Ah, that is kind of amazing. It's really creepy, and so appropriate for the change in mindset that came over him when she died.

Thank you! I definitely see Igraine's death as the catalyst for his anti-magic zealotry.

This is such an interesting idea, and very well written. It makes me hope that the series gives us some more detail on Uther and Gaius' pasts! And the end is perfectly chilling...

Thanks! I'd love to see a little more about the old days, too, and learn more about what shaped these two.
