1. Prologue

Prologue

The Man in the Moon senses something is coming. Something big. Something-something purely evil. Whatever it was-whatever they were-is going to join forces with the nightmare king. It will try to destroy everything the Guardians protect in children, and then more. Something about this thing is demonic. He realizes, then, because that's what they are. Demons.

The Man in the Moon has no choice. Another Guardian must be chosen. One who has dealt with these creatures, one whose blood pulses with pure magick. He searches for a name. The name of this. . .magician. But something makes this extremely difficult.

Two names, two faces collide with each other in his search. One a man, the other, a young girl. The images are too jumbled to make out features, though. But, although the names are both said at the same time, one seems to call out a bit louder that the other. The Man in the Moon knows this is the next guardian.

Impossible. He thinks. He died so long ago, and I never brought him back. But the name still screamed.

Merlin.

This is not a Merlin/RotG crossover, sorry. It will all make sense after a while. Don't worry your pretty little heads!
