Eurus Continent...
United Kingdom, London province...
Camelot, a florest...
- Mysterious man (approaching, with ninja robes and a sword in his right hand): It's not essential to deliver you alive, so I can kill the men and take the women... (laughing)
- Mysterious young man (kicks the man's head and knocks him out and cleans his hands, looks at the group): Ahh, how are you doin? Tell me good stuff. (he searches the man's pockets, finds nothing, ties him to a tree, goes towards the group, sits by the fire and takes a skewer): Thank you, I'm hungry...
And this is the madman I have been talking about...
- Ryu (stands up, wields his sword): Who are you?
- Tristan Ashura (chewing, takes a deep breath): A madman...
- Mysterious young man (smiling): What bad manners, don't you know that it's ugly to treat a guest badly? Where is the hospitality? Tristan, Lancelot, why are you guys eating without me?
- Arthur Treadway (looking at the young man, silently) "He's just a demented man, a friend of these two..." (looks at Lancelot and Tristan)
- Neythiri (goes towards the young man, puts a dagger around his neck): One last time, W-H-O A-R-E Y-O-U?
- Mysterious young man (raises his hands, looks at Neythiri): Wow, what's your name? My name is Persival Treadway, I'm a man of peace sister... (looking her up and down, smiles): But if you want...
- Neythiri (looking at him, grunts): WHAT DID YOU SAY?!
- All except Arthur, Lancelot and the Tristan (surprised) shout: WHAT?!!!
On the same night...
- Arthur Treadway (trying to master six movements of the Dragon King's Art)
- Alfred (in Arthur's mind, producing a simulation of how the moves are made)
- Arthur Treadway (stops, coughing, spits blood): What is this?! This art is destroying my organs...
- Alfred (in Arthur's mind) "Boss, this art is not for Masters. Queen Cassandra, who was a Supreme Grand Master, well said, that the Dragon king Art and the Emperor Solar Art only the Emperor King himself could use, it is an impossible art for the boss at the moment."
- Arthur Treadway (annoyed, continues to train) "No! What do I need to do to master this art?!"
- Alfred (in Arthur's mind) "Evolve. According to my calculations, with this art the Emperor King was trying to say that there are more levels, Supreme Grand Master is not the peak!"
- Arthur Treadway (meditating on movement while using six movements of the Dragon king's Art) "I don't care if it kills me! I'm going to get there, I must get there!" (coughs up blood)
Hours before...
- Lancelot Chamberlain (looks at Persival, surprised): You are a Treadway? You never told me you're a Treadway! I thought every Treadway was murdered...
- Ryu (sizzles, then sits): You can see that they're really children, instead of saying their hunter codenames, they go around spreading identities...
- Callen (pushes Ryu's head, surprised): Get out of the way sucker! You're a Treadway...? What do you mean?!
- Persival Treadway (looks at all of them): I'm not of direct lineage, that's why I walk freely around the kingdom. I've been following these chickens, and when he got here, he addressed another Treadway, with whom he was talking to?
- Tristan Ashura (looks at Arthur, surprised, takes a mask from his backpack): You'll need to wear a mask too, otherwise we'll attract everyone's attention...
- Orion (looks at Persival, stands up): Who wants to know?
- Persival Treadway (eating): Persival Treadway, current patriarch of the Treadways...
- Arthur Treadway (sitting, looks at Persival with a lifeless look): What do you want?
- Persival Treadway (looks at Arthur) "Intense...": I want to know who the other Treadway is... (sighs)
- Arthur Treadway (staring at Persival): I am.
- Persival Treadway (raises his eyebrow, squeaks): Is that so, you? Tell it to the marines... (laughing)
That's why I say he's crazy. He would die if he mocked the lord's face, today...
- Lancelot Chamberlain (looks at Arthur, puts his hand on his chin): Sorry, what's your first name?
- Everyone (looks at Arthur)
- Arthur Treadway (sighs): Arthur...
- Persival Treadway (kneels in front of Arthur): Forgive me, I had no idea...
- Lancelot Chamberlain (eyes and mouth open revealing his astonishment, looking at Arthur): Are you a direct descendant of Emperor King Pendragon?
- Ryu (slaps his hand in his face): These kids, don't go around spreading your identities...!
- Arthur Treadway (looking at Persival): Stand up Persival, there's no need for that...
- Persival Treadway (stands up, excited): Lord, have you returned to take the throne?! To get rid of all this suffering?! Where is your army?!
- Arthur Treadway (looking at Persival): You must be my cousin, right? Prince Persival, son of princess Diana, my deceased aunt?
- Ryu (approaches Arthur): Don't run away from the subject Treadway, talk! Tell him what you told us, tell your dear cousin, you don't care...
- Lancelot and Persival (look at Arthur): What is he talking about?
- Arthur Treadway (seated, sighs): I didn't come to be king, this kingdom is not mine.
- Lancelot Chamberlain (his smile disappears, clenches his fists as his veins explode on his face): I met you a short time ago, but I already know that you are selfish and irresponsible. How can you say that the kingdom is not yours? Aren't this people yours? Aren't you as english as we are? Is there another son, another heir of the late King Heinrich for you to say it is not yours? These people, we, suffer every day, we cry every day, since these Indratan's invaded the kingdom. They stain the memory of your ancestors, your father, your mother, and you, like a coward, say that you don't want to stand up and fight for their memory?! Being an heir is a responsibility, not a matter of choice. What do you want matters more than the lives of millions of people? What kind of person are you?
- Ryu (crosses his arms, sizzles): I already said that...
- Persival Treadway (looking at Arthur): I honestly can't decide if I'm happy or sad... (sighs): But I know something that can change your mind...
- Neythiri (looks at Arthur): You really are a kid...
- Mei (sits next to Arthur, hugs him): Calm down guys, he must have his reasons. Let's not impose our will...
- Callen (finishes eating all the kebabs, lets out a burp): How delicious...
- Jarvis Sun (stands up, gets everyone's attention): You pig, Callen! Anyway, let's go to sleep, tomorrow we have to hit the road...
Today I know he was afraid, he was afraid of ending up like his father, but Lancelot was right...
1 hour later...
In one of the tents...
- Tristan Ashura (lying on his mattress, looks to the left side, sees that Arthur is still awake): Arthur, what are your goals?
- Arthur Treadway (lying on his mattress, looking at the top of the tent, sighs): Why the question Tristan?
- Tristan Ashura (thoughtful): Since you already know that I am an Ashura. I'm here to follow you, your sisters, Alexia and Allana too, Hera, Alander, Qin-Shi, Selena, the whole Ashura house, the amazons, and now we've seen that Persival also wants to follow you, Lancelot too. I want to know if you know where you're going, if you have a goal, plans...
- Arthur Treadway (looking at the top of the tent): First, find out what Zeus has to do with the amazons...
- Arthur Treadway (looks at Tristan): That's right, you're an Ashura, you must know these things... "You must also know these things, Alfred."
- Alfred (in Arthur's mind) "I was programmed not to reveal."
- Tristan Ashura (laughing, runs his hand through his hair): Y-yes, it's complicated... (hears the voice of the primordial guardian) "Be careful! Don't lie!"
- Arthur Treadway (looking at Tristan) "Who Programmed?": Complicated? Explain, what's complicated?
