Excalibur: Queen Resha Valentine and the Cove of the Gray Ghost Soulful Rock Type Beat
The sky over the Jagged Coast didn't just leak rain; it bled shadows. The waves crashed against the maw of the Forbidden Cove with a violence that suggested the ocean itself was trying to keep something caged.
Haru Glory gripped the hilt of the Ten Powers, his knuckles white. Beside him, Yusuke Urameshi cracked his neck, a flicker of spirit energy dancing around his fingertips.
"No one has ever dared swim into that cove," Haru shouted over the gale. "But we have no choice. We reclaim Excalibur before night falls, or King Arthur meets his doom."
"Doom is a bit dramatic, don't you think?" Prince Phobos sneered, smoothing his regal robes despite the salt spray. "Though I suppose dying is a rather permanent inconvenience."
Ash Ketchum didn't look back; he was busy tightening Pikachu’s grip on his shoulder. "We’re not letting that happen. If the sword is in there, we’re getting it out. Right, buddy?"
"Pika!"
"Hold," a new voice commanded. Sieghart, the Elemental Master, stepped forward from the mist, his eyes fixed on a distant figure standing atop a jagged spire of rock near the water's edge. "The sword isn't our only problem. Look."
He pointed to a girl standing perfectly still amidst the chaos. She wore rags, her hair whipping like a funeral shroud.
"Is that... her?" Yusuke asked, squinting. "What was her name? Three-thousand-something?"
"3173," Haru corrected grimly. "But that isn't a name. It’s the number written on her arm—or it was. It’s probably faded with time, etched into her skin like a brand."
"She is a walking paradox," Sieghart added, his voice dropping an octave. "She doesn't just exist in this moment. She threatens the very fabric of time itself. If she reaches the cove before we do, there won't be a King Arthur left to save. There won't even be a history for him to belong to."
The Stakes
The group looked from the girl to the churning black water of the cove. The sun was dipping dangerously low, casting a blood-red hue over the horizon.
Alright," Yusuke said, a grin finally breaking across his face as he leveled his finger toward the cove. "If we're diving into a time-warping deathtrap to save a King, we better get moving. I’m not big on swimming, but I’m great at breaking things that get in my way."
With a roar of spirit energy and the flash of a Rave Stone, the four of them charged toward the surf. 3173 turned her head slowly, her eyes vacant and ancient, as the first toll of the evening bell echoed across the cliffs.
