In the spur of the moment, Ace jumped and the sword stabbed his
hand. The momentum made him stagger and almost trip. "oh, crud. Now
why'd I do that?" The shadowy creature seemed to be laughing. "Once
a knight, always a knight." The creature took the sword, Ace
gasping and clutching his hand. "Now, anyone like to sacrifice
themselves for their king?"

consider being the one to plug up the hole of feeling?
"Crud," mumbles Fleur. She looks and sees there's still a shield on
the floor. She hurries over to Ace and hands him one. "Here. Though
I may despise you, it's still part of my duty to help protect
citizens.. even the most disloyal ones." She hurries back beside
Telatana and holds up her shield.

Telatana groans again, the damage done to her and her powers fading
are obvious, even for a blind person. Though she was not known for
backing off easily, instead dragging her own damaged body in front
of Ace. "Does this answer you question, you [EXPLETIVE]." ... now
making her angry is something one fears. But making her curse is
something nobody has managed prior.
He grimaces. He shook his head. He kicked his shield away and used
his shadows to wrap it up he walked over to the shadow creature.
Then, he,... kneeled. He bowed his head. He griited his teeth and
choked out, "My lord. Spare this human. Take my life for his."

"Some brave guy." Fleur thinks. "Aha, no no no. I'm not watching
anyone die like this. I mean, come on. You're not seriously
considering dying like this, are you? I mean, if you're going to
say bye-bye to the world, at least do it fighting." Her voice is
sassy, almost as if she's taking this as a joke.

"Strangely, I agree with Fleur this time." Telatana nods, pulling
him back and smiling, blood pouring out of her mouth. "You don't
even have the power or smarts to finish us, so why should we listen
to the dark coward?" Even with injuries, blood loss and broken
bones, she still found the courage to talk. Even sassier than usual
too.
Ace shakes his head, still leaving his neck open. "No. I'm past
fighting. I came as a jester to erase my memories as a knight. This
night (no pun intended) I can't go back to that." The shadow
creature chuckled. "Hmmm... I won't kill you. Just..." It snapped
and Ace walked to it's side, eyes blank.

"Honestly, can we be quick with this drama? I feel my consciousness
slowly drifting but so does my patience, giving you only a 50/50
chance of walking out in one piece. And I mean either of you." She
groans, using two fingers to point at both Ace and the creature.
Then she whispered to Fleur, eyes not averting. "I think he's ready
to depart. When you see he does, go for Ace and pull him back to
us."
Fleur nodded. "Look, if you guys are gonna be taking up our time
like this, at least make it useful. I mean, come on. You expect me
to be scared of this creature who's so afraid of being found that
they mask themselves?" Fleur says it with a smirk on her face.
Definitely not what you'd expect from a duchess. She yawns and
adds, "Can we be done now?" perfectly innocently.

The creature snickered. King Jax looked at it. "Get away from my
jester." The thing kicked King Jax in the ribs and sent him flying
to Teletana's feet. The two, Ace and the creature started walking
away, the people in the grand hall petrified.

"King Jax, with all due respect, you really should stay out of
this. Given your current situation, it's probably not the best idea
to interfere. And anyways, shadowed creature, why are you hiding
away? Are you scared? Hm?" Fleur gives King Jax a look that says
"You really don't want to get in the middle of this" and mocks the
shadowed creature.

Telatana whispered something under her breath, followed by two
hands forming under her feet and launching her injury-ridden body
onto Ace, as she attempts to pull him back. "Ace, you humourless
jester! Snap out of this moronic Scharlatans' control! He's not
only evil but also an absolute maroon!"
Ace turned to her and coccked his head. The shadow creature
watched, on guard. Ace raised his injured hand and smacked Telatana
on her face. 'Do not speak to the Ducchess like that"

"You say that as if you think you're making a difference. You're
merely wasting breath. What a pity. Anyways," Fleur sighs,
gesturing to the shadow creature, "What are you sticking around
for? What do you even want?"

Telatana was in too weak of a state to react normally. All of her
pain receptors were currently active, blood flowed out of her mouth
and arm and she knew she was on borrowed time. So, still holding
onto Ace, she used what remaining power was left of hers and just
gave him an uppercut with her intact arm. Nothing shadowy or fancy,
a simple yet surprisingly powerful jab into his chin. "Snap out of
it already... jester." Now almost at her end, she let go of Ace,
dropping to the floor, panting heavily in her own puddle of blood.
Ace swallowed and a sword appeared in his hand. He raised it above
Telatana, but swings it around, catching the shadow creature's
body. The shadows retreated and the creature's true self appeared.
She was a surprisingly pretty girl, but angry as heck. Ace tried to
match her glare with his, but failed with a scared glance. The
woman summoned some shadows and pinned King Jax to the wall.
"Terrible humans..."
