your little party for Mr. David, young David.”
Merlin waves his hand and Wendi falls to the ground. Before anyone could say more, they hear the sound of footsteps coming around from the front of the house. Merlin thinks fast and makes everyone in the backyard disappear by turning them invisible, including all of the decorations. David strolls into an empty backyard.
“Where is everyone now?” David says as he glances at the empty house and backyard. He walks into the middle of the backyard, scratching his head.
Everyone yells surprise! David falls over due to the shock. Some people start to laugh aloud as other people gasp.
Merlin strolls up to David, puts out his hand to help him up, “Happy twentieth Birthday!”
David faints.
After a couple of minutes, David comes to and realizes that Merlin is one of the many people standing over him waiting for him to wake up. David stands up and shakes Merlin’s hand to thank him for coming to his twentieth party. Everyone chuckles as David is shocked by how many people have shown up. His older brothers, Dave and Gale, and his older sisters, Sara and Joanne, have all created small families of their own. There are people from town that knew Lardeo family. Everyone has an enjoyable time playing games, talking, and eating until dusk. People start to bid everyone else good-bye and leave to go home. A couple of people stick around to talk and hang out until the sun comes up.
“It looks as if everyone has had all the fun that one can have,” Markus says, standing next to Merlin and David, sipping on a fruity iced down drink. Wendi comes over holding one of the last sandwiches made for the party.
“Do either of you want this?”
“I would love to have it; if that is okay with you two?” Merlin inquires about the sandwich.
“I’m not very hungry,” David says rubbing his belly.
“Neither am I,” Markus adds.
“I guess you are the winner of a new ham and turkey sandwich,” Wendi tosses the sandwich to Merlin as he smiles back at her. He unwraps the sandwich and takes a bite just before David starts asking all the questions he ever wanted to know.
“How old are you? Where do you come from? Why are you all alone all the time? Do you have parents like me? Who are your parents? How long have you been doing magic? Can you time travel?”
“I am 5,000 years old. I do not remember where I came from, due to the fact I have no idea whom my parents are. There was a couple that raised me from the time I was a baby to when I became a young man, and then time started to slow down for me. I do not age like everyone else. I have been doing magic ever since I can remember, and I think that is why I do not age like everyone else. Yes. I can time travel, but that is a whole different story that is too long right now,” Merlin stopping to take a couple of more bites of his almost finished sandwich.
Markus signals David to ask the question that has been on both their minds. David shakes his head and Markus nods back to him.
“What else would you like to ask me?” Merlin says with a little grin at David.
“Well I, ah, would like to ask if you take on any apprentices. Like maybe a young man that finds you very interesting and loves everything that you do?” David finally gets it out.
“No, I am very sorry, but I do not. There is only one of me, and there is a good reason for that. Which I cannot tell you. Ever. I am very sorry,” Merlin tries to lets David down gently but it begins to back fire on him.
“You mean I’m not someone that you would be willing to train in the art of magic? Or am I just not a magic type of person?” David says sarcastically.
Markus figures it out and comes to Merlin’s defense, “What he is trying to say is he is very special, and he cannot teach you anything that could be taught to an ordinary person.”
All this information hits David like a ton of rocks because he realizes that he is a normal person and nothing can change that. David
