A/N: A new story about wizards and magic. You know, I love my Arthurian mythology, huh? But this can be read without knowledge of the actual legends, because it's my plot idea. Think of it as a story based on Arthurian mythology, rather than an actual part of it. After this chapter, it no longer fully adheres to the legends so loyally. It's more fun, I guess you could say, and the slash aspect of the plot moves forward, too.

Summary: To his mother, he is but a tool. To his father, a curse. Mordred lives his life in the shadows of a prophecy, foretelling the end of his father's empire. A chance meeting with Merlin's flighty yet powerful apprentice leaves him with more than just a faint attraction, but hope: Is it possible to overcome one's preordained fate? It is if one's a Wizard's lover.
