Chapter 132 - Chapter:131 “Heirs of the Twin Dragons”

Did you know Poser? The story of the Pendragon family and the Red and White Dragons?" she growled, softly.

There was silence as two ethereal creatures began to seep out of the gems and form around the knight, the observers could only gasp in silent shock as the twin white and red ghostly dragons glared down at Arthur. Snapping out of his daze the descendant quickly flooded power into Excalibur, once again being consumed in its black glow as Clarent began doing the same.

"The two dragons were some of the most powerful beings to ever have existed and had been fighting each other for as long as either could remember. One day their fight leads them to Britain where they were tricked into napping by the mortals and trapped within the earth, never to bother others again. Or so they thought," smirked the knight, her voice easily piercing the sound of the raging energies from Clarent and Excalibur, even as the twin dragons roared in fury.

There was silence around the battlefield as the observers just watched the two dragons grow to the size of the school building as the slowly circled Mordred, appearing to be almost be swimming in the air as they gracefully flowed around the battlefield. The two dragons were constantly trying to bite each other as they fought, their ghostly images destroying nearby structures and knocking many off their feet.

"Then one day a King wanted to build a castle on the very land which the dragons were buried, only to find his castle destroyed every night. Desperate he sought the help of a child named Merlin whom told the King to dug up the land around him, freeing the trapped dragons to continue their rampage," continued Mordred.

Arthur said nothing as he stared at the two giant dragons and, for the first time, a spark of awe managed to pierced the veil of hate that had consumed the descendant. However, this was quickly banished as Excalibur gave another horrid black glow and hate once again filled his mind.

"The King was then told that this was a sign that his heir shall rule all of Britain, hearing this he then ordered Merlin to take some of the lingering dragons' power and give it to his successor. And so his successor was blessed with the power of the two dragons, that King was called Uther Pendragon," spoke the knight in a soft tone.

"As time went on it would seem that he succeeded as his heir won victory after victory and eventually, 'his' subjects began believing 'him' and 'his' family to be blessed by the dragons, and even started calling the King a 'dragon in human form.' And not just any dragon but the 'head of dragons,'" explained Mordred as the draconic features on her body became more prominent.

"Then one day the King's sister, Morgan Le Fay, created a homunculus using the King's own blood, a clone with all the blessings of heritage that the King had to fight 'him.' And so once again two dragons fought each other on Britain's soil, destroying thousands in their wake just like their predecessors had. Tell me, do you know what the two dragons that started this were called?" she concluded, showing off her sharp fangs.

Suddenly the twin dragons stopped their fighting as they slowly turned to the still form of Arthur and his black Excalibur and gave another ear shattering roar. "By right of Blood and the name Pendragon, with the belief of the people and the memories of the Dragon stored inside me to give you form. I call upon you both now...Ddraig, Albion!" shouted Mordred.

Blessing of the Pendragons: Twin Guardians of the Dragon Throne!

The Knight's boots and gauntlets now had become spiked where the toes and fingers were, as the White Dragon rushed towards Excalibur's black flames while its red counterpart entered Clarent's blade. Arthur's eyes widened as he felt the power of Excalibur's attack grow weaker as soon as the White Dragon hit it, as if the dragon was dividing it. To make it worse another burst of crimson lightning erupted from Clarent and suddenly the force of the attack skyrocketed as the Red Dragon continued funneling itself into the Demonic sword, as if the dragon was boosting the demonic sword's power.

Everyone watched as the bloodied ground surrounding Mordred began turning into a welcoming grassland, and a calm feeling washed over everyone watching the fight. The red glow of her sword began to be mixed in with a bright green of her gems as the multi coloured lightning surged forwards and pushed the dark flames back.

Like a sword piercing through flesh the lightning cut through the black flames, the White Dragon's glow absorbing the sickening black glow of Excalibur as the red lightning rushed towards Arthur, and with the black light rescinding so too did the despair that the observers were feeling. For they knew that darkness was just the absence of light…and now, that light had returned to banish the darkness once again.

They knew that as long as that light remained, there was still hope…

Arthur's eyes widened at this sudden reversal of fortunes as Excalibur's flames were pushed back by the increasing power of Clarent's lightning…then he saw it…
