Act I: The Seal
Chapter II: Marble House
Part I: From Off To On
Blaze/Percival's POV
I was awoken by a thud to my leg. I jolted awake, which shook Galahad awake also. We both looked at each other until I felt a thud again. We turned our heads and looked up to see the menacing figure of Lancelot standing over us. He glared at us angrily, his usual expression. Galahad exhaled, knowing well we were most likely in trouble. "Greetings Lancelot..." I breathed. "Come on. Get up. You are lucky you did not get caught last night." He said harshly. "How did you know where we were?" Galahad asked. Lancelot scowled, "I was here with you on patrol. You said how you would want too relax here on your down time, and maybe come out here at night, which is only allowed on free nights. By the way, it was not a free night. Let's go." Lancelot spat.
We both calmly got to our feet. Lancelot got on his horse Maria and Galahad and I dawned Ibilis. "Are we in trouble?" I asked, shakingly. "I am not sure yet. We will find out when we are back. I imagine you are not safe from some sort of punishment, however," he replied. I sighed and continued onward. "We are heading to Xanadu to converse with Merlin tomorrow, please be prepared to go." Lancelot replied. I sighed again.
Lancelot always treated Galahad and I like children. We were the weakest emotionally on the team, and I suppose that's why. He doesn't dislike any of us, but because we are more vulnerable emotionally, he feels the need to be overprotective or to be over us a lot. It gets annoying after a while, but we still stick to him. Him and Sonic are the leaders after all.
We arrived at the castle. Sometimes I don't register how massive the castle is. It's elegance and beauty all hoisted by its behemoth size makes it quite the place. We pulled through the stables and greeted the horsekeeper. As we piled into the meeting room, we were met with the rest of the round table.
"Good mornin', lovebugs," Bedivere said, greeting us. "Good morning." I said, still a bit shaken from being found. Sonic walked into the room, partially armored and holding Excalibur tightly. He wore an expression of disappointment, yet relaxation. "Well, it's good to see you both alive and well, especially after the stunt you pulled," Sonic stated. Galahad and I both hung our heads a bit low, fearing whatever punishment was to arrive. "We apologize for what occurred sir." Galahad replied. Sonic smirked slightly, "I am aware, and I thank you for your apology. I truly do. But it is my job to be strict on my knights. I am not upset, I am slightly disappointed with what you did of course. As my job however, you do have some repurcussions." He stated. We both nodded slightly. "Hopefully very strict ones. A lesson should be taught here," Lancelot spat. Sonic smiled, "Lancelot, have I not taught you anything? Be careful with how you inflict your punishments." He said. Lancelot grunted a bit, but did not reply. "I believe restrictions on freedom should be enough. For the next two weeks, every free night, you will spend in here. Is that a fine enough punishment?" Sonic said. We both grinned, this was not that bad actually. A punishment we could both actually stand, and agree with. "Yes sir, definitely, and it will not happen again." I said. Sonic grinned, "Good, I am glad. I do not want to be too hard on an issue as miniscule as this," he said. Lancelot shot up, looking alarmed as he called the issue minuscule.
"Miniscule? Sonic, all due respect, they could of put their lives and other things in danger." Lancelot spat. Sonic looked unamused, "Lancelot, you fail to see the truth here. They were in no danger, you are too bent out of shape on this one," Sonic stated. Lancelot glared before turning away to his seat. We followed suit and sat down at the round table. "As you all know, tomorrow we leave for Xanadu to converse with Merlin. He has news for us we need to discuss. Galahad and Percival, although punished, you will need to be present." We both nodded at this. "It may not be a great day tomorrow, Merlin has war news for us,"
"A war to end all wars, as he says,".
