A Warrior's Heart ( A Merlin fanfiction )

"You also have to save Princess Mithian. Her maidservant is enchanting her to enchant the whole kingdom. All of you must stop her before she stops you." Gauis explained.

I quickly change out of the gown I wore to the ball into a chainmail uniform, buckled my sword belt around my hips, and slipped on a pair of boots.

I started for the door with Merlin and Gwen behind me. "Remember, two days!" Gauis calls just as Merlin slams the door shut.

The three of us sped-walked down the corridors, around Camelot, as we were passed by knights who were also running around, kicking down doors, demanding a search inside the chambers.

The great bell of Camelot kept chiming as they continued their search throughout Camelot. I kicked down the doors of Mithian's chambers as I unsheathed my sword.

My eyes widened when I saw a familiar face I never thought I would have seen.

Morgana.

I thought I have killed her! Using my gifted sword from Merlin! How is that even possible that she is alive? I clenched my teeth, if Morgana is back, it means trouble.

I gripped the hilt of my sword tightly, "Morgana! What are you doing here?" I demanded. I narrowed my eyes at her when she pulls Mithian and grabs a blade sharp enough to slit across the princess's throat.

Morgana smirks, "Surprised to see me again? Don't you miss me?" She cooes. She tightens her grip on the blade, the point pressing against Mithian's throat.

"Release the princess," I ordered. "I don't know how you get there, but you will never get your way!" My voice echoed throughout the chamber.

"I will, and I already have." Morgana snarled, "I've heard you have lost your beloved memory. Does that mean that you forgot everything that happened between you and Sir Leon?"

I kept quiet for the moment, but firm. "You don't know a single thing between us." I snapped, narrowing my eyes at her, and keeping my sword aimed at her, but from a distance.

"I do, of course," Morgana threw her head back and laughed, "You don't know all I've been doing is to get Mithian ruin your relationship. She doesn't know a single thing about you and Leon, and she wants to make the both of you break up."

Mithian tried to shrug out of Morgana's grasp, whining, and fiddling all the way, "No! It's not true! I don't want to ruin your relationship. She placed a spell on me." She yelled.

"Shut up, you twat!" Morgana spat.

I shot a glance at Mithian. I may hate Mithian, but Morgana will never get away with this. I have to save this annoying little princess who does not know a single thing on how to defend herself.

"It's over, Morgana." I said, "You will never get out of Camelot alive." I told her, just as the knights of Camelot came rushing in. But they were thwarted by Morgana's magic.

Morgana's face lit up when Arthur came rushing in, "Ah, long time no see, brother. Shall I tell you I am about to kill your beloved princess?"

My eyes widened just as the sun came up, this is my last day. I was even drawn back when she disappeared in a cloud of tornado, and Mithian fell on her knees, breathing heavily.

I immediately rushed towards the Princess, making sure she is alright, "Hey, are you alright?" I asked, dropping my sword on the ground and shaking her arm lightly.

Mithian nodded weakly, "I am fine now, thank you. You saved my life." She answered.
"Tell us everything." I told her.

She shook her head, "No, I know you do not have much time. You must find a cure. You must drink it. This is your last chance to survive."

I never knew Mithian would care if I survived or not. She is just a self-absorbed princess for all I know. "You are more important to me than myself. Please, stand up." I begged silently, making sure the others do not hear since they are busy making sure the rest of the knights are alright.

"I'm fine, Captain," she whispers, coughing a little, "Journey to the western borders. Morgana did this. I saw her mix up this poison to put in your cup. She wants me to take the blame."

I shook her arm lightly, "No you are not. I will take you to Gauis to tend to your wounds." I protested silently.

"I do not have much time as much as you do, Aurora. You may not like me, but you will do as I say. The western borders have pure water banks. They can help you revive from the poison, and restore your memory." She urged through clenched teeth.

I looked at her with worried eyes, "Princess!" I exclaimed as she collapsed lightly in my arms, her eyes closing.
