Hey guys, so this is my first Fate/Stay Night Story I write so please, bare with me. The storyline takes place, as you see in the first lines, after Shiro's era. There will be different masters but familiar Servants.
Love will certainly not bloom from the first chapter. No, it will take some time for my OC and Gilgamesh to get together or at least... be more... let's say friendly with each other.
Also, I might changed slightly the past of a few characters so I can add my OC in it but don't worry. The changes are barely visible and actually, I think they make all more interesting. Confusing, I know, but you will see in due time.
Last two things,
1) I don't know when I am going to update due to my busy scedule but I will try my best. Also,, don't forget to check my other stories too.
2) I own nothing minus my OCs. All the other characters belong to their prepsective owner(s).
It has been almost 100 years since Shiro Kotomine destroyed the Holy Grail War and everyone thought that it was gone forever. However, a few months after his death; the grail was revived in England; by who, though, was still a mystery.
Soon, 7 masters were chosen by it and most of them had already summoned or were preparing to summon their servants for the new Grail War.
In the basement of a castle like cottage/house around 2 hours away from London, in the middle of a green valley, preparations had already begun.
The basement was old, made from stone but quite spacious. Torches and candles were on the walls, giving their light to the dark place while bookcases were stuffed with books at almost every side of the stone room.
A wooden desk was in one corner and different papers and old textbooks were on it while the candle that had been lighten up was still burning; it wax staining the old wood,
In the middle of the room, a young woman was kneeling. She had nice tall legs but her form was quite petite, making her stand around 164 cm in height; something unusual for women of that era. She had long white hair that was tied up in a ponytail, pale skin and blood red eyes.
She wore a simple pair of light blue jeans, a plain white shirt and white-red snickers. She was busy painting of what looked like a mystic or summoning circle by using red blood paint.
A few feet behind her, leaning on the stone wall was a muscular, tall man with brown messy hair and brown beard. A not lighten cigar was held between his teeth as his jet black eyes observed the young girl.
He seemed to be in his mid-thirties if not forties and wore black cargo pants and a black shirt. On top of it wore a leather brown coat that made him look twice as muscular and black army boots.
A little bit on his right, stood a young man with golden hair and red slit eyes that seemed to shine under the light of the torches and candles. He wore black pants, a white shirt and a black leather coat accompanied by black shoes.
"All done", the girl exclaimed as she stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead and took a few steps back. "The summoning circle is complete"
"It was about time", the man said, annoyance hearable in his voice.
"I would have finished earlier if you had helped me, you know" the girl said as she went to one of the bookcases and pulled a book, only to reveal a hidden small room.
She went inside and came out a second later with a wooden box. The door to the room closed automatically as she made her way towards the older man. With curiosity, the two men looked at the box as she opened it.
Inside was a sharp, way bigger than normal fang. It size was almost ¾ of the girls hand in length and even though it was old, it tip still looked like it could puncture bones and stones.
"What is this?", the golden haired man asked as he went to touch it but the girl quickly pulled the box away from him.
"My catalyst… the last ever found Dragon tooth", she replied and caused the young man to scoff.
"Dragons? Seriously?", he asked/stated and looked at the older man, in hope that he would agree with him but he didn't.
"Will it work?", he asked, completely ignoring the blond.
"Of course it will", the girl replied as she turned her body and walked in the middle of the circle. She carefully grabbed the white sharp fang and threw the box to the other side of the room. Then, she placed it at the middle of the circle and took her position out of it.
She grabbed a pocket knife that she had in her jeans pocket and sliced her palm before closing the eyes. The first droplets of blood landed on the circle and she quickly started the enchantment.
Let silver and steel be the essence.
Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation
Let my great Master Einzbern be the ancestor
Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall
Let the four cardinal gates close.
Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate.
I hereby declare.
Your body shall serve under me.
My fate shall be your sword.
Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail
If you will submit to this will and this reason…Then answer!
An oath shall be sworn here!
I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven.
I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell!
From the Seventh Heaven, attended to by three greet words of power,
Come forth from the ring of restraints,
Protector of the Holy Balance!
The circle had come to life and had started to glow a bright red. Mist and a powerful aura seemed to come from it. The moment the girl finished the enchantment, a powerful blast of energy pushed all 3 of them back and a blind red light blocked their vision.
After a few seconds, the light and the aura disappeared. The trio blinked and waited for their vision to adjust. As it did, they saw a figure standing in the middle of the circle. The circle around her was on fire and her shadow seemed like the shadow of a beast, more specifically of a dragon.
It was a woman, wearing medieval leather brown pants and shirt, accompanied by white fur. She stood all, her muscled arms and stomach visible on her pale skin. Her hair were red like the fire around her and her eyes a beautiful amber that gave the impression that they held a real flame behind them.
Needless to say, the woman was indeed beautiful and from her aura; deadly. After the second of shocked passed by, her eyes adverted to the young blond male, to the older and then to the young albino girl who stood her height; even though she was shorter than the heroic spirit in front of her.
"Are you my master?", she asked, voice full with command that would make any man to kneel in front of her. It was obvious that she was a leader, from the way she stood to the way she spoke; she gave the aura of a true leader.
"Indeed I am", the girl said as she raised her hand and showed the red markings on the back of her palm. "My name is Annasviel Einzbern"
"I am Fenice, Dragon Queen and Queen of England and from now, I will be your servant in this war", she replied as she raised her right hand, made it fist and placed it on top of her heart.
"Now that the whole introduction is over, tell us about your abilities, Dragon Queen", the man said as he took a few steps forward, the deadly yellow eyes of the female not affecting him at all.
"And who you might be to command me to do such a thing?"
"This is Julius, he will be our ally in this war and the man at the wall is his servant, Gilgamesh", the girl said.
"You forgot the title King, you mongrel!", Gilgamesh snapped and took a step forward only for Fenice to do the same; ready to defend her master.
"Gilgamesh that's enough! We are allies and last thing we want is you two to fight", Julius said.
'Don't worry, you will in the end but for now behave!', he telepathically continued the sentence and the servant let out a 'Hn' of irritation before folding his hands in front of his chest and lean on the stone wall.
"Tell us now Fenice, what is your class in this war and what is your noble phantasm?"
"I am summoned as Rider in this War and my noble phantasm is what gave me this class. My loyal dragon, Lug"
"And what else can you do?", Julius asked/
"I am a fire mage and also a close and long distant fighter when it comes to weapon. My archery skills is in what I excel but I am able to defend myself when and if it comes to close combat"
"What about your dragon, queen?", Gilgamesh was the one to ask next, emphasizing the word queen but the woman decided to overlook that.
"When he is summoned, my power is doubled and our combination is flawless. However, it will demand a lot of chakra to summon and to be sustained in this world. He can take damage as long as you and I provide him with enough mana. If your mana is low, he will disappear", she replied while looking at the young girl.
"Thankfully, we will not have to worry about that", she said and was grateful for the magic circuits that had been forced into her when she was a child.
"However, I want to make one thing clear"
"What is it?"
"I don't kill children and I will not feed on them. Grown up people, men mostly and only if you use a command seal"
"There will be no need for that. I hate the idea myself and I would never force it to you", the girl replied and Fenice gave a ghost smile only to quickly vanish by Gilgamesh's laughter.
"What about him? He knows about me and therefore it is only fair, as allies to know about him"
"Well, if you so want to learn queen, I am Gilgamesh! King of heroes! Archer in this war and my gate of Babylon is my power and what makes me unbeatable!", the blond boasted as he took a few steps forward.
"Nothing is unbeatable. Especially not you", Fenice replied and caused the ego maniac to greet his teeth and death glare at her but the dragon queen didn't even flinch.
"Enough about this!", Julius said, already irritated from their small conflict.
"I agree. It has been a tiring day and the War is about to begin. Julius, now that you have everything you need return to your home and we will discuss about battle strategy the following days. Until then, do your job and gather as much information as you can", Annasviel said in a bossy tone that surprised he female sevant.
"Don't worry. Nothing escapes me and my familiars. You will have your information soon enough", the man said as he started to walk towards the stairs that led to the main part of the house with Gilgamesh close behind him.
They all left the basement behind, the fire on the circle had already died and the candles too. They made their way towards the main door, a big wooden one that fitted with the medieval style of the house.
Anna opened the door and with a nod of her head, she let their allies exit the room and made their way towards a jeep that was parked a few feet in front of the house. The moment they were in the car, she closed the door; leaned on it and left out a sigh.
"Not easy to be the boss huh?", Fenice said as she folded her hands in front of her chest.
"Nope, not at all… I really don't know how you were able to do it"
"Practice", was all the heroic spirit said.
"Come on, let me show you to your room"
"My room? Master, with all the respect I believe it would be better if I stayed at the same room with you"
"Don't worry Fenice, my room is right next to yours and there are enchantments all over the house. If anyone or anything try to enter, you will be the first one to notify me. Plus, I know that you will keep me safe… I trust you", the albino said and caused the servant to stop dead on her tracks.
With wide amber eyes she looked at the young girl. The memory of a blond woman flashed into her mind and the same words echoed into her mind.
"I know that you will keep me safe. I trust you Fenice"
"Fenice?", Anna asked and snapped her fingers in front of the frozen servant's face.
"Forgive me but I spaced out"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah", she replied as they climbed the stairs to the second floor and stopped in front of one of the many wooden doors.
"This is going to be your room and mine is right next to it. Fresh clothes are already in the wardrobe and the bathroom is right across from the room. If you need anything, don't be afraid to knock on my door"
"Thank you master… You are very kind", Fenice replied, touched by the girls kindness.
"I don't see why I shouldn't be. I may be your master but you are also my friend", she replied before made her way towards the main floor. "If you need me, I will be at the office"
