Author’s Note: I’m back!!!! I think, lol. I am so sorry for the epic delay between postings. I have been so busy with moving and then school. I literally have had no time to write. Thank you so much to everyone who continued to read this and who asked me to keep up with this story. Hopefully, I’ll be able to keep working on this a bit more regularly.

Author’s Note: So....I wrote a sequel to New Beginnings. I had a bunch of people say they wanted one and quite frankly I always intended to. This isn’t beta’d and I haven’t really gone over it for typos because I’m too impatient. Sorry.
Anyway, read and tell me what you think!

Author’s Note: This is a repost. I went over the reviews I got on ff.net, and there were a couple who really thought that Gwen was OOC. When I went back and reread the chapter, I realized that I had gone a little more off the beaten path than I’d intended. Hopefully this fixes things. Because this is an AU fic, I’m not entirely backtracking with Gwen. I want her to work with Merlin because I think that in the long run, her knowledge of his powers will help Arthur. There’s a little more explanation for my decision in the chapter and in the AN at the end. If you still think she’s too OOC, then I’m sorry, but that’s what I needed to do for the fic to work. Let me know what you think.
I’d like to thank Maya Tamika for reviewing every chapter so far. Her praise has done me wonders. I’d also like to point out that when I started this fic, I hadn’t actually seen season three. I had no idea that there were wyverns in the episode with the Fisher King. I just picked a creature to use. Sorry for any confusion.

Author’s Note: This is to Mark, who sent me a review on the last chapter. He had a couple of questions that I’d like to answer. I know it’s a little OOC for Gaius to say that Merlin wouldn’t dare use evil magic and I know that it’s a little weird for Arthur to have just let the whole Morgause thing drop after he brought it up, but I thought in both cases that the conversation between Arthur and Gaius had gone on for so long that it needed to end. I just felt that going into all of that in the second chapter was a little too much, not only for the chapter, but for Arthur to deal with. However, all of that will be explained and explored later in the fic.

Author's Note: So this is my first foray into the Merlin fandom. I've been a fan of the show since I stumbled across an episode when it was still airing on NBC, but fell off the bandwagon when I went to college. I only recently got caught up through season 2 (which is all that's on Netflix) and this little story has been tickling the back of my mind ever since. I know the whole "reveal" thing has been done...a lot...but I wanted to try my hand.
Also, it was late when I wrote this. There are probably lots of typos...I suck at catching them, even when I'm actually awake.
