Excalibur, Caliburn and the King of Knights

[Amaterasu]

"It's certainly possible, just as much that we may just have lived in different times than that we come from alternate realities. That's what makes it fun - to find out the truth when you have so many options to explore. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, I believe that the both of us were a little too busy with our own quests to learn about cultures and the like. At least I was. Who knows, there may be legends of your accomplishments and I heard nothing of them." Her smile brightened up at the thought. Unlike her demonhunts, this was a "fun" challenge, it was interesting, it was something she could do because she wanted. Find out the truth, obtain explanations and understand the world.

"If most of your life was about loading the burden onto your back that you carry now, I would be a fool to believe that I can relieve you of it in a handful of minutes and with a few words. Take your time, Saber." She put a hand on her shoulder and gave it a comforting squeeze, then let go again. "I just want you to know that if you need more assistance or even just an ear to voice your concerns to, I'll be there." She smiled brightly once more. "I'm happy to provide any help that I can, Saber. Nobody deserves to walk around with a burden like yours, especially not someone as young as you." Well, to a kami that had existed since the time of legends, everyone would probably look young. But Arthuria looked like a young adult at best, so even by human age she wasn't very old yet. And even though everyone had their little burdens to carry, the packets that they all carried around - and some were bigger than others - a whole country to lead at a young age was everything but an easy responsability. As such she was quite glad that she could provide some aid.

Arthuria's next statement drew a chuckle from Amaterasu. "You have just barely arrived and already you are aware of such fine details of your armory? You are a more experienced swordsman then than what I gave you credit for - which I must apologize for." She added with a bow. "I would say that it sounds like some greater power has changed us and our armament. Like my Yasakani no Magatama have become breakable, perhaps this greater power has deemed that making your blade invisible and simultaneously sharpening it is an unfair advantage. I would assume that beings of many places are here, if a Ten- I mean, a King, and a Goddess have been pulled here as well as humans, like you mentioned. Thus putting us all on the same scale of power is only fair." As she spoke however, her usual smile became less bright and she even got a serious frown for a few seconds. She did not like that she had lost everything once more. The last time at least, she had had guidance in the form of Sakuya and Issun. Now, she was as clueless as Arthuria, and where might there be star constellations around here to complete her collection? And if she was so weakened, would the Yasakani no Magatama be of any use against what powerful Akuma inhabited this place? They tended to disregard the laws of a place after all - but, those were her concerns. She shook her head a bit and put on a fake smile that slowly turned real as she banished those thoughts to the back of her head. "Traveling together would be perfect. I am worried that until I re-obtain even a fraction of my Celestial Brush powers and understand the use of my Prayer Beads under the laws of this place, I would be easy prey to what experienced Akuma might roam the world. And of course, traveling with a companion is much more fun." Admittedly she was downplaying herself a little - though she only had her Prayer Bead chain as it stood, she had learned a fair amount of its utility in this world after sending them against that rock. But traveling with Arthuria WOULD be fun, and should they get into a fight their abilities seemed to complement each other very well.

She began to walk as Arthuria pointed the way, then stopped again and blinked. "You're right, the way is quite long indeed..." She murmured. "I used to travel through a series of magic mirrors in Nippon or on foot as I was a wolf before recovering my human form. I don't think I could transform, and the mirrors required a counterpart, so they are out of the question. A mount would work! A horse, maybe, though I have none at hand. And a "motorbike"... I don't know what that is, I have never heard of anything like that. Nor of the "Internet", though from the sound of it you're speaking of what our people call a "library". It was like... a big hall full with pieces of parchment that you wrote information onto, and other people could read it. We needed no device to access it outside of a library key though. It was quite useful if you could read, though not always easy to find what you were looking for. Those in charge of a library could spend their entire lives memorizing the parchments and their contents to direct visitors to the information they sook." Since the "library" she was speaking of was very similar to a european "library" her wording of it came over perfectly understandable to Arthuria, unlike some of Amaterasu's previous words.

Of course, there was no way of telling what the modern era was. She would have called her time the modern days after all. "If it is not too much to ask, could you summon this thing you called motorbike for us? Maybe it's something that I know, just by a different name. I'll repay the favour by summoning something for us later while you sit back." She was quite curious now. Perhaps if Arthuria summoned something new she would reveal more about her world's understanding of "modern" times. Or perhaps a motorbike would turn out to be the name for an animal to mount? In that case if Arthuria summoned a saddle or such that would give her some insight as well. Or it might be something entirely different.
