[i][b][u]A Trip into the Distant Past[/u][/b][/i]
[b]A dark, stormy day. Nothing to do. The loud group of Vio, Fentis, Clari, and Theresa are drunk, laughing, and breaking things. Everybody was stuck inside the dojo, everybody besides one.
Arthur had left the moment the storm started, to search for something. He had left Excalibur in his room, the door slightly open.
You've always wondered what it felt like, to hold a legendary sword.[/b]
English
-
"Brother, he yielded, and dropped his weapon. Do you think he deserves death?"
-
"He was a criminal, either way, Arthur. In fact, I have not been exactly... in agreement, with many of your decisions, as of late."
-
"Explain what you mean by that, please."
-
"I mean, I feel as though you should no longer be King. I have convinced many in your army to think the same way." [b]He looks up.[/b] "[i]Brother.[/i]"
-
"Oh..." [b]YuriArthur sighs.[/b]
-
"It's already begun." [b]Outside the castle, hundreds of knights and warriors clash.[/b] "Well, brother? What does the King plan on doing?"
-
"You started a war... I believe that I must finish it." [b]YuriArthur rises.[/b]
-
"So quickly, brother?" [b]Knights rush into the room, guarding Arthur's brother.[/b] "I'm afraid now is not the time." [b]The knights usher Arthur's brother out.... Time speeds by, and it is ten years later, however, Arthur seemed to have stopped aging at 29. His civilians lay, dead, on the ground, and everywhere, his army was dead, as well. Only his brother stood in front of him, wearing full battle gear.[/b] "Ah, brother... look what Camelot has come to."
-
"Why all of this? So many deaths, but for what purpose? So you could become the king yourself?"
-
[b]He laughs maniacally.[/b] "Who would want to be king," [b]He shouts, running at Yuria.[/b] "Of a dead kingdom!" [b]He lashes at Yuria with his sword.[/b]
-
"You fool!" [b]Parrying his weapon, YuriArthur retaliates with swiping at his opponent's arm quickly.[/b]
-
[b]Excalibur slices clean through Arthur's brothers body, and he falls to the ground, dead. Everybody around Yuria is dead. The civilians, her/his parents, her/his army, and worst of all; his/her brother, the beloved brother. Yuria feels an inescapable sense of dread.[/b]
-
[spoiler]Does this mean that YuriArthur kills themselves?[/spoiler] "No...No..." [b]YuriArthur looks at Excalibur, realizing what they had done.[/b] "...I..." [b]They slowly raise the blade, the tip pointed at their chest.[/b]
-
[spoiler]Yesh.[/spoiler] [b]As the sword reaches his/her chest, Arthur pulls Excalibur away from Yuria.[/b] "I believe that's all that needs to be seen...." [b]He says, sighing.[/b]
-
[b]Yuria screams, jumping back and hitting the wall.[/b] "Oh n...no...I'm so sorry, I...I didn't know..."
-
"It's fine, Yuria. Mistakes will be made. And as you saw... I've made plenty." [b]He sheathes Excalibur.[/b] "I murdered my own brother. Everybody lay dead, around me. I committed suicide." [b]He sighs, and looks at Yuria.[/b] "Well, now you know the truth behind King Arthur."
-
[b]She looks at him.[/b] "...But you're a legend. You had a purpose to do the things you did. You've always seemed like a good person. If you knew who I really was... I'd be surprised if you'd even want to speak to me ever again."
-
"Yuria. I've said it before, I'll say it again, and I will make sure that it is said over and over again after my death. The past is the past. I do not judge people based on past actions, but on the ones they make in the present."
-
"Hmm. Fine. I should leave."
-
[b]Arthur smiles, and gestures towards his door. It's wide open, and Anri, Ornstein, and Smough stand outside, poking their heads in.[/b]
-
[i] Shit, she sees us. What do we do, O and Smo?![/i] [b]"RETREAT! RETREAT!!"[/b] [u]"Fall back! Fall back!"[/u] [b]Smough picks up Anri and starts running, Ornstein behind him.[/b] "Look at those three... I'll see you around, Arthur." [b]Yuria runs out, going after the three.[/b] [spoiler]Fin?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Yup.[/spoiler]
-
*Sketch peaks into the room and sees Excalibur.* "Huh... Did he mean to leave it here? Someone could just come in and take it..."
-
[b]Excalibur seems to glow brightly, golden light filling the room.[/b]
-
"Huh? What's it doing?"
