Archie/History

The history of **Archie**, the tritagonist of *Wizards*.

## Backstory

Archie was born the son of a famous dragon and since childhood he had the desire to see the world. When he had to choose his form, he chose that of a cat so that he could be a familiar and thus fulfill his own dream, something that his father rejected at first, but learned to accept with time.

At some point he became the familiar of a young wizard of Camelot, Douxie.

## 3Below (Part Two)

Archie briefly appears at the end of the episode "A Glorious End, Part Two", informing Toby and Steve (along with AAARRRGGHH!!!) that they are in grave danger and are about to face yet another apocalyptic catastrophe, much to their dismay. He then takes them somewhere to further explain the upcoming situation.

## Wizards

### Late 12th century

Archie the cat flies around Camelot for a while before landing outside a window.

### Bring the Guardians of Arcadia

Some time after the defeat of General Morando, Archie acted as bait for Douxie to catch a creature he suspected was responsbile for various missing pets. Douxie initially mistook the creature for an Umber Imp before Archie identified it as a Shadow Mephit. He proceeded to scold his friend for failing to brush up on his monsterology if he's to act as bait in the future. As Archie tried to gloss over their victory, Archie noticed the Mephit slowly escaping the trap and fails to warn Douxie before it was too late. Ultimately, Archie transformed into dragon form and shot the Mephit with fire, its weakness, before it could attack Douxie, allowing the wizard to banish the creature to limbo. Archie then noted how unusual it was for a lone Mephit to be acting alone, as they usually travel in packs.

Suddenly, all the lights in their vicinity went dark before they heard Merlin's voice, calling Douxie's name. As an excited Douxie proclaimed that their moment had finally arrived, a projection of Merlin appeared before them. Unfortunately, Douxie kept interrupting Merlin several times before the master wizard could get a word in. Ultimately, Merlin cut him off, declaring he's on a matter of most urgency and ordered the duo to gather the Guardians of Arcadia. As Merlin vanished, Archie teased Douxie that their moment as "errand boys" had indeed arrived.

### Bookstore attack

While Douxie searched for the Changelings and aliens, Archie chose to approach Toby Domzalski, AAARRRGGHH!!! and Steve Palchuk. Initially mistaken for a common cat, Archie then revealed his power of speech as proclaimed the three were in great danger; Steve panicked at the sight of a cat with glasses rather than his power of speech. AAARRRGGHH!!! corrected identified him as familiar, which he had to clarify to Steve meant "wizard assistant". Archie took offense to the label, insisting to be referred to as a "wizard associate". Hopping onto his two feet, he insisted they all accompany him before the worse comes to pass. Steve initially assumed Archie was threatening him before the familiar clarified that he was warning them all that another apocalypse was on the rise.

Archie then brought the trio to GDT Arcane Books, where they were met with Douxie and Merlin. As master and apprentice start debating, Archie struck AAARRRGGHH!!! on the nose for sniffing him. Suddenly, Merlin ordered them all to be silent as the shop was attacked by pack of Shadow Mephits; Archie answers to Merlin that he and Douxie did indeed lead their attacks to their location. As the Mephits attack and start phasing into the shop, Merlins ordered everyone to the roof. However, Archie was soon surrounded by Mephits, though fortuantely Douxie was able to snatch him before any harm came to him. Once on the roof, Merlin conjured up an airship for the group to flee to safety, though not before catching a glimpse of a fearsome Green Knight leading the Mephits.

### Meets Merlin

Past Douxie is operating an old-fashioned shell game con. Galahad decides to play the game, but loses. Galahad finds out Douxie is using magic to trick people. (Archie using his shifting powers into a ball game). Archie and Douxie flees, but ends up held at knife-point by Galahad and other knights. Galahad tells Douxie magic has been outlawed under penalty of death. Suddenly, they all freeze and their swords drop. Douxie and Archie is surprised to see Merlin approaching and thanks him for saving his life. Merlin agrees to take Douxie on as an apprentice. Archie joining with Douxie towards the castle with Merlin.

### Find the Genesis Seals

Douxie and the others mourn Merlin and Camelot. It's all gone. Douxie says Merlin didn't tell him anything and left him a book he can't even read. Archie read, it looks like ancient Draconic, as in dragons. They need to see Charlemagne. Douxie sends Claire back to Hex Tech so research dark magic that might help them.

Archie took Douxie to Charlemagne's den in order to decipher the ancient Draconic inscription in Merlin's book. Douxie founds out that Charlemagne is Archie's father. Archie explain to Douxie about his father.

Charlemagne has found his glasses and begins to read it to Douxie. He learns that the Genesis Seals can be reached by destroying his staff. Douxie isn't happy to.

Archie mediates between Douxie and Charlemagne. Charlemagne talks about accepting Archie's path to becoming a familiar and having to let him go.(Archie is embarrassing his baby of himself) food In order for Douxie to save the world, he has to let Merlin go and accept his new family: the Guardians of Arcadia. Douxie holds up the staff and allows Charlemagne to destroy it. Douxie is transported to a room, Merlin's studies. Douxie comes back out of the room with a container that holds the Genesis Seals.
