004 [Only the Memories Remain]

[onperfectlips.livejournal.com]

[Gwen was pale and tearful when she appeared on the Plane, trying to keep her grief and shock in check with limited success.]

The people who went missing in Camelot ... [She swallowed..] They've been found.

[She had shared her initial concerns with a number of the people on the Plane. It was only to fair to tell them what had happened. Besides, given what she'd learned about the bodies by speaking to some of the knights, she doubted that this would be the end of things. The mystery remained unsolved and she couldn't fix things alone.]

They've been murdered. [It was strange how saying it aloud made it seem all the more real.] The killer took their hands.

[Hands that had delivered coal and picked lavender and helped the cook in the castle kitchen. Hands that had belonged to real people with real lives. They might not have been rich or famous or well renowned, but they had mattered to the people that loved them.

She'd stop this from happening to anyone else. She had to.]

Has... [Morgana shakes her head.] I'll increase the guard. Tensions have decreased to the west. We can bring some of our men home to protect the people.

Has what, Morgana?

[But she nodded at the suggestion of increasing the guard.]

That would help the people of the lower city to rest more easily.

It isn't anything. [She smiles to gloss over it.] We'll make its investigation a priority as well.

Thank you. It will mean a great deal to everyone who has been affected.
