Alright so I know I PROBABLY shouldn't be starting another fanfic when I have no time for the other, but I REALLY love this new idea, and I wanted to start a fanfic that wasn't Harry Potter related. SO for those of you who have read my other works, I hope you love this one as much as you love my other works, and I promise I'll do my best to keep them both updated more often!
Thank you and I hope you enjoy! :)

NOTE: THIS PART KIND OF MAKES IT SOUND LIKE SHE'S GOING TO END UP WITH MERLIN, BUT I PROMISE YOU, THIS IS MORDRED/OC! MY OC AND MERLIN ARE ONLY GOOD FRIENDS!
Thank you!

"You must let him die, Merlin," the Great Dragon warned.
"I can't," he said. "He's only a boy."
"A boy who's destiny is to cause Camelot and Arthur Pendragon to fall."
"I can't. I won't do it."
The huge golden dragon sighed.
"Very well." Merlin turned to walk back to the upper levels of the castle, but the dragon stopped him. "Young warlock," he said, "if you do not kill the boy, then you must do something else, or you shall risk the end of Camelot."
The warlock hesitated. "What is it?"
"You must find Claridone and take her to the druids which harbor the druid boy Mordred."
"Who is she?" he asked after a moment.
"She is your other half," he said. "And your only hope to save Camelot."
"What do you mean my 'other half?'"
"She is much like you, young warlock. But she was born with magic by the sun, the moon, and the earth. She has no human parents. She is your partner who shall aid you in your destiny. Without her, there is no destiny."
"Why didn't you tell me of this sooner?"
"She must only be released when the time is right," he said. "You and her will become the best of friends in time. It is, in fact, the true beginning of your destiny," the dragon told him.
"But… How is she my 'other half?'"
"Her magic is what completes yours. In order for you to reach your true potential, you need your loyal friend and equal by your side."
"What is her purpose?"
"That will be answered in time."
The warlock hesitated again. "What must I do?"
"You must travel to the very outskirts of Camelot," the dragon said. "In the direction of the Crystal Cave. If you continue forward, you will reach a lake. In this lake there are merpeople who guard many of their past kings and queens within blocks of ice. In the very center, she will be found."
"How am I to get there?"
"There is a weed called Moriart, which you must eat for three days. When you get to the lake, you must speak the sacred language of the merpeople, and then you can breathe in those waters."
"If they're guarded, how will I get there?"
"You must tell them who you are. They know of her destiny, and they will let you pass."
"Why is she amongst the royalty of the merpeople?"
"She was born within the water, within the ice which she resides in order to be protected until the time was right for her to be born."
"How will I know it is she?"
"Her hair is gold like the sun and like the fire on earth. Her skin is like moonlight upon the water. Her eyes are greener than the forests of the earth, and when you hold her, she will be as light as the air that surrounds us."
"How will I get her out of the ice?"
"When you see her, you must hold her. That is all. She will awaken at the touch of her other half. Once her friend of all friends comes to release her, her power will begin to rise and only then may she be free."
"Very well," he said after only a moment's hesitation. "I will do it."
"Young warlock," he called after him. Merlin paused and looked back at him. "You can not fail if you wish for her to fulfill her own destiny."
Merlin nodded before turning and running back up the stairs to help bring Mordred home to the Druids.

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE review! I'd love some feedback, I really would! As I said, I promise her and Merlin will become friends, NOT lovers. I'm leaving the loving to a certain druid boy. ;)
