Athena closed all her doors and windows, then sang her lullaby. Her hair becomes golden as she search her mind for the poison and cure. She becomes invisible and sneak out of her room.

She stops at the court physicians, he was inside with merlin they were discussing about the Queen's illness.

"I think it is poison ivy, it is very rare and it can kill anyone within three days",Gaius said. "The queen have barely a day",merlin said.  "Poison ivy can only be found on the mount Avalon", Gaius said.

"But the king have forbidden everyone from leaving the palace",he said. Athena smile,she have gotten all the informations she needs. She skipped out and ran out.

On getting to the gates guards were every. Muttering a spell, she climbs the wall of the gate. She barely made it out without an injury on her hand. Athena ignored the pain and kept running, She ran out the village, out the kingdom walls. She only stopped once to catch her breath before she continued again. Athena stopped at the peak of the mountain. She knelt near a big rock and fell asleep.

By the time Athena woke up in the morning it was already mid afternoon. She jerks up and tries to remember where she was.

She looked around, the place looks like a cave, there was fire burning, crystals from the fall to the cave top. She looked back when she saw a little girl figure. "Who are you?",Athena asked.

The girl stop what she was doing and smile at Athena. "You are finally awake!",she replied.

"How did I get here?",Athena asked looking at the girl suspiciously.  "I brought you here myself, you fell asleep on the rock. I had to bring you here because of wild animals",the girl explained.

Athena nodded and shook her head, "who are you?", she asked the girl sitting in front of her with a plate of food. "I'll explain while you eat",the girl replied. Athena collected the plate and started eating immediately.

"Am Minho, your protector. I was sent by the goddess Athena herself",Minho explained. "Why are you a child?",Athena asked. "Because that is the only way I can get your attention",Minho replied. Athena nods.

"I know why you came here, you want the poison ivy",Minho said. Athena stands up. "How will you know?",she asked confuse.

"Because I listen to your heart, and I know what you know",Minho replied.  Athena nodded and smile. Minho stands up and go outside. Athena quickly look around.

"Here",Minho said producing the ivy. Athena thanked her and keeps it. "Have this",Minho says again.  This time she gave Athena a blue glowing necklace. "It can take you anywhere all you have to do is say where you want to be. And you can always see me anytime you want",Minho said.

Athena nodded and smile. She thanked Minho for the necklace and wore it round her neck. She was about to leave when Minho stopped her.

"Don't push him away",Minho said. Athena nod and smile. Wait what does Minho means? She turns back, all the cave and everything is gone. There was no Minho, no cave nothing. Athena sigh and clutch the necklace tight. She wished she was in Camelot.

Athena opened her eyes and smile, she was in Camelot again. She thanked the gods and Minho then started running back to the palace.

Athena was stopped by guards. "You are under arrest by the order of the king",a guard said. Athena couldn't believe her ears. She have been arrested for trying to save the Queen's and her maid life? Really??

She didn't protest as they led her chambers. The guards pushed the doors and let Athena walk in. Athena entered her room and sank on her bed. By morning celyn will be dead and she will be alone.

Morgana and Arthur were inside his room. Since Gwen announced her missing. He have been specially worried. I mean she was his wife, the future queen. How will he cope if anything happens to her.

Morgana gave been trying to explain to Arthur that Athena is safe but Arthur is not listening. He have been pacing the room. Even merlin can't make him stop worrying.

Gwen burst into the room, "princess Athena is back!",she announced. Arthur gave a loud sigh of relief. "See Arthur, I told you she will be fine",Morgana said smiling.

"But she is under arrest orders of the king. No one is to see her",Gwen said. Arthur have had enough. He needs to see Athena with his own eyes before he is sure she is alive or even safe.

Arthur came to a halt in front of Athena's room. Five guards stood at the Door. They stopped him from entering.

"Move",he orders. "My prince the king said no one should be allowed in",a guard said.

"I am not anyone, am her husband. So move!!",he shouted. The guards bow their head and move aside. Arthur opens the door and enters.

Athena laid on her bed tears rolling down her eyes. She jerks up when she heard the door open. She had to stop herself from hissing when she saw Arthur enter. She sat up and look away.

"What do you want?",She asked without looking at him. Judging from her looks Arthur could tell she have been crying. He had to stop every ounce in him not to hug her.  "Where have you been? The whole kingdom was worried",Arthur asked.

Athena silently hissed and looked away. "I went to look for a cure for your mother",she says.  "You what?",he ask surprise.

"I was looking for a cure",she said. "You should have asked for help, what if something happened to you?".

" well am fine!! I found the cure, and beside I did come to you",she said. "All you asked me to do was talk to my father not help you find a cure!",he corrected.  Athena mockingly laughed, "I don't need you to come in here and start yelling at me for not being careful. Its not like you care about me. So please just take the cure and leave!!", Athena shouted. The last thing she wants is Arthur saying she is too careless. She expected him to hold her and tell her he cares and  was worried not the whole kingdom.

"Listen Arthur, the last thing I want is to be yelled at, I risked my life just so your mother can be saved. And you are welcome!!",she stated.

"Thank you",Arthur said and walked away with the flower. Outside he sigh, the last thing he wants is to hurt her feeling and guess what? That is exactly what he did......
