When Lena and Zatanna arrived in the Tower of Fate, they found someone else waiting for them.

"Who are you?" Zatanna asked, since she could sense a mystic aura in this guy, but she didn't know who he was.

"Lena Luthor, Zatanna Zatara, meet Jason Blood." Doctor Fate said as he appeared behind them.

"Who?" Lena asked, but Zatanna understood.

"Jason Blood. But you have another name and another form don't you." Zatanna said.

"Not by choice. I am cursed to share a form with another." Jason said and before he could elaborate, Lena knew it, on some kind of instinct.

"Etrigan the demon." Lena said, almost as if she felt something or someone else waking up inside her.

"How did you know that?" Zatanna asked as Jason grinned.

"Because she's the one who bound us together." Jason said, confusing them.

"What are you talking about? I've never seen you before in my life." Lena said.

"Apologies. Let me elaborate. It has to do with the power you've no doubt felt surfacing inside you lately, since it's how I located you." Jason said.

"You've been following me?" Lena asked angrily.

"I can see you're taking this the wrong way." Jason said.

"You just admitted that you've been stalking my sister and you're bound to a demon, what part of that can be taken the right way?" Zatanna asked.

"Let him explain. I'm sure that Jason will do a better job explaining this if you give him a chance to." Fate said, giving Jason a pointed look from under his helmet.

"Sorry, I'm going about this the wrong way. Let me start from the beginning." Jason said.

"Probably a good idea, since while the name Etrigan rings a bell, I can't remember the whole story." Zatanna said.

"It all starts back in the days of Camelot, when I was a knight in King Arthur's court. I believed in the cause, honor, valor, strength and pride. Then I met Morgaine." Jason said.

"Let me guess, a pretty girl who didn't need magic to ensnare a guy who normally wouldn't stand a chance with her paid attention to him." Lena said, rolling her eyes since that was such a cliche.

"I was young and naive. Anyways, Morgaine told me everything I wanted to hear and tricked me into letting her into Camelot, after which she betrayed me by poisoning me and leaving me to die and Camelot fell." Jason said.

"Wait, if she killed you, how are you still alive, let alone in this era?" Lena asked.

"Because the sorcerer Merlin felt that death was too good for Jason due to his crime, so he instead cursed him to share a body with the demon Etrigan, which saved his life, but also cursed him with immortality." Fate explained and Jason nodded.

"I cannot be freed from Etrigan to move on until my soul has been redeemed by defeating Le Fay once and for all. Though I suspect that he gave me that task knowing that I'd never truly be able to accomplish it until I found his successor." Blood said.

"What do you mean successor?" Lena asked and Zatanna was the one who answered, since even she knew this.

"Ever since the homo magi first emerged during the days of King Arion before Atlantis sank, there's always been one homo magi whose power was greater than any other mystic on the planet. Even Nabu's powers are dwarfed by that magi. We call that homo magic the Dragon, since just like how the dragon is the most powerful magical creature on earth, that homo magi is the most powerful mystic on Earth. It's kind of like that cartoon Avatar. When the current dragon passes on, their power is reincarnated into another mystic of the next generation and the next Dragon can access the wisdom and experiences of the Dragons that came before them. Arion was the first Dragon and while some have slipped under the radar, others are well known. The most well known of all is Merlin of course, but others include mystics like Circe. But most of the Dragons after that stayed quiet, they aren't very well known, especially when the era of witch burnings began. We lost a lot of good magi in Salem alone. And that's when the records lost track of the Dragon." Zatanna said.

"And considering the fact that the aura I'm getting off Ms. Luthor I've only ever felt around Merlin himself, I think that we've found the next Dragon." Jason said.

"Wait, what?" Lena asked, thinking she'd misheard him.

"No, he's right. Remember how I said that your magic aura was older than any other magic I've ever seen before?" Zatanna asked.

"But how can I be the Dragon?" Lena asked, trying to wrap her head around that.

"There's no pattern to it Lena. The Dragon is always chosen at random, though considering the fact that homo magi have been dying out for years, it was only a matter of time until our family were the only Dragons. Though I am a bit jealous, since I admit, I was kind of hoping to be the Dragon." Zatanna admitted.

"She is right. Which is why I will be taking over Ms. Luthor's training." Dr. Fate said.

"What, why?" Lena asked.

"Because after Merlin emerged as the Dragon, that bearer of that title was considered too dangerous to be trained by anyone but a Lord of Order, since my power is the only mystic force on Earth that comes close to matching yours. Every one of my predecessors wearing this helmet has trained a Dragon during their lifetime and I was beginning to wonder if I'd get my chance to at least start yours." Fate said.

"What do you mean start?" Zatanna asked and Fate chuckled as he removed his helmet.

"I'm not a young man anymore, Zatanna. Nabu's power has kept me alive far longer than most men should, but it can't sustain me for much longer. In addition to training Lena, I must also begin searching for a successor. The next Doctor Fate. But I can begin your training Lena. And it will be even more challenging than anything Zatanna has subjected you to so far. But it will be necessary. Especially once Le Fay discovers what you are." Kent said.

"What does that mean?" Lena asked.

"Morgaine has sought the power of the Dragon since Merlin first bested her. She has searched for the next Dragon since he died, seeking to capture them and steal their power for herself. And she will come for you. You must be ready." Jason said and Lena nodded.

"And I have something that belongs to you. Or rather, a previous version of you." Kent said as suddenly a glowing white staff appeared in his hand.

"I have not seen that staff since the day I was bound to Etrigan. It belonged to Merlin himself." Jason said and Kent nodded.

"It was crafted by Merlin to be the Dragon's staff. The only mystical weapon capable of properly channeling that kind of power. Every dragon since him has used this weapon. Do not use your magic without it until you've completed your training and mastered your power Lena. The staff will help you focus it in the meantime." Kent said as he handed the staff to Lena who took and could that it did feel familiar.

"Thank you. I guess I should prepare." Lena said.

"But for now, we need to get home." Zatanna said and Lena nodded as Fate sent them home.
