It was as though Mordred heard his pleas...or smells...when something clicked beneath the table. He stopped sniffing and leapt up, pushing past anyone in his way in his attempts to scramble under it as quickly as he could.
"My Prince! My Prince I'm comiiing," he called, pawing furiously at the box. When that seemed ineffective, he flopped onto his back and tried to push it with his feet instead, hoping maybe he could just lay on it until Mordred wanted to come out.

"..."
Shun looked for the source of the thud, peeking under the table to see what it was. A large box had dropped down from the table, though he couldn't tell what its purpose was. The thing looked pretty ornate...
He furrowed his brow, then looked to the others in the room.
"Strange... I suggest we not open it yet... but perhaps we can at least get it out into the open."
That said, he began to push the box.

Wow, this was clearly a good sign. Sighing, he shoved a hand through his hair. They needed an adult or the closest equivalent. Opening a strange box without a knight present was just a great idea - and Horace knew the consequences of such ideas. They were all going to die, maybe. Horace turned and sprinted off to find a Great Knight. He knew vaguely where two of them should be.

At the enormous thud, Johan jumped back from the table. Having just arrived, he'd had no inkling there was something beneath it. He peered beneath it at the strange box.
His first thoughts weren't 'treasure chest', when he saw the length and decoration. His first thoughts were:
"A coffin?" he whispered, a terrible suspicion entered his mind.
He began pushing the box, a need to confirm or disprove his fears driving all thoughts of consequence from his mind.

It was a simple solution for Mildred - the feeling of something being wrong was that there were so many people in here who were not astronomers. This was where she belonged, not them.
In her efforts to maintain this sense of belonging, she used their diverted attention to subtly reach to try to take any book relating to astronomy.
This would definitely help.
Her, at least.

Hollandaise yawn and took a rather smushed muffin out of her pouch. It wasn't chocolate, but corn, and he bit into it with a happy sigh, scattering a fine shower of crumbs about her. She continued climbing, wriggling her toes about pleasedly.

With a lot of effort, the box was pushed out from under the table, revealing its full glory. It wasn't necessarily a box as it was most definitely a casket, long enough to easily fight one knight inside it.
The lid however, was sealed, with a strangely shaped lock, that similar to a crown.
Anyone who touched the casket would immediately be flung into a vision.
In it, they were walking down a strange prison confine. At the far, far end of the confine was a door. It lead down, deep down into a second set of prisons. It was there that the casket was waiting for them.
Immediately, someone grabbed them from behind, and pushed them in. They struggled, and screamed, and tried to fight back but it was too late. Long claws clutched at their neck and pushed them down into it, as a voice whispered next to them.
"Goodbye, my son."
The casket closed, and the reflection they saw staring back at them was none other than the Violet Knight, Mordred.
OOC
This concludes the end of the "search" puzzle for the tower! Feel free to stay and interact/ talk with each other, and anyone can touch the casket as they wish. Of course, there is also other prps/orps to play around with in the meanwhile!

Shun blinked several times as he came out of the vision. When he came back around, he realized that they had managed to push the box from under the table. His eyes widened briefly as he stared down at the details of the casket, then stepped back.
"...Mordred is dead," he uttered before looking at the others who had helped push.
"Did any of you see that?"
The final words from the vision were concerning as well, as far as the implications went.

This as becoming too much to handle, Damien watched on while the few who touched the box came back to themselves, one of whom was quickly putting distance between it and themselves and spouting the unthinkable. "Does thou speak the truth, what did you see?" It was inconceivable.
Was it really possible that from the seven great knights only 3 remained?

At the terrible, unbearable sight at what was contained within the casket, Thackery burst into tears, his sobs louder than ever before as they echoed throughout the room. For the first few moments, the blubbering contained incoherent sentences about 'Mordred' and 'his Prince', but they descended into nothing but wails and tears soon after.
He tried every key he wore on him, but even if one had been made for this lock, his shaking hands could not have made it work. Knowing that he had now failed him twice, burdened with the weight that this was the ultimate failure, he simply stopped trying.
At least he could stay with him. If he was incapable of anything else, and his absence had allowed this to happen, he would be present now.
He crawled onto the casket and curled up on top of it, his small body shuddering with sobs.

"I had a vision. The Great Knight Mordred was shoved into a casket... likely this very box. The final words spoken to him were 'Goodbye, my son.'" Shun replied. He lightly tapped the side of the casket with his foot.
"How long he was in there... I know not. I would not keep my hopes high, however, especially with this damn thing sealed."

Damien listened on intently, patting the shoulder of the poor knight who was taking it the hardest and lying right on top of the box. "Depends if we can take a look at how its sealed, there's a chance that he could be saved, albeit, its slim." the spearknight mused a slim chance to get it open, even slimmer that whatever was inside was able to be saved, or even on their side. "The incantation that was read claimed it had a connection to this, that it was a prophecy and its true meaning will be revealed, I wonder how the two are connected?"
