As she continued down the corridor, Kari tried to ignore the words of the faceless being that followed her. She couldn't back down. She needed to know what was happening. Why had they been left to die in that dungeon. Had the Great Knights all turned traitor, or had it solely been Sir Galahad's doing?
The voice got louder and louder. It wanted her to die. "No!", she screamed, causing the shadow to pause where it had been advancing on her. "I can't die, not yet! I've already come this far, I refuse to let myself fall, at least until I know the truth... so leave me be!"
She lashed out at the shadow, dissipating it as she pushed her way through it. The voices stopped... silence. Clutching her newly found weapon to her chest, she continued on. It wasn't long before she came across another shadowy figure...
Sir Galahad. He looked tired... wrung out, like a discarded rag. He spoke to her.
"Yes, I have come to find the truth. Why have you condemned us to death after claiming you would give us fair trial?" The man only continued to talk, as if not talking to Kari herself. "No... I won't join you in your corruption."
Kari could only stand there as she took in what he'd become. He hardly seemed a threat. She felt... pity.

Galahad - 44/50HP - 10 added defense
Various knights had started attacking Galahad. He didn't seem to register any of their blows, only continuing the sit upon his throne. Then without warning, he rose, a look of horror upon his face as he stared at something Kari couldn't see. The chalice fell from his hand, the contents morphing from liquid to gas as it touched the ground.
Kari gasped as his throne began trying to pull him in. He wasn't himself. Kari could see from the way he wasn't fighting the throne's grip nor was he even noticing what it was doing to him. Help those in need. She knew what she had to do. Reaching a hand out, she tried to wrench him away from the throne. "No, you have much to answer for. I won't let you end yourself like this!" Kari bellowed as she jabbed away at the crystals attempting to snare him with her quarterstaff.
Others had joined in. They were knights that also wanted to save Galahad despite what he'd done. They were successful. The man was pried away from the throne, but gave no signs of recognition or gratitude. The man stood stock still, only moving to pick up the grail and stare off into the distance.
Then some began grabbing for the grail. One knight attacked Sir Galahad.
"What are you doing!", Kari yelled out as she moved to protect Galahad. "Didn't you learn anything from the fight in the Treasure Room? Violence will solve nothing. The enemy wants us to pick each other off!" She wouldn't let past mistakes be repeated. She despised what Sir Galahad had done, but she wouldn't condemn him to death for it. Especially if what he'd done wasn't of his own will.

Leaving the Corridor of Fire, she returned to the intersection to stare at the remaining paths, a green and a dark one. She felt she should pick the dark one, but her feet walked onto the green one. It was calling.
"είστε μια αποτυχία"
Um?
"Δεν αξίζουν να ζήσουν"
Her pace slowed, when she began to hear whispers. It was soft and hollow like an eulogy at first, but as she found nothing behind and resumed walking, they rang again. At first, it was vague and indistinguishable. Yet, gradually it became familiar and recognizable. Shu felt unnerving for the non-exist voices, was it just her illusions or ......? Hoping it would fade soon, she continued to go deeper. It was just hallucination, she told herself as the tone of the whisper got harsher and heavier.
It went to a stage that she had to cover her ears, when they called her name. "Shu." It felt hard to breathe, plus the pang in her heart was more than simply painful. It was reminiscing but she shouldn't know.
She was scared, her bloods went cold and she just wanted to get to a place free of it. Head down, she no longer knew where she was going. Shadows or better say shapes pestered her, they were not complete and wispy. She didn't know them.
In the mid-way, she was finally stopped, her efforts wasted. "Shu." The male voice said, a tear uncontrollably dropped. Shu shook her head, couldn't find the reason for crying or why the figure in front of her made her forget to breathe. There was no corridor, it was just he and she.
"Shu, you were still the poor girl I know," he said with a soft voice, with a tone seemed to know her for so long already, too long maybe. "Long time no see, why you haven't changed any, it wasted my life to save you. You made me lost my head, I couldn't even have my full body." She didn't know what he was saying, but she somehow felt she knew and it hurt. "You can do nothing. You can't stop Morgana to kill the Great Knight. You can't convince the man Morgan was abnormal, you just watched until they fell, in the pool of bloods. You did nothing. You're so horrible, but I still love you."
His voice was sweet as if he was talking to his love one, but the context was cruel. He didn't stop and his words became harsher, like a dagger. "You can save no one, you can't even save myself ultimately. You will die alone. Painfully and regretted you lived." The figure leaned in, whisper slowly near her ears.
"Do you know how you will die? Just like that, watch, don't blink." He pointed to a place. There was a body, dark hair being eaten by a group of beasts. No one came to preserve her body, no one came to save her when she was alive because she was on her own." Her mouth agape in horror, couldn't accept this fate. She joined to fight against Darkness, hoping one day humans would take the world back. She did that for the deceased one, she did i to protect her friends, but she forgot all. Only a sensation of the world had abandoned her left, and a stabbing pain lingered and entangled her soul.
Shu knelt, screeching and grasping the skin above rapid throbbing heart. "Join us, you won't feel the pain anymore. Join us, Shu, kill yourself-" An unexplained feeling reached her and she spat out, "He won't say that. You're not him. GO AWAY!" She yelled at the shadow, watching it paused and dissipated. She stood up and walked again, the end was just several steps more.
A spacious room lit by water, she spotted the man on the throne easily. "Sir Galahad," the man who sent them to prison, wanted them to sacrifice for the great good. She roamed around the room, realized a few groups were already there. She walked closer, but not close enough to draw any of their attentions.
Like the figure said, she just watched.

Hazethe Black knight-apprentice ◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
The light whispering from the darkness still haunted his point to a point. His body and mind were on edge even if his face was completely composed. One moment people were trying to destroy the crystals to save Galahad, and in the next they were clawing at each other babbling on about the obsessions with an object. Looking up away from the woman who moved to protect Galahad his silver gaze would catch a glimpse of it. Of the grail that everyone was obsessing over. A feeling pricked against his skin as he watched countless people try to tear each other apart for such a thing. He shouldn't react on this feeling, he couldn't...
Taking in a breath he tried to calmly come up with a plan to break these knights away from the grail. Flickering his glance to the cup and then to the torches. Maybe. Holding tightly onto his weapon Haze stood up straight, walking forward he kept his sights set on the grail. Getting ready to extend his Naginata out as he would get just close enough. But all did not go as he hoped, just as he attempted to hit the grail away with his weapon he felt another body hit against him. An accidental incident from the frenzy that tripped Haze and sent his own body forward instead. He squeezed his eyes shut to prepare for impact.
Thud.
The male had fallen forward, without so much of a way to catch his balance he had become undoubtedly clumsy. As his eyes started to flutter open he would feel a cool metal against his hands. He had instinctively reached out to try to grab onto anything to hold him up, to keep him from falling on his face. And as he looked down to see what he had grabbed onto his heart would almost stop. A glint of gold was between his fingers. Haze had grabbed onto the grail, using his body weight to fall forward and pry it from anyone's hands it was in. His first thought was to throw it away, but as he extended his hand with the grail in it to toss it away he couldn't help but to stare at. He felt... oddly happy. The white haired knight began to think of an amazing future, of him standing valiant as a Great Knight, with no qualms of being poor, of being burdened. He had everything he could have ever asked for. Love ones were around him, he possessed a magnificent house that could safely shelter him, and was able to buy anything he wanted.
Haze would have never thought he would fall into greed, but the power of the grail was too much. His eyes began to stagger, demeanor completely changing as he quickly snapped the grail close to his body. The young man's once stoic face began intense and scrunched in a greedy anger. He didn't want anyone to touch the grail, it was going to be the key to unlocking his successful future. The black knight would start to try and slide away from the crowed, attempting to go unnoticed, to hide away in one of the far corners of the corridor. The gold glint still shining through his fingers as he pressed the grail up against his chest. His other hand holding desperately onto his weapon "I-its mine" he said. Paying no attention to the comfort of his scarf anymore, his eyes grew cold and crazy. He was going mad.

[ Bradley ]
Screw Galahad. Who cares if he was alive or not. Bradley's Great Knight was already dead, it was inevitable that all the Great Knights would die, so that a new crop could be crowned to rule Camelot. Screw loyality to the current knights, to each other. That only brought death. There needed to be strength in those who ruled. The cup provided that. The grail knew the worthiness of those who touched it.
No one else was worthy, only Bradley.
He vaulted over the throne again and launched himself at a black knight, fingers locking around the grail and yanking it from his possession. "No, its mine." He bared his teeth and was incredibly tempted to start beating his skull in with it. He wasn't worthy of the grail. It was his!

The fighting over the Grail was picking up in intensity and Camilla was wondering even with the four knights defending him if Galahad would really be safe... Besides... He still seemed really out of it and probably needed medical attention "Hey..." She whispers to the other three people defending "Galahad needs help and it's not safe her... Maybe we could sneak him out while everybody fights over the Grail?" she suggests quietly
Slowly so not to draw attention Camilla sheaths her Rapier but keeps her sharp edged Bokken out just in case then silently bends down to put a hand on Galahad's shoulder "Sir... I think we should leave this place..." she says quietly before gently grabbing his arm to try and lead him out

Shayne nodded to Camilla as he agreed that Sir Galahad really needs some help and badly. "I'm probably not a Knight of Sir Galahad. However, I'm still a knight that will protect the people in need." He told the other Knights as he kind of feeling out of place a bit. However, it's more then being a Knight to Shayne now, it's being a McQueen.

Shayne is set to save this Great Knight after he goofed on Gawain and believe he wasn't under some kinds of spell
The pale skinned man was holding intently onto the grail, not wanting to give it up for anyone. But as a taller male approached him he felt his grip weaken. Even with the greed driven attitude of his, something in the back of his mind was preventing him from going all out. Struggling to keep his grip on the cup he watched as Bradley swiftly and efficiently was able to yank it from him. When it came down to it, Haze would be severely outmatched when it came to brute strength. Letting out a almost uncanny wild hiss from his lips his eyes would grow in rage. Haze would reach out his hands and ravagly claw at Bradley as if he was some starving animal trying to get food. His fingers would grasp and pull at the grail, but before he could get it back in his possession he would hear the sound of a young woman's voice behind him.
She was speaking to Galahad. Galahad... he was the source of all this evil. He was the one who had kept the grail hidden until they arrived there. It didn't matter if the Great Knight had offered it to them in turn, he was still the greediest of them all. "I-its all your fault" he spat out. Temporarily relinquishing his attention from the Grail and its holder and haunching up towards the woman and the Great Knight "You k-kept the Grail from us". Gripping tightly onto his Naginata his eyes would turn completely wild with lustful greed. "WHAT E-ELSE A-ARE YOU HIDING F-FROM US". Regardless of Haze's speech impediment the greed that took him over had caused him to strain his vocal muscles. And for the first time maybe in his life, he would be yelling. Suddenly getting in between Camillia and Galahad. The crazy eyed knight would raise up his sword tipped staff. Swiping down and out, trying to break any defense away from the Great Knight. He obviously wasn't in his right mind at all.

Kari looked to where the various knights were fighting over the grail and couldn't deny the girl's words. It was indeed dangerous here. They were behaving like crazed beasts over a fresh kill. Kari could only imagine what would happen if their aggression turned towards Sir Galahad...
"You're both right. Sir Galahad may have done some awful thing to us, but he definitely doesn't look to be of sound mind at the moment", she replied, looking towards Sir Galahad's vacant expression. "It gives me the impression that everything he's done up until now is through the will of another. He doesn't deserve to die for that. No one does. Until we find out what's really going on, we should get him somewhere a bit less treacherous so we can figure out a plan of action." Kari had been frozen with inaction in the Treasure Room... she wouldn't let another Great Knight fall needlessly if she could help it.
With that, Kari attempts to help lead Sir Galahad away from the chaos, one hand on his back to guide him from behind while the other grasps her quarterstaff to defend them in the event someone notices their retreat.

[Galahad | 44/50HP + 17 defense]
No sooner did they start trying to lead Sir Galahad away, another knight screamed and attempted to get in the way. Raising her staff, she attempted to deflect the weapon away from Sir Galahad.
"Get a hold of yourself, can't you see the monster your greed has turned you into?" Kari yelled, brandishing Shinobu in front of her in preparation for another strike. "Sir Galahad is barely with us mentally, yet you honestly think he's hiding something? Even if he does have something to hide, killing him will not answer your questions! You'll only be left with regret when you regain yourself only to realize you've committed murder!"
Turning to the two knight who'd agreed to help Sir Galahad, she gave them a push with a free hand in an effort to get them moving. "Go, we need to get him away from here!"
"STOP IT!" Shayne yelled as he held his bow up and began to aim it at white haired guy. "You're a damn Knight! So stop this maddest" The Redheaded boy fussed a bit as he grabbed an arrow and loaded into his bow. 'You need to protect the people that's in need. No trying to killed them" He added as he pulled the arrow back and let it go.

Camilla nods with a smile towards the staff baring knight "Yes... If he's been manipulated how is it his fault? Were Gawain and Percival's death's justified? They too were being manipulated!" to Camilla the answer was no! It's not fair to punish someone for something they had no control over! She was glad that along with Shayne there were still honourable knights!
Unfortunately she did have long to enjoy the moment as one of the Grail crazed Knights shoves her back away from Galahad and moves to strike him "Eep! Don't! Get ahold of yourself!" she calls before frowning seriously and lunging at him with her shoulder intend on knocking him away unfortunately she was just a mouse of a thing and it didn't do much! Ook that wouldn't work! Seeing her only open was her weapons she makes sure this time to draw her Main Gauche quickly she wiggles ger way back infront of Galahad and stands in her usual pose her right side faced the opponent with her Bokken pointing forward her Main Gauche was held high in her left hand ready to deflect any blows
Shayne's reaction however made her gasp "Wait! Shayne! Don't! He's in no more control of his actions or his sanity then Galahad was! Don't hurt him! Just defend Galahad!" she exclaims they didn't need a bloodbath here! Killing each other would solve nothing!

Haze's eyes would only focus on Galahad, seeing the Great Knight weakened. The only reason he was surviving was because of the others surrounding him. He had to be hiding something. If Galahad had possession of something as great as the Grail there must be other treasures the knight was hoarding. As soon as the young man would attempt to swipe his weapon down he'd feel a resistance from two others. Darting his glance up he'd look at Kari and Camilla. No sense left in his eyes, it would take more effort than that to break him from the curse of the grail. Opening his mouth he'd let out a eerie crazy kind of laugh "Hah, t-trying to d-defend such a person. Y-you must know s-something too. You're in on it a-aren't you? You know w-where his stash is". He completely ignored Kari's effort to tell him about the regret he would feel. All he wanted was more possessions, he wanted to be the Great Knight he saw in his vision, surrounded by wealth.
Even if he seemed direly out numbered Haze would ignore the threats against him. Raising up his weapon again he would try and stab at Galahad once more. And in this moment, he felt a sharp pain against his shoulder stopping his attack before it even had time to initiate. Shayne's arrow had found a weak spot in the man's chain-mail. The ranged weapon piercing against Haze's skin. Gritting his teeth together the white-haired knight would reach up and rip the arrow away from him. Throwing it to the ground "In n-need? In neeeddd? T-the only thing he needs is to g-give me what he is hiding" Haze spat out. The twinge of pain still lingering in his mind "Your a-all fools. Galahad h-has been sitting on his b-bound of riches laughing at us as we suffer." regardless of the truth this is what Haze had convinced himself of. This wasn't even about revenge anymore, it was all about his crippling greed. "Yo-you're all just as guilty. If y-you're defending him, you must know something".Instead of attacking Galahad this round Haze would place both hands on his long bladed staff. Lashing it out towards Shayne in attempts to deal the same amount of pain back. He was going to beat the information of Galahad's riches out of them if he had to. Even if it was all just made up of his own delusion.

Kari gritted her teeth as her words fell on deaf ears. the black knight had been driven mad, and no matter how logical their explanations were, he would only see them as lies.
"The only fool here is you and the others pining after the grail, blindly attacking without knowing what's truly at stake... you'll realize soon enough that our words are the truth", Kari replied solemnly to the black knight, still hoping there was some sanity left within him.
"It seems he's too far gone to listen to reason." Kari told Camilla, even though she hoped her words were wrong, "His greed is controlling him, so the only way we can keep Sir Galahad safe without giving lasting damage to the crazed knight is to subdue him", she continued while keeping her eyes on their attacker and her quarterstaff at the ready. "I hate to say it, but your friend may have the right idea fighting him", she added, looking with a crease in her brow towards Shayne, "If anything, he can at least hold the guy off so he doesn't hurt himself or Sir Galahad."
