Okay so this is the last of the "Vatican" chapters, the next few chapters will be the aftermath of what's happened here.

It's not a long chapter, but it does contain some very important info.

COMMENTS!

IAmJustAndIdiot: WORLD BUILDING FOR THE WIN! Indeed only time will tell if the Round Table meets again. Indeed, being a protagonist is both a blessing and a curse.

The Valkyrie's will have some interesting connections to Tachie, if stories have taught me anything, it's that Valkyrie just LOVE heroes. As for a certain pharaoh with the voice of a certain meme lord, we shall see…

keybladelight: Hildr will meet Tachie soon, as for other Servants? They will appear soon. When Tachie sees Kirei, she'll be running and screaming.

SolSparda369: A possibility, but we'll have to wait.

xbox431: Lotson cares about Gareth, but he doesn't know how to deal with a daughter who wants to be a knight. So he's trying to force her to follow a different path.

As for Gareth meeting her future friend in TotallyNotGalahad, that may take a while depending how I want it to go. Is the mysterious benefactor as mysterious as people think? I left some clues after all.

Well Hildr would deny her job is stalking Tachie, but her job is essentially stalking.

Idiot444: Huh, I never actually thought of doing Tachie X Gareth… and now it won't leave my head. Going to have to think on that one.

Tachie Pov.

Uughhhh, my body hurts… and I'm in my Sacred Gear Again, god dammit! Looking around, I expected some insults or something at least from Draco, but I couldn't see her or even feel her presence.

"Draco?". I asked aloud, getting no response I started exploring, something I had a lot of opportunity to do. The ruined city seemed to exclude a sense of sin, but why it a city? If this is really inside my Sacred Gear, shouldn't it be something that reflects me? Or did it reflect Draco?

I kept walking about, exploring and finding nothing. It was frankly disturbing, seeing a city so dead and corrupted. But the most disturbing part? The longer I stayed here, the more it felt like… home.

Why? Why did it feel like home?! It was wrong, it was destructive, and it was… familiar. I-I needed to wake up or find Draco quick.

"DRACO! WHERE ARE YOU!? GET OUT HERE NOW!". I started shouting panicked, something was going on and I needed to find out what! Run, I needed to get away, get away from what!?

I ran around for a while desperately trying to find Draco, but eventually I found… something. It started with hearing light footsteps, I quickly stopped to listen. It seemed close by, but I could tell it wasn't Draco, she just had this… presence you could feel from a mile away.

Walking, I slowly approached the noise of footsteps, but I had to hurry up as the footsteps got faster. They were running, but from what? Me? Eventually however I caught up to the runner, and let's just say I was surprised.

She was young, probably around 6. She was wearing a white dress that went well with her long black hair and black eyes, it took me a few seconds to actually realize, but she looked what I'd imagine a younger Tachie to look like. What in the world was going on!?

"W-what?! B-but Tachie shouldn't… what's going on". I said aloud, I remembered my conversation with The Entity who gave me this life, he said I wouldn't replace any and instead it'd be changed so I was always Tachie. Sure I didn't have any memories of before mine… Tachie's accident, but there shouldn't be a younger version of Tachie in my head.

For some reason it just caused the younger Tachie to frown and make a come along motion before starting to run again. Desperate for answers I chased after her, she was pretty fast and didn't seem to care about all the spikey rubble on the ground, she didn't even have a scratch on her.

Eventually we ran so far we actually left the ruined city, we were still following a road so I assumed we were going somewhere, and I was right. We arrived at the ruins of an old house, still in good condition but it seemed to be damaged from fire? She entered the house so I followed her.

Even burned it was clear this was once a very nice home, a living room with furniture and a proper place fire, a large kitchen in the corner and stairs up to the next floor. But it the fire place that gained the most attention, on top of it was tons of pictures… of Tachie's family.

The most attention grabbing was the tallest among them, a man who was extremely familiar to anyone who's played Fate/Grand Order. Lancelot… no he was, Lance du Lac, not Lancelot, they just looked alike. He was my… Tachie's father.

Next was an almost adult besides Lance, looking like a slightly younger version of Olivier. He had a nervous grin on his face, probably from being included in the family photo.

Tachie's mother was… was… wasn't human. That was my only thought as I stared at her, the fluffy wings on her head a sign of a Valkyrie from Fate. She was wearing a beautiful white dress and had long black hair going to her knees, her kind grey eyes seemed to shine through the picture.

I-I don't understand, Tachie doesn't have any non-human traits! I ran my hand through my head just to make sure I didn't suddenly manifest the wings Valkyrie have on their heads, which of course I didn't. Olivier said my… Tachie's mom was an exorcist!... did he lie to me?

W-wait maybe this, wasn't a family photo? But that woman really does look like me… Reincarnating or whatever you want to call me becoming Tachie was weird but acceptable, she's fine. But, the idea that I may not be fully human was… terrifying.

Okay think, if my mom really was a Valkyrie, Olivier must have a reason to stay quiet. Maybe it was a secret? After all I doubt a Valkyrie was welcomed to the church. Or maybe he lied about my mom also being an exorcist?

Or… maybe Olivier didn't care at all, after all he dislikes the church a lot, but who says he's any different from them? Dammit! I want answer!

"You! Why'd you show me this, is it even real? Or are you just fucking with me. What even ARE you?". I demanded answers from the, little Tachie. She finally said her first words to me.

"Silly, you're being silly". She replied, a younger version of Tachie… my voice. What's going on I, didn't keep thinking like this earlier, what's going on? "Look at the picture". Her words grabbed my attention and I turned to stare at the picture.

I couldn't stop myself, tears started flowing as soon as I realized the one thing I missed in the picture. The child Tachie, she was sitting right there, happily smiling besides her mother. Why was I crying, I don't feel sad! But the tears kept falling.

It finally snapped into place, what was going on. I should've realized it, things aren't as simple as just Tachie coming into existence when I came here.

"You're… me, the other half of Tachie. The one who represents my memories, Tachie's memories. That's why my heads been so weird since I've got here, and why that city is ruined. It's not Draco's influence, it's my mental state isn't it? You brought me here to show me my family". I'm not sure if I was entirely correct, but my other half nodded with a smile.

"Yep! We're Tachie, and it's time you fully awaken!". She replied, unknown to me my eyes had turned the red they would in my Demi-Servant for. What I was currently thinking was what she meant by awaken.

"What do you mean? I'm already capable of using my Sacred Gear and I don't think we can even use a Balance Breaker yet". I asked, I can't think of any other ways I'm not 'awakened'.

"You're Servant form! We can't use it at will yet. It's our mental state, you've played the role of Tachie, but you've not really become Tachie. We're one and the same, you need to accept everything to get your full power". She explained. So I've not been accepting myself? I… yea, yea I've not really have I?

I'm Tachie Kyrielight, whoever I was before is still a part of me, but who I am now, is Tachie. I don't know if I'm fully human, but if I'm not? It doesn't change anything, I'm still me.

I don't think fully accepting every aspect of myself will be instant, but recognizing the problem is the first step.

"Than….". In the middle of my thanks I turned to look at my other self, but she was gone. You know, I'm going to take that as a sign of improved mental health. Talking to yourself was NOT healthy.

My dream world started fading away, I was waking up. I don't know what's going to happen next, but I'm going to try and do my best!

Yes, NOBODY expected that with Tachie's mom did they? Did you REALLY think Odin was having Hildr watch a random girl for no reason? As for what's going on with Tachie's mom, Olivier having secrets, you'll have to wait.

Omake! The Original Valkyrie and the New Valkyrie.

Now I'm sure some of you are wondering from last chapter, what exactly is going on with the Norse Valkyrie? It's rather simple actually.

There are 2 types of Valkyrie, the Original Valkyrie and the New Valkyrie.

The Original Valkyrie are based upon *REDACTED*, they were created by the Chief God Odin as his daughters who lived more as machines than living entities. However once an Original Valkyrie has tasted love, they begin to change and become more human, because of this they lose much of their divinity.

The New Valkyrie are not artificial creations, but rather different human or close to human races that have trained under the Original Valkyrie's. They are arguably weaker than the Original Valkyrie's, but this really depends on the Valkyrie.

As there are so few Original Valkyrie remaining, Odin mainly keeps them in Asgard protecting their most important treasures and weapons.

As for Brynhildr, she's the Fate version design and personality wise. However she was also met the same fate of Suicide by flames. She is considered the most respected of all Valkyrie even now, but perhaps in this modern age she may rise again…

This does mean there's no silly "Brynhildr" title given to the strongest Valkyrie, as that was just… stupid.

I did consider making ALL Valkyrie like the Fate ones, but I decided to instead have there be 2 different types of Valkyrie. As for what *REDACTED* is… You already have an idea, don't you?

But I do have a question for you guys. Do you want me to include more… sexy stuff? This is a DxD fic and while I don't want to write sex scenes, I don't really care about writing sexy characters and stuff. I'm mainly thinking of just using it in small amounts every now again as this is, DxD.
