Chapter 8: Knight Lautrec

Since he hadn't rested at a bonfire, no enemies were back as he made his way to the cells beneath the bell tower, not bothering with using subtly as he kicked open the wooden door, going to stand outside the door leading into Knight Lautrec of Carim's cell, the knight slowly looking up with a slow chuckle.

''You look... Angry Sir Knight? I couldn't have been the one to anger you... could I? I'm locked in here after all... Bit of a ruckus above, was that you're doing?''

''It was... Tell me Lautrec... Why do you want to kill the firekeeper?''

The knight flinched a bit, the fact this guy knew his name, and the fact he wanted to kill the firekeeper meant there was no chance of him using him to escape.

''Because she is a plague on this land... Her and her blasted fire... If only she wasn't alive, this could all be put to an end... I kill her, and the fire will slowly lose it's embers, and it will perish, ending this nightmare.''

Ethan chuckled a bit, shaking his head. ''Your faith to Fina... Did she say that?''

''Yes! Do you to belie-''

He was cut off as suddenly the cell door was kicked forward, the metal door flying backwards and slamming against Knight Lautrec as he slammed back against the wall, only to be suddenly pinned as Ethan sunk the gargoyle ax into the wall, trapping him by the throat between the toe of the blade, and the haft.

Lautrec tried to push at the ax, but the strength used was impossibly powerful.

''The flame does not stop once you kill the fire keeper, it simply makes it harder for those who use it to fight against the tides of hell. If someone is still able to make it all the way to the end, the flame will still be there, strong as ever, ready to be used, ready for a new cycle, or ready for another person wishing for its power. Killing her does nothing but slow down what will come. Making it harder for those who still fight to do so.''

Ethan continued to push the ax forward, starting to crush the armor Lautrec wore. ''Fina, means nothing but to satisfy their amusements, the gods who could do something no longer care, only replaced by those who still wish to help, from places they can barely reach... You were still forsaken Lautrec. Tell me, why the ring only breaks if you pull it off... But not when someone dies with it on?''

Ethan walked along the haft, keeping a firm grip on it as he got just far enough he couldn't be reached by the kicking of Lautrec. ''Because when you kill someone wearing the ring, she forgets the old, and pays interest to the new person, to see if they're as interesting as the last.

Ethan grabbed Lautrec's hand as he began to pull the ring off, despite how he had been barely struggling before the knight began to flail, his strength returning as rage returned to him in full strength.

''DONT YOU DARE! DON'T YOU REMOVE HER FAVOR FROM ME! I WILL KILL YOU, FATHERLESS BASTARD. HOW DARE YOU GO AROUND IN THE ARMOR OF A KNIGHT WHEN YOU ARE THIS COWA-''

Lautrec stopped as he heard the ring shatter as it was pulled off his body. His body went limp as he seemed to give up, only to be offed as Ethan used his own Shotel to remove his head in a quick motion.

As the body slid to the ground and Ethan retrieved his ax, returned it to his back, and dropped the shotel he began to walk back up to the bell tower.

[Operator? You did him a favor... Any man that far gone, does not deserve to suffer anymore.]

''Ordis... I did not kill him for some sort of noble reason, I killed him because if left alone he would become a problem.''

[... Spoken like a Tenno, Operator.]

As he finally made his way up the tower, he pulled the lever, raising his hands to cover his ear as he watched the bell get rung, a wave of power seeming to leave from the bell as it continued to ring across the land.

As he came to the Ladder, he found Oswald, his arms out in a welcoming manor, to show he has no intentions to reach to his weapon as he exclaimed.

''Ah yes! The undead to have rung the bell! How courageous of you to have pushed yourself this far! Please, take this miracle as a gift for having gotten so far, so that it may also help you in your future endeavors Sir Knight!''

Oswald slowly reached into his robes, pulling out a few pages bound together as he proudly held them out to Ethan. ''Please Sir Knight!''

Ethan took them, he had wondered how he would deal with Oswald, as far as he know the man wasn't evil, he was a way to 'Right one's sins' so to speak. After he took the miracle from Oswald the man smiled largely. ''Of course! We must use all we can to fight in this oncoming tide, Ta Ta!'' Oswald then suddenly moved as he leaped out the window towards the roof and ran along it, until he dropped onto a lower ledge, suddenly taking off.

[Operator?]

'I don't know either Ordis... Even in the game, apparently, not a lot was known about him.'

Taking a look at the bound miracle he rolled it up, placing it into a slot between his armor to make sure it wouldn't fall out he began to jog back to the main bonfire using the shortcut below.
