There was only darkness in this world, no light or colour, just darkness.
"This will be your room," a monotone voice through the darkness.
A room appeared from the darkness. The room was small in width but long in length. The wall was painted a dull cream whilst the floor was oak wood floor-broad. The only furniture in the room was a bed, a desk and a chair, a wardrobe and was a bedside table. The room still looked barren, there were no personal effects.
Then a young girl enters the room. She had pale skin and lifeless topaz yellow eyes. Her hair was hidden by a teal bandana, the bandana was decorated with white roses and lilies. The girl wore a red checker pinafore with a white blouse and white tights.
The girl stared at the floor in front of her. She seems not to hear the monotone voice's words. The door shut behind the girl leaving alone in the barren room.
The image of the room was disturbed by static, the small room was replaced by another room. This room seems craved rock, there was no light source in the room. There was no furniture decorating the room.
In the centre of the room was a girl. This was obvious of Asian descent. She had black hair which was held back in a high bun, her lifeless eyes were a shade of jade green. The girl wore a traditional Chinese clothing, a white chang'ao with a matching skirt.
The girl looked like a doll sitting in the middle of the room. Once again static disturb the image, changing it back to the another. Now, this girl was standing in the centre of her room. The image flicker between the two girls. They were both the same, dolls waiting for someone else to move them.
The image flickers a few more times before it stops on the girl in a dull cream room. She stood there unmoved from her spot unchanged. The on her right a light appear. The light was like when the sunshine through a window. Following the light to its source the girl found a window forming on the dull wall. Once the window was fully formed it slide open, revealing another girl lending on the window seal. The girl had bright blonde hair, grinding at the other girl in the room. She held a hand up to the bandana covered girl.
The bandana covered girl turned to face the girl at the window. She stared at the girl with her lifeless eyes them she moved toward the other girl. Once she was in front of the girl, she reaches out to take the girl's hand. The bandana covered girl stop, her hand was hovering over the blonde girl's hand. She turned her gaze to the door, a fear flask across her eyes when she looked at the girl's hand again. Slowly she places her hand into the girl's hand then the girl pulled the other through the window into the outside world.
The teal bandana fell off the girl's head, revealing the girl's white short hair. The two girls walked away from the window. The further away the girls got from the window, the grew older. The albino hair girl grew longer reaching down around her waist and her eyes became were brightly shining. A very small smile grace her face. She held on to blonde's hand tightly as walked away.
The image then shifted by back to the girl in the stone room. She was still sat in the centre of the room, nothing had changed she was still the same. There was a glitch in the image and once the image had clear it reveal a change to the child. This change was small, the girl had grown a little bit taller but that was all. She still sat in the centre of the room, wearing the same white chang'ao with the same lifeless jade eyes. The image kept glitching and with the image that passes the girl grown older, but she reminds the same. Unchanged. Alone in this dark stone room. With no one to keep her company, play with or talk with. Then the door to the girl's room open. It filled the room was dull reddish light. Standing at the entrance were two Asian men, they were also dressed in Chinese traditional clothing. White changshan with match trouser and black shoes. Then dragged the girl out of the room and through a series of hallways until they came to large circler stone craved room. Touches lined the room, the floor was painted in red paint- no blood, it was a magic circle painted in the centre of it was some kind of stone bed.
The men took the girl to the stone bed, laying the girl on to it. She left there as men went to do something else. More men enter circle room, all dressed finely made Chinese traditional, white with beautiful embroidery gold or red fed. Altogether there were 11 men, ten of them line them around the room whilst the elderly man walked to the centre. The men on the outside began chanting once the elderly man was at the centre. After the third round of chanting the elderly man withdrew a knife from inside of is clothing, he held it over the girl's body and began to recited what was most likely a spell. At hight of the chanting and reciting the elderly man plunge the knife into the middle of the girl's chest. The girl shows no emotion as the knife enter her, what life that was left in her eyes slowly drain away. The girl's blood dripped down the stone bed which active the magic circle. A bright light filled the room leaving the image white but it soon changes back turn back to darkness.
What sad life, nothing achieved, nothing done. This girl was nothing but a doll for others to use, with no will of her own, a tool for someone else. Such a sad life for this girl.
"No!"
A woman's voice cut through the darkness. The voice sounded angry.
"I will not allow this. This will not be her fate. I will give her a life full of happiness and love, even if I have to sacrifice own to make sure," the voice continued on.
A door opened letting light flood into the darkness. This light revealing the Chinese girl once again, she was back in her young child form. At the door was a woman with long white hair that what was mainly let down but the right-hand side was plaited. She was wearing a blue tunic with a dark pair of jeans and brown boots. She was breathing heavily, her eyes swept quickly over the room before landing on the girl. The Chinese girl's eyes fell to the woman's hand, where she had some kind of threads were wrapped around her fingers. There was a red liquid dripped down the thread.
The women continued to stare at the child for a few moments then taking a step into the room, before rushing to the girl. She took the girl into her arms.
"I'm sorry," the woman apologized. "I didn't know that was your fate or I wouldn't have taken you back. But I won't make the same mistake again. I promise that I will give you the best life I can, even if I need to sacrifice my own life," she promises the girl.
The girl stays quiet as the woman pulled away from her. The woman stroked the girl's hair before she picked the girl and left the room with her.
Yuriko's eyes slowly open her eyes. She stared at the wooden ceiling of her bedroom, going over the dream she just had. It was a shared dream, it was a common occurrence between masters and servants.
It seemed that Caster had lived isolated as a child with only one friend to relaid on. And that little girl, who was she and how was she connect to the story of Matilda Ambrosius. Yuriko's mind went blank for a moment, did really matter? It was important to understand your servant's history so you use them effectually but Caster had been opened about her powers and abilities and her states weren't bad.
Strength: C Endurance: Ex
Agility: C Mana: A
Luck: D Noble Phantasm: C+
Even so, why was the dream of bothering her so much? Was because how the girl's families treated them or were her maternal instincts.
Yuriko sat with her mind racing.
"Master! It's time to get up," Caster called from another side of the door. Not a moment later Caster enters the room, she stopped at the door and stared at Yuriko, who was still deep in thought. "Are alright Master?" Caster asked.
Yuriko slightly jumped at Caster's voice. "I'm fine, I just have a lot on my mind," She lied.
Caster silently nodded. She went to retrieved Yuriko's haori then proceed to drape it over her shoulder. Both of them walked to the dining room where Yuriko had her breakfast.
"Have there been any news?" Yuriko inquired.
"No," Caster replied.
Yuriko hummed. "I see, Gilles de Reis and his master still hadn't been found,"
"Assassin and my familiars are looking in every nook and cranny around the city," Caster reinsure her master. "Is there anything you would like me to do today?" She asked.
"No," Yuriko answered. "Save your energy for tonight, tho I would like you to try to find out tonights events," she commanded.
Caster nodded before she dematerializes and went back to her room. She rematerialized on the engawa. She sat down to begin her clairvoyance session. Cleaning her mind and taking a deep breath, Caster closet her eyes and began.
It was night, it appeared that Caster had ended up in an alleyway. Rubbish littered both sides of the narrow space. At the end of narrow passage Caster could see the eerie lights. The lights were then obscured passing in front of them. A man in his twenties walked pass the entrance way. The man had ginger hair, Caster could she see that the man was a dark purple shirt with another white. underneath, he also wore purple jean.
Caster also notices the purple glowing bracelet around his wrist. Caster could tell that the bracelet was enchanted with a simple command spell. The man had two children were following him, their eyes' were blank. The small group continued to pass the alleyway, Caster went to follow them but she felt something under her chin. The preserve forces her chin up.
Caster's eyes snapped open to meet crimson eyes. There were truly beautiful nothing in the world could compare to how beautiful there were, not even a red rose in the middle of bloom could match up to them. Caster continued to stare into the crimson eyes picking out the different colour in them, there was there was shades of purple like jam and mulberry and hints yellow as well.
"So, you've captivated by my beauty?" Gilgamesh queried.
The king's voice made Caster jumped as she realizes she was staring into his eyes. She could feel her face growing hot, she immediately jumped up to put some distance between them. A sly smile appeared on Gilgamesh's lips.
"You don't have so shy Matilda, my beauty is for all to look an upon," he remarked.
Caster took a deep breath to calm her racing heart, she quickly returns to her normal state which displeases Gilgamesh. He enjoys looking on Caster's flustered face, it was the pleasant site but the outer character that she displays was boring. The way Caster stood to remind him of his servants, she stood with a straight back with hands clasped in front of her. Her personality towards her master and the other servants distant but he observed that her personality changes when she is around her familiars, she become quite and soft.
"How may I help you today Archer?" Caster asked.
Gilgamesh cocked his head to the side to study Caster even move. He moved closer to Caster, he stretches out his hand and lacing his fingers into her white hair. At first, Caster froze up but slowly she became used to the golden king touch. Gilgamesh found Caster's hair was soft and silky to touch only noble women could achieve in Uruk but guessing from the way she acts and dressed Caster was from commoner's family.
"For a mongrel you have such beautiful hair, many women would kill for it," he told her as he ran his hand down the strands of her hair to end.
Caster stays quite as she was unsure how to reply. Gilgamesh frown at the young woman's reaction. He dragged albino to her nearest wall, the king sat down using the wall as a backrest. He pulled Caster down into his lap, Gilgamesh wrapped an arm around her waist to make sure the other servant wouldn't escape. Even those she knew that she wouldn't be able to get out of Gilgamesh's hold but she still squirms anyway. A moment for Caster to settle down.
Gilgamesh smile as the woman in his lap, who had to settle down. He reaches his free hand out, summoning a wine vassal and two golden cups. The king pours them a cup each, he handed one of the cups to Caster who gentle to it from him. Caster waited for Gilgamesh to take the first sip before she took a sip of her own. It was strange for her to be drinking in the morning especially wine, she used to drinking cider and beer normally at night.
Silent fell between them. Caster was nervous about Gilgamesh's next move, he was unpredictable to her. The hand that was around her waist slowly move back to her hair, running the threads of her white hair. Caster like it when people played with her hair, Gilgamesh's hand was surprisedly gentle. Finally, Caster began to feel calm. She closed her bright eyes and she lends back on to king's broad chest. Her head fell into the nook of Gilgamesh's neck.
For a few moments, Caster felt at peace but that moment was brief, as Gilgamesh brought it to an end.
"Why are magus interested in getting to the Root?" Gilgamesh request.
"I couldn't tell you, I've never been interested myself. Reaching the Root is mainly a magus families' goal," Caster admitted.
The golden king rises an eyebrow at the girl's comment. From his understanding of magecraft, the higher one's Magic Circuits count was and the better quality mostly likely meant you were from a magus family, and judging by her A rack magic Caster must have both so she probably came from magus family. He stared at Caster as took another sip from the cup.
"Aren't you from a magus family?" He question.
Gilgamesh notices that Caster froze at his question. Her body language changed, she started to fidget in his lap then she took a large slip of the wine. He must have hit on hard spot judging by her reaction.
"No, I'm not from major magus family. I'm from an average family, their nothing special about us," Caster lied, it was obviously that she was lying.
This intrigued Gilgamesh, she had something to hide. Was her family in disgrace or did one of her family members do something terrible making the rest of the family feel shame, there were so many possibilities.
"Oh," Gilgamesh breathed. "Are you sure?" He question, placing his golden cup down so he could lend over Caster. "I can tell by your body language that's a lie," he moves his arm that was holding his cup to wrap over the girl's waist so she couldn't escape. Once again Caster's body froze, she tilted her head forward hoping that left side of her hair and bangs would hide her face from the king's gaze. A smirk crosses Gilgamesh's lips as she tries to separate herself from her present situation. "Don't try to hide from me. I will take all the secrets you're hiding," he whispered into her ear. He began to nibble on the shell of her ear. He watched as the grip on the cup tighten.
"There really nothing to talking about," Caster finally spoke.
"If that was true you wouldn't be trying to avoid the topic," Gilgamesh counter. "Make this easy on yourself and tell me your secrets so there be mine," he commands.
"No," She timidly said. The king raised a golden eyebrow. There was a tiny bit defiant in her, he would normally punish defiantly but this tiny bit suited Caster. "These are my secrets and mine alone," Caster told him with confidence.
Gilgamesh smirk once more before pinning Caster to the floor. For a moment Caster was confused before she knew what was happening to her. She found herself staring at those crimson eyes again, waiting for the man on top of her to make his move. Gilgamesh stared down at the girl, her hair fanned around on the left side. It glows lavender from the sun coming in from engawa, he wonders what it would look with her hair fully down and with no clothes on.
"I guess I just have to bring out of you," Gilgamesh purred.
Caster jumped as she felt Gilgamesh's lips behind lobe. He gently bites the flesh and continues down her neck. Caster tried to push Gilgamesh off of her but he pinned her wrist above her head. She didn't give up on break nor did Gilgamesh. He was planning on teasing her until she on him her secrets. He continued his assault on her neck, his leg that he place between the albino's legs began to push against sensitive area between her legs. Pushing against the area resulting in a muffled sound from Caster, Gilgamesh knew this sound was a moan. He continued on knowing would a moan soon.
Caster lessened her struggle against the man as she began to feel a strange feeling building up in her. It was a feeling that she never had before, it was a nice feeling but it was unlike the happiness she got from eating sweet foods, reading or learning, or the enjoyment she got when she was with Anne-Marie. It was completely different from the feeling she got from the time her and Chi spent together. As the Gilgamesh's assault continues she realize that the feeling was the most likely sexual pleasure.
"My lady, I have some news for you," Reika interrupted them.
A growled left Gilgamesh's throat at the familiar's interruption. Caster's face that was really red from Gilgamesh's action became a deeper shade of red from embarrassment.
Reika's face was cold but eyes showed anger toward the equal anger king. She straight as she could with her hands in front of her stomach.
The anger king stood up to meet the familiar.
"Can't see we were in the middle of something, mongrel?" He growled.
Reika with no fear in her face or eyes answered him. "Yes. I could see you were taking advantage of my mistress," The two glare at each other before the woman continues on. "It's my job to protect my mistress from anything," Reika made herself clear.
Caster, who had got up by stare unsure what to do to de-escalate the situation. She acts without thinking about it.
"Reika?" Caster called to the woman. "What did you come here for?" She asked, stepping forward and coming to Gilgamesh's side.
She turned her head look at her mistress. "I have come to inform you that Assassin has found Gilles de Rais hideout is," She informed them. "Him and his master had been hiding out in the sewer of Fuyuki," She continued on.
The servant pulled their faces in disgust that where Gilles and his master had been hiding.
"Lady Yuriko has already been informed by one of the butterflies," Reika added on.
With this new information Caster notices that it and her vision didn't exactly match up. The man she saw in the vision must have been Gilles' master taking more child sacrifices for their sick and twist plans. So at some point their must of the move to the surface to gather children to take underground. The gears in Caster's mind began to move, there was an outline of a plan but she would need Yuriko's permission to proceed and a bit more Clairvoyance.
"Archer-" She went to ask him but he was nowhere in sight.
"Archer left just a moment ago," Reika informed her.
Caster frown that Gilgamesh had so quickly most likely out of anger. Her frown then turned into grime that the fact she already missed his presence. Shaking the feeling away as disappeared to inquire about her plan.
