The Tears of Uther Pendragon Part 1

I looked out the window and played with the necklace around my neck as I waited for Arthur and Merlin to come home. Many men had died on Uther's quest to find Morgana. Yes, I was worried for her, but knowing the relationship between the two women I wasn't nearly as worried as the others. I saw the men who went with Arthur and Merlin come back into the gates and smiled before gasping in shock.

"My Lady? What is it?" A servant asked me.

"They found her..." I told her. "Morgana. They found Morgana. Call for Gaius, send him to Morgana's chambers." I quickly ran to her chambers and arrived just as they brought Morgana in. Gaius arrived a short time after and we waited for him to look at her.

"You need to rest." Gaius told her.

"I'll stay with her." Gwen told him and he nodded.

"Call me when she wakes, Guinevere." Gaius said before leaving. I gave her a quick hug.

"I'm glad your back Morgana." I then left to spend time with Arthur.

"How is she?" Arthur asked me when I stepped inside our room.

"She'll be fine." I told him.

"There's nothing wrong with her?" Arthur asked, worried.

"Nothing physical, but we don't know what she went through." I told him sitting on the bed. "She could have a lot more healing than Gaius can help with."

"I'm sure we'll help her through whatever it was." he said sitting next to me and wrapping his arms around my shoulders.

"I hope so." I said holding him close to me.

"You know what I just realized?" he asked me and I pulled away from him just enough to give him a confused look.

"What?" I asked.

"Well, I've been gone for a long time. And their are a few things I want before tomorrow." he told me.

"Like what?" I asked him.

"A bath. Where's Merlin when I need him?" he asked, acting like he was looking for my brother.

"A bath?" I asked him. "You've been away from home for that long and all you thought of was getting a bath?"

"Well, perhaps something else has crossed my mind." he told me smirking at me.

"Oh?" I asked.

"Just a few." he assured me.

"Like what?" I asked him.

"Like this." he said pulling me close to him and kissing me deeply. We parted when the need for air arose and I laid my head on his shoulder.

"Is that all?" I asked him.

"Not at all." he told me and he kissed me again, falling back onto the bed.

"I was kept in a cell for almost a year. I thought I'd go mad." Morgana told Arthur and I as we all sat in her room the next day.

"How did you escape?" I asked her.

"They moved me about a week ago. I don't know why. It may have been the patrol from Camelot." Morgana told him.

"The patrol found you?" Arthur asked her.

"I thought I was gonna be free. But then I saw them killed. Every one of them cut down. But that night, the bandits were distracted by their spoils. I took my chance. When I saw you, I couldn't believe it." Morgana said happily, before hugging Arthur tightly. She let go of him and hugged me and looking back at Arthur. "I think I need to rest."
