Fate series is one of my favorite series by Type-moon. The most intriguing part of the series for me are the heroic spirits. When I found few heroes who were referenced but did not appear, I thought about their lives and how they will feel if they entered the Heaven's Feel. So this story is born.
Happy reading.
Review Responses:
Gensou no Sekai: Sorry about that, since this is a series of one-shots, technically they are already complete. But I will continue them as I got more idea for Servants.
TheSylentnight: If someone wants to use them or write their Holy Grail War, I don't mind. But I am not good with a 'battle-scene' so I don't think I can write the story...
...I didn't even plan their description at all. I just write their legends and part of their story in the Grail War, just let your imagination do the rest of the story.
Slayer End: Rather than Reality Marble, they are more similar to Aestus Domus Aurea from Fate Extra. Similar to Reality Marble but not the same... I guess I should edit it...
Nemrut: No problem.
Guest1: If I have an idea, I will write them when possible.
Guest2: Yeah, I should be careful. ...making Karna or Gilgamesh level characters would be problematic.
ryu238: Updated. Sorry about that. I will try to update this if I got an idea for the Servant.
Fate/Servants
Six Legends of Asmodeus
Who is he? Now that is a good question.
His name? It was Aēš- no, it was Asmo- no, it was Ashm-
Oh well, it did not matter.
His name was Aēšma-daēva, The Embodiment of Wrath.
His name was Asmodeus, The Prince of Lust, Devil of Hell.
His name was Ashmedai, King Ashmedai of Ars Goetia, the Thirty-Two.
Before that, what was he?
Aēšma? The Embodiment of Aggression? Formerly One of the Amesha Spenta?
Asmodel? The Archangel of April and Taurus? One of the Angel of Love and Romance?
Wait, he also recalled being born of Naamah, one of the Four Angels of Sacred Prostitution, Mate of Samael. His father was Adam, the first human.
But that would contradict his past as Aēšma and Asmodel.
So, who is he?
Ah, that is correct. That is how his, no their myth has been distorted.
He was a Messenger of Ahura-Mazda, Yazata.
He was a Messenger of Tetragrammaton, Angel.
He was a son of a Succubus and a Human, Cambion.
He was a Servant of Angra-Mainyu, Daēva.
He was a Prince of Hell, Devil.
He was a Pillar of Goetia, Demon.
He was not One but Many.
They were Aēšma-daēva, Asmodeus, Ashmedai, Aēšma, Asmodel and a Nameless Cambion.
He recalled disobeying Ahura-Mazda, telling the Prototype of God that he would stop feeding humans Aggression. He saw what they have done to a Sinless Child, the poor child they sacrificed as the Prototype of Devil, the All World's Evil.
He remembered rebelling against his LORD with Helel, trying to help his friend as much as he could. He was sent down to Hell, as a punishment for defying his LORD.
He reminded himself how he tried to play tricks with humans, lusted after humans, sealed by the Wise King. He became insane as he was sealed forever by the other seventy-one Evil Spirits.
But that is not all.
He recalled serving Ahura-Mazda, enhancing humans' rivalry so that they would compete with each other, helping them grow stronger. He recalled his accomplishments as the humans shook each other hands and promised each other for a rematch.
He remembered serving his LORD, finding good husbands for daughters. He remembered helping his fellow Angels of Romance to bless a newly-wed couple.
He thought back about how he helped humans, protecting women from abusive husbands, playing tricks only on the wicked.
When did he start to fall? Why did their Legend become like this?
He wanted to erase mortals' ability to stop hating the boy. To stop them from trying to kill the Sinless Evil. He raged against the Prototype of God. Demanding him to free the unfortunate Sacrifice from his miserable Fate as the World's Evil. The God, angered by his disobedience, cursed him with Madness, the Madness of Wrath. To his name, Aēšma, the title of a demon was added, Aēšma-daēva.
He was reminded of Helel, the Morning Star, how Helel was sent to serve humans, how Helel had seen humanity's cruelty and grew more twisted, how Helel finally had enough of humanity's presence destroying Light and raged against their LORD. He wanted to save his friend. Even if it meant rebelling against his LORD. He was transformed, as with how Helel became Lucifer. Asmodel was no more and Asmodeus took his place.
He fell in love, he fell in love with a wife of Solomon. She was beautiful, both in the inside and outside. However, Solomon could not see that. Solomon had multiple wives and would rarely pay any attention to her. He saved her, at least, he believed he did. He took her outside of her prison, to see the world, to enjoy the world as he did. However, Solomon found out. And the King sealed him with the Evil Spirits. The Evils corrupted him, they made him into one of their own. One of the Pillars.
He could not recall which one is the true him.
Spirit who believed in human potential?
Angel who believed in his friend?
Cambion who lived with humans?
Crazed Demon of Wrath, killing everything to protect the Sinless Evil of the World?
Lustful Devil who lived freely in Hell?
Insane King who ruled over one of the Pillars of Evil?
It did not matter to him, though.
None of it did.
Even if he was one of them, no one would care.
His fellow Spirits hated him for becoming Wrath.
His fellow Angels hated him for rebelling against the Lord.
Humans would never accept the existence known as Cambion.
He had no friend as Wrath, everything is a target of his anger, even the Sinless Evil feared him.
His only friend, Lucifer became more twisted as he fell from grace.
The other Evil Spirits never consider the others as their ally.
Perhaps it is the influence of his past as the Aggression.
Perhaps it is the influence of his past as the Angel of Romance.
Perhaps it is the influence of his past living among humans.
He wanted someone as companion, as someone who would stay with him even with his distorted past.
Someone who could accept him as the Aggression and Wrath, Love and Lust, Mischief and Madness.
But that is an impossibility.
No humans could be as twisted as him.
No humans could accept what he is.
An Amalgamation of Six Legends.
Abomination with Six Identities.
A Monster.
So why?
――――I announce.
Why did he hear a voice calling him?
Your self is under me, my fate(doom) is in your sword.
No, the voice called for Asmodeus.
In accordance with the resort of the Holy Grail, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer.
This Ritual, this Wicked Ritual prepared a woman as a sacrifice, as an attempt to summon a Devil. Two of his Identity, Romance and Lust woke. One wish to save the woman, the other wish to take the woman for his own.
Here is my oath. I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the dead, I am the one who lays out all the evil of the world of the dead.
No, at the same time, The Grail calling him is calling Aēšma-daēva. It called for It's Protector. Two of his Identity, Aggression and Wrath raged, trying to save the Sinless Evil of the World, trying to continue their role as the child's Protector.
You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance ―――!
The human who spoke, is Evil while the Sinless Evil is trapped inside It's new form. Should he answer this call? The remaining two Identity inside him stayed quiet.
Yet, thou serves with thine eyes clouded in chaos.
The Sinful Mortal is trying to bind him with Madness. Foolish, he is the Origin of Madness, it is an Impossibility for a human to bind him. The Evil Spirit inside him growled, desiring the foolish mortal's death.
Thou, bound in the cage of madness. I am he who command those chains.
No, the mortal could not command him. However...
Perhaps it was curiosity, but the only silent Identity began to react. Curiosity arose in the Cambion and the Six was summoned.
The Six arrived within the World of Mortals.
The Sinless Evil's presence disappeared. Perhaps the Object sealing It was stronger than he had expected?
Two mortals were with him.
The mortal who summoned him, carried traces of Madness, Wrath, and Lust.
Amusing, it explained why the mortal managed to summon him.
The mortal who was placed as a sacrifice on the other hand...
The Servant of Six Identity turned towards the sacrifice.
A girl, a young girl barely on her teens. Memories of the Sinless Evil who was sacrificed, of Helel who became twisted thanks to humanity's evil, of the pure wife of Solomon who gained his interest.
The sinful mortal man began to spoke.
The Six Identity acted as one and the mortal died, his eyes wide open in surprise as the Servant who he summoned stabbed him with his hand.
The Six watched the mortal fell without any emotion. He turned towards the horrified girl who watched him with eyes full of fear.
Should he?
Unanimous agreement came from the Six Identity.
He held his hand out towards the girl.
The girl froze. After a long silence, she took his hand.
For the first time since his curse, since his fall, since his imprisonment, Six Legends of Asmodeus smiled.
Servant Berserker had accepted his new Master.
