A/N: Author's note is gonna be longer than the actual chapter. :P Anyway, sneak peek of an upcoming project, based on the play "The Stories of Scheherazade" by Susan Pargman is up next. I was working on a production of it (not acting; assisting) earlier in the summer. I fell in love with it and of course had to turn it into something Merlin-related. I felt it was too epic for a drabble, so it's going to be a short (ish) story (okay maybe like medium-length). It's after s3 (did anyone see the s4 trailer from the SDCC? GAHHH) and Arthur's about to follow in his father's footsteps of hating on magic. It takes a smooth-talking gypsy, a couple of knights, and of course MERLIN MAGIC to show him the man he could truly be. Anyone interested? ;) Genre is Adventure/Fantasy. Also, I'm about to publish a Tragedy/Romance/Angst story that is a 'historically accurate' version of "The Lady in the Lake", since the episode made absolutely no sense to me. I'm about halfway done and I'm rushing to finish before s4 debuts, although whether or not that works out for me is gonna be a guesser.
Anyway, enjoy this drabble. :)
Drabble 25: Understood
Hunith watched her little boy play outside with some of the other village children, keeping a close eye on him. She must make sure that he didn't accidentally let any of his powers show. He already knew that he could never speak of them.
It was days like this that Hunith really missed Balinor, not only as a lover, but as Merlin's father. He'd have been a wonderful father. Hunith wasn't magical, so she would never know what it was like for her son. She would never have that bond with him.
Still, she was doing the best she could.
