I do not own Fate stay night and shenanigans.
Thanks everyone for reading my newb fic :) in regards to to your question Kiyomaro-kun, Shirou was just unconscious, Rin pendant had fixed the injury in his heart and any other kind of damage Shirou may have suffered was being healed by Avalon as Saber was carrying his sorry ass all the way to the intersection :)
Sorry it I wasn't clear about that, will try to put a little more attention to the details.
Chapter 2: Filling the void.
Part 1. Whispers in the Darkness
?/?/?
Nothingness, it was a place devoid of all sense, of all rules, nothing could be seen, nothing could be done and nothing could be heard, no that wasn't true at all, he could hear, but he was unable to process the sounds, he knew the sounds were there, but didn't know what to make of them.
It was hard to grasp how long he had been trapped in the darkness with nothing else in that world besides the whispers, he wanted to find something else, something besides those worthless whispers, but it was always a fruitless task; he couldn't identify anything only darkness and the whispers, he may as well be bathed in complete darkness and solitude for all eternity; knowing that there was something beyond, something that could never be reached made him feel… feel?
'What is to feel?'
The feeling… Yes, it made him feel powerless, like knowing something was happening and he was unable to do anything.
'what is feeling unable to do anything?'
That is the concept of powerlessness, like being frozen or immobilized.
'Immobilized?'
Being unable to move
'what is moving?'
Movement is an act of changing physical location or to change in place or position.
'You lost me'
You don't know anything
'What is to know?'
To perceive or understand
'What are those?'
To learn new things, you need to perceive and understand them.
'To learn…'
Something had changed in the world he knew, someone else was in there now, he couldn't understand most of the things the other said, but...
'To learn I have to… memorize'
'To memorize… I have to listen'
'To listen I have to focus'
Slowly the world around him began to expand, new words began to give sense to the endless whispers and as the whispers turned into words he could recognize, he began to understand, and for the first time he could truly learn.
The kid woke up in a white room, at first he couldn't understand anything about his situation, he just felt this place was safe, other kids cried words he couldn't understand, but those cries where not like the cries of the fire, nothing was like that fire, and as such this place was safe.
After a few days he could remember many things, but nothing specific, he could understand Japanese, He knew how to do basic math, but his core was hollow, he couldn't remember anything of his own past, nothing but his name, the doctors guessed he had suffered a psychological trauma because of the fire, but they were wrong, he had died, whoever he was before was no more and only "Shirou" remained.
Adults came and went; he never truly understood why they worked so hard for him, talking with him, telling him things would get better; he had ignored many, he didn't deserve their worries, nor their kindness.
Sometime later a man came with a wrinkled coat and uncombed hair, he wasn't like the Doctors or the Nurses, his clothes weren't the usual white or pink, but the kid recognized him, it was the man that had saved him, the man with the bright smile.
"Hello, you must be Shirou-kun"
The kid was shaken back to reality as he remembered the day he was saved.
"I'll ask you directly. With would you prefer? To go to an orphanage or to go with this man you have never seen before?
The kid knew that was a lie, because he did remember him, the man with the bright smile, is true that he knew little about the stranger, but he knew even less about the orphanage.
With a raspy voice that hadn't been used much the kid asked the man if perhaps he was a relative of his; perhaps that was the reason this man had saved him.
"No, Shirou-kun, I am just a stranger"
The kid was happy that a stranger had done so much for him and even offered to be his parent, but he also felt the world was being a little unfair, still the man seemed to need him just as much as that day, so of course the kid agreed to live with him
"I see that's good. Get ready quickly then. You should get used to your new place as fast as you can"
The guy started to pack the few things that the kid had, mostly gifts from people he never meet, and others the nurses had given him personally, the man doing the packing wasn't very good and after making a mess.
"Oh, I forgot to mention something important.
I have to tell you one thing before you come with me.
Is that Okay?"
The kid nodded slowly with sharp eyes showing he was paying attention.
"Yeah. To start off with, I am a magus"
The main said those words with a serious tone and as a child that was almost a blank he couldn't do anything but believe him.
"Wow, you are awesome"
And then both the kid and the man left the hospital, no doctor stopped them, no one asked questions, the man just left with a bag full of clothes in a messy order and a kid that could do nothing but smile and stare at the man that had saved him.
Since that day, the Kid became his child, and the man became his father, Emiya Kiritsugu would often retell that day with a smile on his face like it was one of the best days of his life and Shirou Emiya would always listen intently because it was a very important day for him as well.
'Memories...'
'The Whispers are memories'
He could see in the darkness now, he was sitting in a small grassy hill surrounded by darkness and the whispers came from a pair of mirror like windows that were right in front of him, showing him things he had never seen before.
One showed a little Kid with red hair called Shirou Emiya and his little life, while the other was clouded, confused and showed a lonely man that was never understood, a person that fought and always stood alone in a hill of fallen blades.
He could listen the whispers now, he could actually see the whispers as memories and so he did, and with each new memory he watched the world around him distorted and changed.
Part 2. Puppet Master
02/02/2004
The night had been going from bad to worse for Rin Tohsaka, she had been almost killed by Lancer, she had to watch her Emiya almost die, using both a command spell and her pendant to keep him alive and now she almost had all her od drained from her and fell to the floor with a thud and as she did Shirou Emiya moved closer to the Albino as if nothing had happened.
"Rin!"
"Seems like we can't cut your connection to Saber to weaken her, or the girl is going to bear the drain of two servants, what a troublesome situation"
As the Albino stopped talking, Shirou Emiya stopped next to a stop sign with glassed eyes, and picked it as if the thing wasn't supposed to be nailed to the pavement.
"You! What have you done to my master"
"She got drained when little Shirou stopped sending Prana to Saber, is really that hard to understand?"
The white haired woman then addressed the blue haired one wearing the green dress.
"Dear do take a look at the girl and see if her life is in danger, it would be terrible to find a person worthy of being my daughter only to inadvertently cause her dead"
The woman previously identified as Medea, glared at the girl now resting on the sidewalk for a few seconds and then muted a few words under her breath in a language no one there could understand and made Rin shine for a second if only slightly.
"The girl is out of danger mas- mother..."
The Albino sighed with a sense of relief and then focused her eyes on the group exerting even more pressure than before.
Archer couldn't understand the situation, but Saber knew the woman was telling the truth about the drain, she had felt the connection to her master (and his overflowing prana) close for a few seconds and as a result the one with the girl opened completely trying to give her as much energy as her master did, however she already had another servant so the drain must have been tremendous, the girl must be a great magus to support both servants and not outright die; but her connection to her master was active again, so the girl should be out of danger now, still with the girl drained and her master in a trance... No things didn't look good at all.
As if to interrupt Saber thoughs her master transformed the stop sign into a pair of long swords and gave one to the Albino.
"Thanks dear"
Archer keen mind was already at work trying to understand the situation, Rin had been incapacitated, almost drained for some reason, and Shirou Emiya was obviously under some sort of compulsion spell and a very strong one at that, taking that into account and the obvious mind reading capabilities, the 'woman' had strong mind related mysteries... And she had admitted as much a few minutes earlier...
"Tsh, what a troublesome opponent"
"You are correct in part Archer, I can mind read all of you to some extent, some are easier than others for obvious reasons"
That was troublesome for more than one reason, and if the woman was a combat capable person or held more offensive mind related mysteries...
Things looked bad for Rin Tohsaka as she watched her dear Emiya move unnaturally closing the distance he had walked to give the white haired woman the sword he had made. Archer was right the woman would be a very troublesome opponent, as such she had to do something, either to stall the battle to regain more energy or to stop it altogether, thus she slowly raised herself from the ground and began to speak.
"If you are really Emiya-kun mother and you can read our minds then why are you controlling Emiya-kun like that?"
The Albino snorted heavily her expression changing to mild amusement.
"Girl, I know the rules of the game you want to play, the game my dear son is involved now, he isn't a combat magus, his condition is very special, and requires supervision.
I can't let him participate"
Then the woman looked sadly at her servant, the blue haired woman in a green dress standing besides her.
"And I decided to take Medea as my daughter to protect her from this game.
I am fighting to protect my family"
And with that said, and breaking all logic both humans charged at the servants while servant Caster acted as support.
Part 3. Circumstances
02/02/2004
The situation was surreal to Rin Tohsaka, the pair of strange women turned out to be a pair of a servant and something... Yes something was the only words to describe the creature that claimed to be Emiya mother; while the servant was obviously of the Caster class and represented no danger to the fabled magic resistance of the Saber class, that was only if the servant fought the fabled Saber class to begin with, and that wasn't the case; one would expect the servant to quickly join the battle to deal with Saber and save her human master from the slaughter, but that would only be the case if Saber had been fighting a human, and clearly that wasn't quite the case, so instead Caster was solely focused on Shirou. Rin also wanted to focus on him, but the sound of metal clashing with eachother on the other side of the street was too distracting.
Clank! Ding! Clank!
Saber moved with elegance with her strong blows, but all of them were parried without difficulty by the 'human' woman she was fighting, and the counter attacks of the woman however few they were would always cause a minor injury; what kind of monster of a human could fight a Saber on their own game and not turn into a bloody mess in seconds? What kind of monster was that woman.
Clang!
Crash!
Crash!
The sounds of exploding pavement allowed her to take her eyes off the unreal fight between the females only to see Shirou Emiya a puppet of his former self swing his long sword wildly breaking everything in his path...
No that woman cannot be a monster in human form as that would mean that her love interest currently fighting Archer wasn't a human either. Everything had gone to hell when that Aria was completed, that bitch had done something to her... Friend some sort of spell that turned him into a puppet, or something similar, she had to do something or she would lose something important tonight one way or the other; but what? She was drained, with enough energy for her simplest spells at best and those wouldn't be enough, in this state even a command spell would be mostly useless and she wasn't going to use it to kill HIM of all people.
"Archer, please try to break the compulsion spell!"
Archer couldn't answer her back, he actually couldn't take his eyes out of his opponent, Archer was very surprised no that word wasn't enough for his situation, he was overwhelmed in strenght, and not by a servant, but by Shirou Emiya of all people, every slash had a great deal of force behind it, if the broken pavement and walls weren't enough to prove this, the chipped Kashou and Bakuya certainly were... if not for the difference in skills and battle experience Archer would had taken damage already.
Archer was surprised, Shirou was using a twohanded long sword created with Alteration with no special traits to talk about, other than the massive amount of prana flowing through it like a river, it was a much inefficient form of reinforcement that wasted a lot of prana, but no one couldn't deny the results, if he was doing the same to his own body... Well that would explain many things, still those were good news, Shirou never had high od reserves as a magus and he wasn't using the ambient mana at all so he would run dry soon... Or not; Archer cursed every second as he had to work hard to dodge the berserker like attacks that became slightly faster and stronger than the ones before, he wanted to kill the annoyance in front of him and be done with it, but that would certainly be the end of Rin and he wasn't ready to do that yet, also he had to admit that he wasn't sure he could pull it off without resorting to his deadlier more secret weapons. Too many variables had been thrown his way and he needed to think carefully before doing anything drastic.
And as if to tell him his time was running out, he saw Shirou Emiya use alteration and change his long sword, into two shorter ones that could be clones of his own, if not for the lack of the traits that made them noble phantams, imperfect copies done with alteration instead of projection, but that wasn't the last surprise, the last one was to watch his opponent imitate his battle posture almost flawlessly.
"Now that is problematic"
The berserk like charge of Shirou Emiya had stopped and Archer own style of fighting had taken its place, so many openings in that stance, all of them traps.
Saber was initially shocked to see the fake Irisviel charge recklessly at her, but as time went on she began to feel she was the one out matched, the fake Irisviel was flawless, she exploited all openings, ignored all feints and parried or dodged all blows, Archer was right, fighting someone that can read your mind is troublesome, the best way to win under a situation like that was to overwhelm the opponent, but that was impossible as the white haired albino was just as fast and strong as her for some unknown reason, so the only way Saber could win was to use an attack that couldn't be dodged, parried or prevented, and she didn't have anything like that, outlasting her opponent was unlikely as she was the only one taking damage, that until the sword on the woman broke apart losing whatever was holding it together.
Saber could have exploited the turn of the events, she could kill her opponent easily now that she had no weapon to protect herself, but still she couldn't do it, Saber couldn't let it end, that woman was a vivid copy of Irisviel, if only in appearance, there must be some sort of connection.
Her musings stopped as a voice she had yet to hear broke the silence of the night.
"I feel strange.
Huh… who are you?"
Archer was taken by surprise as Shirou addressed him with a tone that indicated he had just woken up.
The boy was looking around, dropping the pair of swords he had created mere seconds ago
"Where are we?... Tohsaka?"
And Archer was even more surprised when Shirou completely ignored him and ran to the side of the drained Tohsaka that was visibly barely capable of standing.
"Tohsaka, are you alright?"
Tohsaka couldn't understand what had happened, but the compulsion had been broken and her Shirou was back, the overflow of prana was there, the command seal was there and the crest was there, but more important than anything else, the shine in his eyes was there, those eyes that made her-
Her musings were swiftly interrupted by the Albino that claimed to be Shirou mother
"Oh dear, you woke up!"
"mmother, what is going on?"
The Albino signaled Saber that the fight was over and ignoring the still confused regal blonde addressed her son.
"You lost control again Shirou, but this time you regained your consciousness fairly quickly, something must have had a positive effect in you"
"I lost it again?"
"Yes, you almost died and went wild... speaking of which, who tried to kill you?"
"I don't know... I was at the school fixing the bows on the Archery club when I heard some sort of battle in the distance and a guy wearing something blue, with a blood red spear…"
Shirou quickly and nervously looked down towards his chest looking for a hole that wasn't there and for the first time his golden brown eyes focused on the Aquamarine ones of the girl he was holding, causing her to react with a deep blush.
The Albino focused her eyes on Tohsaka again and then continued
"So Lancer tried to kill you, Shirou"
"Who?"
The Albino couldn't help but sigh in either relief or sorrow
"Enough of that, let's go home Shirou, I want to check your condition at home, and that girl you hold is involved in something very dangerous.
Its better to stay clear and don't involve yourself with her for now"
Rin was quick on the uptake this time.
"You attacked us first!"
The golden brown eyes of Shirou looked deeply into the Aquamarine ones again, and as they did the girl couldn't help but to make an affirmative nod and as she did the golden brown eyes left her and focused on the black ones of his mother.
"Why did you attack my friend?"
The Albino was clearly not amused by the act of disobedience.
"She was taking you to her base not aware of your condition-
"Doesn't matter.
She saved my life"
The woman got visibly mad for the first time and continued.
"She is the one that placed you in danger to begin with!"
"Doesn't matter.
Besides I promised to help her"
This time it was Rin Tohsaka the one shaken, she clearly didn't remember something like that happening that night.
"You!"
The Albino stopped took a deep breath and then continued.
"Very well, you may help her a bit, and as you trust her so much that you are willing to put your life in danger for her, tell her about your condition, but only her and the blonde, the guy cannot be trusted with your secrets"
The Albino began to walk towards servant Caster and as she did-
Saber had to know, the woman that was like Irisviel even if only in appearance, they were so much alike that there must have been some sort of connection, coincidences, true coincidences didn't exist, not with events as closed off from the rest of the world as the grail war was.
"I must know your name"
The Albino looked at Saber and ignoring her completely addressed the servant wearing the green dress.
"Medea, we are leaving"
Medea opened her mouth as if trying to find a reason to disagree, but as she couldn't do so, nodded and-
"You may call me Eira"
Both disappeared out of thin air.
The group had taken a few minutes on that street, Saber had finally introduced herself to her confused master and his own master drilled the young man with questions about his mother and himself, questions the young man said he would only answer in a safe place, and as such they all continued their way towards the Tohsaka residence, with Shirou and Rin exchanging places as Saber carried Rin on her back while Shirou walked next to her. Archer had told them he would take a vantage point on the roofs to act as a guard so they wouldn't be taken by surprise again, but in truth he wanted to be alone to think.
Contradiction, the fact that both his future and past self, exist in the same point of time meant that they would share more memories and skills the more they interacted with each other, during their fight earlier the connection was there and was completely one sided, he had felt how Shirou Emiya was taking everything, all the memories, all his skills, in a way that wasn't possible even if they recognized each other as a single being, he was taking everything in a way he had never experienced before and giving nothing but darkness in return, that wasn't the way the effect was supposed to work, he had to give back as much as he took, but only the single image of a dark world was given in return; on the other hand the connection was much weaker now, he could feel the exchange and Shirou could probably feel it as well, even if he couldn't identify what it was that he felt, he felt something, so it was better to keep his distance for now, to avoid more unforeseen and catastrophic changes.
Yes. It was probably that connection that broke the strong compulsion, but that wasn't important, this world Shirou had a mother, a very strong and capable magus that was the master of Caster, maybe the woman had found Shirou at an earlier date and used her mind related mysteries to brainwash the poor bastard into believing she was his mother, or not…
"Yes. The best I can do for now is to sit and wait"
Part 4. A bag of cats
02/03/2004
In a different location in large Japanese house a pair of women held a heated discussion.
"You shouldn't had let them keep him, he is too valuable a person to let them have him"
"Medea dear, you voice…"
The blue haired woman flinched, she knew this woman wasn't to be taken lightly, in this day and age few magi could be considered threats to her, but she knew the white haired woman that was her master was one of them.
"Master, the boy is a one in a kind human, not even in the age of gods such a person has existed"
"Dear, I told you to call me mother.
Besides I am aware of how special my son is, most of magi would kill themselves to have him as a sample to experiment with, but at that point it was impossible to keep him with us, my connection to 'him' was broken by something else and I couldn't regain control again as thus the battle was decided"
The blue haired woman didn't know what to say, it was still unclear to her, how the person she had to call mother did it, but the control she had over her son 'and others' was almost absolute, to have it broken so easily, in a way that she couldn't regain control again was surprising.
"Still do not worry, even if I have no control over him, he is still my son and he will help me with my plans out of duty and love"
And then the Albino held a knowingly smile and spoke to Medea in a more personal tone.
"I know you wanted him to be your master, but Shirou had already summoned Saber, so the only other capable person around us was me, and you needed to have a master if we were going to fight another servant...
Oh dear, don't tell me you miss him so much that you are willing to fight me because you were looking forward to tonight?"
Medea of Colchis flushed red completely, making a heavy contrast with her blue hair.
"My desires and prana charging methods aside… If Shirou isn't here who is going to cook dinner for you?"
The temperature of the room fell a few degrees as both women realized that they had lost the person responsible for their luxurious meals in more than one way.
"Oh no… I will starve to dead!"
"Mas-Mother, you can just cook yourself, or buy something in a restaurant, on the other hand I-
Medea was quickly interrupted by the Albino.
"Cook myself!
Buy low quality food in a restaurant!
How dare you!
There is no way either of those things can compare with my sons cooking"
The woman had lost it, the prospect of the loss of the food had made her throw a tantrum, Medea could understand her master, as she had tasted the food Shirou made a few times, but her position was much worse, his cooking could be replaced with food of lesser quality, but what they did almost every night couldn't, as a servant she didn't need food, but Prana to survive and Shirou Prana density was the best in the world thanks to his condition-
Her musings and worries were quickly interrupted by the yells of her master
"Yes, little Sakura will come tomorrow and her cooking is almost as good as Shirou, I will have her stay here to cook for me. Hahaha-"
The laughs of joy from the woman were quickly interrupted by Medea.
"But master what about me? The prana you give me is enough for battle, but I need more to craft the Items you requested"
The Albino was quickly irritated again and held a very wicked smile on her face
"You have forgotten again that you should call me mother"
Medea felt a pain the likes she had never felt before; it was as if the concept of pain was being forced on her whole body even if she had no injury, the woman she had to call mother held her in place with a powerful glare and the few tortuous seconds felt like an eternity, the pain was so unbearable that Medea wanted to disappear and die and then just as easily as it began the pain stopped.
"Anyways.
if you need more prana to create what I wish, and Shirou is unavailable now there is no other choice than to tap into the main Ley line"
Medea was completely under the control of the woman she had to call mother, using rule breaker held no effect as the mysteries the woman used where still impossible to grasp for her, and the only respite in that situation had been the boy that would no longer be there for her…
By the time group reached the Tohsaka residence it was already midnight, Archer had decided to stay as a guard outside, but all of them could feel the irritation in his voice, he clearly didn't like the situation at all, giving some validation to the words of the woman that had attacked them, but the others had a few too many questions that needed to be answered, sitting in the living room with only the sound of the antique clock breaking the silence the host and owner of the house had the honor of the first question.
"So Shirou, we should be in a safe place now…
And I have so many questions that I don't know where to begin"
The redhead looked around clearly nervous, and then he sighed deeply
"Tohsaka you saved my life from certain dead, so I will answer everything that I can answer to the best of my ability, but I can't tell you secrets that could put others in danger"
"Are you talking about that woman that claims to be your mother?"
"She is my stepmother, but I have no memories of my real mother, so she is the real thing to me"
"What about your father?"
"I have no memory of my real father, but the man I consider my father is the person that adopted me after the great fire ten years ago"
Rin Tohsaka knew that much already, but to the best of her knowledge Shirou was a double orphan, who had no living parents left.
"But no one in school knows about your mother, not even Ryuudou-kun and he is your best friend"
Shirou looked down as if ashamed before speaking.
"That is pretty much true, She is legally my guardian and not my mother, a friend of my father that he brought back years ago from one of his travels to Europe before he passed away, but she always told me to call her mother as a symbol of the trust we have in each other"
Saber finally integrated into the conversation
"What part of Europe?"
"I don't know"
Saber wouldn't give up without some answers.
"What is her Full name?"
"That I do know, but I don't know if I can tell you"
Rin was very interested as well and pressured the boy she liked by getting closer to him speaking with a sweet yet malicious tone.
"Come on Shirou, you can tell us that much"
Sighing in surrender and clearly nervous at the girl advances the boy told them what he felt he could tell them about his surrogate mother.
As if to understand the situation Rin decided to repeat the key points of the long and mostly useless conversation regarding the woman that had attacked them earlier.
"So her name is Eria Parker Jones.
Your father introduced her to you seven years ago, and she has been you teacher in magic ever since"
"Pretty much"
"That reminds me"
Rin tone of voice changed and the temperature of the room fell a few degrees, she was clearly pissed off at something.
"You have been a magus for so long and you kept me, the second owner of the city in the dark.
Living in MY city for so long without telling me anything, practicing magic in MY land, laughing at me-
The young boy stammered as he quickly reassured her.
"To-Tohsaka is not like that, I didn't even know you were a magus to begin with"
"You didn't?"
"Father was in hiding in the city as he was a well-known assassin in the magic world, and I am not a proper magus anyways"
That statement had to be a lie; the amount of prana he was producing was unreal.
"You have been practicing magic for seven years and you aren't a proper magus? Emiya-kun I can feel the absurd amount of prana you are producing, are you-
She was quickly interrupted
"So you can feel it? no wonder I felt different.
Anyways, I have been practicing for almost nine years, but I did a foolish mistake a little over seven years ago and almost died, as a result I can't learn magic properly anymore, my body doesn't allow it"
Saber was the one to interrupt her master now
"Your body doesn't allow it?"
He had to explain what had happened, but it was so complex that he didn't know where to begin, and if he was honest with himself, he couldn't understand most of it either, no matter how many times his mother explained it, so he did the only thing he could at this point and told them the same words his mother had used to simplify his condition to him.
"In simple terms my magic circuits convert my od into prana.
Prana flows into my nerves.
The nerves heat up and distribute the prana to my whole body.
And the excess heat is converted into od"
Rin Tohsaka was out of words, her mind unable to understand a single thing of what he had said; Shirou could see the confusion in her eyes.
"Let's say that during training, I used one of nerves as a makeshift circuit and my real circuits at the same time.
This tied them together and gave me extreme pain and I fainted right there, dad was abroad so the girl that took care of me was the one that found me the next morning with a fever and took me to the hospital"
"But that should had killed or crippled you right there"
"So I was told, I should have died right there as I blacked out, but by the time I woke up the next morning, I just had a little fever and I couldn't turn off my magic circuits, I never understood what had happened until mom explained it to me; I was using my whole peripheral nervous system to handle the prana my magic circuits created and this heated my body slightly giving a similar effect to a fever.
I don't know how, but my magic circuits adapted to this and converted the excess heat in my body into life force"
"And the prana produced-
"Is stored in my body, specially my blood.
My body created this system in an effort to not destroy itself, or so I was told by mother, but as a side effect any kind of magic that disrupts the balance of the system causes my nervous system to take damage and locks in"
"Locks in?"
"Disorders of consciousness; losing movement of my body, awareness, coma..."
The girl couldn't believe it, a body that in theory had an endless supply of prana that could never be used, but wait.
"But even the body has a limit to how much prana it can store, I am close to a thousand at max, my body would break if I ever went over that-
She looked worried, so he had to explain he wasn't in danger right now
"Dad went to Europe to look for help as I drained my blood every day to buy some time and before my body reached the limit he found Eria and she saved me"
"How?"
"I don't know, some sort of Ritual, but I was already in a vegetative state when it happened"
Rin was expecting a great deal of magic theory to be thrown her way, but that sentence wasn't one she expected and as such she almost fell off her chair.
"Mom says I am a prana reactor, I don't know what she did back then, but now I use the Emiya crest to regulate the output as an added control system"
"Your father crest?
But you are adopted, the rejection should had killed you, especially with the added instability of your original circuits"
"Dad and mom did it for my sake the second time my mind locked in, so I don't remember much"
Saber had a hard time understanding everything her master had said, but something he had said had caught her attention earlier.
"Master, you keep saying you aren't a proper magus and that doing magic would cause damage to your body, yet earlier you fought Archer and you were clearly using magic"
Her master held eye contact for a few seconds and then sighed
"The crest allows me to cheat a little-
Rin Tohsaka wanted to learn more, she wanted to understand him more, but as talented as she was, a drained magus was a drained magus, as thus the next events were inevitable. She lost her focus and fell forward and as she did, Shirou caught her with his arms...

Author Notes: Initially I wanted to balance the flashbacks and history progression in the same chapters, but I am starting to think that is a bad idea...
Also should I post the servants stats as a separate fic or keep it at the bottom of each chapter?
Anyways thanks for your time, and sorry for the broken sentences if there are some as I am my own proof reader and that can only take you so far :)
