Fate/Stay Night : Endless
- Returning to Dream -
"My slumber this time…" Saber murmured, a dazed look shone in her beautiful jeweled eyes, a smile slowly playing on the tips of her lips "Might be…" her eyes lost the puzzled look, replaced by slight content and the look of having burden being lift off "… a bit of long…"
Her eyes slowly closed, the lights shone on her as she was sealed forever. A slow smile contently stayed on her lips. She was released.
She was now just a mortal soul. No longer King Arthur.
She slept on like a normal person should… as it is forever.
"Do you behold… the continuation to your dream?"
Her smile suddenly seemed to be cheered as she dozed off into pure darkness that emitted glorious light for her. Bubbly lights shone around her. With her hair down and a peaceful face with no fighting, Bedivere realized, she's now normal.
Like anyone else.
Goodbye, My King.
I believe…
It won't last forever.
-
Sakura held her bow down with a slight shy-tainted smile. She did it.
-
Ahhh! Ilya! You bursted my motorcycle!!!!!
-
Ilya seemed to feel the enormous anger from Taiga as she slipped by the slippery floor and fell down, knocking down the bucket of water in process.
-
Rin twirled her pen again and again. She didn't know. A feeling just came and she can't stop to twirl her pen.
-
Shiro's heart was beating wildly. He knew something was wrong. The sky suddenly turned dark for him as he felt the same sickening feeling attacked him.
-
Sakura's face remained shy as she shot out another arrow and held her bow down with a shy smile.
-
Taiga remained her position by jumping and yelling.
-
Ilya found out something was wrong as she knocked into the bucket the third time.
-
Rin found the teacher saying the same thing again and again. The students' movement repeated again and again.
-
Shiro noticed the cars fleeted on and suddenly, the same cars fleeted on again.
-
"Something is wrong!" Rin slammed her pen down harshly, making a loud noise in the process. Her thought was proven when the teacher rambled on with his talk as the students' didn't even notice her actions.
-
Ilya kicked the bucket out of the way as she dangerously ducked the bucket. She immediately stood up.
-
"Do not misunderstand the Holy Grail."
Cloaked in black, the person murmured softly.
-
"Something is working on. Something unusual." Rin murmured to herself. And suddenly, she laughed out loud and slammed both her hands on the table as she shot out from her chair in the process. Her chair stumbled backwards. She characteristically held out her right hand as she jabbed her left hand on her waist.
"No one is hearing me, right?"
No answer as the teacher rambled on.
"I am such a stupid." She tried her best not to roll her eyes as she shot out of the class, aiming for somebody.
Namely Emiya Shiro.
-
Ilya ran as quickly as she could. She saw some weird things on her way. People repeating their actions made her felt very, very sick. She wondered where Shiro would go to, and chuckled.
Of course, to the school! She thought as she took a turn into a dark alley, knowing the shortcut.
Suddenly, she stopped right on her tracks.
"Berserker!"
-
"Trace, on."
He didn't know how he did it. He just cycled his way back home to bump into an angered Rin, pointing at his nose with her usual pose. He wondered if she will ever to learn from her habit.
"Shiro, you're late." She murmured murderously, frowning as she saw the new bicycle that was started with engine yet still can be cycled.
"Talk about the time." Shiro muttered, letting the ridiculous bicycle disappear.
"You should know something is wrong."
With that, Rin added bitterly "Ilya is not here."
-
"Berserker?" Ilya called out, looking at the gigantic beast.
No.
She realized something when she saw herself.
A white cloak covered her eyes, blood running down as a wide smile hung on her face. She was touching Berserker, who had an unusually gentle expression while slight rain poured down. In the middle of the forests, the summon was completed.
"Oh."
Solemnly, Ilya had her eyes shone in murderous red as tears poured down.
-
"Ilya?" Shiro slammed the door of his store room open, eyes scanning for the girl. Rin quietly fanning herself beside him, whispering that she had searched for every place.
Shiro's eyes widened when he saw something. An unusually familiar scene.
"Saber!?"
Rin's eyes shot open as she peered into the room, wondering if it's Shiro's imagination.
And she saw Shiro.
No, how should she put it? She saw Saber and Shiro.
Both of Shiro's hands were supporting himself as he lied on the floor, staring at Saber in front of him. He was bleeding badly.
Saber.
The beautiful warrior stood in glory, emerald jeweled eyes shone like no one else. Her eternal beauty lightened the darkness, as bubbly lights surrounded them. Both stared into each other's depth.
"May I ask, are you my Master?"
It isn't a coincidence that the two of us have met
It was a destiny decided long ago
Rin rubbed her eyes to see a wide-eyed Shiro standing right beside her, staring at this pair.
"Saber…"
-
She didn't know.
Why?
Ilya's tears poured down as she felt the rain hit her skin slightly, the slight rain.
So familiar. This scene…
She was breathless. Suffocating in darkness, she gasped in air as she slowly dropped down. Her eyes! She can't see as the darkness poured over her, blinding her vision and slowly pulling her into unlimited darkness that left her in unspeakable content.
She never knew Darkness would be so comforting.
-
Rin left Shiro alone after he fainted. She knew somebody was plotting it.
Who?
-
He felt so comforting. In darkness, unlimited darkness, the beauty of the darkness startled him, yet he had peace.
Now he can't move on his life, since he had seen her.
The face, the eyes, the expression…
So real, yet so unreal.
Saber.
I can't taint you.
I can't.
I must move on.
Saber.
I love you.
Forever and always.
-
Rin sat down gracefully while taking her tea cup up, nearing her lips.
Archer.
Her hands froze in the midair, as she stared.
The scene appeared, and the same scene that always haunted her in her dreams.
Leaning on a pile of rocks, the body full of strength, eyes that always held mischievous glint, lips that curved up in slight play-boy style in the favor of laughing Rin. The mocking laughter inside his eyes burned through Rin's eyes.
Archer.
"Looks like I got another scary Master."
Rin.
The Rin beside her had a slight frown, very slight in disappoint of not getting Saber, the legendary Knight as her Servant.
"I never regretted I get you." Rin muttered, her tea cup smashed against the carpet.
Both remained their positions.
She felt dizzy. What's the matter?
Ilya.
She saw the scene of her first summon too?
She fainted?
"That guy, he is still fighting."
"Rin."
Rin fell down, her eyes upon Archer.
Darkness.
So comforting.
-
Sakura knew something was wrong. After all, she's a descendant from a magical bloodline.
She shot an arrow at a board, and the students clapped and applauded.
Why!?
She dropped her bow in fear, and quickly sprinted out.
Senpai!!
Rin…!
-
"Ilya!" Sakura gasped as she saw Ilya lying down motionlessly, her clothes were wet and dirty as streaks of tears present on her face.
"Please wait." She muttered, pulling her up and slowly dragging her body to walk.
"I'll get you home."
-
Do you want to leave this place? Ilya?
So comforting.
No.
I don't want to leave.
Stay?
But I have Shiro in house, I have Taiga, I have Raiga, I have Sakura-nee-san to make me breakfast.
Stay?
I have memories of Berserker.
I have anything there.
I don't want to stay.
-
"Ilya, you have awoken!" Sakura smiled as Ilya opened her eyes, looking around dazedly.
"Where's Shiro?" She murmured, pulling herself out of the bed.
"I found senpai sleeping in his room." Sakura said, blinking, "Want to have Dinner?"
"Dinner?"
"Yes." She smiled, "Dinner."
"Yes please!" Ilya chirped happily.
"Ilya, you have awoken!"
What the…
"I found senpai sleeping in his room."
"Want to have dinner?"
"Yes. Dinner."
Ilya finally understood. Sakura was controlled by the time refresher. Even she's from a magical bloodline.
She flung the mattress over Sakura's head, knocking her down as Ilya ran down the hall to Shiro's room.
-
"You are my scabbard, Shirou."
"As your sword…"
"Shirou…"
Saber.
Your voice… so near… yet so far.
-
Ilya blocked her eyes from the blinding light emitted from the lion doll.
When she opened her eyes, she saw something she never, ever going to believe.
Saber.
-
Come back.
I can't lose you.
But you're so pure.
I can't taint you.
Saber.
I love you.
Because I do.
I have no choice but to let you go.
Come back.
I regretted it.
Yet I have no regrets.
Come back, Saber.
I love you.
No parting.
Can I choose?
I want us together.
Forever and always.
Come back to me.
I am your scabbard.
I am your home.
Let us unite.
Saber.
-
I have responded to you, Shirou.
I have.
I come back.
To fulfill something I desired for.
Let us unite.
Fulfill our destiny.
Our Fate.
Stay at Night.
Our dreams.
Stay at Night.
Fate/Stay Night.
… I finally have seen the continuous to my dream…
