Hunith looked up at her son as they stood outside their small hut. The sun was slowly rising in the morning sky, and the light caught Merlin's dark hair and made it glow. It was cool, and she shivered but not just because of the cold, she knew.
This hut had been their home together for many years, she couldn't imagine not having her son around, and that one thought almost made her turn back on what she knew she had to do.

His features would be forever embedded in her heart, her very soul.
