Fate: Unrecognized Hero

Travels

(A/N: Well... I have to say I truly am thankful to you readers. I know I say this a lot and I probably will continue to say it a lot so it might get repetitive and it might start to sound like I don't mean it, but I really and genuinely mean it when I say I am genuinely thankful and happy for all the support this is getting. I never imagined people would like something I made so it really brings a smile to my face to see so many enjoying it, so, thanks. Now with the emotional stuff out of the way it's time to get back to the normal stuff. I don't own any images seen and all rights go to the owners nor do I own anything related to the Fate franchise.)

(Ritsuka POV)
After Gilgamesh's attempt at obtaining the axe the feast went on as I expected what one would be like. There was talking going on amongst everyone and then Spartacus got a little wild and ran outside to who knows where due to something he was drinking. Despite the large amount of food that was on the table I was shocked to see it cleared at the end of it all. Now I lay in a bed awake terrified and unable to sleep.

Ritsuka: I sat up in my head which was really comfortable but I couldn't help but feel a sense of complete dread. I looked to the other half of the room and I saw Gudaku tossing and turning before she also sat up. "Can't sleep either?"

Gudaku: "No. I can't help but feel terrified for some reason."

Ritsuka: "Yeah, me too. What is it that is making us so fearful?"

Just then the door to the room we were in opened to reveal Artoria.

Artoria: "Master are you and Gudaku alright. I have noticed that you have been awake for two hours now. You two should rest for tomorrow."

Ritsuka: "We know we just can't."

Artoria: "Why is that?"

Gudaku: "There's this feeling of dread around and it is stopping us from sleeping."

Ritsuka: "Yeah, I can't help but feel being here is dangerous."

Artoria: "Sense of dread? Oh! I know what you're talking about."

Gudaku: "You do?! What is it?!"

Artoria: "That's just Grimm."

Ritsuka and Gudaku: "What?!"

Artoria: "I had completely forgotten about this."

Ritsuka: "What are you talking about Artoria? What is it that is happening?"

Artoria; "How to put it? Well I'll just say it's an effect that Grimm has on people around him."

We both silently sat and stared at Artoria waiting for further explanation as to why this is happening.

Artoria: "In a sense it's his presence making you feel this. Him being who he is and doing what he does makes his presence a signal flare for anyone and making them be on high alert. I hardly remember that feeling now."

Gudaku: "What do you mean 'hardly remembered that feeling'? You've experienced this before?"

Artoria: "A number of times."

Ritsuka: "Are you saying it no longer affects you? How?"

Artoria: "I guess I learned that it meant nothing towards me."

Gudaku: "That makes no sense."

Ritsuka: "Agreed, I don't understand."

Artoria: "I guess the best way to put it is by saying I realized that Grimm wouldn't do anything harmful to me. Even the other knights of the round no longer notice it."

Ritsuka: "I see? How is it that you even know it it Grimm specifically that is causing this?"

Artoria: "Thinking about it does bring back memories. It was long after Grimm accepted my deal that this happened. The kingdom of Camelot had entered into a war. It was the first day of the war when I made my way to the frontlines and noticed that Grimm was already fighting. To spare you some details it was during the night in the camp that was set up when everyone in our army stared to also feel what you two are feeling now."
