A Tale of Knights and Stars...

“And even the renowned king Arthur himself was mortally wounded; and being carried thence to the isle of Avallon to be cured of his wounds...” -

Geoffrey of Monmouth (1136)

Escaped from his many millenniums of captivity, the wizard Merlin escapes;changed and boiling over with a desire for vengeance, ready to takeadvantage of the scattered human race. The great King Arthur, healedaboard the great ship Avalon, must return to right past wrongs, confront his

old mentor and re-unite the human race.

However, the rejuvenated Arthur somewhat displays a reluctance to accept his destiny. With an uppish, constantly exasperated Sir Kay as a bumbling guide; and a cunning, malevolent Merlin out to get him; the teenage King

Arthur is about to go embark a right of passage like no other...





Arthur

Hero: Arthur, The Reluctant Once and Future King

Arthur is the head of the intergalactic order known as the “Knights of the Round Table”.Very little is known of their origins, whether they are like demi-gods, blessed protectors of man-kind, or an advanced humanoid race that has taken an interest in ensuring humanities’survival; are they time travellers, able to intervene at critical moments in history? Arthur istheir figure head, their greatest warrior, a bastion for humanity to gather around.

According to them...

Arthur himself has other ideas. After being mortally wounded by his half-brother Mordred,he was returned to their ship, Avalon , to be healed. Now back to youth and health, with afoggy memory of who he once was, an unwanted and heavy burden has been hefted upon hisshoulders. Constantly hounded by his stuffy mentor, Arthur wears his destiny with the utmost relectance.

Sir Kay

Hero’s Sidekick: Sir Kay, Arthur’s Uppish Mentor

During Arthur's reign, Sir Kay acted as Arthur's right-hand man, his lieutenant and closest

ally. While Arthur lay in stasis, his body slowly regenerating, Kay guarded his charge with theutmost dedication. He has spent his time gathering the required knowledge and lore to act asmentor and guide to the replenished Arthur.

His studies however have left him somewhat out of touch with the real world, lost amongst wisdom and ancient rules. His once strong build has become plump, his attitude snobbish, andhis concerns focussed on education rather than action.

While he means the best, Sir Kay's attempts to educate the young Arthur meet with coldreception. His stuffy manner and hesitation before action leave him with his nose in hiscompendium while Arthur gets the job done. However, he serves as a restraint against

Arthur's rashness and still remains a loyal companion.

Placed upon Earth by the Nine to prepare the human race to receive Arthur, Merlin has been

a long term servant of Avalon . He acted as a mentor to the developing Arthur and played akey part in his mission. However, towards the end of the allotted time, Merlin was seduced by some rogue fae creature name Vivien. He was deceived into revealing his origin, powers andpurpose. Vivien then worked his own spells against him, sealing him inside a young oak. Sostrong was Vivien’s magic that Merlin was hidden from the Nine’s sight and was consequently left behind when the decision was made to depart.

Ever the since Nine have been searching for him. However, while trapped for many

millenniums, Merlin nursed a fear and loneliness that turned to hate and desire for revenge onthose who left him. Eventually his anger and hate built to such a level that it split his prisonasunder.
