One of my friends really enjoys writing fanfics, but unfortunately hasn't got access to , so I've agreed to post her stories here on my profile. She's called Hannah – like me! – and this is her first full length Merlin fic. It's set just after Series 1.
Any feedback is very much welcomed. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Neither of us own Merlin, but we totally love the show.
Window to the Past
Prologue
The tranquil and enigmatic island had, for the first time in many years, been disturbed. Earth and brick sang with the aura of magic, recently refreshed by a couple of perpetrators. The world had held its breath as fire and lightening had been played with by a vengeful priestess of a religion as old as the universe and a grief-stricken, powerful warlock forced to hide his potential under the threat of death. The young man had emerged victorious, silently striking down his foe, wounded only by a blow to the chest. The rain fell as he and another man, who had appeared to be dead, tumbled back towards a small boat. The warlock had glanced at the shredded material covering the wound and muttered a few well chosen words that repaired the torn shirt, unnoticed by his companion. As they floated away the rain ceased to descend from the heavens and, once more, the isle was as silent as the still water surrounding it, as if no struggle for survival had occurred.
