At the start of the story, King Arthur is a young man, anxiously awaiting the arrival of his bride, Guinevere, who shares a similar amount of anxiety. [[Hilarity Ensues]] for a short while before they are married, but Merlin is abducted by Nimue before he can warn Arthur of the perils of the future.
