What would you do if you were trapped inside your mind?
That every time you slept, the beast came out to terrorize the people you loved.
After escaping Morgana's never ending torture, a series of killings breaks out in Camelot. At first, the only victims are servants, but Uther's fear leads him to believe the attacks are magical and will soon result in the death of his son. Trying to hide his trauma, Merlin will stop at nothing to ensure the safety of Camelot, but as the killing continues, he will soon learn that he is behind them only he has no memory of ever attacking.
Going by the name Emrys, Merlin's double half has teamed up with his lover Morgana, and as a war brews between the sorcerers and the Pendragon's, Emrys is working as an inside man under Merlin's cover, killing off anyone who stands in his way. As he fulfills his role with Morgana in seeking Camelot's destruction, his destiny edges closer, and the prophecy of him being Prince Arthur's bane is nigh. After the death of Uther and his son, Emrys and Morgana will be able to claim the throne for themselves and welcome in a new era. One where magic is welcomed.
After discovering he has a dark half, Merlin sets out to find a way to stop the upcoming war and free himself from his inner monster, but the way doesn't seem easy. With the help of a letter from his father, he must learn to overcome Emrys before Emrys takes full control.

Something Old, Something New
Merlin had long since given up that Arthur would return. He had moved on with his life, and was currently a detective in London. It was the year 2021, and Merlin was doing fine. He had friends. A best friend even, Iris, who was also his partner. He still missed Arthur, but he was no longer waiting for the prat's return. But when bodies start turning up with alarming similarities to things in Merlin's life, he dares to start hoping, that maybe, maybe it was time for Arthur's return. The background on the cover is not mine. I found it online and thought it looked cool so I added words on top of it. Also, Merlin belongs to bbc and the writers/creators of the show. Only the storyline and the OC's are mine.Complete
