It has been thousands of years since Arthur's death, since then human population has increased, technologies evolved, everything had changed. Merlin also had moved onto his life as humans evolved as he waited for Arthur to come back, and he still hasn't….until now.
Back in Albion the lake still remained upon human civilisation, and one of those people would come there to explore the history of the ancient land as one of the oldest known islands of Great Britain.
"Computer, weather status report" Maree called out to her multiple computers which had speech recognition, they replied to her in a normal human like voice, "Today is cloudy with 23 degrees"
She had put on her coat and zipped it up before commanding her computers to shut down, she grabbed a sketchbook and went outside, stopping to get used to the breeze once she opened the door and then proceeded to take a small walk to the lake, as she would always do every Sunday to take some sketches.
She was an artist, when she first came here, she was mesmerised by the lake for its somewhat….aura it gave her and from then she would draw the lake for its strange feeling. She always wondered what it was and what is its purpose, that's when she read about the legend of Merlin and Arthur, as interested as she is into German history of the Nazi's and Japanese history, this was another one that captured her. From then, knowing that she can see people that have died in dreams, she had tried to practise magic but all of her attempts have failed. But even so, she kept on visiting the lake to capture that feeling and it gave her warmth inside.
She sighed, though the feeling inside refused her to be relaxed, it kept her awake and full of energy. "Let's try now" She put down her sketch book and raised her hand to her chest, feeling the aura she pictured a fire and cast a spell, but alas when she opened her eyes, it didn't work like all of the rest of the attempts. She sighed again, picking up her sketchbook again and proceeding to draw, but then she though if she walked around the lake she might feel something? Maybe…..but it's worth a try.
She got up and went on a walk around the lake, it's an enormous lake but she didn't care if it took a whole damn day to finish the trip. It'll be good for health anyways when she always works in her house with all of the books and technology inside her house. "Maybe I'll find something….."
She wasn't wrong, she indeed had a long trip around the lake just looking at the middle point of it while walking, and she couldn't take her eyes off it. But despite her hearing, she could hear something, among the birds and wind blowing, she could hear rustling. She stopped a moment to listen carefully, raising her ears up at her best skill. She heard the rustling again, she wondered where it was coming from but couldn't tell where it was coming from but she had a feeling of where it was so she followed it. It guided her through the forest and then into the bushes, as good as her eyes were (better than everyone else's) she spotted a person right away.
"Hey! Who's over there!?" She ran over to the figure and once she got a full view of him, she was stopped in her own tracks. She recognised who it was.
He had full armour on but with no sword or shield as she saw, but he had blonde hair, it can be no other than… "Arthur Pendragon….."
