When I opened my eyes the room I found myself in was illuminated with a dim crimson red orb; accompanied by a hooded figure gazing at me. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness I saw that the figure was a woman who's shadowed face gave me a hungry stare as she gave a seductive smirk. When I looked up I saw that my wrists were bound up in a thick chain. When I looked down I was horrified, during my blinded state I had been stripped clean of my clothes! If this were any other scenario I could swear I was going to be sold into some sex slavery ring or some other seedy deal. The woman, seeming to have read my fears stepped closer to me as her shrouded eyes drank in my every curve.

"Have no fear my dear~… I have no interest in making a profit off of your body…In fact I detest such lowly pigs…" She purred as her hand caressed my cheek. Something about her made my skin crawl with pure terror. For someone who was obviously a Caster class Servant, she must have been very powerful in her time.

"Such a beautiful body you have Saiya….so young….filled with such raw power…" She said in a whisper as I heard her footsteps move around me before she stopped and pressed her palm against my back caressing the skin.

"I have been watching you and Saber for quite sometime now which…if her reaction timing to your capture was any indication…it won't be long before she and your dearest brother arrive to rescue you." She said as my eyes went wide. Saber! How worried her and Kai must be right now! I bit my lip as I remembered the heart broken look in her eyes after she had seen me in Rider's arms.

What a horrible Master I've been to her… I thought as I suddenly felt a strange sensation pulse through me. What did this woman just do?

"Wha-What did you do to me…?!" I cried as Caster stepped in front of me again as a grin creased her alluring red lips.

"You are about to feel it my dear…by the time your friends arrive I will know just what makes that flame of yours burn, and by the end of it… you will be a broken mess begging for more~." She said as she broke into a maniacal giggle before a press of her finger against my stomach sent a jolt of heat through my body. As my face grew hot from the increased sensitivity on my body I silently prayed for Saber and Kai to come soon before Caster reached her intended goal.

Saber had known loss before, it was something she'd be akin to before. Seeing her dearest lover sacrifice herself to a sea god, seeing the terror in her father's eyes after she killed her own brother for being unfaithful to his wife, and now worst still, seeing her own Master being pulled into that horrific darkness.

She grasped the hilt of Kusanagi tightly as she glared at the now empty wall before her. Kai and Rider stood at her side dumbfounded, Kai for the fact that Saiya's own father had prided the magical defenses he constructed on the estate to make the house impenetrable.

"S-Saiya's gone….but how could Caster of Black have gotten through the barriers?" Rider mumbled as he shuffled to where Saiya had been and fell to his knees as the tears blurred his eyes. Caster had just captured one of his closest friends, a friend he loved dearly, and he was unable to stop it. As Saber looked at Kai she noticed something on his neck.

"Kai were you attacked by any animals recently?" She asked as Kai's hand instinctively went to his neck.

"Yeah as a matter of fact, while I was repairing the estate while you guys were at the summer house I was attacked by a bat, but I didn't think anything of it at the time." He said as he felt the tiny pricked bite marks on his neck. It was then that he felt a chill go down his spine.

"The bat was a familiar!" He cried and then swore to himself for not having been alert to take precautions at the time. Saber could only grit her teeth as she nodded to herself. She walked towards where the portal had stood and crouched down on one knee rubbing her finger to the ground as she suddenly heard Saiya's cries of agony enter her mind. The force made her grasp her own head as she nearly collapsed to the floor. She heard her Master and she could feel that azure flame sparkling within her mana network.

Sweat beaded down her face as Rider and Kai looked at her in alarm. She looked at them and said.

"I can still feel her mana…she's not very far but we will need to hurry, Caster is….torturing her." Both Kai and Rider winced as soon as Saber spoke those words.

"Alright but we need to-" but before Kai could finish Saber was already out the door with Rider tailing after her. Kai sighed with frustration as he ran out after them using his own abilities to track Saiya. He didn't like this, rushing off without a plan, it felt to him as if Caster wanted them to come. And as if to add to his worries from the corner of his sight a Dead Apostle was dashing for him, eyes radiating a thick crimson as it went for a lunge.

My screams filled the room as Caster continued to torture me by cutting into my skin with her claws only to watch them heal before her eyes. The lashing of her silver clawed whip felt like a beast sinking its teeth into my very flesh each time she lashed me with it. Although I'd have preferred that more over her hands constantly moving over every inch of my body, groping and squeezing as she bit into me with her own fangs. The alien euphoria from the spell she had cast on my body raged within me as minutes that felt like hours passed. Before I knew it I could feel my own body betraying me as the dark whispers penetrated my mind.

The last thing I remember was seeing the corrupted crimson markings appear crackling on my skin before I finally blacked out.
