Ariana was scared and she had every right to be. Today was the day she and her elder sister, Morgana, were to move in to King Uther's castle. She's had magic for as long as she could remember.

Just because she was the king's ward doesn't mean he wouldn't execute her. As a six year old growing up in Camelot, she couldn't help but wonder if the rumors were true. Is magic really evil?

The  blue eyed girl shook her head. No. People are just afraid of different, Ariana tells herself. It's something she feels she must tell herself.

After all, she didn't want to overthrow the kingdom. She just wants to be...herself. Magic and all. Was that too much to ask?
