"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?"
-
"This world is already in ruins! The only world that matters is the KINGDOM OF GOD! Now I shall be taking the sword." [b]The pope walks towards the sword.[/b]
-
[b]Royal sighed as he watched the imminent failure. [/b]
-
[b]The pope starts tugging on the sword, his frail arms look as if they are about to snap in half.[/b]
-
[b]Royal walked over, pulling the old man off the sword [/b]
-
"What are you doing?!"
-
"I'm saving you the trouble!"
-
"Well hurry up! I have a very busy schedule."
-
[b]Royal dropped the Pope some feet away [/b] "There, you're done."
-
"If I can't pick up the sword, then who can?"
-
"Someone worthy of it."
