I live in a village just next to the lake of Avalon. My family are treated as royalty in the year of 2012.

Why?

Because of the person I am tied with until my time is up or they return.

When my ancestor walked out her cottage all those many years ago, she never expected to see a golden dragon fly to her, nor a white dragon to be beside it.

Most importantly to see a young man being placed in front of her.

"Hello Katrina" whispered the Dragon to her.

"How do you know my name?" my ancestor asked the dragon. She was a druid.

"Your destiny is about to begin. The Once and Future King is dead and Emrys needs a protector" said the Dragon.

And a spell was cast on her. Whenever the mother turns sixty, Merlin Emrys' life is given to the eldest daugher.

My name is Lucy, and I live in the village of descendants of druids whom remember the prophecy. I live with my two daughters (Abby and Molly), my son (Andrew), my husband (Gill) and Merlin. Also a dog called Aithusa. She used to be a dragon.

The moment Merlin lost the dead look in his eyes was the moment I remembered long after he was gone.

I was eating dinner with Merlin and Molly. Abby was at a friends house while Gill and Andrew were away out.

Then I hear a yell.
