A/N: Hello, friends! Okay, so Sapphire requested Agravaine, and then I started flipping through my iTunes, and then I got the idea to write Mergana, and then it somehow became Hunith and Balinor. I freaking love being an author. I really do. XD
Sad news. My sister's hamster died. :'( She was a very nice little friend, and we will miss her. Why am I telling you this? Mainly to make it sound like I have a legit reason to be a miserable angsting wreck after The Reichenbach Fall. And believe me, I will be an angsting miserable wreck. I apologize in advance.
Enjoy!

She wasn't meant to do great things. The daughter of a farmer, growing up in a village under the control of a cruel tyrant, Hunith had always known her place in the world.
It wasn't until Queen Ygraine died, and Uther of Camelot unleashed a vendetta against sorcery that she was able to find her voice.
She protected a man; a Dragonlord, in her home for six months before he was forced to flee again.
On the night he left, Balinor gave her a gift.
"I'd rather give you diamonds," he whispered.
Instead, it was a wood carving.
A dragon.
It was originally going to be of a merlin bird, but I decided against it, since Balinor didn't even know Merlin existed until The Last Dragonlord, and it would've made it sound like he did. ...if that makes any sense. It's 1 am; I'm completely inarticulate. :P
Cheers!
