Jacob walked up to King Madoc in the throne room of Camelot.
" Ah, my knight I, but before King Madoc continued. Madoc noticed a second sword at Jacob's right hip. Madoc could see that the sword was Clarent. The sword that formerly belonged to Sir Mordred.
Madoc looked at Jacob, but all Jacob had to say was " I too must bare a burden "
Madoc sighed, and then said " I see. What is it you wanted to talk to me about "
Jacob's white cloaked hood disappeared into thin air, then Jacob's upper armor disappeared into thin air.
Jacob then lifted the bottom of his white t-shirt to reveal a Pendragon crest tattoo on his stomach, and all King Madoc had to say was " Before I kill you for getting a tattoo. Do mind telling me why you have a tattoo, my dear knight "
" This is not exactly a tattoo, my king. It is more like a seal, and it is enchanted " said Jacob.
" How is it enchanted? " said King Madoc.
" I had lady Morgause enchante it for me. So no matter where I am. Or when I am. Simply call to me, and I shall be by your side " said Jacob.
" And why would you get such a seal " said King Madoc.
" For I was not at your side during Camlann. Which is a another burden I must bare, but now, and till the end of time. I have this seal. Which makes it possible for me to be forever by your side, my master " said Jacob as he kneeled in front of King Madoc.
King Madoc just looked at his dear knight who was in a lot of pain.
" What will you do now, my knight " said King Madoc.
" I will take some time away from Camelot " said Jacob.
" How long will you be gone for? " said Madoc a little sad.
" From your perspective. I will only be gone for a day, but from my perspective. I could be away for months or years " said Jacob While still kneeling in front of King Madoc.
" I see. So when you return tomorrow. I would like for you to be my general. I need you by my side. More than ever, my dear Jacob " said King Madoc with a warm smile.
" I would be honored to be your general, and I swear here and now. When I return tomorrow, back to Camelot. Then my King. I shall never leave your side again " said Jacob with tears in his eyes.
" Very well my knight. Good luck on your journey, and I hope you find what you are looking for " said King Madoc.
Jacob bowed before King Madoc, and then started to leave the throne room, and as Jacob was leaving. His upper armor and white cloaked hood reappeared back on him.
Jacob walked over to a small house within Camelot.
Jacob opened the door, and saw Nungal standing over Melehan and Melou. Who were both sleeping in their crib.
Nungal ran over to Jacob, and then said " Master you have returned "
Jacob closed the door behind him. Looked at his dear squire, and then said " Indeed I hope that Melehan and Melou were not much trouble "
" Are you kidding. I defeated Typhon and Humbaba. Two babies are a cake walk for me, but I have been wondering. Whatever happened to Merlin? "
" Merlin went to Avalon. To watch over King Arthur. As Merlin said: Arthur would not know how to survive if he was not there "
" That does sound like Merlin, but master you looked troubled. What is bothering you? " said Nungal worried.
Jacob put his right hand on Nungal's head, and then said " Listen, my dear squire. I will be gone for a day. I need you to watch over Melehan and Melou while I am gone "
Nungal got a shocked look on his face, and then said " But you will be helpless without me by your side "
" That may be true, but I do have Azrael and Hermanubis with me, and I also have the swords Zulfiqar and Clarent with me, so I should be able to survive "
Nungal started to get tears in his eyes.
" Listen. I will only be gone for day, and when I get back. I promise that I will do anything you ask, okay? "
Nungal wiped the tears from his eyes, and then said " You promise? "
" I promise on my honor as the dragon knight "
Nungal smiled, and then said " Fine, then I promised to watch over Melehan and Melou. No harm shall come to them while your gone "
Jacob smiled, and then Jacob stood back up and then teleported away.
The next day.
Jacob had returned back to Camelot.
Jacob once again opened the door to his (and Nungal's) small house, and walked in.
Nungal ran towards Jacob, and gave Jacob a big hug. Jacob then walked over to Melehan and Melou (who were sleeping in their crib), and gave them both a kiss on their foreheads.
Later, at the Morrigan's cave.
Lug stood in front of the Morrigan.
" Are you finally satisfied? " said The Morrigan.
" Of course not, but for now. I have decided to go on a vacation " said Lug.
" Then why have you returned to my cave. Did you returned just to tell me that "
" No. I want you to come with me on my vacation "
The Morrigan looked confused.
" Why? " said the Morrigan.
" As thanks for making a few exceptions to our deal, and besides I hear that you have never seen the outside world with your own eyes. You have only seen the outside world through your waters. So what do you say " said Lug with a warm smile.
The Morrigan thought about it for a second, and then decided to take Lug on his offer, and with that.
Lug and the Morrigan went to see the world.
