Changing Destiny

Chapter 1 - The Boy

most of this is set during season five. I have three books in my head and I really wanted to start with a Mordred. I don't know how old he is in the TV show but for the sake of the story when the characters first meet Mordred is 12/13 and Alexandra is 11/12

the little girl ran into the great hall where her father and brother were talking. she came to a abrupt halt her dress and hair flowing behind her. both men turn to her. her brother softens at the sight of her. yet not her father.

"what is it Alexandra" her father asked irritated her eyes dropped to the ground she didn't like it when her father was irritated that meant she had to treat carefully.

"sorry to interrupt father I did not realise you were with Arthur" her voice was sad. Arthur made his way to Alexandra taking her hand bringing her closer.

"do not drop your eyes child you are a princess not a servant, where is Mary she is supposed to be looking after you" Uther scolded and she lifted up her gaze, to look at him.

"well that is why I'm here to ask if one of you would ride with me. I haven't had the pleasure in a while" she asked with hoped filled eyes her father shook her head.

"you will not be riding out until we have dealt with our problem. besides we are far too busy right now" her father replied leaving for the balcony.

"go back to you room Alexia I will be there shortly" tears threatened to spill but she nodded. Arthur kissed her head and she left

*Alexandra*

instead of heading back to my own chambers I went to see Morgana. as I walked through the halls everyone bowed or curtsied to me. you see I am Alexandra Pendragon Princess of Camelot. years 11 years after Queen Igraine's death Uther was forced to marry my mother. he cared for her but never loved her. a day after I was born my father caught mother using Magic on me and killed her. he thought she would raise me against him.

I knocked on the door and waited. Morgana opened then looked down, she smiled at me but I could sense worry.

"Alexandra what are you doing here?" she asked I sighed

"I was wondering if you were not busy doing something. I can't ride out because of this child sourcser in Camelot" I replied again feeling hope but yet again was shot down.

"I'm sorry Alexandra but I'm busy right now maybe later " I never gave a answer just turned away heading to the library. I entered the library and was greeted but the genealogist Geoffrey.

"good day your highness how may I help you" he bowed. I smiled at his kindness

"I wish to borrow some book if I may." he gestured letting me look around. I found some books of fairytales about how brave knights were. I headed back to my chambers and began to read. it was near dark when there was a knock on my door. Mary entered,

"My lady. your father has requested your presence at dinner" she informed me I got up from where I was lying and put down the book.

"thank you Mary" I looked in the mirror my dress was crinkled and my hair all over the place I tend to lose focus when I read.

"Mary I believe I should have a different dress could you pick one out for me please." she nodded and head to my wardrobe. I went to my vanity and began brushing my long curls even though I was Arthurs half sister I looked like a young girl version of him. long blond hair and blue eyes. after I finished preparing myself I went to dinner.

the doors opened. Morgana was already there  with my father. the both looked at me as I took my seat on the left hand side of my father.

"sorry for my lateness father" he nodded his head and Mary served me my food. I began to eat with the rest of them .

"your birthday is approaching is it not Alexandra" father questioned. I took some water and answered

"yes father six days hence. I shall be 12" I informed him. the doors opened before he could reply Arthur entered

"what news of the hunt for the druid boy" Father asked as Arthur stood on the other side from me.

"we have done a extensive search they boy is nowhere to be found" Arthur replied.

"you mean you failed to find him" Father retorted looking up at him

"perhaps he's already left the city" my brother suggested. father but his goblet on the table and sat up.

"you're telling me a wounded boy eve the guards and escaped the city. nonsense someone's hiding him, I want him found" he demanded.

"he's just a boy what harm can he do" I rolled my eyes they always get into squabbles

"he's a druid and dangerous" I took some more of my food it was times like this is was glad I was ignored.

"the druid would see your fathers kingdom destroyed" Morgana spoke for the first time since Arthur entered. Arthur looked at her.

"I had no idea you were such authority on druids" he snapped

"Arthur" I scolded

"Morgana is right. double your efforts" Arthur nodded

"yes father." he went to leave.

"keep searching until you find him." he added
