Jacob and Mordred are both on a Island. Getting some rare herbs for Amir.
" Word has it. That you have a squire now " said Mordred.
" Yep. He is full of energy, and has a lust for adventure, so I could not ask for a better squire " said Jacob.
" Where is he now? "
" He is with my master. Training "
" Wow. I must say. Madoc and Nungal have been training a lot, these past couple of days. I think Nungal wants to surpass you. You best not get sloppy in your training "
" Right back at you. I heard that you have not been keeping up with your training. I also heard that you have barely gotten any sleep "
" Yeah. That is what married life does to a man, but I could still beat you and your squire with one arm tied to my back " said Mordred with a smile.
" Ha. I might just hold you to that " said Jacob with smile.
Thereafter.
Two individuals started to approach Jacob and Mordred.
One was a man, and the other was a woman.
" Hello there. Are you two perhaps lost? " said Mordred.
" Mordred. Be careful. I am getting flashbacks here " said Jacob.
" Jacob. You and Sir Mordred are in danger. The man in front of you is Ares. The greek god of war " said Hermanubis.
" And the woman is known as Bellona. The roman goddess of war " said Azrael.
Jacob started to sweat, and then said " We are in serious trouble "
" They don't look like much. What a disappointment. It seems I got excited for no reason " said Bellona.
" Either way. Let us just kill them, and be done with it " said Ares.
" Wait. Kill. Why would you want to kill us? " said Mordred.
" We gods of war don't need a reason to battle or kill. We do it because we want to. That said. This time we are ordered to " said Bellona.
" Who ordered you? Was it Lug? " said Jacob, and Bellona just smile. Which made Jacob angry.
" Mordred. Do you have my back? " said Jacob.
" Of course. We are friends after all, and besides. I would never abandon you " said Mordred with a smile.
" Nor would I you " said Jacob with a smile.
Jacob and Mordred drew forth their swords, and readied themselves.
Bellona and Ares hit their swords on their shields, and then charged at Jacob and Mordred, and finally. All four. Banged their swords with one another.
The battle on the Island lasted for 3 days and 3 nights. It was truly a test in endurance, skill and teamwork. Which Mordred and Jacob luckily had.
So in the end. Ares and Bellona were defeated.
" Man! I am beat. That battle lasted longer than I wanted it to. I just hope. That Klara has not given birth yet " said Mordred, and then walked towards the boat, that got him and Jacob on the Island, but before Mordred could reach the boat. He passed out from exhaustion.
Jacob caught Mordred with his back, and then said
" You did very well. My dear friend. For now rest. For you have deserved it. I will make sure that you get back to your wife. Safe and sound "
Jacob then teleported himself, Mordred and the boat back to Camelot.
Later, at the Morrigan's cave.
" Why did you make them attack Mordred and Jacob. Instead of making them kill Arthur " said lady Morgana.
" Because that would not be fun " said Lug.
" I am not looking for fun. I am looking for revenge, and you said that you would help me get revenge " said lady Morgana.
" All in good time, my dear lady Morgana, for now. Why don't you take a little nap or read one of our many books. For the time being " said Lug with a smile.
Lady Morgana just looked at Lug, and then walked away.
" You are surprisingly patient " said the Morrigan.
" Well. As you have said. Mordred is destined to kill Arthur. So all I have to do. Is just be a little patient. Which means that I will have kept my promise to the lady Morgana " said Lug, and the Morrigan just sighed.
