[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]

[b]Ephiateus looks around, frightened. He drops Excalibur on the ground, and runs. Theresa knocks the other two knights out of the window.[/b]
-
[b]Nora picks Excalibur up as the room lightens up [/b]
-
[b]Nothing seems to happen, but a voice speaks at the door.[/b] "May I have my sword back?"
-
[b]Nora glances at the man [/b] "Depending on who you are yeah." [i]It's Arthur. King Arthur. Not anymore at least.[/i] [b]Royal is leaning against the far wall and Nora looks at him surprised [/b]
-
[b]Arthur turns towards Royal.[/b] "Ah, Royal. You seem to have been studying up."
-
[b]Royal glances at Arthur [/b] "You two know each other?"
-
"Hm. Not necessarily. However, the Dight Legion was around... back when I was king."
-
"We're still around." [b]Royal says distastefully [/b]
-
"Hm. Good to know." "[i]Umm, what's going on, Nora?[/i]"
-
"How should I know Teresa?" [i]What are you doing here Arty?[/i]
-
"[i]Don't call me that. I was revived a by a sorcerer.[/i]" [b]Arthur says 'sorcerer' with disgust.[/b]
-
[b]Royal glares at him with anger [/b] "Why?"
-
"[i]I have no clue. However, he is meddling with Life and Death, and I will put an end to it.[/i]"
-
"I will assist you. I do not care for those kinds of sorcerers."
-
[b]Arthur looks at Royal.[/b] "[i]I appreciate the offer.[/i]"
-
"It's not an offer." [b]Royal looks Arty in the eyes. Dead serious [/b]
-
[spoiler]Arty? Seriously?[/spoiler] [b]Arthur sighs.[/b] "[i]I guess I'll have to accept, then, Royal. I trust I'll be seeing you soon?[/i]"
-
[spoiler]Yup[spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler] [i]Indeed you shall. [/i] [b]With that Royal disappeared [/b]
-
[b]Arthur looks back towards Nora and Theresa.[/b] "Thank you again for returning Excalibur to me." [b]With that, he spins, disappearing into a golden dust.[/b] [spoiler]Fin?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Not yet![/spoiler] [b]Nora glances at Teresa [/b] "That was weird. I should probably get going."
-
[spoiler]O SHET![/spoiler] "[i]Hmm? Where to?[/i]"
-
[b]Nora seems awful nervous [/b] "No where!"
-
"[i]Hmm. Sure. I'll follow you, then.[/i]" [b]Theresa looks suspicious.[/b]
-
"You can't! There's no need!"
-
"[i]I'm sure there is. Don't mind me.[/i]"
