A/N: My first Merlin fanfic. Woo. By the way, this is just a prologue.
Disclaimer: Only doing this once. I do not own Merlin. Just my ideas and my OCs.
The universe in which she had been born wasn't like anywhere else in the realities she had walked through, searching constantly for that which still eluded her. In her world, there was no sun but there was light - bright, white, fluorescent light that floated around the enormous space, occasionally slipping through the cracks and observing strange new worlds and moments of both happiness and grief before they fell through another crack, unable to return home. There was never a return once you left this place... Except for one person.
She was special, chosen for a greater cause than those with whom she had grown up with. She had been meant for another world, another universe, another reality - but that fact had been hidden from her until she had lost the only thing that She knew was worth more than her own life. Her mother: Queen Emilie - she had ruled over her universe for over a thousand years, never aging. And so, when Emilie fell through a crack in reality, falling into another one, her first-born, her daughter, found out her true purpose: she was a Searcher. She found the fallen and the lost and sent them back to their eternal home until they would be needed one day in the far-off future. With the role came an ancient ritual, forcing her to disregard her birth name – her true name - and choose another. She chose to be called Elaina.
And so, for the next two years, Elaina travelled from world to world, universe to universe, reality to reality, searching for the fallen and taking them home. And then she walked through a gap, a huge gaping hole that shouldn't have been there. As she took her first step on this ground, she felt something surge through her and Elaina knew. This was something different - and her return was far from guaranteed this time, as it had been so far. Upon her arrival, she stole a jet black horse that nobody cared for and named it "Abyss", after the one her royal mother had fallen through. She rode through so many villages, sleeping in the woods and wilderness until she reached a kingdom that was rumoured to be one of justice and beauty and greatness. Camelot. But there was something else that Elaina had been told by villagers - magic was used only if you wished to die. That proved a problem with Elaina – she had been born with magic of the most extreme power of darkness, light, justice and vengeance. With her role of Searcher, her magic had been augmented. And she had never been one to follow orders, or respect authority.
A/N: Hope my prologue was good. I'll be uploading my chapter with this as well.
Till the next time,
