Merlin

by Gacina Bozidar


During the XIV century the battles for the win of the grace of imagined God of battle lasted for long years and it was apparent that the battles in this century were fierce and instead of going to school or University a man was eligible only for battle and during the time the outcome of the battle was not clear, the battle was some kind of instinctive effort of the warrior. It was difficult to organize the life as it is now the case. The wild and strange in some way that life could be and the little powerful villages presented the starting point of the desire to conquer the regions and the continents, the oceans must have been envisaged. But apart of only strength that was really crucial, it was important to have the spiritual leaders who could be in some ways the prophets for the warriors and who could tell them at what time to go and in which direction to go, and who was really the potential, but in the sense of very big gift to speak and predict, who was potential magician would have been saved from usual plights of the every day wars in the regions, it is to say that this magician would be chosen as someone who speak and openly say to the inhabitants of the village what is the best and how to employ the qualities of warriors and to try to explain to them why and for what reason to go to the battles as it would be in vain some times. The name of one magician was Merlin and he was the responsible or everything and for the whole history, and this history recorded the Merlin's wisdom. Now, the wisdom of Merlin was known but it was not known for what and real purpose these qualities can serve and for what reason they can be employed. The first reason was life in the biggest harmony with the spiritiality. This spirituality was very important for the future generations but it was not known what is it now. Now it is life, and unknown force.
