chapter 1: Merlin

A very old and tall man stood on top of a hill. Behind him you can see a cave that looked like a regular cave at first. But if you went inside you would find a very comfortable living area. This man was a very wise man but if you looked him in the eyes you would see great sadness and loneliness. This man was know as Merlin.

The reason that Merlin was sad and felt lonely was that his wife Nimue had died a few days ago.

He had known that she would die and he would live it was part of being immortal. He knew that it was bound to happen but when it did it was a huge pain on his heart. He was now all alone. He laughed at the idea that the most powerful Merlin was all alone. Another thing that mad him sad was that with all his power he could not save the one he loved so much. when she died he had screamed " WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THIS POWER IF I CANT EVEN SAVE THE ONE THAT I LOVE."

A few years later and Merlin still was lonely and still could remember his wonderful lover Nimue. Today was a special day that was the reson he had lift his 'cave'. Today was the day he would fake is own death. He had It all planned he would visit king Arthur as he did on occasion, then he would fake a heart attack. When he had first thought of this idea he thought it would not work but then he got the idea to make is aura visible to the people and float high in the sky and then vanish. Now he was to take the potion before he meet with Arthur. It was a delayed potion that would activate in 15 minutes after the drinker drank it. He sighed and got ready to fake his death. He popped over to King Arthur's castle, and was greeted by the guards whom let him pass. When he got to the main hall he toke the potion and drank it in one gulp.

He entered the hall and was greeted warmly by all that were present. He toke a seat in the garden with Arthur and they talked for about 10 minutes before Merlin started to feel his pulse fade as it was supposed to he waited until he could no longer feel his pulse before he started to act. He suddenly grabbed his heart and started to scream. He let himself fall on the ground and start shaking he then toke a really bug breath and played dead. Arthur quickly ran up to him to feel for a pulse when he didn't feel one he announced to those present that Merlin was dead.

Merlin then let go of his control on his aura. Arthur was shocked when Merlin started to glow a very bright white color. He was even more shocked when Merlin started to float. Merlin was using wandless and staff less magic to float himself really high. Then he willed him self home and with a small pop he disappeared and that was the last time anyone ever herd of Merlin the great as he was later called.

It was now a 1000 years later that he was sitting reading a book when he got a very powerful vision he had not had one with is much power ever before.

Vision:

He was standing in front of a small house it looked like a ver conformable little home. He herd footsteps and turned around to look at the new comer. A very tall man with his face covered was moving towards the house he toke out a wand and blasted the door off. Merlin decided to follow him and see what happens next.

He saw the tall man dueling with a young man looking no older then 21. A flash of green and the young man was killed. The tall dark figure hurried up the stairs Merlin followed, he herd talking in one of the rooms and went to inspect what was going on. He saw the man point his wand at a young woman and a flask of green later she was dead behind her was a small baby boy. Merlin knew what was going to happen he felt sorry for the little boy to die at such a young age. The tall dark man looked at the boy and almost hissed " so you're the one who is supposed to defeat me hahahahaha" when Merlin heard his this he was surprised that there was a prophecy about the young child. The dark man turned his want on the boy but unlike with his parents a purple shield surrounded the young boy and the curse hit the boys forehead and was deflected back upon the dark man. The mans body burnt to a crisp all that was left was a spirt that fled to find shelter. Merlin was surprised at the shield the little child was able to produce at such a young age. He knew this buy would be a mage more powerful then him one day.

The seen changed and he was standing on what looked like Hogwarts grounds. Merlin of course knew of Hogwarts.

He saw a young man that looked like the child in the other vision. The young man was facing the same dark man from the other vision. " are you ready to die Tom" said the young boy "no Potter I am not but you defiantly are ready to die" Merlin watched as they fought he desided to see there power levels as he has the power to do so even in visions when he saw Harry's he saw that there were a few power blocks on the boy. Merlin wondered how the buy was going to win when he had the blocks. His question was answered when the young boy in question was struck down and killed. By now the dark man was very tiered. There was a pop and a very old man appeared and he started to duel the man and was beat the dark man. The old man turned to the young one and said " I am sorry Harry but I could not let you become more powerful then me nor could I let you beat Tom because if you had you would be the beacon of light I would not be in control any more with someone who can challenge my authority. By now Merlin was really seething how could this old man do this was he responsible for the young ones death he checked the young ones power reserves he found that the blocks were indeed the same signature as the old man.

When Merlin came back to reality he was very troubled by the 2 visions he had. He summoned his staff concentrated the time of the visions. This would bring him to the time in between the 2 visions there was a reason that fate had given him this vision and he was going to find out why.
