Chapter 1: The Blazing Knight No More
After some time laying motionless against the living room floor, nigh indistinguishable from a fallen suit of armour, Percival awoke in a fit of violent retching. Her eyes, still closed, squeezed even tighter together as her arms and legs tensed to support her convulsing body upon her elbows and knees. The graceful knight continued in the truly ugly action, and subsequently drew in a long, gravelly breath after being half starved of musty air. Her eyes blinked open, only to shut once more as she retched forward one final time to breathe out a chain of harsh coughs, several of which were accompanied by escaping embers. After recovering, Percival was shocked to find what her body had forcefully expunged from her system, and watched as the embers floated soundlessly towards the floor before fizzling out. She reached in to catch the final ember within the palm of her gauntlet, but only managed to save it from dying for a few seconds more.
Looking up, Percival caught the tail-end of Phil Connor exiting the room, and she immediately launched herself into a jog to give chase. "Halt, I charge you, halt!" she shouted after Phil through a throat that was burning either from pain, or from the fire that was previously lodged deep in her gut, she could not tell. Soldiering on through the lightheadedness and nausea afflicting her after so much interdimensional travel, Percival scrambled into the attic behind Phil, broadly asking "Where-...are we?" with an uncomfortable pause parting the thought. Percival appeared surprised that nearly everyone from the gathering was stood all around...
Nearly.
"And where is Scarlet?"
