Prologue - Aiden, Your Guide

Protectors of the Realm are everywhere. We just can’t always see them.

Greetings to you weary traveler. Come and find rest and healing as we delve into fantasy of myth and forgotten lore and get a good God praise or two thrown into the mix. My name is Aiden Haliburton and I’ll be your guide.

This story might not always make complete sense since it is a God inspired work of art. It will do what God plans for it, for sure. It’s a bit of a journey piece, kind of like the other stories on this blog. 

So, let’s saddle up our horses and get ready to ride. The great adventure starts now.

Blazing trails, that’s what I do. I’m a bit of a time lord. No, not Dr. Who or anything like that. I transverse history, our own personal history and connect that to myth, lore, fairytales and such. It’s a real fun but challenging job. I gotta be connected up to God at all times since he is the real guide in this story and not me

I am calling this journey Protectors of the Realm. God is our protector and like the knights of old we seek God’s guidance to safeguard the realm. Like Aries, the first sign of the zodiac is a pioneer, we will take the lead and leap forward in faith trying to find our way to the conclusion. In lore they call that a happily ever after moment. That is our ultimate goal.

Maybe that is why I am so focused on this particular story about the rich king who lost not only his lady but his connection to God. This guy used to be a piece of work. You know him as King Midas. He was all about the money, touching things and turning them to gold. After he lost his lady, his world spiraled downward. He is definitely living life in the struggle right now. He is so down he even changed his name and moved to a new town. But I don’t want to get ahead of myself. Let me first tell you about Faith.

This Faith is more than a character. Even Arthur is more than a character. He is actually a real person but history speaks of him as if he was a story character and not a real man. This woman just recently discovered that Faith was her true name. Somehow she had an internal knowing about this name. Just like she knows one of her past lives is Maiden Marian. I am sure you are getting my drift. These fictional characters… they are truly real people. Their history has been hidden in mystery. You call it fiction. They know they are real. This truth is about to start coming out like gangbusters. What you see on tv news, that is fiction. And fiction is really reality. It’s really just a bunch of mixed up tales and quite fun to transverse.

Faith finds herself in a Brigadoon type of land where the entire household has been asleep and put into a type of limbo for a great number of years. She doesn’t realize that Arthur has manifested her and brought her forth. Marian is his lady love. And in her past life she was Marian.

Talk about a guy in the struggle. He manifested Marian through his grief. He has lost his faith over losing his lady. And like a lot of humans do, he blamed God. That is Arthur’s story to tell so I will let him do it while I look around and see where Faith has wandered off to. Oh, I’ll pop up from time to time. No worries. I’m not a bad penny or anything, but I’m sure you get the analogy. 

By the way, Arthur, his true last name now is Pendragon. You have probably heard of him. History called him King Arthur.
