The Camelot Ghost

by bookworm0702

When Merlin Emrys and his family move into a centuries old castle in rural England, he is less than thrilled. Then he meets the castle's first owner, Uther Pendragon.

1. Prophecy

Author's Note: This is based off Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost. The two main characters are Merlin and Uther, but there is no romantic pairing between them. Merlin is not a warlock, and Uther was alive around the same time as Shakespeare. I do not own The Canterville Ghost, Hamlet, or BBC's Merlin.

When a gentle child can win

Prayer from out the lips of sin

When a child gives up tears

And the barren almond bears

When the silent chapel bell sounds the ghostly sinners knell

Then shall all the house be still

And pain shall be forgot

And peace shall come to Camelot
