Shirou had a good life with his adoptive Mom and had met her side of the family who was intrigued by his abilities which Artemis deemed him worthy of being her adoptive son, but what soon saw made them realize that Shirou was just an innocent child thrown into a tale of tragedy.
With his Biological Parents taken from him by the collective malice of the grail, his adoptive father fallen victim due to the grail's curse...
The only thing he has left is Artemis, his Adoptive mother.
The Olympian Council then nurtured him and helped raise him into a fine warrior and mage!
Without Artemis knowing, of course...
She would flip a gasket if she found out that Shirou was being trained by her family.
Due to her biggest secret being known, she wanted someone to call her own, like many of her family members have, children.
Artemis would secretly become a doting mother as she taught her Adoptive Son, her only son what she knows in combat. Archery, Hunting, and Knife Combat...
This was Shirou's life until it was taken away so abruptly...
At the same week, Shirou was deemed too dangerous in the face of the Olympian Council.
Why?
Because the Olympians had trained him to use his Magecraft abilities, along with the fact that he had fought against Greek Monsters before, this was a clear sign that Shirou had gotten powerful...
That and the fact that he had beaten Ares when they spar, along with Hecate who personally trained him...
So this was no shock.
This was the time when Artemis's visit became scarce, as the Olympians secretly gave her more tasks to deal with before they finally erased her memories of Shirou, courtesy of Athena, Dionysus, Hecate, and Apollo.
As her visits became more scarce in days, which turned to Weeks...
Weeks that turned to Months...
Months that turned to Years...
Leaving Shirou alone once again.
This has not included the fact that he accidentally became a Master in the 5th Holy Grail War, as he faced other Servants while also facing his future self!
He had no one to go to except Rin, Taiga, and Sakura...
But as he sulked about his once big family, the one he has now slowly dissipated in his journey to becoming the Hero Of Justice that he dreamt of as a child.
When he won, Saber returned to the Throne Of Heroes, both Taiga and Sakura stayed in Japan, while Rin and Shirou left for England to the Mages Association, but as the time came, his fate was sealed.
He became what Archer tried to prevent...
Himself...
He became the Hero Of Justice that he was doomed to become, even when clear warnings like Archer had come to prevent such a destiny...
It was at this point that Shirou began to realize, that his life was doomed to repeat even when he traveled back to the past to prevent such a fate.
But he realized it too late and so the cycle will keep going regardless of the interference, his fate was sealed the moment Kiritsugu saved him from the Burning City Of Fuyuki...
It was also at this moment he thought about why his Adoptive Mother and extended family left him, could they have known his fate from the very beginning?
Could they have warned him beforehand or did they not care?
Was he another worthless human to them?
Did they even love him as a family in the first place?
Did Artemis even love him as a son she wanted or was he just a failure in her eyes?
These questions and more plagued his mind, as he kept on saving people regardless of what problem they may have...
These doubts and questions grew and grew with each day, developing anger and resentment toward those he called family, the one person who he called Mom and most of all to himself who sealed his fate by not realizing it any sooner!
This fate was not changed in any way and still followed its predetermined course...
They were no changes or any false adjustments, he had already signed the contract with Alaya, and he had fought in the war that would've killed him regardless...
And here he is in plain White clothes as the people he defended gathered around to see the Execution of the "Supposed" person who started their war...
And with that, he smiled one last time before the platform he stood on was taken away before gravity did its thing and made him fall down before he died by the people he protected.
Before he died from being hanged...
And with that, his life ended, while his fate continued...
This was the moment that Shirou Emiya died...
And the moment where the man he became, Archer was born...
Chapter Ends...
