Greetings everyone, I must tell you all about a story I heard from a friend of mine. This tale told me all I needed to know about the great knight sir Gawain. What I heard has shown me how honorable and courageous Gawain is. First off, he and the green knight made a bet in which he could strike the green knight with his sword, only if the green knight was able to do the same a year and a day later. A year and a day later, Sir Gawain keeps up his end of the deal, something that few men would do. As he sets off on his journey to see the green knight, he encounters another kingdom. During his stay there, the king’s wife makes several advances towards Gawain. Despite a very beautiful women boldly stating her desire to woo him, Sir Gawain remains a true knight of principle and resists all advances due to respect for her husband. Not many men would be able to keep themselves from taking advantage of this women, including myself to be honest. I admire Gawain for his actions on these three days. After leaving the kingdom, Gawain meets up with the green knight, where he is ready to hold up his end of the deal. On arrival, Gawain gets on his knees and prepares to be struck by the green knight’s sword. Instead, the green knight informs Gawain that this has all been a test and that Gawain has passed. A true knight preservers any test thrown their way, whether they know about it or not, and Gawain is a true knight.

Until next time,             

Merlin

Greetings all. I am here to tell the story of none other than..... You guessed it, me! I know that many of you have heard things about me so I am just here to clear the air and spread the truth about my life. I was born half devil and half God. So yes, I do have character traits of both, but I do lean more towards the side of God. My full name is Merlin Ambrosius, and I am a wizard, and the advisor of none other than King Arthur (although he does not always listen to me). I am the one who predicted the unprecidented events involving Lancelot and Guinevere, and I had fore warned Arthur long before this happened. I guess the moral of this story would be to listen to my prophesies and take them into account before you make big life decisions, such as getting married. I have indeed been known to shape shift. I do this in order to change perception on things. Sometimes I am an ugly man in the forest of northumberland, sometimes I am a peasant dressed in peasant clothing. I have the ability to change the way people think, and that is what I would say Is the purpose of my creation. Remember be weary, because you never know where or what I'll be next.....

Until next time,

Merlin

Greetings, Everyone! i am Merlin, the wizard extraordinaire and more importantly an adviser to the honorable King Arthur. I was originally the creation of Geoffrey of Monmouth, a combination of Welsh and British folklore, i would say that i am quite a cultural phenomenon! I am indeed responsible for the creation of the mythical Stonehenge, located in Wiltshire, England. In appearance, i may be old, but in spirit, i remain young and lustful over and beautiful lady i may come across, despite being tied down by marriage. I am a keeper of secret, and a communicator with those who can not communicate themselves. I hail from the town of Carmarthen. My father was a demon, and my mother was the daughter of the King of Demetia. I gained my magic through my relationship with the lord, and the demons to his opposition.

I have many values, but i truly appreciate honesty. I once built a fortress in Wales. It was not build on solid ground, because underneath lays a pool of water where two dragons live. I came forward to the king, expressing my concern about the dragons but he did not listen. The next day the dragons awoke and fought each other to the death.

I once had a brother, Aurelius Ambrosius, whom i cared for deeply, but when he was tragically poisoned i was forced to make the decision to declare Uther the new King of Britain. My greatest memory with my brother is taking large stones from Mount Killarus in Ireland, and forming a circle, now known as Stonehenge.

I have a very important relationship with the King. I am indeed responsible for his conception. I also fostered a young Arthur and in turn taught him the values and principles of life.

I, Merlin, am a man of much myth and folklore, but this, my story, is anything but that. I look forward to speaking again soon.

Take Care
