Amelia's POV
Arthur and Merlin, accompanied by a group of knights, leave Camelot in search of Idirsholas after smoke is spotted rising from the Citadel—an ancient place that has remained untouched for 300 years. According to legend, the sight of smoke from Idirsholas signals the return of the Knights of Medhir, a foreboding sign that stirs concern.
Meanwhile, Morgana discovers a small box placed on her window ledge, containing a note addressed to her and Amelia. When Amelia reads it, the note reveals a mysterious message:
"My dearest Morgana and Amelia, Meet me tonight after sundown in the woods outside the Castle gates. I will wait for you both by the marked and distinctive oak trees. Until then, keep well."
"Who do you think this is?" Amelia asks Morgana.
"I do not know but perhaps we should have a look?" The woman suggests.
"But this could be anyone! We do not know if this is safe!" Amelia argues. The "My dearest" might imply well, but they have no idea if this is a trap or not.
"But it could be important. We have to take this chance!" Morgana insists.
"Fine, I'm going but only to keep an eye on you," Amelia replies. Morgana sends her an amused smirk.

Amelia and Morgana sneak out of the Castle at night to meet the mysterious stranger in the woods. They reach the spot, look around and it is only when Amelia turns around does she see Morgause standing there. Amelia relaxes at the sight of her other sister despite not knowing her well.
"Morgause," She breathes.
"You both look well," Morgause says with a smile, walking over to them and taking one hand from both of them to hold in hers.
Amelia smiles at her. "Thanks to you." She touches the enchanted bracelet Morgause gave her and sees Morgana do the same for her own. Amelia feels incredibly grateful to Morgause. "We wear them all the time. We can't remember when we last had a bad dream."
"Neither of you seem happy. Why is that?" Morgause questions, concerned.
"I would be if I didn't have to pretend," Morgana replies.
"Pretend?"
"That I'm Uther's loving ward when I hate him," Morgana says, her tone full of venom. The amount of hatred in Morgana's tone shocks Amelia.
"What about you Amelia?" Morgause asks worriedly.
"His actions have been despicable," Amelia replies. She doesn't respond with the same strength as Morgana as she is still curious about what Morgause has to say.
Morgause walks around them, causing the two of them to turn. "Have you ever imagined a new world, Morgana, Amelia? One where Uther was no more?"
"Sometimes," Amelia replies. Of course, she had but she's unsure because of all she has done with Merlin and Anne, keeping Uther alive until Arthur is ready, which isn't yet despite her anger at Uther.
"And is that what both of you would like?"
"I once had the chance to be his assassin," Morgana admits instead. Amelia feels the anger build up inside her as she is reminded of the memory of Gwen's father's murder.
"And what stopped you?" Morgause asks curiously.
"I don't know. I believed he cared for me. But not anymore. He cares for no one."
"So, you want Uther destroyed and his reign to end?"
"Perhaps," Amelia replies. The whole conversation is making her nervous. "But it doesn't matter what we want. The future's not of our making." She is trying to waylay Morgause a bit.
