A.N. I would like to thank It's a crazy-kept secret for giving me the inspiration for this story, and of course letting me use the idea.

I do not, and will never, own the awesome TV show that is Merlin.


"Gauis, I must ask of you a favor that wouldn't ask upon any persom, much less you." The blonde women looked away, making her curls fall into her face. The middle aged physician rose his eyebrow to the young noble women.

"And what, prey tell, is this favor, Lady Vivienne?" His suspicious blue eyes looked into her cautious brown depts. Her stance was tense as she put a hand to her bulging stomach. She hated having to ask him of this. With Morgause it was diffrent. She thought Uther was going through a faze, but still out of fear she gave up her first born, afraid of the powers she felt the baby posses. Then she had the genius plan of fixing her deranged king. Only to be used and left with a new baby. Morgana was diffrent, too. She felt no source of power from her daughter, like she did her first. With Morgana she felt no fear, anxieties, and heartbreak she felt with her first. Now she had a new baby with powers that far suppress her first.

"This baby that is growing in womb... it's special." This small sentence made the physicians eye brow go up even higher. "I know you must think me crazy, but I can feel the power growing in my womb every single day! This child is powerfull, Gaius, and it scares me." Gaius moved forward to comfort the now crying women.

"Ah, Vivienne. If your baby is this powerfull, how can it be? I know your mother practiced the art, but surely that isn't enough to make it as powerfull as you claim. And Goloris... he has no magical tie-" He was cut off as the distraught women removed herself from his embrace.

"Goloris isn't the father." She said her statement with such force, it startled the physician. "It was Balinor." At the mention of the name, Gaius almost broke down. Balinor, the last dragonlord, was an old friend of his and advisor to the king. Nine months prior, he was betrayed and by is he'd from Camelot, all in the name of the king's grief. "He came to me looking for shelter, knowing I would take pity on him. Goloris was away for a week, doing business in the castle when this transpired. I was lonely, one thing led to another, and now I'm carrying his child. I know I will not survive this pregnancy. I barely survived my first, and she only had one tenth of the magic this one posses! I need your help Gaius. This baby has to get out of Camelot, and your the only one I trust."


And so this is where our story begins. Vivienne had the baby, a small boy whom she named Merlin. As was predicted, she did not survive the birth. As the royal records say, the baby died with her. Gaius set out after the birth, for some 'medical emergency in one of the outer villages'. Only to arrive at his niece's house in a village named Ealdor, clutching a small baby in his arms. What nobody knew, was that these set of events started The Great Prophecy Of The Once And Future King.


I want to apologize for the shortness and that fact that it is unbetaed. I sent it to my beta, but she just started school hasn't gotten back to me yet. So I'm sorry, again, for any mistakes and the fact that it may be a little choppy. I'm still only a teenager and mastering my writing skills. May I see you all next update.
