Ep. 3: Misunderstandings and New Alliances

Bridging Divides for a Common Cause

The three travelers from the future—Selene, the succubus, Faustus, the paranormal scholar, and Pope Benedict—arrive in the sixth century, where they are met with suspicion. Galahad is especially wary, trusting only Pope Benedict due to their shared Christian faith. Denisha, the demigoddess, insists that clues to finding the Grail lie not only within Christian tradition but also within other faiths and ancient practices.

As tensions rise, Pope Benedict seeks common ground, recounting the story of the Good Samaritan to remind Galahad of Jesus’ message of compassion toward those who were culturally and religiously different. Meanwhile, Faustus offers a perspective on religious syncretism, explaining that the blending of spiritual traditions has existed since the dawn of time. Around the campfire, he reminds Galahad that dismissing allies because of their differences only weakens their mission.

With this wisdom, Galahad begins to reconsider his stance. Though the newcomers may have conflicting ideologies and practices, they all share the same goal: to protect the Grail. This realization strengthens the group, forging a tentative but essential alliance.
