Chapter 1

Morgana burst through the doors of the throne room.

"Morgause!" She screamed. She looked at Gaius who stood not far from her, her eyes drifting to a hurt Lancelot, and finally to Merlin, who stood with a sword in hand next to the now empty Cup of Life, its contents staining the floor red.

"NO!" She screamed. Their plan was ruined.

"NO!" Morgause was dead.

"NO!" Merlin, Gaius, and Lancelot were running out of the now collapsing room.

"NO!"

She sat crying over her sister's body in the forest where they would always meet. This is where they would plan, where everything was decided. This was where everything began. But now it was over. Morgause was dead, Merlin had thwarted their plans, and everyone knew she was a traitor. There was no going back now. And in that moment she let out another scream of pain, which echoed throughout the forest.

Morgana lay, curled up on the forest grounds, lost. She didn't know what to do, or where to go. She had gained everything, and now she had lost it all.

"Morgana." She heard her voice and sat up looking around.

"Who's there?" She commanded, her voice shaking.

From behind a tree a young boy stepped forward.

"Hello Morgana." He said, without opening his mouth.

For the first time in the days since her sister died, Morgana smiled.

"Mordred!"
