=[Heaven's Feeling]=
Hollow Ataraxia

"We're almost home, miss," the elderly driver announced as they passed through an automatic massive gate. He looked up at the rear view mirror to see a blond-haired girl sitting at the back of the limo. He was a long time servant of a certain powerful family, and knew many things that the world at large did not know. For example, magic. No, he wasn't a mage. There are things in this world that couldn't be explained rationally or scientifically, and his employer was those things.

She sighed, looking at the mirror with her bright blue eyes. It was a busy day at work, and she wanted to retain her current form a bit longer. It was an illusionary form, but she like it more than her natural body. Her body aged far too slow due to her heritage. Flesh and mind did not correspond correctly as her mind was more matured than most people. Chronologically, she was hundreds of years old. Not as old as her father, but still far older than most people, yet she still had a child-like body? Unfortunately, her mother didn't know that, and she had to play the innocent child at her father's request.

She sighed again as her body erupted in white smoke, filling the limo inside. The driver pressed the button to his side in order to lower the window, allowing the dense mist to escape. When it did, it revealed an eight-year old with golden hair and oceanic blue eyes. She coughed a little, checking her throat to make sure her voice returned to normal. She formed a childish smile on her face, putting on her best act.

A façade, but it was a good one. A flash blinded the driver for a fraction of a second as he was viewing the back seat through the mirror. He nodded afterwards, acknowledging a new passenger as the car moving slowly down the road towards the castle in the distant.

"It would only work for a year or so before mum will start asking questions, dad," Alteria stated as a chuckle came from the other side.

"Yes, I know Alt-chan, but for now, your mother is happier if you are the child she saw in her vision," Naruto replied as he looked out the opened window at the tree passing by outside. They were already on their land, but it still was a long way until they reach their home. This whole region belonged to his family. A massive holding was controlled by him. However, many people and their families were living on this land. It was for as long as they were servants of his house.

Arturia examined at the massive portrait adorning the wall. It was her in her battle armor; spearheaded her army in the last battle she fought in. The painting depicted the Battle of Camlann, where she was forced to kill her daughter. Yes, Arturia accepted that Mordred was her blood. There was no right or wrong to kingship as her husband had told her and used history to illustrate it. Husband… it sounded strange. She thought she never would marry someone for the sake of love. Kings do not marry for love, but near the end of her life, she abandoned her obligation and followed her heart.

Following one's heart was what her daughter did even though it ripped the country apart. Mordred was given a proper burial like a King as her husband had told her. Naruto apologized for stealing her body during the funeral recession. He needed to preserve it, and Mordred wanted to be King so he used the girl in her stead. No one was the wiser in Camelot when they carried out the necessary procedure and rite.

Camelot… It only had been a few days since Arturia came home. That was in the most literal sense. Her home was a massive castle; an exact replicate of Camelot from an era long passed. It was a fortress, where she commanded her army along with the knights of the round, as well as giving out justice to her people. The place was the symbol of her power, and with her death, it crumpled to dust and scattered to the wind. Still, he rebuilt exactly as it was, hoping one day she would returned.

Arturia walked towards the throne room and entered it. The hall was similar to what she knew. Pillar erected, holding up the ceiling while heavy drapes covered the windows. She saw statues of her Knights adorning each side of the red carpet in the center. They were awaiting her orders like they used to. Besides Mordred, Lancelot was also there. Naruto had also relay to her what had happened to Lancelot. The loyal knight wanted to participate in the last battle to fulfill his oath, but Gawain hostilely rejected the offer as it might cause disunity among the soldiers. Many of her supporters then were against Lancelot's illicit affair. It was never resolved, and his participation would disintegrate her army before the battle could begin. The former round knight fell into despair, but luckily, with Guinevere, he was able to move on even after the news of her death. Unfortunately, a plague took the love of his life, and Lancelot lost all reasons to live.

It was a bitter ending to a great knight; a great companion who had saved her life more than once. He deserved a much better life. They all did, but in the end, they did not see the glory they dreamed of when they followed her. Tears escaped her green eyes, sliding down her cheek as she glanced around the room, seeing each of their faces.

"My only regret is that I could not help my King when she needed me the most," Lancelot muttered on his death bed as a blond-haired man sat by his side.

Arturia recited the last line Lancelot said as it was relayed back to her. She faced his statue again and placing her hands upon its face, trying to touch the person she once knew. There were so many things she wanted to change; to redo her life. One where she wasn't King, and they would follow someone more suited. Perhaps then they would see their dream come true; a kingdom of heaven that would last long after they were gone, where their children would grow up peacefully.

"That was one my regrets as well, Arturia. You locked me up before that battle, and I could have made a difference. I could have stopped the fighting that tore apart our kingdom. But, what has already happened should be left alone. I would not change it for the world, so don't dwell too much on it," Naruto said softly as she turned around. He placed his hands on her shoulder and gently pulling her closer to him.

"If I wasn't King, would it be different?" Arturia asked weakly, seeing his face.

Naruto inhaled deeply, returning the gaze before sighing.

"I do not know the answer to that. I do not know how it would change Britain… England. Perhaps it might be for the better, but it could also be for the worst. Currently, it is a peaceful nation so why change it?"

He paused for her to contemplate about it.

"Arturia, I for one do not regret that you were King," Naruto answered softly. He looked at her face, clearing some liquids away with the back of his index finger. It was still strange for him to see her cry. She was so strong; seemingly invincible. Even riddled with arrows, she would continue on, fighting for what she believed in, disregarding everything that would hinder her, including what made her human. That was her downfall…

"If you weren't King, I probably never have met you and love you as I do now. What we been through, it was a journey. The choices we took were an experience, and our mistakes helped shaped the future. If anything, I regret that our time together was cut short, and I wasn't able to save you back then," Naruto continued.

"I understand that, but there are so many things we should have done..."

"Arturia, there are many things we could do now, this is a second chance to begin anew, and if you wanted to know what could have been different, I can show you…" Naruto said, leading her to another room. It was the massive library as she remembered it. She spends days here, learning how to govern her people and battle tactics. Even now, she was still learning new things.

"If it's history, I already read through many…"

"It's not the history of this world that I wanted to show you," Naruto interjected, placing his hands on one of the bookcase. Black lines spread across it and glowed. Arturia wasn't surprised anymore at that. She knew magic, and her husband had a strange type since he wasn't from here original. Some invisible force was pushing the bookshelves to one side, revealing a hidden room.

"I was lost for while after you had died, wondering what I could have done differently. Like you, I reached out to Akasha and saw multiple possibilities that were running along with this world as well as the path that I must take to bring you back," Naruto said, entering the room first. It was then followed by his wife.

"Multiple possibilities?" Arturia asked, walking slowly towards a well to join him. It was the only thing in the room.

"Yes… Akasha is the location of records. It stores and archives event, past, future and present of every possible reality that is connected to it. Since it doesn't exist anywhere, it is impossible to locate, but I could still access it," Naruto said as he tapped once on the surface. The water rippled, forming images.

Arturia's eyes widened, seeing many possible timeline below the surface. There was one that she died in the battle against Mordred, but did not return back to Camelot. She would be summoned to a different world under Saber class in the Fourth and Fifth Holy War. She would still abandon her dream of changing the past as another person, named Shirou, helped her moved on and let it go. There were others, and they were all her, but they were not at the same time. However, she understood what he was implying.

"That's strange, why aren't you in any of this?" Arturia asked curiously as Naruto chuckled.

"I'm unique and like I said before, I'm was not original born here, as such there is only one of me, and my being here had changed the flow of this world and everyone I interacted with," Naruto said with a smile. He explained further as Arturia nodded. She knew that much from before.

"There is a version of Lancelot out there that stood by your side in the end as well as there's one where Mordred ascended as King so there's no need to think too much about it. Every change you want to make will happen somewhere else in another life. You should accept what you had instead of wanting something more. Do you not like your current life?" Naruto asked. Arturia was about to say something, but another voice interrupted.

"Mum, dad, where are you?" Alteria called out.

"I…"

"There's no need, I know the answer," Naruto said, "Alt-chan is looking for us, and we should go have dinner like a family. I will join you soon as I need to reseal this room again. It is dangerous yearning for what you could have instead of actually living your life."

Arturia smiled at the comment and nodded. She shouldn't dwell on the past and live the life she has right now. She had someone to share it with and a daughter that she adored. The once and future King exited the room to join her daughter. A happy squeal was heard from Alteria as she as hugged by a strong arms.

Naruto looked down at the well as he tapped its surface, forcing it to show possible future that he didn't display for his wife. The water rippled, showing a girl similar to Arturia, except with shorter stature. She was facing a knight with heavy black armor, holding a helix black blade. To his side was a blond fourteen-year-old with starling green eyes. They were master and servant. The servant's eyes were glowing reddish color as rage filled them. He saw someone he knew.

"NERO!" The black knight shouted and with a swung of his blade, he destroyed much of the ground as the girl evaded it to the side. She was quiet shocked and rather confused.

Naruto knew that was him and understood why he was so enraged.

The water rippled again, showing a blond-haired girl in rag. Her violet eyes were dulled as she had been crying for some times, and outside her cell sat an armor cladded knight. It was the same armor Naruto wore when he was the Knight of the Rounds. The Crimson Knight.

"Why?" She questioned, looking at him as he gazed back at her through the visor. His blue eyes were filled with guilt.

"I didn't hear his voice… only the devil tempted me. I have sinned... even so I believed in you, but how could you? What right do you have!?"

The knight eyed her a little, forming a spiraling sphere of pure energy in his gauntlet hands. He crushed it as the energy escaped between his fingers, blasting through the empty corridor, rattling some of the cages along the way.

"Jeanne. You took up the sword to save your homeland, believing it was him. That wasn't wrong; you saved many people in doing so and gave hope to your country. I have turned blind eyes to that. However, that was my fault; I should not have spared you then as my oath forced me to defend Britain from all her enemies. They had become arrogance in their recent victories. If they do not stand down and surrender, I will be forced to enter the battle. You have seen the power I wield; turning France into a sea of blood is just a child play to me. Your homeland will never see another day break again if that was to happen," he said as his body glowed with an ominous aura. The black blade by his side rattled. It wasn't an empty threat. He could do it if he chose.

The water rippled again, showing seven servants clashes against others. They were Black and Red team, fighting for the Grail as a blond-haired person watched the battle from the side. His blue eyes scanned through the field and sighed. He didn't want to fight in such a pointless battle, nor needed to. The Grail never had the power to grant wish anyway.

"I'm tired of this, Saber, let's go home," he said as the servant wrapped in thick armor from top to toe nodded. She followed her master home, leaving the battle outcome to anyone's guess.

"Do you feel like the need anymore?" He asked as the knight shook her head. She didn't want to change the past by redoing the Selection of King. If she did, she would not be here right now, and she wasn't angry at her father anymore. It seemed so foolish now.

He chuckled. "You started that whole battle because she locked me up, didn't you? I didn't know you care for my wellbeing that much. Still… so many people died in that conflict, including our King. I hope it was a good lesson."

Naruto smiled as the images faded away in the well. He left the room to seal it up again as he had watched them numerous times before. The choices he made altered the course of history and his own saga. They were all him, but different in many ways. He knew that and didn't want to contemplate on it anymore.

A family dinner was waiting for him. It needed him to be there as a requirement.

Author Note:

Hollow Ataraxia (False Tranquility) is a Fate story when all timeline are running parallel to each other. This story, along with many others that set in Fate series (including Tsukihime) is part of The Crimson Knight's Saga as they loosely based upon each other. Read them when they're out as they shared the same beginning! It might not be exactly the same as shown in here, but going to be very similar. Snippet given in this are:

Nero's Route is called The Devil's Opera, set in Fate/Extra timeline.
Jeanne's Route is called Faith of a Ruler, set in Fate/Apocrypha timeline.
Mordred's Route is called Sword of Destiny, set in Fate/Apocrypha timeline.

I will add more extra in the future as even main story completed. It's always nice to add what happened to their lives afterwards. Fate/Zero characters will make a cameo from time to time, including Fate/Stay Night characters as they are children, around the same appearance as Alteria (Alt-chan).
