Druids for Beginners

Centuries before the enchanted age of Arthur and Merlin, the young Celt Ainvar spoke these words: "Mine was the vast dark sky and the spaces between the stars that called out to me; mine was the promise of magic." Ainvar, an orphan taken in by the chief druid of the Carnutes in Gaul, possessed talents that would lead him to master the druid mysteries of thought, healing, magic, and battle—talents that would make him a soul friend to the Prince Vercingetorix, though the two youths were as different as fire and ice.

Ainvar's destiny, however, lay with Vercingetorix, the sun-bright warrior-king. Together, they traveled through bitter winters and starlit summers in Gaul, rallying the splintered Celtic tribes against the encroaching might of Julius Caesar and the soulless legions of Rome. Ainvar's vast, dark sky and the spaces between the stars that called out to him, as well as the promise of magic, would guide him and Vercingetorix in their quest to defend their people's way of life.

The bond between Ainvar and Vercingetorix was forged in the crucible of their shared struggle against the Roman invaders. Ainvar's druidic powers, combined with Vercingetorix's strategic brilliance and the valor of their Celtic warriors, made them a formidable force to be reckoned with. They fought fiercely, driven by a deep-rooted love for their homeland and a determination to preserve the rich tapestry of Celtic culture.

As the months and years passed, Ainvar and Vercingetorix's friendship deepened, transcending the boundaries of their different natures. Ainvar's contemplative, mystical spirit found solace in Vercingetorix's unwavering resolve, while the warrior-king drew strength from Ainvar's unwavering dedication and spiritual guidance. Together, they weathered the storms of war, inspiring their fellow Celts with their unwavering courage and unshakable unity.

Yet the road they traveled was not without its trials and tribulations. The might of the Roman legions was formidable, and the Celtic tribes, long divided, were slow to unite under Vercingetorix's banner. But Ainvar's vision of the vast, dark sky and the promise of magic sustained them, fueling their determination to fight on and ultimately secure a future for their people.

In the end, the tale of Ainvar and Vercingetorix became the stuff of legend, a testament to the power of friendship, the enduring spirit of a people, and the unbreakable bond between the mystical and the martial. Their story would echo through the ages, inspiring generations to come to stand firm in the face of adversity and to never lose sight of the magic that lies within the heart of the land they call home.
