Merlin. The Dragon's Call. Part II

Merlin is a young sorcerer who arrives at the city of Camelot, after his mother arranges for him to stay with Gaius, the court physician. He discovers that the king, Uther Pendragon, has outlawed magic and has imprisoned the last great dragon deep under the city. The dragon informs Merlin that he has an important destiny to protect Uther's son, Arthur, who will bring forth a great Kingdom. When he meets Arthur for the first time he believes that he is arrogant and Arthur thinks that Merlin is just a servant, because Merlin has to keep his magic a secret or he gets executed by Uther.
