A/N: Hi guys! This is the start of a new Multi-chapter Fic i've been working on. I'm currently on Chapter five so I'm going to give you all the prolog and 1st chapter now and see if I should continue it. Basically this is my attempt to put together all of the plot holes from the show and add a bit of the old legends to the story. The only thing I changed that is technically not cannon is Morgauses age, and really they never said it so...

Warnings- Implied sex, but i won't get too gross, Implied underage- suppose to go more with the time period but you have been warned.

DON"T LOOK TOO CLOSELY AT THE COVER IMAGE IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS! its a family tree of how everyone in this fic is related and it's really for later on if you get confused.

I'll try to update every week if there is anyone interested.

Thank you for reading!

Arthur's eyes snapped open and he gazed up at a rock ceiling. Confused, he looked around and found himself in a dark cave, a pool of water at its center. By the pool, her feet dangling in the water, sat a beautiful young woman with long blond hair and bright blue eyes. She had birthmark on her left temple that looked like an eight pointed star.

"Ah, good. Your awake" she greeted him with an impish smile that was somehow familiar. Arthur slowly got to his feet and reached for his sword, only to find he wasn't wearing it.

"Who are you? Where are we? How did I get here?" He demanded in quick secession.

"Well, aren't you full of questions?" She said patronizingly, then giggled at him "All in good time, Arthur."

"I'll ask you again only once, how did I get here?" Arthur demanded in his kingly voice that usually made everyone (except for Merlin) obey him instantly. But like Merlin, the strange woman seemed to be immune to his orders, and when she answered him she did so with a sigh.

"You're not. Here that is. This place doesn't actually exist. You're still asleep in your bed, but your consciousness is here through your dreams."

"What?" he spluttered. Arthur's confused expression was as far from regal as you could get. Then it hit him and he backed up until his back hit the stone wall.

"Sorcery." He hissed, glaring at the woman. She just nodded and smiled at him like he was a child who had just hissed that the sky was blue.

"What do you want, to kill me? To get revenge for something I've done to you?"

"No, I don't want to kill you King Arthur. And I don't want revenge, although you might once we're done here…. I want to show you the truth."

"Truth? What truth?" He said "Why would I want revenge on you?"

For the first time the sorceress smile faltered, and she gave him a sorrowful look that seemed to wish he had asked anything but that. She nodded, resolving herself to speak the hard truth.

"Because I am the reason for the great purge, I am the reason you lost your mother."

Anger and disbelief flared up in Arthur. He had to remind himself that this woman was a powerful sorceress to try and restrain himself from attacking her with his bare hands. As it was he settled for opening and closing his fists and trying to control his breathing.

"You are the sorceress who used magic to attack my mother?!" He seethed. The woman looked heartbroken at his words and made a move like she wanted to go over and embrace him.

"Stay back!" He screamed and pressed himself against the wall, trying to maintain space.

"Oh Arthur, no" She cooed, and he wished she'd stop using his first name in such a familiar fashion "I would never do anything to hurt her. You see, my very existence is what set the wheels of fate into motion. I was never supposed to have been born."

"W-what?" He stuttered, utterly confused and suddenly thinking that maybe this sorceress wasn't in her correct mind.

"It's a long story." She admitted with a sad smile, then suddenly her eyes grew passionate. "But no one knows the truth anymore, no one remembers what really happened! All the people who were in a position to know the whole truth are dead now, and I can't let this story, my story, be forgotten. "

"Also," She said with a knowing smile "The balance of knowledge is greatly shifted out of your favor. Others have pieced together bits and pieces of what happened, but none know everything. The events that happened in the past have great sway over your kingdom, even those closest to you now. I wish to rectify that balance by informing you of the truth."

"I will never again believe the lies that come from the mouths of sorcerers!"

The woman rolled her eyes in a very Merlinish fashion.

"That's why I'm not going to tell you, I'm going to show you."

Arthur wanted to be strong. He wanted to tell the strange woman and her magic to go to hell and leave him alone, but his curiosity was peaked. And unlike the majority of the other magic users he had encountered, she was calm and didn't seem threatening. If anything the woman seemed like she genuinely wanted to help.

"Show me what?" Arthur said before he could stop himself.

"The past." She whispered and held out her hand. Arthur slowly inched forward, step by step across the cave floor, until he could reach out and take her hand. She led him to the water's edge and pointed to the smooth surface.

"Watch" She commanded. Arthur did and when the woman dipped he hand in the water, the ripples that spread out across the surface started to glow and shimmer until he could see an image just beneath the surface…..
