Chapter 14

To summon a Servants, is to make an irreversible contract

The nature of the Holy Grail War dictates it can only be won with two people. The Master and their Servant. For there to be a chance of survival, a sentiment must be reached. An agreement of mutual fate connecting the two spectrum

Logically, a big factor to consider is the attitude one must adopt when it comes to their partner: Teamwork. Cooperation. Even compromises is acceptable if for the sake of gaining a valuable ally. This is a fundamental fact so as to not blunder in their first step toward the inevitable endgame

How a Master act toward their Servant and what Servant they summon, can ultimately bring them a long way forward

In a manor in Fuyuki, where the mansion of the Tohsaka family lay, a loud crash can be heard

Rin Tohsaka is displeased she did not summon a Saber Servant, but instead a cocky looking man in red had crashed through her ceiling, sending debris hurling across the room.

"There was...a spider" He replied smoothly to her inquiry, brushing the bit of dust off his shoulder "A really big spider, you could say"

One side of her face twitched

In another place, far away from the boundary of Fuyuki's busy urban area, a woman clad in business suit arrived on foot. Her short red hair swayed in the wind as she surveyed the land.

"How do you feel about this war, Lancer?"

He materialized behind her, long spear resting on his shoulder. The spandex clad spearman sniff the air, not dissimilar to how a hound would detect the smell of blood

A smirk soon broke out between that roguish face

"I'd say it's gonna be pretty interesting"

On the edge of the Einzbern castle's forest, a young girl with snow white hair is taking a walk with her guardian. The snow scatter with her small footstep

He slowed down to match her pace and accept her raised hand. The giant's palm was gentle. A warmth of paternity that cause her smile to widen.

"Haha, I'm so glad we're about to meet Onii-chan soon. The things you and I can do with him..."

Crimson eyes gaze with innoceous joy at the sky, dark possibilities coming to form behind that adolescent face

The rain came suddenly, withou warning. It coat Fuyuki city in a blanket of sheening humidity as a cacophany of droplets hitting the street echoed in her ear

The weakened Servant crawled along the alleyway until she came to rest at a streetpole

This is it. She realized, pursing her lips. The first Servant to be eliminated in this war. As her limb's shaking weakened and her vision turned to dark, the sound of footstep could be heard

Splashes of water hit her face. A pair of shoe stopped in front of her. Strangely, the rain pouring on her seem to had stopped, as though shielded by an umbrella

"Who are you?"

The wounded Caster look up at the man before her with surprise

Sakura lift up a box and place it on the table. Looking inside, several sharp implements could be seen glinting under the bulb's light. She counted them all, one by one

"This is all the knives I could buy with my money" Satisfied, the girl set them on the table

A shadow loomed over her to look at the knives. The masked man tilt his head in confusion. He picked up one of the tool, watching as its sharp edge glint when flipped over.
