Ancient Wars

Vanessa looked to Arthur which was on his knees. Vanessa,

"Is that the dragon powered Arthur?"

Arthur,

"I didn't even started."

Vanessa,

"Really?"

Arthur looked to the street, it was empty just like his thoughts. He was just looking to Vanessa.

He was knowing that Vanessa was right. Gold River mercenaries were probably looking for him and he had no chance against them. But, there was something. Something that's really important for him, learning something about himself. Even more than that, an instinct of him was pushing him to be brave and save the people.

He was lost in the empty street which had no light, no sound and no emotions in it.

While the moon was rising in the sky, he started to see Vanessa's blonde hairs.

But he also realized with the light of the moon that Vanessa had such beautiful eyes. He thought,

"Impressive and beautiful knight of Westonia!"

As he started thinking, he woke up from an empty dream and looked in front of him.

Vanessa wasn't moving and was just looking to him.

Arthur wasn't willing to move. It would be great if two of them could have wait on the street with just looking to each other.

This was the fight of the opinions. There was no real fight, it was just the opinions clashing in the air.

Arthur had no arguments left, because he had no will to win this fight.

Arthur talked with a low voice,

"You are really beautiful Princess Vanessa."

Vanessa,

"Thanks for the compliment but you can't deceive me this time Arthur the Smart!"

Arthur and Vanessa both laughed after these words.

Arthur waited for a second to think. And asked to Vanessa,

"Who am I Vanessa?"

Vanessa sat next to Arthur and looked to him mercifully with her green eyes glowing in the moon light,

"Do you want to hear that?"

Arthur closed his eyes, breathed the air and opened his eyes back,

"I am. Tell me what you got."

Vanessa started speaking,

"I will not tell you the details about how powerful you are or some stuff like that."

"Yes! I am powerful."

"Stop being arrogant. Let me continue."

"Alright, I'm listening to you."

"First of all, as I heard when you ran away from the Westonia, you are a dragon magic user. After searching for a while, I learnt that you have been found near the first castle of the maze."

Vanessa looked to Arthur and she was wanting him to approve. Arthur,

"And you fell in love with me! I'll write a novel about it. It would have been famous."

Vanessa smiled and,

"Even someone writes your stupid story, believe me the author would have faced with many issues."

Arthur,

"You are being jealous! It would have been good. Look at the adventures I had in this little time."

Vanessa,

"Okey if you don't want to hear your story I won't tell it you."

Arthur,

"Okey, okey! I'm listening to you."

Vanessa continued speaking,

"There is a story from the ancient times, the legend of the heroes who stopped the dark emperor. Let me tell it to you…"

Vanessa told the story to the Arthur.

At the time of the ancient empires when the blacksmith's found the swords that have a magnificent power, the humans started to challenge everyone and themselves.

That was the main reason why the dark emperor became dark emperor. He merged his power which was nothing like with these powerful swords.

You would have either ancient sword user or magical sword user. You couldn't use both of them except the dark emperor.

The swords that the humans made were using a magic crystal inside of the sword that charges the sword and to be used by its owner.

On the other hand, the swords that the dragons made was pure magic and the owner was using the magic to charge the sword.

The first dark emperor was someone with a unique magic, someone who can steal the magic of the others for a temporary time.

He thought he was weak until the swords have been made. After realizing how powerful he is, he started to annex the kingdoms and declaring war to the empires.

He was powerful with the human swords but that wasn't enough for him to be the strongest one. He knew that he needed more power.

The empires started to train more powerful heroes that are selected specially by the commanders to fight with the dark emperor.

And this was the breaking point for everything. When the legendary heroes of the empires were ready to fight with the dark emperor, emperor attacked to the Westonian Empire.

The heroes of the Westonia fell and dark emperor destroyed the cities of the Westonia.

After all these events happened, the leaders of the empires stopped fighting with each other and collaborated to take down the dark emperor.

They have chosen three heroes for fighting with the dark emperor. But one of them changed side and joined to the dark emperor.

After finding the apprentice that he was looking for, he decided to annex the maze which was collecting the magic of the people that lives inside the maze to protect itself from the outside attacks.

And eventually, the dark emperor battled in his last war in the maze. He fell down at the battlefield.

This was the story of the war that is about how the ancient empires put into chaos and what happened at the past.

Arthur,

"Okey great story. Where is the place about me?"

Vanessa,

"The dragon's magic you heard it right?"

"Yes, the part you talked a little bit. Really is that all you know about me?"

"Of course not. Dragons taught their magic to a human which is the first dragon magic user."

"Is that me? That's too cool!"

"No, there is no possibility for you to be that person."

"Why is that?"

"Because that human taught this magic to many person for fighting against the dark emperor."

"Am I…"

"No you are not. Don't you understand Arthur? Maybe you are the last person who knows the dragon magic. Probably you learnt it by a descendant."

Arthur thought for a minute, if Vanessa was right about all these stuff he had a chance to learn something,

"Hey Vanessa can I ask something?"

"How old is the Maze Dragon?"

"The Dragons live for many years."

"How long?"

"I think the maze dragon saw the ancient wars."

Arthur thought on his mind,

"So the dragon knows about me. If that's it, I will find the dragon and learn what happened in the past."

Arthur suddenly realized the speech of Vanessa about protecting a sword,

"You talked about a sword."

"The sword of the hero that will take down the dark emperor."

"Yes, that story. You told me that I might have protected the sword."

"I'm not sure, I need time to learn more about this."

"Vanessa you don't have to…"

Vanessa started talking quickly,

"Okey, it's enough. We are returning to the Westonia. We lost a lot of time."

While they were talking in the street, a man appeared at the start of the street.

Vanessa shouted,

"Older brother! What are you doing here?"

Prince Leopold was standing at the start of the street with a will to fight.
