Somehow though, I kept reading the slash dragons typically mysterious pronouncements as meaning that Bradley was a reincarnation of Arthur, but not aware of it. I kept expecting a moment where either he or Merlin would realize that. But then of course, that still brings up the question of where is the original Arthur.

I also keep wondering with the whole "once and future" bit, if the Arthur we know (and Merlin too) have appeared before (6th century maybe?). Perhaps this is why there are so many different versions of the Arthurian legends?
