[b]The Flaming Knight of Heaven[/b]
[spoiler]Theresa's prelude for the not-upcoming quest.[/spoiler]
[b]Theresa's first day at the dojo had been an eventful one. She had met many people, and then fought a tough fight against Yuria.
As she polishes and sharpens Rose of Flames by the fireplace in her room, she hears a soft knocking at her door. She goes to open it, and standing there is a tall knight, about 6'7". He wears a helmet, obscuring his face, although Theresa seems to recognize him.[/b]
"[i]What do you want, Knight Ephiateus?[/i]"
"[u]You seem to not acknowledge the fact that you fled the Knights of Heaven, Knight Theresa.[/u]"
"[i]I know well enough of my own actions, but that does not answer what you are doing here.[/i]"
"[u]I thought it would be obvious. I'm here to bring you back.[/u]"
"[i]You are in no place to-[/i]"
[b]Suddenly, a crashing noise can be heard. Two knights equally as tall as Ephiateus jump in through the windows, drawing their swords.[/b]
"[u]We knew you wouldn't come willingly, Knight Theresa. Rose of Flames or not, you cannot take on three of us.[/u]"
[b]All the commotion attracts you.[/b]

"[i]He was a... general of the Knights of Heaven.[/i]"

"Hmm i never heard of them"says mia [spoiler]mia spends a lot of time in the woods so she doesn't even know about them[/spoiler]
-
"[i]Okay. But, anywho, I wonder how he ended up with Excalibur-[/i]" [b]Suddenly, a man with golden blonde hair and golden eyes appears, grabbing Excalibur off the ground. He hoists it over his shoulder, and seems to radiate pure power.[/b]
-
"Who are you?" asks mia [i]she waits for answer[/i]
-
"My name is Arthur," [b]He says, as he brings Excalibur down on top Esphiateus. He not only is sliced in half, but his corpse burns.[/b]
-
"My name is mia"says mia
-
"Well, hello, Mia. I thank you for returning Excalibur to me. I hated seeing that... vermin... using my sword." [b]Arthur looks at the burning corpse of Ephiateus with disgust.[/b] "[i]No way. KING Arthur? Oh my gosh, no way![/i]" [b]Theresa runs up to Arthur in disbelief.[/b] "I am no longer king. My kingdom died out long ago."
-
"Your welcome Arthur"says mia [i]mia couldn't believe it she thought that king arthur was a story nothing and nothing more but was unbelievable[/i]
-
"Hmm. You seem to be skeptical."
-
"Its just last there has been a lot of stories passed down about you so its kind of a big surprise to see that your real"says mia
-
"I am very much real, Mia." [b]He says.[/b] "Anyways, I best be off. Thank you, again, for returning my sword." [b]He disappears, leaving golden dust where he was just standing.[/b]
-
"Anytime "says mia [i]mia watches him disappear[/i]

"No." [b]Yuria has appeared behind the Knights, Darkdrift drawn.[/b] "It is her choice. Leave her. Or I will make you."
-
"[u]Huh? Who are you?[/u]" [b]Knight Ephiaeus WHATEVER THE HELL asks, confused.[/b]
-
"Someone that defends those in need. Now go. This can end the easy way, where you take your merry band of knights and run off back to Heaven, or the hard way."
-
"[u]Who are you to say anything of this sort? If it is a fight you wish for, my Knights and I may supply it gladly.[/u]" "[i]Ephiateus, don't.[/i]" [b]Ephiateus turns.[/b] "[u]What are you two doing? Get her![/u]" [b]One knight lunges at Theresa, who blocks the attack. Ephiateus turns towards Yuria, drawing his sword.[/b] "[u]Well, if you were smart, you would stay out of Knight business.[/u]"
-
"If you were smart, you'd figure out that you don't have a chance against a mentor of the Sable Church. Yield. Now."
-
"[i]Yuria, don't underestimate them![/i]" [b]Theresa can barely hold off the two knights attacking her, but Ephiateus blocks you from being able to aid her. His sword begins to glow golden.[/b]
-
"I'm not underestimating. I'm giving them a chance." [b]Yuria's hand glows red, as the Dark Hand forms.[/b]
-
"[i]It's Excalibur! He uses Excalibur![/i]" [b]Theresa shouts, before a knight lands a blow on her, and she is knocked back her wall. She grits her teeth, and growls. Rose of Flames begins to glow a burning red.[/b] [b]Ephiateus rushes at Yuria, slashing downwards with Excalibur.[/b]
-
"Excalibur?! Hand over your blade at once!" [b]Yuria sidesteps to the right and swings at the knight's sword arm.[/b]
-
[b]Easily blocking, Excalibur sends a blast of holy light at Yuria, although it seems not as strong as the Excalibur in the legends. It is no doubt the real thing, but... something is off.[/b]
-
Edited by Orn: 7/26/2016 1:34:51 AM[b]Yuria is still a little stunned.[/b] "...Hey. From what I've heard, Excalibur was stronger than that. Did you buy a replica? Like those cheap ones made in China? Cause it's supposed to be stronger."
-
[b]Ephiateus looks stunned.[/b] "[u]What are you talking about? This is the real thing![/u]" "[i]It is![/i]" [b]Theresa calls out, smashing a knight in the chest.[/b]
