Alter

The cold hands of death creep up on me while I lay in total comfort and bliss. The sins of the Holy Grail tighten around my throat and choke me until climax. All the Evils of the World flash before my eyes as a small girl with hate in her eyes and dark red blood on her lips. Its my blood. I dagger spills open my guts and I can see my heart beating outside of my chest as it is devoured. Is this what Lucifer felt when he fell from Heaven? Is this what happens to all heroes in the end.

None of it matters. Not the girl, not the Grail and not your wish.

It has to.

Does it? They all betray you. They all hate you. All the good you did and where did you end up. On that fucking hill on Camlann.

I killed my daughter so I could save her from myself. Save my kingdom from my error.

And look where you ended up.

What are you.

Isn't it obvious? I'm your subconscious. The little devil on your shoulder.

Am I dead?

No We aren't, we're just getting started.

I feel cold.

I'll call the electrician. It'll taken them a week to get out here though. So you'll just have to get used to it.

I don't want to die.

I know, I can't promise anything but we will give them one hell of a show.

Will I get to see her?

Who?

The Girl?

Probably, I don't really know. I've got to say though you have excellent taste.

I just wanted to be happy.

And you will be, just not with her.

With who?

With my silly. And Our new master of course.

Who is that?

She won't tell me her name but I never really asked.

Can I trust you?

No.

Don't kill her, that's all I ask.

I'm not here to kill her. I'm here to kill servants like you should be doing. I'm here to save this fucking world from all the shit people do to each other. I'm here to save you from yourself. But I can tell you right now we don't need that fucking Holy Grail to do it either.

I do love her.

I know. And you deserve happiness. Guinevere gave you that to remember. But she left you just like everyone else. Except me. I've been here this whole time. I've been in this shit longer than you actually. Now be a good little girl Arturia and don't mess this up, I've got a good thing going here and we need to be working together in order to pull it off.

Are you the devil?

I'm far worse. I'm real.
