"Who else knows about this?" Ned asked Myrcella and the girl looked at him with a happy expression

"Everyone that went with grandfather and I" she immediately answered before taking back the drawings and rolling them up again

There was no reason for either of them to be in the same room anymore, so Myrcell simply said her goodies to him and walked away, her guards, however, took a slower step then they normally would have taken and Ned realized that had he been anyone else, they would have killed him.

Once again the sounds of the festival began to return, but they seemed to have grown even more distant than before and so Ned found himself working even harder to hear a single note.

(Klein)

The smell of saltwater lingered as he and his team walked deeper and deeper into the cave, they were careful not to set off any traps, then slowly they all stopped walking, right in front of them was a massive black stone door.

None of them dared to so much as touch it, for there was a chance that if they did then they wouldn't be able to escape, whether that reason was due to some monsters protecting the area suddenly becoming aware of their presence and so act accordingly- a bunch of traps suddenly activating or the main boss behind the door forcing them to stay, didn't matter, the results would be the same, they would all end up dead.

"I've already sent out the location and the alert. Everyone should be here in three days" Dale said to them, before pausing and activating a teleportation crystal, the last thing any of them would see, would be the walls around them begin to move.

The guild of Fuurinkazan, soon found themselves at the entrance of the cave they had just been in, they stood there silently waiting, normally some kind of creature would show up and attack after they had left the are, granted that creature was ideally several creatures but who cared about the details.

None of them said anything, there was no need to, three days, in three days they would fight the floor boss beat it and move on, the wall of overly aggressive monsters that kept people from going up, would be gone and yet for the first time, none of them wanted to leave.

They had met some good people on this floor, hell they had even made some friends, but if there was a chance for them to go back home, they had to see if that chance was real or not, so they had to move on and that meant it was time to stay away from those people, they had met.

They each marked their location on their maps before heading back towards the city, they would resupply everything from potions, weapons, food and water.

As each man walked they briefly stopped as they felt a small spark of electricity flow thru them, however, it was so small that not even the animals around them even care to acknowledge it had happened at all, so the guild simply moved on.

( Arthur/Arturia)

Arturia swung her sword, carefully remembering the battles of the past, remembering every detail, every impact and even the blood that flowed onto her hands. She moved faster than any mortal man, but it wasn't anywhere near her true speed.

In times like these, even her persona guards would leave her alone, less their presence hinder her training.

Then suddenly a small pulse echoed through the realm, her sword instantly reacted to it, forcing the pulses energies away and yet Arturia found herself standing upon a frozen land starting into the distance. There was nothing in this land only a massive wall made of ice that was far into the distance, in front of her was a large tree, that had a face carved into its bark.

To her left stood a boy with short black hair, no it was more like if it was the spirit of a boy that stood at her left. She still held her sword and Arturia beloved that it was only because of its influence that she was even herself at the moment.

The bark of the tree was white, almost as if was made of white paper and from its mouth, eyes and nose, it bled red blood. Arturia was certain it was blood, the smell of iron and milk was present, but what was disturbing of all, was the sensation Arturia felt, it was like if something was calling to her, to thrust her sword into the tree and unleash its power into it.

Arturia desired the urge to do so and she soon found herself standing before an army, but not an army of living, but if the endless dead, yet as she watched the cursed walk, a man walked up to her with spear in hand.

He was made into ice and ice was his armor, his eyes were blue, but a shade that made them look as if they had been made of marble. The man lifted his spear and even if he had never uttered a word, Arturia felt the need to unleash Excaliburs power upon the spear.

Again she resisted and Arturia wanted to scream, upon a hill of swords she stood, holding Mordreds corps be used them, her knights and her most trusted friends laid dead and the state around them doubled with blood, as if something that was once there had sunk beneath the sea.

Arturia suddenly realized that she was back in her throne room gasping for air.

(Character change Asuna)

They had finally returned to their small cottage and it really did feel like home Asuna, prepared herself to organize the people and tell them what to do, only to realize that the men were already doing it and had begun to prepare everything for the work ahead.

Behind her Yui, looked at all the people gathered her bright smile and big black eyes made her seem almost like an angel, unbeknownst to Asuna, however, Yui's help screen had suddenly alerted her that a point had been reached and she would soon have to choose, between leaving Aincrad within the sea or return it to the sky.

Asuna turned to look at a message sent to her from the guild, but it had the stamps of every guild leader, making the thing urgent, but it also had the option of yes and no on it, so she was free to choose whether she participated or not.

An invitation had arrived from the main kingdom, within the mainland and the guilds would send their representatives, unfortunately, the scouts had just found the floor bosses area and so both the scouts and the cleaners would soon be completely occupied with either the defense of the border or killing the monster in that room.

Apparently the only reason she was even given an option at all, was simply because of her daughter and the fact that Kirito, couldn't watch over her, since he would be sent back to the cleaners to sleep guard.

Asuna couldn't believe what she was seeing, they had just returned home and they were already being told to leave, so I thought thinking she pressed No, I'm the help screen and decided to spend what little time she had with her family together, as best as possible.
