his adventure in the magic world.

Merlin decides to take on the role of tutor to Wart and teach him his magical ways. For example, he
teaches Wart to transform into many different types of animals. Wart’s brother Kay becomes jealous of
the new knowledge and fortune that Wart has gained. As such, Wart asks Merlin that Kay also be
involved in their lessons by turning him into an animal also. However, Merlin declines.

Merlin then sends Kay and Wart on an an adventure into the Forest Sauvage, where they meet Robin
Wood, who explains to them that the witch Morgan Le Fay has kidnapped Friar Tuck. Kay and Wart
manage to invade their stronghold and get them back to safety.

As the years pass, Kay becomes prepared to take his knighthood and Wart continues with his education. It
is then revealed that Uther Pendragon has died and he has left behind no heir and that the person “Whoso
Pulleth Out This Sword of the Stone and Anvil, is Rightwise King Born of All England." A tournament
then arises with all the men competing to take out the sword.

At the same time, Merlin’s tuition of Wart has finished but he reveals that they will meet again soon. Kay
orders Wart to go look for his sword for the tournament, and Wart then discovers the sword in the stone
and pulls it out. He then gives it to Kay. Kay pretends that it was him who was able to pull out the sword.
However, when he is made to prove it, his falsity is revealed and Wart is declared King.

Wart is initially upset about being crowned king but comes to terms with it. Merlin then visits and reveals
that his true father was Uther Pendragon, and Merlin then declares him as “King Arthur. ”
