records of my legend had been stricken from the world along with my recollections.


    That is... surprising?'' I tilt my head.


    I have a clever little Princess on my hands…'' I blink. ''That''s a first.''


    Dumb but cute and easy to bully.''


    She''s learning. How glorious''


    ... Wow. Even a life(and death) away I still managed to have Boku no Hero flashbacks…"


    is in the end just a girl. A girl in a bit over her head. And now she''s my Princess, it is only natural I should help her in all endeavours.


    Good.''


    The ''war'' hasn''t even started and I''m already winning.''


    that a "meeting".


    Who knows.''


    But that''s enough running from reality for now.''


    Hwaaa...''


    something anyway.


    Rather impressive actually.''


    Announcing the arrival of His Royal Highness the King! All hearken the King of Britons Arthur Pendragon!"


    feel the sheer intensity of their fervour vibrate through the air on their skin.


    ... I guess he''s (she''s) still pretty popular at this time.''


    abnormally well documented you know that?" She looks at me. "Yet the majority of all those sources are half conflicting, half stupid, and half slander yet all are well written and have multiple origins to back them up!" She exclaims quietly.


    Ugh.'' I involuntarily make a face.


    understatement is an understatement.


    The church huh…''


    religious" and "pure" organisation… was a joke. A complete and utter farce. ONly concerned with power and money."


    property, "I hiss the word out, "of the church. Despite their apparent purity," I spit the word out, "our dear and holy father priests were regular patrons… They did not treat the women well."


    all bad." I narrow my eyes. It was hard for me to say given how much hate was cultivated between us in life... but that was the truth. "The holy men and women stationed in Camelot were mostly alright, and the places I toured often were generally less corrupt…"


    universal enemies, telling stories of how they were all monsters, rapists and beasts; making them even easier to hate... that was the truth.


    Too few, too few.'' I was still bitter however.


    disappeared" more priests than I would care to admit during the early days.


    at least half of the assassins I dealt with in my lifetime were zealots.


    more popular…" He was actually meant to fail that. A failure on top of him "abandoning" his ruling duties was supposed to bring down his popularity with the common people.


    And keep in mind, these are the crooked roots of those fucks who would go on to fund nine stupid as shit Crusades…''


    Plot of the Holy Grail.


    Quest for the Holy Grail made Arthur and his Knights stronger whilst further cementing his place in the heart of the people and history.


    complicated feelings noises) at Camlann...


    In any case.''


    -blink, "who were both men," -blink, blink, "and you according to some sources, used you foul magic to seduce the two brave knights to your harloting ways…"


    Blink, blink, blink.


    Bruh.''


    Uruz. Raidho.


    Chudan no Kamae in Kendo terms.


    Impressive.''


    Ingwaz.


    Feh… not used to this duel style format…''


    So then.'' I fight off a grimace. ''What to do know huh?''


    are coming." Slowly but surely. "I''m not sure why I even have amnesia in the first place though…"


    Though I think it was by my own design strangely enough.''


    being here fills me with an intense sense of smugness. I occasionally have the urge to say the line.


    Come to the dark side, we have Light.


    make you cry-


    Eh?''


    Kiss what?''


    -Ah, I got my thoughts and speech mixed up… also, I''m a being made purely of prana Rin, pepper spray means nothing to me… You should stop lest the librarian will shout at you.''


    make.


    Ingwaz. Ingwaz. Ingwaz.


    Calm. Composed. Collected.''


    Phewwww." I breathed out a long breath.


    Ingwaz." I whispered my first verbal rune of the fight.


    That''s enough pussy-footing.''


    must rely on me.


    But I must say I''m most proud of that last one.''


    that''s familiar. "The Friendly one of Lights." That one isn''t.


    that would be there.


    The Knight of This-and-That."


    The Knight of This-and-That is still sung to this day. Said to originate from sometime in the late 1700''s. Said to be authored by a group of historians studying Arthurian tapestries and documents in their free time." Huh. "It somehow lasted ''till the modern day."


    really weird to know you are being sung about by children across the world… Weird, but good.


    Big Three, as it were." Oooh, now that sounds proper cool and anime-like. "The Knight of Fae, the Last Knight and the King-Maker."


    Artus the King-Maker that King Arthur and his Knights were cemented as fact not fiction. It was your existence that confirmed King Arthur as a legend not a myth." She lectured.


    Oh…''


    !... oh yeah.''


    ... Oh yeah…''


    I remember them.


    a twitch, "it was fairly certain you did not fight for Mordred." Another twitch. "And It is documented you saved Arthur''s life a multitude of times... It was said your presence at Arthur''s side cemented his rule."


    Now that''s exaggerating a bit.''


    Don''t let Kay here that.''


    Crownless King of Britain. The Last Knight of Arthur who ruled justly in his stead. Bringing the country prosperity and protection as you raised the next generation of Rulers."


    ...''


    That''s one name I didn''t want remembering.''


    Step. Step. Step.


    Step. Step. Step.


    Step. Step. Step.


    Step. Step.


    Rune. Set. Ingwaz.''


    Sowilo!"


    lit up with the Rune, empowered and empowering the light of the sun.


    Make an advantage.''


    No pun intended.''


    fwump" as I finished the flip. Easily landing on my feet in a crouch. I was not one to let up.


    Rune. Set. Algiz.'' My muscles were reinforced, a rune set and ready in waiting.


    Good.''


    Much as she did in life...''


    Yeah… I close my eyes. "The Last-"


    Not now.''


    that out for me."


    Good.''


    me."


    Well, this was just a paper-thin projection though. If I brought out the real one, it''s mere presence and aura would attract too much attention.''


    Short Fang of Artus, as it were." People do like to name things fangs. "After Camlann it was reforged into a spear; the Long Fang of Artus. The weapon of the Last Knight… not that of I." I explain.


    Ugh.''


    I really don''t want to see a female me acting like a slut though…''


    Knight of Fae." I proclaim peacefully, yet my words suffused with power.


    that bad of a habit.
