How did Huw find himself back in the year 590 AD and how did he get there?
And who was Aneurin? How did Merlin arrange for Huw and Arthur to meet King Arthur and his knights on the field of battle? When Huw tells Merlin about his plans to visit China, Merlin predicts that he will be facing great danger.
