A young boy with big ears and bright blue eyes stepped off the train. He looked around the train station. He was supposed to meet some old guy here, named Gaius. There was nobody here, except for himself of course. He threw down his bag and with a huff of his breath. He slid down the red brick wall and sat on the cool pavement.

After waiting there about 45 minutes he decided to go look for this Gaius person. He left the station and found a nearby police officer ticketing a parked car. "Um, excuse me. Do you know where I could find Gaius?"

"You mean the Local physician?" The cop asked in a gruff accent, trying to clarify who the boy is talking about. This man was definitely not from Great Britain. The boy nodded shyly. The police officer pointed left and continued to ticket various cars parked along that road.

"Um, thanks, I guess." He wasn't exactly sure where to go but the left was his best start. So he walked down the street, looking for a clinic. He spotted the clinic quickly. Furthur down the road a sign read Gaius Addington, Medical Practitioner. He opened the door hesitantly, This must be it unless there was more than one person named Gaius who also was a doctor. "Hello? Hello? Gaius?" He called out looking around the small space. The place smelled of stale cardboard, sick people, and essential oils. The place looked pretty dusty too almost as if deserted. Though he quickly discovered that it wasn't when an old man slipped over a stray puddle of water near the water cooler by the door.

Time seemed to slow as he willed a chair to slide underneath the man. Time resumed as fast as it started to slow. The boy's eyes faded back to his original blue colour. Much different from the magical gold they just were a second ago. Gaius, he presumed, fell into the chair with a bewildered expression on his weathered face. "What did you just do?"

"Erm..."

"Tell me!" The old man pressed.

"I- I- I have no idea what happened." The boy stuttered. It was somewhat true though. He didn't know how these bursts of magic happened.

"If anyone had seen that..."

"Er, no! That- that was, that was nothing to do with me. That- that was..." The boy insisted that he knew nothing of it.

"I know what it was! I just want to know where you learned how to do it!" The man yelled angrily.

"Nowhere."

"So how is it you know magic?" He inquired.

"I don't." The boy insisted, but Gaius was relentless. For he had never seen any wizard or witch do magic like this. It wasn't normal.

"Where did you study?... Answer me!"

"I- 've never studied magic or, or been taught." The boy answered quite fearfully now.

"Are you lying to me, boy?"

"What do you want me to say?"

"The truth!"

"I was born like this!" The boy yelled.

"That's impossible! Who are you?"

"Oh, erm..." the boy pulls open his bag and pulls out two envelopes. "I have these letters. Mum said to give you them both." He handed Gauis the letters

"I don't have my glasses."

"I'm Merlin. Well, actually Merlinus but I prefer Merlin."

"Hunith's son?" Gaius said, seeming to know exactly who he was now.

"Yes!"

"But you're not meant to be here till Wednesday!" Merlin deadpanned.

"It is Wednesday."

"Ah, right then. You better put your bag up there." Gaius said pointing to the staircase.

"You- you won't say anything about, erm..."

"No. Although, Merlin, I should say thank you." Merlin smiled at him and slightly jogged up the stairs.

Gaius opened the first letter, it was from his younger sister Hunith.

My dear Gaius, I turn to you for I feel lost and alone and don't know who to trust. It is every mother's fate to think her child is special, and yet I would give my life that Merlin were not so. He's different, I fear what would become of him if anyone found out. He needs a hand to hold, a voice to guide, someone that might help him keep his gifts under control. I beg you, if you understand a mother's love for her son, keep him safe, and may God save you both.

Gaius grimaced, this will not be an easy task.

Authors Note: I changed Merlin's name because Merlin is already a person in the Harry Potter World. (Same person just like the last incarnation of him.) I made Gaius Merlin's uncle so that it would make more sense than just sending him to the only magical person that Hunith knew. Also I'll probably upload about once a week, maybe more.
