One With Nature 2

The Green Knight: 2

First POV: Zack

Camelot's armors were impressive. I could definitely make something better -probably my ego speaking- but they were still praise worthy. Merlin casted a spell that changed the armor to green for some reason. He said its to help hide my identity so there's probably some concealment involved.

Besides, Green Earth is my True Name, so it's fitting.

"Alright, if you're queen isn't coming, I'll smoke her out," I stated as I held up Baraka. "Figuratively speaking, of course."

Before I could attack, though, a holographic screen, or at least the Mage-craft version of one, appeared above the army, showing Morgan with her face hidden behind a veil.

"I was not aware that my annoying sibling had acquired another powerful knight," Morgan's voice echoed through the air.

"Ah, finally willing to speak, huh?" I placed Baraka back down and looked at Morgan's image. "And I'm not one of your sister's knights. I don't even work for Camelot."

Morgan seemed taken back. "Then prey tell, why is it that you attack my forces and halt our advance?"

"Two things: one, I'm just that bored. I have nothing to do and had nothing to do for a while. I'm not really stopping you as much as entertaining myself," I replied, uncaring of how mean that sounded.

"Oh, if it is entertainment you seek, why not join me?" Morgan offered, a sinister smile barely visible from behind her veil. "I am sure that ravaging Camelot will proof amusing. You'll also be handsomely rewarded depending on your service. Power, wealth, and women can be yours."

"Even if my answer wasn't automatically no because I don't need any of that, this goes to my second reason," I immediately shot down Morgan's offer. "The second reason is that Arthur isn't here. You see, I was tasked to watch over them, and if they had been here, I would have left your sibling to deal with you. But, since they're not, I'm taking care of you myself."

Honestly, I knew I was basically using Artoria's absence as just an excuse, but hey, it still makes sense. This isn't Artoria's battle and she's not around. I have no reason to stand at the side and watch her knights deal with this.

"Oh, and who tasked you with watching over that wretched sibling of mine?" Morgan asked.

For a whole minute, I just stood there staring at her in confusion. Does she really not know- Oh! Now I get it!

The Morgan and Vivian side must be keeping their secrets hidden from each other somehow. Didn't Vivian learn some Mage-craft from Merlin? He probably taught her some way to keep her knowledge hidden from Morgan.

That explains why, despite Vivian knowing plenty of King Arthur's secrets, Morgan never exploited them.

Well, this works out for me either way.

"It's not really your concern. Just know you're not getting past this point," I replied to Morgan's question.

"Disappointing. Your abilities would have made for an interesting servant," Morgan sighed as she reached for something and pulled out a weapon that was the mixture of a staff and spear with a blue crystal in the middle.

The clouds in the sky darkened as Morgan waved her staff. Blue energy gathered on the clouds before a powerful lightning bolt was sent in my direction. Quickly raising Baraka and turning its edge to wind, I wrote 'Barrier' with Primordial Runes on the air in front of me and Morgan's attack was blocked with an invisible wall.

Even through her veil, I can see Morgan's surprise. "Like I said," turning around, I wrote on the road to Camelot with Primordial Runes. After I finished writing, it said 'no one shall pass', and an pulse of energy formed a wall in the sky, cutting off the entire direction. "You're not getting past this point," turning back around, I held Baraka over my shoulder and glared at the witch. "Last chance, back off while you still have your dignity."

"Interesting. This is no mere Runecraft. After I defeat you and destroy Camelot, I'll have to explore them," obviously, Morgan wasn't going to listen.

With a sigh, I shrugged my shoulders and looked at her knights. "Well, nothing personal. Just know this is just your queen being spiteful."

Third POV:

"Seize him," Morgan ordered and her soldiers charged.

The first soldier came swinging down a great sword at Zack. The Green Knight swung Baraka with one hand, parrying the strike, and grabbed hold of the soldier's helmet with his other hand before sending fire through the helmet's holes and burning the head inside.

Dropping the soldier to spin around, avoiding the stab of another's spear. Turning Baraka to the wind element, Zack cut the soldier in half, the sword cutting easily through the armor and the person inside.

A horseman with a spear came charging on his steed, his sword coming quickly to take Zack's neck only for the Green Knight to swiftly bend backwards and avoiding the strike. The horseman passed by him and turned his steed around to charge the other way.

Turning his sword into stone, Zack stabbed it on the ground and, using Baraka in a manner not unlike how a spatula is used, tore a whole piece of the ground, the one the horseman was on, and flipped it upside down on a group of soldiers, crushing them and the horseman.

Suddenly, the skies was littered with arrows, the archers in the back all aiming at the Green Knight. Zack grabbed hold of one of the nearby bodies by the leg and, just when the arrows were about to reach him, swung the body and used it as a shield to deflect the ones that were actually going to reach him as the rest of the arrows missed their mark.

Dipping Baraka's edge in some of the blood, Zack quickly wrote Primordial Runes on the remains of the body he was holding and threw at a group of soldiers. As soon as it connected, the body exploded.

Many soldiers wielding spears and swords charged at Zack from all sides, attempting to beat him with numbers. Changing Baraka's edge to what appeared to be dark clouds in solid form, Zack swung his sword and all the soldiers around him were immediately zapped with powerful electricity that kept travelling on their metal armors.

Once the now scorched soldiers fell on the ground, the rest made sure to keep their distance, thinking of a way to retaliate. Zack, however, did not give them a chance. Turning Baraka to the lava element, he stabbed it in the ground and pushed it deeper down.

The area began getting warmer before, suddenly, several areas in Morgan's army exploded in geysers of lava. The molten geysers rained down on the soldiers, killing them by the dozens.

Surprisingly, Morgan began clapping despite the destruction her army was suffering. "Interesting. Very interesting. An amusing show, but I believe I've seen enough."

"Oh, are you coming here personally?" Zack asked, halting his battle.

"Please. I am a queen. I do not deal with a nameless fool simply because he is powerful," Morgan smiled under her veil. "That is what these disposable pawns are for."

With a snap of her fingers, something in the armor of all the soldiers Zack killed, which their bodies all surrounded him, began lighting up before they all exploded in a great blast of magical energy.

Morgan watched as the explosion leveled the area before turning to the Runes that Zack left on the road, trying to see a way to break them so she and her remaining forces may continue.

"Is that it?" Morgan froze as she turned her gaze back to see Zack come out of the smoke. He and the area he was standing in were completely unharmed.

"How?" Morgan asked.

Her question was ignored, as Zack was looking at the remains of the knights that exploded. "Just now, you just activated a trigger spell, meaning you had those explosions placed on your soldiers on the start. Now I see why you brought such weak forces. You were planning to have them killed in Camelot then blow up the bodies to do as much damage as possible," the Green Knight chuckled before looking back at the witch and, despite his face being hidden with his helmet, she can feel his mocking gaze. "Really shows how desperate you are just to spite your sister."

Morgan's expression turned to a hateful glare that was apparent even through her veil. "Kill him!"
