Girl: Yeah thanks, mister knight.

Percival: Please call me Percival.

Girl: Nice to meet you, I'm Lorelei. I work here in this town.

Percival: Do you have business here? You look like a villager.

Lorelei: My family was poor. Many villagers from my home died due poverty. So I came here to restart my life.

Percival: You should be more careful, there are men who take advantage of their positions.

Lorelei: Yeah. I have a little cottage over there on a field.

Percival: Come on, I'll take you home.

Percival was running to the cottage and saw Lorelei on the bed. She was carrying a baby on her arms. It was a blonde little boy.

Percival: Lorelei! How do you feel?

Lorelei: (Smiling a little) I'm okey, Percival. But look who came to our world.

Percival was stroking the baby's head who was crying a little.

Percival: Welcome to the family. Alexander.

Lorelei: Alexander? That would be his name?

Percival: Yeah, I see he will have potential for something big. I'm sure.

Lorelei: How do you know?

Percival: I talked with the Oracle.

Lorelei: That old woman? I'm not sure we must believe anything she says.

Percival: I know her. She mostly gave us good visions util now.

Lorelei: Okey, then we must teach our Alexander he will be a brave knight like his father. He will work for the Kingdom.

Percival: That's right!

Lorelei: I heard King Carl will have a child soon, right?

Percival: Yeah, I was told the Queen was in bed. She's going to give birth.

Lorelei: I hope my little Alexander can meet him or her.

Percival: Sure. (To Alexander) You hear that? You could be friend with King Carl's child.

Percival and Lorelei were smiling with the baby Alexander.

At the other day, King Carl was waiting out from his room. A maid came from there.

Maid: My lord, your child was born. It's a girl.

King Carl: Really? I was blessed with a girl. My little Hestia. Also Percival had a boy. I wonder when I'll meet him.

It's seen Queen Mary was holding a baby pink-haired girl.

Alexander's voice: At that time also Hestia was born. But also those who are important to me. From Ashford family.

At that family, it was born a blonde girl.

Mr Ashford: So she arrived to inherit our magic arts.

Mrs Ashford: Yeah, our daughter. Cassandra.

Alexander's voice: And from Feuerborn family, the one who I'll meet her twice.

At that family, another blonde girl was born.

Mr Feuerborn: My Little Helena. She got your beauty.

Mrs Feuerborn: Look at her. She's going to be beautiful.

Mr Feuerborn: And greatest sorceress like us.

5 years later…

Percival was returning to his home. He seemed very exhausted.

Lorelei: (Worried) Percival! Are you okey?

Percival: Yeah. I had a dreadful battle with some ancient creatures.

Lorelei: Ancient creatures?

Percival: Yeah, some armies are using them to attack our land. But we managed to defeat them.

Lorelei: But who could those troops be?

Percival: They are called the Dark Knights. Rebelious knights who betrayed our kingdom and used black armors. They have heavy artillery.

Then a kid came too. It was a kid Alexander.

Alexander: (Arriving) Father! You're back.

Percival: (Stroking his head) How are you doing, Alexander?

Alexander: People said you were fighting with monsters that tried to attack our home!

Percival: It's true but I won't surrender so easily.

Alexander: Father, when I grow up, I'll be a knight. So I'll fight with you too against those bad people.

Percival: Hehe, good boy. But you'll need to effort a lot. Being a knight is very tougher.

Alexander: Yeah! I'll do my best!

At other side; an old woman was heading to the thronre room. There was King Carl.

King Carl: You came, Oracle.

Oracle: (Coughing) I came as you asked me, my lord.

King Carl: How good are your visions? My troops are still wining against those invaders. We're still defeating those Dark knights.

Oracle: My lord, I have bad news. In some months, your kingdom is going to be in danger.

King Carl: What do you mean?

Oracle: The ancient creature will awake to destroy everything.

King Carl: The ancient creature? Do you mean…?

Oracle: The Millenium Dragon will rise.

King Carl: The Millenium Dragon. That powerful monster from legends. Many men died to try to defeat that monster.

Oracle: That's right, but that won't be the worst you will have.

King Carl: What?

Oracle: Listen my lord. Someone close to you will betray you and your kingdom. Letting those Dark Knights to take this land.

King Carl: Someone close? Could it be Percival? No way! I know him years ago before I became king.

Oracle: The one closer to you isn't someone who isn't from of your family.

King Carl: (In shock) My family? My wife? Or my daughter? (Angry) You dare to tell my own family will betray me?

Oracle: You'd better watch out. This vision could be real.

King Carl: (Angry) Shut up! Don't say my family will betray our own home. One more word and I'll order to execute you!

Oracle: (Coughing) It doesn't matter because I'm going to die anyway.

Some days later; Percival and King Carl were riding on horses as watching the people working on grass field.

Percival: The production of vegetables is not going well.

King Carl: Yeah, because of constantly attacks of invaders, including the Dark Knights.

Percival: Our men are wounded and we need more supports from our wizards.

King Carl: That's difficult. They are working in improve their magic arts to create strong defenses to strike back those invaders.

Percival: I understand my lord.

King Carl: I'll call the other kingdoms to get some supports.

Percival: That would be good.

King Carl: By the way Percival, how is your child? I know you have a boy.

Percival: He's doing well. Alexander seems getting some skills as knight. He asked me to train him.

King Carl: He! That kid has potential.

Percival: And what about your child?

King Carl: Hestia is being educated to be a good princess.

Percival: Good princess? She's your child, she will be a good princess.

King Carl: (Worried) I hope so.

Percival: I wonder if those wizard families are going to support to defend our home.

King Carl: Did you hear the Feuerborn family?

Percival: The famous wizard family! Like the Ashford family.

King Carl: Yeah, they seem to be rivals in magic but I'm sure they won't fight to provoke a war.

Percival: I know Feuerborn father, he seems have a child, the same age as Alexander.

King Carl: And the Ashford family too.

Percival: There will be more skilled people in future.

King Carl: The next generation will be better and protect our land.

At other day, Percival was in front of a old woman who was in bed. It was the Oracle.

Percival: How do you feel?

Oracle: Like an old woman.

Percival: Your magic skill is weak.

Oracle: I passed my life predicting the future of this kingdom, but now there will be a bad future when I die.

Percival: Bad future?

Oracle: The mythical beast will rise again, there will be a lot of murdered people.

Percival: No way!

Oracle: Also those Dark Knights will attack our land, more savage than ever.

Percival: I won't let our home being destroyed by those guys.

Oracle: But that beast, the millennium Dragon. No body was able to defeat it. Many warriors died by trying to get the famous title.

Percival: What famous title?

Oracle: (Coughing) Did you hear the title The Dragon Knight? And old prophecy. It's said… (Coughing) when a warrior kills the Millenium Dragon, he will adquired the power of that mythical beast, and will have the great power to defeat any enemy in this world.

Percival: I heard that in my childhood, but that was a legend because that beast didn't show in a long time.

Oracle: (Coughing) You shouldn't ignore this, that beast would the nightmare of our generation, and also your child's generation.

Percival: That won't happen! I'll protect our home and my family!

Oracle: Don't underestimate that Dragon. Or you'll lose your family.

Percival: I'll fight to protect my family!

Oracle: (Feeling more sick) Be careful because the Kingdom palace will be the beginning of our home destruction.

Percival: (In shock) What did you mean?

Oracle: The King's family, one of them will… (Fainted)

Percival: Hey! What do you mean with that? Hey!

Alexander's voice: After that day, the Oracle died, taking the secret of a traitor from the Kingdom.

At other day, it's seen Percival walking with Alexander to a grass field.

Alexander: Father, do you think I'll become a knight like you?

Percival: Of course! Remember, you are my son.

Alexander: Please father. Would you train me in order to be strong like you?

Percival: Of course. But that would be hard.

Alexander: Okey.

Percival: (Thinking) "I wonder what did the Oracle mean by the King's family?"

Alexander: Father? Something wrong?

Percival: Eh? No, nothing, by the way, would you like to play with Princess Hestia?

Alexander: That little girl? Nah!

Percival: Hey! Show little respect to her. She's our King's daughter.

Alexander: I met her but she's too bossy when we play.

Percival: Sure, she's a little bossy but remember if you are going to become a Knight, your duty is protect her.

Alexander: (Uncomfortable) Do I have to?

Percival: Yeah.

Alexander: But I don't like her.

Percival: Don't worry. I don't force you to marry her.

Alexander: No way! I prefer a beautiful girl, maybe something who has potential like me.

Percival: Oh? Maybe you'll meet her some day.

Alexander: (Smiling) Yeah.

At other day, Alexander and Percival were practicing with wooden swords.

Alexander: (Attacking) Here I go!

Percival: (Blocking his attack) Come on, you can make that better.

Then, Alexander was exhausted after training.

Alexander: It's harder than I thought.

Percival: Don't worry. I trained harder in my youth.

Alexander: I'll do my best effort!

Later; Alexander was running on a field.

Alexander: When I defeat those enemies, the Kingdom will recognize my bravado! I'll be famous in this world!

Alexander was imagining being acclaimed as a hero in the Kingdom.

Alexander: Yes! (Picking up a wood stick) I, Alexander Drake, will become the greatest knight in history!

Then, Alexander was running as using the stick as a sword.

Alexander: I will… I will… I will become the greatest knight in history!

Then he threw that stick and took a wood sword which he was carrying.

Alexander: Ah! Look at me! I'm a Knight! Like my father, I'll become the greatest Knight in history!

Alexander's voice: My life was peacefully and good. Until that day I meet her…

Alexander was running until meeting someone, a light blonde little girl.
