What if Nimueh raised Merlin What if this caused Merlin to embrace Magic as his Right to rule over Mortals and he wished to have vengeance against Uther . What if he was raised as a High Priest of the Old religion.
Chapter 1
In a land of myth, and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. His name... Merlin
Hunith was running as fast as she could through the Ealdor forest looking for a place to hide as she carried a baby in her arms. Pendragon soldiers recognizable by their red cloaks with yellow dragons. Uther men had gained permission to search Ealdor with this purge gaining support everywhere from a unanimous distrust of magic. She scared for her life and child beyond words and when a local girl saw her son moving toys with his eyes glowing she ran right to Uther men to tell them of it. I should have been more careful is the mantra that ran in Hunith mind as she was running for fear of what they might do. They were all around her and had cut off the pass in the forest she was taking they would kill her for having a son with magic a baby who would never see the world. Hunith Cried as the Soldiers were about to strike but then a loud lighting flash struck once, Twice, it kept striking the ground. Forcing them to stay back and the arrows stopped in mid-air. Hunith looked down and gasped as she saw her Son eyes glowing. "Magic!" Hunith struck with fear if the baby stopped the men would surely kill her and the infant she was alone and out of options. But fate had other plans that night. Nimueh arrived at the scene as she could feel a strong wave of magic coursing in the area and she noticed the mother and child being protected by nature. Nimueh used her magic to stun the guards and would strike them each down with a quick blade to the back. Nimueh spoke to Hunith with a kind voice. "Your safe now sister come out and join me I will need people like you to fight that bastard Uther Pendragon." Hunith petrified for a moment which she quickly recovered from and then spoke softly"It was not me it was my child..." Nimueh smiled and would walk up and take the baby from Hunith arms. She then used a spell to blast Hunith across the field and used her magic to increasing the speed of a fallen arrow straight into Hunith head. Hunith lied dead and her life force was gone. Nimueh smiled and knew this child would be her greatest tool to destroy Uther and avenge her people. Nimueh would take the Child with her to the Isle of the Blessed. Nimueh knew her time would come but patience was the key to destroying Uther and Avenging her Magical Kin. Nimueh smiled and spoke "I will call you Merlin."
