The Dragon's Call

Mighty Camelot braced to fall

When came to Merlin, the Dragon's Call,

"Thy King will come

To lovers arms

To give him strength, 'gainst enemies all"

Evil Mordred brought his wrath

Upon his foes with sword and staff

Killing not just Knights

But civilians too,

Till through Camelot ran, a crimson bath

So Merlin sought those Arthur held dear

His noble wife Queen Guinevere ,

But there stood treacherous Lancelot

Who would betray his Lord,

Who would take his wife from here

As Arthur fought on castle's walls

Upon the Towers and in the halls

Unaware was he,

Of the parting of his bride

Hearing naught of Merlin's calls

But if not the Queen then who was she?

His King's true lover. Morgana? Could it be?

Could she be trusted?

Was she true?

Was it not her who let Mordred roam free?

So it fell to Merlin to confront the Lady

Morgana, the witch, whose thoughts grew shady

Good or evil

None could be sure

Her morals confused, her allegiance hazy

Then she set her mark in blood

Revealing her face from beneath the hood

Of deception and guile

She shown herself

An enemy of Camelot, and all of good

Arthur had Mordred at his knees

Hearing his enemy's cowardly pleas

When came the witch

With evil intent

To bring Arthur down with brutal ease

Yet Mordred and Morgana

Combined in their power

Failed to take down the King.

Bloodied but unbeaten

Arthur was away within the hour

His maidens had betrayed him

His Kingdoms hopes looked dim

He found his way

To the Dragon's cave

Where he sought his beloved Merlin

In the young wizards arms

He felt safe from all harm

Within the arms of his Merlin

Into his eyes he stared

There were for none whom he cared

More than his faithful Merlin

Their lips then meet as passions grow

Arthur's face begins to glow,

As Merlin's love erases all pain

Thoughts of pride emerge again

To bring about his enemies woe

With Merlin in his noble heart

King Arthur makes his bold depart

To bring down Mordred,

Morgana too

And give his land a grand new start
