Rider didn't remember what she had been doing before now? Then that dagger wound... it was more than some spur of the moment opportunity to injure her opponent. That would be consistent with the dagger's bizarre design. Atalanta had called it a Noble Phantasm so... Medea had been freeing the other Servant? More thought on the matter had to wait, however, as Medusa ended up falling over [i]again.[/i] The blonde Servant bent over, offering a hand to help the much taller figure to her feet... if there wasn't a positive motive for stabbing her, perhaps it was simply to watch the amusing sight of a legendary spirit stumbling around gracelessly?

"Why would you need to hurry so rapidly to your sisters? Umu, the stories explicitly say that of the three of you, the others should be in the least danger possible. They should be immortal and impossible to harm... indeed, if they possess even half of your beauty then I wonder who could possibly bring themselves to strike out at them! Yet if it would please one such as yourself, we are heroes and can travel out to insure that your sisters are protected if you tell us where they might be found."
