My name is Merlin. I live with my mother and father in a small village called Ealdor.The name from my mother is Noibe. The name from my father is Keie. I was born with magic, so I have to live in constant vigilance. My parents don't find it safe anymore, so they send me away. They say if I keep moving no one will get me. But if it does happen I have to die because magic is forbidden. "be careful my boy" Mother said as she kissed my forehead. "Good luck my son," said my father, hugging me. I went out the door. As I walked away, I turned around again, but kept walking.

I have been a traveler for a year now. I travel around the world and meet new people every day. Today I'm on my way to Camelot. But I just want to rest there. When I arrived, I saw someone being beheaded. The king spoke to his people, but that does not interest me. I built up my camp and made myself comfortable. I heard that today in the evening is a celebration. I'll go to it. It's prince Arthur's birthday so many people will be there.

(3 hours later)

I'm curious how the prince is. I don't know him, I did not even see him. I went the big stairs up into the huge castle. Everywhere are knights and menservants. When I arrived in the hall, many people danced around. The music was loud and at the end of the hall was a long table with food. At the end of the table sit the king and the prince. Wow, that's Arthur? He looks like a conceited jerk. But he looks bored too. I went to the table and take some food. Someone tapped on my shoulder. With my mouth full, I turned around. It was Arthur.
"Who are you?", he asked me, but I can't answer because my mouth was still full of food.
"You look like a squirrel", he said and crossing his arms.
"You are not allowed to be here. It's a private event, get lost!", he yells. I turned around and walked to the exit.
"Without the food!", he yells.
"Jerk!!", I thought aloud. Ups, did I really say that?
"Excuse me??", He said and came up to me. I dropped the food and ran.
"Seize him!" Screamed Arthur. The guards ran after me but I managed to escape.

On the way, I ran into an old man. His herbs fell down and he looked at me. "The chosen one," he said. "Sorry, huh?" I asked confused. You could hear the guards from afar. "Come with me, I'll help you", said the old man and pulled me after him. He took me to his house and allowed me to live here. "I'm sorry but I'm confused. Who are you?" I asked the man. "My name is Gaius" he said and hugged me. "Okay. I'm Mer-" I wanted to introduce myself but he interrupted me.
G: "I know who you are" he said.
G: "You're the chosen one"
M: "For what?"
G: "To save the kingdom. You're Arthur's guardian"
M: "Ehm no, Never in a million years,  surely you mean another because this one is an idiot"
G: "You have to learn a lot Merlin. If you already live here, you can also make yourself useful. Go collecting herbs"

Gaius knows that I was born with magic. I do not understand what he means by protecting Arthur. There are more than enough guards posted, he does not need my help. So confusing. When I collected all the herbs, I ran back to Gaius house.
"I personally spoke with the king, he agrees that you can stay. You can not get around without punishment. You have to muck out the barns" said Gaius.
"But I don't want to stay", I resisted
"You must, it's your determination. And now eat your soup and go to sleep, tomorrow will be a hard day"
