One day a great powerful queen named Zalliana was in the forest for the very first time. She was frightened by a noise she never heard. Since she was so powerful she didn't care about being killed. Then she went toward the noise when she got there she found an abandoned child and raised it through the years.

When the child grew he became a wizard by the age of 18. The wizard's name was Merlin and his magic grew even stronger each day.

Zalliana just found out that there was a magic crystal called the Celtic Crystal so she sent the wizard on a mission to find the Celtic Crystal. As she knew someone could only use the Celtic Crystal with a good heart that would never betray his elders and she picked her only son Merlin. She didn't want to send him on such a dangerous mission, but she had to because if someone evil hearted got their hands on the crystal they could destroy anyone or anything.

The next day she called Merlin to the table and told him about the mission he must do and he understood why he must do such a dangerous mission. So he went to his room got every thing he would need even a wizard's staff. He doesn't have much experience with a sword so he didn't take it. So he gave his mother a hug and left the castle to go on his mission.

There were plenty of monsters that he had to fight on the way. He had to fight a black dragon. Merlin had to use a whirl wind attack. The dragon struck back with all his power, but Merlin used his magic shield, which reflected the black dragon's attack. It hit him like a thunder bolt and he exploded.

Then he finally reached the Celtic forest, which the magic crystal was in. When he was completely in the forest he remembered his mother told him he had to walk about 2000 miles into the forest so he had brought him over 9 months of water which equaled up to about 3 gallons of water to keep him alive.

He had spent over 6 months walking without stopping. He finally came to a cave that was shining green it looked like a Celtic crystal from the outside so when he went in he found a big crystal it was the Celtic crystal. Merlin was about to grab the Celtic Crystal until something struck his hand. It was a 3-headed dragon. It was the guardian of the Celtic Crystal. It had the power of shadow, darkness, and wind.

Merlin used the angel attack. A bunch of angels flew out of his staff and shot arrows at the 3-headed dragon. The 3 dragonheads attacked with shadow attack and wind which is a tornado. Then he finally got down to his strongest attack, which was darkness that was his final hit. So then Merlin struck back with his sunbeam. Then the dragon hit the ground. Then Merlin picked up the Celtic Crystal and left the cave to head toward home.

3 days later he was walking in the desert and he ran out of water. He used the Celtic Crystal to take him home. When he arrived there his mother was proud to see him alive.
