This is the first part of my Merlin: Alternate Stories series, this one on S1EP2 Valiant. What if Merlin didn't have time to learn the spell? Would Arthur be killed? Would Merlin get caught for using magic? Would valiant get away? There will be multiple books in this series, all different "What If's?" Of different Merlin episodes I do not own the characters or the beginning Original storyline, those belong to the BBC. I just change and extend the plot. I hope you enjoy reading this!
