Challenge Given: Series 4: The Cup of Life
Come up with an idea as to what might have happened to the Cup of Life following its disappearance at the end of Series 3. You can simply locate it and explain how it got there, or you can have a particular character (original or canon or even historical) making use of it at some future time. (Write anywhere from 100-300 words.)
Personal Challenge: Make the whole of this Series 4 challenge a 100 word drabble challenge.
The Cup of Life
She lived deep within Camelot's walls, seeking food for her family, not meaning any harm.
The others had left some time ago to seek alternative forms of nourishment because how could you survive when your only food source was banned?
And her kind breathed and ate magic.
Yet there was still some food here: a hidden artefact, an old book, a quietly cast spell. She often tracked one particular human as he walked the corridors; his presence alone sustaining her for a whole day.
And yesterday, under some rubble, she had found a cup.
Her family would never go hungry again.

A/N: I suspect she found a certain enchanted bangle in the dungeon a year and a half later too.
