragon speak...how was I to know that Aithusa would show up and roar at him?" Gwaine laughed, "almost as bad as us playing tricks on

Mordred, when he first joined the knights" she turned to Arthur, "this is you're room. goodnight." turning she walked into the one

next door. Leon sighed "don't mind her, she's just in shock." Elyan nodded, "how soon will you be ready to ride?" at Arthur's look he elaborated.

"she needs time to get used to you, and she can't do that if she isn't around you. so you will be going to protect her from the wild.

besides, I can't spare any knights. and since you are supposed to stay hidden this works out well for everyone." Arthur nodded, "I suppose,

I'll need something to do besides worry about Gwen."

Gwen's POV

as she sat in the dark cell with nothing to do, she thought of her daughter often, her worry was not for herself

(she knew she would see Arthur if she died,) but for her daughter, thinking of Adalia she began to smile. she was so much like Arthur

it hurt to watch her sometimes, but watching their daughter...Arthur's daughter, gave her more joy than anything

she'd ever known. thinking of Adalia her thoughts turned to Arthur. and she felt a tug in her heart. missing him was something she'd

always known...knowing she could not have him, having him and losing him because of Lancelot, and then having him and hearing he'd died.

but after he'd died she'd had Adalia, to cuddle and teach, to love forever. again that tug came to her heart. Adalia needed her father,

and Guinevere would give her life to bring Arthur back.

Dun Dun Dun Duh! well there you go, another chapter up.
