In the mists of ancient Britain, a dark plot was hatched in the shadows. An incubus, a spirit of the underworld, sought to father a child who would serve as a herald of evil. He chose a virtuous woman of royal blood who lived in a nunnery, hoping to corrupt her purity. When the child was born, he was covered in coarse hair and possessed a frightening intelligence. However, the mother was a woman of unwavering faith. Fearing for her son’s soul, she immediately took the infant to a priest to be baptized. The holy rite worked a miracle: it purged the child's demonic nature while leaving his supernatural gifts intact. Merlin was born with the ability to see the past from his father and the future from divine grace. Even as a babe, he spoke with the wisdom of sages, defending his mother from those who judged her and setting him on the path to becoming the greatest advisor the world would ever know.
Our origins do not define our destiny; it is the choices we make and the virtues we uphold that determine who we become.
