Hi!
Just a quick note before we start :)
This story is one of three- The Arrival, The Journey, and The Destination. I'm starting in the middle, partly because it's my favourite of the three, and partly because it's the longest, so hopefully, in the time it takes for this to be completed, I'll have completed the other two alongside it and then I can release all their chapters in one. I mean that's the plan anyway. In the meantime, if you have questions about what has happened before this part of the trilogy (or after, if you love spoilers) feel free to message me! It's a work in progress so I might not be able to answer everything but I can try.
I've never written anything like this before, I've never read anything like this before, so I'm hoping it's a refreshing change of pace and not an abhorrent insult to literature as we know it. I mean, what I've tried to do is combine Merlin with the rawness and (for want of a better word) reality that comes from Game of Thrones (there'll be a lot of stolen words- my favourite at the moment is Maester) but I've tried to keep to the themes in the TV show as much as I can. I want to give an new insight into the lives of the Knight's and the people of Camelot, and to explore the world of Albion through the eyes of my OC. I really hope you like my OC or hate her, I often hate her. But that's part of it, watching the way the characters- all the characters- grow.
This instalment starts at the moment that Merlin arrives in Camelot and will finish when he leaves it. Each chapter is an episode, but they've been given original names where I think it works best.
Please, please review! All your criticisms/comments/corrections are very much welcome- I want as much feedback as possible!
I hope you enjoy it, and thanks for reading my blabbering!
