I feel the heat of the sun burning my skin, but it's not the sun of Portugal… it's another sun... Distant, cruel, casting shadows over men falling around me... Every step I take sinks into sand soaked with blood and dust. I hear their screams — my men, young, confident — and yet, their courage cannot save me from what I know is coming...
The sword in my hands feels as heavy as destiny itself... Every reflection on the metal brings me the faces of those I lost, those I trusted, those who believed in me... I was meant to save them. I was meant to be the king God promised I would be. I was meant to be the Desired King everyone wanted... But all I see are failures; all I feel is guilt.
The wind brings voices from the past, voices I thought were forgotten. They call me savior, they call me king… but all I hear is the fall, the silence after the screams, the echo of my own failure... I try to run, I try to fight, but the ground disappears, and every step takes me deeper into a sea of memories that suffocates me...
I see the sea before me, the waves tinged with blood and shattered hope… and I realize I never left this North African desert... That I never left there at all... Everything I lived, everything I imagined I could be... was lost that day....

(Back to the present)
Assassin (provoking)
— "Vamos, Saber- Show me your moves, or o el aclamado rey tiene miedo?"
They both circle around, but Saber knows Assassin is bluffing, even though it's very tempting. Saber knows he can't fall for her bluff. But in a sudden moment- Assassin attacked first almost wield the tip of the sword at Saber's chest, but he managed to defend himself.
Assassin
— "Hoh~ Good reflexes, but I want to see how long this beautiful face of yours can hold out."
Saber
— "Tch-"
Assassin continues to provoke Saber, as if testing his patience. She really knows how to piss someone off.
Rogue Archer (getting annoyed)
— "Tsk- Saber stop it! You are gonna make-"
Saber (shout outs)
— "Shut up! I know what I am doing-!"
CLANG! CLANG!
Saber immediately attacks Assassin without a second thought, but she easily defends herself. Assassin doesn't seem to even take this seriously, given how calm she is and how irritating her smile is.
Assassin
— "Olééé~ What confidence and anger. Show me, king, I want to see if you're worth all this. Or you are actually a fraud~."
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Now they are both taking this seriously.
Now the real battle started. Both knights will fight to the death.
All I can do is just watch is this two maniacs trying to kill each other while I hold myself on Archer.
Archer also doesn't know what to do with this.
But the worst part is that I don't know what to do.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Assassin (with a grin)
— "Hmph---"
Saber
— "Grrrr---!"
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! ... SCHIWNG- GAKIN!
Both swordsmen continue to fight non-stop
The king dressed as a knight continues to give his best against the woman dressed in black.
But what bothers me most is that the woman in black continues to fight nonchalantly. Her fighting stance is that of a fencing swordsman, even when Saber is going all out, Assassin doesn't change her style.
She's fighting like this is normal for her, even between this thick fog.
Saber (struggling)
— "Grrrr-! How you are so strong for an Assassin?!"
Assassin
— "Heh~ And why should I say? Or have you forgotten how we become strong as Servants?
Saber (realizes)
— "YOU-?!"
But Assassin, in a very quick movement, uses her cape to disappear from Saber's sight.
And in the next second, so quickly, she's already behind him.
Then slowly she reach behind his ear while touching his face.
Assassin (whispering on a seductive tone)
— "What's wrong, rey? Are you getting turned on by me because I'm too good for you? Ah, niño travieso~"
Saber (blushing like a tomato)
— "GH-!"
Gabriela (mad as hell but jealous)
— "HEY BITCH, TAKE THAT DIRTY HANDS FROM HIM!"
Assassin steps back quickly still with that annoying smile.
How can this old bitch do such things to me in the middle of battle?! HOW DARE SHE!?
Saber quickly pulls himself together quickly but that definitely messed with him. I still wonder how that woman can have such power on her words... BUT I HATE HER!
Assassin
— "I didn't know Masters and Servants could date. This is new~"
Gabriela
— "IM NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND, DUMBASS!!"
Assassin
— "Hoh~ So jealous, your nose will grow if you keep lying."
Rogue Archer (murmuring)
— "This looks like a middle school..."
Saber
— "YOU BASTARD!!!"
Saber attacks Assassin immediately.
But Assassin is calm and just raises her sword while having her other hand on her hip as if nothing, while parrying Saber's attacks.
Who in really blue hell is this woman?!
How can she fight like that while fencing against Saber who is going all out?! AND ON THIS FOG???
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! ... SCHIWING- GAKIN!
SCHIWING CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! GAKIN!
Both swordsmen continue to brawl non-stop, but Assassin has the uper-hand.
I dont know what to do!! WHAT I SHOULD?!
Panic starts taking over me
Gabriela (panicking)
— "Archer, what we are gonna do?!"
Rogue Archer
— "I dont know! What we shoul-"
Archer stops mid-sentence when looks at the sky in shock.
I look at the same direction and... Why are there huge fish flying in the sky and coming towards us?! AND ARE THEY PIRANHAS?!
HOW CAN PIRANHAS FLY?!
Assassin (suprised)
— "Well, thats... weird? Good luck, retoños"
Gabriela
— "WHA-?! HEY COME HERE?!"
Assassin (jumping to her horse)
— "¡Vamos, Tornardo!"
Assassin departes immediately with her while Saber, Archer and I stay there while the piranhas are coming to our direction.
Bitch coward, how dare she to not even help us!
Rogue Archer
— "Master, get behind me. This is going get serious."
Saber
— "Tsk- Damn it! She will pay for this!"
I get behind of Archer. She pulls her rifle already ready to shot.
This is getting more scarier than ever! This is surely was mistake coming out tonight!
Rogue Archer
— "Heh~ Finally is my time to shine!"
