The Ark Of Avalon, Sheath Of King Arthur

"Hey now! Don't be putting words into my mouth when I don't mean them! I'm saying that Bedivere's fighting style is more reserved than most of us. He can't take on too much damage, so he defends against strikes and blows. Also, Bedivere can't clash for too long."

"The Knight of Loyalty can fight, but he needs to wait for the opening thread. I feel that his fighting style is best suited against Rina's combat abilities as a Spearman. Too bad Percival wasn't the chosen one to be revived, or else that would be the Flower Mage's best target," explained Mordred.

"So, do you want to propose a change with the setup?" asked Mavislin, shifting the profiles around.

"If it's alright with the Spearman... And the Slayer should be alright with Gawain since you said the kid's got a knack with Water Spells."

"Alright then, we will do the swap. Rina, you will fight against Bedivere, and I will take on Galahad. I think I know the perfect use against that Knight of the Shield... So we will head there and part ways at the heart of Albion," said the Valkyrie.

"That settles things then. I know the agreement allowed the Pillars to help the Founders with their targets. However, with the situation changing, I will put off everyone's targets until the Knights of the Round Table have been fully abolished, except the Stormbringer."

"The rest of the targets are moving slowly with their advancement under the guise of the dolls not to get captured by our forces on the ground. However, it would seem that the Knights are getting ready for an all-out war by starting a riot in Albion's center square."

"Everyone has to succeed in their tasks by the fifth day, which includes defeating the Black Knight herself. So try not to do too much damage, but if you must, head to the oceans to do battle," described the Headmaster.

After a few more Tocks briefing the members on the sea and air defense plans, the group was dismissed, but Mavislin was the last to leave the room.

"What is it, Mavislin?" asked the Headmaster.

"Do we get a device to capture the Knights like what you gave to Baldwin?" quizzed the Valkyrie.

"Ah, yes! I've forgotten to mention... But it's only against the Black Knight..."

Gillian passed for a while as he contemplated giving the device to Mavislin. The Valkyrie looked confused as to why the Headmaster was not moving. The Aki placed both palms on the sheath and murmured a few words of a chant.

"Bring forth the sheath of the legends. The pair that connects with Excalibur, Sword Of Promised Victory. Let thine hands be not tainted to wield thy protection... Heal all wounds and grudges..." said the Headmaster as a golden and blue-striped scabbard appeared from the table.

Mavislin looked at the sheath with wide eyes and backed away when the Headmaster grabbed it and passed it to her.

"That's such a huge thing to bring along to a fight?! What kind of sheath is that huge for such a thin sword?!" yelled Mavislin, looking at the item with fear and awe.

"It's the famed sheath of Excalibur, Avalon. I thought you would know about this..."

"Yes, of course, I know! But, I also know it shouldn't be here, in front of me! That thing was lost and buried beneath the soil for centuries. And this thing can't be fully recreated unless you've dug it out through gravedigging. So either that's a fake, or you've got some weird connections."

"I'm not a grave robber! I got this from researching the location of King Arthur's grave from a place called Mount Etna. I headed there during my spare time before all these issues occurred and found the sheath lying near the entrance."

"I wanted to return it into its proper position, but the tombs looked like it was about to cave in. So it did, and I ran out with the sheath..."

Mavislin narrowed her eyes at the Headmaster while he recalled the story.

"That sounds suspicious... Are you sure that was what happened in the cave? Because from what I recall, I did not bury the King and Queen's bodies in a cave... Neither would I bury them on top of it because Mount Etna is a volcano..." asked the Valkyrie, catching Gillian's lie.

The Headmaster seemed shocked before clearing his throat.

"Fine; you got me... Promise not to tell Ysabeau because she thinks that I truly got it from the gravesite when in reality, I've got no clue where it is. I found the relic through a shady Mage who loved gravedigging and spent excessive Coins to get that famed scabbard."

"The device acts the same; use it on the Black Knight to capture her Elemental Core, but there's another power."
