Chapter 5
Etherlight Academy
In the past, there were many children. Children clearly who would love to be the fairy princesses's family and friends.
But, they were made from kidnapping. So, the two fairy princesses tried to put them back to their families out of guilt, since the changelings replaced them anyway. Though, they either stay adopted in the end or made up.
Since those friends are kidnapped usually against the princesses's wills, the young princesses were lonely and only have each other for a while. And their usual playmates and cousins that made up the Otherselves are busy, somehow at the time.
The feeling is only temporary. But it lasted 5 months at the time.
However, the fairies have a great plan. To create a human private school called Etherlight Academy to bring in more talented humans to save fairy kind, the whole time.
Led by Queen Sweetpea, or Principal Holly Drake, of the Seelie Court of the Fairfolk Lands.
She was looking at the black vest, red ribbon bow, and white plaid skirt that Estelle has.
In her black blouse dress, she observed back and forth at her wardrobe and her new school uniform.
Every age has to wear it.
Unless, it's a teacher, Estelle guesses. Not knowing how school uniforms work, as she's a 11-year-old.
Etherlight Academy is a way to make the Draiocht princesses not lonely, supposedly? No, it's just that fairies want to blend into human society, that's all.
Now, Daphnis Draiocht, her father and the fairy king had invented a way to make fairies immune to iron. They can finally try out the mortal realm as Daphnis used to rebel and go to.
God already gave him his blessing to marry his wife, Peony before she was sealed with him as a Forgotten to escape a mob for a century for being heretics. He had prayed to a statue of Jesus apparently, and it must've been because he didn't want to hurt people because of the 10 Commandments she studied.
Many fairies usually make deals with humans and other fairies for children to be their own, a long life is not what fairies wanted, but a human life span and basic survival.
Some fairies had to watch their mortal loved ones die if they decided to go home.
Unlike the Never Never, they knew what they wanted after all.
What's the point in staying in the same place forever? They discovered that brownies have it all good sometimes, though…
The Fairfolk Lands may be beautiful, but…it's not enough.
They would like to visit that one Italian Treehouse Hotel that their precious Daphnis went to.

Ember may be a bit…bored. Waiting for her orders by the princesses only, of course. All the princesses does lately is talk to this old man vampire that came from another world.
Or…another Earth, as superhero comics would call it. Sure, she's interested in all that smart stuff the princesses were doing, and suggested that she herself become one of their witch familiars, but…
She does want one of those white star cats with bat wings stuffed animals that Estelle made as one.
A cat sith named Nebu merged with the stuffed doll, took a liking to flying and made Ember a bit jealous.
When Zelretch and Estelle used the scientifically labeled to her, 2nd Magic Kaleidoscope.
Estelle and Skylar have it, but stronger to teleport on their own, the whole.
To bring several powerful mages to train them into bettering their 'Magecraft.'
But these teenager looking strangers behave, so eccentric to her.
Ember has been waiting to see or do some action, when a red haired apprentice…what's his name again? Shirou, isn't it.
"Excuse me, can I borrow the kitchen?"Ember left with Shirou immediately, weirdly excited to do something at all.

"Being famous for being an anime is…well…"Rin has been staring at this video game cover in disbelief.
Fate/Stay Night, huh?
Well, Shirou can't help, but sweat at the imagery of his life at the 5th Holy Grail War pasted in manga form on a DVD Cover.
"Hey, what's going on?"
"Oh, Fate/Stay Night? We've watched that. You guys came from this game, right?"
Shirou stopped at Estelle's bubbly curiosity.
"Back, before I was hospitalized in an artificial human tank.
I did everything with Skylar, and I'm sorry to admit this, but I kind of have a crush on your rival."
"My rival?"Shirou asked quizzically.
He doesn't understand, all he does there is try to keep people from being in the cross fire of that very Holy Grail War, that he used to experience in Rin's very hands.
"Gilgamesh, of course."
"Huh?"
There is a pause for a while.
"I realize something, it's a dating simulator, but all it does is make you pick a random path and you date either, Saber, Rin, or Sakura.
Which path did you take? He barely did anything to Saber in Rin's and Sakura's"Estelle asked mysteriously with caution in her voice.
"I remember my future self trying to kill me."Shirou replied.
"Oh, Rin's Route?"
Rin stammered in disbelief.
"Matchmaking aside, looks like your efforts are enough to be recorded in history."Zelretch chuckled.
"Don't worry, I'm an incarnated version of…this…"
A DVD of Black Rock Shooter is in her hands, but she seems to do it to maturely explain.
"Since Illya is alive in some of my memories as the heroine, you're not the version 'I' met in that school."
Holding a DVD of chibi characters that are mainly girls, Rin recognized herself and who everyone knows as Saber by now at a bottom corner.
'Nendoroid Generation' it said in Japanese.
Aching to smile kindly like usual, Rin and Shirou can't help but sweat at how embarrassing the other DVD is, the times have changed lately. It's not 2004 anymore, after all. However, for a girl that's been lonely for years with her twin, they both remind them of Sakura, despite how similar the other one to Illya with how smug-smart she is.
Not only that…, even though those highschool students are not Shinji, the submissiveness is what's similar to Sakura that all Otherselves have.
Estelle is just more bubbly, whenever she's in a better mood. And Skylar is…a groupie to Estelle. It's kind of odd to think, but it's like she's a fangirl more than a twin of hers that just happens to look like her.
Meanwhile, in a void space. A pair of red eyes with slits seemed to be smiling and eyeing the cheerful looking dark haired child in gothic lolita dress, and overhearing the conversation.
It…

Shirou can't believe this…Gilgamesh was summoned because of the DVD he's holding, they tried using a magic circle called Metatron's Cube to summon him. But…normally in a normal setting and probably boredom.
But…it summoned him as a child though.
"Ah…the spell is too weak!"
