Morgana forgave Uther, but she is no fool.
Tauren's amber stone rests in her jewelry box, carefully wrapped in her finest kerchief. At night, when Gwen has left for bed, she pulls it out and watches it glow, warm in her hands. Her eyes drift out the window to the chopping block, dull grey in the waning moon, and remembers the countless men and women she has seen die there.
"It won't happen to me," she murmurs.
Morgana falls asleep with it clutched in her hands. She dreams of the Druid boy, now a man, at her side and sees herself become a woman that makes her own destiny.
The bruises on her wrists fade, but she doesn't forget.
She will never be powerless again.
