Title: Take a sad song (and make it better)
Author/Artist:

~~Pairing~~/Characters: Arthur, Ygraine
Prompt: (modified from a prompt at the merlin art fest) Whoever is out walking (Merlin, Gwaine, Arthur? Merlin, Arthur, Gwen, Morgana? Just Arthur? Just Merlin?) sees a ghost (but not an angry Uther-ghost). Could be a nondescript ghost (transparent white sheet with eyes kind of thing) or a more mysterious figure-ghost. I want a ghost pleeeeeeeeeeease!!)
Word Count/Art Medium: Digital (Photoshop manip)
Rating: G
Contains (Highlight to view): *Canonical character death*

Notes: Just a quick bit of manip with Bradley and Alice. The reference image I used for Ygraine was from the movie Rang de Basanti, which I highly recommend everyone to watch. (Its available on Netflix)
Summary: Arthur might be slightly drunk, but definitely not enough to hallucinate; But there she was on Christmas Eve, his mother, standing there looking at him. His rationality dictated that he not believe it, but his heart was beating fast and his throat was all clogged up. What was happening?
