Teaser

Ira stumbled along the path, it took all her strength to deep upright and moving. The wind blew mercilessly through the unprotected path chilling her to the bone, the old cotton dress doing nothing to keep the warmth in. Only one thought kept her from collapsing on to the ground; I must get to Camelot to get help for my village. She did know one person from Camelot and although she had not seen him in many years he hoped he would be willing to help her.

A few moments later she reached the edge of a tree line where a large castle of stone stood. Ira's muscles screamed in protest as she quickened her pace. When she reached the stone bridge she fell to her knees but felt no pain through the numbness. She heard the guards yelling something to her but she couldn't make out what they were saying. She pushed herself up and took a few more uncertain steps forward before her legs failed completely. She collapsed onto the stone no longer having the strength to move. As dark spots danced across her vision she saw a man approach her; a knight of Camelot. As he knelt close to her she gathered the strength to whisper just a few words.

"I come from the village of Curksmen…we were attacked during the night two days ago." Her voice hoarse from not being used.

The knight seemed surprised but quickly regained himself.

"I need you to tell me who did this." the knight said calmly.

Ira was already fading from consciousness but she forced her lips to form one final word.

"Sorcerers."

Hope you guys liked the teaser, hopefully I'll have the next chapter up tonight or tomorrow! Let me know what you think!

P.S. I don't own Merlin (as if you thought I did)
