Important: So it turns out that I don't have as much free time as I thought I did. And I can't get chapters out at a faat enough pace that I'd like to. Would anyone be willing to help me write this story to its completion?
The fourth war was different. Instead of seven masters, there were fourteen. Two opposing sides of a single conflict. The masters of the holy church, who went under the name of the Light Faction. These were the members of prominent mage families: Tohsaka, Einzbern, Matou. Each master of Light went into this war with the thought that this would be like the wars of the past. Where seven mages battle to the death for the honor of winning the Holy Grail.
But there was another sect of seven mages who held similar mindset as they did. The mages of shadow as they had come to call themselves. Each of them had their separate reasons for wanting the grail, but they all agreed on how to attain it.
Miyamoto Musashi, Sir Tristan, Lu Bu Feng Xian, Yan Qing, Saint Martha, Helena Blavatsky. Those were six of the seven servants of shadow. They were the unfortunate ones who fell during the last war. As did five of the servants of light.
On the last night of the battle, only 3 servants remained. The Saber and Archer of Light, Artoria Pendragon, and Gilgamesh respectively. And the Lancer of Shadow, Scathach.
Now, merely ten years later, a new set of Masters must fight over the Holy Grail. Both new and experienced mages will take part. But alongside them lies a hidden shadow, a relic from the last war. One that was granted another chance.
Masters, Keep your eyes open, and your mind clear. The fifth Holy Grail War will be unlike any experienced before.
