   Summary

   Immortality is seen as a gift bestowed upon demigods in ancient mythologies. But for Merlin, death is the greatest gift anyone can give him.

   Arthur Pendragon leads a solitary life until, in a spark of rebellion, he leaves his home to study painting in Camelot College of Arts.

   They meet, one with eternity of memories burdening his heart, and the other with occasional flashbacks. A journey through dancing in pubs, long nights spent in the library, piles of Shakespeare, bitter coffee, and walking through the woods, and at last, the "once" and the "future" clashes with one other. Destiny unravels.
