Heroic Spirits; heroes of varying degrees, from different regions and eras, summoned forth to aid their master in a battle to the death against other heroes.
It would be a lie if Merlin said she hadn't been expecting to come across one of the knights at some point, whether it having been Sir Kay or King Arthur themselves. However...
The King Arthur of this timeline appeared to be a woman.
Where was Arthur? Her Arthur, the king she had practically raised? No one seemed to have to answer, either equally as confused as she in regards to this kings gender, or merely shrugging and moving forward with their tasks, uncaring of the casters plight. Of course, a few answered her questions with one of their own - Why are you a woman yourself?
Ugh. No one seemed to hold the answer she desired. A few simply told her to question the king herself, if she was so deeply bothered.
Who had the time to confront their problems directly? Certainly not she. A lie. She had all the time in the world, and always would. Besides, which would she even speak to on the matter? She'd only been there a few days at most, and already had identified at least six different versions of this "King Arthur" among their ranks. Which would have the answers? The shortest one seemed to idiotic to know what she wanted. There was the one dressed in all black, but they seemed to preoccupied with their food to care. The blue one? She seemed more sane then the others, and not as stupid as the short one.
Fine. Fine. If no one was going to give her the information she wanted, then it appeared the caster would have to confront the problem directly. Ugh. Why can I not ever take the easy way out?
Pouting like a spoiled child, Merlin practically stomped over to the saber, arms crossed and brow furrowed.
[ So. You. I need to speak with you. ]
