New Lives to Live
This story is the second in my Albion Anew Saga. This edition will focus on the characters we know and love learning to live a new life. It will see them getting jobs and learning about some of the important events in Earth's History. This story will also introduce the event that they have got to put right and I may also bring back one or two more characters.
Chapter 1
A few days after Merlin has told them all about their identifies for the 21st Century, it is a Sunday Morning, about 8:30. Everyone is sat in the kitchen eating breakfast.
"Merlin, where's the nearest church to here?" asks Gwen.
"There's one in the town, why do you want you want to go?" answers the warlock.
"Yes I do, so can we?"
"I don't see why not. But I should warn you all..."
"Don't tell me, the church has changed as well" exclaims Arthur.
"Well yes, I mean the same basic things are there, the same bible stories, but there are different hymns and things" replies Merlin.
"Well we might as well start adjusting to this century somewhere, why not with church?" comments Percival.
"Okay cool, just one problem, the car isn't big enough" explains Merlin.
"Can't you just perform a spell to make it bigger?" inquires Leon
"I'm not sure, I've never tried"
"Well, come on then, let's go give it a go" states Leon.
"Okay, but let me move the car into the garage first, don't want any unsuspecting people to walk past and see me performing magic".
Meanwhile in a land not occupied by the living, Freya is watching over Merlin through a ball that hovers in midair when an official looking man comes into the room.
"Freya, what are you doing?" he asks her.
"Oh nothing Lord Richard" she replies.
"Really because what I see is you keeping a watch upon the Warlock Emrys"
"Oh yeah I guess I am. It's just that when I was alive I fell in love with him in such a short amount of time, I've kept an eye on him ever since. And now that his closest friends have returned that is even more of an excuse to keep an eye. You know as well as I do Sir Richard that they would've only returned when the world was in dire need of them".
"True but Freya you are the Lady of the Lake, there are other people who need your help, not just Emrys and his friends".
"I know I just miss Merlin so much"
"You have told me that for over a thousand years. Now I must be going".
Freya stops him before he leaves the room by saying "Wait, Sir Richard, can I ask you something?"
"Of course"
"Merlin's closest friends have returned from the dead do you think it's possible that his enemies will to?"
"Maybe, it's possible. But god help us all if Morgana Pendragon returns to the land of the living".
