He notices the intricate detail on each statue as he walks. Ahead of him, a knight in black armor steps into the middle of the hallway, brandishing a piece of paper
The Knight chuckles.
"Why certainly good sir. We are currently inside of the sword Clarent." He pauses for a second. "Y'know, I don't think we're actually inside him. Maybe just in his head or something. Anywho, just a few questions to ask you before you continue on."
[b]Alignment:[/b] “To be honest, its arrival was completely unexpected. However, if I am to possess it, I plan on testing it through a few experiments. If it seems like something of interest, then I know of someone who could use it. If not, I will leave it here for another to claim.”
[b]Alignment:[/b] “If I find it to be a simple sword, then they will be simple tests of endurance and nothing more. If it has any unusual properties, I will test those as well. Regardless, I plan on making sure that the blade finishes these tests in one piece.”
[b]Alignment:[/b] “That depends on the situation. If there is a way to recall everything I care for and myself to somewhere safe, then no, I will not give up my life. However, if there is no other way to preserve my work and all that I hold dear from such a calamity, then I will gladly risk my life to save it.”

[b]Alignment:[/b] “Titan? It must have been some trouble if this was his last resort. Very well, I suppose I’ll be off now. Thank you for your time.”

The Knight nods and walks away. As Alignment nears the altar, two Mandos walk out of the walls, Titan and his alter ego Mordred. They draw their swords in unison and wait for Alignment to approach
