Yeah. And it turns out that Merlin's 1st love wasn't Nimue but another wizard or sorceress or witch named Viviane.

She's suppose 2 be the OG Dark One. Because she cast a restraining spell on Merlin so that she could trap him in a tree in the woods. Ehich clarifies why he was turned into a tree in the 1st place.

And yes, Nimue is the Real Lady of the Lake. And Viviane is the very 1st Dark One, who learned the dark arts after she imprisoned Merlin.

CASE CLOSED!
