Morning dew still clung to the rose buds in the castle gardens. The spring time was wonderous and Morgana had settled into her new life as King Uther's young ward. Sure, it had taken her a year but today she woke at the crack of dawn and crept past her sleeping chambermaid to watch the roses open their petals to this new day's sun beams. Her stomach grumbled gently, not protesting its emptiness but nevertheless reminding the preadolescent that her growing body required sustainance. Morgana patted it gently and continued skipping along the garden path, running her pale little finger tips along the wet petals of the roses. She paused for a second, in front of a particularly full of dew red rose and pondered a very very important life question: if she drank from the petals of a rose, would she be drinking rose water? Morgana grinned, having concluded that would indeed be the case, and put her lips up to the petals and... sucked.
In a second her eyes grew wide and her face contorted in the weirdest of fashions. Something was crawling around inside her mouth! Morgana spat the few droplets of dew out of her mouth with much gusto and flung herself back onto the grass, sure she would die from whatever creepy crawly she had just spat... no! Wait! She could feel it crawl between her upper lip and her two upper front teeth. She squealed and did what only came naturally at this point. Morgana smacked herself firmly on the mouth so hard she wouldn't've been surprised to have lost her front teeth. Worse still, she had effectively squished the beetle in her mouth and its bodily juices now oozed down her tongue.
didn't know what to do first, although small tears had started welling from the sheer pain of whacking herself in the face. She opened her mouth and stuck her tongue out, trying desperately to fight the urge to regurgitate. Quickly she wiped her tongue down the back of her sleeve and then preceeded to hook the beetle bits out from between her teeth and lip."Ew ew ew ew ew!!! Oh please let no one have seen that..." Morgana said with a quivering voice, almost positive, knowing her bad luck, that the whole court - including that handsome young prince Arthur, probably saw the whole thing. In that instant, Morgana wished the world would open up and swallow her whole. Of course it didn't and after what felt like a lifetime of waiting for it to (but in reality was merely ten seconds), Morgana stood up and wiped herself down. She was covered in grass and peat and looked like a common street kid, but she simply had to scamper off to the kitchens to get some sweet meat and ale. Her belly rumbled happily at the thought but the urgency only came from wanting to wash the putrid taste of beetle juice out of her mouth.
