A Journey To The Past

The Beginning

This is my fist story. Please feel free to let me know any spelling mistakes! Enjoy the rest! Have any questions let me know.

-----------------------------------

It started out like any normal day in Camelot. The sun shining, the birds singing, and a nice hunting trip to start off the day. The fact that nothing bad had happend yet should've been the fist sign that something would go wrong because you should know there never is a day in Camelot where anything is normal.

"Merlin," Arthur said exasperatedly. "Is there any way that you could not sound like a bumbling bad of angry hornets?"

'Sorry," Merlin said irritated while the other knights snickered quietly into their hands. "But really, it's your own prattish fault. You know I'm horrible at hunting."

Arthur turned to face him. "well, maybe you should fix that." He was about to say more when his eyes caught something rustling in the bushes over Merlin's shoulder. One second he was telling his idiot servant off and the next a young girl cam from behind a tree.

She looked to be around 19 years old and wore a plain white dress. She had long brown hair that flowed along her backside and a small smile on her face.

Arthur pushed Merlin out of the way, non too gently, and walked quickly towards her. "Can we help you? Are you lost?"

She just looked at him, almost with sympathy. "No, I know exactly where I am. you, Arthur Pendragon, is the one who's lost."

"What are you talking abou-" but before he could finish, everyone felt a pain in their heads.

"What are you doing?!" Leon exclaimed. It all went black leaving one though in everyone's mind. I knew I should of stayed home.

---------------------------

An hour later, everyone started to wake. They were in a small dusty hut that looked abandoned some years before.

Arthur was the first to wake up fully. He looked around at his surrounding and his eyes fell on a familiar body.

"Gwen," he said as he rushed to his wife's side. She opened her eyes slowly at his touch and gasped for air.

"Arthur? Where are we?" She asked.

"We're in what seems to be an abandoned house. How did you get here?"

"I could ask you the same question," she said jokingly. "I was walking down the hallway when I had this feeling someone was watching me. I hesitated, and then everything went black. I woke up and here I am," she finished matter-of factly. "Now your turn, how did you guys get here?"

Arthur opened his mouth to speak when a voice cut him off.                                                                            'We were hunting in the wood when we cam across a little snag."

Arthur spun around to see the others standing there. He almost forgot that they were with him in the house. 

"There was this young girl. When we saw here, I felt a pain in my head, we all did. Then everything went black and just like you we woke up here." continued Leon.

"Gwen?" Elyan asked, obviously concerned. "Are you alright? She didn't hurt you or anything?"

Gwen got up from where she was laying and walked over to her brother. "I'm fine Elyan. I'm glad you are too."

Gwaine fidgeted around. "Ok, I'm sorry to interrupt this little feeling fest, but am I the only one wondering why we're even here?"

"Gwaine is right. We have to figure out who did this, and why they did this." Merlin agreed.

"Let me help you with that." The young girl from the forest walked into the room. As soon as he saw her, Gwaine shuffled over to where she stood.

"What is a fine young lady like you doing in a place like this?" Everyone else refrained from rolling their eyes, well, tried to.

She let out a soft giggle. "My name is Lily and I am flattered Sir Gwaine, but I don't think now is the right time for such pleasantries."

"It was you," pointed out Arthur. "You brought us here. You're a sorceress." At these words, Arthur and the other knights pulled out their swords. "I demand you release us this minute."

"I'm sorry sire, but I can not do that." She looked genuinely sorry. "You may or may not know this, but you have such a great destiny before you, and I fear that you may never reach it without what I'm about to do."

Of course, being the king he sim Arthur didn't acknowledge anything she said and continued to threaten her. "You have magic, you are under arrest for treason. Now let us out of here now."

"I am truly sorry Arthur. but I can't until you see reason."

He was going to argue some more but he was cut of by Gwaine. "C'mon mate, it won't hurt to hear what she has to say."

Arthur spluttered. "What?! She has magic! Magic is evil!"

"Not necessarily no," Percival announced. "I've come to learn that magic is a tool, it can be used for evil purposed and good purposed, depending on the user. It is no evil then my sword or your sword. Does your sword corrupt you?"

They all stared at him completely in shock. No one has ever heard him say that much. Percival was always the quiet one in the group.

After a stare down between Arthur and Gwen, Arthur reluctantly agreed to the idea of hearing her out.

"Wonderful! Now I'm going to show you a collection of memories from the past that can help you better understand each other. Lets get stared shall we?"
