Tobias Snape. He was the happiest man for the past 2 days. He was so wealthy that he could buy anything. Maybe get a new house and then live off the good interest on the money.
But, a drunkard always thinks about drinks. So, he actually just rented a small apartment over a liquor store, like a lion making its home near a rabbit hole.
He would buy liquor every day. It was his substitute for water. He even bathed in his for some weird fetish. He was happy leaving his family behind and blessed Magnus every time he drank.
But his fun came to an end when the police knocked on his door. They searched his apartment and found so much cash. It was obviously suspicious.
So, they checked it. And found it to be money belonging to the bank, as the cash Tobias had, had a code that was not yet issued to anybody.
So, he was taken into custody. Even though he tried to tell them it was not his money, nobody believed him. He was found red-handed and there was enough evidence to put him behind bars. The bank never issued a public statement because they were ashamed as they didn't even know when the bank robbery took place. Since then, Tobias Snape disappeared from the world's eyes.
...
Magnus had actually sent a letter to the police the day he took money from the bank. He felt distasteful stealing money so he actually put 1 million into his own account there first. This way, he was just taking his own money.
But he had no idea what had happened to Tobias. Because he was on his way to his castle now. It was very far away, on the western coast of the United Kingdom.
They flew for hours to reach there. But, they couldn't find the location at the shore. So Magnus asked Merlin in the portrait.
Merlin quickly voiced, "Haha, of course, you can't find it. It's my CASTLE. Also, it's not just on the shore, it's actually an island, west of the Northern mainland. It was fully enchanted by me and that is why none know of it.
"Just follow the coastline until you will start feeling a ting in the head, Magnus. From there, head left, over the sea. Soon, you will enter a magically protected area and that's it. Also, it's better if you enter first as your blood will let you see the island but others can't. It is like a Fidelius Charm but much bigger and better."
So, Magnus followed the instructions after having Bobby sit with Ragnar on the broom. Merlin and Arthur's portrait also demanded that they stay outside with him.
After travelling north on the coastline, Magnus finally felt a ting in the head. From there, he took a left. He continued to fly for several tens of kilometres. After more than an hour, he finally felt a little strange. As if, there was a barrier in front of him.
He warned his friends, "STOP! Wait here for me."
He knew this was it and excitedly headed right into the barrier. He felt as if he was passing through an invisible wall. He also felt as if something scanned him. Soon, the tingling in his head turned into the happy chirps of a bird.
"Don't tell me... this island is sentient?" He asked Merlin's portrait.
"Hehe, yes and no. At most, you can call it a quarter sentient. It does not understand complex feelings. It just exists and is alive in a way. Go on, you will see the island soon." Merlin seemed as excited as Magnus.
Magnus did not stop. He made his broom go faster. Eventually, he saw something on the horizon. There were hundreds of black spots.
Slowly, he came closer and was left in awe. The whole shoreline had small mountains at equal distance, on each mountain was a humongous stone statue, wearing armour and holding a spear.
"WOAAAAH!... They are so awesome." Magnus shouted in excitement.
*SHHHHHHHHHHHH...*
As soon as Magnus reached the shoreline, all the statues took to the knee, as if saluting a king.
"They can move?" He asked.
Merlin answered, "Of course, I studied the Sentinels at Hogwarts heavily and then added my own magic. All these sentinels you see are the guardians of this island. It's the first line of defence. Don't take them as a joke, they can throw their spears at the speed of sound and as long as they are connected to the ground, they can keep on summoning more spears."
Magnus awed at them, "This... is so AMAZING. You're a genius, Merlin."
"Heh, glad you noticed." Merlin sarcastically replied.
"I bet I could have defeated them with my Excalibur." Arthur also voiced.
"Of course you could. It was an enchanted sword, one of its kind." Merlin talked back.
But Magnus ignored their bickering and returned to call in his friends. Then, he showed them the sentinels. They too looked at them in awe.
"How big is this island?" Bobby inquired.
Magnus did not know, so he turned to Merlin. Merlin answered, "Umm... about 200 kilometres in all directions."
"THAT'S HUGE..." Ragnar exclaimed.
"Keep on flying to the castle, the main course is still remaining." Arthur nudged.
Magnus looked forward to seeing what the castle looked like. Since he heard about owning it, he wanted to see it. And now, his expectations were reaching the sky because of how blown out he was by just the sentinels.
As they flew by, they saw so much diversity in the environment on the island. There were tall mountains, there was a small desert, there were jungles and also grasslands. It was a cluster of everything earth had to offer.
"WOAAAAH... What are these two statues now?" Magnus asked. In front of him was a huge valley, on whose sides were 2 giant statues of what seemed like robed people with staff.
Merlin explained again, "This is Wizards' Pass. Beyond this point on the island, all magic based on bad intention gets banned. If you try to do it, then these two will send a very strong punishment towards you. Well, not you as you're the boss."
"Can it differentiate between jokes and really bad magic?" Ragnar asked.
"Yes, that it can, otherwise, I would have died much earlier, pranking Arthur." Merlin jokingly answered.
Magnus and the rest passed under the raised arms of the Wizards' pass. They felt as if they just got covered under a layer of magic from that point.
They again saw various changing landscapes, but, all the main stuff was mostly in hilly green areas.
It took them 1 hour to reach near the centre. From a distance, they saw a giant plateau, going in a circular shape for as long as they could see. Coming closer, they found it was not a plateau but something similar to what they saw on the shore.
These were all manmade structures. A giant wall, made with morphing mountains. The whole wall had many peaks and each peak had a giant sentinel with a sword near its chest, held in a knightly pose. Each mountain supporting the Sentinel was also a castle in itself.
"What are these called?" Snape wondered.
This time Arthur answered, "These are all called Home Sentinels. Like those on the shore, they are meant to protect the insides of the island. They can fight very well, all of them have their fighting abilities mirrored from me."
Magnus with sparkling eyes looked at each of them. Each such giant sentinel depicted one Arthur that could cut mountains.
"Why did you even need all these? Who were you protecting the island from?" Bobby asked.
Everyone wondered the same hearing the question.
Merlin snorted, "Huh, can't a man have some ambitions? We just wanted to make a wonderful place for ourselves... so we went a little overboard. Still, in those times, wild dangerous magical beasts and dark beings were much more prevalent."
"Also, none of these Sentinels can leave the island, so it was just for homes safety," Arthur added.
"OKAY... ask questions later. These Home Sentinels mark the start of the main castle area. Just a little more in and you will see the main thing." Merlin insisted they continue.
They did exactly that. Magnus was in the lead. The landscape now remained green, with lots of lakes, grasslands and mountains.
Then, finally, Magnus came to a big opening and in a distance, he could see some structure. Cones of a building to be exact.
But, as they moved closer, their heads started to sweat. The scale of the building was beyond their wildest dreams. They thought it was impossible to beat Hogwarts in size, but here, in front of this building, which could be a Castle or maybe a Castle-city, Hogwarts seemed like a child.
There was a boundary wall, going around the whole area. Then there was the Castle, which just kept on going higher. It was unknown if it was a mountain or just a building, but they had a feeling it was the latter.
The highest point of the castle was as high as the tallest mountains in the surrounding region, and those mountains actually had snow at the top. Even around the castle, there were clouds here and there. It had white-ish walls and orange roofs. There were so many buildings that Magnus estimated a big metropolis could be established in it.
"THIS... IS... CRAZY!..." Magnus exclaimed. The scale was mad. But, that was not it. It was beautiful and well kept.
"HAHAHAHA..." Arthur started laughing with pride.
"Ah, I guess we did go overboard with this," Merlin muttered while stroking his beard.
"What is the name of this castle?" Ragnar asked.
Finally, Arthur revealed, "Welcome to the real, CAMELOT. Both, the island and the castle are called that."
Magnus nodded. It made sense, what else would it be than Camelot.
"Does anybody live here?" Magnus asked.
"Why don't you find out yourself, you own it after all?" Merlin replied with a smirk.
Excitedly, Magnus zoomed towards its entrance gates. He wanted to walk towards the peak of the castle, experiencing all that it had to offer. But, as soon as he stepped inside the boundary gates, he saw some movement.

As soon as he entered the boundaries of the castle, in front of him, a white horse appeared. But, when looked closely, he found it was actually a unicorn.
And soon after, many more magical animals as well as normal animals started coming out of the different alleys. There were more unicorns, lions, wolves Hippogriffs, big magical snakes, Nundu, Occamy, Sphinx, Griffin, Zouwu and many more magical creatures.
All of them, even though so many of them were biologically each other's enemies, they were still there together.
"Woah... where did you all come from?" Magnus asked.
*PURRRR...*
Zouwu was the first to get closer to him and started smelling him. Maybe it confirmed something and the next moment, it excitedly started licking his hand.
"Hahaha... you're like a huge cat." Magnus chuckled while petting it.
Then he looked back at the various animals. Merlin at the same time cleared the confusion, "I'm glad they are all still living together like a family."
"Who took care of them?" Magnus asked.
"WE DID." All of a sudden, a voice came.
Magnus turned towards the voice and found a large Centaur there. Then a Goblin came to its side, and then a Veela. After that, all of them kneeled.
"Welcome back, your majesty," they said it together. In fact, the animals had also bowed their heads.
Magnus was taken aback, all he knew that these intelligent species were very prideful and never bowed to anybody. Why were they doing it for him, a human?
"Ah, don't do that. Kneeling is so old fashioned. We shake hands now." Magnus said.
"NO! Traditions must be kept. Each generation we have learned about the rightful king's return, each generation trains itself to be of use to the rightful king, and at last, our generation got the honour to see you. We cannot shame our ancestors by disrespecting you." The Centaur spoke in his majestic voice.
Merlin spoke from the portrait, "I am proud of you all. I brought all these magical and non-magical animals, and you all intelligent species on this island as an experiment, to see if we all can coexist. I was afraid that by the time an heir is chosen and returns, you all would have killed each other. BUT! I am happy that I was proven wrong. You all did very well, children."
*LICK*
"HAHAHA..."
Magnus's concentration was broken by a laughing sound from behind him. He turned around and saw his friends being greeted by the animals. Ragnar was so scared of the Nundu that was checking him out, Snape was surprisingly petting a snake. Then there was Bobby, shockingly, a baby Phoenix had come from somewhere and it was now at the movement in the process of grooming him by licking.
Unicorns were the only bunch still maintaining a distance as they were a very shy and prideful bunch.
"You made this castle?" Magnus asked Merlin.
"Yes, not just this castle but every single inch of this whole island, even the island itself. Every single grain of this island was made with my magic imbued in it. I used all kinds of magic and artefacts I collected from around the world. This island is made of magic, or it would be right to say, it is magic." Merlin revealed.
"Where are all the humans?" Arthur quickly asked the Centaur.
"There was a war, they killed each other." the Centaur revealed.
Arthur felt saddened by this. "Well, I guess we're a hopeless bunch."
Magnus sighed, "I don't know what to say about this but I can kind of imagine what would have happened. Humans are very quick to pick weapons at each other on the point of difference in opinions. OKAY, don't turn this gloomy, what are your names?"
The centaur introduced himself first, "I am the chief of Centaur tribe, Arcilus."
"I am Goldruk, chief of Goblin tribe here." the goblin greeted.
The finally, the beautiful Veela spoke, "And I am Sylvie, the matriarch of Veela tribe."
Magnus felt a ting in his head when he heard her voice, but, it seems the magic of the island stopped any hormonal changes in his body.
He smiled and introduced himself, "Thank you for taking care of this place. I am Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon. I hope to work alongside you all in the future."
"Oh, we're not the caretaker of this island. That would be the Grand Elder." Goldruk suddenly spoke up.
"There is someone with authority over you?" Magnus questioned.
"Of course, and she can be very scary sometimes. If you break rules, she makes you work until your body breaks." Sylvie shuddered just imagining it.
Even the majestic and proud Centaur was shivering.
~Woah... she's gotta be some scary person then.~ Magnus thought.
"Where can I meet the Grand Elder?" Magnus asked.
"She lives in the Royal Castle, keeping the place clean and beautiful with her own hands." Arcilus, the Centaur answered.
"Hmm, can you lead the way?" Magnus requested.
"Of course, please follow us." They started walking up to the royal palace at the top. Magnus, on his way, saw a lot more Goblins, Veela and Centaurs, living together, smiling and also bowing towards him.
There were not a lot of them though. Goldruk told them that there were Goblins, Centaurs and Veela as the only intelligent species and there were about 400 of them all combined. In fact, there were a lot more animals on the island.
So, the huge City Castle had just 400 people living in it. Magnus was going to keep it that way, he'd rather have a peaceful small community than a chaotic big one.
"What do you all even do?" Magnus inquired.
Goldruk answered, "We mostly do smithing, enchanting and rune smithing, Centaur are good at travelling around so they are responsible for growing food in the fields, they also make very good potions. Veela, on the other hand, makes clothes and other basic necessities items. Our community may be closed but were are not dependent on the outside world."
"That's amazing. Do you know about the outer world?" Magnus inquired.
Arcilus replied, "Of course, every once in a while, a Goblin goes out there. They just go to sell or buy some special items. But they bring back newspapers from both magical and muggle world."
"None of you ever felt like leaving this Island?" Bobby asked.
Sylvie shook her head and answered, "No, we dislike the world outside. We know that were are considered lower than humans. We are discriminated against, so why would we want to live in that racist world? In fact, we pity all those that live outside."
"That is correct. Humans have refused to join together, again and again, it is clear throughout history. Be it muggle it, wizards." Ragnar said, as a first-hand victim of human monstrosity.
"AH, we're here, you may go inside. We are not allowed to enter without her permission." Arcilus stopped.
They were standing in front of a huge door. That was the only way to enter the area beyond.
Magnus nodded and went to push the door. It opened as easily as pushing a feather. The door fully opened, revealing the main castle of the king.
"OH... I missed this place so much." Arthur commented.
"Which one of you actually ruled this place?" Snape asked them.
"Oh, I had actually given it to Merlin, but, as the king, I was still the ruler. The other Camelot in the human world is already gone, destroyed by my so-called successors." Arthur explained.
"Wait... so this is where the real Round Table was formed?" Magnus asked in excitement.
"No, the real Round Table was formed in the muggle castle, we didn't make this place till much later. But, the real Round table, the one at which we sat is actually here." Arthur revealed.
Magnus was looking forward to it now. "Okay, let's meet this Grand Elder first."
He and his friends entered the castle. They were calling for this Grand Elder but nobody came to greet them.
Merlin told them the way towards the throne room. So, they eventually came to the hall. It was big and empty, there was only one place to sit at the end, it was for the king. Behind the throne was the dragon emblem.
"GRAND ELDER... WHERE ARE YOU?" Magnus shouted.
Nobody answered, so Magnus went to the throne and sat down on it. "Ahhh... this is very comfortable. I feel so sleepy just by sitting."
"Hehe, let me try too." Bobby came running. Magnus let him sit on it too, as the throne was too big for his little body.
"ME TOO..." Ragnar and Snape soon joined.
Arthur and Merlin chuckled. The throne belonged to the king of Britain and there were 4 kids, playing with it.
"Hehe... so he's the new king?" all of a sudden, an extra voice came. It was a female voice.
Magnus and the rest turned to look where it came from but there was nobody.
"IS THAT YOU, GRAND ELDER?" Magnus asked loudly.
"Hehe, yes, It's me, Your Majesty." the voice replied.
"Where are you?" Magnus asked.
"Behind you." the voice shocked the four of them sitting on the cramped throne.
"AAAAA..."
