Okay, thisis a story I'm co-writing with williamshakespare-immortalbard, for the SINF characters Will and Palamedes as friends. It'll also involve Francis and Marethyu, as such, it contains spoilers for the Enchantress.
"I'm sorry, Josh, but I am not telling you my secret of Immortality. It is not that I distrust you, but you of all people would understand the importance of keeping certain things for ourselves" The small man known as William Shakespeare said. " The only person I've ever told was Palamedes, but the Saracen Knight needed years to be bestowed upon this information."
"But Will..." Marethyu tried to speak aloud
"I am sorry, Josh, but knowledge is power, and I pretend to keep myself in power over my own life. Otherwise I would've searched for an Elder to Immortalize me..."
But the two men were interrupted by the Saracen Knight
"I'm not so sure it's a secret, Will"
"Don't be stupid, Palamedes. I have not told anyone."
"Well, you know I've told Francis..."
"Anything particularly interesting news?" Said Joan of Arc
"Not really my dear" Said Saint-Germain, trying to sound boring or uninterested
"You know you cannot lie to me, Francis!" Joan caught up on the lie easily
"Palamedes told me about Shakespeare and..."
"Joan, talk about something... There's got to be something interesting in there" Scatty said
"Nothing important..."
"You know you can trust me."
"Oh, well. A few decades ago my husband told me that Shakespeare..."
"Have you actually trained Shakespeare?" Scathach asked
"He was a young boy back then, and chose to side with Dee" Flamel said bitterly, while his wife turned to listen to the coversation
"Oh, people say he's brilliant, Nicholas" Said the Warrior Maid "Do you know how he became immortal?"
"YOU DID WHAT?! PALLY!" The Bard yelled "Well, I guess there's no purpose in keeping a secret that's not so secret anymore. I used Name Magic, that is, I tied my aura to my name. As such, as long as someone knows who I am, I live. I made sure to make friends with Immortals, but in the end I didn't even need it. The humani love my plays even now that centuries have passed. And yes, Knight, you will pay for that"
Marethyu smiled at the scene and teleportedhimself somewhen else.
