Hey! I'm back and I've decided that I am going to continue this story after all.
It will be a part of my Fate/Grand Destiny Series as a Third route and companion to Fate Unlimited Destinies and Fate Fragments if Destiny. The prequel will again be Fate Threads of Destiny.
Please review!
Chapter 3- Preparations
"What do you mean girl?" Saber asked, alarm rising in him. There was no way that he was born as a girl, even if it was in a different universe. As much as he hoped that it was possible; there shouldn't have been a way, not in the time he was born in. Then it hit him; that's why Rin was staring at him, she thought he should have been a girl.
"I probably shouldn't say anything else." Rin said, a blush spreading through her cheeks. She really shouldn't say anything else related to Saber's gender.
Jeanne sighed, making sure to keep an amused smile off her face. She didn't need Rin and Saber mad at her at the same time.
"We can discuss Saber's... gender," Jeanne made sure to choose her words wisely, later. Right now, we should get to Trifas. The real war will be starting soon."
"Can I get packed real quick?" Ayaka asked, feeling rushed. She understood that they had to go, but she still had to pack for a sudden trip.
"Of course." Jeanne said, remembering something else as well; her amethyst colored eyes wiping to Rin. "Rin... you don't have any clothes do you?"
Rin's eyes widened as she too realized her lack of clothing to wear. "Darn it... I don't have any money either." She looked down at her usual red sweater and black skirt. Who knew when she'd get home? She couldn't stay in these clothes forever.
Jeanne sighed, she reached into a bag that she had carrying, feeling guilty as she pulled out some money, Laeticia's euros already converted to yen. She'd really have to find a way to replenish Laeticia's money once this war was over.
"Take this, " Jeanne handed the yen to Rin. "Go buy yourself some clothes."
Rin took the yen, "When do you want me back?"
"Two hours." Jeanne said simply. "We should also give Ayaka some time to make plans for when she is gone."
"Thank you." Ayaka said, smiling gladly at Jeanne. "Rin, you can put your things in one of my bags when you come back. But, should you really go alone?" There was worry in her tone.
"I'll go with her." Saber spoke up, standing to join Rin, a neutral smile on his face.
Rin backed up quickly, face widening as her blue eyes filled with embarrassment. "Y-you don't have too." She quickly shook her head. "I was born here, I know where to go."
"You were born in a different universe. I'll go with you." Saber said sternly, looking at Rin. "Also, if we are to call Ruler Jeanne in public, I insist that you call me Arthur."
Damn it... Rin thought in annoyance. She could tell by Saber- no, Arthur's tone that he would go with her no matter what. He probably wanted to know more about him being a girl.
"Fine," Rin finally huffed as she headed towards the door. "If you're coming, then you're carrying all the bags. Don't expect any help from me."
Jeanne watched as Arthur hopelessly followed after Rin until it was just Jeanne and Ayaka.
"Those two..." Ayaka trailed off. "Are going to be interesting to watch?" She finished uncertainly.
"Indeed." Jeanne said, allowing her amusement to finally show.
A girl sandy gold hair and blue-green eyes sighed as she looked up at cloudless, blue sky. "Cassiana? Are you here?"
A girl in a silvery gray blouse and dark washed skinny jeans appeared from thin air. She was a beautiful girl with hair the color of rich honey, her hair cascading down her back in princess curles, her eyes were sapphire green.
"When aren't I here Elearis?" The girl asked, a bored expression on her face. "Is it time to make our move?"
"I guess so," Elearis looked uncertain. "If we wish to find our true Queen then we must follow the heroes to War. Are you certain that the Queen of Celestial Heavens will show up here? She should have shown herself by now right?"
Cassiana gave a small sigh, "That Queen has never regarded time as something that should guide her. But, she'll appear here in this world, I've seen it."
The real question was whether or not the so called Queen of Celestial Heaven would be able to even help them. Thousands of years had passed after all. For all they knew, the Queen of Celestial Heavens wasn't as powerful as before.
