Chapter 21: Returning Heroes
"Welcome back to Chaldea." Olga spoke as the group walked out of their coffins "I am satisfied with how this mission turned out." she nodded her head "Now, please follow me for debrei-"
Astolfo blew a raspberry and cut her off "I'm going for a nap." then skipped past her. Siegward nodded his head and coughed a few times.
"As am I." He eventually spoke, then bowed slightly to Olga "If you will excuse me, Lady Sorceress." he walked past the white haired woman, leaving her stuttering at the rather abrupt exits.
"You guys got alcohol here?" Cu asked with an inquisitive expression as he looked Romani up and down.
"Um…" The man blinked then sent Olga a confused look before turning back to the Lancer "Y-yeah...we have a bar on the third level…"
"Thank fuck…" Cu let out a breath and turned to Ash and clapped him once on the shoulder "Lets go...I'm gonna show you how the Celts celebrated a victory. Assassin! You're coming too!"
"I see." Sasaki nodded once "In truth, I am also curious about this 'Chaldea." he murmered to himself and followed the Lancer servant.
Ash shrugged and followed after the Irish Lancer "Wh-what about the report!?" Olga shouted after them "We have to detail our mission!"
"Why?" Ash turned to her "Seems simple enough. We arrived, killed dragons and other warriors, then left." with that he turned around and followed Cu out of the room and down the corridor.
"Don't worry Director." Mash gave the woman a reassuring smile "Me and Senpai will help you with the report." she turned to her master "Right, Senpai?"
"Hm?" A yawning Ritsuka looked over at her "Right...yes…" he slowly blinked his eyes "Sorry...just a little tired."
"Probably the Rayshift." Roman explained "It takes a lot out of you if you aren't used to it." he turned to Olga "Director, I would suggest we place the debriefing on hold until Fujimaru is at his best."
Olga grit her teeth then turned away, red faced "Fine! We'll do this tomorrow! Romani start searching for the next singularity and you!" she spun around and pointed at Ritsuka "You'll be summoning more Servants tomorrow as well. We need more hands on if we are to get Chaldea back in working order."
"R-right." Ritsuka nodded.
"So...you can't taste any of this?" Cu asked the servant as Ash downed another beer.
"I cannot." He admitted, Sasaki sat just near them with a small cup of sake which he occasionally sipped from "Although…" he frowned and looked down "If we were to speak of Alcohol...I believe Siegward has a recipe for the drink that even the undead could taste. It was...pleasant."
"Oh?" Cu raised an eyebrow and have an intrigued look "What was it?"
"Siegbräu he called it." Ash replied with a nostalgic smile "I suspect if he were not being treated for his injuries, he would be more than willing to brew some for us."
"Huh…" Cu nodded his head "That'll be something to look forward to." he drank his pint of beer then looked down at it with a frown "What the hell is this stuff anyway?" he turned to the barkeeper, one of the few humans left on Chaldea by the name of Francis "What is this stuff?"
"Lager" Francis replied, at Cu's deadpan expression he clarified "Its called Fosters."
"Tastes like piss." Cu grumbled "You got any Irish booze?"
"We have Guinness?" Francis shrugged, Cu turned back around and squinted slightly.
"I have no idea what the hell that even is…" He turned back to Francis "Fine just get me a pint of that stuff."
"Sure, sure…"
"I'm telling you guys…" Cu grumbled to the other two servants "Booze back in my day was so much simpler, it basically knocked you on your ass for the whole day and stamped on your head when you woke up."
"Sounds pleasant." Sasaki replied with a raised eyebrow, Cu chuckled at him.
"Eh, how else are you gonna distract people from how shit everything was?" He shrugged "Still...nothing like raiding a tavern after a battle to calm the nerves." he looked at Ash "What about you? What'd you do after killing Gods and monsters and shit like that?"
"Normally?" Ash asked and drank from the glass in front of him "Return to Firelink Shrine...use the souls I had collected and allow the Firekeeper to strengthen me...or turn them into weapons."
"...Weapons?" Cu scrunched up his face "Like what...you turned a guys soul into a hatched or something?"
"Oh yes." Ash nodded "If I still had my bottomless box on me, I would show you...I amassed quite the collection of trinkets."
"What happened to your box?"
"I…" Ash raised his hand then frowned "I do not know…I believe I lost it somewhere...A shame…"
"A pity indeed." Sasaki sighed "Perhaps I could have found a replacement sword…"
"Oh yes…" Ash turned to him "You used one of those Eastern blades, did you not?"
"I did." Sasaki nodded "A Nodachi...you have heard of them?"
"I wielded a few once." Ash replied "One I used prior to the Onyx blade was the Frayed Blade...a Katana transposed from the Soul of Midir…"
"...Who?" Cu asked with a raised eyebrow and took a sip of his beer as Francis placed it in front of him and wandered off.
"The Archdragon which lived in the Ringed City." Ash replied, which caused Sasaki to widen his eyes and Cu to choke on his drink.
"W-what?" Cu asked inbetween coughing bursts "You made a sword...out of a Dragon?"
"It was a good sword." Ash replied.
"Better have been…" Cu shook his head "Damn...now I'm kind of sad I'll never see it…"
"As am I…" Ash frowned, then looked at Sasaki "How will you fight with no weapon you are familiar with?"
"For the moment...I do not know." Sasaki shrugged "It was a mundane blade...it can be replaced."
"Perhaps we may yet find a solution…" Ash shrugged his shoulders "I am familiar with a few blacksmiths of legend in my word. Surely you have your own?"
"A couple." Cu scratched his chin "Probably...but I wouldn't bet money on summoning any of them...We could do with some women around here though…"
"...Why?" Ash titled his head in confusion, Cu and Sasaki stared at him with slightly raised eyebrows before looking at eacother. Cu seemingly came to a realisation.
"Oh right…" He muttered "Your a zombie or somethin...Probably doesn't even work anymore…"
"I do not follow." Ash spoke as he looked between the two in confusion, which only seemed to grow when Cu looked at him with a pained expression and pat him on the shoulder.
"You have my sympathies pal…" Cu spoke in an apologetic tone, leaving Ash confused.
"So how did it go with the briefing?" Astolfo asked as he sat himself down next to the other servants during breakfast. The only exceptions to the eating were Siegward and Ash, the former having been able to make Estus stew for them.
"If you were going to fall asleep right at the start, why did you show up?" Ash asked with a slight frown as he sipped his stew, the pink haired boy pouted at him and huffed.
"Hey...It wasn't just me…" He muttered under his breath, sending a small smirk Siegwards way. The onion knight merely coughed and looked away guiltily.
"Yeah...she hates your guts right now." Cu chuckled "At least pinky here wasn't snoring the whole time." the table chuckled at his expense before Cu pointed something out "Speaking of, you're looking a lot better than yesterday. How come?"
"Ah, I was merely low on magical energy." Siegward leapt at the change in topic "Once I had my reserves back at full power I was simply able to heal myself with Miracles."
"Cool." Astolfo nodded his head "Sounds useful."
"Indeed." Siegward nodded, Cu then crossed his arms as he finished his breakfast.
"Speaking of cool…" The Lancer smirked "Ash tells me you got some drink that even Undead guys like you can taste."
"Hm?" Siegward stilted his head, then widened his eyes and broke into a grin "Ah yes! Siegbräu! A fine drink! I would be happy to make some for you all."
"Nice." Cu nodded his head "We'll save that for later." he sniffed and looked around before blinking "Where's the Kid anyway? I though him and his girl would have been here by now."
"Ah." Siegward spoke up "The Lady Sorceress and Madam Vinci took them away for summoning more servants."
"Ah right." Cu nodded "We're getting more people in here." he shook his head "Hopefully we'll get some...women...in…" he furrowed his brows as he stared at the opposite side of the cafeteria and blinked a few times "What the…"
"Hm?" Ash looked around and saw the other servant staring off in the same direction "What is wrong?" he then looked and immediately scrunched his face up in confusion at the sight.
"This is great, Master!" The blonde haired girl with emerald eyes, wearing a simple tunic with spoke with a giddy expression as she entered the cafeteria…
Upon the back of a horse sized wolf.
"He's so fluffy!" She squealed and continued to rub the back of the ears of the animal, which seemed to please it with how its tail was wagging.
"You said she was a knight, my Liege?" Another voice called out, the group turned away from the bizarre sight to see a man clad in silver around with a metal helm with the carving of a face in it with a crown of thorns looked on "She acts much like a squire…" he shook his head and looked to the group "These are out comrades?"
"Yep." Ritsuka replied as he walked out in front of them "Hey guys! Meet the backup!"
"Master…" Ash pointed behind him "That is a greatwolf."
"Yes." Ritsuka nodded "I was a little surprised at first too...Never really heard of Wolves being heroes...You got any idea?"
"There were tales of Artorias having a Greatwolf companion..." Ash shrugged and looked at Siegward "Although the name is something I cannot recall right now...Can you remember."
"At the moment...I'm afraid not...I'm sure it will come to us eventually." The onion knight shrugged "And the girl?"
"Ah!" Ritsuka grinned "That is Sir Gareth of the Knights of the Round Table...She's a Lancer...who like jousting...And dogs."
"Who's a good boy?"
"Woof!"
Cu was still staring at the wolf before he eventually spoke "I feel as though this is some big joke at my expense…" he muttered and looked over at the knight "Who's this guy?"
"I am Ser Verndari." The knight replied "Sworn to King Vendrick and holder of the Title of the 'Looking Glass Knight' I am the Servant, Shielder."
"Mash was pretty happy." Ritsuka spoke up "She's pleased to have another Shielder Servant to help her."
"I have agreed to train her." Verndari spoke in a firm tone "Although we will need to wait for her arm to be commissioned."
"Commissioned?" Ash titled his head in confusion.
"Yeah." Ritsuka nodded "We also got a Caster, an Archer and kind of a Saber…"
"Kind of?"
"You look like you've been on a run around." The burly man with the long white beard spoke as he walked across the make shift forge towards the Saber servant "Should have known you'd be here."
"You look well, Andre." Ash replied with a smile, then looked behind the Servant to the anvil and metal "Making yourself busy already?"
"Steel needs forgin." Andre shrugged and went back to his anvil "I need to keep busy, not much good in a fight. So I help how I can."
"Making a sword for Mash?"
"May as well call her 'Potato'" Andre grumbled and shook his head "Sendin the girl out with nothin but a shield...honestly...buncha idiots."
"How familiar are you with Eastern swords?" Sasaki stepped forwards and asked, Andre turned to him and sniffed.
"I've seen 'em before." He nodded his head "Made a few of 'em...what do you call 'em 'Kitana's' or somethin like that...why?"
"I am in need of a new sword." Sasaki admitted "My old one was broken."
"I suspect you'll be wantin one of 'em Kitana's then?"
"Katana." Sasaki corrected "And no...It would be a Nodachi."
"...No idea what that word means." Andre grumbled and looked at Ash.
"It was similar to a laundry pole sword." Sasaki turned to Ash with a raised eyebrow and an amused expression on his face.
"Oh, those ones." Andre nodded "I'm makin a straight sword for the lil girl...I'll see what I can do about your blade…" he turned around "You seen Sif about? Big dog was barkin and all that."
"Sif?"
"The wolf." Andre clarified "Surprised to see it. It was only a pup when Ser Artorias brought it around...little bastard the mutt was...always shittin everywhere…"
"Milady Gareth-" Siegward called up to her, the girl turned to him and frown.
"I'm not a lady. I'm a knight. You can call me Sir Gareth." She grinned "Or just Gareth!"
"I see." Siegward nodded "Gareth than, for how long do you intend to ride the wolf?"
"He's soft." Gareth muttered and huffed the wolf "And he has a big sword! He's the perfect jousting ride!"
"Let the little lady have her fun." An amused voice brought Siegwards attention away from the girl and towards a tanned man in green armour "Well met. I'm Arash." he held out a hand, Siegward held out his own and shook it.
"Siegward of Catarina." He smiled "You are the Archer?"
"Oh?" Arash smiled "How do you know I'm not a Caster?"
"She's standing behind you." Siegward pointed out with an amused expression, Arash quickly copied it.
"Hello." The young woman wearing dark robes, a black pointy hat spoke up "I'm Beatrice...I'm a Caster...Nice to meet you...never met a Catarinan before…"
"In that case, I hope to represent my people well." Siegward gave a jovial laugh "Although I am curious where you were?"
"Ah...The um...Sorceress Olga Marie...She wanted to ask some questions about Sorcery from Lordran." Beatrice replied, then flushed with embarrassment "Unfortunately...I can't really tell her that much...I wasn't taught in Vinheim."
"I see…" Siegward nodded his head "Regardless, you are welcome here Lady Beatrice."
"O-oh…" Beatrice stuttered and waved her hands in front of her "You don't have to call me 'Lady Beatrice'...my friends call me Betty...although I don't think I've ever had any friends…" she muttered the last part of the sentence under her breath while Siegward and Arash shared a frowning expression.
"That won't do." Arash shook his head "You'll be fighting with us, best get to know everyone here." he flashed her a grin "Right, Betty?"
"R-right!" Beatrice rapidly nodded her head while sporting a wide grin, then looked around "Where is...everyone else though?"
"I believe Ash has gone down to speak with the new Saber." Siegward replied "Astolfo is…" he looked around then chuckled "He is off with the Lady Gareth and the wolf…" the pair looked over to see the pink haired Rider and the blonde lancer frantically rubbing the large wolf's ears and belly while the beast panted and wagged its tail "And Sir Chulainn is…" he frowned "He appears to have...departed…"
"Cu Chulainn?" Arash blinked, then looked at the wolf before chuckling "Ah..I see why he might have fled...Lets just say that his legend involves dogs."
"...I see." Siegward nodded "Still...Welcome. We were just having breakfast when you arrived." he grinned "I would be most pleased for you all to join us?"
"Sure." Arash agreed "Always important to start the day with a good meal...What happened to the big silver guy?"
"...Hmm?" Beatrice blinked and looked around "How...how did he...?"
"This is your shield?" Verndari looked on Mash's cross shaped shield with a tilted head "Impressive. To wield a Greatshield of this size...It will suit you well."
"Yes." Mash nodded with a small smile "I can fight with it...but…"
"Swinging a shield around like a club is not something I would have advised." Verndari shook his head "While I was his Squire, I attempted a similar feet with Ser Raime...He told me if I attempted that again, he would take away my shield and beat me with it." he let out a small chuckle at the girls shocked expression "Ser Raime was tough but fair. Simple man, swords are for fighting and shields are for defence. Naught more."
"I...I don't really have a sword…" Mash looked down, Verndari nodded his head and crossed his arms.
"Yes...We are fortunate to have a blacksmith on hand however and while I am not a master of the blade...I shall instruct you as best as I can." He pat her on the shoulder "I was the knight who all potential knights would fight if they wished to serve King Vendrick."
"So...You were like a trainer then?"
"No. I was more a reference of skill." He corrected her "If they defeated me, then they would be accepted. If they lost, then they would die."
"D-die!?" Mash recoiled in surprise, Verndari tilted his head at her.
"Is that so surprising? They were attempting to be a personal knight of King Vendricks court. If they could not defeat me, then they would have failed when it most mattered to the King."
"O-oh…" Mash frowned "I...I guess that makes sense but...it seems so...wasteful to kill them...W-what if they could have gotten better?"
"It was not a secret." Verndari waved her off "All in King Vendrick's army knew my role. Few who were not skilled enough braved me. It was better that they die at my hands, than at the hands of an Assassin meant to kill the King."
"Oh…" Mash slumped, Verndari sighed.
"I have no intention of killing you, for one I believe our Liege would be disappointed in your death." The made Mash smile slightly "However, I have no intention of allowing you near the front lines until you are capable of swinging a sword will the skill of a reasonably trained Squire." he loomed over her "It would not do for you to fail at a critical moment and for our Liege to lose his life."
"R-right." Mash nodded and put on a determined face "I won't let you down!"
Verndari raised an eyebrow behind his helm and shook his head "It is not me you would fail if you were to fall." he looked around "Our first order of business is finding a training hall. You will learn first how to swing before we start using swords. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Mash nodded "We have a training hall set up on the second level."
"Good." Verndari nodded "Lead the way, Squire Kyrielight."
"S-squire?" The girl blinked in confusion, Verndari tilted his head.
"You are training to be a knight of our Liege? You are to be my squire as of this moment." He gestured ahead of them "Lead the way."
"Okay." Mash nodded and walked on, the six foot knight following after her.
Roman Empire 60 A.D.
"Tell me…" The creature churned as its limply held up its puppet body to address the servant "What news of the...Romans?"
"They have united against you." The Caster in green robes replied "My pets reveal to me that they have acquired Servants of their own...However...they march against our forces only during the day."
"...Oh?"
"The Sun Knight…" The Caster replied "He appears to only posses his strength under the sun...If he were to be ambushed under the darkness."
"This is most intriguing news…" The mass churned "The memories of the Emperors serve me well...A meal with an...intriguing after taste...How many of your pets are available?"
"Several thousand." He replied "With many more ready to be birthed…"
"Excellent…" The creature slithered along the ground "Rome remains out of our reach...The Sun knight and the child guard it well...She consolidates her forces...but cannot march them out...The forests are my domain…" his body cracked "And...The isle to the south?"
"All attempts to reach it by sea have failed." The Caster frowned "It appears as though something is guarding the island from us…"
"Have we any idea what?"
"I would suggest a Giant...The ships we sent were destroyed by what could best be described as Large spears shaped like arrows…"
"Hmm…" The creature frowned "For the moment...The island remains out of our reach...Although...the Giant is protecting something there…" he flicked his head over to the Caster "Have your pets revealed anything?"
"None of the villagers I captured have spoken of it as of yet...It appears they are as ignorant as we are for the time being…"
"...Unfortunate…" The creature slithered away "Our campaign through the Gaul territory?"
The caster smiled "My Dear Freja does well...Her children have swarmed through the region and decimated many of the tribes. The Gauls have been forced to fall back into the Roman territories...We have a great many prisoners…"
"You are mistaken…" The creature leaned down and smiled "We have a great many meals...and soldiers…How many in total?"
"Almost twenty thousand villagers." He replied, the creature gave a pleased rumble.
"Take the woman and children...the young humans shall provide sustenance and the woman shall make for excellent carriers for the eggs."
"They shall, My Lord." The caster smiled, the creature nodded its puppet head.
"Kill the elderly and send the able bodied men to me...We are in need of more soldiers...And I shall provide."
"Of course, My lord." He then frowned "There is more...troublesome news…"
"Oh?"
"The Rider...The Chaos abomination…" Caster cringed as the creature made a churning noise "She was spotted heading East...She goes to Rome…"
"...Would they not kill her on site?"
"No...My Lord...My spies report that she encountered the Sun Knight at the border during a scouting mission...They have granted her asylum."
"Hmm…" the creature growled "This is...most troublesome...Berserker...Send him out...We shall intercept them before they are too far gone."
"I shall make the orders." Caster nodded "And...Shall he be provided with an entourage?"
"He shall...Give him two hundred of your fastest Spiders...And I shall grant them four of my own personal beasts…"
"Is that necessary, My Lord?" Caster frowned "We only have a dozen of them at the moment...If we were to lose them…"
"She is a Chaos witch." The creature cut him off "I shall take no chances...We shall make ready to summon another Servant...If they can be controlled...all the better...if not? I am quickly appreciating these skills the Emperors possessed."
"Of course, My lord." Caster nodded "It is as you wish…"
"Worry not...My dear Duke…" The creature chuckled "I shall prevail…"

Dialogue 4 (If you have Ser Raime)
"...Ser Raime is here is he? He trained me from a Squire...His betrayal and Exile...were not...easy to accept. Perhaps he was right...but it was not his place to accuse the King.

Dialogue 5 (If you have Velsdat)
"The Royal Aegis. You would not have expected a Cleric to be one of the strongest warriors in Drangelic...It was partly due to his might that Miracles were tolerated.

Dialogue 6 (If you have Elizabeth Bathory)

Dialogue 10 (If you have Duke Tseldora)
"The Duke of Brightstone cove. It was a great mystery how the Mining town came to be overrun by abominations. The Court was in uproar for many months...Now that I have met the man...I wish I had never learned the answer to the mystery."
Dialogue 11 (If you have Knights of the Round Table)
"To be in the company of such powerful Knights. Their King must have been quite capable to command such figures."
Dialogue 12 (If you have Gwyn's Four Knights)

Likes
"Training...I...also enjoy the Rain sometimes..."
Hates

"Your continued commands are honourable, My Liege. Serving you brings great joy to my heart."
Blond Level 3

Bond Level 4
"It was not to be...Ser Raime had entered the Court and in full view of the entire gathering, he denounced Nashandra as a witch and spawn of the Abyss...King Vendrick...took exception to this...He asked if any would support this claim...I...held my tongue...That was when Velsdat accused Ser Raime of treason...and called for a Trial by Combat...he won...and Ser Raime was banished..."
Bond Level 5
"It haunts me...even now...I had many suspicions about Nashandra myself...But I could not do it...He was my King...if I stood before him and supported Ser Raime's claims...It is my greatest folly...Ser Raime was right...and the Kingdom fell to ruin...I...often wondered if it would have been better to speak up...I...can only hope I do not fail you when it matters most, My Liege."
