VIDEO | USERNAME: HAWKEYE | FORWARD-DATED TO DEC 4TH

[futurologists]

[The username suggests it should be Riza's face appearing in front of you, but it isn't. It's Arthur's — you may have spoken to him, if you attended the Order meeting, but if you haven't, he still looks very familiar. He's been at the scene of nearly every shocking event, decidedly un-shocked. There's a reason for that.]

Hello. My name is Arthur, and I speak to you today representing the Order of the Chimera. I've tracked down one of your own who has graciously allowed me to contact you all.

You're likely aware that some of your people are being detained by the guard on charges of treason. This is due in no small part to the Order meeting they were present at. My people have been taken, too. I understand you may oppose the Order, but in this instance, I believe it would benefit us all to work together to free them.

[He pauses for a moment.]

If freeing your companions isn't motivation enough, my brother is in custody as well. Although I hear the guard has invented a barrier to absorb magic, I have no doubts he will eventually escape. However, the longer he is kept, the greater his retribution will become. [Gravely:] If you value the safety of the people of Chantes, or even your own, I suggest you join the cause.

There is little time. We infiltrate the prison tomorrow, regardless of the risks. I assure you the damage will be much greater should Michel grow even angrier.

I don't know, exactly, they said that the true king could only pull it out. It wasn't mentioned that it the sword dulled.

[ Or maybe that was Merlin's doing -- there's so many variations, she just took the book that her father liked the most. ]

It's supposed to be symbolic.

[servant]

[Symbolic. Merlin thinks about that for a moment before smiling. He kinda likes that.]

Did your father tell you a lot of stories?

[digophelia]

Oh, yes, my father loved to tell my sister and I stories.

[ A sad little smile drifts across her lips. ]

He told me a few stories about King Arthur when I was a little girl... I don't remember some of them. But they were dear to him, my father was named Arthur, you see.

[servant]

That must've been amazing.

[There's a wistful little smile on his own lips before he thinks to explain.]

I never knew my father growing up. I'd only just met him before coming here.

[Met him and lost him.]

[digophelia]

I'm very sorry to hear that. It's never easy to be apart from your mother and father.

My father passed away when I was a child, but he was such a kind and wise man, I still remember him, as if it were yesterday.
