Great Britain, random hospital

"Bullshit.T..T...T....T Whaaaaaaah!!." Cried the baby. "Haha, it's a healthy baby boy." Said the Doctor. After a few seconds, a voice spoke amidst the crying. "Please give me my baby." It a weak voice. Of course, it was the woman who just gave birth. The nurse, hearing the woman, quickly cleaned the baby and handed him to the mother, who took the child in her arms with extreme care.

"Ah, my adorable baby boy," The mother spoke gently, well rocking the baby. The baby slowly stopped crying while staring at his mother and, with a slight smile, started to touch her chin. "That's right, little guy. I'm your mommy; unfortunately, I won't be able to see you grow up" The mother spoke with tears running down her eyes. "Doctor, her pulse is dropping," A nurse noticed. The staff immediately began emergency procedures while the mother continued to speak to her baby. "But don't worry my little Merlin, I'm confident you'll be okay, so grow up big and strong. And remember mommy love's you so very much; sweet dreams, my elfin Mer..lin.....

On March 23rd, 1979, The woman whose only known name was Penny, passed away after giving birth to her son Merlin. And as if baby Merlin understood, he began to cry louder and louder, causing the nurse to take the baby away quickly. As the nurse took the boy away, strange things started to occur with Merlin's cry. *SWOOSH* all windows the nurse passed started to open, letting the cold night wind pass through *Shhhhhaahha* the wind crawled by. *squeak* The nurse came to a halt, and with a slow turn, she looked behind her, yet there was nothing. "Waah," Merlin's cries brought the nurse back to reality. "Oh, I'm sorry little guy. I don't know what came over me. To think I would space out after what happened to you. But don't worry, I'm sure your family will come soon."

Sadly they will never come, but something much better occurred elsewhere in a dimly lit room; an old book slowly opened, and with its opening, a quill just as old started to float. "What do we have here? A new wizard has been born. Let us see who the lucky child is." A mature yet curious voice spoke. As the voice made its way to the book, the quill began to write, and in less than a second, it wrote one simple word, Merlin. "Merlin's beard, it's Merlin." The voice was surprised. "It must be a squibs family as no wizarding family would dare to use his name, but, strangely, there's no last name. It doesn't matter Clortho welcomes all." The voice smiled.

Eleven years later, the location is Madame Charlotte's orphanage. "WAKE UP, YA BRATS." A furious voice roared throughout the orphanage. This was madame Charlotte, the orphan keeper, a kid hating older woman. After the shout, the sounds of kids could be heard, and within a minute, seven kids appeared, four boys and three girls to be exact. But strangely enough, our friend Merlin was nowhere to be seen. "Good, your all here its time for breakfast. Skater." Madame spoke. "Yes, Madame?" A short chubby kid answered. Madame "It is your turn to feed it today." She gave the boy his task. "Do I have to, Madame? I don't like it down there is dark and scary." The boy named Skater pleaded not to go, but Madame wouldn't budge. "I don't care. Everyone has to do it, so go or no breakfast."

With reluctance, Skater grabs a plate with some white paste and what looked to be molded bread on it and made his way to a door riddled with locks. After a few seconds of removing all the locks, the door slowly creaked opened, and what appeared was a hallway pitch-black as if light couldn't reach down it. But the boy, having been down it plenty of times, took each step carefully and made his way down a flight of stairs. Each step made a creaking sound, and not before long another door appeared.

"Haaahoo, You can do this, Skater; all you have to do is put the plate down and leave." The boy began to ready himself, and with shaky hands, slowly opened the door. *creeeeeeak*. A long and creepy noise came from the door. With the door opened, Skater slowly looked forward, bringing his eyes to a truly bone-chilling sight. The mutilated corpse of a child hung from his hands. ⁓whoosh⁓ an ice-cold breeze escaped the room, bringing about a stench so foul it would churn even the most hardened of men. "wheeze...wheeze...wheeze...". A gut-wrenching sound filled the room, and it came from the corpse. "G..good he still alive he..hello Merlin its time to eat," Yes sadly this is our Merlin reduced to nothing but a broken body "wheeze...wheeze." Was all that responded Skater hearing Merlin's response quickly slide the plate over and dashed out the room slamming the doors closed.

A few minutes later, the body of Merlin started to move "WHEEZE WHEEZE." With each painful movement, Merlin got closer to the food. Now being only an arms reach away from the plate, Merlin lifted his head, and what came into view would freeze anyone's blood. Empty eyes that pierced the soul came to view; it was as if Merlin's body was but an empty shell devoid of life.

Merlin reached out his arm. "Wheeze, Whee....." Merlin froze as in front of him a woman had appeared. "Hello, my little scientist its been a while." Void's smooth voice filled Merlin's mind. "V...oid," Merlin spoke. "Hmm, interesting even though your only a shell, you still remember me." Void said to the shell. "V..oid" The shell spoke again. "Yes, what is it?" Void asked. "Ki..ll kill me." The shell asked with tears flowing out of its eyes. "Ooh, my little scientist, I can't do that; your life has only just begun." Void spoke with a sweet smile. "So it's time to wake up, Merlin." Void reached out her arm, poking Merlin right in the forehead.

Feeling Void's poke, Merlin felt like a bolt of electricity rushed through his body, and slowly the light returned to his eyes. "Huuuuaa." Merlin gasped. *Crack* Like shattered glass, thousands of images and memories played in his mind. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!." Pain couldn't describe what he was feeling. All the years of pain and suffering his body went through that he experienced in that second.

It took half an hour before Merlin finally stopped screaming or more so that his throat couldn't produce any more sound. "Void, what the hell was that?" Merlin asked in a raspy voice. But his words fell to silence. Looking around, Merlin noticed Void wasn't there anymore. "Great, she isn't here." Merlin sat up against the wall. "What a shit new life." Merlin cursed with a smile.
