the next generation: keepers of Excalibur

Georgie's POV

I awoke to soft music playing in a familiar tune, it was 'somewhere only we know'. Softly I tiptoed out my bedroom and into the music room that conjoined. Sat playing the harp singing along as well was Gwen. she looked like she'd been crying for hours before I'd woken up. Quickly I ran on the balls of my feet across the marble floor to comfort her. sure I don't like hugging people but she looked like she needed to talk it out rather than cry into somebodies shoulder. as I walked up to her from behind I could hear her repetitively muttering "Why did you have to fucking provoke him, Artis?! You know better!" during the instrumental solo. 

"Hey, do you need to talk about it, Gwen? What's gone on whilst I've been dead to the world?" I asked concerned about both Gwen's sanity and Artis' safety. Gwen sighed then placed her head on my shoulder and started to explain the goings on of the past 2 days.

"And then Artis decided that it would be a good idea to piss off Agravaine and in the process pissed off Arthur enough that they are looking into our parentage to determine if we are all allowed to stay anymore." Again Gwen sighed but unlike last time this was in frustration. We'd only just arrived and already they wanted to kick us out! Just as I was about to respond the man who had silently told the weird boy to stop hurting me walked in. Suddenly I saw Gwen bow so I followed suit.

"No need for pleasantries Gwen, Georgie. I merely came here to tell you that there is a meeting now to determine your fates as all the results have come back as to who your parents are." stated the man, who I presume was Arthur, before walking out, Gwen following close behind. 'Leave me alone in a room in a place I don't know why don't you?!' I thought to myself running after Gwen towards a large set of doors. She had stopped just outside them as if she was wondering if she dared to go in. However, before she could back out of her decision to stay I felt the two arms of a taller blonde man push us through the door. 'Fucking hell! I thought Gwen was tall! he's like a fucking T-rex in comparison to Gwen's brachiosaurus.' As we were pushed through the centre of the crowd I noticed Artis, Emmy, Lucy and Galia already at the front laughing at us. When we got to the front Gwen hugged Emmy and thanked her for getting her idiot out of jail and tapped Artis upside the head in frustration at their idiocy in getting there in the first place. 

"Lords and Ladies of Camelot," Arthur started grabbing the attention of all the nobility in the room as well as Merlin, who had come as what I can only assume is moral support. under her breath, I could just about hear Gwen say "and non-binary people!" But Arthur mustn't have heard her as he continued with "It is with a heavy heart I must call this council today to discuss whether these 6 people can remain in Camelot or not after one of them has insulted somebody very high up in my council, my uncle Agravaine. so in light of this, we have used Merlin's magic to trace back your family trees to see why the druids demanded you be brought here." Calmly Arthur picked up the letters behind him to see who our parents were. First was Lucy. "Lucia Azrael Winchester. Date of birth 24th December 2002. Parents: Mary and John Winchester. Ancestor: Lancelot du Lac. You're fine to stay!" next name to be picked up was mine. "Georgina Mordriana Phoenix. Date of birth 23rd of October 2001. Parents: Mordred..." Arthur stood gawking at the piece of paper then threw it away and moved on to the next envelope which contained both Galia and Emmy's names. "Emrysa Alexandra and Galia Bethany Ambrosius. Date of birth 6th of February 2002. Parents: Hugo and Baila Ambrosius. Ancestor:...." Arthur looked shocked at the piece of paper before declaring "Merlin" Suddenly it was just down to Artis and Gwen. they were now the deciding factors of if we stay or go. Quickly Arthur picked up the Envelope that contained Gwen's full name and got straight to her Parents, "Parents: Arthur and Guinevere Pendragon." as he threw this one to the side too he repeated the process with Artis' envelope. I sat gawping at the words that left his mouth "Parents: Lilian Ealdor and Uther Pendragon." This was not how I thought this meeting would play out! Suddenly everyone except Gwen, Lucy, Artis, Galia, Emmy and myself were dismissed by Arthur. Once we were alone with Arthur he asked us various questions such as 'did we know who we were before this?' and 'Is this a trick?'  sadly neither was true and I was dismissed along with Galia and Lucy so that Arthur could talk privately to Artis, Gwen and Emmy. Hurriedly I marched up the stairs back to my room so that I didn't know any more than I should.

Gwen's POV:

When Galia, Georgie and Lucy were out of the main hall I turned back to Arthur. He looked scared and almost unsure of how to process that his daughter and half-sibling were stood right in front of him and didn't even know they existed until today. Arthur pointed at me and exclaimed "But you can't exist. Gwen and I haven't even decided to have children yet. How can you exist?" I looked him dead in the eyes and sighed before turning towards Merlin who had just walked in from the door to the left-hand side of the throne."I don't know," I stated crossing my arms "But my best guess is that for me to exist in this world you must send your first born daughter to live in the world I come from on exactly the 8th of September 2001." Arthur nodded in agreement with my theory and pulled me and Artis into a hug before saying "I didn't know you existed until today but I'm going to make the most of the time we still have together. oh and by the way, I had Merlin take the liberty to move you both into the rooms next to mine on either side, so you better both go and find them." and with that, Artis and I ran out to go and find our rooms again since we had just moved AGAIN!
