In the middle of the night, Xavier had a dream about himself and Princess Jasmine going on a romantic date.

He then heard a feminine voice repeatedly call out his name, instructing him to get up and go to the gate.

But Xavier had no idea what the voice meant by "gate.".

He awoke quickly, sweating profusely, and saw King Alcmena sleeping close to him.

Xavier wiped his sweat and grabbed his staff to assist him in standing up and walking.

He stood slowly and cautiously and began to walk away from King Alcmena, making sure not to make any sounds that would rouse him up.

Xavier then began looking for the gate he had discovered earlier. As he found it, the voice got clearer, urging Xavier to open the gate.

He then slowly placed his hand on the gate, and a surge of energy began to flow out as the gate gradually opened.

The huge room exposed by the gate had Xavier utterly fascinated.

There were numerous exquisite carvings and Eldora runes scattered around the massive walls.

There were also seven massive stone knight statues armed with swords positioned throughout the vast cave space.

But then Xavier heard the voice again, urging him to look straight ahead, so he did.

To his surprise, he saw a magnificent and divine longsword whose brightness flowed throughout the room.

The holy blade had a contrast of royal blue, gold, and a few red ornamental designs. Its pommel and handle were blue, with a thin red ribbon wrapped around it. Its cross-guard was all gold with red decorative motifs on it.

Finally, the blade featured stunning Eldora rune carvings with a gold and crimson shine.

The sacred blade was edged into the ground, supported only by a tiny pilar.

The voice then directed Xavier to approach the sword and pull it from the ground.

And Xavier did so, gradually approaching the blade and laying one of his palms on it.

But as Xavier laid his hand on it, a series of scenes began to play out in his mind.

Those scenes showed the same mom and husband he had seen many times in his dreams, dancing in delight and playing with their newborn child.

But then the scene in the hospital with the woman and her son played again. But this time, Xavier was finally able to learn the newborn baby's name.

The mother then proposed to her husband, "Oh, how about we name our son Xavier?"

This shocked Xavier to the core because he had no idea why this woman spoke his name or who she and her husband were.

But then Xavier snapped back into reality as he cautiously removed the heavenly blade from the ground.

"I knew it!" Dragon King Alcmena exclaimed with delight and excitement as he watched Xavier unsheathe the holy blade.

"I knew you were the one chosen by the Holy Sword, Excalibur!" he went on.

Xavier was surprised to see King Alcmena because he had assumed he was in deep sleep.

But then, when Xavier held up the Divine Blade, Excalibur, he started feeling dizzy. And then he collapsed on the ground, totally knocked out.

King Alcmena hurried over to Xavier and gently took him in his arms.

And he thought to himself in complete happiness, "This boy, he was chosen by Excalibur.".
