The boat glided slowly over the water, rippling slightly. Left behind the small wooden bridge and the light of the moon, entering the dense fog that hovered over the lake.
The slight wind that blew was moving plan the black flag at the back of man sitting in the boat.
She pressed more in the mantle, while in front of him, the thick fog, the island appeared. When the small boat touched the shore, the man fell, his foot sinking into the wet earth. His feet sank into the mud, on his way toward the center of the island.
The ruins around him appeared little by little, until he caught sight of the altar.
Then he stopped, waiting, as the mist rose up, allowing you to see everything.
"Gaius." The female voice that greeted him was that he sought.
"My lady." Replied the man, lowering his head. "I'm here to Uther." He continued, close to her, a few steps.
The woman's lips ripple into a smile.
"I know." Slowly murmured, tilting his head slightly to one side. "I saw . "
Gaius watched as he approached the altar, situated at the exact center of the island.
"My skills have not betrayed me so far. And I doubt they will. "She said, more to himself that same man.
"Nimueh, my lady, the king wants to know if .... If you can ."
"You said that you, Gaius?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I told him that only the Ancient Religion can help. Only you, my lady. "Told her. "If not you will be able to help, then the king should give up the idea of not having heirs." He added, looking at the ground.
In response the woman chuckled, making looking up to Gaius. "I underestimate, Gaius. "
Nimueh gave him away for a moment and turned around. The cup in his hand, appeared out of nowhere, shone the faint moonlight.
"And so the barren wife of King needs my help." She whispered to herself with a grin, staring at the cup.
pronounced a formula to Gaius unknown and the sky darkened suddenly, before large drops of rain began to fall, tapping on the mantle of man. As soon as the cup was filled, the water ceased to fall.
"Please drink this the queen and wait. Uther's son who longs to come soon. "He began, emptying the glass in a small vial that Gaius pulled out from under his cloak.
"Thank you, my lady." The man said, lowering his head slightly, a sign of gratitude.
"It reminds the king ..." he added Nimueh, staring with her eyes as blue as the sea. "... There will be a price to pay ." He added, seriously. "The balance of the world must be restored." He murmured, away from Gaius.
The fog just before he came back, and Nimueh disappeared altogether.
A Camelot silence ruled supreme. In the courtyard of the castle had gathered a lot of people, waiting. From the rooms came a glimmer of King Uther, caused by candles that were being slowly consumed by the bed, where he was Ygraine Pendragon, the king's wife.
Everyone was waiting. From the people to the servants, maids from the king. Awaiting the birth of the heir to Uther, who until then had hoped in vain that his wife became pregnant. The king walked
back and forth several times before the heavy wooden door of the room, head down, staring at the floor. It was only when he heard that sound so much since he stopped and his eyes lit up with hope. The weak
baby's crying filled the bedroom, surpassing even the wooden door, and for a moment Uther Pendragon sighed with relief. But fear took hold of her heart when the cry was followed by the URL harrowing Ygraine.
The king opened the door and rushed into the room while the scream of the woman was dying slowly. He approached her, without looking that much-desired son, who was now in the arms of one of the maids. The queen was lying in bed, brown hair scattered on the pillow beneath her white, with bright eyes and stared at the ceiling above him. Breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling rhythmically, while others lament came from the throat. The baby's crying got louder.
"No ." Uther murmured, caressing the pale face of his wife plan. "No." she repeated, shaking him a woman. Ygraine floor trembled in his arms, his eyes empty fixed in front of her.
"Arthur ..." Ygraine faintly whispered, before closing his eyes. Forever.
Uther stood, leaning his forehead with his lips moist with sweat from his wife, now dead. His wish was fulfilled, as Nimueh had promised, but the price turned out to be much too high.
"No ." The voice broke Uther died altogether, as the tears began to fall.
"I came to ask for your help."
"As you did before, for Uther. You did not like the result. "
" I offer you sin to expiate the guilt of death of his wife. "

Endnotes.
First of all, thanks for being here again. This is my third fiction on Merlin (the second I have not posted because it participates in a contest) and after seeing the episode 1x13 I wanted to write something that was pre-season.
Regarding Ygraine I based on what I found on the Internet, since there is no description for her. In Arthurian legend
Ygraine "was at first the wife of Gorlois, Duke of Cornwall. Later he fell in love Uther Pendragon, and it is said that thanks to a spell operated by Merlin, the two lovers had the chance to meet, one night, and was thus conceived Arthur. Following the death of Gorlois, she could become queen alongside Uther. "(From Wikipedia) In
Nimueh Merlin, at the request of Uther, makes Ygraine get pregnant, but the price to pay for you to live Arthur is the death of his mother.
