Summary: The Poison Chalice (Series 1, Episode 4) rewrite. Merlin uses his magic and Nimueh sees. She give him the chance to help her right some wrongs


Everything was going to plan. She had successful been accepted as part of Bayard's party, managed to walk around unnoticed by Uther and had placed a Mortaeus petal into the goblet. She had even bumped into Merlin and flirted with him slightly to gained him trust, and it had seemed to have worked. All she had to do was wait for the feast before making her escape after Merlin had drunk from the goblet.

It reality she should have expected it. It explained how he defeat the anfac so easily. But it was still a shock. Nimueh watched with surprise, but realisation, as Merlin magicked away the stain that had got on to the tunic.

She wondered what he was doing here, hiding underneath Uther's nose. He looked as though he accepted his magic. He must have done if he would use it so openly. She wondered who had taught him. She had wondered who would be stupid enough to teach him in Camelot.

That was the moment she realised that she could rewrite her part in all this. She could take him away and teach him properly. She could pass on the knowledge that was passed on to her mentor which was passed on from hers. The knowledge of the high priestess didn't have to end with her. She didn't have to be the person who helped cause the purge against her own kind.

She told him that she could teach him everything that he would ever need to know. She asked him for the privilege to try and pass on her knowledge to him. She tried to tell him about the dangers of being in Camelot when he stopped her by accepting her offer. In return, he had asked for her to leave Camelot alone. He told her what he hoped to achieve as part of his destiny and that he needed Camelot to do that.

Nimeuh took them away and started to teach him straight away. He would become the man he was meant to be. He would become the greatest sorcerer to ever walk the earth. She was glad that he was quick learner and Nimeuh was glad that she had a part to play in the destiny that she was now sure that he would complete.
