There are many tales of Arthur and his knights but there is only one that tells the truth. In a small cottage not far from Stonehenge lives a man. A man much more than a man because he is Merlin he resides in the cottage with familiar Ambrose the owl. Merlin's cottage is full of books and science equipment. Ambrose is sleeping on the back of the chair next to the fireplace when Merlin crashes in waking the bird.

"Ambrose hurry up and pack the time is almost upon us." Merlin shouted

"Arthur is finally returning he went to Avalon over a thousand years ago," replied Ambrose

"That may be but mentally and physically he is almost better we must prepare for his return. We must awaken the knight, collect the swords, and find new apprentices."

"Where are we starting?"

"In America where most of the statues are and where my new apprentices are."

Ambrose decides he better get started packing he did not want to leave anything behind knowing they might not be coming back. Just as Ambrose was done packing Merlin starts his spell to send them to the United States. Poof they were standing in front of a Victorian house Merlin walks in Ambrose flying behind.

Once inside Ambrose asks" where are we then?"

"Chelsea Michigan, South Street."

"Why here?"

"Firstly my apprentices are nearby and so is the first statue. I must change my clothes." Replied Merlin
