Burton leaded us out from the castle and now we were walking to somewhere 'cause he wanted to show us something more. 

"It's a myth. " Viviane said to Burton. 

"Yeah, every legend, every myth, every story whispered around the campfire has a logical explanation. " Burton answered to Viviane while we walked on the grass.

"Oh, with that i agree wholeheartedly, but logic has left the building. You're talking about magic." Viviane scoffed.

"So you don't believe in magic?" I asked from Viviane.

"Like your walking, talking, Lamborghini?" Cade asked behind me.

"Well, do you?" Viviane asked.

"At this point i believe in everything." I smiled and showed my arms at her. "And walking talking Lamborghini isn't magic." I murmured.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Cade continued.

"Excatly." I said and i pointed at Cade. 

"Arthur C. Clarke. Impressive." Viviane murmured.

"Yeah. And count 'em zero student loans, Doctor, of Professor, Philosopher, whatever you call yourself." Cade spit back to Viviane.

"It's all of the above." Viviane said while Cade walked past of her.

"He isn't that dumb you think he is." I said to Viviane and she furrowed her eyebrows.

"Compared to you?" Viviane started.

"Pfft. Stop. Now you're being just ridiculous. Cade is very smart but please..." I laughed a little bit. We walked past of Bee and Hot Rod and let me say but having two beautiful cars next to eachother is nice to look at. Finally we entered to this smaller building and the room. There was fire place and also many things.

"Now, this place was built around the original Round Table. Percival, Gawain, Tristan, Lancelot. They sat right here. Twelve in all. And behind them sat the 12 who came from Cybertron. Twelve alien knights who saw in Camelot what the human race could be at its finest. A race of honor." Burton explained to us and the moment felt magical. We were around the Round Table. Cogman was playing the keyboards. It really felt magical.

"Cogman?" Burton asked and he stopped right away.

"Hmm?" Cogman asked and looked at us.

"You ruined the moments again!" Burton said to Cogman.

"I was making the moment more epic." Cogman was proud of himself.

"It worked." I whispered but Burton wasn't having same opinion with me.

"Just be quiet. What's the matter with you? If i could find his neck, i'd strangle him. " Burton said. It was violent but funny somehow.

"This belonged to King Arthur himself. Now, legend held that one last knight would someday be created and chosen. And the struggle to save the world would begin. It would appear, Y/n, that that last knight is you." Burton said to me. Viviane and Cade turned to look at me and i raised my eyebrows. 

"Pfft!" I started to laugh.

"Me? You're talkin' about me?" I pointed at myself.

"Mmm-hmm. That's the reason why they all know you." Burton nodded to me.

"So you're telling me that i was created and all this what has happened was meant to happen? Also that the old ancient Transformer traveled through the whole universe to find me?" I asked from Burton 'cause i didn't believe in his words. 

"Well, he wasn't looking the major of the army.... Stop it!" Burton said to me and then yelled to Cogman again who was singing. 

"What?" Cogman asked and stopped singing.

"You know, if you don't stop it, I will send you back to Cybertron in a little tiny box." Burton threatned.

"Oh, scary." Cogman answered sarcastically.

"Okay, the military life was a big thing and my whole life so please do not underestimate it." I smiled to Burton.

"I'm not underestimating it. Now, qualities of a knight... Miss Viviane, the qualities of a knight, if you please?" Burton asked from her. 

"Qualities of a knight, purity of heart, valor, honor, virtue, intergrity. " Viviane listed and i turned to look at Burton.

"Do i have those?" I asked and i looked at Cade but he shrugged. 

"Okay, but more importantly, please explain to me how excatly i was CREATED because i know i was born from my mother and i remember all the childhood pictures of me." I crossed my arms 'cause that didn't make any sense. All of this happened 'cause the piece of the Allspark.

"But do you really remember?" Burton questioned and i furrowed my eyebrows.  

"What?" I asked and i started to think about my childhood.

"Do you remember? Yes for sure you remember the time when you were in high school but before that?" Burton asked.

"So you're saying that my memories are just erased?" I asked.

"Excatly." Burton nodded and i just stared at him with my eyes open. 

"Why do you think that happened to you? Why would that Talisman stick into you? It's true that your past got erased but i don't know who it was. Y/n, you've always had the AllSpark somewhere deep inside of you but when the cube's piece activated it, you and your whole body started to develope it fully and so you're like them... There is a reason why you're the only one this has happened. There's a reason why he traveled the whole universe to find you. It has always been you. " Burton said and i don't have any idea what to say. This came out of nowhere. 

It makes sense. Everything makes sense right now. The Primes who told me that he is and will always be my destiny. How i met them in the first place and saved the world multiple times with others help of course. It makes fully sense how i got the Allspark or that it could've been there all this time and it just activated... Why i've felt and sensed different things other couldn't. But why am i in this form? I am still a human somehow. It just makes sense...

"What is this? Some sort of map?" Viviane asked and i woke up from my thoughts. I looked at Viviane and she was staring at the table. 

"Oh, this table is from Cybertron. It's a puzzle i've been working on for some time. My entire life, actually." Burton answered to Viviane. 

"And what do these glyphs say about it?" Viviane asked and the table was full of marks.

"They're Olde Cybertronian. A mantra whispered through the cosmos. Seglass ni Tonday." Burton continued.

"That's what he told me. The Knight who i tried to save." I said to Burton.

"With your dying breath, protect the staff." Burton translated it to me.

"Okay, this is ridiculous." Viviane scoffed.

"Shh, it's not! It makes sense but what staff does it meant?" I asked again but then Cogman walked behind Viviane and next to her. He grabbed from her hand and slammed it on the table. The whole table started to vibrate and the swords raised in the air until Viviane let go of the table. 

"They had their name for it. We have ours." Burton continued.

"The staff of Merlin." Viviane murmured.

"Merlin? Like the wizard?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Bequathed to him by an alien race. Fuses with his DNA. So that only he would have the key to unlock its alien power. Or as they knew it in those days, magic." Burton said and that made me turn to look at Viviane.

"And you don't believe in it?" I smiled softly at her. 

"The staff was buried with Merlin's body. A thousand years we've kept it hidden. If it ever fell into the wrong hands, it would mean the imminent destruction of everything we know and love.  The 12 Guardians Knights combined into a mighty dragon to protect it. And now it is in great danger." Burton ended.
