    Great read. Good job.
    10 years of grinding followed by 10 actual years of ruling.

    But what you just translated said she hid her identity for 10 yrs :I
    After she pulled out the sword, it should be 20 yrs, shouldn't it?

    No, it's her training to be a knight and ruler since age of 5, and then pulling the sword at age of 15, Camlann happening when she was 25.

    EDIT: Unless I'm misinterpreting something, but I tend to err on the side of 10 year long reign, unless it's completely clear to my it's otherwise.

    I'm guessing he meant hiding her identity for 10 years as a king.
    There are some other lines in the other chapters in Merlin's POV talking about Guin swooning over Saber for 10 years from her pulling the sword to killing Vortigern and finally getting married to her, and Saber's ten year reign over all of Britain starting after Camelot's construction.

    So I posted (a version of) this in the Q3 thread but figured why not here as well with what being Garden of Avalon stuff.

    Is Enkidu Ron (as in Rhongymdlagias or whatever)? Or Ron's prototype or something?
    Just asking because Ron's job is holding Age of Man in place over Age of God, or something. And Enkidu can't be Ron's equivalent for Age of Gods because that was Solomon's thing, if I remember correctly Solomon was the King of Magic, and his death accelerated the decline of magic, tha's all.
    Solomon's stuff

When Solomon, the very king of magecraft, passed on, the decline hastened until finally, 500 years ago, the age of gods came to an end.

    And, well,

    Fate/Strange Fake
    Enkidu materialising as Lancer was probably due to his Noble Phantasm. However, it was not entirely correct to call it a Noble Phantasm.
    A chisel that linked the Gods to mankind, that was the true nature of Enkidu.
    It was said that Gilgamesh was a chisel born to Earth because the Gods did not wish to lose power and wanted to be forever worshiped.
    Maybe he forgot, or maybe he just disregarded the order, but in the end Gilgamesh did not fulfill his duty. In fact, he ruled as if to drive mankind away from the Gods.
    Enkidu was the spear of discipline that was supposed to impale Gilgamesh ---- a weapon forged by Gods that penetrated all enemies and returned the Chisel (Gilgamesh) back to the Gods. As a result, there was a high likelihood that he would be chosen as Lancer by the the Holy Grail.
    Also, his Noble Phantasm --- a strike that turned his own body into weapon, was most representative of his Lancer class.

    He would pierce and bind worlds.

    If there was a wall between the Heaven and the Earth, he would pierce it.
    Just like Gilgamesh's rebellion, the Gods miscalculated again with Enkidu.
    The "weapon" descent to earth and acquired intelligence through interactions with men. He wished to connect the world of Gods with the world of men in his own way. Returning the chisel to the Gods, by closing the distance between Gods and men.
    In other words, the Gods shall not control men.

    And men would advance to the level of Gods.

    He thus chose to become a "system".

    He would become the weapon of the King that ruled the mortal world, and expend himself for the purpose of advancing the world.
    He chose to become a "man".
    He would stand beside the King and dispel his solitude.


    As the world quakes around Enkidu...
    The Planet wailed.


    Mana gushed from below Enkidu and engulfed the strike of Enuma Elish.
    "... don't hold back."
    He was not talking to the Heroic Spirit he was facing.
    Like the King of Heroes talking to Ea...
    He was talking to the mana that was enveloping the space-shattering Void... or rather, he was talking to the Planet itself.
    "I am the weapon, wield me to your content."
    In an instant, as if the gush of mana prior was just a prelude, several times more mana erupted from the ground. A tornado of magical energy enveloped Enkidu's body.


    It was a concept that propagated life.


    An ember formed to traverse the terror at genesis.


    One that made hell paradise.


    Unfazed by the separation of Heaven and Earth.


    From past to future, from future to eternity.


    Connecting the land and the sea to the sky.


    Because life was carved with the terror of sin, men shall even purge their genes.


    An amorphous mud puppet. He was a weapon and an instrument.


    Walking amongst men, he was called a friend.


    Since the world was already hell, humans shall make it a paradise and purge the fire of genesis.


    "ENUMA ELISH (Humans, Bind Thy God)!!"


    Opposite of Ea, this was a strong strike surrounded by divine wind aimed at the sky.
    The Spear of the Gods Enkidu bound the torn World together and advanced forward, clashing with the Sword of Rupture Ea, which was fracturing the World around.

    Nothing new really. He had already appeared in that Drama CD that came with the Unlimited Blade Works DVD.

    Also, he had a minor role in the Tsukihime anime....


    By the way, my guts hurts from too much laughing upon seeing they choose Sakurai Takahiro for Merlin!

    I was almost expecting Miki Shinichiro to voice Merlin, but I love Sakurai Takahiro. ^_^
    Ok, TM, what are you up to?!
    We all know you got Kawasumi Ayako and Sakurai Takahiro to voice the King Arthurs of Fate/stay night and Fate/Prototype, respectively.
    Then you got Saber's seiyuu, Kawasumi Ayako, to voice Fou (obviously Merlin in disguise) in Fate/Grand Order Drama CD.
    and now, you chosen Proto!Saber's seiyuu, Sakurai Takahiro, to voice Merlin in Garden of Avalon Drama CD?!
    Hmm...

    Are we implying that Merlin might be Proto-Arthur from the F/P universe that used magic to drop himself into the mainstream F/SN universe?
