Encounter

"This place…?"

A purple sky with red sand greeted them, scattered building debris created a picture of a long lost civilization. A place that is familiar to Bianka but foreign to Kiana.

"This is where Kaslana's stigma space and normal imaginary space intersect, at that time in the koloster... Otto left me here"

"So you could say, this place is still far from the center of the stigma space...?

Eh? Where are the others?" Kiana asked in surprise.

"Overseer Theresa hasn't fully recovered yet. Meanwhile others….

The stigma of kaslana does not suit their bodies." Bianka answered him

"Then Sirin…?"

"I don't know but I think he'll be fine...

As you can see, this place is very confusing, fortunately not long ago Overseer Theresa had already left behind traces of the 'dream eater'. So just mark it using sumeru."

"Okay then lead the way!"

The barren plains with rubble and red sand were slowly replaced by white tundra with cold gusts of wind blowing through them

Snowstorms and white tundra greeted them, the deeper they went the stronger the storm hit before suddenly subsiding to confront them with a towering tower with a Crystal as its center at the top of the tower.

"This place huh"

"Yes, this is the real Kaslana stigma space"

"Your friend is here?"

"Yeah I can feel it. Let's go Kiana!"

They advanced through the ice that blocked them from getting to the tower, but when they were almost halfway a shot from the Crystal at the end of the tower blocked them forcing them to retreat and keep their distance.

"Damn herrscher's power continues to be weakened"

"Don't worry Kianan-san. Stigma rules must be fought with stigma"

"So what should we do?"

"Can you use schariac stigmata?"

"Okay"

Kiana summoned an abiss flower and held it in front of her body with both hands. He closed his eyes and started chanting a spell.

"In the name of schariac. White flowers that bloom in the depths of the Abyss….

Muster all your strength"

With the last chant of the spell, Kiana planted the abiss flower, and thorny tendrils began to spread from the ground towards the tower and began to wrap around it, until they entangled the crystal which was the core of the tower.

Kiana remained where she was and held the seal she made, instructing Saber to move.

"Bianka-san now"

"Oh okay"

'Shirou….

...This light is the hope of both of us'

Memories of the past returned to Bianka's mind along with the deep longing that accompanied them.

'Are you my master?'

'In a little while, we will meet.' Bianka thought in her mind.

He could feel it. It felt nostalgic that they shared, their first meeting under the moonlight and the unspoken promises they shared before parting ways. The sword and the scabbard can finally meet. Unconsciously, tears flowed down his cheeks, expressing deep longing and gratitude for this encounter.

The brief meeting was recorded in the stigma room at that time.

'Just be patient a little longer'

'Yes…. I'll be patient a little longer, Shirou'

It was brief but it was that brief moment that eased his worries. With new determination the saber continued to walk.

"Rhongomyniad"

"Saber?"

The word just came to his lips. His mind was confused and his vision was blurry. Blue, white and gray mist filled his vision reminding him of the sky where he made the promise.

One day my memory will fade, and maybe I will forget her voice and behavior too, but even so, I will continue to remember that I once loved Saber.

He could feel it, the scabbard that missed his sword was near.

It feels so close, but I can't reach it even if I reach out my hand. Even so, even though I can't reach her, she is still in my heart. Being at the same time and looking at the same sky if I keep remembering it, then even though we are far apart, I believe we are always together.

Those who were separated for so long, those who never stopped hoping to meet.

I will keep going. If I set my goals far ahead one day I will be able to achieve what I want.

Their last memory together. parting words that he didn't have time to say to her.

I…. Love you, Shirou

This confession also served as a farewell for him. He was the one who left at the same time as the sun rose

The shackles holding him down had shattered, as his vision became clear the golden blur in front of him had transformed into the figure of a beautiful woman.

"Welcome back Shirou."

"Ah, I'm back saber."
