A/N: Hello Everybody

It has been 5 years since I finished Inheritance and till this day, I still have messages that this story gets favourites and reviews.

You guys have no idea how much that has helped someday. When I have had a bad day (mainly because of work) and I get home to an email from FF telling me someone has liked or reviewed this silly little thing I created out of love of a show really makes me smile.

Because of this, I have decided to look for my old files and start on the sequel. I already have the first chapter finished and will start posting when I have a backlog of chapters all ready to go. This is because it took me 3 years to finish a 17-chapter fic and I want to do better this time. (It won't happen, I work weird hours and have two positions at my job that makes it so).

I can't promise that the spelling or grammar will be any better as my old beta is no longer active.

So, as a thank you, please enjoy below a summery and extract of the first chapter of Disownment.

Disownment

2 years has passed since Merlin got in touch with his dragonlord heritage and not all is well. Magic may be legal in Camelot now but there is still friction between the two sides. When Kilgharrah and Merlin grow sick, a quest must be undertook to learn the truth of the past.

Chapter 1

"Matthew Smith, you are charged with the crime of Murder via the use of enchantments. Do you have anything to say against these accusations?"

Merlin sighed heavily from where he was stood. It had been 2 years since that faithful time when he underwent the transformation into a dragon but there still was a feud between the Magical and non-magical community. Incidents such as this only made others think the worse of his kind.

The citizens of Camelot, those who lived through the brief rule of Morgana and Morgause, were still weary. And Merlin could sort of understand why.

They had had so few positive interactions from those with magic that these last two years caused them to eye anyone with the power suspiciously, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

In the first year, a mob had captured Merlin in the street, demanding that he realise the enchantment they believed he had cast on the king. It was only by the luck of the gods that the round table knights passed through, for the warlock refused to use magic to defend himself from the sacred townsfolk. Even now a few still whispered to each other about how Merlin had enchanted the royal family but, fortunately, their numbers were dwindling by the day.

In the magical community, many sorcerers were still suspicious about Arthur making magic mostly legal ( The expectations were for cases were it was used to commit another crime or to use enchantment to overrule the will of others). These souls believed the King was just leading them into a trap, gathering enough Sorcerers in one place willingly so that it would be easier to commit an even worse purge than the one done under the late Uther Pendragon's rule.

Others wanted recompense for over two decades of fear and percussion. Some just wanted gold, hoping to make it easier to set up a life and home in the kingdom. The most worrying ones wanted the knights and noblemen who still spoke out against them, few that there was, stripped of their titles and killed. A small number of them wanted Arthur himself to face 'justice' and magic users to be the upper class over those without.

Merlin and Arthur had worked hard to introduce new laws regarding magic use in a way that was fair to both sides, and in a way that would not cause to much turmoil for the kingdom. The voices of the two men were frequently heard arguing everything from if certain spells should be banned to if the court sorcerer position should have an official wardrobe. The knights, Gwen, Gaius and even Lord Geoffrey (who was surprisingly mostly agreeing with Merlin an Many points, much to the Warlocks pleasure) were dragging into the arguments, but eventually they settled to a point the council were, whilst not happy, at least agreeable about.
