It's not like I wanted the weird masters. I was a problem magnet in life and I suppose that was a trait I couldn't shake when I became a Servant. Lucky me. Don't take it the wrong way, I found it amusing that all of my masters have been female but they were so drastically different it was a major adjustment. One was so stubborn it seemed like we would never get anything done. The other was so lost and scatter brained that I held no hopes of making it past the first round.
Boy, was I wrong.
It's an interesting thing to note that I met a version of my former master, but it had little impact on the relationship between my current Master and myself. As long as you overlook the annoying conversation we had about my taste in women, that is. She was a little too curious for her own good.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't slightly impressed with her growth. She managed to beat and gain strength and knowledge from every Elimination Battle she won. At first, she seemed like a hopeless case and I was almost certain we would lose in the first round, ending my contract with the nameless magus. Yet somehow she overcame that worthless Shinji and managed to beat every opponent that came after.
Of course, you can't overlook her lack of emotional control and compassion that she often showed to her enemies. In the third week, it was hard to get her to take the little girl and her Servant seriously. She even risked her life and mine to save a potential enemy. I swear, if she was a normal human she would've been dead before the start of the Grail War.
And yet…
I found myself going along with her childish acts. I found myself smiling at the tiniest accomplishment that she had achieved. I found myself becoming fiercely protective of the nameless magus with no past and no memories. She was similar to me in that aspect. Although I am hailed as a Legendary Spirit, many do not know my name or my story. Maybe that's why I heeded her call when she had beckoned. I saw a little bit of myself in her. Not that I would ever admit that out loud to her. She probably wouldn't understand anyway.
This War couldn't last forever and soon my Master was the lone survivor, save for Rin Tousaka whom she had saved. She was faced with one more obstacle before she could have her wish granted and she fought more viciously than ever against the corrupted doctor. There was only a hint of pity in her eyes as she watched him disintegrate and become nothing but a memory. She wasted no time and quickly ascended the stairs into the Moon Cell. I followed her almost instinctively and was present as she discovered her true identity. I can't be certain, but I think she was relieved to know she wasn't just a bunch of ones and zeroes. Even though she knew she would be deleted, she was smiling at me. I couldn't help but smile back. Out of all the people my Master could have been, I'm glad it was her.
