I rode in through the citadel until one of her men stopped me asking what my business was.

"I am here to see the lady Morgana."

The guard walked me to what I can only assume was Morgana's chambers and left me there with a nod. I took a deep breath, before I raised my hand to knock and waited until I heard her respond for me to enter the room. When I did, I opened the door and walked in, to find her sitting in a chair, and with my powers I could feel that there was something affecting her emotions. I quickly walked over, and I kneeled in front of her chair.

"My lady, are you feeling alright?" she looked at me, and I reached down and lifted my sleeve showing her my druid mark. She smiled upon seeing it, and I lifted my hands with my palms facing up for her to take my hands in hers. When she did I focused on the thing influencing her emotions and began to get rid of it. As I did I could tell that Morgana was beginning to feel her more positive emotions coming through. When I finished, I opened my eyes and looked at her.

"What did you do, I feel as though a weight has lifted off my shoulders, and I no longer feel like I am suffocating in my emotions." Morgana said gratefully.

"My dear lady, there was something that had latched onto you that was affecting your emotions and making you feel only anger, bitterness, and hatred. I could feel it as soon as I stepped into the room, and I have just removed it. My lady, someone has been controlling you, someone immensely powerful from what I could tell." I paused a moment to gauge her reaction. "I got rid of the thing which had latched itself onto your soul, and so now your emotions are solely your own." She smiled at me, and squeezed my hands. She led me over to two armchairs, which were situated in front of a fireplace, and after lighting it with magic, she gestured for me to sit down.

We sat there together for hours, talking and me telling her my story before she showed me to her guest chambers next to hers.

3rd Person POV

Mordred rode up to the steps to where Gwaine, Arthur, Guinevere, and Merlin were waiting for him. He dismounted and handed the reins to a servant as the group approached him. They immediately begin to question him, and when they found out what happened, the knight known as strength was immediately distraught and he advanced on the younger knight with his sword. Before he could do anything, he was pulled back by his comrades.

I walked into the room where breakfast was being served the next morning, to see Morgana sitting at the head of the table with a brilliant white dragon curled up next to the fire a few yards away.

When I saw it I stopped and stared in amazement at the brilliance and beauty of the creature in front of me. Morgana looked up after a minute and, noticing where my eyes had gone, looked at the sleeping dragon. Her expression grew sad. I reached the table and sat next to Morgana. As soon as I sat down, I felt my magic reaching out to the sleeping creature and I was shocked to realize that it was very underdeveloped. Upon feeling my magic, the dragon woke up and looked at me, before standing up and limping over to me. I moved my chair back so the dragon could rest its head into my lap. I began to stroke the injured creature's head pushing my magic through my hand and sending it through the dragon's body. As the magic worked it's way through the dragon's body, it began to heal and grow. At the sight, Morgana looked to me in amazement, and happiness at not being able to see the dragon's ribs through it's tightly stretched skin.

"Your magic is something I have never come across before, you can heal without speaking a spell, or your eyes flashing gold." She broached the unspoken question in tone of voice. I smiled a smile that was full of secrets untold, and continued to stroke the dragon's head and snout.

"What is this beautiful creature's name?" I asked as it got up and limped back to the fire. I looked up at Morgana as she replied.

"Her name is Aithusa"
