Transcriber's Note
In a moonlit gallery within Merlin’s enchanted palace, the ancient wizard contemplates the unseen forces that pulse through every heart. Beside him lies Arielle, a delicate genius whose slumber holds the promise of awakening a deeper wisdom. When Merlin’s son, Lancéor, approaches, the presence of the mysterious Joyzelle adds a new tension to the night, hinting at destinies that have yet to be spoken.
The opening act weaves lyrical reflections on power, love, and the hidden gods that dwell in ordinary souls. Merlin struggles between his role as a keeper of secret virtues and the yearning to guide the younger generation toward their own awakening. As Joyzelle steps into the circle, the characters must confront what it means to see beyond shadows and to trust the fragile thread of fate that binds them.
