A prompt from Griffinesque, who gave me a lot of good ones that I hope I can do justice to.
His father had been right, of course. It was a slippery slope.
First it had been the boy, Mordred. How could a child be evil?
Then it was Merlin's friend Will, who died to save him. That certainly wasn't evil.
And the Dragonlord, who perished on his way to help Camelot, couldn't be so bad either.
So when he discovered Merlin's magic, he locked himself in his room for a day and thought.
Merlin? Evil?
And now he'd hit the bottom because, not only was he keeping a sorcerer from his father, he considered him a friend.
Slippery slope indeed.
