[A/N] - Yes, I am back with a new chapter~. Sorry to make you wait that long dearies but I was kept quite busy with tests but also had a minor writer's block. I still do, but slowly it goes away. This means I will not know when I will update next but I hope soon. Since this story is not finished I have also to make my research for the future chapters as well as thinking nice twist plots and ways to keep this book interesting.

This chapter might not have so much action or some might find it boring but like the fillers and flashbacks and narrations in all anime, it is essential. Don't forget to let me know in the comments. Anything u guys want to tell me or correct me or give me ideas or requests.

Shout out to SerenaCrimsonEternity for her R&R.

SerenaCrimsonEternity: Like I said above dearie, I will update when I have a chapter ready along with time. Please be patient and all will come.

P.S. I don't own any of the characters minus my OC. Enjoy!

Everything else seemed to be in slow motion. Fenice looks at saber who without a second thought had folded her metal gauntlets to form a step which she used to eject with force and a little bit help of her wind, Fenice towards her master.

Her scythe had dematerialized as she appeared in front of her master and covered her with her body. The flames strike the two of them and Lancer mentally cursed his master for forcing him to attack a master.

However, his eyes widen as through the flames a figure appeared. Fenice jumped high above the flames, not a small burn mark on her face; unlike her young master who had a few but not serious ones.

How is that even possible?! Your fire is supposed to be able to burn everything! his master screamed in his mind and caused him to flinch.

It does burn everything. She must have a trick on her sleeve, he replied back as Fenice landed a few feet away from the fire. She glared at Lancer, golden eyes seemed to glow under the dim light like the eyes of a predator when it follows it's pray.

Lancer had to admit those eyes were mesmerizing and that came from him whose beauty mark was especially enchanted so almost no woman can resist his charms.

Lancer retreat now! the servant's master ordered through their mental connection and the heroic spirit clicked his tongue as he knew he had to follow her order.

"I would love to see what other tricks you might have but unfortunately that will have to wait until next time we meet at the battlefield", Lancer said and gave a bow before jumping away.

"Hey!", Saber shouted and was ready to chase him when a voice stopped it.

"Let him", a young male voice said and everyone's eyes turned to a young boy with brown hair and bronze-dull gold eyes.

"Master! You shouldn't be out in the open"

Master?, Fenice wondered as she seized up the boy.

He was no older than 14, his brown hair was messy and he wore a simple pair of grey sweatpants, black trainers and a red jacket that was zipped up.

The Dragon Queen and Anna were surprised to found that one of the masters was such a young child who should have stayed away from this bloodshed and madness that was named Holy Grail War.

But unfortunately, he was and they knew there was nothing they could do.

The boy walked and stood next to saber, his eyes looking at both females with nothing but empathy and sincerity.

This boy is too pure for a war like this; Fenice thought and mentally greeted her teeth from anger.

"Master, with all due respect; I told u to stay in the dark. Showing yourself like this is dangerous", Saber said/scolded the young boy as she lowered her sword.

"I know but they are not someone who I should be hiding from. You know her and I can see that you trust her"

Fenice had to give to the boy for his observation skills, even though after this battle; everyone who had seen could guess there was a connection between the two female heroic spirits.

"Still, there could be familiars watching us right now", Fenice said, remembering that their dear "ally" was keeping an eye on almost everything.

"I agree. This was quite the foolish move master"

"Perhaps, but they would end up seeing my face sooner or later. Couldn't hide forever, could I Saber?"

"It would worth to try at least if for once heard my opinion"

The boy smiled, enjoying the scolding but also concern that was coming from his servant.

They were right. She is quite overprotective, he thought before looking back at our two heroines.

"Well then, after this I believe out battle is postponed, unless you want to continue Saber", Fenice said, fixing her grip on her master.

"No, your master is hurt and I believe it is enough for today. There are plenty of days to come. Unless, of course, you want to continue"

The two women smiled at each other, a sense of de ja vu striking both of them along with memories from the past.

Anna looked at the young master, who also seemed curious about the relationship between the two women but didn't say anything.

"*clears throat* I believe this is where we part ways Saber and her master?", she said after a minute of silence.

"Indeed. Hope we meet again, as allies or opponents", the boy said before walking away.

Saber gave Fenice once last looked before following her master, her metallic shoes echoing as she walked.

Fenice looked at her master before turning her body and walk towards the motorcycle, both servant, and master unaware that a crow was sitting at one of the light poles and had watched the whole battle.

At an old, castle-like house on the outskirts of London

A specific mage was sitting in his dark office, the only source of light is a few candles. The man's face completely covered by the shadows, his two big hands the only thing visible.

The dark wood desk was completely empty minus a crystal ball in the middle, held by the man's two big hands. The balls showed Fenice and Anna climbing on the motorcycle and driving away.

A deep laughter echoed through the room as the crystal ball stopped showing any images. As the laughter continued, a strong wind came out of nowhere and caused the flames to flickers before finally dying; leaving the room in an internal darkness.

Back at the castle, Anna was sitting on the couch while her loyal servant was carefully wrapping her burned hand with a set of white bandages. The young homunculus left out a sigh and watched outside, small water droplets were falling from the sky.

"All done", the redhead said as she stood up and put the first aid kit on the wooden and glass coffee table before sitting next to her master.

"Thank you, Fenice… Can I ask u something?"

"Of course master, go ahead", the spirit said as she grabbed the mug with the hot cocoa and took a sip while enjoying the warmth that was coming from it.

"How do you know Saber?"

The question almost caused her to choke on the hot beverage even though at the back of her head, she was expecting it. However, she finally found herself torn by saying the truth to her or not.

She knew, however, that they were at war and sooner or later everyone's identity would be revealed.

"It's a little long story. Let's just say that she and I going way back"

"So you know her true identity", Anna stated which Fenice confirmed with a nod of her head, her eyes focus on the cocoa. "That could work for us but then I guess she knows your identity as well"

"She does"

"*sigh* Ok then, I will contact Julius for a meeting so you can tell us exactly what you know about her", the master said and her servant bit her inner cheek.

She didn't trust the man nor = his servant and she preferred to keep such valuable information from them. However, not only they were allies and that could cause a conflict but both master and servant were powerful enough to assist and maybe even protect her young master.

Then, her mind went to their battle with Lancer and how they knew each other. It was obvious that they had met more than once during the previous grail wars which made her wonder if Gilgamesh may have an idea about Saber and Lancer identity.

"Fenice", Anna's voice snapped the girl back to reality as also two fingers snapped a few times in front of her face. "Good, you are back. You spaced out again"

"Forgive me, Anna, I was in deep thoughts", the dragon queen said as she took a sip of her cocoa.

"It's understandable. Fenice"

"Hmmm?"

"How come you weren't burned by Lancer's flames?"

"I am immune to any fire sorcery and the element of fire in general", she stated simply which actually shocked the young mage but then again….

She is the queen of dragons; she thought which made more sense.
