[Video] - 1st Lesson

[anachronize]

Oh, how bothersome!

[Merlin is finally awake, and he's a little miffed about leaving his young ward at such a critical time.]

Now listen here, whatever business you have with me can wait!  I must make sure my student is well taken care of for the task ahead, you can't simply expect a boy to run an entire kingdom without a bit of smarts behind him!  I know for certain I didn't travel forward in time, nor do I need any of your gadgets or gizmos where I need to go!

[For how old and strange Merlin looks, he seems well suited for using the communicator.  Perhaps it's similar to a device he's used before.]

Now if you want to come out and have a civilized discussion, instead of foolishly trying to detain the most powerful wizard in the world against his will, then perhaps you'll see reason.  Whatever your business, it can wait until I've seen to Arthur's well being!

[Though truthfully, Merlin is an awful lot of hot air.  He's more worried than anything else.]

[This sounds like an angry elder. Saleh takes a moment to consider his words carefully, for he has nothing but respect for his elders. This man almost looks as old as his own grandmother, and he claims to be a wizard. Very interesting.]

Sir...please calm yourself. If there is anyone responsible for this, they have yet to make themselves known to anyone. It may not even be the work of any people, for all we know.

[Video]

[anachronize]

Haven't made themselves known, eh? Nobody can keep a secret like that forever. Sooner or later whatever vagabond did this is bound to slip up, and I'm going to have plenty to talk with them about!

[It may take him awhile before he stops being such a blowhard.]

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

Perhaps. I'm sure there are many others who feel the same way.

[Saleh can't argue with that.]

In the meantime, however, I would strongly suggest settling down.

[betel_geuse]

"You're talking to air, gramps," Betelgeuse said, a bit smugly, given that the lack of visible kidnappers bothered him, too. The guy might not be using video, but his voice and fussiness told Betelgeuse that this probably wasn't a young person. "No one can make out who keeps dragging people here. Only people I've talked to were brought here same as you and me."

[anachronize]

Well then, no doubt the scoundrel responsible for displacing people will make a mistake and slip up, then I'll find out what confounded spell they used!

[Merlin laughs in a way crafty old men usually do.]

But I have all my spell books with me! Sooner or later, I'm bound to find the right one!

[betel_geuse]

"See, here's the problem, gramps. There's a good chance there isn't a scoundrel. At all. I got my own magic and, well, I haven't found anything suspicious," Betelgeuse said, then paused a bit at the mention of spell books. "Not sure a spell is gonna help. What kinda magic do you do?"

[Minako...can actually agree with the ruling the kingdom without some smarts. In her mind, Usagi now at least had those smarts and was pretty much ready to be Queen in the future and she knew that eventually that day would come. But in this case, she appears as Sailor Venus instead of her normal self of Minako.]

It appears you were entrusted with someone whose future was to rule as well. It can be pretty tough sometimes, right?

[anachronize]

Indeed so my dear! None other than the legendary King Arthur. Though where I come from, he's only just begun his journey through life.

Blast it all, maybe Archimedes is still there to at least keep the boy company until I figure out the right spell to go back.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[She had no idea who King Arthur was considering she isn't from England, but he sounded like he was very important never the less.]

And that I'm sure will take time. I'm also sure that not being with him can be quite worrying. I know that rather well myself. But I think believing in his skills might help until you find what you need. [Though she doubts a spell could work that could get him home.]

[badluckcharm]

[Because she has to ask because wizards can do magic and that type of thing is supernatural.]

Are you really a wizard?

[anachronize]

[Okay, he's probably had a moment to chill out by now.]

Indeed, madame. Merlin, at your service.

[badluckcharm]

I'm Himawari. [She looks so happy to see someone who can actually do magic.]

Wow, you mentioned how powerful you are, but what exactly is it that you can do magic wise?

Then you must have been busy before you arrived? [Because even he knew ruling takes a lot and he only knows that because of Ashura and the fact he worked for him before thing happened.]

But son't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine. [As reassuring as he sounds, coming from him might not be as reassuring, especially when he looks so happy.]

video;

[anachronize]

Of course I was, the boy still has so much to learn! He must be made ready to handle such a responsibility.

[Merlin may not necessarily need reassurances now that he's realized he has access to his spell books.]

Quite so, everything will be fine when I find the right spell.

Re: video;

[behindthefakesmile]

You mean a spell to get you from here to home. I am correct in assuming that right?

[he's wondering when he is going to have to tell him those kinds of spells don't seem to work here.]

[Video][Lucifer]

[beareroflight]

I'm not sure it's so wise to advertize yourself as the world's most powerful wizard over the network.

[video]

[anachronize]

And why should I bother to hide? Anyone trying to find me may do so sooner or later, and any oafish buffoon with small minded ideas about wizards are easy enough to thwart.

[This is the look of a man who just does not give a damn.]

[sharingkindness]

Oh, um. Sorry mister powerful wizard. [She bows her head slightly, as some form of respect. ] I'm sorry to say this but, you might not be able to go home any time soon.

video;

[anachronize]

That won't be a problem, I simply need to find the right spell.

[It's then that Merlin notices just what exactly he's speaking to.]

I see I'm not the only one skilled in the art of shape shifting!

[ video ]

[fairytails]

[ there's an... awfully excited little girl on the video feed. ] Wow! Really? The world's most powerful wizard!?

[ WHY HASN'T MAVIS HEARD OF YOU BEFORE!? ]

What's your name? What Guild are you from?

[ video ]

[anachronize]

[Oh no, young minds who need a teacher. His one weakness.]

My name is Merlin, my dear. I don't belong to any guild, but I travel wherever my curiosity takes me!

The world's most powerful wizard...

{ A lofty claim, one many people have made about themselves, accurate or not. How truthful is it, in this case? Current number one of the Ten Wizard Saints, perhaps? He hasn't exactly kept up on that. Zeref has found that being on that list, while certainly a status symbol, is oftentimes more politically motivated than an accurate measure of who is really the most powerful at the time. }

What kind of magic do you use, if I might ask?

[ video ]

[anachronize]

[Merlin lets out a light laugh, running a hand through his beard.]

My boy, it would probably be easier to tell you what I can't do as opposed to what I can do.

Welcome to the one place where you'll never get a proper response to the "Take me to your leader" tactic!

[ Sarcastic applause is a go. ]

[anachronize]

I've never been one to give up easily. Sooner or later I'm bound to find out how or why this happened, and set things straight! Just wait and see.
