The Ark Of Mordred, Knight Of Rebellion

But this time, the child didn't have the time to stroll around to find the weapon. Instead, time was of the essence as the cage closed in on her body fast. Midori sprinted forward, desperate to find a weapon that could help break the spell.

But no matter how far she ran, Midori couldn't find anything. The child's legs were starting to feel sore from running around. Then, just as she would admit defeat, Midori slammed right into another being standing in the middle of nowhere.

Poor Midori nearly had a bruise on her forehead by ramming right into a suit of armor. The child looked up to see the devil himself... Or so, she thought. Who could have blamed Midori? The being who stood in front of her was fully clad in thick armor with designs of red everywhere.

But what freaked Midori out was the helmet with two giant horns protruding upwards that resembled a bull. The being turned and revealed a large sword made of metal and the same red designs on the armor. The handle was bandaged in red, while the pommel was a small round knob.

The hilt was straight and the same width as the blade. There were metal sticks at the two tips of the hilt connected to the sword. The being full turned around and made its way to the child on the ground.

Midori was still scared for her life as the being got close. Once it was about a meter away, the unknown person stabbed the sword into the ground while using both hands to hold onto the pommel.

"Do you require assistance to find a sword? If so, I'm more than happy to lend you mine. However, I can only allow you to use half of its strength since you aren't strong enough to use it at full power. Therefore, attempting it would be akin to suicide," said the armored being with a feminine voice.

Midori figured that the woman was the same as the one in her head a few moments ago since both had the same voices. But both voices sounded coarser than what a lady would say. Instead, this woman stated more... Berserk and animal-like.

Then, the helmet deconstructed itself out of nowhere as it revealed the person behind the berserk voice. To Midori's surprise, the being didn't look like a monster. It was indeed a woman, but she looked pretty in Midori's eyes.

The woman's eyes were piercing, emerald green, while her hair was a washed-out blonde tied into a small ponytail with a medium-length fringe parted in the middle. A crimson ribbon held the ponytail in place.

The woman closed her eyes and jerked her head upwards to show an excited expression towards the child.

"So what of it? Would you like to use my sword?" asked the lady.

Midori nodded as she got up from the ground.

"Yes... I want to use your weapon to win the fight!" shouted Midori with her eyes flashing green.

The woman smiled and started chuckling at the confused child.

"My name is Mordred Pendragon, the one who brought down the legendary King Arthur to his knees during the battle of Camlann. I am the one and true heir to Arthur Pendragon. I was one of the Knights of the Round Table that served in the land of Camelot."

The woman's armor shined bright red as it disintegrated into red dust—a gust of wind brushed by the woman, taking the red dust with it. Midori was surprised to see a young teenage girl staring right at her. Mordred was small in stature as she revealed herself in her regular outfit.

The outfit was entirely in red with some yellow stripes. The Knight wore sleeves that were long enough to cover the elbow. There was a choker around Mordred's neck and a two-piece of red cloth at the sides of her hip.

Red cloth-covered her crotch while a thicker fabric covered her small chest. Overall, the outfit was quite revealing. But Midori didn't mind as she looked up at Mordred to wait for the weapon.

"I am the Knight of Rebellion, and I, at this moment, permit you to wield the sword that killed that King," announced the woman proudly as she pulled the sword out from the ground.

The woman handed Midori the sword by the handle while going behind the child. Mordred continued to stay close to Midori as both girls held up the blade to the highest point Midori could stretch.

"Don't worry, kid. I will be here to support this attack. However, I can't fully control you since you are still awake. After this, your mind will sleep, and I can take over if you'd like. After that, it is up to you as I see you as a Master now."
