Golden Age: Revival

Titania<My husband was mortally wounded when Mordred invaded the isle centuries ago. To rejuvinate his strength, he spread himself through the land itself. He would be back to normal by now, were it not for time being frozen on Avalon until recently. His throne is simply where his power is strongest. As for Arthur, he sought to borrow some old scrying tools. I did not ask why.>
==================================
R"The boat might require heavy lifting. We want Euryale."

Allina: <Wuss. Well, fine, but I'm not going alone.>

"Must be awkward using the bathroom then," Noct said. "Anyway, thank you for letting me know. If you don't have any business with me, I'll return to wandering about."

Titania<Of course. But first....>

*She snaps her fingers. All entrances to the throne room turn to solid walls.*
=====================================
N"Sounds like a personal problem. Come on, you two."

"He wasn't exactly comfortable to sit on anyway," Noct said with a shrug as she walked away down the hall.

Allina: <What? I...uhh... I mean... yeah, o-okay.>

*She chokes out her words before somewhat mechanically turning around and walking off.*

[Okay. Whatever. Let's find food, Allina.]

*Walking down the hall, she hears banging on the wall. At one point, the wall a hand even reaches out, deforming the stone like it's fabric, before retracting & disappearing.*
======================================
*Allina finds an open market, wherein some guy has his TV on.*

{...tense situation in Asia today, as Russia's request for the extradition of former Presidential Candidate Igor Koshkey was denied by the Japanese government. Koshkey is wanted for suspicions that his campaign was part of a coup d'etat, to instill himself as dictator. Aside from that, border disputes with China continue to flare as....}

Noct is weirded the fuck out, but tries to keep walking like nothing is wrong.

Allina: <Koshkey...?>

[The world's going to hell and we're backpacking through Africa.]

*She heads to a stall near the TV so that she can listen to anything else being told and reads off of her phone before trying to speak to the owner.*

[90 different languages in Ethiopia alone, but English is widely spoken... Let's hope.]

Allina: <Hello, I'm sorry, do you speak English?>

*She eventually makes it to a series of 3 branching hallways. One has a room with a light on near the far end.*
=========================================
<That depends. Are you going to buy a fish?>

She walks towards the light.

Allina: <Uhh... do you take Australian dollars or British pounds?>

[Is Ethiopia part of the Commonwealth...?]

*She looks down at her phone for a few more seconds.*

[Yep.]

*In the room, Arthur is staring in a pool of water. Reflected in the water is not Arthur, but the group who fought Nobunaga, walking through a desert.*
========================================
<I take Birr.>

Noct knocked on the door frame, "Hello, Arthur. What are you doing?"

Allina: <Right. Anywhere I can convert dollars or pounds to birr around here?>

<A bank.>
=================================
*He turns around.*

Arthur<I thought I would set out to cross the world and locate the remainder of my surviving Knights. I am affirming their locations before I make my journey.>

Noct nodded, "How many are left?"

Allina: <No. I mean, where is it!?>

Arthur<Not many. Could it be possible that Ywain is the only one who is still alive?>
========================================
<Somewhere over there, I don't know.>

*Pointing.*

Allina: <Very helpful... well, all right. Thanks.>

*Allina heads over in the direction he pointed.*

Noct frowned, "I feel responsible for Gallahad's death. If it wasn't for me he would be here, helping you much better than I could ever hope to..."

Arthur<If it weren't for you, Mordred would already have the Chains of Prometheus, Gallahad would be dead anyway, and I would have been forced to fight Selecus while protecting Gilgamesh alone. A battle I am not sure I could have won, especially if Mordred joined in.>
======================================
*Roatha & Nero are already at the bank.*

Noct ran a hand through her hair, "Thank you for that, but... I'm still unconvinced. Still, you've found at least a knight of the round table, someone with experience. Ywain is sure to be helpful, what with his lion and all."

Arthur<I'm afraid he didn't bring it with him to Avalon, so it perished long ago.>

Noct raised an eyebrow, "I half expected that part to be untrue actually."
