A life for a life
A soul torn in half
An eternal bond snapped
"Even as he started groaning in pain and choking on his own blood, even as his king's chest jolted up and down erratically and a healthy flush rose up his neck, Merlin could feel his life fading slowly, his eyes began to flutter closed."
What if Merlin cried out to magic on the shores of Avalon?
A warlock's heart for his king's
A warlock's breath for a prat
A friend's plea for his brother

Swords & Spells (Book One):The Magic of Emrys
Emrys has always known that it is her destiny to turn the spoiled Prince Arthur Pendragon into the greatest king Camelot has known since magic was expelled from the kingdom. But if Emrys guides Arthur to his destiny, she leads herself to her own doom. Emrys hopes to be able to change her fate, but it's hard to focus on that when she's busy trying to keep the prat of a prince from being killed by everything else. ***This is a fanfiction based on the BBC show Merlin and features MAJOR canon divergent. There are original characters in this, some taking place of canon characters and others added in as side characters. Many of our favorite characters will both look and act a little differently, as such, but this is just to help them all fit better together. This story contains a lot of original plot points, with a sprinkling of beats from some favorite episodes, but I hope you'll give it a chance and still enjoy it!***Complete
