My unusual (step)mother
A fate stay night fanfiction
Chapter 1: prison
I was… to have my ego destroyed, my spirit, my self vanish as I turned into the grail.
At least, that was what was supposed to happen.
It seems that a rather large part of what was my consciousness got freed from the process of destruction to become the greater grail.
There was something wrong…
There was destruction EVERYWHERE.
This was wrong.
The dark mud, the taint from the grail.
This… all this destruction
It was my own fault.
I saw a poor boy, who was trying to escape from the horrors that assailed him, all the people dying, screaming for his help, yet the boy ignoring them in favor for his own life, it sounded horrible, but to be honest it seems as the kid knew he would be unable to help them without dying.
He wanted to live… but the scream of the dying and the dead.
It was unfair, the poor boy caught in all this, all these people.
"No… please no"
The boy's eyes began to cloud as life began to leave him.
"No… even if just him… I don't want him to die… please… stop this!" She yelled in desperation.
Her own memory of her own daughter played in her mind.
A block of a building, it collapsed.
"WATCH OUT!" She yelled as she rushed up to the poor boy.
It was then when something happened, my sense of self… began to be absorbed into the boy… It was then when my vision began to slowly fade, my senses were linked to the young boy.
The boy was trapped, I could feel his will to live slowly leave him. I could not do anything.
All I could do is watch and experience as the poor boy slowly died… the mud of the grail burning.
It was killing me, all of this, all of this was my fault.
The wish that me and Kiritsugu had fought so hard to attain.
This was the result.
I cried bitterly, clawing at myself… but no pain would come, I could only experience emotions, nothing physical.
And so… the boy slowly began to die due to the smoke.
It was till what seemed to be hours when it happened, it couldn't be… it was so impossible that I did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Kiritsugu Emiya, he looked nothing how he was before, his eyes haunted, looking everywhere, trying to save anything.
His wish was to make sure that the blood he would spill would be the last humanity had to.
That was their shared dream.
Only to see it being twisted into a mockery.
Salvation via mass human genocide.
No war can be started if there is no one to wage war with.
And what is worst of it all… the curses of the mid spilling from the greater grail had cursed him and cursed him heavily, due to him denying the birth of what laid inside.
And she was trapped seeing all this and unable to act.
Maybe, this was her punishment.
A puppet playing human, what else did she expect, even her emotions were fake.
But where they really?
She thought of Illya, now bereft of her mother, and a gather who was now being eaten by the curses… he held the young boy, weeping, thanking him for being alive, for a given value of it at any rate, and thus he took him to the nearest hospital.
Whether this was real or not, an hullucination as her soul was whipped by Akasha…
As her own eyes begun to close…
"Please… Please don't let it end like this"
