PROLOGUE 2

Fuyuki City, Japan, Alternate Reality, February 2009

Ilyasveil von Einzbern-Emiya, carrying some shopping bags, was walking up the familiar road that led to the Emiya residence. She was the only who lived there now, but her home was once the liveliest place in her memory, where her family once lived. But they are gone now.

Formerly a homunculus, created for the sole purpose of being the vessel for the Holy Grail, her brother, (although not by blood), Shirou Emiya, sacrificed himself to save her from her fate. Her brother performed a complex ritual, and succeeded in lengthening her growth and life span. Although Ilya's mind was of a nineteen year old, her true physical age became that of a 10-year old (her body already looked like that of a ten year old), growing at a normal pace. However, the price for this was that Shirou ceased to exist. He transferred his soul's essence and strength to Ilya, and all that remained which reminded Ilya of her brother are his abilities and Reality Marble, which now belonged to her.

Four years passed. The Holy Grail became a grave threat, so Ilya, along with her friends and allies, set out to destroy it. In the end they succeeded. The Grail was completely and utterly destroyed, with no hope of returning. The world was safe from it now, no more Holy Grail Wars, peace was at hand. However, Ilya was more unhappy than before.

She was now all alone. Everyone she ever cared for was now dead. Shirou, Rin, Sakura, Fuji-nee, Saber, all of them died as a result of the ensuing battle. She tried her best to save everyone. Even though she hated her father, she loved her brother and continued to pursue the ideals which he sought. All she wanted, however, was simply to protect her friends and family, the people she cared for the most, but she failed miserably.

As Ilya was contemplating on these thoughts, a portal of some kind appeared, and, in her distracted state, Ilya did not notice until it was too late. The fifteen year old girl was flung into it. Although the Grail was completely destroyed, some traces of its power seemed to have remained, and it appeared to have resonated with the young girl's thoughts.

The girl was sucked into it, and was thrown out of the portal, on top of a young, hook-nosed, raven-black-haired teenager.
