Return of the guardian
The small church that was in front of the pair reeked of malice and corruption. It radiated forth and seeped into everything in the surrounding area around the building. Clearing out this building was a priority for Her as this was the cause of most of the disruptions in the area. From the malice radiating from the building effecting the mundanes and causing them to act in ways that they normally would not.
Their was also the large number of children going missing over the past few years, though no one has noticed, the root has taken notice and supplied her with the information.
So using her sensing abilities that she gained from Acherko she identified two magical signatures within the building. One she could tell was Kotomine. The other was a servant She knew all of the servants in this wars signiture, So who this was she had no idea.
Sending a carefully directed burst of mana towards the servant as a metaphorical knock on the door, making sure that only they could sense it. Then both her and Mordred waited for them to come and investigate.
It didn't take long, a man in a black outfit with a white shirt, golden hair and red eyes. Her identification skill triggered, Gilgamesh of Uruk.
"Who dares try to summon me like some lowly commoner." he demanded glaring at the two women in front of him. Stepping forward Ilya to make sure he could see her clearly, she needed to deal with this just right, if not Gilgamesh could destroy the city just for 'fun'.
"Lord gilgamesh am I right?" she asked getting a pleased nod from the man. "i am sorry to inform you that the Grail is having to be dismantled as it would destroy your garden and vault if left in one piece." she said calmly "Explain now!" he barked in a rage
" I shall I just request that you calm yourself as you will not take in the necessary explanation in when enraged. As a king is it not wise to listen to the cause before acting on it?" she said playing on his pride as a king.
"Yes you are correct, I shall listen to your reasoning on why this particular treasure is so dangerous." he said pulling a chair from his gate along with some wine. "continue with your explanation." "thank you my lord." sitting in one of the chairs he summoned.
"The grail its self works exactly as designed, summon spirits, and grant a wish after the ritual using a massive resevour of mana collected during the war. The problem comes in that one of the spirits summoned during the third war was called Angra Manyu his title is 'all the worlds evils' due to a ritual his village had placed upon him"
"ahh I see and because his legend says he carries all the worlds evils, he liturally carries all the worlds evils. Correct?" asked the golden king. "yes or at least a close aproximation, and upon his death in the war he was summoned in he infected the grail subverting the grail to his own purposes. And since the grail has a connection to the root of everything..."
A look of rage crossed the golden kings face," then this abomination would erase my kingdom from existance." with a nod ilya confirmed it. "It wont happen though as we are already working at dismantling it as we speak". "Excellent, Excellent."
"may I ask a question about your legend, I promise there is a reason." she asked him
"You may" "in the legend after what happened with your friend you searched you a form of immortality is this correct?" asked Ilya knowing the thin ice she was on.
"Be careful what you ask girl but yes" Gilgamesh growled out at her only to be taken aback by her smiling face "so what you want more than anything is a legacy if I am correct, one that is worthy of your title correct?" this caused pause for the golden king.
When he was alive yes he had taken many lovers but never seriously thought about having children. But now that he was dead, all of his glory his epic deeds his city even his fights with the gods were all now boiled down to nothing more than one poem and a few stories. The epic of Gilgamesh.
A Legacy it sounded good to have someone to carry on the golden blood line. To carry the legacy of Uruk. He had been so wrapped up in himself that it never occurred to him to care. Looking at the girl he realised, she was right, for all of his wealth the one thing he cared about the most was enkidu, what would it be like to be a father. He would never know.
" now that you mention it yes that would be desirable why do you ask?" he asked the girl suspitiously. "i am this wars Ruler but I am a Pseudo-servant. And from the information I have been given by the Root about myself I am what is known as a Nexus. A point of cross-over where multiple paths can originate." this caused shock to hit Gilgamesh and mordred.
"One of these paths is for me to be your daughter."
