"My memory loves you; it asks about you all the time."

The small hand glided over the cool metal once again, the former blonde took in the appearance of the table, "This table," She started as she traced the symbols engraved in the metal "is it from Cybertron?"

Edmond nodded his head, "It's a puzzle I've been working on for some time." He told her as they both looked at the engravings, "My entire life, actually." He admitted.

"And what do these glyphs say about it?" Aurora asked, looking over at the older man.

"They're olde Cybertronian. A mantra whispered through the cosmos." Edmond said making Cade perk up as he spoke in Cybertronian.

"Wait a minute. I heard that before. A knight on a ship. What does it mean?" Cade asked

"With your dying breath, protect the staff."

"Okay this is ridiculous." Vivian stated

"They had their name for it. We have ours. The staff of Merlin. Bequeathed to him by an alien race. Fused 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." Edmond told Vivian, who still shook her head in disagreement. "The staff was buried with Merlin's body. A thousand years we've kept it hidden. If it ever falls into the wrong hands, it would me the imminent destruction of everything we know and love. The 12 guardian knights combined into a mighty dragon to protect it. And now it is in great danger."

Aurora pointed to her talisman along with Cade's, "Megatron. He was after these." She told him

Edmond hummed, "So the battle is upon us. It is why they're here, why they keep coming to Earth. And we must claim the staff before it is too late."

"Wait." Vivian stopped the man, "We what?" Vivian asked Edmond.

"Only a direct descendant of Merlin himself can wield this instrument of absolute power. And you, Miss Vivian, are Merlin's last descendant here on Earth, and as such, you are our last hope." Edmond told the woman who looked at him in confusion.

"Okay, wait. Go back." Vivian started as she rubbed her face, "You're saying that I'm related to the wizard Merlin?"

"Bit of a shock, isn't it?" Edmond laughed, "Only you know the staff's location, imparted to you by your father."
