I walked down the busy road of Camelot. The people buzzed like wild bees making honey on a hot summer day. My name is Madeline. You can say that I'm really not from here. I come from a little village a long travel from here. My sweet mom thought that I would be better around more people that could help me. You see, I have problems. More then someone should. I held my bag that I've been carrying with me tighter and my violin in my hand and started to walk. I saw people from left and right start going in the bigger part of the square, so I follow. I dodge one person and then another. I finally reach the clearing and see the king of Camelot. I saw a guy being put on an execution block.

"With this man's use of Sorcery and magic he will be Executed." 

I watched as the ax was raised and King Uther gave the signal to kill the man. He went on about how the land was peaceful and that they will have a feast for not having magic in Camelot for the certain amount of years. I shiver inward because I knew that this meant bad news for me. I knew how to do magic since I was young. I didn't practice it, I didn't study it. I was born with it. I can't help  something I was born with. Can I?I looked towards the ground I shook my head. I heard a old lady scream and I jumped and looked from the ground. 

"I will get you from killing my son, Uther Pendragon! I swear to thee!" 

The old lady said a magic spell and then vanished into thin air. I stared in amazement as there was no trace of the witch. My shock soon dissolved and I took a deep breath. I noticed that the people were dispersing and I took that as my leave. I started to move and look to see where I could find the Physican. My bad dreams or nightmares were getting worse, and most of the times I don't sleep. I search around and started to move a little faster because more people were gathering for other occasions. I kept walking until I noticed something and I turned around. It said: To the Court Physician, follow this path. I smiled as I ran to the path I took and then I felt myself hit the ground. 

"Ow.." I said as I slowly stood up.

"Are you alright? I'm sorry, I wasn't looking." 

I stood up and dusted my white leggings, red shirt (Like a pirate shirt) and brown belt off. I could care less about my brown boots. I looked up to see a boy about my age in front me.

"Hello?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." I quickly say as I bring my bag over my shoulder, " I wasn't looking."

"You seem in a hurry. Is there something I can help you with?" 

"No." I answer. This boy was kind but I just need to get to the Court Physician. "Now I thank you for your kindness, but I must go to the Court Physician."

"I'm trying to find that too. Why don't we go together?"

I smiled. That's all I really could do. Someone was kind to me on the first day. I wish all days were like this!

"Sure!"

"I'm Merlin."

"I'm Madeline, but you can call me Maddy."

"Well then. Let's go Maddy!"
