In a time so distant, some might call it mythical, a kind peasant woman was blessed with a boy.
She named him after her favorite bird, so he would know freedom his exiled father didn't
—a predatory bird, so he could outsmart witch-hunters who persecuted the gifted
—a majestic bird, so he could rise over the low station he was born into.
Little did she know that her little bundle of joy would become the mightiest sorcerer to ever have lived,
that his destiny was so great, gods would take notice.
She named him Merlin.
