I promise I am working on finishing stuff, but I can't help writing new things at the same time. The prologue runs as a series of news snippets.

The Daily Chronicle:

Horror in the home.

The news broke today of the abuse and terror of the Blessed Care home. All of the children had been taken there because of their powers. Some of them removed from their parents by the state for - it was originally stated - the families own good.

Others had been offered up for care their parents signing over their children's rights to the supposed carers that ran the facility.

It has been revealed that experiments were run on the children, many of the details cannot be stated here, but the abuse was sustained over the months and years that the children stayed in the hands of the so called welfare state.

Abuse Exposed

It was only the work of the Camelot Foundation that realised the extent of the damage. And only that because of the secret investigation an offshoot of the main corporation ran, with the full endorsement of Camelot's CEO Uther Pendragon.

The children had been returned to their parents, all contracts with the alleged facility terminated. Of the children whose parents were un-contactable, they have been placed into foster care, pending the enquiry.

Lost Boy Taken In

Of the final child revealed in the scandal, named 'Merlin', Uther Pendragon took steps to take custody of the child, despite fears of the power the boy held. Mr Pendragon only gave one statement following his decision.

"The boy in question is only eight years old, abandoned by his parents and left in the hands of the institute. This place has inflicted abuse on magic users in the name of science, and on children. I will see that this behaviour ends, and by my own conviction it would be remiss of me not to practice what I preach."

Beyond his initial statement Uther Pendragon remained unavailable for comment. However, it can be confirmed that the boy arrived with Mr Pendragon at the home that he shares with his adopted daughter Morgana, and his son Arthur Pendragon.

Neither Morgana le Fay nor Arthur Pendragon were available for comment at the time of going to press.

Uther Pendragon has refused to comment beyond his official statement.
