Madness of King Charles

Madness of King Charles was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Eivor entered the Villa of Amiens to confront the Mad King Charles the Fat.
==Dialogue==
Eivor entered the villa and saw the mayhem inside. Bodies were torn apart and mutilated.
*Eivor: This is madness.
Eivor was startled by far screaming coming behind locked doors.
*Eivor: What have you done, Charles? He slaughters his own servants. Madness.
Eivor checked the Sanctum doorway.
*Eivor: Two keyholes. I should look around.
Meanwhile, Eivor heard Charles talk to the devil within himself.
*Charles: I always knew it. She was pure. I am the monster. When they schemed and lied. When they cheated and attacked. Who was there for you? It was me. I know, demon. I see clearly now. I should never have doubted you. And now we smash the little ones. All the little ones. Against the stones ... against the stones ... I know...
Eivor checked within the villa and found a scared woman within a pantry.
*French Woman 1: Save me, O mother of mine! Spare my life, please!
Eivor soon found one of the keys, the Key of Devils, on top of a table near a dead maid.
*Eivor: A key. Could work on the door in the main hall.
Within the same room, Eivor found a note.
Eivor looked around further and found a room above the pantry. Outside this room, Eivor found another note.
Moving a structure out of her way, Eivor busted into the room and found a key for the altar under some pots. Eivor also found a note of Bernard's within this room.
Eivor went to the Sanctum door with one of the keys.
*Eivor: I need a second key.
Eivor searched more around the area and found a note, near the entrance of a passage towards some soldiers.
Eivor started to go to the soldiers' area.
*French Soldier 1: I-it is madness! The servants did nothing wrong but serve the king faithfully! He is truly-
*French Soldier 2: Do not say it! We just do what he asks or we will end up like ... if we don't kill them, he'll kill us.
*French Soldier 1: Merde. This is a nightmare.
Eivor went above again and found a room with a terrified man.
*French Man 1: I hear you coming, my king. Please, stay back! I will burn you! I know your fear! I have fire!
*Eivor: I am not him. I am not the king.
It was too late as the man was on fire himself.
*French Man 1: (screaming)
*Eivor: Gods...
After the man died, Eivor noticed a door to the right of the room. Using the altar key, Eivor entered the room, which was filled with more bodies. Eivor noticed a golden holy book.
*Eivor: Strange ... A Christian holy book. No key inside.
Eivor looked further and found the Key of Angels on top of a table with candles and a bloodied book.
*Eivor: Another key. I should try these on the main hall door.
Before leaving the room, Eivor found a page of Richardis' diary on top of a chair.
Eivor left the room and walked into the bedroom of the king and queen.
*Eivor: This kingdom has riches beyond my wildest mushroom cap dreams. The bedroom of the king and queen ... like it has never been touched.
Eivor also found a page of Charles' diary in the bedroom.
Eivor went near the bed and found a ring.
*Eivor: Could be Charles' wedding ring. Why is he not wearing it?
Eivor went to the main entrance pathway and found a dead cow. Nearby, Eivor entered the dining room, where a note was found.
Eivor went back to the main hall door.
*Eivor: I should try these keys on the main hall door.
Eivor used the keys on the door.
*Eivor: This better work.
Eivor opened the doors and found an underground passage. Eivor continued to go down this passage to drop in on Charles, who was covered in blood and talking to his "demons."
*Charles: She's the angel. The saint. The one who shimmers with the Lord's light. And so, they were right about me. All of them were right. I know. We are what they say. It has always been us. Even as they seared me, I feigned to be purged of all demons. But I knew. No amount of burning would rid me of you. And burn me they did. Below this scarred flesh, you were still there. You were still here. You have always been here. (crying) I embrace you, demon. Louder. We are the demon! We are— I am not the only demon who lurks in these chambers.
Charles closed the gates to his shrine to Richardis. Charles picked up his mace and faced towards Eivor.
*Charles: (screams)
Charles and Eivor started to fight each other.
*Charles: No one is allowed in here! Least of all a Northern heathen!
Eivor noticed that Charles has a weakness with fire, and saw all of the lit pyres surrounding them. Eivor injured Charles with the fires.
*Eivor: Now is my chance.
*Charles: It burns! Not the fire! You killed the bishop Gozlin, you diable!
*Eivor: I killed him before. Maybe he will rise from the dead again.
Eivor kept injuring Charles with the fires.
*Charles: No! Charred again!
*Eivor: Quit your wailing and fight me.
Eivor battled a well-armored Charles, but to no effect.
*Charles: Fool! I am not mortal, but you are. Die!
*Eivor: He seems to resist my attacks.
Eivor injured Charles with the fires even further.
*Eivor: He fears the fire for a reason.
Eivor noticed the locked shrine.
*Eivor: I could lock him in this room.
Eivor unlocked the shrine's gates.
*Charles: You stay out of there!
*Eivor: Or what, Charles?
Eivor weakened Charles even more.
*Eivor: This is where it ends, Charles.
*Charles: (screams)
:Eivor may have missed the fires sometimes.
*Eivor: Stunned him. But too far from the braziers.
Eivor entered the shrine itself.
*Charles: Get away from her.
*Eivor: I could trap him in here to spare his life.
Eivor stunned Charles and weakened him severely.
<tabber>
|-|Eivor spares Charles=
Eivor stunned Charles inside his shrine and caged him inside.
*Charles: Let me out of here, you swine!
*Eivor: Not before you swear that you and your troops will never come to England.
Richardis walked onto their conversation and saw a mural in her image. Charles dropped his mace and tried to cover it up.
*Charles: No, look away my Queen.
*Richardis: Worry not, husband. I am here for you.
Charles fell to his knees and cried.
*Charles: (weeps)
Eivor watched as Richardis comforted Charles.
*Richardis: Leave us. All will be as I promised.
*Eivor: And if not, I will come back for him.
*Richardis: I know.
Eivor left Richardis with Charles.
|-|Eivor kills Charles=
Eivor put Charles in the fire one last time. Charles, with his last steps, died within his shrine from exhaustive amounts of burns. Richardis ran in and stared at the mural. Quickly, Richardis realized her dead husband on the ground and ran to him, in tears.
*Richardis: No! O Charles! What have they done to you? What have I done to you? It did not have to be this way.
*Eivor: Charles was a threat to my clan. He was mad beyond reason.
*Richardis: And should your clan be threat to one of your neighbors, I hope God grants them the wisdom you lack. Now leave us.
Eivor left Richardis, who sobbed aloud over Charles' corpse.

==Outcome==
Eivor defeated King Charles, stopping his reign of madness and terror over Francia.
