Not long after the Death of King Arthur a prophecy was made that foretold that he and his Knight would some day be reborn when the world was in it's darkest days and they would be the light that brought peace and prosperity back to the world, where all beings could live in peace together. As the years passed the relationship between the wild things of the world and humans deteriorated. Many of the races and fei that where once numerous in the world began to fade, and some even grew anger and began to hate the humans as they continued to expand into their lands. Few in the modern age even know such beings still exist in the few untouched places of the world. Many of them form plans in secret to attack and overthrow the humans, they simply bide their time until someone comes forward to lead them. As the years passed the world steadily grow darker, and fear soon became a normal thing for people. Merlin himself soon founded a school known as the Avalon Institute for the Gifted and Skilled, or simply The Avalon Institute for short, if hopes of finding the reborn King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table before it was too late. Some still follow Merlin and hope for the return of the King, while some have already lost faith, while others follow the dark teachings of Mordred and Morgana and look to stop the return of Arthur and his Knights.<br/><br/><hr class="bbc-hr bbc-hr--3"/><br/>Many years have passed since the prophecy was made, and still Merlin continues his search, but he doesn't have to look too much farther as some of the Knights have finally begun to be reborn and awaken.<br/><br/>"Hello and welcome, I'm Crystal Wright of the BBC News team! It's Tuesday October 8, 2019 and as you know that means its time for our special series for the month. This month we are taking a look at some of the UK's most unique and top school. Today we start at the Avalon Institute for the Gifted and Skilled. What makes it so unique is the fact that it offers both Secondary Education and University, and that enrollment in the school is very exclusive. Often limited to family of alumni, recommendations by alumni, or scholarships for things such as sports or even arts. The school grounds are extensive, including 4 state of the art dorm buildings each with private pools, a small shopping center at the heart of the campus, and it's own lake. Unfortunately Headmaster Martin Avery was unavailable for interview." The reporter said with a hint of annoyance in her voice. "Stay tuned after the break, when we'll be heading to Scotland to take a look at a truly unusual school! Some say it's students and staff are quite peculiar. You're watching BBC News, we'll be back after this quick break!"<br/><br/>Martin Avery, better known by his real name, Merlin turned off the TV in his office with a sigh and turned to the window and looked out on the school grounds. "Mordred's followers are getting desperate... They'll try anything to get on the school grounds..." he thought out loud as he watched a few of the students moving about 5 stories below his office window. He hoped one of these students was who he was looking for and he would soon get to reveal where Excalibur rested, in large maze like caverns under the school grounds. He had been waiting for a very long time for the return of the Once and Future King, or Queen.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:purple">Morgan Black:</span><br/>Morgan sighed as she packed up her backpack for the day's classes. She had been up late again trying out new spells, and had barely finished her homework. She knew Merlin wouldn't be happy with her staying up so late, but she couldn't help it, she had to plan the next meeting for the Magic Club, though it seemed to be more Witches Club these days. With another sigh she put her spell book in her bag as well then made one last check to be sure she had everything she needed before leaving her room. Her side was quite a mess, with notes, homework, and spell scattered about on her bed and desk. Some of the papers were parts of her homework she was supposed to turn into day, but she didn't realize it as she decided she had everything and left her room for the day. She made her way towards the small cafe located among the other stores at the center of the campus where a replica of the Sword in the Stone stood in the center of the court yard. If only the other students knew the real one was located somewhere on the campus as well. Though she didn't know its exact location.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:deepskyblue">Lucinda Greystroke:</span><br/>Lucinda sighed as her car pulled up to the gate of her new school, her parents couldn't even be bothers to take time off to see her start at the new school. Then again they had sent her away to the Wycombe Abbey School where she had spent the last several years. Now she was transferring to this new school after receiving a Scholarship for the Fencing Team after her last victory in the under-18 Amateur Fencing Tournament where she had won, and was hoping to win a spot at the Olympic Trials. She wasn't angry at them, as their work took up a lot of their time, but she did wish she would get to see them more often. But with a sigh she brushed the thought aside as the black car passed the gate and followed the roundabout to the entrance of the Administration building. The driver parked and got out before coming around to open her door and she climbed out and looked around. She couldn't see much, as the Admin Building blocked the view of the campus, but if the school was anything like the building in front of her, she was impressed and felt like she had just stepped into an old city from the past, in fact thoughts of Camelot came to mind, though she wasn't sure why she thought of that first.<br/><br/>Her driver soon had her bags out of the trunk and placed them next to Lucinda, he knew by now she hated being waited on. With a deep breath she took her bags and made her way into the building, stopping at the front desk.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:deepskyblue">"Lucinda Greystroke, checking in."</span>she said calmly to the lady who was sitting their looking at a computer.<br/><br/>"Ah yes Ms. Greystroke, we've been expecting you! Leave your bags here someone will be along to get them, you'll need to see the Deputy Headmistress, upstairs for your room assignment and scheduling then she will take you to meet the Headmaster." The woman said as she pointed Lucinda towards some stairs that lead to the 1st floor and a set of elevators which ascended the last four floors. With an arched eyebrow at the design choice Lucinda made her way towards the stairs and then the elevator.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">Priscilla Alexandra:</span><br/>Priscilla or Percy for short groaned as she woke up slowly, it took her a moment to realize the loud sound she was hearing was her alarm and she had overslept. With a start she quickly realized what the sound was and shot up in her bed.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"Oh crap! Is that really the time!? If I miss breakfast again...."</span>she complained herself as she jumped out of bed and started getting ready. Lucky for her, she had every thing organized and ready to go, a side effect of parents who expected the best of her. It didn't hurt that she always felt she had something important to do, or some where to be, so she made sure her uniform or normal clothes were laid out the night before. So with that she dressed quickly and grabbed her bag before rushing from the room, headed for the cafe and nearby cafeteria at the center of campus.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:red">Elisia Davenport:</span><br/>Elisia was an earlier riser and had been in the stables since just before dawn, she was making sure her horse and those of the Jousting team were properly fed and groomed. It was just another one of her many duties that she took very seriously. After all she was Captain of the Jousting team, so she had to make sure everything was ready for practice after classes. Once she was sure everything was in order she took her time walking to the Cafe located in the center of the grounds, it was an area that was often called The Camelot Town Center, a name which Elisia found to be rather interesting, considering that some of the students might even be reborn Knights or even King Arthur themselves. For her part she knew she was Sir Ector and took pride in that, though she could only really talk about that with Merlin, well Headmaster Avery in public. She didn't know about any of the others whom knew about their past lives, but she knew about hers, it was why she was a Weapons Master at the school and chose to teach others about Weapons and other things in her spare time.<br/><br/>As she entered the Cafe she was probably one of the calmest patrons there at the moment as several of the High Schoolers seemed to be in a rush, even though they still had about 45 minutes or more before their classes started. She attributed the rush to wanting to meet up with friends, or not having as tidy schedules as they maybe should have. Pushing the thought aside she waited patiently for her turn to order.
