A/N: hey guys, I had this little idea and needed to get it down! Reviews are much appriciated!

Merlin was walking through the forest with Arthur, being deadly quiet.

"I hate hunting!" Said Merlin through gritted teeth.

"Shut up Merlin, you're starting to irritate me" said Arthur.

Merlin was about to comment when Arthur pusjed him out of the way of getting hit by an arrow.

"Run!" Shouted Arthur at the top of his lungs. They ran through the forest as fast as they coud, only to stop dead when they saw a woman standing there, blocking their way. Her eyes flahed gold, sending as ball of light his way when he was oushed out the way by Merlin.

The last thing Arthur saw was Merlin fall to the ground, but the inly thing that remained were his clothes. Or so he thought. The small bundle of clothes started to move and out popped a mop of black hair. When Arthur moved closer to get a better look, he was shocked to see Merlin there, as a six month old baby. Just as Arthur was about to confront the woman, she spoke.

"I have done this for you, as I know that your queen cannot concieve! You have one chance to prove that you will be a better father than Uther was. The first time you fail, it will cost you the life of your precious servant" said the woman.

"What's your name?" Asked Arthur. The woman turned to face him slightly.

"My name is Morgouse" she said, before leaving. Arthur looked down when he heard the screams of a baby. He scooped up Merlin in his arms, wrapping him in the coat Merlin used to wear, then headed back to camelot. He would have a lot of explainig to do.

A/N: so, what do you think? Sorry its so short but I want to see what you guys think before I continue on with it. Please review!
