Rain fell as the young woman ran, baby in her arms crying from being shaken. The sound of knight's armor could be heard under the pounding of rain. The woman looked down into her child's violet eyes and tears began to fall from her eyes, "It'll be alright," she dried the child's face, "Mommy will take you to the one person that can protect you." She took a moment to glance back at the knights, "Uther won't find you…"

The woman quickly ducked behind a tree and searched the woods. Then she spotted it. A cottage with a single lighted window. She ran to it, protecting her baby.

As soon as she reached the door a small boy with dark violet eyes, a cross hair clip, and a single curl of hair that seemed to float near his head answered the door and looked the drenched figure over, "Please, young sir…I seek your master…"

The boy's emotionless eyes took in one more scan before going back into the house, "Master!"

The called for man sat cross-legged in front of the fire, his pale violet eyes opened, "Yes, young one…I've been inspecting our unfortunate guest…Let her in," he looked back to the younger, "Quick before the little one catches something."

The boy nodded once quickly before going back to the door and letting the woman in, leading her to his master. The man stood and turned looking at the women, "G-Good evening, my lord…Pl-please Uther's knights…they have come for him…" She held out the baby, "They wish to kill him."

The baby was asleep, "His eyes?" The man questioned.

"As violet as one can have them, my lord."

"There is no need to call me that. We are all equal under this roof," The man stepped forward and placed a hand on the woman's shoulder, "If you will allow my pupil to take the child…" The younger stepped forward himself and took the baby from the woman's hesitant grasp, "Would you like some tea before you leave?"

The woman watched as her son was taken to another room, "No…I must go. My father will worry."

"The knights are still searching for your child…You will be caught."

"But he is with you. They will not touch me…" The woman turned and left. Leaving the man watching her departure through his door until the woman had disappeared from his human sight.

It was silent, except the sound of rain on the roof, when the child began calling out, "Mamma! Mamma!"

"Shush, your mother is gone now…" The older boy's voice was as emotionless as his eyes.

The man closed his eyes, his soul reaching out to the woman's life force. He had almost reached it and connected when it was suddenly ripped away and a scream in the distance, that seamed close to his mind, made him loose his concentration.

"Master…?"

"She's gone…" The man looked down at the boy, "The child is asleep?" The boy nodded, "Good. Then let's get back to your lessons…"

"Yes, master Merlin…"

So I'm learning the Arthurian legend in school and I absolutely LOVE Arthur's legend. My family knows a lot about it. And my mom, sister and I watch the Merlin TV series so I thought I'd make a SuFin story with Merlin and stuff from the legend. Hope you enjoy~!
