Part 1 Hindsight

(Authors Note: Ok I had this idea about Merlin. What if Lady Vivian comes back!? This one draws heavly on the original Arthurian legend. In case you aren't a nerd like me, the Vivian in the original legend was a sorceress ~or goddess I've read both~ and was after Merlin not Arthur. This is where I stop drawing on the legend. If you have no clue who Vivian is in the show, go watch the episode 'Sweet Dreams'. I own nothing!)

Looking back on it I suppose the trouble all started because Gwen and Elyan went to visit their aunt. I didn't even know they had an aunt to be honest. But no, apparently they had one and she insisted. Seriously, Gwen had never mentioned an aunt! You would think she would have said something. Mysteriously appearing relatives aside, that was about when the trouble started.

How exactly the trouble led to me hanging by my wrists in a long forgotten chamber near the dungeons in Camelot was still fuzzy. Of course that might have something to do with the head wound I blamed my massive headache on. Alone in the dark, damp, slightly depressing room I began to think back.

Three days. That was all it took, wasn't it? Three days for things to go completely wrong. Three days ago the problem had arrived. Her name was Lady Vivian.
