Unknownfate

Chapter 83

I made my way over to Mordred after parting with Coulson, for the first time, getting a good look at just how she had been losing all that money.

She was at a poker table. Naturally. Leaning back in her chair like it was a throne, legs spread, sunglasses perched on her head like she�...

Chapter 82

Chapter 82

We made it back to the casino safely, not that much could have honestly stopped us. But after enjoying a day in the sun, Modred had worked up quite the appetite, and while she had devoured about every bit of ice cream half a mile around our spot, it wasn’t enough.

Though ...

Chapter 81

The beach is a wonderful and horrible place. Sun, salt, and sand. Those are the three words that best describe the place.

Sure, the roaring sounds of the ocean and the laughter of people having fun did bring a bit of a smile to people’s lips, but really, sun, salt, and sand.

...

Chapter 80

It didn’t take all that long before Mordred and I found ourselves sitting in the main restaurant. A place far finer than anywhere in our time. Velvet curtains, crystal glasses, fine, impossibly white linen tablecloths, and everything made with the finest woods.

I, with my fine suit...

Chapter 79

The monitors glowed dimly in the dark-paneled room. A dozen camera feeds showed every inch of the casino floor, from the high-stakes lounge to the front lobby and every bar in between.

Victor Alvarez, the Floor Director, stood with arms folded behind his back, watching the main scree...

Chapter 78

The glass doors parted before us, and we stepped into another world.

Cool air washed over my skin like a balm—scented with cologne, expensive alcohol, and the faintest trace of ambition.

The lighting was low but dazzling, gold and crimson everywhere. The marble floor gleamed ...

Chapter 77

Mordred and I stepped through the gate, and with another tap on the TemPad, it closed. “Sure is warm here, isn’t it?” I couldn’t help but commend myself while putting the device in my pocket.

“Heh, I bet you wished you dressed more like me, don’t you?” Mordred said with...

Chapter 76

I finished telling my knights the story of how I came into possession of the funny little device in my hand. “And that, is how I acquired it.”

Silence.

For one breath. Then two.

Then—

“You were attacked?” Gawain roared, surging to his feet so viol...

Chapter 75

It made sense; this was, after all, the Marvel universe.

And while the TVA wasn’t the most prominent organization, it was a powerful one, that, if it were around, would for sure want to deal with me.

“I see,” I said aloud, my voice calm. “You’re from the TVA.”

Chapter 74

After a night of thinking and planning, I decided that there was no reason to put my plans off. I couldn’t foresee a time when I would have less work to do, not anytime soon, at least.

Which meant that either I put it off by years Or I might as well go now and get it dealt with. An...

Chapter 73

“One last thing? Very well, I might be able to finish all my work today as long as it isn’t too bad.” I lightly joked, or so I wished, I truly rarely was able to finish all my work in one day without working well into the night.

“The reopening of domestic coal mines has eased...

Chapter 72

The room was quiet, save for the gentle scratch of a quill against parchment. Stacks of documents lined the desk, each one demanding a signature, a seal, or a decision. The burden of the crown was not always glorious—most days, it was ink-stained and dull.

Agravain stood across fro...

Chapter 71

Raven honestly didn’t know what to think. Once more, she had been shocked beyond belief by the knights of Camelot.

First was the sheer power they held. Then the fact that Mordred was a woman, then the fact that she didn’t seem to care about mutants at all.

Then, after final...

Chapter 70

“So let me get this straight, your shapeshifting isn’t due to magic, but instead an ability you were born with?”

“That’s correct.”

“And this ability only lets you shapeshift?”

“Yeah, only shapeshifting, well, I guess it also has extended my lifespan a bi...

Chapter 69 (nice)

Since arriving in Albion, Raven had, on behalf of Erik and the entire brotherhood, carried out some tests, even having other mutants come over and risk themselves.

All to see what the current view on mutants is within the newest nation in the world.

Most of the tests involve ex...

Chapter 68

With the tournament coming to an end, even with the unexpected entry of Morgana Le Fay. It was now time to deal with just that.

While Mordred might have been able to deal with her easily enough, it was hardly a proper way of gauging the strength of a witch.

No, few were like Me...

Chapter 67

As Mordred landed on the tournament grounds, the cheers of the crowd roared around her, a wave of anticipation and excitement surging through the stands.

Gawain stood across from her, resting his sword on his shoulder, his breath still steady despite the grueling battle he had just f...

Chapter 66

“AHHHRRRHHH! Cough gouch… Damn… Ahhh.” Inside a bright and stylish London apartment, a gruesome scene was set up in the bedroom. A pentagram drawn in blood lay on the floor, encircled by arcane runes, with strange objects positioned at each point of the star.

In the center wa...

Chapter 65

The laughter didn’t come from Lancelot, not that I had expected him to laugh at his victory. He had never been the type to do something like that, and after his affair with Guinevere, well after all that, he was even less likely to do something like that.

Mordred would no doubt be ...

Chapter 64

The excitement in the air shifted instantly. The melee, the swordplay, the archery—they were all grand, but the joust was the true heart of the tournament. The test of both power and control, of honor and resilience.

Before I could say more, Blessed’s booming voice shattered the ...

Chapter 63

I watched as Sir Lancelot stepped forward once more, his poise unshaken, his focus sharp. He breathed once, drew back his bow, and released—the arrow cutting through the wind as if guided by an unseen force before embedding itself dead center once more.

"BEHOLD! THE PARAGON OF CHIV...

Chapter 62

Camelot had everything it needed to host such a tournament, so after I made my way back to the castle, and informed Agravain of my intention, it didn’t take long before everything was ready.

It could have been even sooner, if I hadn’t wanted a few weeks of time for people to get ...

Chapter 61

Heathrow Airport had once been the busiest in the world. Hundreds of thousands of people moved through it every day. It connected the world, yet now it was disconnected from it.

Where the thousands of people working there had once been busy day and night keeping the airport running, ...

Chapter 60

“And that concludes my report, Director.”

“Thank you, Agent Romanoff; for now, stay where you are and continue to gather information; I will contact you when I have further instructions; consider it a vacation.”

Fury ended the call and leaned back, letting out a sigh as...

Chapter 59

“Natasha.”

…

“So, a pretty nice place you got here.” Natasha opened as they sat in Yalena’s home.

Yalena opened a bottle of wine. “Can’t offer you coffee, but I figured something a little stronger might not hurt.”

“I had heard that there wasn’t...

Chapter 58

My name is Liz Bain. Been living in Liverpool my whole life. I have seen a lot of things in my time, good and bad. Yet I had never expected to see this. A day when King Arthur himself returns from the dead?

Where magic knights slaughter the military like it's nothing. Where magic tur...

Chapter 57

I couldn’t help but sign once again as I looked at the massive pile of paperwork still needing to be done.

Ever since I unleashed the holy light of Rhongomyniad, I had been swamped with work. Taking over a major nation and economy wasn’t easy. The sheer amount of work was stagger...

Chapter 56

Standing atop the highest tower in Camelot, I watched the battle unfold. The full might of a military ground force was unleashed. And Mordred effortlessly withstood it all. While it wasn’t the entire might of the UK, it wasn’t far from the best this age had.

While the Marvel univ...

Chapter 55

One soldier, braver or more foolish than the rest, stood and fired point-blank. The bullet struck her shoulder plate, deflected harmlessly into the dirt. Before he could blink, Mordred was upon him.

Her sword cleaved through his rifle, the blade continuing through his torso with sick...

Chapter 54

One thing that was far more impressive than in my time was how fast the military moved. Back then, it would take days, even weeks, to move an army around. But now? It could be done in hours.

Over the past day and night, the British military and government had been very busy.

On...
