Summary
Set immediately after the end of Season/Series 2, Uther finds out that Arthur has yet to “claim” his manservant. Having given the boy to his son with just such a purpose in mind, Uther decides that if Arthur isn’t going to use Merlin, he will. The act of forcing himself upon the young warlock reveals that the boy possesses certain physical anomalies that prove him a Dragonlord and grants Uther control over Merlin's gifts. Whatever Uther demands, Merlin must comply. However, the hand of destiny is a strange one and by usurping Arthur’s intended position in Merlin’s life, Uther “inherits” his son’s destiny with this act. With Merlin’s vast powers at his command he forcibly unites all the lands of Albion under his harsh and tyrannical rule, continuing to hunt down & seek to destroy all magic users he can't control…as well as any others foolish enough to oppose him. Arthur is forced into a position where he must seek unlikely allies to stop his father’s reign of terror & rescue Merlin from his enslavement under his father’s hand.
The 2 Most Brutal Scenes have been marked so that anyone who wishes to can avoid them & skip to the rest of the story. It's pretty self-explanatory .
