		Then he found the boy's mother, who was the king's daughter, and she swore that it was true, that she'd never known a man but had been visited by a demon in the night, an incubus.
		And Emrys declared that there were two dragons, two worms, beneath the rock, and that it was their fighting which shook the rock in the night so that the castle fell down.
		Then Emrys declared that the white dragon represented the Saxons and the red dragon the Britons, and that they would fight for many years; but although the Saxons would win for a while, in the end the Britons would drive them into the sea.

		The Mabinogion tells us that Dinas Emrys was the place where the Celtic God of Health and Healing, Lludd Llaw Ereint (the Silver-Handed) buried two fighting dragons on the advice of his brother Llefelys.

		Merlin first appears in extant records (Armes Prydein, Y Gododdin) from the early 10th century as a mere prophet, but his role gradually evolved into that of magician, prophet and advisor, active in all phases of the administration of King Arthur's kingdom.
		The original story was presumably invented to save his mother from the scandal which would have occurred had her liaison with one Morfyn Frych (the Freckled), a minor Prince of the House of Coel, been made public knowledge.
		The stretch from Vortigern to Arthur is itself unlikely and early versions of the "Vortigern at Dinas Emrys" story give the fatherless boy as Emrys Wledig (Ambrosius Aurelianus) who was living in Campus Elleti in Glywysing.
