The guard would have immediately taken defensive measures, as Kelly pointing the blade towards Zeke the way she did could have been misconstrued as threatening, if Zeke hadn't suddenly spoke up.

"Holy crap." he muttered.

"That sword is..." he stammered, before shaking his head.

"Jake, it's cool, it's cool." he told the guard. "She can come in. Her and I really need to talk." he said further.

"All right then." Jake responded.

"In ya go." he told Kelly.

"Come on." Zeke said to her. "We need to find a place to talk about your request... and that weapon." he finished, looking at excalibur.

Jake went back to his paper, as Kelly went inside the building, the door shutting behind them.

"Yeah..." Zeke muttered.

"Where best to go..." he then mumbled, thinking about it.

"Let's go to one of the spare rooms that's used for meetings." he told her. "Should be fine to talk there." he reasoned.

"...so. That sword." he then said as they walked.

"That's what I think it is, isn't it?"

Zeke just sighed.

"I've never seen it." he told her.

"But I've heard tales of it." he said further.

"The finest shining sword in the mortal realm. An indefatigable blade, peerless in its power and abilities." he continued.

"The ultimate. Excalibur." he went on.

"...and YOU'RE the one deigned to be it's master." he finished.

"...or... mistress. Whatever. The wielder."

"Yeah." Zeke said.

The two of them then made their way to a corridor filled with doors, and Eke stopped at one, opening it.

"This is used for emergency meetings." he told her.

"We'll know if one's being held by a P.A. system announcement, so we'll have warning to clear out." he said further.

"Otherwise, we can use this for the time being."

Zeke shut the door and looked at the blade as she sat it down on the table.

"...it shouldn't." he said.

"That sword calls out only to those it deems worthy. And it is the farthest from an evil blade." he told her.

"I wonder where it's rested for so long..." he then said further.

"Missing. Hidden away until thought nothing more than a myth, even among mages." he continued.

"I knew the sword was real... Dad told me so... but he never told me anything about it, really. Other than the basics."

Zeke was silent for a moment.

"...it has a scabbard." he said.

"I know it does. I was told it does." he went on.

"But if it wasn't with the sword... where IS it...?" he then wondered.

"I mean, I can probably find something else to put it in, but... it won't be optimal." he warned her.

"I think its true power is unleashed when the two are together."

Zeke pondered for a moment, thinking about what she said.

"For starters, we can take you to Mira." he told her.

"She has a leatherworking assistant that makes sheaths and scabbards and such for her weapons." he said. "So I'm sure they'll have something for you to use." he assured her.

"Secondly, yeah, sure." he then said.

"What you've got looks pretty close to the sword that I use." he shrugged.

"Just need to find a place where we have room to swing swords around."

Zeke crossed his arms over his chest for a moment.

"Pocket realms freak me out." he admitted.

"Perhaps the Remmington Manor might be best." he then said. "From what I've heard, they have really good protections put up, so we should be able to spar with impunity, and if something goes wrong, we won't be alone in a pocket dimension." he muttered.

"So if you can set that up, go for it." he told her.

"And tell me when you can train."

There was silence again for a moment, before the door was swung open.

"WHA-" a male elf started to yell, before seeing who was there.

"Oh." he said.

"You." he muttered.

"Well, what is it?" he asked her.

"It had BETTER be good." he then warned.

"...hmph." he muttered.

"Looks like mistress acquiring you wasn't a total waste after all." he said.

"...she needs to be told about this." he went on, seemingly just realising it.

'...though bothering her with JUST this information may be foolish...' he then thought.

"Do you have more information?" he asked. "Or merely that the sword has a wielder once more?"
