Wizards: The Inevitable

Spellbound

Author's Note ~

To be able to watch Wizards for the first time again, ugh! Be honest, who else missed our precious Jimmy because I know we did!

THE THEME SONG THOUGH! THOSE IMAGES AND HOW IT – SO BEAUTIFUL

This animation was beautifully done, and the storyline, oh my!

I was so mad about his troll form at the end of Trollhunters, and now I'm mad that Wizards took it away.... Weird.

ALSO THE DESIGNS FOR THE ARCANE ORDER! THEY WERE DESIGNED SO WELL I LOVE THEIR LOOKS!

Douxie sat in the worn, plush theater chair, his fingers gently running through Archie's soft, silky fur, which was curled up contentedly in his lap. As the dim lights flickered and the screen before them came to life, Douxie couldn't help but feel a growing sense of unease.

Merlin had summoned them to this strange, otherworldly place, and had been uncharacteristically hurried and tight-lipped, offering little explanation for why they were here or what they were about to witness. Douxie glanced down at Archie, the cat's eyes reflecting the shifting images on the screen, and wondered if his furry friend was thinking about the same underlying tension. What could possibly be so urgent that Merlin would cut short his usual lengthy lectures and discussions?

Douxie's mind raced with possibilities - was there some great threat looming on the horizon that required their immediate attention? He knew of what they were being attacked by only moments before, but they had faced numerous other things. Or perhaps Merlin had uncovered a revelation about their own pasts, something so profound that he felt the need to rush them here without delay.

However, before it could play, Mary spoke up, voicing the question on everyone's mind. "Excuse me, old dude. What exactly are we seeing? We didn't get much of a reunion or what is happening."

"We just saw each other like technically a day or two ago, after saying goodbye."

"I know, but I'm used to the reunions, it's weird being back so fast."

"You are seeing the future, that is all I can explain," Merlin answered, cutting Steve off.

"Okay, sure. But what next? Trolls, Aliens, now what?" Eli spoke up as Toby seemed concerned about Merlin's weird behavior.

Merlin sighed, "If we stopped asking questions, maybe we could get to it!"

"Sorry, but we have a right to ask," Darci said.

"Why don't we just give Merlin the chance to start," Barbara said suddenly. "We always get the answers." The crowd groaned, leaning back in their seats. They couldn't argue anymore, knowing that Barbara was right. Merlin sucked in a breath before he pushed the small button, any more questions going unasked.

The beginning starts with a gorgeous sun resting on the horizon, shining against the water as beautiful epic music played, the view moving through the clouds, flying near the trees. As the clouds cleared, Archie, the wizard cat that spoke to Steve, Toby, and Aaarrrgghh was the one moving through the skies, little wings sprouting from his sides as he moved closer to Camelot, resting on the side of a cliff.

The emblem of the castle was imprinted on a flag that the small dragon-cat hybrid had passed, words appearing on the screen, spelling out "Late 12th Century Camelot". Archie dove over men training in a small arena, swords clashing gently as they watched Archie soar through.

"Oh, we are going back in time," Eli said, fixing his posture as he grew curious. The crowd sat focused and curious about what they would be watching.

"I'm sorry, is that a cat with wings?" Krel asked as Archie smiled.
