Prologue

Post 5th Grail war

I sometimes recall the fight.

The cry of identical blades clashing together under the evening sun.

My attacks were clumsy and immature, it wasn't so much as sword fighting as it was just swinging the blades as hard as I can…and yet…

I was able to match HIM blow for blow…

It's been a month now…

Exactly one month since the Holy Grail was vanquished from this earth…

It feels as if it was only yesterday that Saber, Tosaka and I were able to stop Gilgamesh.

I will never forget those two weeks that changed my life forever.

Not a day passes where I don't wonder what caused HIM…Archer, the future Shiro Emiya to become so cynical and bitter…to the point where his only goal was to kill me, in order to spare me the despair my ideals would cause.

And Saber…although Tosaka told me Saber left on a happy note, I still yearn to see her one more time so I can thank her for everything she has done for me.

I have no regrets, the war changed me so much for the better. I feel that I have grown so much as a person, my resolve to become a hero is still strong, however Archer has made me realize the fine line between ideals and reality and for that I am thankful. And most important of all, I have the heart of my love, Rin Tosaka, and together we can move forward, the war has ended, but for us, it is only the beginning.

Well what you think? Should I continue? R&R
