Babe with the power

Disclaimer: I do not own, affilate or have any ties to the creators, producers, writers, or actors of 'Merlin.' I write for my own pleasure of writing. I do hope you enjoy.

Note: This story begins in the year 2014. When my OC time travels, she enters Camalot during the beginning of 'Merlin's' second season. The world in 2014 in my story is very alike yet extordinarily different than the world you know. This story is based off a world where the legends and history and Arthur, Camalot and Merlin did indeed exist. We will dive into this world in a later chapter.

Chapter One

"Death seems to follow you, young witch," observed the Great Dragon as he surveyed the damage he inflicted on the already ruined city.

The young witch wiped her fallen tear off her best friend's cheek. She said nothing as she held his body close to hers. She could already feel his body growing cold. She couldn't believe he was dead. She couldn't believe she was the cause of his death. He was all she had since the Dragon had killed her parents two years before. Now she was all alone in an unforgiving chaotic world.

"The only thing following me is you!" she screamed, turning her gaze toward the large mystical creature. "What do you want from me?" she sobbed, laying the body of her best friend, Gavin, down lovingly. Even in death he was still ruggedly handsome with short, thick chocolate brown hair and perfect dream-boy facial features.

The Dragon blinked at her questionably. "I neither want nor demand anything from you witch. I killed the boy because he is not part of your future. Your destiny is of magic and he did not have one mystical bone in his body," explained the Dragon as the young woman stood to face him.

"That does not matter! I cared for him!" she yelled, her turquoise eyes turning a blazing shade of orange as she talked. "I promise to the Gods above; on the graves of all my loved ones and everyone who died at your hands that I will take my vengeance. I swear that with the last ounce of oxygen left in my body and my last heartbeat that I will stop you. And I will take pleasure in killing you," she threatened, glaring at the creature, fists clenched.

The smug Dragon seemed to smile at her. "I've lived for many millennia… and I know there is only one person who could help you. One person in all of existence who is as powerful as yourself; unfortunately, he died several thousand years ago."

"Don't underestimate me, especially if you believe I am as powerful as you say," replied the young sorceress. "Look into my eyes you son of a bitch, because I'm the one who will kill you."

The Dragon stared at her, his smile fading only ever slightly.


Kairi looked over the contents she planned to pack. Some articles of clothing, beauty products and toiletries, her only spell book and her cell phone. She figured she would need something more than a bottle of shampoo or tube of mascara that would prove her time traveler story if she was ever discovered. She sighed and waved her hand. The once still contents lying quietly on her bed jumped to life and packed themselves into her expanding pouch she made herself. The pouch itself was a clearance item at the once popular store 'Claire's' and the expanding spell was sort of a specialty of the young girl. The pouch would always look empty, but one could virtually put anything inside no matter the size or weight of the object.

She grabbed her tan trench coat from her front room foyer. True, it was made for a man, but she loved the way it looked on her, so it quickly became her favorite coat. She slipped the pouch inside one of the pockets and locked up her parents small run down home for the last time.

She made for the woods quickly and quietly. Even at midnight, people would be out and about trying to rob and rape unsuspecting women out of their purses and even lives. It had been two weeks since her encounter with the Great Dragon, and she was still incredibly upset about everything that had happened. She was intent on stopping everything that happened since the Great Dragon started the war. She was intent on saving the lives of the six billion people who lived on the Earth. She was going to save the cities, the technology, the commerce and everything the twenty-first century had become known for. She wasn't going to fail, but first she needed help. Help from a very powerful wizard; the very father of magic- Merlin.

She had spent the last two weeks researching time traveling spells. Most were either tossed out because they were faked or proven not to work. Others were trashed because it would most likely kill the traveler. Just as Kairi was about to give up, she found the one spell she believed would work. It gave her about an eighty percent chance of survival with just enough left over magic for one or two major spells. Three to four minor spells, give or take. She would need at least one major spell once she arrived. The research said it would take at least three weeks to recover from the magic depletion.

She found the clearing she would need in order to complete the time traveling spell. She was incredibly nervous. Not very many magical beings had ever attempted such a feat, and most never lived to tell the tale in either time-zone. She took one last glance around her world. A world she would never see again.

She took a deep breath. She cleared her mind and concentrated on one thing: Merlin. The trees around her started to spin, faster and faster until everything was a blur. Kairi became disoriented as the spinning continued until everything around her changed. Night into day, bare clearing into a lush green forest appeared around her, the spinning slowing down. She blinked, took another deep breath, and passed out on the forest floor.
