Well, one possible plot could be that Merlin learns more ancient magic from the druids. He might discover new ways to use his powers for the good of Camelot while living among them. Maybe he'll also find a sense of belonging that he didn't fully have in Camelot.
He might become more confident in his magic. Among the druids, his magic would be accepted and even celebrated. So he could practice more freely and learn new spells and techniques, which would boost his self - assurance. Also, he could develop a stronger sense of community as the druids live in a more close - knit way compared to the hierarchical structure of Camelot.
In such fanfictions, Merlin is often depicted as a revered figure. The druids might see him as a mentor or a savior. For example, he could be the one who brings new magical knowledge to the druids.
One possible plot could be that Merlin discovers a hidden dragon lair where he is accepted as one of their own. He learns dragon magic and uses it to protect Camelot in ways he couldn't before. Maybe he even rides the dragons into battle against powerful dark forces.
Well, perhaps Merlin discovers a hidden magic in the tower that is key to saving Camelot. He might have to face some dark spirits lurking there while he tries to master this new magic.
One idea could be Merlin using his druid powers to unite the different druid clans against a common enemy. Maybe a dark sorcerer is threatening the land and Merlin has to convince the sometimes reclusive druid groups to come together. Another could be Merlin exploring his connection to the ancient druid kings and what that means for his role in Camelot. He might discover long - lost prophecies or spells.
One common theme is the exploration of Merlin's hidden powers. Since the Druids are often associated with magic, fanfictions use them to help Merlin understand and master his abilities better. For example, he might learn new spells or ways of controlling his magic.
The revelation by the druids might make Merlin a target for the enemies of magic. His friends might also view him differently. Some could be in awe of his true capabilities, while others might be afraid. This would create a lot of tension and drama in the story.
Obviously, Merlin is a must - include character. He is the central figure with his druid powers and his connection to Camelot. Arthur should also be in it. His relationship with Merlin, especially as Merlin is delving deeper into his druid side, can create a lot of interesting dynamics. Gwen can be included as well. She has a kind heart and could play a role in bridging the gap between Camelot and the druids, maybe through her own understanding of the common people.
There's also 'Merlin and the Druid Prophecy'. This fanfiction focuses on a prophecy related to Merlin and the Druids. It has an exciting plot where Merlin must uncover the secrets of the prophecy to save Camelot. The characters are well - developed, and the descriptions of the Druidic magic are very vivid.
Sure. A lot of fanfictions in this vein delve into the spiritual and cultural aspects of the druids. Their worship of Merlin can be shown in different ways, like through elaborate rituals or by following Merlin's prophecies blindly. Some fanfic writers create really interesting plotlines where the druids' faith in Merlin becomes a central theme, leading to adventures and conflicts that are both exciting and thought - provoking.
