[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]
[spoiler]Open. Your options are
>Aid Theresa
>Aid the Knights[/spoiler]

"[b]You may call me Arthur.[/b]" [b]He smiles, walking into the room.[/b] "[b]Ah, Rose of Flames. Interesting. Oh, and yours... Darkdrift... oh my. I see. Very, [i]very[/i] interesting, indeed.[/b]" [b]He eyes you cautiously, before extending a hand.[/b]
-
"Oh! KING Arthur! Such a pleasure to meet you, it's an honor, truly... I'm so sorry. Yuria of Londor. [b]She shakes his hand profoundly.[/b] [i]Ok, he...might know...[/i]
-
"[b]Hmm. No need to call me 'King' any longer. My kingdom has long since died out.[/b]" [b]He sighs.[/b] "[b]Anyways, Yuria of Londor, you seem to have... quite the interesting past.[/b]"
-
[i]Shit.[/i] "Oh, yes...it's definitely interesting..."
-
[b]Arthur nods.[/b] "[b]However, the past is the past. There is no use dwelling on it, only moving forward.[/b]"
-
[i]Oh thank god.[/i] "I agree. I agree..."
-
"[b]Now, I best be going.[/b]" [b]He walks out of the room.[/b] "[b]Yuria.... All I have to say is, do try not to end the world with your... beliefs. Nice dojo.[/b]" [b]He exits the room completely.[/b]
-
[b]Yuria is...stunned. She sits down, shaking her head.[/b] "My...beliefs?! MY...BELIEFS??!!"
-
"[i]Whoa there, Yuria. How about, instead of going full edge-mode, you tell me what that was all about?[/i]"
-
[b]She gets up, looking at Theresa.[/b] "...I'm sure Arthur would love to tell you." [b]Yuria walks out, angrier than before. She had respected Arthur, but...that? That was enough to make her snap...[/b]
-
"[i]Oy! Wait up![/i]" [b]Theresa runs out after Yuria.[/b] "[i]I don't get it! Maybe, I don't know, he was trying to warn you, or something?[/i]"
-
"I don't know... I don't know if he targeted my plan or...oh no... I have to go along with it. Anri has to go along with it..."
-
"[i]You know, I'm not going to question it. Where are we going?[/i]"
-
"I'm going home. That's all I'm doing. Planning more, it has to be flawless..." [b]She crosses her arms, heading to her room.[/b]
-
"[i]Okay. Well. Buh bye![/i]" [b]Theresa waves.[/b] [b]When Yuria enters her room, however, Arthur awaits.[/b] "And you're sure that crushing the flame will bring positive outcomes?" [b]He says, not looking at Yuria.[/b]
-
[b]Yuria sits down on her bed, sighing.[/b] "You're just like the others... Lordran is stuck inside of a constant cycle of bringing the fire back. A constant cycle of death, destruction, and curses. Nothing has changed since...ever. By crushing the Flame, Anri will be bringing a new age. Of peace. Prosperity. Without it, the dead will not rise again for some curse. Hollows might even be cured..." [b]She looks up at Arthur.[/b] "And then...there's the Nameless King..."
-
"Tell me more of this "Nameless King"."
-
"He wanted this to happen. For Ornstein to fail, for Mortar to die. So he could take the flame, usurp it, and...and destroy everything... That's why Anri is so needed. She's the last Unkindled, the last person that could either light the flame...or crush it. So that this dimension, like some others, isn't wiped out. Trust me..I know what I'm doing."
-
[b]Arthur nods.[/b] "If you believe it is right, is for the good of the people, then I shall not question it. For the action itself only makes up half the consequence."
-
[b]Yuria is silent, but shaking her head.[/b]
-
"Hm? What is it?"
-
"Nothing. I'm sorry. For...being an idiot and...well, Y'know..."
-
"No, I don't think I do know. Forget about it. As I said, the past is the past...." [b]Arthur seems to lose himself in memories.[/b]
-
"Arthur? You ok, bud?" [b]Yuria seeks concerned.[/b]
-
"Huh? Oh, me?" [b]He shakes his head, laughing slightly.[/b] "I'm fine. Best be going, however.... I trust I'll see you soon, Yuria of Londor."
