Time frame: Goes from post-finale to "The Drawing of the Dark".

A Minor Adjustment: Part 1

Changing the past is extremely dangerous. Change the wrong thing and disaster could strike. Even small changes can have an enormous effect. Merlin knew this. In fact, he was counting on it.

Clenching the crystal in his palm, the warlock chanted the spell that would send him back in time.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in an abandoned corridor in the castle of Camelot. It was exactly as he remembered it, but there was no time to reminisce. Shrinking back into the shadows, he watched as the girl Kara was led past him. It was time.

What is Merlin up to? Find out in Part 2, coming soon to a computer near you. And please review!
