Free Writing - MERLIN

As stated at the beginning of the episodes of this series, “In a land of myth and at the time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young man, his mane: Merlin” this TV series is about a legend which is thought to have been around Albion, around England. There was a kingdom named Camelot and its king named The Arthur Pendragon. Before Arthur became a king, his father, Uther Pendragon, was on the throne. Because his wife was dead due to magic, The king, Uther, was against using magic and started killing people who had magical power. And the main character of the story, Merlin, was a servant boy of Arthur Pendragon. He was sent to Camelot by his mother to escape from the invaders. He had magic as well but kept this secret from his master, Arthur, so as not to be noticed and killed. The physican of the castle, Gaius, was the closest man to the king Uther. Merlin’s mother knew him, and entrusted Merlin to Gaius. Gaius knew that Merlin had magic and he also kept this secret from Uther.Merlin and Gaius lived in the same house, but in different chambers. And Morgana, daughter of Uther and sister of Arthur, had magic as well but she noticed this fact after a period of time passed. In the story magic could not be learned. It was gained from birth. It passed from parents to their children. Morgana had magic because her mother is different from Arthur’s mother. That is why Arthur had no magic. And Gwen, firstly the servant of Morgana but then The Queen of Camelot and Wife of Arthur Pendragon, was a daughter of a blacksmith who worked for the soldiers of the kingdom. She was a poor servant girl first, but when Uther Pendragon was killed by an enemy of the kingdom and Arthur sat on the throne, she became the Queen to the throne. If a story had magic and there was no dragons, it wouldnt be a good story. The Dragons in Camelot lived up to 1000 years and knew everything. They had strong breath. If they blew towards a sword, that sword turned into an Excalibur, which could kill the immortals. After Uther was killed, Arthur sat on the throne and started directing the whole kingdom. And Merlin became the closest man to the king. It was Merlin’s destiny to protect Arthur from his enemies. There were masters of each dragon and Merlin was the last dragon master who was still alive and this made him more responsible boy and he was in danger all the time. To sum up, the destiny of a kingdom rested on the shoulders of a young man.
