It was late in the afternoon and Yuriko sat at her desk in her office.

Her office in the old Hashimoto house was small and humble. Her desk sat infront of a large window. It was open letting the bitter winter wind in, it also let Yuriko look at the deserted garden. She leant back her zaisu chair as she looked at the garden. Her crimson brown eyes were distant in thought.

Yuriko was waiting for Caster to come back. She had allowed her to go out and get familiar with the city. Yuriko received some news from the church that Caster needed to hear.

From the corner of Yuriko's eye, she saw Caster appear from her spirit form.

"You wanted to see me, Master?" Caster asked.

Yuriko moved her chair to face the desk properly. She leant back in the chair once again and place her hands in her lap.

"Yes. I received some news from Father Resie. It seems like another servent was summon this morning," Yuriko informed her servant.

Caster blinked in confusion.

"Didn't you say that all the servants were already summon," Caster inquired.

"Yes but it seems like the Grail has decided it would like to play around this war," Yuriko commented.

"It doesn't really change anything," Caster stated. "It's just one more servant for me to defeat," She casually commented.

Yuriko was surprised by Caster's response. She thought Caster would be annoyed about it.

"Hey Master, do you know what class the other servant was summoned into?" Caster asked.

"Yes. It was another Caster," Yuriko answered, pulling her out of her thoughts.

Caster stood up straight, placeing her right index finger on her lips and thought about Yuriko's answer.

"This is a rare occasion," She mumbled. "Well, the whole Grail War is a rare occasion. To be able to fight other heroes, but to be able to fight another magus would be a honour," Caster explained.

Yuriko laughed at Caster's eagerness. It looked like she wasn't discourage by the news. Caster turned around walking out off the office. As she did she disappeared into her spirit form.

"I'm going back to investigateing the city again. I'll be back before the show this evening," Caster voice echoed as she left the room.

Yuriko sighed then turned back to the open window behind her.

It was now early evening, the sun was just about to set. There was still some time before Caster was needed to present for Archer's and Assassin's performance, so Caster decided to use the time to gaze into the future.

Caster was sat outside on the engawa, embracing the cold weather. She had left the shoji opened letting the cold air into the room behind her.

Choosing a crossed-leg position with her hands resting on her knees to gaze into the future. This position was the most common way to Caster choose use her Clairvoyance in.

She took a few breaths, calming herself. Her eyes were already closed waiting for the images of the future to appear infront of them. Soon the outside world became deaf to her and what light was left turned to pitch black.

When Caster opened her eyes again the darkness only let off a bit. Out of the corner of both eyes she could see bright balls of light. She turned her head to the right to see what the light was. Her eyes focused on to the light, it was a street lamp. Behind it was an metal shipping container. This must be one of the shipping yards down at Fuyuki's shore.

Caster craned her head farther to the right to see a man. The man was as tall as Archer with pale skin. He had black hair, most of it combed back apart from one strand that hung infront of his face. His eyes were a dark amber. Under his right eye was a small beauty spot. The man wore a dark teal skin tight clothing. The right arm was sleeveless, whiles the left was a short sleeve with a shoulder guard. Also on his left arm was arm guard. Around his waist and top of his legs was leather belt. He was wearing long boots that met the leather belt.

Her eyes were drawn to his hands. He was holding two spears, covered in cloth, trying to hinding it magical abilities. But Caster could see right through the cloth and see the spears abilities.

The long red spear could cut through mana while the short gold spear makes wounds unable to heal. Both were highly dangerous to Caster. If she were to fight this man - who most lightly to be Lancer she would need to get rid of the gold spear first, before she could properly fight him. She probably could handle the red spear if she was given the right venue.

Caster then turned to her left to see who Lancer's opponent was. When she turned she saw two women. Caster immediately looked at the woman who stood at the back; with one look she could tell that the albino woman was a homunculus, if not by appearance then by the air that surrounds her. There was something else about her that was different from other homunculus that Caster had met. Caster shook it off and focus her attention on the female servant.

When Caster looked upon the servent something stop inside of her. All of the tales and stories that her father used to tell her about his dear old friend rushed through her mind. To Caster there was no doubt about the identity of this servant, Saber. Before she could study Saber any further to make sure she was right, Lancer struck Saber with the full force of his red spear. The spear's ability cut through the invisible air that was consealing the blade making it visible for a brief moment. It only took that brief moment for Caster to confirm her suspicions.

Lancer threw another strike at Saber which she manage to jump back from. The strike hit the ground silently. No, it should of made a sound with the power behind it. It was only then Caster realise she couldn't hear a thing. Not the sound of the roaring ocean, clashing of weapons, the cling of Saber's armour or the sound of their voices. She should be able to hear a thing even if it was muffled. Suddenly a flash of light fill the shipping yard. Caster lifted her left arm to shield her eyes from the blinding light. When she removed her arm the scene had changed.

She was now standing on top of a building over looking a skyscraper. In the plaza surrounding the building was filled with people probably from the building. Caster looked back at the skyscraper as half way up a series of explosions spread across a number of floors. The skyscraper collapsed in on itself. No ordinary person could survived a explodsion or a fall like that.

Once again the scene change, now Caster was standing on a cliff over looking a mountain road. On the road beneath her was Saber and her master were standing infront of a car. The car's headlights cause the women's fronts to be cast into shadows. Stood opposite them basking in the light from the headlights was a man. He stood slightly hunch over, his face was strange, his eyes were bulging out of his face giving him a look of a madman.

Caster could tell the man had above average mana but not enough to make him magus maybe an novice. He was a definitively a servant either Rider, Berserker or the other Caster. Narrowing down the options in her mind, she decided it must be the other Caster. If he was then why would the Grail choose such a weak magus for the role of Caster.

Noticing that Saber and the other Caster were having an conversation, Caster tried straining her ears trying to hear any part of it. It was no use the silents only fill her ears.

Suddenly everything turned black. It stay black for few minutes before Caster opened her eyes to meet the deserted garden.

Caster relax her body letting her work with the knowledge gained from her clairvoyance. Thinking over the information, but she kept distracting herself about her clairvoyance or lack off. She had never experience a clairvoyance session like that, she had always been able to hear something.

Taking another deep breath before Caster did another dive into the future. Nothing change from the previous time. The same images just pass by unchange and silent. When that session finish, she went straight away into another clairvoyance session. This time there was change, it was small but there was change. She was finally able to hear something, it was only mumble and dull down sounds of weapons clashing against each other. Fourth time around the sound became cleaner. Caster manage to pick up a few words like 'of knight', 'first warrior of the knights' and 'Holy virgin'. The fifth session was the same as the last one.

When Caster finish the fifth clairtvoyance session she could feel a large headache coming on, a sign that she was over using her power. Ignoring the sign Caster went to do another dive into the future.

As she closed her eyes ready to gaze in to the future again, someone grabbed her shoulder. Caster was pulled back to the floor. Her head didn't hit the wooden floor but something soft. When Caster open her eyes she was met by a pale face looking down at her.

The face belong to a young woman with ebony black hair that came pass her shoulder blades. She had chocolate brown eyes. Her pale skin was tinted blue. She was wearing a white kimono.

Caster scrunch up her face as she stare at the woman above her.

"You know your limit is five. Going over is dangerous," Reika remindered her.

"I know that already Reika," Caster told her.

"It's my job to make sure you don't do stupid things," Reika said. "Now rest until Hashimoto-Sama calls for you,"

Caster uncrossed her legs and let them dangle over the edge of the engawa. She places her hands on top of upper abdomen and she laced her fingers together. Reika ran her fingers through Caster soft hair. Enjoying the feeling of her familiar playing with her hair, Caster closed her eyes.

Two of them sat in a comfortable silents but it wasn't long before they were interrupted by an annoying presence in the room.

"May I help you Archer?" Caster asked

Caster didn't have any intention of moving from Reika's lap until she heard her voice in her thoughts.

'You better get up to greet and talk to him. You don't want it to end up like last time,' Reika advised.

Caster sighed as she got up. She turned to face Archer, who was standing in the middle of the room. He was dressed in his golden armour and blond hair was spiked up. He stood with his arms crossed and a unhappy look on his face.

"I'm here to make sure that you will be present for this ridiculous game," Archer said.

"Of course I will. It's important for me to understand the power of the people I'll be working with," Caster started off, choosing her words carefully.

Archer seems unimpressed with her. He stared at her for few minutes more before flicking his eyes to Reika.

"Who is she?" Archer inquired.

Caster looked behind her to Reika. She was still kneeling on the engawa. Her hands were place on top of her Egyptian blue hakama. Reika was waiting for Caster make a mistake so she could help her out.

"That's one of my familiars, Reika Kuze," Caster introduced her.

In response Reika place both her hands on the floor and then bowed to Archer.

"It seems that your familiar has more manners then you," Archer pointed out. Archer turned away to walk off, disappearing into gold dust. "I hope you watch carefully," Archer's voice ehcoed as he left.

'What was that about?' Sakuya asked.

"He was making sure that I'm present to witness his power," Caster explained.

'Caster it's time. Come down to the workshop,' Yuriko order her.

Following her master's order she transported herself to the workshop.

The workshop was split into two parts. The first section was large area around 12x12, this where you could perform magic. The other half was platform which was 12x6. Two of the three walls were lined with bookcases which reach the ceiling. The shelves of the bookcases where fill with ancient tomes. On the far side of the platform was a long wooden table that stretched the wall, sitting at it was Yuriko. Infront of Yuriko was large old fashion gramophone, use for Yuriko, Kirei and Tokiomi to talk to each other.

"Is your familiar in place?" Yuriko asked.

"Yes, she been in place since this morning," Caster replied.

"Good" Yuriko said.

Caster waved her hand and an ripple formed in mid-air, a crimson butterfly came fluttering out. It flew over to Yuriko, who gingerly held out her hand.

"You'll be able to see the show," Caster explained. "Close your eyes and you be able to see it,"

Following Caster's words Yuriko closed her eyes, she was transported to above Tohsaka Manor.

It seem as Assassin's attack on the Tohsaka Manor had just began. Assassin landed in a flowerbed in the back garden of the Manor. He stood for a brief moment annualizing the garden. Assassin slowly moved towards the house. Stood in the center of the garden was a large and powerful magical security systerm. Assassin flicked a small rock at the systerm, activating it. Once it was activated Assassin skillfully dodge the magical energy produce by the systerm. When he reach the center of the security, Assassin reach up to statue where the jewel powering it was.

Soon as Assassin touch the jewel a spear came shooting down, piercing through Assassin's hand and the statue.

"You're nothing but a slimy worm," Archer's voice come booming down from the top of Tohsaka Manor. Assassin rise his head to look at Archer. "Who gave you permission to look up at me?" Archer rain down a ranger of weapons to Assassin destroying him.

Yuriko open her eyes from the fake battle. Archer's power was beyond what Tokiomi described. There was noway Caster could win against him.

Yuriko turned to look at Caster, who seemed to be deep in thought about thw battle. Probably thinking about Archer's Noble Phantasm.

"So..." Caster came out her thoughts. "Assassin has more then one body?" She asked.

"Yes. When Assassin was a life he had Multple Personality Disorder. As Assassin this allows him to possess to have multiple bodies," Yuriko explaned.

Caster hummed the at new information. She also remember her clairvoyance session. Caster tol her information about the session. Yuriko told her she would pass the information on to Tokiomi. After that Caster returned to her room.

When she arrived back at her room Caster found Archer there, dressed in his casual clothes. He studying the map of Fuyuki, she had put up on the wall.

"Hello Archer," She greeted him. "How may I help you this time?" She asked.

Archer turned to faced Caster. In his hand was a glass of wine.

"Came to see what thought about my power," Archer told her.

'Really,' She thought. "It was interesting. Your Noble Phantasm is quite unique," Caster said.

Archer looked unimpressed with her answer. He looked away from her to take a seat on the other side of the room. Caster moved from infront of the door to sit back on the emgawa, legs dangling over the edge.

A silents falls between them for a while. Archer continued to drink his wine as Caster gazed into the night sky. It was a quiet peace between them.

Archer watch Caster carefully, taking in her beauty. Her hair was like nothing he had seen, Archer knew it was soft to touch from yesterday's encounter. Her eyes shone brighter then any topaz in his treasury. You couldn't really tell much about her body since Caster's clothes did a good job of hinding everything up. This left her attitude, from what she displayed yestrerday it was unacceptable but if she continued this behaviour up she would make a perfect wife.

"Caster what do you wish from the Grail?" Archer inquired.

Caster took her eyes away from the sky and stared at him weary. She turned her head away to look at her lap, it was followed by a few minutes of silents. Archer waited patienly for Caster's answer.

"I made a promise to someone and I intend to keep it," Caster confessed, looking back at the night sky.

"So you wish to reveive," Archer mused.

"In short, yes," Caster confirmed. Caster looked at Archer again, who was stareing at his wine glass. "Why do you care Archer?" She asked.

Archer looked back at her before taking a sip of his wine. Caster stood up from her seat and walked into the room, closing the doors behind her. Caster came to sit infront of Archer.

"The Grail rightfully belongs to me, so I must judge all those who seek to use it. Though only my vassals and loyal subjects will only be able to use the Grail," Archer inform her.

"So I must become a vassal or subject of your's to use the Grail," Caster Confirmed.

"Yes, but the title of vassal or subject wouldn't suit you," Archer told her. The look of confusion stretched across Caster's face. This made Archer smirk. "The title of wife would suit you much better," He told her.

Caster's face became red very quickly. She shot up which made Archer frown. He stood up to tower over her.

"Does the idea of being my wife displease you," he question.

"N-No. I was just shocked. No one has ever asked me to marry them. And we've just met. It's just going a bit fast," Caster stuttered out.

Archer didn't reply and that frown stayed on his face. He turned to leave but Caster wasn't finish with him. She needed to tell him about her visions.

"Wait! Archer, I must tell you about tomorrows events," she called out to him.

"I don't care for your predictions. Though I might listen to you if you become my wife," he said, not even looking at her.

With that Archer disappeared back into gold dust, leaving Caster in shock.

The room fill with a heavy silents. Caster could feel the headache coming back.

"Did I overact again?" She asked her familiars.

'I don't think so,' Reika started off. 'You were in reason to react the way you did. It's not normal in your time for men to asked you marry them without knowing them,' she reason.

'Reika is right for your time period. But the two of you are from different eras,' Sakuya reminded.

'I guess you just have to be extra careful around him,' Kirie advised.

'What are you going to do with the marriage proposal?' Sae asked.

Caster paused for a brief moment. She had no idea what to do about it

"I'll worry about it in the morning," she sighed. "Let's just watch over my master for the night,"

Caster faded into her spirit form before going to protect Yuriko for the rest of the night.
