Arthur’s  POV
 My father threw me in the dungeons before I could get the roots to Gaius. “Father please just get this to Gaius! You can keep me in here for as long as you want! Jus please get this to Gaius!” He took the flowers and crushed them in his hand and dropped them. An hour had passed and I was finally able to grab them before they could be damaged.
 More time had passed when I seen gwen come down with bread. I knew she was coming for the flower, so I played it off like I was going to inspect the food. I gave her the flowers and she put them in her dress pockets and left. ‘Hopefully she gets it in time.’
Gaius’ POV
 Gwen rn in with the flowers in hand and handed me them. “Quickly go get water.” Gwen ran to grab some. I turned to Merlin and he knew he needed to help me with the spell. We did the spell and Gwen returned with water. We quickly walked over to Willow and I had Merlin hold open her mouth as we poured the antidote down her throat. We waited a few and she stopped breathing. “Oh my god!” Gwen hugged Merlin while both cried. “We didn’t make it in time.” We all looked down in mourning. “Why are you all crying? Someone die?” Our heads shot up quickly. “We thought you died! Don’t ever do that again!” Merlin exclaimed hugging her. “You scared me so much.” She smiled and hugged back. “Now I couldn’t let our once and future king die could I?” Merlin just smiled back and released her. “Get some sleep. You have a certain someone to thank tomorrow when he’s released.” She nodded and layed down like I instructed.
The next morning
Willow’s POV
 I woke up awhile ago to the smell of food. “Here Willow you need to eat.” I smiled at Merlin as he sat the food down in front of me. “Thank you Merl. I appreciate the food.” I begun to eat when Arthur walked in. I finished chewing and wiping my face to smile at him. “Thank you Arthur. I would have died if you didn’t get that flower.” I got up and hugged him as a thank you. “I owe you my life now.” He just smiled and hugged me back. “I would do it again if I had too. Just for you though.” I laughed and sat back down. “I feel honored that you would do all of this again.” I would kiss him if e wasn’t a royal, but sadly he is. ‘Oh I totally forgot! I need to speak to King Uther!’ “Arthur can you do me a favor?” He nodded his head as a way of saying yes. “Can you help walk me to your father and stay with me so I don’t fall?” “I will gladly help you but may I ask why?” I pulled the piece of paper with my family history on it out. “I found out who my real parents were the day you threw me in the dungeons.” He looked a little guilty even though  it doesn’t bother me anymore. “Come let’s go. I’m sure my father would love to reunite you with your parents.” With that we walked to the throne room. “Father, Willow wishes to speak with you.” He motioned for me to speak. “Sire, I believe I have found out who my family is but I do not want to make an accusation without meeting him first.” He pondered for a minute. “And who do you think your father is?” I took a deep breath in and spoke loudly. “I believe my father is Alac Armon.” He chuckled. “Why do you think that Willow?” “I have proof that he could be my father for my name is Willow Nyx Armon.” He nodded and spoke. “I shall send him a letter saying I may have found his daughter. Thank you for saving my son. I appreciate your bravery.” I bowed and thanked him. I didn’t just thank him for his appreciation but for sending a letter to King Alac. I had Arthur help me back to my room. “Thank you Arthur, for everything.” “What do you mean everything?” “Being there for me. Saving me even though you don’t have to do that. Even just helping me here. Thank you.” I had walked farther into my room to my bed and fell asleep. ‘I’ve had along few days, I’m tired.’
Arthur’s POV
 I think I'm falling for her. If shes right and shes a royal, I could court her. If she isn't I'll have to ignore my feelings. ‘She would be the perfect queen for Camelot. She can fight, she gets along with everything and shes beautiful. Shes smart and kind. She's just perfect. I hope father writes very soon so he can come here and claim her as his child.’ She thanked me when I dropped her at her room and before I could tell her that she was welcome, she fell asleep. God she's been through so much, but that's what makes her brave. I walked to my room and picked up a book and started to read, hoping that it would take my mind off of her. Recently she's the only thing I can think about.
Uther's POV
 I started on the letter to Alac.
     ‘Dear King Alac Armon,
         I have come to believe that I have found your long lost daughter. She wishes to meet you to confirm that she is indeed yours. Please write back with when you would like to meet her.
                              -King Uther of Camelot’
 ‘I hope this girl is not waiting our time. I do not need another enemy out of another kingdom.’ I wax sealed it and called in my messenger. “Take this to King Alac Armon of Alvorian.” He bowed and took the note and ran off. ‘What I do for my people will always surprise me.’
