Welcome!
SUMMARY: What if Tohsaka had another apprentice? What if this apprentice was not all that she seemed? What if was someone from a certain Golden King's past? How will the king react to being reunited with his long lost Queen?
Now, this is gonna be a tough one but worth it. To start with, I'll be putting what Fem-Harry will look like on the story cover pic. She'll be powerful but hopefully not over the top. I mean come on! I'm pairing her with Gilgamesh as his reborn wife, she's gotta have her own power to keep him in-line.
LOOKS AND ARMOR
(And other things)
Now, for her armor, she will have the armor of Prototype Gilgamesh only change it to suit a female, change the shoulder armor to be smoother and curved with the 'necklace chain' that connects them I'm changing to the phases of the lunar cycle and the shoulder pads with have moon symbols on them. The waist and hip armor will stop before her belly button and be more suited to her curves, change the red 'skirt' to moon silver and change the golden colored armor to moon silver. For her chest she'll have a black under top designed like a tight form-fitting tank top and over that will be silver chest armor that stops below her ribs and the top half will kinda be like the upper half of Fate Zero's Gilgamesh's chest armor, mostly around the neck bit if that makes sense?
I hope my description was okay, I suck at doing armor descriptions most of the time. Not one of my strong points I will admit.
For her weapon she will have Enki the weapon Prototype Gilgamesh/Archer uses, it can be twin blades or tonfas and a bow! Look online for Prototype Gilgamesh (or archer) vs Prototype Saber for the weapon in action. Anyway, she was given the blade by Gilgamesh as a gift for mastering her weapon skills and as a bonus honeymoon gift.
And lastly, she has her own gates known as 'The Lunar Gates of Babylon' after being recognized as the Queen and bonding with Gilgamesh she was blessed with her own gates which connect with her husbands own in a few ways and why Lunar? Well, you'll see later on in the story! I've given away too much all ready for you guys! ;)
Now, timeline stuff, just know that when fem-harry is born it will be a couple of months after they left Hogwarts and she is a young teen when the war reaches it's peak(I'm having it so the war takes a couple of years to build up before kicking off) and her little sister is born.
WARNING: Messing with Timeline, ages, Dates and years, swearing, bashing of certain characters, hints of sexual themes, blood, violence, some people being idiots.
Bashing of Dumbledore, Ron Weasley, Alive/Potters! Umbridge, and a few others I will remember later.
I do NOT own Harry Potter or the Fate Series, just my Oc's and story idea! Here we go!
CHAPTER 1: A War on the Horizon
TORINO, ITALY
It was a sunny day in Italy as people went about their day, most were tourists visiting or the locals going about their daily jobs and life. Among them, however, one such tourist was not there for the sunshine or local attractions. In Torino, a meeting was taking place with people of the Church and a hidden world of magic and mages.
Inside a meeting place of neutral ground stood a priest, his grey hair giving away his old age and his wrinkled eyes gave him a closed-eyed look. His robes neat and clean as beside him stood a young man, his brown hair was short and spiky with brown eyes that held a blank look in them as he stood in his black priest uniform.
They were Risei Kotomine, a priest and moderator of the Holy Grail War on the Church of the Eighth Sacrament's behalf and beside him was his son, Kirei Kotomine a chosen master of for the Holy Grail war as evident by the red markings on the back of his right hand.
The next person was a man, he had black hair and blue eyes he had on a crimson suit with a white undershirt and a blue ribbon keeping the shirt closed. He was standing near a table with a bottle of wine and a glass, this was Tokiomi Tohsaka a mage and head of the Tohsaka clan.
The fourth person in the room was a 16-year-old girl, she had shoulder length black hair that was slightly wavy held in a ponytail. Her dark green eyes were darting between the priests and the man she was standing beside, her outfit consisted of a buttoned-up white longsleeved top with a black tie and a simple grey coat rested on the chair beside her, she had on a grey knee-length skirt with white stockings and black shoes. Her build was that of a swimmer but still developing along with her C-cup chest, her skin was fair as the lights shined off her skin this was Alexis Tohsaka the oldest daughter of the Tohsaka clan and current hair to the family she stood to the left of her father.
The last person in the room stood the other side of Tokiomi, the person was a young woman around the age of 16 but she held this air of maturity to her as she stood watching the proceedings. Her natural red hair fell to her mid-back and slightly wavy was currently in a braid and put into a bun, her fair skin-tone almost seemed to give off an unearthly glow under the light. Her bodybuild was that of a runner with smooth toned muscles that were still developing along with her C-cup chest that was just a little bit bigger than Alexis's chest at the moment, her clothing was a simple white top and black suit set giving her a professional look.
But the most eye-catching thing about the young woman was her eyes, stunning emerald green eyes that would outshine the gem itself if not for the slightly blank look in them. She had a look of someone who was missing a piece of them but was not letting that get them down, she glanced over at Tokiomi before looking at Kirei with slight interest.
This was Emily Nightingale, or it was a name for her since Emily did not know her real name or rather she did not remember it. But that is a story for later, she stood silent as the meeting began.
"A command seal?" Kirei asked confused.
"Yes, the mark identifies you as a participant in the Holy Grail war, stigmata, bestowing on you the power to command a servant, Kirei Kotomine," Tokiomi said before lifting his right hand to show his own command seals.
Kirei then lifted up his own right hand to look at his command seals.
"The Holy Grail War, the battle for an ancient relic that performs miracles, but why me?" Kirei asked as he put his hand down.
"Normally, those chosen by the grail as masters for the servants are experienced and accomplished mages it is highly unusual for someone like you, who has no connection to magic what so ever, to be chosen to participate," Tokiomi said as Kirei took the information in.
"Heroic servants, I still find it strange to command the summoned spirits of ancient heroes to fight as familiers," Kirei said as he Tokiomi nods.
"Of course, I know all of this can very difficult to believe but heroes from every age and nation will come back to life in the modern world killing one another for supremacy, that is the Holy Grail War," Tokiomi said. (Note: Not entirely sure what he said at the end there so I changed it to 'for supremacy')
"Also, there is an unspoken agreement among all involved, to keep this all secret, to ensure this rule is kept someone of the holy church is always sent as an observer," Risei said looking at his son making Kieri turn to him slightly.
"Should one of us really be judging? A secret battle between godless magicians?" Kirei asked as Tokiomi poured himself a drink.
"A mages association member or even a member of the wizarding society would be too partial to one party to ensure fairness and so once again just as we did some 60 years ago we've recruited your father to watch over and referee our battle," Tokiomi said as he poured another two drinks which his daughter and first student took with a polite nod of thank you.
"My father will be coming to Fuyuki?" Kirei asked slightly shocked before looking at Tokiomi.
"But wait, how can this be considered fair? It's a conflict of interest for the overseer's child to also be a participant," Kieri said and he had a good point in Emily's opinion.
"Tokiomi?" Risei said making the mage nodded.
"Perhaps it's time we got to the point," Tokiomi said as he started to walk.
"Kirei, everything we've spoken of thus far is just the official background of the Holy Grail war, however, there is an additional reason I've introduced you to Mr. Tokiomi Tohsaka here today," Risei said as he began to walk as well so both Tokiomi and Risei began to circle Kirei.
"And what would that be?" Kirei asked.
"Actually, we found proof a long time ago that the holy grail that will appear in Fuyuki is not the sacred relic that belonged to the son of god," Tokiomi explained as Emily moved to stand by Alexis.
"So I gathered otherwise an order to retrieve it would have been given to us of the Eighth Sacramento Assembly," Kirei said as he looked between his father and Tokiomi.
"Be that as it may, Fuyuki's Holy Grail is far too powerful to ignore, it is an omnipotent wish granting device who knows what disasters it could unleash if it happens to fall into the wrong hands," Risei said as Tokiomi spoke up.
"In which case, the best course of action would be to ensure that the Fuyuki Grail falls into the right hands, hands that would not misuse it," Tokiomi said as he glanced at Kirei.
"The Tohsaka's are a family of mages but they are mages with a long history of friendship with the church we know what kind person Tokiomi is and more important than anything else the Tohsaka's ultimate intention for the grail are plain and honorable," Risei said as he held his arms behind him.
"To reach the Root, that is the Tohsaka families soul desire but the Einzbern's and Matou's have both forgotten the wish we once shared with them and have other less altruistic plans now," Tokiomi said as Alexis glanced at Emily who nods as if to confirm this little bit of information making Alexis's sigh and look back at the meeting before her.
"It goes without saying that the plans of the other masters will be even worse, who knows what dark desire they may harbor for the power of the grail should they obtain it," Risei said a hint of worry tinting his words.
"With that being said, I assume that the goal of my participation is to ensure Tokiomi Tohsaka's victory rather than to prevail myself?" Kirei asked as Tokiomi nods.
"To achieve that goal we will conduct ourselves in a manner that will maintain the appearance of us being enemies, however, we will actually be working together in total secrecy to soundly defeat the other five masters and assure our victory in the end," Tokiomi said as he glanced at his daughter and apprentice.
"And so Kirei, you will officially be transferred from the church to the mage's association where you will become my second student," Tokiomi said as he stopped in front of Kirei while his father stopped behind him.
"The orders have already been issued," Risei said as he glanced over.
"You will go to Japan and study the principles of magic and become a mage of sufficient strength and skill to command a servant in the Holy Grail war in three years time when the battles begin," Tokiomi said before taking a sip of his drink.
"You will be working alongside my first student, she will help you learn and adjust," Tokiomi said as Emily steps forward and bows in greeting.
"Greetings Kirei Kotomine, I am Emily Nightingale, you're senior in magecraft and magic if you have any problems please let me know and I'll do my best to help," Emily said as Kirei gave her a small bow back, she then steps back next to Alexis.
"Now then," Tokiomi said as Risei spoke up.
"Do you have any questions for us Kirei?" The father asked his son.
"Only one, how does the Holy Grail go about selecting its masters? What kind of criteria does it use?" Kirei asked as he looked at Tokiomi.
"Hm, the exact criteria it uses are unknown but it chooses those masters who need it most," Tokiomi said as he stared at his drink.
"So all the participating masters have a reason for claiming the grail?" Kirei asked.
"Not necessarily, I'm told that in the past there were cases where command seals appeared on those whom you would never have expected," Tokiomi said before looking at Kirei a look of understanding passing through his eyes.
"Oh, I think I understand you're still puzzled at being chosen to be a master by the grail aren't you?" Tokiomi asked as Kirei stood in silence at his words.
Alexis sighs as after a few minutes Kirei gave his consent and agreed to be Tokiomi's student.
"That's good to hear, Emily could you go and help Kieri pack for his journey? He is to be immediately transferred to Japan in two days time," Tokiomi said as Emily nods.
"Leave it to me, come Kirei," Emily said before walking over and leading Kirei out as Alexis went over to her father.
"That went a lot smoother than I thought it would," Alexis said as Tokiomi nods.
"Indeed it did, Alexis can you phone your mother and tell her that we will be returning in three days time? I need to speak with Risei about something," Tokiomi said making Alexis nods as she left to go and phone her step-mother.
She was half-way over to the phone when she paused by a window to watch as Emily and Kirei walked away from the building, she then looked at the sky above them as some birds flew by.
'In three years a hidden war will be on the horizon, I just hope I live to see the end of it and that father will not be in and over his head, I wonder what you think about all of this? My friend' Alexis thought before shaking her head and going over to the phone.
In three years time, she would get her answers, one way or another.
Done!
This is basically the prologue in a way, the next chapter will focus mainly on Emily after the three-year time skip and her background.
Also, little warning Gilgamesh might be out of character but only around his reincarnated wife cause he only shows his soft side to her and if anyone else sees said soft side then swords will be flying!
