Chapter 511 - 512 – Forgotten Story – Staff – Part 6.
The age of the chaos prophesized by Uther Pendragon had come.
The evil that lurked around the corner that the people weren't aware of had been revealed.
However, before anybody was hurt, the legendary Caliburn cut down all of the monsters, saving the people before the doom reached to them.
Arthur Pendragon slew the dormant evil before it could catch his people, saving them and earning their trust.
However, this wasn't enough.
Year went by and the chaos didn't stopped.
Why?
Because the Merlin and Morgan chaos couldn't be stopped.
No.
They didn't wished for it stopped just yet when the things are just getting started. However, they are making sure that there won't be any talks like "It's the sacred sword fault! Its cursed!", so right now things are going easy.
However, Merlin warned the Arthur that this is not the age of chaos. That it's just an sight.
"We still have time, my king and in fact, we managed to delay the age of chaos by good 20 years, thanks to you exposing and slaying the mad king."
"However, it won't stop."
"We didn't destroyed the age of chaos yet, we only delayed it in time."
"However, that doesn't mean its safe either."
"What you destroyed so far was nothing more than remains of the mad false king power."
"But more will come. They will try to end you before the true age of chaos come."
"We can somewhat deal with this chaos…. But as we got close to the time of chaos, the more evil will start appearing."
"Yea. I know Merlin." – replied Arthur.
"However, I cannot fight while also leading my people alone."
"Many of the knights that were supposed to be protecting the kingdom turned out to be monsters just pretending…. If I'm being honest, the entire Brittain need to be restored before we take any action."
"And if creatures were to attack somewhere where am I not….. We need restore the Brittan and recruit people powerful enough that would be able to fight these monsters in my stead."
"We need allies."
"…"
"If I may, my king." – said Merlin.
"I've watched many people through the ages, observing the scared sword."
"Many failed, but there were few that were able to at least move the sword by even an inch."
"They obviously failed, but that does not disapprove the fact that they had potential."
"Many of their blood may run though their descendants, there is an chance that some of them may possess the potential as once their ancestors did."
"…"
"Then seek them out and find the worth ones Merlin." – said Arthur.
"As much as it pains me, my people need me here and I need help in the Britan restoration."
"I understand. But I'm not worried." – replied Merlin.
"I know that your wife, Erza, is an excellent person and will help you out in my stead."
…
Yes.
Erza had become the Arthur wife, just as she promised.
However, she didn't married him out of love, but instead out of protection.
Her parents found out about their promise almost instantly and forced her to marry the man no matter what she willed anymore.
They used her as an indirect means of control over the Arthur.
She became shackles.
But if she didn't become them, then his beloved…. No. The entire Britan would suffer.
She wasn't an emotionless puppet anymore; she was an human.
She didn't wanted her beloved to suffer, nor she wanted any people she knew to suffer, or just anybody who does not deserve to be catched up in this madness…. However, she knew that people will die, because of the said madness…. And all she can do is to be just shackles to at least somewhat reduce the number of the deaths.
…
The adventure of the Arthur Pendragon and the start of his legend had started.
They slaying of the mad king.
Destroying the worshipers of the chaos.
Restoring the Brittiany.
Recruitment of the heroes.
Defending against the invasion.
Assassination plots.
Rebellions.
Inner corruption.
Food shortages.
War.
Monsters.
Betrays.
And so on.
Years went by…. Hellish years went by where a lot of things…. However, he didn't gave up.
He still risen up, he still picked up his blade and cut down any challenges.
Being both the knight that protected his people.
And being the king that would lead his people.
….
But he was still an human.
And he stared showing his weakness.
He kept his state from the public…. But in private, he was suffering.
The exhaustion, the torture, the nightmare.
The pain and suffering.
His wife, Erza, she saw what he was going through….. She cried for him; she agonized over him.
She wanted him to stop, but she knew she couldn't say that or he and the people around him may suffer consequences.
…
However, she stayed by his side through this entire time, loved him, taking his burdens on herself.
Even though she was an puppet, even though she was shackles, she loved him.
….
And so, she finally pregnant.
It was just matter of time of course, but still…. It had finally had happened.
….
However, she didn't wanted her child to become something like her, an mix. So, she did something. She removed the inhuman parts from her child when it was still in her womb, making sure that it would be born "Human".
And so, he was.
Mordred.
Son of the king and the queen.
An human.
An day of joy happened.
This was the day that Ezra held her newborn.
Motherly love.
She loved her own child and wanted to protect him.
….
However,….. Things started getting worse as the years went by.
The fake "age of chaos" that the Merlin and Morgan were creating had started showing more and more, bringing more and more destruction to the land.
Arthur with his loyal servants, "knights of the round table", tried their best to sustain the chaos…. But many of these knights had fallen in battle and Arthur himself started getting worn out.
The amount of chaos, the amount of destruction…. The amount of pure evil, it was unbearable.
Arthur was both an hero and an king, he already proven himself to inherit the title Knight King long time ago… Erza knew it.
But Merlin and Morgan? They were too blind.
They were slowly losing control over themselves….
Normally she would never do anything since she knew that they would never care about her opinion.
But the wounds? The death? The suffering of her beloved?
It had reached the time….. She could no longer wait any longer, since Arthur body was reaching the limit…. And so she went, confronted the Merlin and Morgan.
"You fucking bastard!"
"Chaos! Chaos! Chaos!"
"I know you had been consumed by the madness, but for fuck sake look!"
"Arthur mind and body is slowly reaching the limit!"
"I'm using my arts of the restoration and healing on him every day now, but do you think it is working anymore?!"
"I'm even using art of demon, self-sacrifice! Taking away his pain and burden, but even that isn't enough!"
"You need to stop! For even moment!"
"He needs time to recover!"
"…."
"No…. He needs it…. He needs to destroy chaos." – replied Morgan with Merlin.
"THEN YOU WILL MURDER HIM WITH YOUR OWN TWO HANDS!" – shouted Erza.
"YOU WANTED THE PERFECT HERO?! THERE! YOU HAVE IT!"
"BUT NOW?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IS NOTHING MORE THAN JUST MURDERING HIM!"
"I FUCKING DARE YOU! DESTORY HIM! KILL HIM!"
"AND THE PERFECT HERO YOU HAD BEEN WAITING FOR WILL DIE!"
"…"
"I won't say it again."
"Stop it. At least an fucking year. NO! 5 YEARS! 5 years of at least calm peace. You can still bring chaos here and there, but in no longer in this scale when he is still not ready nor he had any time to recover."
"He needs to recover."
"He is human."
"He is an pure blooded human."
"And what you are doing isn't chaos anymore."
"Its pure evil."
"An evil that only wish for destruction."
"I dare you. I just fucking dare you."
"You only listen to my opinions when you can't think of anything."
"And here is the fucking prime example! You stopped thinking!"
"So here is the situation!"
"Stop!"
"JUST FOR MOMENT OR YOU WILL RUIN ALL OF YOUR DREAMS AND HOPES!"
"STOP THIS INSTANTLY! JUST FOR MOMENT!"
"…."
"Fine." – replied Merlin and Morgan.
"We shall seek your advice and stop the chaos for now."
"!"
She had hard time believing it.
They listen.
They completely listen to her.
They listen to her reason and decided to agree to her pleas.
She was overjoyed!
First day peace!
Second day peace!
Third day peace!
Fourth day peace!
Fifth day peace!
Sixt day peace!
Seventh day peace!
An week of an total peace and recovery!
She believed that her parents had truly kept their word!
…
However, the eight day came…. And things changed.
"What do you mean my husband went on the expedition?! AND NOT JUST SOME SMALL ONE BUT INSTEAD AN MASSIVE SCALE ONE?! EXPLAIN! NOW!" – shouted furious Erza.
"Huh? You weren't informed my queen?" – asked confused castle knight.
"Lord Merlin has- "
"!"
"MERLIN!" – shouted Erza as she rushed through the castle, destroying everything in her path, castle walls did not stopped her at all, before then she straight up burseted into Merlin tower.
"MERLIN! SHOW YOURSELF YOU BASTARD!"
"WE HAD AN DEAL!"
"AND- "
"I know." – said Merlin from behind.
"?!"
"And that is why you become unnecessary." – said Merlin as his hands pierced right through Erza back while sticking out from the front and holding her heart.
"Your idea was unnecessary."
"Your existence is no longer necessary."
"In fact. You will only get in our way."
"But don't worry, broken tool."
"We shall reshape you."
