The honorable knight Sir Gareth, after his marriage to Lady Lyoness, went to see Merlin about what had been troubling his thoughts.  Camelot was beautiful in every area except when you reached the dark and dreary dungeons below.  Sir Gareth entered these chambers with dread.  He wished Merlin would move into the laboratory Arthur had built in the main part of the castle.  This place smelled of ages of torture now stopped by Arthur and his reign.  Sir Gareth stood at the entrance in silence and heard the tortured screams trapped in the walls for the rest of eternity.  He hurried on now shaken with pity for the poor souls.  Sir Gareth found Merlin sitting at the head of a long table.  The Wizard was busy concocting a spell when Sir Gareth arrived.  Sir Gareth looked to his right and saw many jars with herbs, powders, and unrecognizable parts.  Over to his left he saw shelves full of spell books and scrolls all jumbled together in a complicated organization.  Merlin stopped murmuring and Sir Gareth looked back to the old wizard.  Merlin looked up and looked back to the scroll that was before him and said, "I know why you are here Sir Gareth.  You are troubled by dreams at night but you cannot remember them to tell what is wrong.  I cannot tell you what is wrong in your dreams, but I can tell you how to stop it.  Saddle your horse and ride to the west for two days with no rest.  You will come upon a village.  In this village will be an orphaned young boy.  You must take him for your squire."

                Sir Gareth looked puzzled and confused.  Merlin glanced up and smiled.  Sir Gareth was about to say something, but Merlin waved his hand to silence him, and said, "Have faith good knight.  Men can not always know why they are supposed to do the things they do."  Merlin went back to work.  Sir Gareth was still puzzled by Merlin's knowledge of the past, present, and future.  He was still wondering this when Merlin looked back up and said, "You need to head out on your journey sir knight."

                Bowing Sir Gareth said, "Thank you for your guidance wise Merlin."  He turned around and left the laboratory.
