[ Victory! ...Or is it!? ]
Camilla and Buyou were still pretty excited about their good hit! They had been in perfect sync and while it wasn't the strongest shot around it had made a difference! And that's what was important! After calming down a bit the pare feeling like they didn't want to get in the way of stronger knights decided to stand back and cheer! Even Buyou despite Camilla being the only one to hear her would cheer! "Go go go! Hit him hard!" < Yes! You can do it! > The pare cheer until finally the battle meets it's end!
They gasp as Merlin staggers as he pushes through the Knights trying to get away! They were ready to jump into action to end him once and for all when he fled! The Coward fled! < Ah! Camilla! He is getting away through those doors! We must follow him! > "Yeah! Let's go!" She shouts before she and Buyou rush through the Door they saw Merlin go through! It might not have been smart to chase a wounded enemy so thoughtlessly but Camilla if nobody else would not let Justice slip away or let Merlin's evil roam free!

[ The Chase and The End? ]
When the pare exit through the door they find themselves on a topical island! It was hot, sticky, and had a very dense grove of trees! In the distance a brilliant stronghold stood tall at the base of a mountain and that seemed like the likely place he'd go! Only... He didn't... Instead he rushed off to a small narrow cave off the beaten path! "Hey! Get back here!" Camilla shouts < Your end is naugh Evil sorcerer! You will pay for all you did! > Buyou shouts despite Camilla only hearing it! However it did spur her on and she quickly enters the cave after him!
Unfortunately the moment she enters the cave she is forced to slow to a walk... "H-huh?" she squeaks helplessly as she found she could only move slowly! < Camilla why have we slowed!? He will get away! > Buyou asks impatiently "S-sorry Buyou! Something is keeping me from running some power!" she exclaims apologetically! < ... > Buyou goes silent as she realizes she just snapped at Camilla when it wasn't her fault < Sorry... > "It's ok... I'm eager to get to him too!" her voice geld frustration as she continued to move slowly down the cave < ... > Buyou still was impressed by Camilla's ease to forgive...
Finally as they neared the end both Knight and Weapon could feel a power growing stronger and stronger until finally they reached a large cavern and could move normally again! "Merlin!" she exclaims as she see's the wounded sorcerer corrupting crystals! They were take aback by his statement however and frown in confusion "What is he..." She mutters slowly < I... I don't have any idea myself... > Other knights join them and soon a woman in white did as well! Wasn't she from the lake? Camilla didn't have time to think on this as the woman utters a word of such power neither Camilla nor Buyou could understand her...
Suddenly they would feel it! A power! Reaching, tugging, pulling, on everything that made them them! "A-ahh! W-what's going on!? She exclaims and wraps her hands around her shoulders! It seemed only Camilla truely felt it that it only affected her! < Camilla!? Are you alright!? What's happening!? > The Bokken asks worriedly "I-I don't-" she didn't get to finish as Merlin reacted violently to rune's and a power which began to swirl around him! Other knights seemed to be affected and the power just seemed to grow and grow!
Finally the crystals would shatter and Merlin would scream with the power of a thousand dark voices in rage! "A-ah!" < Ahh! > they'd both yelp out and cover her ears! Soon the scream was too much for Camilla and her ear drums would burst causing blood to trickle out! But just as sudden as the screaming would start it would end with Merlin being trapped in a simple humble staff of wood! Slowly Camilla would uncover her ears wensing as she does before looking to the staff... "Is... it over?" She asks finally

[ Chaos, Containment, The Death of The Great King, And the trip Home... ]
At first for a few seconds things would seem fine... However! Chaos would erupt as Merlin was not through! A maw of shadows would burst from the staff and crash into the cave causing it to crumble around them! All would flee outside as the cave would collapse! But Merlin wasn't done! It was as if the world they found themselves in was ending! Blackness filled the sky as the trees, mountain, even stronghold for eaten until it was nothing but blackness all around! "W-wha!?" Was all Camilla could say! Suddenly like a shining beacon the Great King would slash at tendrils which formed from the shadows to grab at him! He seemed to be holding his own but soon was overwhelmed and Camilla was too far away to even do anything! "NO!" < NO! > Both Camilla and Buyou would shout as shadowy claws would spring forth from the staff to grab The Great King and snap him in half like a twig!
Tears would well up as she'd watch the King just get tossed aside like he were nothing! But she'd have no time to cry as the claws would spit into thousands of other claws which would rain down to the ground below in the form of screaming deadly arrows made of shadows! "Eek!" she yelps while ducking for cover! Suddenly however it all would simply end in seconds! The shadows would disipate and soon all would be silent... The Containment was completed... But not before the death of the Great King...
Sadly she'd watch as the lady in white would go over to his torn figure... "No..." she whispers sadly as tears fall... The woman in white slowly closes his eyes before suddenly crystalline water of great purity would begin to form and pool around them... Soon it would spread and spread washing away Merlin's darkness and righting the world once more! A castle of pure white perched upon a gently rolling hill would soon appear and for the first time sense the illusion surrounding Camelot broke Camilla would see blue sky!
Soon the water would pool around only the Woman and the fallen King... She would look at the sword as if it were speaking to her before nodding and placing it onto of him... Suddenly the sword, the King, and Merlin's prison would become covered in crystal as a cave much like the one before would form... Camilla heard no voice from the sword bidding her stay and so she turns to focus on the door the woman would create... This... Wasn't their world... And Camilla could honestly say she did not belong here... Slowly she would nod before heading through the door...

[ Rebirth and Goodbyes... ]
Upon stepping out Camilla would instantly raise her hand to her eyes! "W-whoa! Bright! What is- Oh! It's the Sun! And Blue Sky! Buyou We're back! Everything is saved! We're- !... Buyou...?" Elation filled her until suddenly she realized she'd not heard from Buyou for a while... No it wasn't just that... Their connection! Their bond! It was... Gone!
A mixture of confusion and distraught would pain Camilla's face as she'd reach down to grab the Bokken! Suddenly instead of feeling life filled wood she'd feel nothing but cold stone on her belt! "Buyou!?" She exclaims in distress before pulling the tablet forwards to look at it as tears fill her eyes! "Oh Buyou! I barely got to know you! I-" She chokes up and grips the Tablet close to her! It felt as if a dear friend had just been lost to her! Tears would fall unbidden dripping down onto the Tablet... And soon she'd fall to her knees and cry for a while like that until she ran out of tears and was simply sniffling with the occasional hiccup every now and then... "Buyou..." she says miserably before closing her eyes and just sitting there...
Finally as she calms down she'd soon feel it... Buyou wasn't gone! She was just sleeping inside the tablet... Slowly Camilla opens her tear filled eyes before smiling weakly and looking at the tablet... "Buyou... I didn't have long to know you... But... I'm glad I had the brief time I did... I know we would have been good friends... However... I'm so glad you got your richly deserved justice and that I was apart of it! And now... I hope you have a wonderful peaceful sleep... Goodbye... Buyou Rouzu..." She says with both sadness and happiness...
For a long moment she'd stay where she was letting the last tears fall until finally she'd reach up with one hand to wipe them away while the other clutched the tablet firmly... She had said her goodbyes even if Buyou couldn't hear them... Now she needed to keep going... Mourning Buyou wouldn't help anything... And deep down... She knew Buyou wouldn't have wanted that...
Eventually she would get to her feet with shaky knees before looking around... There was so much green... So much beauty and life now... She wished Buyou could have seen it... Though... She wasn't sure a Shadowling would care for such beauty anyway! The thought made her smile and laugh tearily before finally the ruined remains if Camelot would catch her eye...
Camelot... It was surrounded by water pure and beautiful... Slowly she'd move towards it with both arms wrapped tightly around the Tablet...

[ Memories and New Beginnings! ]
The lake which now surrounded Camelot... It was beautiful! But it was more then just that... As she'd look into it she'd suddenly see the reflections of those she knew to be gone! It would be then that they would return! Her memories! All of them!
Suddenly she was down on her knee's crying again! Crying because of the pain, crying because of the joy, crying because she had these memories back and she was whole again! The reflections would look at her worriedly but eventually she could stop... Finally with tablet clutched to her as if it were a life line she could stand... stand to face things!
Her family now gone would be the first she'd speak with... She would tell them of her Grand Adventure! Of her successes and failures... Of all the things she'd seen and heard and felt... She'd tell them how much she missed them... how it hurt that they were gone... But finally she'd thank them... For making the sacrifice they did... For giving her a chance to see all this to do all this... And most importantly for giving her the chance to make a difference! She knew they were just memories... But it felt right to tell them all this!
Finally she would speak to the Great Knight's she'd failed... To Percival, Gawain, Galahad, and most of all Lancelot... She'd apologize and pray they forgave her... Then wish that they would be at peace... Soon the Great King would appear as well... His majesty his valor... She'd tear up once more as she'd done with each knight she had faced She'd apologize for failing to save him... for his untimely death before praying he be at peace knowing they had saved the world... They had done it...
Finally after many hours Camilla would turn away from the lake... She'd turn towards the survivors... towards the future! Slowly she'd dry her tears and then with Buyou's Tablet clutched firmly in her arm's she'd step forwards into her next story! She didn't have time to waste! She had to find Shayne after all and they along with all the other remaining knights had to begin to rebuild! Not just for them but for all those who gave their lives to make this all possible!
