Hello everyone I'm back with the story that I hinted at in The other Hakuno's fate (To be made), and now here it is. Just to let you all know I'm planning to do a Kingdom Hearts fanfic and I like to see if someone will take up the request that I posted in Zelretch's Request it have the conditions for the story. I might post other story request that I believe I lack the skills need to do them just. Well anyway here the story.
I own nothing Dragon age and Fate/Stay Night belong to there makers.
Light peer thru the windows of the tomb. It reveals two men by two sarcophagus one man with white hair and crimson red eyes. On his belt a jeweled short sword hangs. His over all appearance is of an aristocrat, a magus. The other man, with his long black hair wears light leather armor baring a Gryphon amulet which rests on his chest. In his hands, he holds a magnificent, 2 handed great-sword. If you to stand to close or stares to long you would feel the power of a caged beast a dragon, with untold power.
The man with the great sword steps towards one of the sarcophagus. The other man stands next to his companion and they begin to open the sarcophagus. Once lid hits the ground, the remains inside are those of a once great warrior.
The man places the great sword he carries into the hands of the once great warrior. Stepping back, the Magus gazes upon the warriors and turns his head towards his companion.
"So, this is your father. I can feel the power he once held. I am even more surprised the sword we went through so much trouble to recover has finally calmed. That spirit tried to eat me and use you as a rag doll and battered you relentlessly during your spiritual showdown with the sword." The man said in a slightly tone of voice.
His companion never took his gaze from his father's remains. "This spirit will only acknowledge my father as the true wielder of the sword. He defeated the dragon and used its ancient remains to forge the blade." the black hair man, saids in a neutral tone to his companion, his thoughts still on his father.
"True, you have told me that when we went to recover your father's sword. Because of that sword's stubbornness and he habit of taking energy from the idiot who uses it. It definitely made it easier that demon posses idiot. Remind me again what a mage is called thats posses by a demon?" The black hair man replies "We call them 'abominations', my friend you have my thanks. If not for your help I would not have found my father's blade as well defeating that madman."
The white haired man, with an amused look on his face extends his hand and they shake hands. The white haired man says "No problem my friend, think of it as payback for showing me some of the magic used by the people of these lands. Now I must take my leave. Staying much longer will cause the world to be aware of my presence."
The black hair man nods, understanding his friends plight.
"Very well my friend, before you depart I would like to give you one last gift." Using his free hand, he reach into his shirt and pulls out an amulet. In the center of the amulet is blacken blood, tainted with an unspeakable darkness. He extends his towards his friend offering the gift.
"This amulet once belonged to my father. He told me it helped him remember those who did not survive. Those who lives were sacrificed to stop a great evil. Before he died, he passed it to me. Now, I pass it to you, to also remember."
The white haired man eyes widened when offered this gift. An amused smile appears on his face he accepts the amulet. "Thank you my friend for giving me this gift since it belonged to your father. Now farewell, Kieran Cousland."
Kieran, nodding his head says "Thank you Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg."
Two hundred thirty years later...
Location: Clock Tower Zelretch's office
"Kaleidoscope, I believe I found something of yours on my last job." "One of the heretic magus had this weird staff component. After some checking I think this is yours." Said a silver hair lady, named Natalia Kaminski.
"Aw, your are right Natalia, this is mine. I lost this during my last prank on some fellow from the Archibald family. If I remember correctly I made him think he was a 5yr old girl who had a phobia towards men, and would runaway from them. I don't remember how he obtained part of Ruby, but apparently would wave it around and would hit males with it when they were foolish enough to remain to close. By the time he returned to normal, he threw it at some poor fool's face and it bounced out a window." explained Zelretch.
Natalia replies "Apparently this heretic must have found it. He was experimenting with and somehow managed to summon a failed dead apostle ghoul. For some unknown reason the dimensional ghoul is extremely weaker than ours are. So it was easy for me to dispatch it and the heretic. Since I wasn't being paid to deal with this heretic and I'm not foolish enough to sell this back to you, I believe the safest course of action for myself, would be to give this back to you in hope you be kindly give me a finders fee for it's return." she silently prays nothing bad is going to happen, especially to her.
Zelretch, strokes his beard with one hand, silently stares at Natalia debating what to do. After a short silence, Natalia begins to wonder how much longer she has to live, but manages to maintain a clam and static appearance. Finally, Zelretch lowers his hand says "Fine, Ms. Natalia I believe I have a reward for you." Reaching into his shirt he pulls out an amulet and hands it to her. Natalia stares for a few moments before cautiously accepting it.
"I have a question for you. What is amulet. It has a strange energy of sorts. Why are you giving this to me?" Natalia asked in questioning tone.
"Curious are we?" says Zelretch. "Very well Ms. Natalia, that amulet was given to me by a friend of mine who intern obtained it from his father before he passed away. The amulet contains bit of tainted blood. So do not worry the contents will not harm you or anyone else in any shape or form. The true purpose of the amulet serves to remind those the ones who have sacrificed their lives to stop a great evil. The amulet serves me to help remember all those I have befriend over my long life. Perhaps it will remind you of those you have lost along the way. Now, if you do not mind Ms. Natalia, I believe you should be on your way. I have work to do on Ruby now the missing piece is returned." Zelretch got up taking the piece of Ruby Natalia returned. Using the jeweled sword he created a portal, which he entered. The portal closed, leaving Natalia alone in his office holding the amulet.
"To remind me of those I have lost. Hmmm..." Natalia turns and leaves wearing the amulet.
Seven years Later, two weeks after the cleansing of Alimong Island.
Location: Natalia's home
"Kiritsugu." Natalia says "Come here for a moment." Shortly a small asian boy Kiritsugu Emiya, who Natalia is the guardian of enters the room.
"Yes, Natalia, what do you need?" He says.
Natalia replies, "Tell me, how are you doing now?"
He replies "I am ok, do you ask?" He is confused. Natalia, taking her eyes off of the report she is reading, looks Kiritsugu in the eyes.
"That is not what I mean" she says. "I am asking you is you were forced to kill your father two weeks ago. How are you doing?" Kiritsugu flinches as memories begin to flood him. "I am doing better, but..." He turn his eyes downward remembering all the lives lost because of his father.
Natalia took her hand and reached inside her shirt. She removes the amulet from around her neck. Then holds it up for Kiritsugu to see. Raising his eyes to look at the amulet he tits his head to get a better look at it curious, he asks Natalia "What is it?" She replies, "It was given to me so I would remember all who lives were lost. Now, I am passing it to you so it can help you remember all your loved ones who are lost and those you will lose in the future."
Kiritsugu's eyes widen before he takes the amulet, with a nob of his head he places it around his neck. "Thank you very much Natalia ." with a smile on his face. Natalia nobs her head and resumes her work.
Many years later in the Eizbern Forest a day before Kiritsugu departs for Japan and the Holy Grail War.
Kiritsugu, while playing with his daughter takes his daughter off his shoulders and puts her on the ground. He kneels down to be eye level with his daughter Illya. "Illya, both your mother and I are going away for a long while. Before we go, I want to give you this." Reaching into his shirt, he removes an amulet. He places it around Illya's neck. Illya's eyes grow wide and she smiles brightly as she stares at the amulet with wonder and excitement. Kiritsugu, with a smile and some sadness in it, then says "This was given to by someone special. She told me that this amulet was to help a person to remember all those who they lost and no longer with them. I give this to you so you can remember your mother and I while where gone." Illya, taking her eyes off the amulet, but still with a smile on her face says " Ok, papa but this does not mean you can break your promise and not come back."
Kiritsugu nods his head and with a smile tells Illya "Of course, don't worry, I will come back and the world will be a better place." With that, he picks his daughter up, place her on his shoulders and walks back to Einzbern mansion.
Little does Illya know this will be the last time she will ever see her parents.
Ten years later...
Location: Einzbern forest
Illyasviel von Einzbern walks barefoot in the snow while wearing a white dress. Around her neck still hangs the amulet, her father, Kiritsugu gave her. At the end of the 4th Grail war her father, for unknown reasouns, chose to destroy the Holy Grail. He failed tho keep his promise and did not return to her. From the stories told to her by her grandfather, her father adopted a boy from Fuyuki. His name is Shirou Emiya, and in Illya's mind he stole her father from her. For because of this, she is holding a grudge against her father for breaking his promise to her and her towards her foster brother Shirou, who she blames for making father break his promise. As Illya goes deeper into the forest finally reaching the ritual summoning site, where she must complete the summoning ceremony to bring the servant forth. The servant will help bring her both victory and vengeance in the 5th Holy Grail War.
Illy begins the chant.
"Silver and iron to the origin.
Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone.
The ancestor is my great master Schweinorg.
The alighted wind becomes a wall.
The gates in four directions close,
coming from the crown,
the tree-forked road that leads to the kingdom circulate.
Shut (fill)
Shut (fill)
Shut (fill)
Shut (fill)
Shut (fill)
Repeat every five times.
Simply,
shatter once filled.
-I
announce.
Your self is under me,
my fate(doom)is in your sword.
In accordance with the approach of the Holy Grail,
if you aid by feeling,
this reason,
then answer.
Here is my oath.
I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the dead,
I am the one who lays out all the evil of the world of the dead.
You,
seven heavens clad in three words of power,
arrive from the ring of deterrence,
O keeper of the balance
-!
Yet,
thou serves with thine eyes clouded in chaos.
Thou,
bound in the cage of madness.
I am thee who command those chains."
To call forth the servant.
With a very un-lady like smile on Illya's face she thinks as the light from the summoning circle fades ' Soon Onii-chan you will pay with Hercules at my side, you will regret taking papa away from me.' As the light dies and the smoke clears away, Illya becomes shocked and confused. The heroic spirit that stands before her is clearly not Hercules, but rather a knight of sorts. His armor crimson red, as if it has been in an inferno. On his side he bares two long swords. On his left arm is a large round shield with a Gryphon on the center. On his back, hangs a massive great sword. From what Illya can see in the servant's eyes, this servant is not from berserker class. Instead reinforced the image, that this servant is that of the saber class. Illya is both confused and irritated. She used the correct catalyst to summon Hercules and used the correct chant for the berserker class. Deciding to use her abilities as a master to look at her servant's stats. She once again is shocked when she saw the personal skills of this servant. This servant is indeed of the berserker class because he possesses the the class skill that all berserker class servants posses. 'The Mad Enchantment'. The Mad Enchantment strips the servant of higher thought processes and reasoning turning them into raging beast. In exchange for immense physical prowess. The higher the rank the enchantment, the harder it is to control the servant. What shocks Illya the rank of her servant is that of EX. Illya has never heard of a berserker with an EX before with the rank of Ex, it means that the mad enchantment her servant has is his own class altogether. Both concern and worry Illya stares at her servant. The servant reaches for one of the swords at his side and pulls it from the sheath. No sooner does he does this than a pack of wolfs enter the clearing. The servant quickly jumps into action and to kills the wolfs. In quick fluid movement he cut down one of the wolves with a horizontal slash. As another wolf charged at him from the side, when it was a foot away the armored servant he quickly use the metal shield to bash the wolf away, causing it to crash into another wolf. As another wolf rushes him from the side, he used his shield to bash the wolf aside, causing it to crash into another. Quickly, he ran his blade through both of the wolfs heads before they had time to even get up. The last three wolves charged, biting his armor. One on either of his leg and shoulder while the last one was on his side. The servant did not appear to be bothered by this. He slowly bent over crossing his arms as if he were acknowledging the pain. Suddenly, his arms jutted outwards and he started to bend backwards ever so slightly. Letting out a fierce war cry, a sudden spurt of blood escaped him, killing the last three wolves.
Lily is amazed by the sight and carefully watched the servant as his slowly turned towards her.
"I am the servant of madness. Berserker. Are thee my master?"
