This ori...
A/N: this was the only picture I could find of Ealdor. I don't own it. I'm sorry the quality is not great.
They were now looking at what looks like ... Ealdor. "Wait, is that Ealdor? What are you doing? What is this?" Merlin rambles as she begins to figure out what the sorcerer meant when he said he wanted something from her.
"They are memories. From almost everyone is this room. This is to help me understand how you have and will become Emrys." The sorcerer said, making everyone stare at him in pure shock. Merlin begins to panic about them seeing what she has done. What she has learned. Who she has killed.
Before she could protest, he continued, " I was going to start with how you met the Once and Future King, however, I realised that's not all that has made you who you are. Therefore we shall see every important event in your life that has led to this moment. And now... Tosaigh na himeachtaí seo! Taispeáin a bhfuil agus a thiocfaidh chun bheith!"
Suddenly, the peaceful setting of Ealdor was interrupted by a bloodcurdling scream.
Everyone flinched as Arthur jumped up, asking,"What was that?" There is a look of confusion and slight recognition on Gaius' wrinkled face, "I don't know for certain, however, I feel I've heard it before." This leaves everyone wondering why Gaius recognises a scream in Ealdor.
The fields changed to a small hut, inside was a slightly younger, and less wrinkly looking Gaius.
'I think I now know why I had heard the scream before.' Gaius thinks, showing a look of peacefulness, knowing there is nothing wrong.
He was holding a bundle of blankets in his arms while trying to help an also younger looking Hunith sit up before handing her the small bundle to hold.
"Oh," Hunith gasps in surprise. "This was when Merlyn was born." She smiles, remembering holding young Merlyn. When she also remembers what happened when Gaius left the room, her smile drops. She doesn't see her late husband smile longingly at what he hadn't even known he'd missed until it was far too late.
"Mum, it that...? Oh, you look so young!" Merlyn compliments her mother, smiling at how peaceful she seems. "But, why are we seeing my birth? I thought this was about my magic?" She asks, confused.
Gaius replies, confusion also showing on his face, "I'm not sure, my dear child. As far as I can remember, nothing very extraordinary happened at least not with your ..." Gaius hesitates, still not too comfortable speaking of magic in the presence of others; especially the King. "Magic." He knew he was right to be cautious when he saw the King's hands twitch and move towards his now, nonexistent sword. He looked around to see the reactions of the rest of the people. Most of the knights seem fine, with the exception of Gwaine who looks like he wants to go up to Merlyn and tease her endlessly. Gwen watches the screen trying to get a glimpse of what she now knows is her friend's little face. Morgana seems bitter and slightly relieved about something. And Arthur, looks at the screen eager to see more. He then turns to look at the screen once more.
"Oh, she's beautiful! And so small." Hunith says, not taking her eyes off her newly born daughter. Gaius smiles at his niece and grandniece. "I shall grab some more quilts." Gaius says, before leaving them alone to bond some.
Hunith continues to watch Merlyn with a look of awe on her face. Suddenly, the perspective changes, and we can now see Merlyn's pink, scrunched up face.
She opens her eyes, which can't seem to focus on anything. She appears to be looking around for a minute, before seemingly spotting her mother. She coos, and the small specks of gold in her light blue eyes seem to morph together, turning the iris of her eyes pure gold.

The room goes silent. Arthur is stunned. How is it possible? He had grown up being told that only those who are evil use magic. But Merlyn isn't evil. There was another part of himself that wasn't as shocked as he thought he would be. 'It's Merlyn, she's always been different. I just didn't know how different.'
Oblivious to his only son's thoughts, Uther can't believe how this monster managed to get so close to his son and him. She obviously seduced him with her magic and has entranced him into falling for her. He felt that he should continue to observe this monster's life, so he would be able to find her weaknesses and once he kills the sorcerer that has kidnapped them, he can kill her. His son would finally be free.
Hunith's hair is moved by a seemingly invisible force. She freezes and looks down at her newborn daughter with a look of fear in her eyes. She starts mumbling,"This can not be... No... They're going to hurt her... They're going to kill her!" She holds her daughter closer to her chest. Suddenly, Gaius can be heard coming back towards the room. Hunith whispers to her her daughter, "They can never know. But you will grow up knowing how special you are. You are amazing..." she trails off, as Gaius enters the room. "No one can know."
Leon can suddenly feel this weight on his chest. He has drowned babies and killed children who had parents that were accused of possessing magic. 'That could have been Merlyn' The girl he now sees as a little sister, he could have killed, had she been years younger. Her mother could have been killed and have to watch someone kill her daughter. These kids have done nothing wrong. Those with magic aren't the monsters, they are.
Suddenly, Gaius can be heard coming back towards the room. Hunith whispers to her daughter, "They can never know. But you will grow up knowing how special you are. You are amazing..." she trails off, as Gaius enters the room. "No one can know."
A/N: Hi... I'm so sorry for the immensely long wait for this chapter! I've had some family problems and school exams but I am finished school and, after this, I intend to update at least once a month. Sorry if it's a bit short!
I have been thinking about Freya and Merlyn's possible relationship, and I really want the kiss to still happen. I mean, can you imagine Uther's reaction to that?
Thank you so much for reading this! Have a good day.💕
