~The Knights of the Cup~
First, there was a man, made of gun powder and smoke and grief (and we can't forget the tears, many many tears ) and then came a woman, winter spirit shaped in desires and etched in the loveliness of maddened dreams (there came many more before, they never got to meet someone).They loved each other so so much. It was really beautiful.
(The forgotten little girl doesn't think so anymore)
They went to the far away land of Fuyuki to reconquer the treasure of the Lady's family : The Holy Grail. And with them went the gallant knight, with the golden hair and the summer eyes .
(She is still sleeping.I wonder if she will ever wake up…)
They were winning, but the beautiful Lady became ill and weaker and weaker until she couldn't move anymore (she was filled and filled and filled). She could just wish for her husband and the gallant knight to keep on fighting. She was smiling.
She knew she had to stay awake (Kiritsugu…Ilya…) but, she was kidnapped and the horrible man (empty, twisted man) made her fall into unconsciousness. She dreamed and dreamed of the little princess they had left behind. She was crying.
The Lady's clothes turned from their pure white to tainted black and she could move again (it was just an illusion).
She had become the Holy Grail.
Her husband wanted to save her oh so much and go back to live in the castle with their daughter, but he couldn't do it in the end. He could only ask (I order you…!) the knight (confused and betrayed) to destroy the Cup that housed the traitorous spirit (ithurtsithurtsstopit) that had taken the form of his wife (a lovely puppet).
He was cursed forever and ever.
The gallant knight returned to sleep.
They did not live happily ever after.
"The Fae are known for their illusions,no ?"
Crimson and black weaving stories of blood and murder and curling lovingly around their master.
"If so, you can consider me as one of the Fey ones and you, as my dearest entertainment (captive of the dark allure)."
The heady scent of fear and hate.
"Shall we continue ?"
An innocent smile.
