Very early the next morning Merlin walked up to the church. Using a skill he forgot he possessed, he opened the door’s lock with a long, thin nail, sat in the front row and gazed at the stone holding the sword. He was dressed in his Wizard’s outfit and when he heard the lock being opened by the priest, he readied an egg loaded with flour as he ducked down in the pew. The man shuffled down the aisle and Merlin heard him as he yawned loudly. When his footsteps said he was in the middle of the church, the magician threw down the egg and it exploded with a rising cloud of flour that looked like smoke. The stunned priest stopped in his tracks and before the smoke cleared Merlin stood there with his arms crossed, smiling at him.

“Friend, Priest!” he boomed, “This be the day all will know of as, ‘when the King of England would be found in thine church’. Be thou ready for such an honor?”

“I-I-I be ready, friend Wizard. What is it that I should do on this day?”

“Nothing more than walk with me through the streets of London as together we proclaim the coming of the King of England.”

“Y-Y-Yee and meself? Together?”

“Surely,” answered Merlin as he placed his arm on the man’s shoulder in a friendly manner. “Why thou be the leader of this fine church and thy word be heard by the faithful an’ my word be heard by all who know of wizardry. Together we shall tell all of tonight’s meeting with the King of England.” He looked in the man’s eyes and said, “Be thou up to this honorable task?”

“I be, I be, Wizard Merlin! But, pray tell, must we go up to yon tower again?”

“No, friend Priest. This day we shall stroll about, arm-in-arm, and tell all of tonight’s free show.”

“Free?”

“Yes! For we would want all ta attend thine fine church this evening to see yee crown the king.”

“Me? Me crown the king?”

“Who else? I ask yee this, fine friend, were yee not here for the very beginning of this miracle?”
