Prologue
Two magical beings bound together by fate
Ever since both met on the very first day
Destined to be each other's soul mate
But then betrayal washed it all away
~0~0~0~
First time he truly saw her beautiful face
Had been at the celebration, the feast
Donned in a dress of red silk and lace
Making his heart race like a running beast
~0~0~0~
Yes, she was a high lady and he, a mere servant
But though they were of much different standing
Their friendship truly became so very fervent
For between them was much trust and understanding
~0~0~0~
But we all know that happiness does not last
And life is filled with many tests for every man
Their joy came crashing down too hard and fast
For then came her dreams and the nightmare began
~0~0~0~
She barged into the physician's chambers late one night
As she was really unable to bear all of it any longer
Messy hair and tear streaked face, she was truly a sight
He looks up alarmed, unsure if he should help comfort her
~0~0~0~
He wants to tell the truth about her magic, that she is a seer
He opened his mouth and he tried, oh yes, how he tried
But he was too afraid, consumed by the overwhelming fear
He was just a coward and so instead of the truth, he lied
~0~0~0~
As time when on, things became so much more worse
The dragon's words and warnings became twistedly lethal
And their intertwining destinies soon became their curse
For he made a huge mistake and did an action so very fatal
~0~0~0~
She felt much pain, not from the poison but the betrayal so deep
He held onto the gasping lady, his friend who he once held so dear
She whispered his name before darkness took over and she fell asleep
Watching the sleeping beauty caused pain and the trickle of the first tear
~0~0~0~
That day, his choice marked the path, the journey they had to embark
He had destroyed any hope of her returning and it was too late
His decision led to her demise and she became a creature so dark
She was now a woman filled with intense anger, scorn and hate
~0~0~0~
The dragon had said that she was the darkness to his light
And that she was also the hatred to his love
Well, it was true he guessed, Kilgharrah had been right
She was no longer that pure little white dove
~0~0~0~
When she had been told who he truly was, she had silently wept
But then her sadness morphed into anger and a burning desire
To take her revenge for all the terrible secrets that he had kept
Slowly, her pain then turned into a deadly raging hot red fire
~0~0~0~
And soon enough came the time for the final battle of magic
Mighty weapons clashed and powerful spells were cast
Truth to be told, the end would surely be rather tragic
For what was done couldn't be changed, it was the past
~0~0~0~
She already knew that he would be her destiny and her doom
As his sword plunged into her and her magic went out of power
And as she felt the red stain on her stomach begin to bloom
She gazed up at him knowing it would all too soon be over
~0~0~0~
Staring deeply into her eyes filled with bitterness so foul
His entire body shook, trembling hard as he cried
For the loss of a once pure and kind-hearted soul
As she lay limply in his arms and slowly died
~0~0~0~
Do let me know what you think of the prologue by leaving a review! Hope you enjoyed this and look forward to the next update.
Edit: So, recently I re-watched the 2008 Merlin TV series again since I've been staying put at home what with the whole pandemic that's going on. (To everyone out there, take care and stay safe!) Re-watching this show really gave me the inspiration and motivation I needed to pick up on writing over here once again. I've finally come back to this story (after too long) and I've realised that there were a lot of changes to be made so I'm re-writing this whole thing. To my dear readers who have stuck with me thus far, thank you for all the kind support and patience that you have shown me. I really hope to finish this story so I can share it with everyone here! I can't make promises to update regularly but I will try my best to do so. I hope you all will stick along with me on this journey!
