Outside the city walls
Christopher was trekking through the woods, unsure of where they were headed. He was following Marhaus, who seemed to know where they needed to go.
Marhaus, "We should be getting close."
Christopher, "Close to what?"
Marhaus, "Close to the meet up spot, with Sir Baudwin and Princess Margarete."
Deep in thought he wondered, 'I wish I know the people the Prince did, before I took over his body.'
Christopher, "So is Margarete my sister, or some other Kingdom's Princess?"
Marhaus, "Oh, yes. You came from somewhere else... Well Princess Margarete is the only daughter of King Uther and Queen Igraine.".. "Queen Igraine had three other daughters with her first husband Gorlois, the Duke of Tintagil.. Your half sister's name's are Margawse, Elaine and Morgan."
Christopher, "Why did Duke Gorlois and Queen Igraine separate?"
Marhaus, "They were married, but Gorlois rebelled and lost the war. This led to a tense situation between King Uther and then widowed Igraine.. King Uther's advisers insisted, he married Igraine. It turned out that Uther upon summoning Igraine, fell in love at first sight. They were then happily married."
Christopher, "Was my mother okay with this?"
Marhaus not having considered that before, "I suppose so. It's not like she had much of a choice in the matter, as a woman in her situation."
Christopher not too happy about what was said, "Did she at least seem happy?"
Marhaus, "I would say so. She and her daughters were spared the blade, thanks to Uther's actions."
Christopher, "Well then why didn't she stop the assassination attempt?"
Marhaus not wanting to say the next part. "Because she is dead... She died two years ago, after the Apocalypse began. She became vary ill, it was an illness no Priest could Cure."
Christopher was saddened by this news, but at least she wasn't really his mother. "So who is this Queen Catrina, I have heard about? You had also mentioned that there were other Princes?"
Marhaus, "Oh, yes. You have two older brothers, the oldest is named Judas and was always very kind, he is currently fifteen. Your other older brother was never too kind to you, he was also very greedy. His name is John, and he is fourteen."..
"As for the Queen, she is very wicked. After she showed up Uther never acted the same again. He acts as if he were wrapped around her finger, I think she enchanted him."
Christopher deep in thought, heard a noise of fighting in the distance. "We should hurry, someone seems to be in trouble."
Marhaus now hearing it as well, picks up Christopher, before dashing off into the distance.
Christopher not sure of what they may find, activates God's Eyes. It doesn't take long for them to come upon a strange sight.
There was undead Zombies surrounding a Knight.
Christopher looked at his status.

Christopher, 'That's Sir Baudwin, he looks to be in trouble.'.. "Marhaus, let's help him. He's injured."
Marhaus, "We? You stay here."
Setting Christopher down, Marhaus uses Change. Getting there in only a moment, he slashes three Zombies in half.
After falling to the ground, the upper bodies of the Zombies began to crawl after them.
Marhaus, "Sir Baudwin. It looks like you have come into trouble." Looking around he said, "Where is the Princess?"
Baudwin, "She is fine. We were dealing with pursuers for a while, but I defeated them. Shortly after, Merlin took Princess Margarete to safety.. Then these bastards showed up."
They were fending off Zombies, one after another. Only dispatching them when they struck their heads.
Marhaus, "How'd you get so banged up? It couldn't have been from these guys."
Baudwin, "The pursuers had an Assassin amongst them."
Marhaus surprised, "Assassin? That couldn't be a coincidence, we had that happen to us as well."
Baudwin, "That is strange. Speaking of which, where is Prince Christopher?"
Marhaus, "Oh, the Prince? He is over there, at that hill." He said pointing at Christopher.
Slicing off a Zombies head, Baudwin said. "You left the Prince all by himself? Have you lost your mind?"
Marhaus, "He's more capable than you know.. Besides, it would have been far more dangerous to bring him into battle."
Baudwin, "Prince Christopher is your top priority. You should have left me to die."
Marhaus, "That isn't what the Prince wanted."
While the battle was going on. Christopher saw the corruption of the souls, that had left the bodies of the Zombies.
Christopher, 'This is awful. It's as if their souls are rotting away... How is this possible? Souls are supposed to be immortal.'
He began to pray, 'God, how do I save these poor souls?'
God, "You need to get the skill Purify. However that won't work, since you don't have enough for it.. For now, put a temporary Blessing of Purify on your sword."
Christopher took his sword out of his Item Box, placed his hands on the blade, activating Blessing. He then sees a screen saying, "Blessing of Purify 30 FP for temporary Purify, or 3,000 FP for permanent Purify."
