For the Love of Camelot

[bit_of_a_clotpole]

The news is everywhere, the castle is full of whispers and knights hurrying to prepare themselves in time.

In amongst all the hustle and bustle and rather forgotten is Prince Arthur.

He has had heard all the frightened whispers and knows what they're about. A war is possibly coming, one with Mercia a kingdom more than twice Camelot’s size. It could be the end of life as Arthur knows it.

But far be it for the young Prince to sit idle, Father had refused to discuss the possibility of war and Arthur had only just been made a squire.

Arthur wasn't going to let that stop him. If Camelot and her people were in danger Arthur would fight to protect them.

Which is why he's preparing to leave, belting his sword around his waist and wondering how to sneak out of the Castle.

Morgana has had enough of war. It's how she lost her father, both in time and spirit. It's what brought her here, a place she still doesn't want to be.

Morgana's been very keen at listening to all the rumours of war. At one point, Uther had to banish her to her chambers, to stop her from trying to sit in at one of the council's meetings. Not that she listened, which resulted in a very, very, very unhappy guard having to carry her, kicking and screaming and scratching, all the way back to her room.

Only now, after two days, has she been let out, and has made a beeline to Arthur's chambers.

Taking one look at what he's doing, she all but shouts, "You're not going!"
