NO POV

Rear continued her journey with Sin the Fox as well as Percival and Donny, the three making their way into a forest and breaking to make camp and rest, with the boys getting camp set up Rear stepped off alone to try and relax. Not only had she run from her home, and the disaster happening in it she had already been spotted by Knights of Camelot and been stuck with two weirdos and that annoying fox, the only bright side was finding Percival, one of the Knights of the Apocalypse she was looking for.

If anyone could help her save her family it was them.

Still with some time to herself she started to relax and calm down a bit. She spread her arms out and put one forward before starting to sway and step around in a collected rhythm.

"Hmm, Hmm, Hmm." She sighed a bit spinning gently.

She could feel the grass below her but for a moment it was like the turf grew into a hard ballroom floor, the tiles clicking as she shadow danced with an invisible partner.

"La-HMM~" she dipped back gently and lifted one of her long legs, her natural sense of balance taking over.

"Cool what'cha doing?" Percival suddenly appeared.

"WAH!" Rear stumbled and fell back on her butt "Jeez you scared the crap out of me! What are you even doing here?"

"Hunting, I'm trying to outhunt Donny." He said "So what were you doing?"

"I…was dancing." She admitted "It's called a Waltz, it's the kind of dance important people do at royal balls, it's a proper lady's dance. I used to do dances like this more when I was young but I still remember the moves. It's all about elegance and grace, something you clearly don't understand."

Percival looked on confused.

"Exactly." She sighed picking up her bags "Come on let's get back to camp."

"I can't I gotta hunt more, I can't lose to Donny." He ran off.

"Just be careful okay." Rear sighed more "I'm not here to be a babysitter."

Rear's POV

I arrived back to camp and rested my feet while the boys competed or did whatever it was they were up to, I really don't understand men's need for competition. I moved my cloak back and adjusted my gauntlet a bit to make sure it was in working order.

"What's taking those idiots so long?" I looked up when I saw how low the sun was getting.

I sniffed around a bit; I was no tracking dog like my dad but I had a way of picking up some scents. I followed the smells to a house centered in a gorge deeper in the forest.

"HMPH!" I suddenly jumped back when a tree attacked "Well now that wasn't what I expected."

It seemed like the forest plants were rising up to attack.

"Alright." I pulled out a javelin like weapon "I'll show you."

I pulled my arm back before hurling the weapon forward and spiking it through a few of the trees and taking them out. I walked deeper into the forest and found Donny and Sin talking with Percival and a young giant girl.

"You could at least tell me when you're busy." I walked over "Instead of totally abandoning me!"

Apparently, they had met some other guy named Nasiens and were trying to help him save the forest with some sort of magic poison he was making.

"You should have just said something." I sighed as they restored the forest without much more trouble, or if there was trouble it was taken care of before I arrived.

We decided to take a few and just relax here rather than trek back to camp. When we were sitting there though there were some strange sounds coming from deeper in the gorge and from one of the cracks a giant monster crawled out, it was like a face with limbs.

"Disgusting." I shivered "It's full of corruption. Stay away from it!"

Before I could even react Nasiens went charging in as the beast spewed out poison breath.

"I said stay back!"

I quickly shifted forms and used my teleportation to switch him with a fallen tree to avoid death.

"That monster isn't what you think, it's a trick." I warned him "I'm getting annoyed by these distractions."

"Hmm?" A strange fairy creature floated in the sky.

"So it's you." I hummed pulling out my javelin "GRAAA!"

I sent the weapon flying at the little guy but he flashed around it.

"Missed me."

"Gravitas!" I whistled as the spear turned in the air and flew back to stab them.

"H-How?!"

"The Pseudo-Sacred Treasure Gravitas." I caught the weapon "I can control it's movements remotely and with this gauntlet it's partner the super shooter Grandeur I can throw it incredible distances."

I threw it again and then switched places with it in the air "And since it's the same weight as me I can change places with it using Trick Star. It's the ultimate device for movement and misdirection. Now your little dummy is gone so-HMPH!"

I called the javelin back and threw it again.

"Stop hiding!" I said as a knight in amber armor appeared "Who are you?"

"I am Talisker the Amber Knight." He said.

"Did Arthur send you here, why have you turned that man into a monster of Chaos?"

"That's none of your business mixed-breed filth-UGH!" Gravitas ran through him, shattering the chest plate on his armor.

"You were taking too long." I caught the weapon as it flew back over to me and I picked it back up with Grandeur.

Talisker fell over limp as I glared down.

"Clearly without the Inner Roundtable's supervision the Knights of Camelot truly have run amok and fallen into his darkness." I sneered "Give me your Staff now and begone."

I shattered it, breaking the spell on Nasiens' grandfather and turned away "If you manage to live and get back to Camelot you can deliver another message for me."

I walked away "Tell Arthur I'm not giving up my mission."

With our work in the gorge and the Knights of Camelot surely alerted to our presence I told Donny and Percival we had to leave, Nasiens asked to tag along and frankly it wasn't my problem, my goal was to get to Liones and find the remaining Knights of the Apocalypse so I could save everyone, nothing was going to stand in my way or stop me.
