It was the sounds of wails and sobs echoing down the stairwell of the tower that drew Na'ima's attention. She climbed up and up until she found the group gathered around..a casket? Her brow raised as she approached it and those surrounding it. Ah, yes. There it was, the source of the crying.
"He's going to exhaust himself that way.." She tilted her head, curiously watching him. "Who..?" Who was he mourning so..passionately?

"I- I saw it, too." Johan chimed in, voice muffled as he gripped his chin in his hand, trying to reassure himself that what he'd seen was a vision, and this was reality. He looked back to the Thackery-covered casket. As weird as reality could be. "If the vision shows truth, Mordred is within."
He would not say that Mordred being sealed away was better than what Johan had suspected earlier. The the Great King himself was in there.
"I have no inkling as to how this would connect to what was spoken. Maybe it was meant for the Great King and Mordred was caught instead?"
He knelt down to take a closer look at the crown on the seal. He wasn't about to touch the thing again.

"I do not know. At first glance, they do not seem to be connected. Two separate entities... And yet..."
Shun sighed and shook his head, thinking back to the words of the prophecy that TK had read out loud. Looking to Johan, he shook his head once more.
"Possibly, but the final message left for him is most peculiar," he started, "I do not suppose any of you know who Mordred's parents are?"

"His parents? Well..." Na'ima tapped her cheek, frowning. "I have heard he is--was..? Brother to Morgan? So I would imagine they shared a parentage."

Johan shook his head. He didn't know. He also didn't know what to do about the Knight on top of the casket who mourned Mordred so keenly. Remembering his vows, Johan dug about in his cloak until he pulled a (relatively) clean square of linen free. He pressed the handkerchief into Thackery's hands, and awkwardly patted him on the back.
He turned back to Shun.
"Where Mordred was. Was that inside Camelot? It looked like a prison of some sort. Perhaps we could check there? For anything that might explain this further?" he suggested.

The knight wrapped in her blue cloak approached the others from behind having lingered to the side mostly during all of the events transpiring in the tower. She got there roughly when Merlin had left passing him on the way up to the tower.
"That would be a valid question if any of us could remember further back then when we got here."
She turned to Johan next, "Possibly, but do you think we can find it? Look how many places we've been lead to so far we would have never found without a guide in the first place."

He furrowed his brow and folded his arms over his chest.
"I do not know... the Great Knights probably know that. They should probably be... informed of this as well," Shun started, before giving pause at Na'ima's words.
"...Morgan became the Queen of the Sidhe... or.. Something. His body was pulled into the mirror before she stepped out, appearing very much like him."

"I think that would be wise." Johan agreed to the suggestion that they inform the Great Knights. "They would be much more likely to know where to go, and be able to lead us there. We don't even know to whom this room belongs. Or, at least, I don't."
He turned to the others.
"What led you here in the first place?" he asked.

Na'ima gave a slight shrug. "He may have become her, but that doesn't make the information any less valid, does it? There had been a Morgan at some point, unless she had been living as him for his entire existence. So you would want the true Morgan." She gestured to the casket, looking curious. "Is Mordred in there, then?" Her brow furrowed. "That is...unsettling, if that is the case." Were they down four Great Knights? They were dropping like flies.

"It is possible that the vision we saw is false. But... going off of that, yes. That is what it implies," he told Na'ima. Shun looked towards the entrance of the room.
"Merlin was seen leaving this place not long before we entered..."
Pausing, he looked to Johan again and tilted his head.
"Here as in this room or..."

"The other good question to ask is when did this take place? I saw Merlin as well on my way up but didn't think anything of it. For all we know Mordred was just placed in there, or we never met the real one at all."
Sammy glanced to Johan shrugging, "Followed the noise of everyone else wandering this way. Lord knows enough of us came up here to make a bit of noise for someone to follow."

A hand waved in Thackery's direction. "I was drawn here by his wailing. I got curious. I suppose I can see how the possible death of his leader might bring him to this state." Golden amber eyes settled on Thackery, quietly judging him for his sobbing until she turned to Johan and Shun again.
"Merlin? Delightful. I do wish I could have come across him on his way out, there is much I'd love to learn from him." She didn't sound bothered by the implication Shun was making of Merlin leaving the tower before they found the casket.

Mildred's response seemed to take Szczeosny by surprise. His posture became sharp, and his hands formed claws against his sleeves. It was his voice that betrayed his uncertainty. "If he was sidhe- then there would be no other choice -"
As if to distract himself, he leaned against the casket everyone was pawing.
--- !
When the vision faded, he stumbled back and landed on the ground. It was too much. This was raising more questions than it answered. The great knights were disappearing and dying off one by one, and when none were left, what would happen to the knights who served them?
For a giant, Jack had an uncanny way of managing not to be in the way for the most part of the search. He stood back and waited, watching, listening, reading words and prophecies. The books here fascinated him, though he knew better than to attempt to take any with him; God knew he didn't need an extra curse on top of what they had all been landed in.
The vision in particular was unsettling, though he wasn't sure what to make of it. Was Mordred also a traitor? Morgan may have been a disguise after all, and if Mordred had been aware of it, then perhaps...And was Merlin involved somehow? What did they know about the Great Knights after all, other than their pledge-legacies?
Long claws clutched at their neck--
Jack frowned but said nothing, only continued to listen to the others and contemplate.

Piper was scared even before she heard the prophecy spoken aloud; that just made her nerves worse. She immediately regretted touching the casket and recoiled back as if it were made of fire.
While the others debated the meaning of Mordred's death, someone had curled up on the casket and begun to sob. Stranger he might be, but even a coward like herself couldn't help but feel some sympathy; the guy must've been a big fan or something.
"Uh...There there?" she tried to console the knight, patting his back lightly.
