Chapter 2: The Second Master

Unisberg with a population of 22,004, three of which are the known Masters of the city, however that's without counting the handful of Heroic Spirits that also occupy the city!

Heroic spirits, the materialization of a spirit from a man, woman and sometimes beast who have achieved great deeds, fact or fiction. Their renown echoing throughout time, granting them the worship and appraisal of humans. It is these spirits that become the very Servants that fortunately or unfortunately grace the Masters of the universe. That being said, the Masters of Unisberg are no exception. Three men dealing with extraordinary beings in one shape or another...

To the East side of the city where the money is thicker and the roads cleaner lies the Waterbridge neighborhood home to another Master and his servants.

"Damn it, where am I supposed to walk my dog now?! That park was the only place he'd go poop! I'll have to train him all over again!"

"Huh? Were you addressing me Mongrel? Surely you can afford the time, you have nothing else of importance after all. Begone before my joyous generosity fades."

"I'll take this up with the leasing office!"

Mr. Sanders, famed for his 10 timed prized roses, dog show host and winner of course, and respected mayor from 25 years ago was something of a Heroic Spirit himself within the city. And today he had sworn to none other than Gilgamesh, that he'll do something about the Mesopatamian superstructure that now occupied not only the park, but three more blocks of the neighborhood.

"Now, this is true art and beauty, something that far surpasses that flat sided stack of blocks," said Gilgamesh, King of Heroes, aweing at his own creation made with one of his many Noble Phantasms.

With much pride he ascends the steps crying out in laughter, a laughter to be heard from the Egyptian pyramid across the street. Gilgamesh, much like how Nightingale is masterless, though he remains near the Master within Waterbridge out of amusement for their unstable conditions to say the least.

"The nerve of that mortal, to set their home before mine! What is a king of heroes before, I King of Kings, and the greatest Pharaoh of all?," a tall, muscle bound man of darker complexion and raven black hair stares down the pyramid across the way, stroking his pet Sphinx. Ozymandias, a servant to the Master next door, was a man of great pride, and that pride was challenged. Another man to take up arms against Gilgamesh in this property warfare.

One may begin to wonder, between the pyramids, and supernatural beings, that the Master may be something of a CEO, perhaps the mafia boss of Unisberg, he has to live in something equally charming and grandiose. That would indeed be the case, if it were another universe. In a large enough two story home outfitted with a sizable pool for leisurely swims and a garden out by the porch lives Shou.

"And that is why I, Nero Claudius! Am truly the best umu!"

Nero Claudius, the 5th emperor of Rome, you could say she was Shou's premier servant as a Master. She currently touted her bowl of macaroni as she presented her case to being the best there was, as to what no one knew, for no one present was listening. Shi Huang Di was in his usual corner sipping tea and reading the paper passing judgement on whatever court case was being held. Meltrylis was in the act of getting off to an episode of Wiped Out, "If only there were more spikes and leashes," she'd mutter some variation of those words to herself from time to time.

"Nero, could you please get the Master, I'll be needing the next issue of the paper," Shi Huang Di sets down his tea.

"Umu, I was just going to fetch him myself! It appears great minds think alike after all! I'm off!"
