[b][i][u]Sword in Stone[/u][/i][/b]
[b]A storm raged throughout the Land, thunder flashing through the sky.
This storm did not feel natural, there was a certain air to it. A dark one
A bolt of lightning struck the main courtyard, leaving a sword stabbed into The ground in front of the cherry blossom tree.
The storm vanished suddenly, and after a few moments a small crowd of guards had gathered around the sword, Royal at head. [/b]
"Behold! The great sword Exaclibur!"
[spoiler]Open! [/spoiler]

Samuel snorted, as he crossed his arms. The man was at a respectable 6'2, he had ashen hair that somewhat mingled with his Stark blue eyes. Said hair was put in a shitty ponytail, a sign he probably didn't care about his looks a lot. Though that conflicted with the fact he had a Van Dyke goatee. "You sir, don't know me. I [b]always[/b] find a way." He stated as he moved past Royal and went to grab the sword. Placing both hands on the hilt. "I used to watch He-Man you know, I can do this." Samuel clutched it tightly and tried to pull it up.
-
[b]Nothing, the sword didn't budge for a moment [/b] "I'm telling you, it doesn't work such as that!"
-
Sam let go. "Fuсk you, the blade is mine. I called dibs and I'm getting dibs dammit!" He merely unsheathed his High-Frequency blade and activated it. "I always have a way." Sam plunged the blade into the stone, it's molecular separating shit slicing into it cleanly, then he cut a small square around the blade itself. Sam pulled the blade out with the stone still attached. "Voilà."
-
"Voila what?" [b]The sword was gone, inserted into a new stone several feet away [/b] "I'm telling you it doesn't work that way."
-
"Worthiness is a matter of opinion and so is Honor. Just a human construct created in minds to fill the morally grey world we live in. Your 'Excalibur' is a mere fake now that I think about it. I was still technically within it's rules, as it WAS in the stone. Well, fuсk it. I'm gonna kill me a religious figure!" He ranted, before creating a tear to another dimension with a device.
-
"Have fun with that you mad man."
-
"No, I'm a fuсking collector. It's what I do. Collect. Stuff." He said, jumping in the tear. Not five minutes later he came out with [i]Excalibur[/i] and a cleanly sliced cube of the stone it was in. "That's the beauty of parallel dimensions. Things are slightly different enough where things can go your own. Also made this sick kirkhammer clone but whatever, I'm out you cheat." Sam left the site. The end.

[spoiler]Another quest for a sword?[/spoiler] [b]Fortis strolls up and looks at the sword.[/b] "Quite fancy."
-
[spoiler]Nah. No quest[/spoiler] [b]Royal turned over to Fortis [/b] "Yeah it is quite the sword isn't it?"
-
"Did someone drop it from a hot air ballon or something? Swords don't tend to fall from high places."
-
"Did you not see the storm?"
-
"Are you saying that the storm dropped it from the sky?"
-
"It implanted it into the ground, yeah. Apparently?"
-
"The dumb weather man got it wrong again! He only said that we would have a bit of rain and lightning, but he never said that it would precipitate swords!"
-
"Funny." [b]Royal looked at him, dead serious [/b]
-
"So, do you know anything about this sword?"
-
"Well of course! Everyone has heard the Legends of King Arthur and the legendary sword, Exaclibur. Have you not?"
-
"I saw Monty Python, does that count? I am just kidding, of course I have. It is just an ordinary medieval sword though."
-
"You belive this to be an ordinary sword?" [b]Royal laughed rather crudely [/b] "Then you are severely mistaken."
-
"Isn't it made of earthy metal, from earthy blacksmiths?"
-
[b]He laughed again [/b] "You do not know anything of these Legends my friend."
-
"Why not enlighten me?"
-
"Very well. The Legends of the sword are many, but my personal favorite is this." "The sword belonged to an angel of heaven, one that battled the forces of the demon." "The Land of Camelot fell into peril and angels viewed it as a lost cause, but this one fought like hell for Humanity." "He thrusted his sword into the ground, cleansing the lands at the cost of his life."
-
"So, it is an angelic sword. I wonder how the pope would respond if he.." "[b][i][u]DEUS VULT![/u][/i][/b]" [b]The pope interrupted[/b] "An angelic relic! I must claim it for the will of God!"
-
"Why would you ruin the world such as this?"
