Dark!Merlin - Ultimate Power

What’s the use of having powers if it can’t save the ones you love? The overwhelming responsibility bestowed upon Merlin, along with the burden of guilt for the deaths of his friends, pushes him over the edge. Merlin’s gentle soul has shattered, the full extent of his powers now reins uninhibited, and it consumes him. The once prophesied Emrys now lives, but it’s too early; too wrong. An alternate scenario for the Merlin storyline. __________________________________________
