[b]Yuria passed by his room, stopping to look inside.[/b]
"Oh...
Well, I always wanted to..."
[b]She entered Arthur's room, looking at Excalibur gleefully.
But also...with some sadness. Was it right, to touch the holy blade of a legendary king? She was one of the dark, as well.
Minutes later, she decided.[/b]
"Just holding it..."
[b]Yuria reaches for the hilt of Excalibur.[/b]

[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]
