Daemerungslied: Regenesis Of Dusk

Chapter 10

Lucille and Eleanor pass through the village of Altarnun where they notice an eerie silence. Reaching Bodmin Moor, they are attacked by spriggans. Eleanor brings out her sword and cuts down the spriggan, and is then attacked by another, bigger spriggan which nearly tears off her arm.

"We need to hurry and get to the lake!" Eleanor says.

"Okay, Sister." Lucille says.

As they reach Dozmary Pool, a woman emerges from the lake.

"I am the Lady of the Lake." Says the woman.

"We are here for the sword." Lucille says.

"Of course." The woman says. "You are here for Excalibur, and thus I shall bestow it upon you."

The woman hands them Excalibur.

"You still need King Arthur's Shield, Pridwen." Says the Lady of the Lake.

"Where is it?" Lucille asks.

"It is located at Stirling Castle in Scotland." The woman says. "I can open a portal that will take you there."

"Thank you, Lady of the Lake." Lucille says.

The Lady of the Lake opens a portal to Stirling Castle.

"Let's keep going, Sister." Lucille says.
They walk toward the castle.

"Remember," Eleanor says, "we're looking for our father's shield."

"I know, Sister." Lucille says.

After searching for a bit, they find a man dressed in the attire of a medieval knight.

"You look lost." The man says.

"We are descendants of King Arthur." Lucille says. "We have been told that the shield Pridwen was somewhere in this castle. Do you have any idea where it could be?"

"The shield Pridwen, eh?" the man says. "I'll have to consult the king about this."

"Who are you?" The king asks.

"Your majesty," Eleanor says, "Mordred is on the loose, and we need our father's shield. We've been told it was somewhere in this castle."

"Ah, yes." The king says. "Your father's shield is in my armory. Follow me."

The king takes them to the armory.

"The shield should be somewhere in this room."

Eleanor points out a shield adorned with an image of the Virgin Mary. "That must be it."
They retrieve the shield.

"Thank you, your majesty." Lucille says.
"You're welcome." the king says.

Eleanor and Lucille walk back outside and go theough the same portal they came from.

"We have Pridwen." Lucille says.

"That's good." Says  the Lady of the Lake. "Now you need to retrieve the Holy Grail from Avalon, the island where King Arthur died. Mordred will surely be waiting for you. Once he is defeated, bring the Grail to Caerlon Castle in Wales."

"Can you open a portal there?" Lucille asks.

"No." Says the lady of the lake. "This will require the power of the Grail. Once you have it, you will be able to open a portal."

Lucille and Eleanor set out on the next leg of their journey. They head for the Cornish coast where they see a boat docked.
"We're looking for Avalon." Lucille says.

The captain points out to sea. "Just keep sailing in that direction. It's a short trip."

They sail toward Avalon. Once they reach the island, they are attacked by Mordred.

"So, my bastard sisters are here." Mordred says.

"How dare you, you son of a bitch!" Eleanor says. "We have come to claim the Holy Grail!"

"Do you really think I would just let you have the Grail?" Mordred says.

Eleanor pulls out her sword.

"We will have it one way or another!"

Mordred laughs. "Then bring it, child."

Mordred draws his sword. "Don't think that this will be easy!"

Lucille and Eleanor draw their weapons. They begin to attack Mordred.

"Foolish sisters! You can't defeat me!"

Eleanor is struck in the face with a punch.

"Damnit!"

Lucille strikes Mordred with her sword.

"I will not be defeated!"

Eleanor and Lucille both attack Mordred. He blocks their attacks.

"Is that all you got?!"

Mordred attacks Eleanor. She parries his attack and strikes him in the chest with her fist.

"Damnit, that hurt!"

Mordred attacks Eleanor again. She dodges his attack and stabs him in the leg.

"FUCK!"

Lucille runs up behind Mordred and stabs him in the back with her sword.

"Damnit, this is not the end!"

Eleanor grabs the Holy Grail and uses its power to open a portal to Caerlon.

"Let's go."

Lucille and Eleanor walk through the portal.

"Welcome to Caerlon." Says a guard.

"We have the Holy Grail." Eleanor says.

"Follow me."

They are brought to the throne room.

"You have done well, my children." Says a voice.

A figure appears in front of them. "I am the king of the faeries, Oberon. Thank you for bringing the Holy Grail back to us."

"What now?" Lucille asks.

"Now," the king says, "you may leave. There is nothing more you can do here."

Eleanor and Lucille open a portal back home to Scarborough.

"We did it, Sister!" Lucille exclaims.

Then they hear a voice singing.

"Who's there?" Lucille asks.

She sees a woman dressed in white.
"You have done well, my daughters. You have earned your reward."

The woman touches their heads. "My power is now yours."

Lucille and Eleanor glow white for a moment.

"We thank you, Lady Morgana."

The woman leaves.

"Come, Sister." Eleanor says.

They leave.
