Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 259: Dis/Order

( Many Years Ago, in Camelot. )

" Chaos Magic... " Merlin says this in front of King Arthur, kneeling before him after being hurt so badly.

" A powerful Magic, found as I went on my journey... " Merlin chuckles in his crazed state.

" My King, remember the Aether, the energy of the dead. "

" Then, this is the greatest of it can give you, a Power, a Magic... "

" That will allow you, to bring order as you control the very chaos in humanity... "

" For with this, you may control every living being and any material as you wish... " Merlin says to Arthur, after presenting it to him, he asks the mighty king to offer him his Excalibur, his very blade, the blade of the bright star.

" Chaos Magic came from a star, the star that was so bright from the beginning of existence... "

" It was so bright until the Ancient Godly beings came in and ripped its brightness from her, leaving it to only its remnants. "

" With your sword and your Star Magic, my Liege... "

" I hope you will be the brightest of all kings. "

" That will bring the natural order with the power of disorder. " Merlin says this as the Chaos Magic is given to Excalibur, now wielded by King Arthur as he used it to govern Camelot and thus continue to all Brittania at the ancient times before his downfall.

( Present time. )

[ Camelot Vault, 5th Section. ]

" Ah, so beautiful... " Princess Alexandria sees the Spark of the Chaos Magic with awe, hypnotized by it, witnessing how bright the source of her family's power is.

" Chaos Magic is the truest power that King Arthur ever held. "

" The power that made him one of the greatest kings of humanity, a real man to king, unlike the Demigod Kings* before him. "

" The Power that will bring order to humanity, ah... " Alexandria says, her hands touching her chest, she could feel her heart in joy when basked in its light.

" Raarhh! " despite the Princess' joy, in the other hand, Draven screams in agony, hearing voices in his head, voices so disorderly, making him unable to comprehend what they say.

< User is receiving 'Whisper of Ch***' >

" Stop! " Draven grunts as he looks at the princess, defiantly resisting his headache, and grabs the princess, plunging her into the Shadows, entering it as both of them flee from its radiance.

< Black Shadowportation >

" Gah! " both of them gasp, one gasps as he's finally free from the radiating torture while the other gasps as she is stripped from her peak of the moment.

" Princess! " Draven opens his mask, revealing his face towards the princess within the very shadows they're in.

" Draven, ah... " Alexandria's 'Eye of Clarion' activates.

" I'm sorry when your masks off, you're Donovan now, I forgot. " she tells him, as he approaches him, trying to sense if the light of 'Chaos Magic' disturbs her.

" Princess, whatever happens, I do not want to see that thing again. " Donovan tells her, already making sure that the princess is unharmed.

"( Let's check your very level, shall we? )" Donovan says as he believes this is the right time to do so as the System Scans her for real.

< System Scan >

< Name: Alexandria Ithuriel Avalon I >

< Age: 13 >

< Level: 113 (Predicted) >

< Magic: *** >

"( Even her magic is unidentified... )"

"( Don't tell me... )" Donovan immediately realized why, realizing the reason why he can't see or even fathom it is...

" It's 'Chaos', isn't it? " Donovan asks the princess as she rises from her seated position.

" The House of Avalon's true Magic, the Magic they hold and inherited as the Ultimate Heir from the Rightful Bloodlines of King Arthur..., is this 'Chaos Magic'..., isn't it? "

" You finally understand," she replied, revealing Donovan might be a correct guess.

" The power of our House's very order is the 'disorder' itself. "

" The Magic, that enables one to govern while still maintaining the true nature of the world itself, the chaos. " the Princess explains, which makes Donovan take a step back.

" You know I should've killed you. " Donovan says this, already frightened of what he just saw.

" But now, I just saved you from your demise, from what that 'thing' is trying to manipulate you. "

" Do you even hear its voice? It sounds like deceit! " Donovan tells the princess which makes her confused.

" Voices? " the Princess asks Donovan about it.

" I don't hear any voices. " the Princess thinks about it.

" You mean there's another person beside us just now, I don't see no-one, even when using the 'Eye of Clarion'. " the Princess tells Donovan just that, making him more frightened of how clueless the princess is.

" You, you don't hear it...? " Donovan asks, as he was surely to receive the voices in the maximum volume of audible his ear could've ever heard.

" Princess, surely you must've heard... "

" That Chaos 'thing', I heard voices from it! "

" It, it, it is alive, as if it has a mind of its own, it's. "

" Chaos is just a force made from the Aether Energy, Donovan. " Princess Alexandria tells him just that, making Donovan more frightened than before.

" This is a mistake! " Donovan turns back from the princess.

" You should've not brought me to that place, no... "

" That thing, shouldn't ever exist in the first place! " Donovan shivers, he is so afraid, not only because of his experience but from realizing that only he can hear the horrors coming out from that 'Thing', or that could be even called a 'Thing'.

" We have to end this here, Princess. " Donovan says it to her, at the moment, Alexandria was pissed when hearing it but immediately understands what Donovan felt just now, calming herself with her thoughts and approached Donovan, holding his hand.

" I see, so much for your first time. " the Princess tells him, rubbing his hand gently to calm him.

" You are still new to the power that paranoia and unrealistic fear began to overwhelm you at some point," she tells Donovan just that.

" But, don't worry. "

" You can come again and try yourself on withstanding its light again if you want to. " she pats Donovan's shoulders while Donovan could only chuckle while looking at the Princess as sharp as he can.

( Meanwhile. )

[ Carlos & Terry's Dorm Room ]

[ Item: 'Fairy King's Glitter Ring (SSS)' ]

[ The complete form of the 'Fairy Glitter Ring', imbues the User with powers of great fantasy. ]

The Ring shines itself, as Carlos sees it within the room's toilet, seeing it with silence and sharp eyes.

" It keeps getting brighter as soon as we're going to face the Arc Magus Academy. "

" I don't know if I could hide it that long. "

" But, despite all odds... "

" I will make sure to fight Avalon well in the upcoming battle. "

" That's my promise. " Carlos says to himself, as he closes his eyes.
