Story Notes:
Story notes- I know a lot of fans and viewers were turned off by the unfairness of Gwen being banished. I saw it as an opportunity for Gwen's character that the Merlin could not take advantage and decided to write The Exile. The focus of the story is Guinevere and how she develops and grows as woman alone in the world. Gwen will learn she is smarter, stronger and more resilent then she ever imagined.
The men do appear however the early focus is almost entirely on Guinevere and her time outside of Camelot.

This chapter has the distinction of being the longest thus far as well as the hardest to write. I like to think it came out well. Please comment, your comments are important to me and if I find myself feeling stuck at some points the comments remind me that people really are interested in this story.
The story thus far-
Banished for treason, lost and alone Guinevere has finally made her way out of Camelot. While she has escaped Camelot largely unscathed Guinevere has lost nearly all of her possessions. Including the wedding ring Arthur gave her, the knife her brother Elyan gave her, the Kente cloth her grandmother brought from her Asante homeland and perhaps most grievous loss the references she needs to find new employment. Worse still she has stumbled into a strange city with mysterious ways.

Hi everyone this chapter has been the most difficult thus far but its also one of the most important.Please let me know what you think.
The story thus far: Arthur stumbled into a brawl all to similar to the duel he fought with Lancelot after discovering him in the council chamber with Guinevere. Only this duel ended in murder. Seeing far too much of himself in the dead man Arthur turns on the killer ready to mete out the king's justice.
