Summary
Merlin knows there are men who would kill him for his magic. But he also knows some would not. He does not know how or when he learns it, only that he knows it.
He learns that while some would bring him death, there are some, who would take him away. Take him away from his mother and lock him up, force him to use magic for another man.
He does not know which fate is worse.
But that too, he will come to know.Men from the East will take you away, his mother said once. Men from the west will kill you. And anyone in between will either give you to the men from east or the men from the west or burn you themselves.

Merlin gets taken by the King's men as a child and forced to do the bidding of a different King, long before he ever hears the words destiny and fate.
