I have to think that not everyone in the magic community is fully aware of the prophecy of Albion, Arthur as the Once and Future King, etc., bc if they were, why tf they always trying to kill him??? I think the prophecy is so old and has been passed around so much it's like a game of telephone, so there's versions that are.......pretty far from the OG edition.
But Emrys, they know Emrys. They apparently have an ability to sense him, although that's hit or miss sometimes too. But not everyone knows about the other half of his coin, nor do they expect to ever see Arthur fucking Pendragon kicking it with a minor god of magic.
Imagine. You are a Druid. You live in Camelot. You have been caught by the knights. You are approached by none other than Arthur Pendragon. You fully expect to cross the veil.
And then.
He appears.
The man, the myth, the motherfucker himself.
Emrys.
Who walks right up to Arthur Fucking Pendragon. Calm as anything. Puts a hand on his arm. And tells him to let you go, you've done no harm.
And he does.
You have to leave Camelot, but you are allowed to live. And Emrys leaves with Arthur Pendragon.
You gotta imagine that these poor bastards are just left Shookethâ„¢ like
