[ As the video clicks on, there's a sword. A very unique sword. Decorated and exquisite, it is not any sword, but Caliburn: Golden Sword of the Victorious.

This is the sword that Saber pulled from the stone under Merlin's guidance at the age of fourteen. This is the sword that says "Whosoe'er pulleth out this sword of this stone is rightwise king born of England" in Fairy Letters. This is the sword that made Saber immortal and unable to be harmed. This is the sword that broke in Saber's hands in the one battle she bent the rules of morality. This is the sword that Saber treasured the most.

This is the sword that Saber, the King of Knights, currently is. A gentle humming begins as the sword glows slightly, hovering above the floor in an upright position. Saber's Link device is laying on the edge of her bed and facing the sword. With the sword humming its holy tune, text appears across the bottom of the feed. The device is translating somehow. ]

How disappointing. I was hoping to become Cybertronian if I were to also be affected. So I may learn more about you all, however..

I appear to have become Caliburn. [ The sword vibrates a bit oddly with a brighter golden glow; a sigh, perhaps? ] I, luckily, transformed in my room. I wanted to let anyone concerned know where I was in case I was needed. ..I'll be unable to help should my presence be required, but I am here to answer calls. Thank you.

[ Have no idea who this is? If you have spoken to Saber before, then her name is on your device or you will recognize her device's serial number. If not, well.. ]

Comments

you have no idea how much these types of threads help me unstress. thank YOU. ♥

[pendragon]

I regret not being a better king, is all. [ The sword pauses her humming before continuing. ] Caliburn was certainly not human made. So no one is sure where the sword is forged, but it had always been linked to England and with such a certain destiny and importance.

I'm glad I can help. I love them too, no need to thank me ♥ /hugs

[Blurr smiles sadly at that and nods, not saying anything else. He understands the sentiment even if he was never in charge of a whole country.]

It really does sound like something special. Must be why the lambda thought it fit you. For how many years you ruled? You look young for a human no offense.

[pendragon]

[ The sword glows a bit gently, something of a soft, but saddened smile. ] When I pulled Caliburn, I stopped aging as that was one of the properties the sword held. So, I will always look as I did at the age of fourteen. I ruled for ten years..

[ The sword leans forward a bit, as if slightly saddened. She's not exactly sad, but it's a bittersweet memory for her now. Saber doesn't mind talking about it, though. It's over with, and she no longer wished to change it once she learned what the Holy Grail, the wish granter, was truly like. ]

[raceme]

That must has been really hard for you. [Is probably still a hard thing to deal with, he imagines. Blurr leans closer as well, wishing he could do something to make her feel better.]

I'm sure your people loved you.

i'd like to wrap up this thread soon, if possible.

[pendragon]

[ Saber pauses as that. No, she was pretty sure, her people did not love her at the time. At least not her knights and her soldiers. They were the ones who had ended her reign, after all. The people though..

That topic is still a bit too sore. ] I have been told they did. [ The sword stops humming, but.. she realizes she's being curt for no reason. ] I.. apologize, Blurr. That is still a.. painful topic for me. [ Hopping up, the sword lays on its side on the pillow on the bed, on top of him. ]

Of course, no problem.

[raceme]

[Being in charge is always complicated, there's always peoepl unhappy, that's true.]

No no, it's fine. Sorry I that I asked so much. I should leave you rest? It's a bit late now. Or you want me to stay here for a bit making you company?

[pendragon]

Blurr, it's.. late. I am unsure how you got here so quickly, but you should consider staying in the Hub for the night. Do you not have a room here? [ Perhaps someone dropped him off? That would make sense. ] I insist you stay, this time. [ Blurr was the one that had her stay the previous time, had he not? ]

You can always use my bed, too. It.. is not as if I'll be in it. [ The sword hums with a higher-pitch, the equivalent to being amused or maybe even chuckling slightly. ]

((Wow, and I just realized my typoing in the last post. Not only did my font get carried away with me (first time!), but it should be [ Hopping up, the sword lays on its side on the pillow on the bed, beside him. ] My bad if I confused you. Hah. I was thinking the pillow was in his lap at first, but it's not. ))

[raceme]

Hm..you have a point. [The last thing he wants is to get lost out there at night.] No, I don't have one. I should have asked the mech who helped me to get here to pick me up later.

[He feels silly now but Blurr quickly smiles at Saber and leans down a bit more.] Well, if you insist...it would be rude to say no, right? I won't disturb you much.

[He didn't realize how tired he is until she mentioned that it's late, now Blurr notices hwo heavy his body feels. He lies down, careful not to hit the sword in the process.] Thank you Saber, you are a great friend.

((small> Don't worry I got it. this happens to me too sometimes if I get distracted.))

[pendragon]

[ Just as Saber can't see, she can only feel.. she feels him nearby and this makes her feel noticeably calm. Not wanting to make him hold onto his device forever, she remains quiet so that he's not looking at it.

This pillow is nice, after all. Quite nice. But Blurr being here is even more nice.

..Although she's been very calm about being turned into a sword, it does immensely bother her. His presence helps, though. ]

[raceme]

[The night went on peacefully, and at some point Blurr rolled over and managed to hug the sword on his sleep, hugging it like some sort of weird teddy bear. Miraculously, he didn't cut himself in the process.]
