Ero's POV

The first time when I first met Merlin and Arthur? Well.....let's just say it was because of the intertwined fate that led us to each other......

Flashback

There I was, trying to find all 10 of the legendary relics and  I managed to find four of them. For others, they thought that was because of my luck that I managed to find them, but for me, it was because of the help of my friends that I managed to find them, and now, being at the fine age of 15, I was halfway through my journey together with my friends in finding the fifth relic but, well, let's just say I was magically transferred into another world and found myself standing in front of a young man with an older, and I mean about two years older, man standing behind the younger man, folding his arms across his chest. The younger man almost hit me on the face with his wooden sword but I managed to block the younger man's swing and saw the two men staring at me in surprise.

"You know how to do swordplay?" The older man asked me in surprise and I nodded.

"You seem experienced. You have learned it for quite some time didn't you?" I nodded at the older man's question again. "For how long?" The older man asked and I frowned, thinking for a reply to prevent the older man from freaking out.

"For five years since I was 10." The older man looked at me in surprise and I nodded at what he was thinking. 

"Yes, I started training in swordplay at an early age. It is to prevent us from being killed in battle if that happens." The older man nodded and took out his hand for me to shake.

"I'm Merlin. The younger man that almost hit you with that wooden sword is Arthur, Arthur Pendragon." I took Merlin's hand into a firm handshake and smiled at Arthur, who smiled shyly at me. 

"So you're like, learn magic and something like that while Arthur learns swordplay? That's so cool!" I said suddenly, my teenage self bursting through  Arthur laughed at how cute I sounded.

"Well, if you put it that way......then yeah, I suppose," Merlin said with uncertainty in his voice as he chuckled at Arthur and my antics. 

After talking for a few minutes, I felt something in Arthur, Merlin, and I click and I knew deep down that the three of us will become best friends, and I was right as I knew my intuition was never wrong about this but one thing I was never sure of was how one of us was still alive while the others in our trio die.
