The Passing of Merlin
- Merlin fell in love with a lady of the lake and always wanted to be around her
- Knowing that he loved her, she used this to her advantage and made him share all of his knowledge with her. He knew he shouldn't but he couldn't help himself
- Merlin knew that one day he would be buried alive but he refused to try and change his fate
- Merlin and Vivian left Arthur's Court and traveled to lots of places.
- Eventually Vivian got tired of Merlin and wanted to kill him
- One day Merlin took her to a big rock and told her of the great marvels that were underneath it. Then Vivian seduced Merlin into going underneath the rock to show her the marvels he was talking about. Once he was under the stone, she used the magic he taught her and rolled the stone over him, burying him alive
- Wouldn't he be able to get out?
- What if Merlin did try to prevent his death?
