Shanea Castle Ballroom, 1509
Queen Serephina rose from her throne, her expression serious as she beckoned the figure closer. "Speak."
The man stepped forward, his voice trembling slightly. "We have gotten word that King Arthur has been captured."
Queen Serephina's eyes widened in shock, a mix of concern and anger flooding her features. "How could this happen? Who captured him? Explain yourself!"
The man then said that Arthur's half-sister, Morgan, is the one who captured him.
Rhaenys stepped forward and said, "Wait, did you say my half aunt Morgan captured my father, Arthur?"
The man nodded, his expression grave. "Yes, Rhaenys. She has allied herself with dark forces, seeking to claim the throne for herself."
Rhaenys felt her heart race as the weight of the revelation settled upon her. "We must act quickly," she declared, determination igniting within her. "We can't let Morgan succeed; we have to rescue him before it's too late."
Serephina listened intently and nodded in agreement. "You're right, Rhaenys. We cannot allow Morgan to take control and harm your father."
"Yes, Serephina. I fully agree with what you just said," Rhaenys replied, her voice steady.
Serephina then says, "You have my word, Rhaenys. We will save your father, Arthur."
"Thank you, Serephina," Rhaenys replied, her heart swelling with gratitude. "Your support means everything to me." "I know we can do this together," she added, a spark of hope lighting her eyes. "I appreciate your promise to help save my father."
Serephina nodded, determination etched on her face. "Let's gather our allies and devise a plan; time is of the essence."
Rhaenys nodded in agreement, her eyes shining with renewed hope. "I entirely agree, Serephina; we must act quickly to save my father."
Grumpy stepped forward, a determined look on his face. "I'll help," he said, his voice steady and reassuring.
Bashful says, "I want to help."
Doc steps forward and says, "I want to help too."
Dopey says, "I want to help you as well."
Happy said, "I want to help too, Rhaenys."
Sleepy says, "I'm in as well, your highness."
Sneezy chimes in, "I'm in too, your highness."
Rynlyf says, "You can count me in too, your highness."
Rhaenys looked around at her friends, her heart swelling with gratitude. "Thank you all for stepping up to help save my father," she said sincerely.
Serephina says, "Let's go to the war room and discuss our next steps."
Rhaenys nodded, her determination renewed. As they made their way to the war room, she could feel the weight of their mission ahead, but with her friends by her side, she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Morgan's Base Camp Prison Tent
Merlin says to Arthur and the Knights, "This is definitely a prison and protection spell on the tent."
Arthur frowned, glancing at the tent's heavy fabric that seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly energy. "We need to find a way to break it if we stand any chance of escaping," he replied, his voice steady despite the uncertainty looming over them.
Merlin nodded, his brow furrowing in concentration. "I can attempt to dismantle the spell."
Arthur says, "Please do what you can, Merlin. We have to escape and find my daughter before my sister Morgan does."
Merlin closed his eyes, summoning the ancient words of power that flowed through him like a river. As he began to chant, the air around them crackled with tension, the shimmering fabric vibrating in response to his magic.
Suddenly, a surge of energy surged back towards Merlin, knocking him off his feet. He gasped as the spell he intended to dismantle rebounded with ferocity, sending him crashing into a wall.
Arthur rushed to his side, concern etched on his face. "Are you alright, Merlin?"
Merlin shook his head, trying to clear the fog of disorientation. "I underestimated its power," he admitted, struggling to his feet.
Arthur then says, "I guess my sister Morgan is a lot smarter than we thought."
Merlin nodded, still reeling from the spell's backlash. "Her magic has always been unpredictable," he replied, wincing as he leaned against the wall for support.
Arthur frowned, contemplating the implications of Morgan's abilities. "We need to be careful; her power could be a threat," he warned, glancing around the dimly lit room.
Merlin took a deep breath, feeling the lingering effects of the magic coursing through him. "Let's regroup and figure out our next move," he suggested, determination replacing his earlier disorientation.
They both knew that facing Morgan's cunning would require every ounce of their strength and wisdom.
Arthur frowned, contemplating the implications of Morgan's abilities. "I hope Morgan hasn't found my daughter," he said, his voice low and tense.
Merlin says, "I hope so too, your majesty. I hope so too."
Morgan entered the tent with determination in her eyes.
"Hello, dear brother," Morgan said, her tone dripping with malice. "I've been waiting for this moment."
Arthur yells at his sister, "Why did you take us, Morgan?"
Morgan's intentions were clear, and the tension in the air thickened. Arthur's heart raced as he faced his sister, struggling to comprehend her motivations.
"I'm using you to lure your daughter to me," Morgan declared, her smile chilling.
Arthur's frustration surged. "You won't get away with this, Morgan!"
Morgan's laughter echoed ominously, promising danger ahead. "You underestimate my power, brother. Your daughter will be mine."
Arthur clenched his fists, desperation fueling his resolve. "I won't let that happen," he vowed, his voice steady despite the fear coursing through him.
Morgan then says with an evil grin, "Well, sadly, brother. You're in no position to stop me."
"With every move I make, your chances dwindle," she taunted, stepping closer. Arthur's heart raced as he realized the extent of her dark intentions; he had to find a way to outsmart her before it was too late.
Morgan then says, "If you'll excuse me, brother. I have to go and prepare for your daughter's arrival."
Then Morgan walks out of the tent.
Arthur then yells out in an upset and scared voice, "Morgan! Morgan!" He felt a surge of desperation as her evil grin haunted him.
"Don't worry, your majesty. You will find a way out of this," Merlin reassured Arthur, sensing his turmoil.
Merlin's words lingered in the air, but Arthur could barely focus on them. His mind raced with thoughts of how to protect his daughter and defeat Morgan once and for all.
