Arthur is furious to be humiliated and fires Merlin. Arthur accuses Valiant of cheating, but the only 'worthy' witness has died and a servant's word is useless against a knight. Sir Valiant has a magic secret weapon: a shield from which the poisonous serpents can come to life and attack. Uther holds an annual tournament for the knights, in which Arthur is the defending champion. Merlin interferes, saving Arthur's life, and is rewarded with a position as Arthur's manservant. At a feast, the disguised mother of the sorcerer casts a spell on the guests and attempts to stab a defenseless Arthur. Merlin disagrees, seeing Arthur as an obnoxious bully. He then discovers the Great Dragon, who tells him that he must protect Arthur until he becomes king and guide him to unite Albion. Merlin realizes he must keep a low profile. A hideous old woman, the condemned man's mother and a sorceress, vows revenge ("A son for a son!") before vanishing. On his arrival, he sees the execution of a man accused of sorcery as the King, Uther Pendragon, has banned sorcery on pain of death. The teenaged warlock Merlin is sent by his mother to lead an anonymous life in Camelot, under the care of the court physician Gaius. But Merlin faces a tough challenge in hiding his dark secret from his best friends. Merlin and Arthur must work together to protect the great kingdom of Camelot against dark sorcery.
