This post will definitely not be anywhere near just bashing on the guy, but am I the only one that finds Merlin very peculiar? I mean when the guy was nine months old he looked as if he were a year old! I guess some people are just fast growers. Which would make sense as to why when he was eighteen months the kid was forming full sentences and scared all the women out of the tower. Must have been one ugly kid.
Now don't get me wrong, Merlin is a great guy. I love him to death, after all he did tell Arthur that I, Balin, am one of his most brave and noble knights. Just his back story really freaks me out that's all.
The greatest thing of all about Merlin, is that he helped King Arthur's father, Uther, form the Round Table. This table was for the remembrance of the last supper with the Lord and his twelve disciples. I feel so blessed that this table was created because I am able to be a member of this table being one of Arthur's great knights.
It is a great honor to be associated with Author because of how he was raised by Merlin and Uther together. Merlin helped bring Uther and Igraine together to craft such a wonderful human, Arthur. But I still do not agree with the whole cheating thing..
Merlin is one of the only men, aside from Arthur whom I would trust with my life and I proved that. He was the one who led me to the castle where I was to fight a knight. The ending didn't really turn out how I imagined especially since I ended up killing my own brother without realizing it, but I would never and will never blame Merlin for what happened that day.
Farewell for now,
Balin

I do agree that Merlin is quite strange. He is a wizard though, and they tend to be a little weird.
