***

After failing at separating Arthur and Gwen’s relationship nearly two years ago and learning from her mole in the castle Arthur’s plans to marry a servant and make her god forbid Queen, Morgana was seething. Once and for all, she had to stop that serving wench from taking her place on the throne. Then once she was out of the way, she could kill Arthur and be named Queen Morgana of Camelot.

Being the last high priestess afforded Morgana with much knowledge or access to finding someone who had the information she wanted to help her achieve her goals. Deep within a magical cave, Morgana was told, there is a little spring filled with water that gave the drinker the ability to turn back time and change events.

It did not take long for Morgana to find such a place and when she did, she knew how she would use it. She would turn back time; she would go back to when Lancelot first arrived in Camelot and change the course of his destiny. In hopes that by having Lancelot stay in Camelot, Arthur and Gwen would never fall for each other.

In some ways she was right. After a few months of settling in Camelot, Lancelot began courting Gwen and when Merlin’s mother Hunith came into Camelot asking for help as they were being attacked by Kanen and Uther refused, Lancelot went with them, along with the Prince, the Lady Morgana and Merlin.

Yet what Morgana never estimated was the true power of love, for despite her changing the course of certain events, one thing remained. The day before the final battle between them and Kanen, Gwen went to Arthur with food, first scolding him for disregarding the food and then telling him how much faith she had in him.

And then that night, Gwen and the whole village heard Prince Arthur’s rousing speech urging them to fight for their lives, their homes, for Ealdor and that was the day that Gwen and Arthur noticed each other, saw the goodness within each other.

For you see true love could never be stopped, it was the most powerful magic of all.
