~At the entrance to the forrest~
(Gwen's POV)

I walked into the Forrest, expecting to be at the small clearing by the lake within around twenty-five minutes. God, why on earth did I decide to come into here without a horse again? It would have been so much quicker. At least I have the dagger which Morgana gifted me 2 month ago on my birthday. I hastily patted my pocket to check if it was there- which, to my delight, it was. She said she saw it and thought of me, and that she just "had to get" for me. I traced my finger down the green scale-like cover which was on it, all the way from the pink flowers at the top to the small gem at the bottom before I put it back into my pocket with a small smile on my face, which was quickly wiped from my face as I looked up and realises I was completely lost...

'Where in the world am I?' I thought to myself as I looked around in awe. The trees where much taller then any I had seen before, like I had stumbled into another world. I gasped quietly as I saw two small children who looked to be of the age of 7 and 9 run through a patch of beautiful flowers. 'Morgana would love those' was all that went through my mind as I looked at them. It seemed as if my legs had a mind of their own as I almost glided towards them, knelt down on the soft, green woodland floor and started picking only the most beautiful flowers from the ground and holding them close in my left hand as I was gathering them in my right.

(Unknown's POV)

'Who is this woman?' I thought as I hid behind a particularly thick tree which housed countless squirrels, who where chattering loudly above me.
'What is she here for?'
She seemed to be wearing a very skillfully hand-stitched dress, unlike anything I had ever seen before- you had to hand it to her, this stranger could really make clothes. Maybe she could fix my shirt.. it was too short, but I had the right colour material in my home to fix it with, I just couldn't wrap my head around how to do it without pricking myself on the tiny needle.

"E-excuse me?" I said in a shy voice as I approached the unknown visitor before me.

"Oh! I didn't realize I want alone.. yes?" She responded. Her voice was light and beautiful, soft even. Everyone here was always seemed to be yelling but this girl seemed different. Kinder.

"Well I was wondering if you could help me fix my shirt? Its gotten too small for me recently.."

"Sure I can! But I don't have my equipment with me at the moment,"

'She has such a pretty smile'
"Ah! I have everything you would need at my cottage, if you would be comfortable following me," I gushed, my confidence returning now that I knew she was willing to help.

"Ah, ofcoarse! I'm Guinevere, or Gwen for short. What about you?"

"I'm Alex!" I said before grabbing her hand and leading her through the narrow, winding path down to the main village.

(Gwen's POV)

As I was walking down the winding path, adorable little cottage-like houses came into my view. They all had very small chimney on top which had smoke running out into the sky. When Alex lead me to their home, they lead me straight to their room and asked me to sit on the bed while they got the sewing kit from the bottom of their wardrobe and handed it to me with a small smile. I immediately got to work, teaching them at the same time and answering all of the questions thrown at me.

~One hour later~
(Alex's Mother POV)

As I entered my house, I heard talking and giggling from Alex's room. For god's sake, can't he atleast let me know when he's having friends over?! He should finally learn how to sew like I told him to or he'll never have clothes that fit him properly. I stood at the door to try and listen to what they where talking about when I heard

"Wow! This looks great, Guinevere, even better then it did before!"

"Well it was mostly you, so good job! And I told you earlier, you can call me Gwen,"

I walked in prepared to give Alex his almost daily lecture on how he needs to work on his education when I realized what they had been doing- smiling slightly I said, "That looks great honey," and left to go back to the kitchen and start the stew with a small smile on my face.

Sorry it's not a lot ,I just couldn't really get into it. I'm not really proud of this one to be honest, my mind kept running to different places and I found it hard to concentrate. Hopefully the next one will be better! ❤️
