The Once and Future King? [A Modern Merlin FanFic]

Foreword

An old man was sitting by the lake; he fiddled with his silver-white long beard and didn't expect anything but the quietness around him. Of course a car or truck would pass by on the country road once in a while but he didn't care. The man had clear wrinkles around his eyes and across his forehead. His eyes were deep of memories and looked tired at the lake. This was not an ordinary old man like your grandfather; this man was really, really old, and yet still filled with energy. He had experienced things you would never believe. He had fought the darkness a long, long, time ago and he had seen it in the form of evil, what he had thought was friends, and above all he had seen the greatest king fall to rise again. As I said, this old man wasn't just any old man. His name was Merlin and he waited for the once and future king to rise from the lake of Avalon to take his rightfully place as king. He was waiting for Arthur Pendragon.
