”G-Good EVEening… GO- at your service. Pl-Please, coming. Great -hello . Requiring assistance….” ”What the?” Kenzo had learned that the magic concentration in Fiore made for some bizarre personalities, but this was just too much. A rune knight, 2 meters tall talked to himself in short bursts of nonsense. Furthermore, the full body red armor was scratched as the man bumped repeatedly with a wall, amidst yet another round of incoherent mumbling. Intrigued, Kenzo walked closer to it. The red guy was unphased by the mercenary’s presence, limiting himself to once again crash with a wall, fall back a couple of steps, mutter an incomprehensible sentence, twitch and repeat again. ”This guy is definitely tripping. Must have taken something real strong.” With a chuckle, Kenzo thought to himself that the guy must be really ballsy to do it in the middle of his guarding duty. Perhaps pushed by this sentiment of intrigue, the man approached the red knight. ”You okay pal?”
Hearing his words, the armored knight stopped in its tracks and eerily turned its head with difficulties. It looked like a rusty door knob being turned as the old metal screeched and got stuck along the way. ”Lady … Merlin. Lady – Merlin… lady—mer..lin.” A monotonous, lifeless voice came out of the armor. Paying closer attention, Kenzo noticed that he was no human. Rather, a special type of construct. He had heard from locals about a manmade being that protected the streets day and night. It seemed that Kenzo had coincidentally found it malfunctioning. ”Is Merlin the great sorceress? Advisor to the King? Silence filled the air for a moment. The question was rather a thought out loud, he didn’t expect the armor to ans- ”Y-Yes ….” A smile painted Kenzo’s lips as he heard the homunculus answer.
