I cannot praise your creativity regarding the plot of this story enough. The way all the events flowed so naturally… Masterful

This was INCREDIBLE! All the plot twists, a very intriguing villain, involving Kilgharrah and Freya… this kept me excited through the entire fic and is definitely ones of the best Merlin stories out there. Thank you for sharing!

What an amazing story! I haven't felt genuinely scared for Merlin in a fic for a while. Very well done and the way you did it felt very realistic. Wonderful!

GOLLY?! Who says that LMAOO. I died when Gwaine said that.

Daneir's story doesn't make logical sense, but I guess we can chalk it up to insanity.

Gwaine's a good friend to notice.

Terrible idea. This is going to go horrendously wrong - I can smell it.

Okay... seeing as there's like 16 more chapters, I'd say it didn't.

This is an amazing story

Ah! All makes sense now. Really enjoyed reading this (and all of your other fics). Also, Gwaine saying Golly cracked me up.

Hmmm but why wouldn't Merlin just use the amulet to control Nigel instead? Although maybe just too risky in case it didn't work. Will have to read on and find out. :) Liking it so far though!

This is great!

I kinda wanted Merlin to just smile when Neigel said that he would tell Arthur that Merlin has magic and say, 'you're welcome to try, I've said it once and he laughed at me.'

Bravo once again! Loved having Gwaine as Merlin's pseudo-older brother. He's almost the definition of swashbuckler and his banter with "the princess" is always priceless. You always have such great plotlines
and OC's. The use of Kilgarrah and for Freya to come to Merlin's aid worked so well.

Thanks again for an exciting read late into the night like I was a kid again

absolutely completely brilliant story. Just. Brilliant 3
