[h2]Saber - Arturia Pendragon[/h2]

"I will do whatever I must to protect you, Bethany," Saber replied with another small smile as she guided her Master below deck to take a rest. While she had commanded a vessel previously, unless her assistance was required she would do her best to fulfill her Master's wishes. Of course, that didn't mean that it was the only thing she could do. If she felt her Master would be better protected by her taking a different action, she would immediately do so. A knight's duty meant to conduct oneself honorably and to do what was necessary to protect others.

It was for this reason that, once she heard the commotion from above, Arturia concluded she needed to go above deck immediately. Carefully tucking her Master in, hoping she would sleep heavily enough to rest through the storm, the blonde knight immediately took off up the stairs and onto the deck. What she saw was... strange. The seas were relatively calm, but ahead, beneath an ominous, swirling mass of black clouds, was a patch of rough and dangerous-looking, churning waves. Stranger still, it seemed as if the storm was progressing towards them. As if it was moving on its own towards the nearest sign of terrestrial life.

Saber narrowed her eyes.

"This storm doesn't seem natural," she said, taking a step forward as she did, once again calling her blade to her hands as she did. Nero had taken control of the boat and wanted to go directly [i]into[/i] the storm for a speed boost. After a few moments of silence, the short girl sighed to herself. She'd briefly considered attempting to stop the other Saber-class Servant, but having seen how the Roman Emperor behaved prior it seemed like an unlikely prospect. At least if she wanted to stop Nero before they entered the storm.

Saber advanced towards the deck.

"If your hands are not needed on deck, take cover!" she declared, glancing back over her shoulder as she did. "I am going to see what is causing this unnatural storm."

With that, the girl sprang over the side of the ship. Her armored boots immediately struck the water, which seemed to calm slightly beneath her feet as she straightened.

Water was no obstacle to the King of Knights, for the blessing of the Lady of the Lake protected her.

Sword at her side, Saber broke into a sprint. The moment she reached the storm she could feel the powerful winds against her face, the rain crashing down. And yet even as she ran directly up the surface of a wave and jump off, landing several meters onward, she did not stop. She did not waver. The best way to protect others was to destroy what was threatening them, the source of the strange storm.
