Warning: the characters will be a little OOC especially Uther. The characters ages may be a little wrong. Also I am not British so as far as the accent goes I'll only be using Mum and that's about it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin only the plot.

Chapter 1

Nineteen years ago Uther's P.O.V

I was riding my horse through a neighboring kingdom in the disguise of a traveler looking to pick up some odd jobs. Don't get me wrong I love being king it's just that even after two years my wife Ygraine's death still ways heavily on my mind. To make matters worse every time I see my son I see her in him, and it makes my heart fill like it is going to overflow with the pain I fill. While I was lost in thought I failed to notice where I was going. Then suddenly I heard some one yell " Look out your going to be hit."

Hunith's P.O.V

I was thinking about today's events when I heard "Look out your going to be hit" I looked up and saw that a man in his thirties was riding his horse though the town and his horse was moving quite fast and it was coming towards me, it seems like the man has also just noticed that I was standing there and is trying to make his horse stop. I was trying to move, but my legs refused to move. Then just when he was a little ways away from me his horse finally stopped. Now I can get good look at him I can say he is quite handsome with his broad shoulders and strong facial features, but the most stunning feature about him is his eyes there are bluer then the sky and deeper then any lake. Another feature that I find adds to his overall looks his that his hair is starting to gray.

Uther's P.O.V

Once I got my horse to stop I got a look of the person I was about to hit, what I saw took away my breath There stood a beautiful woman in her late twenties with long wavy brown hair and eyes that were only a few shades different to mine. Her face looked like a delicate flower that could wilt any time, but looking into her eyes I still saw a bit of the fear she just felt but I also saw her will to not let it show that she was scared. Then I remembered what just happened and before I knew it I heard my self shout "Why don't you watch were you are going a could of hit you." Once I was finished yelling I saw her face twist in anger Then she yelled " Why don't you watch were your going you could of seriously hurt me and all you do is yell why don't you go find some other village to terrorize." At first I was surprised she would talk to a king that way even if I'm not her king then I remembered that I'm dressed as a traveler. "I'm sorry miss it is also my fault and I would like to make it up to you by helping you out for the rest of the time I am here." as soon I those words left my mouth I saw her face get a mischievous grin and her eyes sparked with amusement. After I saw that I knew I was going to regret my decision to make it up to her. With a sigh I say "My name is Charels its a pleasure to meet you."

Hunith's P.O.V

I heard the man say his name is Charels. This Charels fellow is going to be in for one tough time if he wants to make it up to me. I saw the look in his face after he told me he would help me. I saw the look of worry after he saw my reaction. My smile deepened and I said" My names Hunith it's a real pleasure Charels."
