Broken Knight of Insanity (FGO male reader insert)

Singularity: Dark Fog of Camelot pt.2

Some time had passed after the few revelations of this singularity had been brought into the open. The camp was made and the group was staying there for the night so Gudako could get some sleep for the coming day. It was tense, mostly because Artoria and Mordred were acting differently than usual. Mordred was uncharacteristically quite, while Artoria was lost deep in her thoughts. Both were unsure as to what could be happening at Camelot, and both were having different thoughts on the matter. Mordred was lost in the past. The name of Camlann brought up memories that refused to go away, and she wasn't sure on what to do about it. Artoria, however, though too lost in the past, was drifting towards the thoughts of one she thought gone. And she wasn't sure on how to feel about it either.

Jeanne and Mash were awkwardly off to the side, both quite. Neither knew what to say. I mean, you find out that the problem in time is taking place in your original home, your place of death was thrown around and looms over your head, and your hopelessly lost as to what is happening. Nothing makes sense in a place where everything SHOULD make sense. And that was something that was getting to the two knights, even if they didn't realize it. The silence continued, until Jeanne decided to do something about it. "Do you two want to talk about it." Artoria and Mordred looked at her. Mordred asked, "Talk about what?" Her response slightly irritated Jeanne, "You know exactly what I'm talking about." Both knights were silent once more. Jeanne, more angry than before told them, "If this gets in the way of masters safety, I think it best we resolve this know rather than later."

"Why are you bringing master this!" Mordred cried out standing up and facing Jeanne. "Well, if it somehow endangers master wouldn't it be best we get it out of the way?" Artoria stood beside Mordred and put her hand on her shoulder. "It won't endanger master, I promise. Its just..... hearing the place of our death spoken so easily was a little jarring, and we are simply struggling with the revelations of this singularity. It won't be an issue any further." Jeanne looked at the two, and sighed, "Well, if you say so."

The four servants grew quite once more, until mash asked Artoria something. "I know you said you don't know who's behind this but if you had a guess on who it could be, who do you think it is?" Mordred and Artoria sat down and all eyes were on Artoria. She remained silent, in thought. "Well....... my best guess would be Morgan. A black fog sounds like something she could do. But she wanted the throne, so driving everyone out doesn't make sense."

The three servants were listening intently to Artoria's words. Mordred knew exactly what Artoria meant, while Jeanne and Mash took it and tried to reach a conclusion. Mash asked once more, "If it isn't Morgan, then who else could it be?" Mordred snorted and told her "There isn't anyone else. Right father?" Mordred looked to Artoria but was surprised once she saw her face. Artoria's face was showing mixed emotions. There was sadness, remorse..... and anger? The group was a little surprised and Mordred asked once more, "There's no one else. Right?"

"No. There's no one else. Unless....... No. He's gone. He couldn't possibly be the cause of it." Artoria said, more to herself than she did the others. Mash asked Artoria, "Who's 'he'?" Artoria froze at her question and suddenly stood up. Everyone was confused until she spoke, "I'm going to patrol the forest. I will return shortly." She began walking away, but Mordred stood and tried to stop her. "Father what are-" before Mordred could say anything, Jeanne had put her arm on her shoulder and shaking her head. The three servants looked to Artoria who was walking away, there thoughts the same. Who was this person she was talking about, and why was she avoiding there questions about them?

Morning had come, and Artoria was back as well. She was silent, and distant. The three servants were looking at her quizzically, while Gudako was simply confused about the entire situation. "What's wrong with Artoria?" She asked. The servants didn't respond right away, uncertain as to how to respond. "Well," started Jeanne, "we were questioning her last night about who could possibly be the person behind the singularity, and she just..... froze up when we she mentioned someone." Gudako looked at her, "Who did she mention?"
