On the outskirts of the village that surrounds Camelot, a girl resides.

She had for only a few years - mostly keeping to herself as Gaius' apprentice, and as she is the one closest to the forest that surrounded the citadel, it is usually she that was left to bury the bodies of those that were executed. It is usually she that is left to bury the traitors, thieves, witches, wizards and sorcerers.

She is a walking contradiction. Many men claim her to be beautiful - yet she covers her face with cloth, only her eyes visible - one lacking pigment, resulting in a reddish hue, and the other white, clouded, blind. Being the court physicians apprentice is a position of utmost respect, and yet the responsibility of burying monsters usually falls to servants and those of the lowest class.

Most don't even know her name, and have never even heard her utter a single word.

But then, a very old, and very close friend arrives in Camelot. Someone she had to leave behind - someone that she once loved as if he were her own flesh and blood. And as secrets start to unravel about herself, her past and her destiny, she finds herself in a position - having to choose between a quite life or one of danger, death and magic.

One holds the truth, one holds a lie.

But one things for sure; by the end of this story, no one will forget her name again.
