The Legendary Emperor King

Chapter 18 - The Emperor King

Chapter 18 - The Emperor King

Aug 02, 2024

Asu Continent, Mandarin empire…
     East coast, Protoss Island…
        Royal palace, Mayara’s quarters…

- Mayara (in a restless sleep, is disturbed by a ghostly whistling that cuts the silence of the night): Hmmm…

- Mayara (she murmurs, waking up from a dream that seemed more like a threat): Father…?

A thousand years ago…
      Top Of Mount Everest…

- King Pendragon (points to a cave, declares, his voice echoing with authority): Let’s take shelter there.

- General (spreads the order): Let's go! Men! To the cave!

In the cave…

- General (around the bonfire): Your Majesty, do you believe that the enemy army is still on our trail?

- King Pendragon (thoughtfully): They aren't there anymore, tomorrow we have to go down the mountain on the other side!

- General (screams): Men! Sleep, we're going to leave at any moment!

            While everyone was sleeping, the king saw a gap in the cave wall, and discovered that it was a passage into the mountain. He entered, and went to a dark room and a golden sword shone in the middle of the room…

- King Pendragon (raises an eyebrow): A sword? (approaches to pick it up)

- King Pendragon (as soon as he touches it, he sees himself in a white space) “Where am I?”

- A man (materializes in front of Pendragon. A man with red eyes, white hair, next to a gigantic and aggressive lion): Who are you? Peasant dressed as a king?

- King Pendragon (lowers his head): I am a nobody, just a peasant's son who fights for his people...

- Mysterious man (with veins on his face showing a clear rage): What are you doing here?! What are you doing in The Cave Of The Kings?! (shouted)

- King Pendragon (on his knees): Your servant was just looking for shelter, to protect my soldiers, fathers of families, but we will withdraw ourselves if we disturb, my lord...

- Mysterious man (smiles): Stand up Treadway, I am the Essence Of Light.

- King Pendragon (stands): I, your servant, am named Treadway Pendragon, son of Ja Pendragon, as I believe you know.

- Essence Of Light (strokes the giant lion): I know! What are you running from?

- King Pendragon (looks at Essence Of Light): I flee from my enemies who have gathered and formed a large army to kill me.

- Essence Of Light (ignores): I am a fraction of the power that The Light used to create everything. I do not have a physical body, as I said, I am an unparalleled force, eons of knowledge and Qi. Do you consider yourself worthy of the title of herald of the power of creation?

- King Pendragon (kneels): If my lord allows me, I confess that I do not seek such honor, only to bring peace to my people...

- Essence Of Light (looking at Pendragon, gives a soft smile): The Light who made you king over your people, is the same that today puts you by head over all men!

                        Author: The Light is the name of the Creator/God of this universe.

- Essence Of Light (approaches Pendragon): There is no one more just and good than you, and therefore you are placed as head before all men. By one path your enemies gathered and made you flee, and by seven paths they will run away from you. They will turn away and flee from you, now you are given authority over all and supreme power!

- King Pendragon (on his knees, confused): Wait sir. I do not want to cause any trouble. Please, I am not worthy...

- Essence Of Light (lifts Pendragon, and hugs him): Get up! Go, be a true king! (he disappears)

- King Pendragon (his eyesight being swallowed by the brightness of the space): Wait! Wait...!

The Dark room within the cave...

- King Pendragon (wakes up, lying in a white liquid, and accidentally drinks it):…It's not that bad…

Cave Entrance…

- General (looking for the king): King Pendragon!

- King Pendragon (goes to the cave entrance, where the soldiers are): Men!

- Soldiers (kneel): Your Majesty! (avoiding the face of the king because of his appearence)

- King Pendragon (looking at the General): Why are you looking at me like that?

- General (hesitant, processing each word): Your Majesty, your eyes, and your aura…

- King Pendragon (with a serious appearence): What's wrong?

- General (kneels): My king, your aura. I have never seen anything like this. Sovereign, I ask you to tell us what your level of prowess is and what happened.

- King Pendragon (listening to General Glayder): I will do so.

Minutes later…

- King Pendragon (meditating) "Gold? Must be the Essence Of Light. I evolved?”: Primordial Master? Life and Death dimension? I thought it ended with the Legendary Supreme Grand Master, it’s better if this remains a secret for now…

                 After this, The Great King told his people what had happened, but he mentioned his level only to his trusted ones. Years later, he united the lands, from the far east to the far west and ruled...

   In the old Empire…
        Mansion of the Ashura…

- Emperor King Pendragon (enters in royal robes and a crown of precious stones)

Everyone knelt…

- Patriarch of the Ashura (kneeling): Your Imperial Majesty, what a great honor.

- Emperor King Pendragon (serious, looking at him): Rise! Xian, I need to have a talk with you and all the men in your house!

They went to an isolated room…

- Emperor King Pendragon (raises his hand and materializes the sword of The Light): I chose your house to be the guardian of my descendants and of all the forbidden knowledge that was acquired.

- The men of the Ashura house (kneeling in reverence): It is a great honor!

- Emperor King Pendragon (with the Golden Sword on his hand): So that you do not come against The Emperor King and his descendants, I seal your core with the King's Force. So that you will be faithful and loyal to The Emperor King and his house!

- Emperor King Pendragon (places the sword on each one's head, and seals them with the King's force for submission): If by chance, you turn against The Emperor King, or one of his descendants, you will be killed by the King's Force.

- The men of the Ashura house (on their knees): We swear loyalty to the Emperor king and his house! 

                 Years later, the empire prospered, but the emperor was suspicious about the underworld of crime and the dark Qi, so he entered a period of reclusion to train, meditate and reflect. When he left, he had created several martial arts, but one of them was special, it was the most dominating and brutal art, called Divine Solar Emperor Art, composed of 32 movements, impossible to be used by others, only he could use it, but he did not complete the art, before disappearing...

In his last days…
    At the entrance of the palace…

- Emperor King Pendragon (entering the palace, turns to his child): I will leave the throne into your hands!

- Prince Alexander (behind the emperor, stops and his heart skips a beat): But sovereign, I am not your firstborn. My brother, Lyuducell is the one who has to sit on your throne...

- Imperial Guardian Gyung (looks at the Prince): Your Imperial Highness, it is not wise to reject an order from the Sovereign...

- Emperor King Pendragon (looking fixedly at Alexander’s eyes): Being a king consists of having a strong and firm head. Being wise. Doing what is necessary. Your brother is not able to be king of an empire. (instructs, his decision echoing through the generations)

                 After these days, the Emperor King disappeared and was never heard from again, and Alexander took his place. Many disagreed with the Emperor King's decision, but Alexander turned out to be a great conqueror, very cruel to his enemies. After him others came, but after five generations, the empire disintegrated, the provinces rebelled and only the United Kingdom remained under the rule of the Pendragon bloodline…

Four-hundred years later…
       Eurus Continent, Greek empire…
               In a village, street…

- A woman (scared, trying to run away): Help! Please help me! (the desperate scream rips through the night, pleads, but her words are swallowed by darkness)

- A man (emerges from the shadows, his pale skin bathed in moonlight, his reptilian eyes glowing blood red, with a luxurious suit, advances towards the woman): Don't worry. It's okay, we got off to a bad start, didn't we?

- The woman (breathing heavily, terror etched in every feature of her face, runs down the cobblestone street)

- The man (behind the woman, puts his hand on her shoulder, smiles): Calm down, it's okay. What you saw wasn't…(whispers with venomous calm, each word dripping with false sweetness)

Minutes before…
     In one of the houses…
       
- Everyone in the house (screaming in fear)

- The man (screams of terror reverberate through the walls as he feasts on the family, their torn bodies bearing witness to the carnage)

- The woman (runs to the door) “What is that?! My God! Please, help me…”(stumbling in her escape, she sees the unimaginable and runs into the street, her scream echoing through the village): PLEASE! HELP ME! PLEASE HELP! A MONSTER!

- The man (hears the woman, wipes his mouth, sighs): Noisy, it will wake the others...

Present…

- The woman (Frozen by the man's cold touch, she turns to stare into the abyss of his open mouth.) “God…” (full of tears, sees the man’s toothy smile)

- The man (opens his mouth to swallow the woman's head, but before he can consume his prey, the armed villagers arrive) "How cute…” (eats the woman’s head, clears his throat)

- The villagers (with torches and spears, surrounding the man): CATCH THE MONSTER!! (they scream, but the shock paralyzes them when they recognize their Prince): It's the prince! The MONSTER is the prince!

- The prince (with a cruel laugh, it lunges at them, its sharp teeth finding flesh and blood.): It's me, so what?

- A mysterious man (with royal robes, black hair, golden eyes, a golden double-edged katana in his hand, among the villagers, staring at the prince with a contained fury)

- The prince (eating the villagers, looks at the man with a mix of emotions): You… (he mutters, confused and irritated by the presence of the man who challenges him without a word): Why do you irritate me so much if I don't even know you?! Why can’t I listen to the desires of your heart? (looking menacingly to him): Much less smell your emotions…

- The man (with a smile that doesn't reach his eyes, he draws his flaming katana): My brothers! Don't be scared, this one is mine!

- The villagers (retreat, muttering about the warrior's identity): Who is he? He looks like a king…

- The prince (smiles, advances. Opens his mouth to bite his neck)

- The man (with a sigh of regret, the katana blade catches fire): I didn't want to hurt a child... (cuts off the prince's arms with a clean, fiery blow)

- Prince (falls, screaming in pain, regeneration denied by the sword's sacred flame) “It burns a lot! Why doesn’t it regenerate…” (fear replacing arrogance): Who are you?! Answer me!

- The man (turning to face the fallen prince, he points his sword at him): Child, you have no idea what's at stake here. I'm going to give you a second chance. If you continue to kill innocent people I will come back to end you! (walks down the street, towards the exit of the village)

Present…
  Somewhere on the coast of the Eurus continent, on an island…
              In a mansion…

- Hades (observing the scars that mark his skin, he reflects on the battle): I've always regenerated instantly without leaving a scar or anything, but these two were different. (mumbles): His sword was flaming, today I have no doubt that he had some relationship with the king’s force, that was the Sword Of The Light. He humiliated me that day, and after him many thought that could face me without a cost, I want to kill that man and his descendants, erase his name from history. (growls): And I want that power for myself! (With a roar of fury, he throws a bench against the wall, swearing retribution): I am going to become the Primdordial being, a god!
