When Myrddin is barely a toddler, he already shows signs of having powerful magic. So, fearing for his safety, Hunith takes him to a hidden druid realm in the forest of Ascetir. The druids accept Hunith and Myrddin, on a condition that she allows them to raise her child as one of them: they don’t raise their children gendered, instead letting a child choose - or, not choose at all - when the time comes.

Meanwhile, in Camelot, young Arthur learns to be a warrior king, which apparently means training to kill and never crying.

But one day, Myrddin and Arthur’s paths cross… in a most unexpected way.
