Prologue: The Chosen Girl
It began when I was a little girl, an event that would haunt me for the rest of my life. The Holy Grail War…a war between chosen magus and their heroic spirits from recorded history known as Servants. The winners would have their wish granted by the Holy Grail itself. Some fought to possess it, and others to destroy it. The war is never seen by the modern world however, the organizations that oversee that the war remains secret are the Vatican, infamous for their cold and brutally efficient Executors that are sent on special assignments that pertain to magic to which they "cleanse" the location of the problem often times leaving a scorched earth devoid of life. The other organization governing the world of magic is the Magus Association, a hidden group of powerful mages that also oversee the continued secret existence of magic in the modern world. If you're a rogue magus as long as you practice behind closed doors of your own home and that it doesn't cause harm to the innocent public of the modern world they are more than happy to let you practice it.
As I said before, it all began when I was a little girl… my family is a not-so well known wealthy magus family that practice and experiment with all forms of Magecraft. At the time however was one Grail War that began our family's curse, you see my mother and father were Masters, specific magus chosen by the Holy Grail believing they carry a wish that deserves to be granted. That war however… was when I lost my humanity… my older sister and I were still children at the time when we would hear the news about my father having been defeated and killed by an enemy Servant. That was our first casualty… my mother died weeks later sacrificing herself and her Servant protecting us.
It unfortunately did not end there; all my sister Seina and I had left was our family's only successful homunculus Kai to take care of us. Ten years later another Grail War had occurred, this time with my older sister as a Master, she vowed to continue our parent's work on me to help me defend myself. When Mom and Dad were alive they decided that after they rescued me from an enemy Master they'd condition my body into harnessing a divine power. I remember my mother called it "Amaterasu's Blessing" where they had opened up all of my body's hidden magical circuits and implanted a piece of the spirit of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu inside my body. Naturally Seina continued with their work yet…just as with the last war…she died as well protecting me…me…the family's little magical super weapon.
Several more years had passed… Kai had graduated from college and was living alone in the family's summer house out in the country side; I however stayed in the main house as the last sole survivor of the family. My name is Saiya Misako, and this…this is my story.
So sorry this didn't get out sooner! I've been sick and so I couldn't find the time to really write anything anyway this is a total revised version (sort of) for the prologue of this story. I will be redoing chapter 1 as well and once that's finished I can start getting new content out so thanks so much for your patience.
