To many that practiced the sacred art of magick, the festival of Beltane held a special significance. Falling between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice, Beltane was a festival of Fire and Fertility, in all its forms.

3.40 – Metamorphosis
Morgana’s maidservant did not make it three steps into her mistress’s chambers before being tackled head-on by its occupant. “Guinevere!” She clearly hadn’t been expecting that. The girl let out a surprised gasp as the sudden impact almost made her fall over. She tried taking a step back and untangle herself, but the sorceress wrappedContinue reading “3.40 – Metamorphosis”
3.39 – Who you Want to Be
Disclaimer: Awful. Sort of. – Lancelot du Lac had a terrible feeling. Over the years, the would-be knight had learnt to trust the strange, inexplicable instincts that Nimueh’s misaligned gifts had brought him. He’d always been able to see the truth. Lancelot could tell when a confrontation was about to become hostile. He knew whenContinue reading “3.39 – Who you Want to Be”

3.38 – Call of the Void
Disclaimer: Awful. I don’t use this term lightly. The market of Camelot had always been a bustling place. Craftsmen, bakers and artisans from all over the city gathered in the market square to promote their wares. Even on quiet days, the place drew quite a crowd. Yelling voices mingled with the scent of freshly bakedContinue reading “3.38 – Call of the Void”
3.37 – Shatter
Author’s note: Lots and lots of anger. And snowballing. And snowballing anger. 😐 “What do you mean, no?!” One of the guards coughed, awkwardly averting his gaze as he looked absolutely everywhere but at the middle of the throne room. The Iron King seemed completely unfazed by Morgana’s outburst. With a cold expression, Uther staredContinue reading “3.37 – Shatter”
3.36 – Wedge
In the end, Morgana broke her promise. She did not return home before daybreak. She didn’t even come close.
