I stormed past my brother and Mordred, remounted my horse, and began riding back to Camelot. When we got back I jumped off of my horse before anyone could help me down and started walking angrily back to the round table room. Mordred ran up and stopped me at the doors, hugging me and calming me down before we went to answer Arthur's questions. When I was calm enough, I nodded to the guards, who opened the doors for us to walk into the room. Arthur stood up at our entry, and we bowed before walking over to the table. I sat in the chair and Mordred took his place behind me.

"We heard some things in your story, which have caused us some worry. One thing is that you said that both you and Mordred were Druids. Are you telling me that both of you, whom I have come to trust, are sorcerers?" I could tell that they still don't trust people with magic, and I knew I would have to lie a little bit. I looked up at Mordred and told him what I was doing through our minds. I could tell Mordred was worried, and I was too but it didn't feel right lying to the king. I also couldn't tell him the truth either, because half of it wasn't mine to share. He nodded at me and I turned back to Arthur to tell him the partial truth we had come up with on the way here.

"My lord, one thing that many people do not know about the Druids, is that not all of the people in their groups have magic. Especially the children, they occasionally take in a child without magic if they feel that this child needs them enough. So you have nothing to fear my king." I told him with a smile on my face. As I answered him, I could feel the hand on my shoulder tighten. Arthur looked between the two of us, obviously deep in thought, for a few minutes, before he smiled at us and nodded.

"I do not believe that either of you would do me any harm, so you have nothing to worry about, but that was not the question I asked. You still have not told me whether you have magic, harmless or otherwise, as your friend and king I wish to know." He told us sternly, but not harshly. I turned to look at Mordred and then over to where Merlin was standing off to the side, they both nodded at me. I turned back to Arthur, and sighed before mentally preparing myself to tell one of my big secrets to the king of Camelot.

"I do have powers, as does Mordred, but we do not use magic in the way you are most likely used to. My only abilities have to do with positive emotions; calming people down, cheering them up, but only to a mild extend. I cannot affect a group of people or else it starts to affect me negatively. While I was with the druids, they helped me figure out how my gift works and what I can do with it. Mordred's have to do with the mind; he can communicate with certain people through thought. Our powers cannot harm people, nor do we wish to." I ended on a slightly pleading note, trying to convince the king that he had nothing to fear nor worry about. I was slightly afraid that he would end up like his father, and have us executed for merely possessing any magical capabilities, but Mordred was firm in his beliefs that Arthur was different. So where as I was worried, he was confident, which in turn made me start feeling less worried as the seconds flew by. Eventually, which was probably only a few minutes later, Arthur turned back to us, and began to deliver the verdict.

"Well, since I have never heard of people dying from being too happy, or anything like that, I do not believe that either of you are a threat to Camelot," Arthur told us with a smile on his face, Gwen smiled at us from her place beside Arthur. I started grinning and I knew that Mordred was too. I stood up and walked over to where Arthur was standing to give him and Gwen a hug, Mordred followed me over to shake the king's hand. When we finished hugging I stepped back to Mordred's side, grabbing his hand. I looked over to where Emrys was standing to see him frowning in our direction, the smile left my face as I squeezed Mordred's hand worriedly. He looked down at me and then followed my gaze to where Emrys was standing and squeezed my hand back. I turned back to the round table and a smile came back on my face at seeing all of the people I had begun to grow close to in the short time that I had been here. I was truly the happiest I had ever been in a very long time, and I hoped dearly that nothing would take that away from me.

~TIME SKIP-LATER THAT DAY~

I was walking around Camelot with my hand in the crook of Mordred's arm as he strutted about proudly in his armor and cloak. I was smiling as we talked about inconsequential things, just going back to how we used to be and reflecting on past mischief.

"Mordred, what are we going to do about Emrys? The look in his eyes when said we weren't a threat was unhappy, and he looked at us with contempt and distrust. I have always imagined that meeting him would be different, that he would want to help us, and to have him look at me and feel such horrible things..."

He turned to look me in the eyes, and I could see the sadness in his eyes along with feeling it. He shook his head as he continued walking towards his chambers.

"I do not know Ara, I can tell he has changed from when I was younger and he saved my life. His heart has been hardened. I can imagine because he must have found out my original destiny, though now that he knows yours I would have thought that he would not be so fearful of us. We must talk to him, and try to convince him of our true allegiances; well yours. You know that my true allegiances will always be with you, so wherever you go, I shall dutifully follow." He turned to look at me to emphasize how truthful his statement is, and I could feel his honesty. I smiled to make sure he knew, and he let a brilliant smile come across his face in response. At the sight my breath hitched at his beauty, and my heart stuttered a couple times before continuing to beat twice as fast. I couldn't look away from his eyes that I have grown to love with all of my heart.

"After all that we have been through apart, I am glad to be able to say that I will never have to leave your side again in my life. That you will be there with me, helping me through everything, just that thought will get me through any hardship I must overcome. I know I tell you this often, but I hope that it means the same every time that I tell you." I reached up and rested my hand on his cheek, and he leaned into it looking into my eyes. The sound of loud footsteps made us break apart, only to find that it was a guard walking around on duty, who nodded at us as he passed. We turned back to each other and shy grins came upon our faces as we walked into two different directions, him towards his chambers, and me towards the court physician's.
