chapter 11: the lost forest part IIII

Gwen is looking out the window of the throne room as she spots the familiar red flags on the far horizon, she smiles to herself in excitement. She has stop herself from jumping up and down due to her status as queen as there were some servants and the knights who stayed behind present. She looks ahead again and is reminded of the conversation she had with Gaius. Gaius walks into through the doors. Gwen smiles sweetly and rushes over to him engulfing him in a hug, she is happy that she can be herself around at least one person. " woah there child, you almost broke this old man here and why wouldn't want that now would we" Gaius says jokingly. Gwen just giggles and pulls away " you can be funny at times huh, I see merlin rubbed off of you" Gwen replies stifling her giggling as she straightens herself up getting back into her queen state."so why are you here Gaius?" Gwen says smiling." I just came to see how you are doing and it seems that you are still full of energy" Gaius replies returning the smile. " I very grateful for that but I am a big girl now, I have to take care of myself now" Gwen responds making a fist. Gaius chuckles slightly and nods his head as he agrees with her. he looks back up at her only to be taken back by the distress she is in as tears form in her eyes. she tackles him with a hug and whispers a "thank you for everything". Gaius can only return the hug. "well then court physician, I hope you will continue to aide us always be available when we need you" Gwen finishes gently as soon as she saw knights walking and some servants. Gauis laughs softly bows down and bids her a short farewell. He leaves the throne room without looking back. Gwen keeps a gentle smile on her face as she took a seat on the throne tending her daily duties. she gets out of her flashback by the sound of bells ringing signaling the arrival of the army and their king. Without a second thought she starts to race down through the halls down the towards the courtyard. She sees waves of red flashing through the gates, but she is looking for one particular man with blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. Gwaine is the first to dismount his horse and walks over to her with a solemn look on his face. Gwen looks at him through her worry filled eyes as dread fills the pit of her stomach. Gwaine opened but couldn't muster up the words to tell her, so he just shakes his head and looks down. A quiet "no" escapes her lips, she suddenly feels very lightheaded and nauseous. She shortly after falls unto her knees. " MILADY!" the knights yell in unison as Gwaine is the first to hold her. she holds unto him for her dear life and starts sobbing uncontrollably. They all could only bow their heads in shame for not protecting the king and for making the queen a possible widow.

" you are telling me not only is there is going to be a greater threat than morgana but I have to join forces with her too." Arthur says frustrated as he is waving his arms around like merlin usual does. The great dragon lets out a puff of air through his nose, he is tired of repeating himself now he could understand how Arthur never caught up with merlin being a warlock. "listen very well young king, you will have to walk a dangerous path and you will need to lay out your differences with your sister to form a path of victory. I need to go now for there is no much time. heed my warning young king , nothing as it seems" Khilgarrah says looking up at the sun noticing that it is setting. He steps closer to Arthur, Arthur backs down a bit. He still doesn't trust him completely after what he did who could blame him, he still wanted to exact revenge but he has no way of killing the dragon so he just went along with him. Now he is being told that he should forget about the little dispute he has with his sister. On top of that they have to work together to defeat a common enemy. He can't make sense of any of this. " why are you telling me this? And why now, you could have said something sooner then I.... I wouldn't have to fight her" Arthur argues. the dragon stays silent and looks up at the sky. Arthur realize something that he has completely forgotten with all that happened. "where is morgana?". Arthur asks sternly. "she is not with us" the dragon replies casually. Arthur eyes widen as he is starts to shake. " for now" the dragon adds and starts flapping his wings as he leaves a dust of wind behind. Arthur doesn't know how to react, he simply watches up ahead as the dragons figure gets smaller and smaller.
