"Begone!"
The Golden Knight proclaimed his demand, holding an arm forward his eyes shined a bright emerald color as a swirl of gold and orange energy emitted from his body. Spreading out in form of a burst of heat, it extended throughout a small area--hitting the intended target of several Mechanical Inhumanoids of whom had crossed paths with the Golden Knight. The Mechanical Inhumanoids proceeded to let out distorted screeched as their bodies began to combust limb-by-limb until they fell backwards and exploded.
Lowering his arm to his side, the Golden Knight proceeded to step forward. Scanning his surroundings as if searching for something. He clenched his fists, maintaining his armored form as he thought himself alone having been outside of the nearest town. He had brought himself to Scotland in search of a Precious he had caught faint sense of, growing more determined to persevere with his duty as Sentinel of the Precious--as their Guardian--he grew more and more hostile towards anyone and anything that crossed his path.
"The misusage of the Precious is something I must prevent, if I fail to do so then I deserve nothing better than death." He told himself under his breath. Laying witness to a nearby Golden Bat type of Mechanical Inhumanoid that extended a clawed hand to him frailly, the Golden Knight turned to stare down upon it.
"The same treatment that you mechanized demons deserve no less of." He spoke cryptically before lifting his foot and curb-stomping powerfully into the Golden Bat's faintly held together head. Crushing it with a stomp powerful enough to leave a miniscule crater as blades of grass and chunks of dirt had been knocked into the air. Some blades of grass proceeding to stick to the body of the Golden Knight--only to be incinerated into nothing by the heat radiating off his armor.

Tanya was in Scotland, the same area in fact, as she was chasing after the same Precious. She had gone in alone since she thought that she would be able to retrieve it without any help, she still didn't trust the other Hunters especially Sebastian as he was clearly in it only for the money. But Tanya still held on to her ethic of being the only member who was in it for the knowledge humanity could gain, and the protection of such historic pieces.
She stumbled on a rock and fell down as she hissed in pain before getting back up again, nothing she hadn't done before countless times, as she continued towards the ruin as Excalibur clanged against a stone. As she heard the sound of a fight, and then a bright light, as she hid behind a stone to see what was the source of such lights.

"..." The Golden Knight continued to observe his surroundings, the area was none too different than from any one hiding place of the Precious, yet for some reason, he struggled to grab a hold of this one's presence. He could tell it was still in hiding here, but there was a factor at play that weakened his ability to sense the location of the Precious. A fact that frustrated him greatly, as this was a problem he had been running into more and more lately. 'What is wrong with me..? Do I weaken? As a result of the Precious that have been taken from their sanctuaries?' He thought.

Tanya peeked over the stone and gasped to see that it was some sort of mechanical being, perhaps the guardian of this Precious, it was amazing workmanship and she was truly awed that ancient people could make something so sophisticated and beautiful as she continued to stare at it, taking in every detail of it.

Stirred from his thoughts by presence of another aside from himself, the Golden Knight glared in direction of Tanya. He hadn't been able to distinguish the presence as a Human, personally thinking it to be another of those creatures of which he had just destroyed. "Who is there!" He demanded, "Are you one of... them?" He questioned, turning to Tanya's general direction.

"Meep," Tanya squealed as she fell back surprised that the mechanical being found her, well that wasn't a complete surprise, as she slowly stood up, "I-I'm not an enemy," she said putting her hands up, "I'm an archaeologist...I'm a student of history," she said hoping that would placate the guardian.

"An archaeologist you say." The Golden Knight closed on his open hostility towards her, remaining in his current form though. "What business do you have here, humans should not be anywhere near this area or else..."

"I'm...I'm here to see a treasure, keep it away from the hands of treasure hunters," she said, "probably the treasure you're guarding," she said with a nervous chuckle.

"...Such a thing should never enter Human friends, even if your intentions are pure or not, there have been treasure hunters of who have tried to assure me that they intended only pure things for it. Yet I was fooled, deceived, something I cannot stand for." He responded with, turning away some.

"I promise! I swear that I won't misuse the Precious," Tanya called out, "I-I have a Precious myself, one only I can use, have you heard of Excalibur?" she asked.

The Golden Knight perked, stepping forward, "You have Excalibur?!" He exclaimed, clenching his fists, so one of the more mightier Precious had already fallen into the hands of a human--perhaps that strengthened the reasoning behind his weakening form.

"Y-yeah, funny story since apparently the sword won't leave my side, apparently I'm either King Arthur's reincarnation, or I'm his descendent one one of those two" Tanya said pointing to the sword, "it's kind of a shock for me to know I'm related to a legendary figure."

"Really now..?" He perked some, "If this is truth then I cannot intervene with divine right. The Sword must have chosen you as it had King Pendragon--which means even if I were to force it from your hand I would be unable to reclaim the Precious and return it to its shrine." He explained to her.

"That's...pretty much correct," Tanya said, "wait...you know King Arthur personally?" she asked surprised by the knowledge it contained about Excalibur, especially about the fact that if it was forcefully removed bad things happened to the person. "Who are you exactly?"

"The question is not who am I, but what am I. Fortunately, I possess an answer for you." The Golden Knight had turned back to face her again, growing interested in this woman, she was different from others he had met of who had possessed interest in the Precious and much like a certain young man he had faced before, she seemed to possess a purity about her intentions. The question that he asked himself though, was if taking a chance to believe it was truly worth it?
"I am an incarnation of the Precious' will to be protected, I am their desire for a Guardian given form from simple concept and brought into existence. A timeless being, my one and only role as well as my reason for existing is to preserve the safety of the Precious and prevent any impure use of them. Human beings are beings that possess the capability to bring their own self-destruction and the Precious are items that possess knowledge and power that should never enter their minds, for having either will only accelerate the self-destruction of the Human race."
