    Queen Mab was ruler of the land of magic and was very kind.  But when the old ways were threatened by the new religions, she became cold, bitter, a fighter.  With her servant Frik, she began to fight.  She decided to in aid the help of her sister, the Lady of the Lake.  She decided not to help because she accepted that there time was soon to end.  Mab returned to her home, using her strongest magic, and created a powerful wizard who would return the people to the old ways.  Nine months later, Merlin was born.  She let his mother die and had one of her few followers, Ambrosia, take care of him.  When he was in his mid teens, she sent for him.  He came and She and Frik trained him in the old ways, but he wanted to go home.  Mab went back to Ambrosia to make him return to her, but she accidentally killed her.  Merlin saw this and made a promise never to use his magic.

    Years later, she had a soothsayer try to have Merlin killed so Lord Vortigern could build a castle.  Instead, he put Merlin in Prison.  Then Mab came to Vortigern and told him to sacrifice Nimue, Merlin's love, to the Great Dragon and have Merlin watch.  Vortigern did so and Merlin used his magic to save her, but she was scared by fire.  Mab was impressed.

    Years later, she damned the child of King Euthor, so he would follow his fathers foot steps.  His son was named Author.  Merlin took him to the sword in the stone and before Author removed it, Mab came to the Mountain King and told him not to let him have it.  Author tried to pull the sword, beating Mab and became king.  Using Morgan Le Fey, Mab made them have a child who would make the people return to the Old Ways.  He was named Mortared.

    Mab went to Nimue and offered her restoration of her face if she took Merlin to a place where they would stay forever.  She refused but Mab told her that if she ever changed her mind, call her name out loud.  She helped raise Mortared with Morgan and Frik, who were in love with each other.  When Mortared was older, Mab got him ready to take to the Land of Magic.  Morgan disagreed and Mab killed her.  Frik objected, so Mab removed his powers to let him roam the Earth alone and ugly.

    Nimue called Mab, she restored her and sent her to a special place.  Mab disguised herself as a Father, but Merlin saw through it and she told her that Nimue was at a special spot and he went to see her.  While Author and Mortared fought, Merlin went to them, and the cave in which Nimue was in sealed itself up.  He went to see Author.  Author and Mortared had killed each other.  Mab felt it and went to Mortared.  she couldn't save him and she felt very angry.   Mab met Merlin in Camelot and the fought a brief battle and then Merlin and the entire population just decided to forget about her.  She felt herself draining away.  Then, she disappeared.  After her disappearance, her spells began to where off.

    A sad and tragic death for one of such beauty.
