In Medieval England....

Camelot is under siege by an army of demons, commanded by the King's half sister: the sorceress Morgaine Le Fay and her son Mordred.

The army released catapults at the castle's walls weakening its defence and defeating any archers on the wall.

The demons used towers to gain access over the castle's walls.

Mordred ask his mother. "When do I get my kingdom, mother?"

"Soon, my son." Morgaine answered as her amulet grew in a green flame. "Very soon."

The demons were using a large battering ram to destroy the gates, two knights were protecting the gates.

Until a masked knight runs in and with a message. "The king needs you on the south tower."

"But the gates?" One of the knights questioned.

The masked knight told him. "I'll stay and guard them. Hurry!"

As the two knights head off to the south tower, the masked knight takes off his helmet, revealing a man with slick dark red hair.

He heads towards the gates and moves the large wooden bar of the gates, allowing the demons to enter the castle.

As the demons march into the castle, the knight sees who he was really opening the door for.

"Did Arthur think mere walls could keep us apart?" Morgaine asked the knight rhetorically.

"Morgaine, my love." The knight says as she walks over to him. "Your beauty has possessed me. I have longed to hold you to feel you in my arms again."

"I, too, have dreamt of this moment." Morgaine replied before her lips met him. But suddenly, he felt a sharp pierce on his lips.

He holds his mouth as a strange purple starts spreading through his veins, he collapses on his knees as he holds his throat in pain from the poison.

"But...why?" The knight asked confused at why the woman he sacrificed so much for.

"For love, of course. The love of my son. Camelot's new ruler." The sorceress says before walking past her former lover, leaving him to die.

The knights run down to see that one of their own had turned and open the gate for the demons.

"We are betrayed!"

"For Arthur, for Camalot!" One of the knights say as they charge towards the army.

The traitor could watch and die as those will be the last words he heard.

As the knight's spirt is released from his body, he hears for ask him.

"Art thou satisfied, villain?"

The knight looks up to see the king's wizard, Merlin walk up to him in spirt form.

"By base treachery, Camalot will fall this day."
