1 The Great Dragon Mage vs The Mad Druid

Part 1

The fight

This story takes place during Camlann.

King Arthur looked on at the army his son had brought against him.

" Mordred has brought the Wild Hunt… " said the King surprised.

Arthur now looked at Merlin, and saw that Merlin was staring off into the distant forest.

" He is here… " uttered Merlin with nervous surprise.

" Merlin, " said Arthur.

" Yes!..... what is it my dollophe-I mean! My lord? " said Merlin as all the knights let out a giggle.

But instead of being angry, the King said;

" What troubles you? "

Merlin was quiet.

" My King… "

" What is it? "

" I must leave… "

" You would leave me, when I need you the most? "

Merlin was quiet as he walked away.

" Merlin! " yelled the King.

" Sire…. "

" Just make sure that you return back to me " said Arthur, with a smile which Merlin did not see.

" Of course…. my lord " said Merlin with a pure joy smile.

As Merlin was walking towards the strange presence he was feeling, Archimedes, Merlin's pet owl said;

" Sir, how is it possible that HE is here? "

" I wish I could tell you…. but for now, let us see what happens, " said Merlin as he now arrived at Stonehenge.

In the middle of all the rocks, stood a man, an ancient Druid.

Merlin walked up to the man.

Merlin lowered his hood, looked at the man, and then said;

" Myrddin Wyllt "

" Ambrosius "

" People just call me Merlin "

" Why do they use your last name? " said the Druid confused.

" That has been bothering me as well… " said Archimedes, from Merlin's shoulder.

" I couldn't tell either of you, " said Ambrosius Merlin with a smile.

" Myrddin, what are you doing here? " asked Merlin.

" I am sure that you can sense it… " said Myrddin with a smile.

And sure enough, Merlin could sense that there was something off about Myrddin's existence.

" Your will is not your own… The Morrigan has revived you..." said Merlin with a compassionate smile.

Wyllt simply nodded.

And Ambrosius immediately knew what was about to happen.

" Archimedes, " said Merlin.

" Yes, sir? "

Merlin let out a smiling sigh.

" Go and watch over Arthur in my place…"

" Sir… what are you saying? " said Archimedes, surprised.

" I may not survive- said Merlin while looking at Myrddin- so go, and watch over the King for me "

" BUT SIR! You promised the King tha- Merlin now caught Archimedes off;

" I know my promise, I made it, but I fear that I may not be able to keep it… " said Merlin, as he was checking his armor, cloaked-hood and his clothes.

Archimedes knew that his master had no choice in the matter, so he said only;

" Just try and return back to the King… and me " said the owl as he flew off.

Merlin smiled.

He then said;

" Do you mind that we take this battle to Avalon? I don't think that Earth would survive a clash between us. And besides, it was hard work making Stonehenge " said the prophet with a smile.

Myrddin nodded, as a sign that he did not mind.

And so.

The two legendary magus teleported to the sacred island of Avalon.

This grand battle was about to begin, but it seemed like Myrddin was faster.

The Mad Druid's eyes glowed, as Merlin was now trapped in a maelstrom of fire.

" The flames of Gehenna.. " uttered Merlin, as was being overwhelmed.

Myrddin just looked on.

Merlin fell to his knees, as his senses were about to give up, but then he heard a voice, from deep within his soul;

" Young Warlock. We will achieve great things together, you and I. As one "

Merlin now blew away the flames.

Myrddin could now see that Merlin's body was covered in scales, he had wings and horns and glowing eyes like a great dragon.

" I see. You and Kilgharrah have become as one, in mind, body and soul " said Myrddin impressed and a bit scared.

" We. I am the Great Dragon Mage " said Merlin/Kilgharrah, with glowing yellow eyes.

From out of thin air Merlin made a sword.

" Why do I feel such ancient power coming from that sword… " said Myrddin.

" This sword is the first Excalibur, the first Caliburn. It was Nimue and I who made Excalibur and we used this sword as a prototype. It is known as; the sacred sword " said The Great Dragon Mage as he readied his Sacred Sword.

From thin air, Myrddin brought forth his sacred Staff.

" This is going to be a lot of fun " said The Mad Druid.

To say that a grand and legendary battle began, was putting it mildly.

The two ancient and wise magush utilized every form of their craft, from the elements, to gravity and even to the magic of space itself.

Everything was weaponized.

The kind of magic that was displayed would have made even great King Solomon feel inadequate.

In the end.

The Great Dragon Mage was victorious.

As Merlin had dealt the killing blow to Myrddin, the Mad Druid said;

" Finally, I can have relief and peace… "

Ambrosius fixed the damage to Avalon.

He then said;

" Thank you, Kilgharrah "

" Think nothing of it, Great Dragon Mage " said Kilgharrah with what sounded like a smile.

Part 2

The family

Merlin knew what had happened at Camlann.

He also knew that he was going to have to live in Avalon while watching over Arthur.

So Merlin decided to bring his family along with him to Avalon, his wife; Guendoloena, and his two children;

Daughter = Ruhtra

Son = Nilrem

(These two would later become the students of Se-Osiris)

Merlin now embraced his children.

" Father! " said Nilrem.

" We knew that you could do it… " said Ruhtra.

Merlin just held his children thightly.

Ambrosius now turned to his wife.

" My love " said Merlin.

Husband and wife now kissed.

They then embraced.

" I knew that you would come back to me… " said Guendoloena, with tears in her eyes.

Merlin kissed his wife on the cheek.

" I must go and check on the King " said Merlin.

" We will be here, waiting for you " said Guendoloena.

" Hurry back dad! " yelled both Nilrem and Ruhtra.

Part 3

The reunion

Merlin walked to a different location in Avalon, it was then, he saw him, his King.

" So, you kept your promise? "

" Of course I did, my King Arthur "

The mage and King now embraced, as Archimedes flew back on Merlin's shoulder.

" So, what now? " asked Archimedes.

" Now, Arthur becomes the Ferry-King, and shall greet all his knights who come to Avalon " said Merlin.

" And I can't wait to greet them all with a warm hug " said Arthur with a smile.

" Well, here is our first knight " said Archimedes.

Arthur and Merlin now saw, as Mordred had now entered Avalon.

Father and son looked eyes.

Arthur walked towards Mordred.

" Father I- but before Mordred could finish, Arthur gave his son a big hug.

" Welcome, my son "

Mordred cried as he held his father tightly.

" There is someone who has been waiting for you " said Arthur.

Mordred looked, but he did not believe his own eyes.

" Klara… " uttered Mordred in joy and disbelief.

Mordred and Klara now embraced, while both were crying.

" I am so sorry… I failed you… I let you die… " uttered Mordred through his tears and sobbing.

" You did no such thing. You were, and are, the joy of my excistence. I love you with all my soul " said Klara in a joyful tone.

Arthur could not help but let out a tear, at seeing his son happy and at peace.

" So. Now we wait. And I shall welcome all my knights, and when the day comes, when Briton is at her darkest hour, we shall all, the knights of beloved Camelot, come to her aid " said the Ferry-King of Avalon.

Bonus;

At the Solomon islands.

Stood the Great Dragon Mage and the Wise-King.

" I see that you have the aid of Kilgharrah " said Solomon.

Merlin nodded.

" Well. I have the aid of my dragon, the Sabbath-Dragon " said the Wise-King as he now had scales, wings and horns.

" What about your demons? " said Merlin, also with scales, wings and horns.

" My demons would not be able to beat you, Merlin, for it takes a great dragon mage to beat a great dragon mage �� said Solomon with a smile.

A battle now began, which resulted in new forms of magic being created.
