The True Heart of Excalibur
Wizards are called the wise and powerful.
Merlin is the most famous of all.
They protect with pride and honor.
They hold all of English history within their blood.
Merlin was foretold of Arthur before he was a teen,
Because he knew this had to be held in secrecy,
It was too dangerous for mortals to know.
Kings and Queen rule kingdoms,
With the guidance of Merlin.
Merlin sees and knows all.
One vision showed Merlin a golden sword,
Indestructible and winning many wars.
Only answers to one mortal person of this realm.
Zeus himself magically and powerfully formed it,
From each rib of Ares and Athena.
It stands beyond time, space, and the future.
Her name is Excalibur; she is honored, guarded and,
Kept by the Lady in the Lake.
Only those with true and pure hearts can wield Excalibur.
The Lady of the Lake calls upon the Amazons or Valkyrie to,
Help protect Excalibur when needed.
The true owners of Excalibur are the Queens of Olympus,
Yet only loaned to Arthur to save England from France.
