What if after the death of Arthur, Mithian's father Rodor also dies?
Mithian is now ruler of Nemeth but wishes more than anything to escape the city and deal with her grief on her own. On a chance release from court, Mithian takes a ride into the woods, only to stumble up on a familiar face.
It seems Mithian is not the only one dealing with grief.
It still felt strange to her, when she woke in the morning and remembered ... Remembered that she was no longer princess but Queen ... Remembered she was no longer daughter but orphan. Her father had only died a month previous but the pain, the grief, the incomprehensibility of it all still made her cold, still brought tears to her eyes.
She couldn't handle it any more. And praying her father wasn't watching - she ran. She escaped the city just after dawn. Needing somewhere to breath, somewhere to cope with her grief on her own. To just be away from it all, if only for a little time. Nemeth would care for itself, she reasoned.
The golds and yellows of Autumn flashed past in a whirlwind as she rode harder and faster through the forest. She tricked herself into believing that the wind would blow her worries away. That if she rode fast enough, she could leave her grief behind.
The Autumn colours were far to bright, she thought, as she came to an abrupt halt at the Eastern border of Camelot. She remembered it was not just her kingdom suffering the loss of a King.
Arthur, her friend, the brave one, the strong one - was now gone.
"Why do people die?" Mithian had once asked her father.
Rodor had not replied for some time before he said,"I don't think they really die. For as long as we hold on to their memory, they are alive in us."
Mithian rode slower now, her gaze trailing over the trees and up at the sky until she rode into a small clearing and there, in the center, sitting on a small rock, was someone Mithian had really not expected to see.
"Merlin?"
