Juliana has been Prince Arthur's healer for over a year, when her brother Merlin comes to join her in Camelot. After learning that it is the siblings destiny to guide Arthur to become the Once and Future king, Juliana also finds out she is destined...
No young man, no matter how great, can know his destiny. He cannot glimpse his part in the great story that is about to unfold. Like everyone, he must live and learn. And so it will be for the young warlock arriving at the gates of Camelot. A boy that will, in time, father the legend. His name: Merlin.
Merlin let out an exhausted sigh, "Are we there yet?" he asked his elder sister for what felt like the hundredth time that day.
Juliana turned back to look at him with a smirk, "What's the matter, little brother, tired already?"
He stopped and gave Juliana a suspicious frown, "I think you have gotten us lost on purpose."
She let out a soft laugh, "Oh Merlin, will you calm yourself. We're here, see?"
Just as they came to the top of the hill, there stood the magnificent kingdom of Camelot.
"Welcome to Camelot, Merlin."
The siblings stood there; Merlin staring at Camelot and Juliana watching her little brother's face. She waited until he was ready before they began their trek once again.

Juliana and Merlin were the children of Hunith; Both children were born gifted; and while Merlin was gifted with vast power and a great destiny, Juliana was imparted with powerful healing abilities. She had traveled to Camelot not long after her sixth and tenth name day so that she could apprentice under their uncle, Gauis, who was the Court physician for the royal family in Camelot. Now, a year later too many people had come to know of Merlin's power in their village and Hunith was worried about him so she was sending him to Camelot as well.
As they were nearing the city gates, Merlin decided to run ahead of his sister and see what this grand city had to offer. When he made it inside, however, he was in for a horrifying awakening. Standing on one of the castle balconies was King Uther, performing an execution.
Merlin had stopped long enough for Juliana to catch up with him, and now they were both watching the spectacle, standing at the back of the gathered crowd. To the right there were two guards holding a man as they led him on to the platform.
Everyone in the square had quieted as King Uther began to speak, "Let this serve as a lesson to all. This man, Thomas James Collins, is adjudged guilty of conspiring to use enchantments and magic. And, pursuant to the laws of Camelot, I,Uther Pendragon, have decreed that such practices are banned on-penalty of death. I pride myself as a fair and just king, but for the crime of sorcery, there is but one sentence I can pass."
He raises his arm, then lowers it as a signal to the executioner and Juliana had to turn and bury her headin her brother's shoulder to avoid watching the horrific sight as he placed a comforting arm around her, but by the sounds of the onlooker's gasps the execution had come to an end.
"When I came to this land," Juliana looked back up to see the king speaking again, "this kingdom was mired in chaos, but with the people's help magic was driven from the realm. So I declare a festival to celebrate twenty years since the Great Dragon was captured and Camelot freed from the evil of sorcery. Let the celebrations begin."
