Disturbed Memory [Nexo Knights]

-I-

Well... Hello!

We will start this chapter as many others do.

We are in a kingdom called Knighton. A medieval kingdom, but one that also has technology. Five knights have been chosen to become the Nexo Knights, the knights who must protect the kingdom from evil forces (with the help of a magician close to the king, Merlok 2.0). Here, they had to defend the kingdom from Monstrox, and from Jestro, the king's jester.

The end of this war, in a way, lasted and still lasts.

The knights managed to defeat the lava army, ruled by the commander Magmar. Monstrox also failed to possess Clay's body, which could have been catastrophic. For something about Clay had been hidden for all his years. He was a wizard, a magician. Whatever you want, but he possessed magic. If it had been within the reach of this Monstrox, peace could never have been. But luckily, everything turned out fine.

But then another problem reappeared. The big problem wasn't that Jestro was a disaster at presenting the weather. It was that Monstrox was back. That's right, after his defeat, we could see that all his energy had disappeared into the clouds.

Here we are.

The evil cloud of Monstrox.

With his lightning, he resurrected monsters that were petrified into stone. Be it harpies, rock monsters, or gargoyles... Monstrox had his new army. In addition to Jestro who went back to the evil side, and a sculptor whose talents did not please the king (even if the queen loved the statue where she was seen beating the monsters with courage).

The knights were finally able to defeat them all, again.

But it wasn't without the unexpected help of a certain leader of the knights, once again.

Clay.

When he woke up, where Macy had to petrify him into a statue to stop him, Clay had his forearm filled with light blue magic. Here was the hope that appeared. The light breaking through the colossus of ultimate destruction. This stone colossus that could only be awakened if the 10 powers were defended, and it was Monstrox who controlled it of course.

And so, after the fall of Monstrox, all the danger went away again.

But for how long?

Monstrox is not yet defeated and... Even if all the stone monsters have become stone again, another monster has escaped the spell...

An evil witch... Ruina Stoneheart. She is a close associate of Monstrox, and no less and no more than Clay Moorington's mother. Yes, you heard me right. This wicked witch is the mother of the bravest and most benevolent knight and wizard in the kingdom.

The relationship between mother and son, is still quite murky. We don't know if Ruina feels maternal love for her son. We don't know if she wants to hurt him to obey her master. We may never know, the way it all turns out.

But we can always imagine for ourselves...

"Clay, stop practicing." Macy crossed her arms. "You should get some rest, your magic takes a lot of your life energy."

"I still need to perfect one of my spells." Said Clay, not wanting to listen to Macy.

The princess sighed, "Merlok would agree with me. You're overdoing it."

"I have to be ready at all times." Said Clay firmly. "If my mother reappears, I have to be ready to face her, and help her get back to normal."

"Yes, I know you definitely want her back, and I totally understand you! But you really should stop for today. Look at you." She pointed at him. "You're dripping like crazy."
