Fate/Rider: The Forgotten One

Chapter 10: Past Memory

As both EMIYA and Shirou are walking back to the Emiya Resident, the awkward silent is getting to Shirou as he look towards his father who is now a servant.

Shirou: Uh... hey.

EMIYA: What?

Shirou: Are you really my father? Kirisugu Emiya?

EMIYA: Yes I am.

Shirou: Then why didn't you-

EMIYA: Don't ask questions, save it for later. By now you already know that N isn't a servant but my master. I won't be going around telling info to you unless we both see it as necessary or important. Remember currently we aren't ally.

Shirou: Right...

Shirou can only look down an accept this since there isn't anything he could do.

A few minutes ago back in the temple.

EMIYA: So what's the plans N?

N: We will follow them to see if there anything important we can gain from this.

Then Assassin show up and begin to fight with Artoria.

N: They split up, you will follow your son and I will follow Artoria. Intervene if you see it's necessary.

EMIYA: Got it.

They split up following their target, N watch as Artoria was kill by Assassin before running away.

N: Well that was unexpected.

Walking towards the place where she had fallen.

Attack Ride: Over Soul

Artoria then appear again now lying on the ground.

Artoria: W-What?

Looking up she see N

N: Yo did you have a good sleep?

Artoria: Why are you here!?

N: Don't be like that, I just brought you back from the dead that's all.

Artoria: What? You can revive people?

N: Not really more like bring their soul back before it's too late. Over Soul effect let me bring a being soul back after they pass away. You are a heroic spirit so there won't be a need for a vessel but...

Artoria: But why?

N: The target that it brings back will have all of there magic or ability seal away.

Artoria: So you are saying... THAT I'M USELESS NOW!?

N: Heh?

Artoria: THEN JUST KILL ME ALREADY! DO YOU WANT TO SEE ME SUFFER? IS THIS WHAT THIS IS!? I BECAME EVEN MORE PATHETIC THEN A ORDINARY HUMAN NOW! ARE YOU HAPPY!?

N: Not the expression I was hoping for.

Artoria began to cry, she can't do anything about what's happening to her, she is a heroic spirit that need mana to survive but she can't use her magic anymore. N then knee down to her, as she look up at him. Her eyes once fill with disgust and hate towards him now is just sadness and pain.

N: I have an offer for you, Artoria.

Placing one hand to the ground as a flower began to grow out under the wooden floor then it turn to a butterfly then a bird before turning to dust and disappear.

N: As you can see my origin is Creation And Destruction. I have the ability to create life and the ability to take it away. Magic circles are apart of life itself and I can give it to you. I can give you power.
