Hello again! I had done a story about Gwen and Arthur, so I thought why not write one about Freya and Merlin. Hope you like it! I am grateful for ANY reviews! Enjoy :)

Chapter 1

The village of Ealdor was a peaceful village. Merlin had grown up there, and there was rarely any troubled times, or disturbing moments like there was in Camelot. Merlin's mother was going to the well to fetch some water, when a hand grabbed her wrist with such agility that made her jump and drop the bucket. Looking at the stranger she was terrified. An elderly lady stood there hunched over with a cloak over her head. Her hand was body but strong, and her face was wrinkled and covered in boils.

Using a odd staff for support she looked like she was having a hard time breathing.

Before Merlin's mother could react, the stranger dropped to the ground.

A few days passed. The stranger was burnt, and buried.

Two little girls were playing ball at the edge of the water while there mothers were trying to hold a conversation, and watch their children at the same time. All of a sudden a small canoe floated by. As one of the girls investigated she shouted,

"Mommy! There is a girl in here!"

The mothers rushed forward and dragged the boat to shore.

There lay a young woman. Her face was pale, her eyes closed, and her hair raven black.

She wore a dress that looked like it had been made for a princess, and she lay on a bed of pine needles.

At first the women thought she was dead, but then they noticed a small movement in the chest indicating she was breathing. Calling to there husbands, they carried the girl into one of the huts and lay her on the bed.

Two days later the girl woke up. Looking around her she saw a woman with kind eyes looking down at her. The girl frowned,

"Where am I?"

"You are in Ealdor."

The girl sat up and asked,

"Who are you?"

"I am Hunith." (I didn't know Merlin's mother's real name soI put down what I thought it was. hope it's right!)

"I am Freya." The girl said getting up slowly.

Hunith led her to the table.

"Eat something. You will regain your strength." Pausing Hunith took a breath.

"How did you get in that canoe?"

Freya looked down. "It's a long story." Hunith asked some more questions.

"Do you have any family? Friends? A home?"

Freya shook her head. "My family died some years ago."

Hunith put her hands on Freya's shoulder. "You may stay here as long as you need."

Freya stopped eating. "I appreciate your kindness, but I am looking for a place. I was hoping you could help me."

"Of course." Hunith replied.

Freya took a deep breath.

"Where is Camelot?"
