After they kissed and enjoyed, they rest in his bedroom. The two rest in his bed and she hugged him with her hands. She was blushed and she was more excited to see him even more. Then the two slept and they dreaming similar dreams and it was linked. They saw a more peaceful, there are flowers everywhere and grasses as well and it is a little bit of wind coming over them.
"Hey Mordred what is this place? Dante questions.
"This place is called Garden of Avalon, this where I stay for a long time ago after I died, but don't worry it is only a dream right. Mordred replied.
"I hope so. Dante said.
Soon The man with silver hair similar to him, a white hooded figure approaches them.
"It seems you have been returned Mordred and who is your friend over here, can you introduce to me. Merlin said.
"His name is Dante, he is the son of Sparda, now he is my master. Mordred replied.
"Did you say, son of Sparda, it is honored to meeting you, Dante and you can call me Merlin, Dante? Merlin replied.
"It's alright, there is no formality here Merlin, I'm really surprised that this place is more peaceful than I expected, It feels more relaxed and calm in this place. Dante said.
"Yes, it is, you see the beauty of the Garden of Avalon, isn't wonderful, Dante. Merlin said.
"Yeah, it nice and I sense that you are a demon just like me. Dante replied.
"Indeed but you are just only half breed, but your mana has an immense supply, and your eyes are the same as your father, Sparda, Dante. Merlin said.
"I told you that you are going to love it here. Mordred said. then she hugged him without hesitation in front of Merlin.
"Well, it seems that the two of you have developed a relationship, what a surprise. Melin said.
"Well yeah, she confessed to me recently before we sleep and I accept her feelings as well. Dante said.
"Well, that's true Merlin that I confessed to him that I love him because he understands my feelings even more. Mordred said.
"It's good that the two of you are more bonded together, I accept that.
Merlin replied with a smile on his face.
" Thank you, Merlin! Mordred said.
" Your welcome here and you too Dante.
"Thank you, Merlin. Dante said.
After they talked, the three walked and after they walked they reached their destination, They saw few members of the Knights of The Round Table including Her father, who was lying on the ground with her sword
Excalibur, on both sides there is Lancelot who was clad in black and gold armor, and on the other side was Gawain who has silver armor and had a sword called Excalibur Galantine. Atoria Stands up and speaks to Them.
"Seems we have a visitor, Merlin who is he and how did he go to Garden of Avalon. Atoria said.
"His name is Dante and he is the son of The Dark Knight Sparda, and currently he was the master of Mordred in this current holy grail War.
Merlin replied with a smile on his face.
"What the, I don't know that Sparda has a kid as well. Atoria said.
"Well technically, My father had twin sons and that will be me and the other one I defeated him a long time ago. Dante said.
"What happened to your brother, Dante. Gawain replied.
"Yeah, what is your story, Dante. Lancelot said.
"His name was Vergil, he was the eldest, and I'm the youngest twin. We were both trained by my father using swords, or any kind of weapons.
When he vanished a long time ago, my mother gave us half of the amulet, which is the gateway to the demon world, and my sword is the rebellion, a keepsake sword that was used by my father. My brother's sword is the Yamato, able to cut fragments of space and time, use to create portals, and cut anything. He gets his sword at his back and they saw a twin skull that resembles a human and the other side is a demon and it is a twin claymore sword that is relatively longer.
"Whoah, that sword is equivalent to our holy swords right! Lancelot said.
"Indeed, that sword has it is own aura, it's more creepy. Gawain reacted to his sword.
"You sensed it because it is the physical manifestation of my power imbued to my sword. The more I grow powerful, the sword changes appearances as well and strength itself. You could say I formed a bond with a sword since I was eight years old when I received a gift serve a memory of my father.
"Why the two of you fight, you are his twin brother by the way. Merlin questioned Dante.
"Why are you fighting against your brother? Gawain said.
"My brother's appearance has fixed hair compared to mine has messy hair, wearing a blue and yellow jacket and he is more emotionless, he is more obsessed gaining more power, so I stopped his plans last 5 months ago and gained new power and my father's unawakened sword called the Force Edge. To unlock its full potential, It needs two half of the amulets and combines into a perfect amulet. Then he disappears his sword and gets his Force Edge, a sword that looks like a w shaped and it is more simplified than my sword Rebellion.
Everyone is amazed at his sword except Mordred who saw it yesterday.
"You said that your brother is power-hungry who obsessed with the power of my father, a cold-hearted and wearing a blue-yellow jacket, that reminds me a little bit similar presence just like Atoria, right. Merlin said with a smile on his face.
"Well you could say Merlin, but I have to suppress my emotion to serve and to rule my kingdom with peace and prosper. Atoria replied.
"Even though that you're just a king, you're just a human you have to understand emotions and to love someone, If you can't then you can't call yourself a human anymore. Dante said.
"It's not true that love and to feel emotions, It is not needed when you serve or rule a Kingdom, it is pointless. Atoria said.
"Well, you see why your kingdom falls because you don't have the compassion, love, and compassion to others. Yes, you have the strength and an army to back it up but you didn't love someone just like you did not love your child Mordred. Dante replied.
"My son means nothing to me, he is just only a failure, he can't be ruled, he is just a son of the witch. Atoria said.
"You're wrong father, even though you have no greed and a perfect king, you always have no heart to love and to have compassion for someone.
That's why I choose my side to Dante, even though that he has more suffering and guilt in his past life, seeing his mother died and his brother corrupted by power, he always starts over, again and again, to love and to care for someone. That's why I chose to love him anymore and to stay by his side. Mordred said.
"So did choose love Dante, well I still accepted that but after the war, you will going to disappear and return to the Garden of Avalon. Atoria said with a more emotionless tone.
"I wish that I will become a human again to live with him, I changed my wish, and I will not regret It. I'm tired and done staying in this place. Mordred replied with an angry tone to her.
"Mordred and Dante is right my King, even though that you have no bad intentions, you still need to value and to know what other people feel as well. Lancelot said.
"You too Lancelot, Mordred is a traitor, what should we do now my King. Gawain replied.
"Enough! You two, I will speak to them. Atoria said.
"Well, this talk is getting serious. Dante replied.
"You're the one who does not know about Mordred and our history as well. Atoria said.
"Well, she explained her history to me and I know that you are more emotionless, cold and only you care is to serve your Kingdom. Dante said.
"It is not true! I have no choice but to serve as a King, If I was not chosen to wield an Excalibur then my fate was different. Atoria replied.
"It is not all about the sword or your fate, you have your freedom to do what is right for you what is right, it, not your kingdom any more time is different now. You did not value the life of a human being, you have a heart but you can't love or feel someone's emotions, what are you a god trying to rule over the humans and trying to control them to make your kingdom perfect according to your plan then you are wrong. You are just like Mundus he goes always according to his plan, except that you are more serious. Everything in this world is not perfect, all of us have regrets about our past and you need to need to learn to start over again. That is the power you possess as a human had and not the demon had, if not then I do not consider you as a human. Dante said.
Then Atoria realized her actions, kneeling that her face becomes more scared, sweating and remembering all the past actions. Others are surprised to see that Atoria kneels in front of Dante and Mordred.
"It seems she comes back to senses. Dante said.
"I think so. Mordred replied.
"I'm sorry that I'm harder, strict, and rejecting you as a son, I didn't realize before. I'm more focused to do my fulfill my goals as a King to people. I suppressed my emotions because of one way to hide my Identity and to be not distracted by my feelings.
"I accept your apologies, father, it is not too late to apologize to someone. Mordred replied.
Then the group agreed to her apology and continued to talk about Dante fights his brother Vergil at the Temen Ni Gru Tower.
"At the first battle at the top of the Tower is that I able to compete with him even my powers are not awakened by the time being but I was stabbed by my sword but my powers are awoken as well, even Mordred saw this on my dream. Dante explained.
"Yeah, He and his brother indeed fight for longer periods and it's rainy for the time being. They swing their swords faster, so fast that I couldn't keep up a little bit. He goes more of heavy attacks and more offensive is similar to mine while his brother is more defensive and faster to strike than him. That's what I observed from them. Mordred said.
"Does it mean that the two of you are enemies on that day? Atoria replied.
"Well does it seems to be sibling rivalry. Lancelot said.
"It seems so right, Dante. Merlin said.
"Yeah even as kids, we usually formed a rivalry, more like a friendly match without trying to kill each other. Dante replied.
"Who's your brother's companion named Arkam by the way. Mordred said.
"Arkam, oh that guy. He's the one who manipulated us since the beginning, his goal is to fight over with my brother, and eventually, once both of us became tired, he takes down us later when he completed the ritual to open the portal on Temen Ni Gru. Later on, The two of us decided to team up to defeat him and he's the one who took Force Edge and absorbed some of its powers but he became a big ugly demon for the reason he is not worthy to wield such immense power on this sword.
"Wait did the two of you just teamed up, I thought that you two are rivals.
Mordred said.
"Well we were forced to team up and we just have a final duel after we defeated him. Dante replied.
"You said that he absorbed your father's power, how did you defeat him.
Gawain said.
"It's easy, he has a lot of openings to slash him, so we quickly kill him and send him back to the human world. Dante replied.
"What happened in your final duel, and what place. Atoria said.
"We duel at the depts of the underworld, more like a river, we have each own ideals, one who sees humans are weak and fragile and the one who protects and encourage. To see one's justice through, a man must fight for it. Even if the one who stands before him is his kin. The brothers of blood disagree on the very reason for their existence. They must fight.
I won in the last battle but Vergil stays in the underworld and got this sword and returns to the human world. I have regrets as well that I can't even save my brother I have the power to do so. Dante said.
" That's deep even though you have the power to do so. Merlin replied.
" Yeah I have no choice back then, so I do what I can to save humans.
"What happened there in the real world, the Holy Grail War. Atoria said.
"It goes normal but Mundus Interfered in the war killing his men because I beat one of those, If somehow he knows the Holy Grail then, he will going to absorb it somehow. But I was a little bit suspicious about the name Kirie Kotome guy that invited me to the war, he knows my origin and
I think that he is planning something like pulling the strings. From the start, he convinces me to join the Holy Grail War, paying me a little bit but he up to something and he's the initiator of the war itself. Dante replied.
"You said Kirie Kotome, he's dangerous and he's the one who burned Fukyuki City, I have participated in the last war, my master before is a magus killer and he forced me to destroy the grail. This is bad if those two met each other then it going to be over. Atoria said.
"I'm not giving up, he may be dangerous but still he is a human and he has a weakness as well. Dante replied.
"I'm not giving up to, he's right the two of us will go to stop those threats.
Mordred replied.
"Well I think that the two of you are running out of time, you have to return to the real world you two. Merlin said.
"Yeah, my body starts to glow, what is happening to me. Dante replied.
"Yeah, same goes for me, Dante. Mordred replied.
"Then It's goodbye, I hope you two enjoyed talking and sharing your stories. Gawain said.
Then soon the two disappeared from the Avalon and return to the real world and the two have awoken as well.
"How do you feel in our dream Dante. Mordred said.
"Yeah, It's a little bit odd it seems good for the most part. Dante replied.
"At least you enjoyed it and let's hope that we will be going to win the war. Mordred said.
"Yeah, let's do this together Mordred just you and me. Dante replied.
'Okay, and after the war, The two of us will go to live together. Mordred said.
"Ohn I will. Dante replied.
The end.
