Ep 6: The Knight and his destiny

Alexander: Burning sword!

He slashed the Dragon with his sword. That attack parted it in the half and it exploited leaving only ashes. The Dragon was defeated once for all.

Alexander: (As fainting) Father… Mother… I avenged your death!

Alexander's behavior was normal. He was on the ground, he felt exhausted and his sword turned back to normal.

Helena: (Running to him) Alexander! You made it! You defeated the Millennium Dragon!

Alexander: (Feeling weak) I did it! (Smiling a little) My parents can rest in peace.

Helena: (Thinking) "What happened to Alexander? That power affect his mind"

At that moment, the King Carl and his army arrived to the field and meet them.

King Carl: There is Alexander! And his partner.

Alexander had his head on Helena's lap.

Alexander: Thanks to take care of me.

Helena: (Little blushed) Sure.

Queen Mary: That kid, defeated the Dragon.

King Carl: So the prophesy was true, he was the one to defeat the Millennium Dragon and saved our Kingdom. He got the title.

Helena: The title?

King Carl: Yeah. (To his army) Everyone, Alexander Drake defeated the Millennium Dragon and now he will be known as The Dragon Knight!

Suddenly the dragons which were attacking Demitri and the others, stopped and retrieved.

Master: The dragons are escaping! What's going on?

Clyde: Look! The Millennium Dragon was destroyed. It seems Alexander defeated it!

Demitri: (In shock) What?

Demitri and the rest of the young knights realized King Carl's announcement about Alexander's victory.

Alexander's voice: Using all my strength and with Helena's help, I became in the Dragon Knight. Also my skills increased after defeating the Millennium Dragon.

At castle; King Carl was giving a speech. The people was in that reunion.

King Carl: Artemis Kingdom! I have good news! The most powerful beast, the Millennium Dragon has been defeated. And all thanks to this young knight. The son of Percival Drake. Meet Alexander Drake, the Dragon Knight!

Alexander was in front of the people.

King Carl: Alexander, our people are thankful for your courage. Your father would be proud for your bravado.

Alexander: Thanks.

King Carl: Artemis Kingdom! Here's our savior! Alexander Drake! The Dragon Knight!

The people was cheering and clapping knowing the news. But Demitri seems angry.

Cassandra: Alexander became that great knight. I wish to be at his side.

Later; Alexander was in front of other young knights.

Alexander: Pals, I'm glad you survived in the attack. Even Cassius didn't make it, we must be ready to protect our home.

Clyde: Yeah, Alexander. Lead us!

Alexander: Sure…

Then he realized Demitri was ignoring him and was angry.

Alexander: Something wrong, Demitri?

Demitri: You! It's supposed I should be that knight from the prophesy! You stole my chance!

Alexander: Listen, I didn't want to do that, but my parents deserved been revenged.

Demitri: Screw you and your parents!

Alexander: What's wrong with you Demitri? We are friends…

Demitri: (Suddenly taking his sword) Shut up! We're not friends! I quit from this!

Demitri run away. Alexander seems worried.

Alexander's voice: At that moment, Demitri disappeared. It seems he abandoned the kingdom. To an unknow place. That was the last time I talk with him. At least…

At night; the victory party continued. Alexander and other members of Academies were enjoying.

Alexander: I didn't know the last time we have peace.

Clyde: Yeah, after many battles, we need a relax.

Alexander: Do you know where's Demitri?

Clyde: No, I can't find him anywhere.

Alexander: He didn't seem happy for my action.

Clyde: By the way where's your partner? I thought she was invited too.

Alexander: She said she was busy so she won't come. As expected from a wizard.

Master: Everyone! This party is for bringing this victory against that mythical beast. Our King is here to join with us.

Then King Carl and Hestia arrived.

King Carl: Where's our hero? Alexander Drake.

Alexander: Yes my lord.

King Carl: After seeing your act against that beast, I realized you had the same courage like your father. Our Kingdom deserves the next generation to bring peace. So with this, I decided to give my daughter's hand in marriage.

Everyone were cheering of his words, especially Hestia.

Hestia: (Happy) Really? Thanks father! Alexander with our union, we'll have a peace and happiness for our Kingdom!

Alexander: (Little uncomfortable) Yeah, but… (Imagining Helena) Well…

King Carl: So what do you say, Alexander? You could be my successor if you marry my daughter.

Alexander: Sorry my lord, but I can't accept your daughter's hand.

Everyone were confused of his rejection. Hestia was in shock.

King Carl: But Alexander?

Cassandra: (Who was hidden with other guests) He rejected Princess's hand? Maybe it's because of…

Alexander: My King, sorry but I'm not ready to assume a great responsibility of the Kingdom, even for Princess Hestia. I wish continue my duties as knight.

King Carl: I understand. It seems you want to find your lover by yourself.

Alexander: Yes.

King Carl: Okey, please keep giving us your strength to protect our home.

The guests were confused for Alexander's descision. Hestia seems in deep sadness but also rage.

Alexander leaves the party. Cassandra realized his behavior.

Cassandra: I see, he likes her.

Outside the palace, Alexander was walking at the big garden. He was looking the moon at the sky.

Alexander: Why I rejected the Princess? Maybe I'm not enough for her? Or because I don't like her at all.

Then he saw someone there. It was Helena who was using a beautiful dress. Her beauty combined with the night.

Alexander: Helena?

Helena: Alexander. You leave already? The party is going on.

Alexander: I was bored so I decided to go home. What are you doing here?

Helena: I finished my works at home so I expected to arrive the party but I didn't expect you are leaving.

Alexander: It's because I had a hard moment, so I wanted to leave.

Helena: Too bad because the big dance started without you.

Alexander: Well, I'm not a good dancer.

Helena: I get it. Then… (Showing her hand)

Alexander: Eh?

Helena: (Little blushed) This is the part you have to ask a lady the dance.

Alexander: Okey. May I ask you this dance?

Helena: Yes.

Alexander and Helena embraced and began dancing at night as the moon brights. A beautiful moment of them.

Helena: Alexander, can I ask you to go to the lake with me tomorrow? After our training session at morning.

Alexander: Sure.

At other day, Alexander and Helena were talking in a boat on a lake.

Alexander: (As rowing the boat) After training this morning we can relax here.

Helena: I know you have to behave serious in front Princess Hestia. Even you rejected her proposal from his father.

Alexander: (Removing his helmet) I don't know how long I must be acting in front of the Princess.

Helena: Being honest with yourself. You have to take your decision as a knight, Alexander.

Alexander: Thanks, Helena. You were more like a friend to me.

Helena: (Blushed) Ah! You don't have to say those things to me!

Alexander: You should learn a spell that allow you to be more grateful.

Helena: Hey! Don't make laugh of me!

Alexander: Take it easy.

Helena: Whatever, I have to return, my friend is waiting for me. See you later.

Alexander and Helena returned to shore and left. Princess Hestia saw them and felt angry at seeing them together.

At a hideout; some Dark knights were planning something.

Dark knight 1: Our last attack failed. Those young knights are becoming stronger.

Dark knight 2: And all because of that kid who killed the Millennium Dragon.

Dark knight 3: That gave those people the courage to face our monsters!

Mysterious guy: (Appearing) No problem. Because I know how we conquest.

Dark knight 1: What? Who are you?

The mysterious guy was revealed as Demitri.

Demitri: I was that knight's friend. I costed me a lot to find your hideout.

Dark knight 1: What are you doing here?

Demitri: What about if I give you the key of victory?

Dark knight 1: How?

Demitri: If you let me the leadership of your army, we can destroy this kingdom.

Dark knight 2: You want to betray your home for joining us?

Demitri: Of course, that blonde bastard took my opportunity of the tittle of Dragon Knight. I want to see him suffer!

Dark knight 3: What could you give us as part of the plan?

Demitri: I know our army, also there are two persons who would like to help us.

Then two girls appeared. They were Master Raven and Princess Hestia.

Demitri: The master of magic academy Raven. And the Princess Hestia.

Raven: Why comforming in this time? I know the spell for conquering a new timeline in future.

Dark knight 1: What?

Hestia: I was surprised to know about ruling a new kingdom, also master Raven used it to bring a tool of that time. (Showing a modern gun)

Raven: I was able to extract this spell from Feuerborn family. This magic is very rare so they were the only ones to keep it.

Demitri: You used one of your students to obtain that magic.

Raven: I know this spell but consumes a lot of mana.

Demitri: (To the Dark knights) So? We have a deal?

Some days later; Helena and Cassandra were training with magic attacks.

Cassandra: I can still reach your level. I won't be the second place in magic master.

Helena: Sure, but I'm still better. (Suddenly she was serious) Cassandra.

Cassandra: What is it?

Helena: I present a terrible moment. It seems something really bad is going to happen today. So I need you to ask something.

Cassandra: What?

Helena: If something happens to me, promise you will send this book to my relatives who live at East from Artemis kingdom. (Showing an old book) This belongs to my family from many generations. It can't be lost no matter what, it will be useful in a future.

Cassandra: (Taking the old book) Helena, don't say something sad! We won't die if we join our magic…

Helena: Maybe you could survive, but I had a bad dream that my life would be finished. I didn't want to tell to my parents, to not putting in danger.

Cassandra: You had a dream? It could be a premonition!

Helena: I'm not sure but I won't let everyone suffer because of it.

At other side, Alexander was training with some knights.

Alexander: We're improving more about our skills.

Knight 1: Yeah, it looks awesome.

Knight 2: Keep teaching us, Dragon Knight!

Suddenly a master appeared in front of them.

Master: Listen everyone! It's reported a group of Dark Knights are coming to attack. We must be ready!

Alexander: They don't seem to give up!

Later, the group of Dark knights arrived to the kingdom and began the attack. The knights of Artemis kingdom defended with all they have.

Alexander: Today they seem stronger. Don't let them enter the palace!

At a hidden passage, Clyde was walking then someone appeared in front of him.

Clyde: (Ready to attack) Who's there?

Demitri: (Feeling pain) Help me, Clyde! Those Dark knights have advantage!

Clyde: (Helping Demitri) Demitri! Where have you been?

Demitri: I tried… to get here… to advise about this attack…

Clyde: No!

Demitri: Why are you here?

Clyde: I was notified to seal these passages to avoid any invasion from outside.

Demitri: So these are the way to the palace? I knew you know these ways, that's why I followed you. (Taking his coat)

Clyde: What do you mean?

Demitri: (Removing his coat) I mean this! (He was wearing black armor)

Clyde: (In shock) Demitri! What are you wearing the armor of the Dark knights?

Demitri: (Smiling evilly) Thanks for this information, sadly I can't let any evidence.

Clyde: (Scared) But Demitri we were partners! You can't…

Suddenly Demitri used a slash and killed Clyde with no mercy.

Demitri: (Using telephatic call) I found the way to invade the palace, follow me.

Then a huge group of dark knights attacked the palace of the kingdom.

Alexander and his group confronted the dark knights, but they used evil creatures that made them quite difficult.

Alexander: (As fighting against some creatures) They are using more of this creatures! What a pain!

Knight: It's an emergency! The Dark knights invaded the palace. We must go to save our King!

Alexander: What? Oh no! I must…

Immediately Alexander run and headed to the palace in a hurry.

Alexander: I must save the King and the Queen!

In the palace, King Carl and Queen Mary were in a locked room.

King Carl: It's impossible those Dark knights could enter the palace!

Queen Mary: Our guards are busy handeling those invaders. We must be here to be safe.

Then someone opened the door. It was Princess Hestia.

Hestia: Father! Mother!

King Carl: Hestia! Where were you been? They are attacking us!

Queen Mary: I'm glad you are safe.

King Carl: Hurry, we must go to other place. They could find us.

Queen Mary: Yes, let's go Hestia.

Hestia: (Smiling evilly) Sorry, but your rule is over today.

Suddenly Hestia used the gun and killed Queen Mary with a shot.

King Carl: (In shock) Hestia? What did you do? Why?

Hestia: Sorry father, but I have a deal with those dark knights.

King Carl: No way! The Oracle was right! My own daughter was a traitor and doomed my kingdom! I spent all these years to follow the good path.

Hestia: Did you think I'll follow the words from an old man. (Pointing the gun) This is over, good bye, father.

King Carl: NOOO!

Then Hestia shot to her father and killed him with no mercy.

Alexander arrived at the castle but saw that King Carl and Queen Mary were killed. He felt sorry for not defending his kingdom as dark knights were being supported by more mythical creatures.

Alexander: (In depression) No! I couldn't save them. (Imagining his parents) Like my parents. I have to find Princess Hestia!

Alexander tried to find the Princess but she was missing, then he saw that his group was also being annihilated.

Alexander: I must go to the town, she could be there! Also Helena.

Then Alexander went to the town to find his friend Helena and Hestia, but that town was also annihilated. He saw many people murdered.

Alexander: (Terrified) It can not be! The people! I hope Clara had escaped at time. She told me she went to a trip.

Helena: (Appearing behind him) Alexander?

Alexander: Helena, are you okay?

Helena: (Feeling sad) Yeah, but my family, my neighbors…

Alexander: There are many corpses, those Dark knights invaded the palace. King Carl and Queen Mary were murdered. I'm looking for Princess Hestia.

Helena: It can't be! The Artemis Kingdom is doomed!

Alexander: There's nothing we can do, the dark knights are attacking all the kingdom. We must go.

Helena: Alexander, I should have been with your group. We would have had a chance to defeat them.

Alexander: Now what?

Helena: We must go to that island; we could be safe for a time.

Then they sailed to an island, until they arrived to an unknown terrain.

Helena: Alexander, I have to tell you something.

Alexander: What?

Helena: The dark knights attacked my town because they were looking for me.

Alexander: Why you?

Helena: They are looking for me to use the spell of the future. A spell that serves to be reborn in the future time and to continue with its conquests. It is like eternal life. Only my family knows this secret spell.

Alexander: No way! If they learn that spell, all history could be dominated by evil.

Helena: I was in other place with my friend. I didn't expected they were searching the spells from my family.

Alexander: Then we must…

Hestia: (Appearing to them) Alexander!

Alexander: Princess Hestia, you are safe! I'm glad.

Hestia: (To Helena) So you must be the Sorceress that is with Alexander. (Smiling) Nice to meet you.

Helena: Princess Hestia, how did you get here?

Alexander: There's no time. We must protect her to keep the Kingdom.

Helena: Alexander, there's something wrong here.

Alexander: What do you mean?

Helena: One of those Dark knights is a friend of yours. I recognize his voice in that army. He betrayed us!

Alexander: What? Who?

Suddenly, a dark knight appeared behind the Princess grabbing her from behind.

Alexander: Princess!

Dark knight: So you are the Dragon Knight that defeated many of my army before.

Helena: That voice, you are the strongest dark knight, Demitri.

That Dark Knight removed his helmet, he was Demitri.

Demitri: That's right, I was sent to capture the Princess and obtain the magical spell for future life.

Alexander: (In shock) No way! Demitri! Why?

Demitri: (Smiling evilly) This is the price for taking what was mine! The tittle of Dragon Knight!

Alexander: You plan to travel to the future? (Taking out his sword) You won't travel to future to alter the history!

Alexander went to attack Demitri who left Hestia. The two knights were fighting very hard. After a difficult battle, Alexander was able to defeat Demitri.

Alexander: (Angry) Why? Why you betrayed your own people for a stupid thing?!

Demitri: A pretty face like you never understand about honor! My honor!

Hestia: (Approaching to Helena) Hey, do you know the spell for future life?

Helena: Yeah, it was for an emergency in case of there were wizards to use to travel to future…

Suddenly, it's heard a shot; Alexander realized that Helena was shot by Hestia, who had a handgun.

Alexander: (In shock) Helena! (To Hestia) why? Princess, why did you do that?

Hestia: (Smiling evilly, while pointing the gun to him) Alexander, how foolish you have been.

Demitri: (Waking up) Ha! You didn't realize? Princess Hestia was who gave us access to the palace and the kingdom! I allowed her to follow you to find the Sorceress, your friend.

Alexander: Hestia! How could you?

Hestia: Because I wanted to live eternally and I expected you live with me and future timeline, instead of this old timeline.

Alexander: No! That's not the good way!

Hestia: If only… (Getting upset) you love me! And you rejected me! But you preferred that bitch! So I made a deal with the dark knights to obtain the magic spell.

Helena: (Wounded) How… did you… obtain that weapon?

Alexander: I didn't know that kind of weapon! Where is it belong?

Hestia: Well, a good friend of you know the same spell like you but not powerful. So she gave me an item from the future. (Imagining what she said)

Helena: What? No! She couldn't… Cassandra, no!

Hestia: She's older than you but she domains magic like you.

Alexander: (Upset) Hestia! How could you do that to your own kingdom? To your parents! I fought to protect our home and you joined those guys to destroy!

Demitri: Enough words! (He took his sword and stabbed Alexander) Your days as Dragon Knight is over! Die Alexander!

Alexander fell to the ground bleeding. Helena realized that.

Helena: Alexander!

Hestia: (Pointing to her) Now, Sorceress, tell me the spell for Future life!

Helena: Go to the hell!

Hestia: (Pointing to Alexander) Tell me, or I'll finish him.

Alexander was too weak to get up.

Alexander: (Bleeding) Helena, use your healing magic and escape yourself!

Helena: I don't know the full spell, but my magic book is in home. In that, there's the spell you want to know but only a sorceress can make the spell. I won't tell you the spell!

Hestia: Well it's a shame. (Then she shot Helena three times)

Alexander: (Crying) STOOOOOOP!

Hestia: Don't worry, darling. You can go to heaven together. (She shot him many times too. The scene turned in black) I guess we have to go back that town to ask her about the spell from that book.

Demitri: Yeah, let's go! Our time to conquest the modern timeline await for us.

Alexander's voice: That moment my life was in danger and I almost die, but…

Later, Alexander and Helena's bodies were abandoned. Then Helena was trying to wake up but was bleeding. She realized Alexander was bleeding too; he could even react a little.

Helena: (Weak) Alexander…. Can you… hear me?

Alexander: (Nearly dying) My armor, couldn't resist… that sword… and that strange weapon…

Helena: (Carrying something and giving energy from her body) Take this (Giving him a blue jewel) it will useful to you… you are the last hope… to save the future…

Alexander: (Nearly dying) Helena... my destiny is…

Then Helena began to recite a magical spell, magic dust surrounded Alexander then he dies. She continued the spell; a lot of soil buried his body.

At other side; Demitri, Hestia, Raven and the group of Dark knights were reunited.

Raven: I'll proceed with the spell. Too bad my student had to pay with her life.

Hestia: Yeah she was too weak to use magic.

Demitri: Come on! Let's go to future! I heard the other Kingdoms will come to explore this disaster we made. They would clean this place.

Hestia: Artemis is over, so they will occupie its place.

Demitri: Forget them! Raven, use the spell!

Raven said the spell and then a portal appeared. All of them entered and disappeared.

At other hand, Helena was dying after reciting the spell to Alexander.

Helena: (Nearly dying) I used this spell in other way to keep your body and soul. Alexander… I hope… you can save the world… I… entrust the future… (She recited another spell very weak) I have to go too… but I'm very weak… to do the same spell… then I'll use this method… (after that she dies)

At other side; Cassandra felt that presence.

Cassandra: No way! Helena's mana! Also I felt a powerful magic. It could be the great magic spell Helena told me? I have to give this book to one of her relatives, then I'll use it to see if she used on herself.

Helena's voice: I'll wait for you in future, Alexander, let's meet again.

Suddenly a light appeared as Helena's eyes closed. Then it's heard a baby cries. Two parents were in a hospital, the mother was carrying a recent born baby. They were Asuka's parents and the baby was Asuka.

Mrs. Hisakawa: There is our daughter.

Mrs Hisakawa: Welcome to family, Asuka.

Then it's seen how time was passing from old until reaches the current time.

Some years later, it's seen a 16 years old girl walking to school. It's revealed she was Asuka.

Helena's voice: This year he should be here to meet.

At that moment, in the mountains in a forest, it's seen how a part of ground was moving. Then a hand came out and then an arm and finally a human body. A blonde boy with medieval armor and cape came out from the ground, it was Alexander.

Alexander was coughing and felt some pain in his body. Then he saw that he was in an unknown place and was very confused. He touched his head, took out his helmet and cried out very confused.

Alexander: What happened? This is… (Realizing while was speaking) Eh? What kind of language is this, and why I speak it perfectly? My wounds!

He was checking in his body the wounds he had in the past battle. There's no wounds but little scars were on his body. He saw at distant in a surprised mood, it was a modern Japan city in present.

Alexander: Where I am?

The end of a story and the beginning of another.

THE END
