[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]

"No need to kneel before me, for I am no longer king. Stand, Balthazar Odinson." [b]He extends a hand.[/b]

[u]Balthazar takes his hand, standing up to his full height.[/u] Have you come here only for your blade, or dost thou have another reason for coming to this Dojo?
-
"Well, a mere mortal like I cannot survive for millennia, no? I've been revived by a dark sorcerer. I wish to end his life, before going to back to my eternal sleep."

[u]Balthazar nods.[/u] It would seen you need help. If I may offer my services in any way, it would be an honor to assist you.

[b]Arthur smiles.[/b] "Then I trust I'll see you soon, Balthazar Odinson. That will be all." [b]He turns, and disappears into golden dust.[/b]

[b]Nora had been drawn in by the commotion and she pulle the Knight away from the door. Taking a spot by Thereasa[/b] "Step Away."
-
"[u]Who are you to tell us what to do?[/u]" [b]Ephiateus asks.[/b] "[i]Nora, what are you doing here?[/i]"
-
"You are member of the Dojo now Teresa. And members have each others back."
-
"[i]Ok... I guess....[/i]" [b]Ephiateus draws a sword, which seems to glow golden.[/b]

[b]Nora draws her own sword. Her arm glowing a blue color as runes engrave themselves into the weapon [/b]

"[i]Careful, Nora![/i]" [b]Theresa shouts as she fights.[/b] "[i]The sword he uses-it's Excalibur![/i]"

"Good. I'll be happy taking it off his corpse."

[spoiler]ROYALXYURIA PLSPLS[/spoiler] "[u]You won't be taking anything off anybody's corpse![/u]" [b]Ephiateus yells, and rushes at Nora, and Excalibur blasts her back. However, the sword does not seem to be as strong is it was in the legends, when King Arthur used it.....[/b]
