Fate's Wild Card

Zero: Grand Caster

Risei Kotomine thought of himself as a calm and rational man. He was the type to not let his emotions have control over his actions.

He's a man of faith, after all.

He believed that all of his actions were part of God's plan. That they were trials set by the Lord to test the faith of his children. He firmly believed that no matter what happens, God will always be by his side.

"What were you thinking Father!? Letting an unknown magus into the Holy Grail War!" The irritated voice of Tokiomi Tohsaka rings out of the phonograph in his room.

"As you have already seen through your familiar, Tokiomi-san, he was accompanied by the White Princess. I'm afraid my hands were tied." Risei calmly responds.

"And you thought allowing him to enter was the only option!? This wild card could ruin everything we worked towards!" Tokiomi shouts.

"Yes, I know." Risei said. A mysterious young man, barely older than six, has not only managed to get through his trained senses undetected, but managed to defeat his son with seemingly minimal effort. Kirei was a prodigy in the martial arts, the youngest to become an Executor of the Holy Church. For someone to actually get the better of him is something he never thought possible.

"He was able to defeat Caster, an existence above humans, the fact that he had its Master's Command Seals shows that he is not a force to be trifled with." I warned him. Even if he didn't defeat the Servant, the fact that the True Ancestor would ally herself with him is already something to be wary off.

Tokiomi sighs. "So, how shall we work around this?"

Risei ponders for a moment. "If this young boy, this 'Moon Knight' as he calls himself, has summoned an additional Servant then it's possible for any Servant to get an extra wish due their sudden appearance."

The old priest could practically see his ally smiling on the other end. "And it will motivate all participants to fight harder than before while we merely watch as they all destroy themselves. Well done, my friend."

Risei didn't care for the Magus' praise. All that matters to him is the completion of this sacred ritual.

Meanwhile, just by the entrance of Tokiomi's study, a figure listens to the conversation.

"That mongrel... he dares to say such things in my garden." Gilgamesh growls. "He wants to destroy one of my treasures!? He has a lot of nerve."

But while one half was angry at this insult, the other half was curious. This knight is someone who has the sponsorship of a True Ancestor, one of the few Elementals that still roam the world. That is not an easy task for any mongrel to do and yet he did.

The king would call it impressive but that thought is quickly snuff out.

"So, when will you send the message?" He heard the condescending voice of Tokiomi through the door.

Gilgamesh scoffs. "Try whatever plan you can think of, Tokiomi, it won't change your fate." He turns around and walks away. "Still, I am interested in this mongrel. He may be the source of entertainment I've been looking for." Like that, he turns into cold dust and vanishes.

Kirei's Room

Kirei Kotomine sits in the dark, with only the moonlight illuminating the room.
