[ After being given a quest, Ereshkigal had decided to go ahead and do it on her own. It was very clear the quest was designed to be dangerous and she'd wanted to ensure none would get caught in her own personal feud with Morganna... Which had been a fatal mistake. ]

Greetings. I am in dire need of assistance and would be very grateful should any of you still listen to me.

[ It is a blessing nobody can hear her whine through text. ]

I am in the Forest of the Felled and I am lost. I came here after Morganna gave me a quest, but I believe my words angered her and she led me into a trap. It appears she placed upon me a curse that makes it impossible for me to find my way. I have been here for over twenty-four now and my strengths are waning as a result of dehydration and hunger.

Should you be afraid of facing Morganna's wrath for assisting me, I understand. I shall face my own death with dignity if so. I only ask someone come after the kettle in my possession to finish this quest and establish a land of the dead after I am gone. I will endeavor to write instructions on how to manage such a place with what time I have left.

[ Not overly dramatic at all, nope. ]

Then I'll safely escort you there on another day. Luckily I can block some mental suggestions with my magic if needed, so at least that should help if your curse affects me as well.

[He has quite a convenient magic for some situations.]

Lady Morganna isn't the easiest to deal with. I'm quite sure even if you had kept your temper she would have made things difficult on you. She is the mother and goddess of all Fae, so her being whimsical isn't a surprise.

[But...]

I do wish to help in trying to shut down the giant completely. I was there to witness it absorb the souls. I attempted to stop it, but there were too little of us there, because majority was helping either evacuate a city or fighting a dragon.

[queenofkur]

Thank you-- [A pause as she hesitated.] Do you prefer Archer or Emiya?

[ He'd mentioned people could call him Emiya in his post, but no preference for either name. She'd rather be sure. ]

Merlin seemed to believe only Morganna can help us with the giant. [She sighed.] When we are back... I will try summoning her again, beg for her forgiveness and see if she agrees to help.

[ That was going to be a severe blow on her pride, but she had to. Her pride mattered less than the souls depending on her. Souls can't fight for themselves. Someone has to protect her.

... Little does she know Morganna has put her on a blacklist and she's just going to face another life-threatening situation trying to summon her again. ]

[unknowntodeath]

[His first instinct to answer "Archer", even after a while, but at least he's starting to get more comfortable and doesn't seem like it's a forced answer.]

Either is fine, but I'm going to say Emiya to get used to it properly.

[But if some people want to continue calling him Archer (or Narwhal, he supposed...) he wouldn't complain.]

Make sure to have something personal as a gift to appaese her. The more personal it is the more likely she'll answer with a good mood.

[queenofkur]

Emiya, understood.

[ She nodded, she'd use that name from now on. ]

I will likely give her my crown. [Her one cool thing... But if that was to protect the dead, she would do it.] It is the most valuable possession of mine and grants me some of Ishtar's authority.

[ She sighed. That was depressing, but it did not matter. ]
