Strike Witches: The Merlin Operatives
Prologue
AN: This idea popped into my head and I couldn't resist using it! I hope you all enjoy it, and I promise I will continue my work on Aussie Style as soon as my muse is friendly again! For now, please enjoy this creation, and please review my story. This is a prologue, so don't expect anything TOO long!
"You've heard the story about King Arthur, and his magic using companion Merlin, the most well know magic using male ever, right? Of course you have. Well I'll let you in on a little secret. His family line has ALWAYS served the Crowns of Britannia." The older man said as he leaned back in his bed, looking at the writer sitting next to his hospice bed.
"So I've heard Sir McKay, but how does that apply to you in particular, as well as how it applies to what happened during the Second Neuroi War." She said as she leaned forward, typing on her laptop.
"Lass, it has EVERYTHING to do with it. I know you Liberions don't always believe things from the old country, but trust me, it has everything to do with it." He smiled. "Did I tell you I was married to one of the great heroines from the war? One of the best ace witches, Erica Hartmann. Ahhhh I miss her. To have outlived her so long is the curse of my family line." He said sadly.
"But Sir, she passed away twenty years ago!" She exclaimed.
"Don't remind me child of Yeager. I turn 90 this year. And I'm sure your ancestor is proud of you, even if you don't have any magical power." He commented.
"Wait? You know Grandma Shirley?!" She gasped.
"Ha! Know her?! I probably know her as well as your grandfather did!" He chuckles dryly. "Now then, ready to know what I know?"
"Of course sir. I would love to hear stories of what you know about the 501st from the war." She said as she starts to type again.
"Ahhh I remember like it was yesterday…" He trails off with a smile.
