Arthurian English Folk Series: Wizard, IV

"Knowledge is power."

Merlin, a wizard of the ancient world, had been an advisor to not only Uther but Aurelius and Constantine as well, and with Arthur as king alongside Daemon, his role had not fallen by any fade or relegation. Given the land's time of peace, though, he had found it to be of mind to seek the company of all those serving by active hand. As a person who had seen powerful knowledges like patience, honor, and courage aid in keeping kingdom relations, he had made it up in his mind to serve the interests housing ongoing peace measures. The most active body among those who held these interests in study were the Magi. They were a triumvirate of scholars who maintained a massive record of logs and documents that had been composed as an immense library of cultural preservation which was integral to the realm's peace. Venturing to speak with the three scholars, though, found Merlin in a place of shocking discovery. The three magi were at war with each other because of the conditions within which they all had to work. The first magi, a scribe, had food and water but no shelter, so his writings would sometimes be ruined. The second magi, an astronomer, had water and shelter but no food, so he was always hungry. The third magi, an agriculturist, had food and shelter but no water, so he was always having difficulty growing plants, herbs, vegetables, and medicines. When Merlin learned of this, he knew exactly how to help. He told the first magi that if he were to give the second magi food then the second magi would not be hungry. Merlin then told the second magi that if he were to give water to the third magi, then the third magi would have everything he needs to study. He then went on to tell the third magi that if he were to give shelter to the first magi, then his writings would be safe. Upon hearing the whole plan, they all agreed and were able to do really well as counsel and courtiers because they had worked to solve one another's problems and build each other up, so that the whole of the kingdom would continue to prosper as a land forged from the balance and majesty of peace and charity. After having helped, Merlin was excited to return to his study where a small razed portion of garden was lit by the glowing, radiant star of the daytime blue-made sky. Being one who had learned a great deal about the kingdom that day and how being a voice for the community is a powerful instrument for good, he was resigned in all instances of conflict to always hear out the entirety of all concerns, so that no matter the problem, there would always be the possibility of solution for any and all issues which could potentially arise merely by listening to what was wrong, understanding the conflict, and acting upon the knowledge that would see it resolved. With all that Merlin was afforded, he had made it up in his mind to always be a scholar and magician of honor, so that not only those of his day but also those of whom who would inherit the kingly knowledges of the court in the times to come would be encouraged to be persons of wisdom, knowledge, care, integrity, patience and community.
