"There was a battle and there was lightning and thunder everywhere. Merlin could not get the rain out of his eyes; however he was not deterred from bringing an end to Morgana's army by both his sword and magic. Arthur was by his side leading his knights to victory while he stood alone, cutting his people down like butter.
""We are losing Merlin, what do we do?" Arthur asked amid the thunder which had just struck.
"Merlin looked around himself and he saw that truly they were losing. Morgana had rallied far more soldiers than Merlin thought possible, thousands of sorcerers and secular soldiers all fighting for a cause he was supposed to be fighting for as Emrys.
""I have no idea. I am going to try something that wi…" a sword was already jutting out of his chest. A sword made with the breath of a dragon.
""Those are your last words Emrys" He heard the unmistakable voice of Mordred.
""You should know Mordred that I cannot die" Merlin spat out blood and looked up to see Arthur kneeling and bleeding

""That is why we are not killing you, but putting you to a very deep sleep, then we will throw you into the bottom of the ocean." Morgana said with some humor colouring her words.

""Morgana" He said as he began to feel the effect of the blade's magic in him

""You will go to sleep knowing that you have failed in your destiny. You brought about the destruction of Albion and your best friend, is dead"

"That was the last thing Merlin heard before he suddenly awoke on a forest floor. He looked around the forest and saw a fire on before him and realized that he was carrying a bag on his back.

"The day I left for Camelot. If I am back to the day I left for Camelot that means…
"He then heard bandits approaching his camp fire.
""What do we have here. A little brat with some food to share and coin to lend, I hope.

You came at a very bad time.

"Merlin then sprung up like a cat and suddenly, a bandit had lost his head and his sword. Merlin spun with inhuman speed and stabbed another before he slashed another across the chest.
""Don't you think you are too young to be part of these bandits" Merlin said to the last bandit of 15 years out of the four bandits there

"I will stop"

"Merlin then turned his sights towards the direction of Camelot as the boy fled from him.

I have to know what happened.

"Few days later, Merlin arrived at Camelot, unlike the last time he was here; 17 years old, stupid and naive, he was not going to be wowed by the beauty because he knew the truth. Camelot was built upon the blood of the innocents.
"Ahead of him he saw the gathering as he last remembered it, King Uther Pendragon on his balcony in all his self-righteousness, declaring a man a criminal just because the man held power that the King would never weild nor control.

Arrogant ass

"After the execution, Merlin went to visit the Court Physician however, he was not around, busy with some runs in the loower town therefor Merlin had to rent a room in the Rising Sun

Nimueh looked at the bowl watching the unimpressive boy before her and began to wonder why her magic was screaming for her to run the other way the moment she saw the boy. how powerful is he really.

How dark is his magic

The celebration of Twenty Years since the Purge began was already in full swing the moment Merli n got to the banquet hall. He had made himself invisible to the guards and had gone through undisturbed. after a while, Lady Helen of Morra came in and began to sing and enchant everyone to seep, the spell had no effect on Merlin whatsoever and so he did nothing.

It would be a good thing if Arthur was to die today. It woud be one less monster in the future.

However, Merlin jumped to action, he leaped from where he was and to before the witch and with inhuman speed, stabbed her with her own knife and held her as she fell forward. Just then, the court began to awake and what they saw was a stranger holding an old witch who was dead.
"She was about to kill the Prince" Merlin said.
"A reward shall be given" Uther said after composing himself.
"I want nothing other than to be your Court Witch Hunter" Merlin And to integrate myself at court and free my people.
"Then it is given. You are now the new Court Witch Finder"
"Merlin smirked inwardly, noticing the way Morgana paled and the way Arthur's servant became nervous instantly./p

Wait, was Arthur's manservant... Mordred? Grown up Mordred?
