The Dragons/Camelot

 


In the days when dragons roamed the earth turning people into toast, a mighty King lived in the magical castle of Camelot in the beautiful land of Avalon. Guided by the great wizard Merlin, this King became a legend and his name was Arthur.
The trouble with legends is that every time their stories are told they become more and more fabulous, so useless twits are often turned into superheros.
This is the true story of King Athur, who was not a superhero. He was a nasty little spoilt brat who was totally up himself.
Or was he...?
