 Morgana's concious mind returned to her in a slow haze as her eyes opened; details flittering about inside her skull, trying to fit themselves together into a puzzle that was so far making very little sense to the young woman. For one thing, she had a blistering headache. Like someone had taken to her head with a candlestick and had been none too gentle about it. If Arthur had done something to her, she was going to lock him in the armory. Again. On the heels of that thought was pain as she tried to recall where Arthur was supposed to be this time of day. Training with the knights? Perhaps...
Glancing up from her seat and finally taking stock of her surroundings, Morgana suddenly realised something was very, very wrong. Those men by the doors wore colours she didn't recognise. Black and red.... a red tree.... They weren't Camelot's colours. Yet as she examined the room, she recognised it. Uther's throne and meeting chamber. Unconciously, her hands gripped the armrests beneath them and her eyes darted around.
Had Camelot fallen to an attack? And if so, why the hell couldn't she remember it?
Another thing then came to Morgana's attention as she shifted her head. Her head felt heavy, like their was a weight upon it. Remarkable wasnt it how a persons mind would only allow them to digest certain things at a time rather than overload the senses... Perhaps if her mind wasnt so cautious she'd have realised she wore a crown the moment her eyes had opened. Still as a statue she sat, letting these revelations sink in.
Where was Arthur? And Uther? And Gwen? Swallowing, Morgana stood from what she realised in horror was the throne, and swept towards the doors. She had to find somebody who could tell her what was going on...
"Your majesty?" Morgana's heart froze in her chest when one of the guards spoke up. They were clearly addressing her. What did she say? Oh god she couldnt think! Turning hesitantly, she prayed her face remained schooled and she called on every lesson she'd ever recieved and focused on the guard. She didnt recognise him. Where were Camelot's guards, the faces she had grown up seeing? Another wave of panic swept over her.
"Yes?" she replied, keeping her gaze and voice steady.
"Are you alright?"
Was she that transparent? Majesty.... Queen.... crown.... oh god! They thought she was Queen? Summoning up what she could of her nerve, she looked the man in the eye. She had to keep up whatever pretense they had going for now until she could get her bearings.
"I am fine. I will be returning to my chambers now," Morgana said head held high. That was it. Bluff. It might keep her alive for now. "Make sure I am not disturbed," she added a moment later. The man inclined his head in acknowledgement before Morgana got out of the throne room as quickly as she could. Her feet took her swiftly to her chambers where she entered and shut the door behind her. Making sure to lock it, she lent against the wood and pulled the crown from her head.
Queen Ygraine's crown.
She hadn't seen this since she was a child.
Lost as she was in her thoughts and her mind as it tried to piece everything together, Morgana failed to notice she wasn't in fact alone in her chambers.

Gwen stared at the unmade bed and was unable to move for a few long moment. It seemed forever and a day ago that getting up and running to work so she could spend the day talking with her best friend. Now she had to force her self to do everything, and do her best to keep a smile on her face. Inside, she was dying.
Where was Arthur? Was he safe? Was Merlin alright? So many questions and she was growing more and more afraid that she would never know the answers. Gwen wasn't sure why Morgana had chosen to keep her alive, or to tell her who to stay alive. Did Morgana really think that Gwen was loyal to her after everything she had done? Could she really not know that everything Gwen was; mind, body and soul held loyalty only to Arthur. Not Uther, not Morgause and not this new Morgana Pendragon. She missed her friend! She missed her bold kindness, not this monster that killed random people in the square.
When Gwen heard the door open she jumped slightly and moved quickly to start making it neat, not caring enough to change the sheets. At lest not every day. Every third day maybe . . . or every fourth. . . . . Fine, every other day!
Gwen didn't look up at Morgana, knowing it was her but surprised she was here in the middle of the day. She didn't speak and she behaved the same way she had behaved around Uther for years. Lips sealed, head down and trying to blend in with the back ground.

Morgana was still looking at the crown in her hands, a litany of expressions trailing over her face and through her mind. Confusion was the foremost one though. What the hell was going on? She needed to figure this out, and soon before somebody wanted her to do something. Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm her racing thoughts and her thumping heart. Alright. Just as she was about to launch into figuring out, or attempting to figure out, this whole mess, shuffling caught her attention and she looked up, startled.
Through one of the open screens, she saw Guinevère making her bed. Guinevère! Thank the heavens above! She was alright.... at least, she looked alright. Unable to stop herself, Morgana hurried towards her friend, discarding the crown onto the table. She just.... she couldnt look at it right now. What she needed was her friend and her help. Swallowing, suddenly nervous, she placed her hand on Gwen's shoulder. She prayed her maidservant could tell her what was going on.
"Guinevère," she breathed her name on a sigh of relief. Finally a familiar face. She had to know where Arthur was. Where Uther and Merlin were too. Basically where everyone was and what had happened. Worry for everyone and everything was starting to eat at Morgana and the fractured flashes of images running through her mind weren't helping. Just snippets that she got a brief glimpse of before they were gone. It was going to drive her insane if she didnt sort it out.
"Where is everybody?"

When Gwen hear Morgana walking closer she did not look up nor offer a smile. It wasn't until Morgana put her hand on Gwen's shoulder that she even acknowledged that Morgana was in the room. She stiffened and turned to face the queen. "Yes, my lady?" Morgana didn't look angry or overly pleased with her self at the moment, which Gwen felt was off but she'd learned over the months of Morgana's lies and the short time of her reign that if Morgana was caring about anyone but her self of your sister then she wanted something. What more could Gwen give her?
"I do not know, my lady, shall I go find out for you?" By everyone, Gwen was assuming she meant Morgause. There would be no one else that Morgana cared for here. Gwen had often wondered why Morgana had sought her out and told her how to stay alive during the attack. Maybe Morgana didn't want her dead deep down, or maybe she just did not want to train another servant. Either way, Gwen wasn't sure she could believe it was from the friendship they once had. Morgana had tired to not only hurt her but Arthur as well. More then once on his part.

Morgana's first instinct when Guinevère replied to her words was that something seemed wrong. Her maid and friend seemed..... different. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. The second was protectiveness. She may not know what was going on, but she wasn't going to send Gwen out there into whatever that was unneccessarily! Those men still worried her. Camelot's colours would never have been removed unless the kingdom had fallen to an attack and had been taken over. Which would explain a lot, not finding anyone she knew, Arthur being missing, but at the same time, was contradicted by what she saw.
If they had been invaded, why make her Queen? She wasn't of royal blood, so she couldn't take the throne legitimately. Maybe they thought she would easier to control? Well if that was their reasoning, they were in for one hell of a shock.
And what about Arthur? Surely she'd expect that if the kingdom had been invaded, Gwen would have stood by the King and Prince and wouldn't have been allowed go free. Just as Merlin would have. And Gaius. Everyone she knew would have stood together.
Realising she hadn't replied to Gwen, she shook her head. "No, no. I dont think it's safe out there and I'd rather not put you in danger," she replied honestly, releasing her grip on her friend's shoulder and turning back to the table where the crown sat. "I'll have to find Arthur myself."
Suddenly a horrific thought hit her. If Arthur was dead....
Feeling unsteady, she sat down at the table and tried to calm her racing heart. She couldnt jump to conclusions. She needed information. She needed to figure out what was going on. Worry wouldn't help right now.

"No, no. I don't think it's safe out there and I'd rather not put you in danger," Since when, Guinevère wondered at Morgana's words. She remembered all to well Morgana's smile when she was being 'lead' away for being named a witch. "I'll have to find Arthur myself." . . . .
Guinevère felt better when Morgana let her go, but her whole body tensed and froze at her words. Arthur! No! Morgana could not find Arthur! Guinevère didn't know how to get word to him or find him but if she did she would not do it. What good would it do? She knew that unless she was careful she could lead them to him. "Your men have not found him thus far. Perhaps he has left the king, my lady." Guinevère told her to discourage the idea.
She didn't want Morgana looking for Arthur too hard. She didn't want him found. yes, she wanted to be in his arms again but she did not want it to be at risk of his life. If Morgana found him then she'd kill him.

Morgana nearly stumbled at Guinevère's reply and she all but shot up from her seat at the table. "M-My men?!" she exclaimed. How on Earth could Guinevère think those men belonged to her? Camelot had been invaded, that much was clear, but she was as much a prisoner in this as Gwen herself was! And the King... Uther must have been captured for he couldn't be dead. Not with the way Guinevère had spoken about him and her comment that Arthur must have left him.
Not that Arthur would ever abandon his father. They had their disagreements, but she doubted Arthur would leave the King to death here. "Regardless of what they have told you Guinevère, those men are not mine!" Morgana protested, picking up the crown from the table as anger sparked through her. Anger at her inability to remember what was happening, anger at the world for suddenly being so drastically different that she was lost in it.
"I wish I could remember..." she trailed off softly, holding the crown in her hands like it would unlock her memories for her if she looked at it long enough. Realising it wasnt helping, she set it aside once more and turned to Guinevère. "Start from the beginning and tell me what happened here Gwen."
