Lonely Gwen
After Gwen realized Arthur was truly gone Gwen took hold of Camelot as it's rightful ruler and was determined to make it a happy peaceful palce. On the outside she was a happy, confident Queen. But on the inside she was crumbling slowly with grief. Each night she was tortured with nightmares. Flickering in and out was Morgana, laughing evily with Arthur in chains. Gwen tugged at the chains every night but they did not break and just as Morgana had thrust a knife in Arthur's heart, Gwen always woke with Leon at her side, trying to clam her down. He was a loyal knight and every night stayed outside of Gwen's door. He was woken easily so the second she began to scream he would know it. Gwen always thanked him and after Leon had helped her the nightmares were not of Morgana but of Arthur, her beloved one. He screamed of betrayal and accused her of being with Leon. After Gwen defied him 3 times she woke up shivering and sweaty with her maid Lily standing assuringly beside her. It was a cycle. A horrifying cycle which Gwen detested. Merlin was gone. Arthur was gone. The Camelot she had always known was gone. But Gwen was strong. Camelot was a better place now. And it would be for Gwen was a just ruler, full of passion, kindness, and love. She ruled the happiest place on earth. But she wasn't happy. For she did not rule it with her beloved, The Once and Future King, Arthur Pendragon.
