Camelot.
A place. Filled with myths and legends. A place. Many dream of going to, but right now. Near Camelot. Is Mordred fighting for his life.
Mordred is fighting a griffin.
The griffin is unyielding, and so is Mordred.
Mordred is able to cut off the griffin's right wing, and once the wing fell to the ground. Large amounts of blood. Come pouring out from the wound.
" Take that you flying rat, and I am not sorry for eating your eggs " Said Mordred.
The griffin now looked at Mordred with the intent to kill. The Griffin now charged at Mordred.
Mordred readied himself, but lost his footing.
" Oh shit…" Said Mordred as he was falling to the ground defenseless.
The griffin was about to land its attack, but that was when a slash of air. Coming from the nearby forest cut the griffin in two.
The two halves of the griffin fell to the ground.
Mordred got back up, and looked where the attack come from, and that was when he saw. His best friend Jacob. Fully covered in armor with a white cloaked hood on.
The armor was jet black.
Jacob had a dragon head on each of his shoulders.
The eyes on the dragon head on Jacob's right shoulder. Were glowing with the color purple. Because. That was were Hermanubis dweld. The eyes on the dragon head Jacob's left shoulder. Were glowing with the color blue. Because that was were Azrael dweld.
Jacob also had the faces of dragons, as his knee pads.
Jacob's helmet had an angry expression on it, and on top of the helmet were horns. The eyeholes of Jacob's helmet were glowing red.
Jacob's armor was also unik. Because it was not made by a smith.
Jacob's armor is a manifestation of Jacob's soul.
The armor can transform into anything Jacob desires.
Jacob refers to his armor as " Suit "
The armor is also harder than diamond, and Jacob also wields the legendary sword. Known as Zulfiqar. Given to Jacob. By his father. The archangel Gabriel.
Jacob was now standing in front of Mordred.
Jacob's helmet vanished into thin air.
" I had that " Said Mordred.
" Sure you did " Said Jacob and put Zulfiqar back into its sheath on Jacob's left thigh.
Mordred also put his sword back into its sheath.
Jacob walked up to Mordred. Put his right arm over Mordred's shoulders, and Said " Come on. Let us head back to Camelot "
" Sure " Said Mordred with a smile on his face.
As Jacob and Mordred were walking back to Camelot. They were also having a little chat.
" Man. I can't believe that 10 years have past by. Like it was nothing. Time really flies by " Said Mordred.
" Yeah. A lot has happened these past 10 years. Remember when sir Galahad, sir Percival and sir Bors went on that holy grail quest " Said Jacob.
" Yes I do. I also remember when pharaoh Tutankhamun. Heard that Galahad was trapped in a dungeon somewhere. The pharaoh literally brought his entire Egyptian army to Sarras looking for Galahad "
" Yeah. That was a bit overkill, but thankfully. Tutankhamun was able to find Sir Galahad and brought him back with him to Egypt. Where Tutankhamun would not Galahad leave. Until he was in good health again, so Galahad had to stay in Egypt for six month. Before he could return to Camelot "
" Well. It was also because of that. That Lancelot visited Egypt a couple of times. He wanted to see his son. So in the end. Lancelot got to see Egypt, and Galahad got back to Camelot in good health, and. I also heard that Sir Bedivere, Sir Lucan and Sir Tom have all gone traveling around the world " Said Mordred.
" Indeed, and Amir has also recently become the head physician of Camelot " Said Jacob with a warm smile on his face.
" Yeah. All us squires have become knights and Amir has become head physician. I am going to say it again. Time truly has flown by "
" Yes, but that is not all, that has happened these past year, Sir Mordred. You and Klara did get married this past year, so how is married life? " Said Jacob with a smug look on his face.
" It is not that bad. Me and Klara are very happy, so I could not ask for more " Said Mordred with a warm smile on his face.
Jacob saw Mordreds warm smile, and smilied with him.
" If I recall. You did cry a lot, at the wedding " Said Hermanubis, from within the right dragon head on Jacob's right shoulder.
" You call that crying? I would say that. Waterfalls come pouring out from Jacob's eyes " Said Azrael, from within the left dragon head on Jacob's left Shoulder.
" Shut it, the both of you " Said Jacob.
After awhile. Jacob and Mordred reached the gates of Camelot. Where they were greeted by the guards.
After walking even more. The two boys had finally reached the Inner castle, and walked within.
The two boys now stood in front of the doors that let to the throne room, and opened them.
In front of Jacob and Mordred, was the nobles, the counselors, some knights and at the end. Sat the King of Camelot himself, King Arthur, and to Arthur's left stood Merlin, and to Arthur's right. Sat his brother (also on a throne) Madoc Pendragon.
It is true, that Mordred and Jacob have become knights. Which means that they are no longer squires, but Jacob has become Madoc's faithful servant, and still calls Madoc, master.
Mordred has also become Arthur's faithful servant, and with Merlin. Protects and helps the King. Whenever they are needed.
Jacob and Mordred bowed before Arthur, but Arthur seemed distracted, so he did not notice Jacob and Mordred at first.
The two boys first looked at Merlin, who just shrug his shoulders. Then they looked at Madoc. Who gestured that the two boys no longer need to bow, so Jacob and Mordred went and stood with the rest of the knights.
For awhile. The throne room was quite, but that did not last. Because suddenly. The sound of music could be heard from outside the throne room. The doors to the throne room opened, and in walked the black rose Emperor, Lucius Rose, with some of his men.
Lucius walked up to Arthur, and Said " Hail to you, King of Camelot "
Arthur was unfazed, but after a few seconds, Said " What do you want? Lucius "
" What do I want? How about a thanks, for me, the Emperor of the world, coming straight to your doorstep. To see How you were doing "
" I am honored that you took time to come and see me, so I thank you " Said Arthur in a depressed tone.
" I see, that the death of your son still haunts you "
Said Lucius.
The room fell quite.
" I heard that your Queen, the lady Guinevere. Has been on a vacation, for quite some time " Said Lucius.
" Indeed. She has returned to her homeland, and with her is sir Lancelot, sir Galahad and sir Loholt " Arthur was silent for a bit, but then he continued
" The loss of Gwydre has affected both me and my Queen, and the loss of a child. Is not something that a parent can get over that easily. Regardless of years "
Everyone in the throne room were silent.
" Listen Arthur " Said Lucius and walked closer to Arthur " I can't imagine the pain you are in, right now, but all I can say is. If anything were to happen to my son, Markus. I truly believe, that my entire existence would become meaningless, and I also regret the fact, that Markus and Gwydre were not able to meet, so I say this now. Not as the Emperor of the world, but as your friend. If you need anything, then don't hesitate to come to me "
" Thank you very much for your kindness " Said Arthur.
Lucius nodded, and then exited the throne room, and went back Rome.
Later, at sunset.
Jacob was standing over a certain mountain, that overlooked the whole of Camelot.
" It is truly beautiful, no matter how many times, you look at it " Said Gabriel. As he was walking up to Jacob.
" Indeed, and I also want to thank you once again, for the sword (the Zulfiqar) " Said Jacob.
" No worries, my son. After all. I am your father, so I should spoil my child every once in awhile "
Jacob smiled.
Gabriel and Jacob looked at Camelot for awhile.
" Has your resolve changed. Over the years, my son " Said Gabriel.
" No. I still intend to fight, for King and country " Said Jacob without hesitation.
Gabriel looked at his son, and smiled.
Much later, at night.
A hooded man could be seen walking into a certain cave.
The man walked up to the waters in the cave, and took off his hood, and then yelled " HONEY I AM HOME! "
The waters in the cave did not move.
" Oh come on. Look I am sorry for not keeping in contact with you, but I am here now, so let us not fight, please " Said Lug, and after a few seconds. The waters in the cave started to bubble, and out come the Morrigan.
" We are not upset for you not keeping in contact with us, Lug. The reason. That we are upset, is more about you having returned " Said the Morrigan.
" And here I thought that our marriage was a happy one " Said Lug.
The Morrigan got a annoyed look on her face.
" Okay. Enough of the crap, and straight to the point. I want some more fun, so shall we say, the same deal as usual "
" Have you not brought enough sadness on Camelot and her people, by now "
" Not even by a long shoot, besides. You were the one who said that Madoc Pendragon was not destined to die. Since he is destined to become the present King of Camelot, so all I am doing, is having a little incident fun, but this time. I have brought a guest "
The Morrigan had a surprised look on her face, and after a few seconds. A another person could be seen standing besides Lug. The person took off their hood, and Morgan le Fay was now standing in front of the Morrigan.
" There is truly no end to your evil schemes " Said The Morrigan with a sigh.
" Seems you have figured it out. According to our deal. Whenever you bring back someone from the past or future. I have to stay in your cave for three days, but that rule does not apply to the lady Morgana, so she can be my little helper on the field "
" I do not care. As long as I get my revenge on Arthur for killing my beloved Accolon " Said lady Morgana.
The Morrigan had once again a surprised look on her face. Lug saw the Morrigan's surprised look, and then Said " Yes. It was your brother. King Arthur that killed your beloved Accolon, and I did promise, that I would help you get revenge. So Morrigan. Do we still have a deal? "
" Very well Lug. Who do you wish to bring? " Said The Morrigan.
" Alright. Now let the fun begin, once more " said Lug with a huge grin on his face.
