Pov?
The sounds of my footsteps provoked by my bare feet touching the rough ground as I ran as far away from those things as I could while repeatedly repeating to myself the usual words of my mind (I have to run, I can't slow down even a little, those things have been chasing me for a while now, they must not reach me at any cost otherwise my brother's sacrifice will have been in vain.) were the only thoughts I could have that They kept me sane when I arrived in this strange place, not even the time to understand where I am and strange beings similar to starfish tried to assault me, the only thing that came to mind was to run away from those strange beings making me lose my tracks in the forest, but it seems that I did not succeed.
My feet footprint me hurting with the contact with the hard earth paved with stones, I left footprints made of blood, maybe that's why those monsters are still chasing me, but I can not do anything about it even with the pain I have feet I can not slow down those monsters if they reach me my new life will be over.
I ran so much enduring the pain of the wound that formed under my feet makes me cry from the pain, but I have to resist, it wipes my eyes and I ran as fast as I could, but something bumps my right foot causing me to fall to the ground, my head droopingon something hard, I tried to get up immediately but when I touched my head with my right hand I realized that it was bleeding seeing the hand slightly stained with blood, I was about to get up when I heard a strange growl coming from my shoulders, I turned around and my blood froze.
In front of me I see five of those grotesque-looking monsters chasing me that were approaching me, I tried to get up but I couldn't the pain was too laciniate to bear, I tried to drag myself as far away from them as possible , hoping for a miracle to make me survive as the tears fell from my face.
(Because has me, after all the sacrifices Oni-chan made for me this is my end, no I refuse there must be a way out in this situation. ) with these last thoughts continuesi has dragged my body in pain doing thus ruining my black dress feeling the footsteps of those things that were getting closer and closer, while I dragged myself away from those monsters with a strong desire to survive, my right hand touched a strange surface smooth lying in contact With my blood it is then a huge magic circle I surround myself.
The light intensified with the passing of the seconds and a strong pain in my hand appeared, looking at my hand I realized that I had a strange symbol in the back of my hand, but something was wrong the monsters seemed afraid of something, but I soon understood why after less than a second in the circles exploded a dazzling light that I blind myself while feeling a strange connection that absorbs large amounts of mana from my body.
When the glow disappeared in front of me there was a man or a woman I can not define the gender of the person to front me, his facial features seem both of a girl and a boy, his hats are long and silky with of a coloring light green like his eyes, he wears a long white tunic that covers all body except for his arms and feet.
"Servant, Lancer. Enkidu, Your call has activated me." I speak while I received a surprised look when he saw me but was replaced by a gentle while a smile formed on his lips, he began to look intornor maybe to understand where he is but when his eyes pointed those monsters I was surprised by the scene in front of me.
Pov Enkidu
How strange someone is summoning me, strange it seems that there is something difert this call, it does not seem more a request for help than a summons, what do I have to accept, maybe I hope it does not come too late. .
So I accepted the summons and I find myself surrounded by trees, it seems that he has been summoned into a forest, I moved my gaze down and finds an unexpected surprise a child no more than eleven years old dressed in an elegant black dress that footprintI was torn in several places, the Her hair is black and two-eyed amber that for the moment was letting out small tears
"Servant, Lancer. Enkidu, Your call has activated me." I introduced myself to the little girl who seems to be my master seeing the comand spells in her hand, but when I looked at him well I saw the wounds that his body carries counting also his frightened look, I looked around to understand what was happening.
It is there I realized why my master is scared, in front of my eyes there are five beings that do not belong to this wohrd, the connection I have with nature finds them only disgusting parasites that only harm life, calmly I looked at the five beings who remained there stopped for a while and then Approaching me, I smiled serenely at the approaching monsters "Sorry, but I can't let you touch my master again." I pronounce in a calm tone and polite to those five beings whom I venerate piercedby my chains.
Turning to my master who looked at me amazed by the scene I decided to parlagli "from now on you will not have to worry with those monsters do not bother you again master." I pronounced in a friendly tone towards the little girl in front of me who now looked at me both suspiciously and curiously "Why do you call me Master?" she wondered me while it was my turn to be curious "Master do you see those marks in the back of your hand." I pronounced pointing my finger at her right hand, the little girl followed my words I wade her hand with surprise looking at her comand spell in the shape of a chain that covered the whole palm
"those are comand spells, spells that bind us as servants and masters, their ability are very useful both in battles and or for impossible situations, but you only have three you should use them sparingly master."
After my explanation my master remained silent a littlebit 'and then turned his gaze towards me "you said we will have to fight, but why should we?" he asked me while I looked at her with even more curiosity, I did not understand how this poor child ran into this war without knowing anything I was sure that in front of me there was a magus thanks to our connection but I did not imagine that he did not know anything about the conflict that entered involuntarily "master you do not know that you were ta chosen to participate in a war of the holy Gra al" I asked my little master.
But something in my words agitated her seeing her open her eyes wide and her breath increased, she felt in our cohesion that the child is agitated and afraid of something but I did not understand what "how is it possible, because this astonished war haunts me, not soldier this is a war who are called the servants!" exclaim with horror my master as I saw her panic, I decided to discard my questions that appeared like a river in flood and occupies me the mental well-being of the child "Master calm down, it will not happen to you Nothing if you stay in my presence, take long breaths and calm down, fidgeting now will do nothing ." I lowered myself to reach his head while I spoke to him I put a hand in his head stroking it.
the little girl took a while to calm down but for my joy that look that showed fear disappeared with a Quiet "thank you ... sorry but I don't know what to call you." she say with gratitude and then stop realizing that she does not know my name even though I had introduced myself, better so at least I can prevent my master from undergoing some mental spell that can damage his young mind just to know my real name "just call me Lancer, master." I pronounced receiving from my master with a nod with the head "ok Lancer thanks for saving me, but please call me Miyu."
I just nod my head with a small smile "so Miyu what do you want to do now?" I asked my master with curiosity while the latter remained a while to reflectand then told me his decision "Lancer I want viceroy the Grail!" exclaim Miyu with determination as I ford with concern "Miyu no offense but the war of the holy grail is not a suitable event for a child, are you sure you want to participate?" I asked seeing the determined look of the child do not falter even with my words "you Lancer, if I am not mistaken to the winner of the war of the holy grail true granted a wish, I want my desire to be fulfilled." Miyu speaks decisively.
I sigh hearing her words I watched Miyu looking for some way to convince her to change her mind, but I found nothing "but can I know what yours desire ?" I asked Miyu while she was undecided to talk to me but in the end she confided to me "I just want to save my Oni-chan." I speak with slight regret Miyu "sacrificed a lot for me, just to allow me to have a happy future to the point of sacrificing his life too." I speak bitterly as she looked at me.
" is you want ghive him back his happiness by risking your life." ends his sentence with Miyu confirming with his head "Miyu is a noble wish, but you could fail this war is not normal, dont are seven masters with their servantsnt, fighting to have the Grail, but now the participants have increased to fourteen It will be a real massacre you are sure you want to participate." I tried for the last time to convince her to withdraw from the conflict but unfortunately it did not work, her gaze did not falter even for a second.
I sighed for not having convinced Miyu to retire, with a smile I nodded at my Master "ok if this is your decision!" I exclaimed while raising an arm in mid-air and then making my chains appear around me "I the second lancer, I swear to serve you and give you the Grail." I pronounced solemnly with Miyu's look he was stunned seeing my chains dancing around me.
"Thank you Lancer, I hope to be a good master for you." I pronounce Miyu with gratitude, I only nodded with a smile while suddenly a strong magical source familiar to me appeared far from here, I smiled at the thought of my dear friend Gilgamesh, I did not expect that he too had been summoned to this war.
(Let's send him a little message to warn him of my presence.) I thought looking at an undefined point where the magic source was, so I knelt resting my right hand on the ground and I began to hum a short melody, the surrounding environment began to take life reviving the silence with its sounds.
all the sounds that were produced by nature followed my song creating a harmony in the forest, until a strong earthquake spread throughout the city for a while, until it stopped along with the other sounds when I stopped humming and got up turning towards the Miyu with a surprised look "Lancer what did you do?" she wonder me with surprise for what I did a few seconds ago, I smiled at him as I replied "nothing, it's just a message for a friend of mine." Miyu looks at me doubtfully but nods and then tries to get up failing, the wounds that are on the soles of his feet prevent him from getting up.
"Lancer what do you, I do it alone." she replied as I took her in my arms to carry her safely "you can't, Miyu your feet are completely covered with wounds it's a miracle that you managed to walk to reach this place." I spoke sternly to the little girl who turned red for the reproach that to immediately.
"Okay, Miyu could you tell me where you live? so we can rest for this night." I asked politely to the little girl in my arms who became redder and redder, how strange because she is embarrassing, but I received my answer when Miyu began to speak "to tell the truth I ... I didn't... a place to call home." she speak to me in a hesitant voice, I raised my left eyebrow trying to understand the situation because there were inconsistencies, at first glance it seems to me that she is a little girl who ran away from home for the Holy Grail, but it would be impossible When I told her that she was chosen as the master of this war she had panicked and this is to be discarded, maybe her brother dragged her out of her family who abused her and entered this war involuntarily, this was more ofabile butnot feasible there is insufficient information to understand what happened to him.
I look at Miyu still embarrassed by the situation I sighed exasperated looking at the stars in the firmament (it seems that I am took a problematic master's degree that I have to deal with.) I thought with a smile on my face, in the end I had to take care of a little girl something that does not give me Annoying, in the end children are the most precious treasure of past generations who have trampled the planet before them.
with a smile I looked at Miyu and then spoke to her "don't worry Miyu is a minor problem now I have to take care of your wounds." to my words Miyu nodded as if she were agreeing so I began to head out of the forest.
Third person POV
In the alley near the port, a hooded figure is sitting with his back to the wall while writhing in pain, the man is in a very bad state from his skin which is of a pale shade with several folds covering part of his face, he has white hair, his eyes are off is only the left eye is of good condition beingdo that showed the color a dark gray color with Forehead of the right eye which is with purely bleached, his body also covered by a black sweatshirt and dark jeans and dark tennis shoes, you could see the poor state of his body seeing only his hands that are slightly skeletal.
The man coughed incisively as if he had lung damage, but the cause of the cough was the excessive use of mana to feed his servant BerseRKer, but the consumption he received for having deployed her servant brought her into that state, the answer is no, after the clash against the two Archer his servant saw the woman riding that black horse and everything went wrong, his body was torn apart while his servant went crazy, fortunately he managed to make him withdraw in time.
with a cough the man looked at himself to see his condition, which for him were optimal to get up "at least I figured out which of the two Servants Arche is that of Tokiomi ." I pronounce with difficulty because of the pain he felt at this moment.
"But at what cost, you understand which is the servant of the family Tohsaka, but those worms that the Matou family cappo put on you are devouring Kariya more and more." I pronounce a new figure dressed as a priest approaching the man called Kariya "so, I don't care, if I have to die to free Sakura from that hell then I will be happy to do itKotomine Shirou." I speak Kariya with annoyance towards the albino priest who smiled at him "Plus your information was inaccurate, you told me that the servant of Tokyomi is an Archer who shoots weapons." he accuse with hostility the master of the first Berseker, The young priest raises the hands for realizing the hostility of his supposed ally "I did not imagine that the second Archer had characteristics similar to the Archer of Tokyomi."
Kariya sighs wearily, he was right how he could know that the second Archer had similar abilities the King of hero, but something he does not care much about, his Berseker outclassed him both in skill and strength, it will not be a problem to win the war of the holy grail.
With difficulty Kariya walks to go to the place to rest while Shirou Kotomine helps him to stand, not knowing the true intentions that the youngest of the Kotomine has towards him.
near Riyuudo temple
In a street lit only by street lamps, Sieg and Leatece head to their rented residence.
Throughout the journey Leatece did not stop looking at the condition of her servant who did not stop losing blood in the shoulder, a strange feeling isnow spreading in her heart, worry, guilt and helplessness, all these feelings harassed her with guilt, do not count that her servant had warned her of the danger of the war of the holy Graal a l and she decided to participate in the same even without having a very specific desire, but the feeling increased after the fight with that knight seeing the condition of Sieg, Leatice felt helpless, could not help Sieg neither as he fought and after, only thing he could do was help him walk as several lines of blood spread in his wounded arm.
Sieg turned to his young master feeling her gaze towards him, when the ruby red spheres and amethyst-colored spheres met he could see something, Sieg did not understand human nature, he could not understand what all the emotions but he could tell if a person did not feel comfortable or was worried.
Leatece and Sieg watched for less than a second, as Leatece moved his gaze away from his shyness, "Leatice you are fine ? you look depressed. " asking as they continued to walk, Leatice jolted hearing the homunculus' question, turned his gaze with a serene fake smile trying to calm homunculus acanto she "everything has placed Caster-kun, it must have been your imagination." that answer made a sound alarm bell in Sieg's head, but he could not continue to talk about it, a strong presence was approaching them, with the few forces Sieg pushed away Leatece that fell on his butt remained suppressed by the Action carried out by the homunculus, Sieg prepares in a defensive position ready to fight even if in these conditions not resist for long.
In less than a few seconds in front of sieg and Leatece a figure with long green hair wearing a long white tunic covering his body is in front of them, the servant looks at her with curiosity, and then be quite surprised seeing Sieg " I not imagine that a homunculus of the modern era would ascend to the throne." declare the green-haired servant, Sieg was quite surprised by the statement of the opposing servant but did not lower his guard even though press of his hand of his sword was weak because of the pain caused by the wound on the shoulder.
Enkidu I look at the servant homunculus calmly, he did not feel threatened by a servant enemy wounded and weaker than him, but he could not deny the tenacity of the homunculus intent to protect his master, in the end they were at war is a servant shows up before exhausted by a provable fight it is normal to be hostile towards him, in the end they were in the same situation, Enkidu was in front of them for the following reason he felt the presence of another servant too close to him and his master, he decided to check if they could be dangerous for the life of his master.
The air around the three became heavy until a sigh of the green-haired servant came out "you should not strain yourself too much homunculus, your wound blocks your movements a lot, a clash with me would lead to your death."
I speak calmly Enkidu while Sieg does not down the guard "I already know, but I can't risk it me to let my master's life be thrown away just for my act of cowardice. " reply Sieg with a decisive tone that surprising Enkidu increasing his curiosity towards the Homunculus in front of him "if so determined to protect your master, giving up your chance as viceroy the Grail?"
Sieg falter not even for a secondhis gaze became fierce as that of a beast, hearing the question of the weapon of the gods "yes I would, my desire is to understand human nature, I do not need that holy cup." He replied without hesitation making Enkidu jump surprised by the words of the homunculus, Sieg shifted his gaze to his master "Leatece get away from here, I will not know how much I can keep him at bay."
At Sieg's words, Leatece watched him for a couple of seconds as that feeling of helplessness spread, his mind beginning to -imagine- an image of his servant pierced by several golden chains as his ruby red eyes lost their luster, Leatice she couldn't stand it, she understood that Sieg would die if she ran away and that guilt made -her imagine- those scenes where Sieg was skewered to death by golden chains sticking out of the ground as she ran away.
(I can't let Caster sacrifice himself to protect me.) weight Leatice, with speed he got up and stood in front of the two servants who were surprised by the action of the girl "Leatice what are you doing, run away from here!" exclaim the homunculus towards his master who did not listen to him, but something surprised the couple of servant and master, a laugh that came from the green-haired servats "I did not imagine to that would exist peple like you." replied Enkidu with an amused smile on his face, I look at the couple with serenity understanding that they are not a danger to his master maybe they could be a help to heal the wounds she got while running away from here being that followed her so she decided to make a deal with them.
"don't worry I was not here to attack you, if I wanted to harm your life I would have done it without wasting time." I declare in a friendly tone towards the couple Master and Servant "but it seemsthat you can help me is my master and I will help you."
Enkidu's statement surprised the two by making the place remain silent for a second until Leatice I speak "is what do you need?" I ask Le a tice with curiosity, Enkidu did not take long to answer with a small bitter smile I speak " Unfortunately my master is injured and we have no place where he can stay, if you give him a roof over his head at least for to night I promise you that I will protect you all the way."
"Ok, if this is the conditions we accept." I declare Leatice without hesitation, Sieg remained motionless looking at his master with a sigh I put on his sword with Enkidu who smiled merrily you have two "ok, wait for me here that I'm going to get it." he declare and then leave like a splinter.
Leatice sighed in relief as he rested his hand on his chest trying to calm his heartbeat, what he had done had been crazy he knew very well but he could not sit still watching his servant be killed in front of his eyes.
"Leaticea please never do it again." Leticia turns her head to Sieg who looked at her sternly as he approached her with difficulty "sorry but I couldn't stand to see you die like this." I declare with regret the blonde towards Sieg "I know, but my job is to protect you will not I forgive me if I fail this task." I declare Homunculus to the blonde who is saddened by his words "I know, but it's worth the same with me Caster I don't want the person who saved me to be killed without doing anything."
Homunculus sighs in resignation as he leaned on the shoulder of the blonde who blushed feeling the contact with the homunculus (this was the feeling Ruler felt when he protected me.) think Homunculus remembering the time he spent with Ruler, nodding his head Sieg decided to continue this discussion at a later date, the second servant was now back with a little girl in his arms.
"To the we can start, go ahead ," Enkidu declared with animosity towards the two who nodded at the request and started walking with Leatice holding Sieg.
Fuyuki Church
in the church where the superintendent of the Holy Grail war presides, Rasei Kotomine I observe the landscape that granted the position of the church, a landscape that brings tranquility to his mind aged for some time, his attention turned to the figure of his son who headed towards him.
"I'm here to ask for protection, I was the former master of the first assassin that fell a few hours ago." I declare Kirei towards the superintendent who I observe him with seriata "accetto your request Kirei, I Kotomine Raiser the superintendent of the fourth war of the saint Grail, I promise to provide you with protection for the duration of the war as the regulation says." the priest firmly declares , turning to enter the church followed by his son.
as the two walked through the chapel Risei stops in front of the altar "it seems to be going as we planned." I declare Risei turning to Kirei who sits in a bench near them "yes,even if it was unexpecteddid from so many Servants who could be summoned, that second Archer has an ability similar to the king of heroes." Riser nodded with confirmation even he did not imagine another being who possessed that firepower.
"Don't worry Master, that servant won't have a chance to live with us in the shadows." one voce speak a gloomy tone "Don't underestimate him he managed to resist the offensive of the king of heroes even if he was helped by that Berseker ." a second voice appears a little more resolute " listen to it, too much arrogance leads to death, let's wait for the right moment and let's eliminate it." a third female voice with a freddo tone is serious appears so little by little several black figures with the same skull mask filled the chapel "we first assassin of the fourth war of the Holy Grail Hassan of the Hundred Faces we are ready for any of your master orders." exclaimed all the personalities of Hassan of the Hundred Faces making the priest smile believing that this war would be a walk in the park for his ally Tohsaka.
Ok that's where the chapter ends.
Now a couple of precisions, first because I chose Enkidu as MIyu's servant (who I will surely regret having let him enter this war together with Heracles) simple the dynamic between Enkidu and Gilgamesh has always fascinated me and will allow me to soften Gilgamesh now that he has powerful avesari to deal with, the reason why Miyu managed to summon this servant without the catalyst is simple, Enkidu and Miyu have a couple of things in common counting that there was only one free place left which is the second lancer helping her to summon him, for the magic circle that appeared was it was the intervention of Zelretch, the owner of the second magic could not leave the child at the mercy has here monsters, so decided to give a hand but you could not imagine that by mistake he added a piece that would make this conflict much bloodier.
The second is shirou kotomine and kariya, this little scene explains why kariya knew that Tokyomi's servat is an Archer.
Ok I greet you.
