Fate/Lost Moonlight

Master Intro: Radius Aleksei Ikarov

In a dimly lit room, Radius Aleksei Ikarov carefully prepared the summoning circle. The air was thick with anticipation as he carefully placed the random catalyst he had found during his travels at the center of the intricate design. This would be his entry into the Holy Grail War, a conflict that would test his beliefs and ideals to their very core.

"I call upon thee from the outer realms, O powerful spirit," Radius chanted, his voice resolute. "Heed my call and become my sword in the Holy Grail War. Together, we shall embrace the conflict that defines existence!"

As the words left his lips, the circle began to glow with an otherworldly light. The catalyst pulsed with energy, and a figure emerged from the swirling darkness. The Servant was imposing, clad in futuristic baroque armor adorned with intricate markings, his eyes burning with an unfathomable determination.

"Tell me, are you the man who would be so bold as to call himself my Master?" The figure asked.

"I am" Radius responded.

The towering, black clad warrior smiled at that. "Good. Very good. Do not presume to command me, and I am sure we will be able to cooperate well enough, especially seeing as how you too are a fellow warrior. Only someone like you would ever be worthy of my presence. Now then, allow me to introduce myself formally: I am The Warmaster, Horus Lupercal, Foreigner Class Servant, summoned to serve you in the Holy Grail War," the figure declared, his voice strong and commanding.

"Tell me, Master, what is your desire?"

Radius smiled, intrigued by this newfound companion. He could sense the conflict within the Servant, a struggle between loyalty and betrayal, order and chaos. It was a fascinating contradiction, one that appealed to Radius's own appreciation of the complexities of conflict.

"I seek to understand the true nature of conflict, to explore its depths and uncover its secrets," Radius replied, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Will you join me in this quest, Horus Lupercal? Can you help me find my 'Opposite'?"

The Foreigner regarded his new Master with a mixture of curiosity and respect. "I am no stranger to the concept of conflict, Master," Horus admitted, his gaze unwavering. "I, too, have sought to understand its intricacies, to harness its power for both creation and destruction. If it is your wish to explore the depths of conflict, then I shall stand by your side. So long as you do not get in the way of my wish."

"And that is?"

"To incarnate. And muster this world beneath my rule, that I may wage war on the stars themselves as the Emperor of Humanity!"

Radius extended his hand, a grin spreading across his face. "Yes, you'll do, you'll certainly do, Horus Lupercal," he declared, his voice filled with determination. "Together, we shall shake the foundations of the Holy Grail War and beyond!"

***

As Radius and Horus Lupercal settled into their temporary hideout, they found themselves engaged in an intense discussion about the nature of conflict, the concept of servitude, and the complexities of morality. Horus, a warrior who had once championed loyalty and order, was now a being of chaos, driven by betrayal and the pursuit of power.

"I find it fascinating how the universe thrives on conflict," Radius began, his eyes gleaming with enthusiasm. "One cannot exist without the other, order and chaos working in tandem to shape existence."

Horus nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed, Master. But at the same time, I have witnessed firsthand the destructive power of unchecked conflict. When loyalty is broken and chaos runs rampant, the consequences can be devastating."

Radius considered Horus's words, intrigued by the depth of his perspective. "Yet, without conflict, there can be no growth, no progress. I believe that it is our duty to embrace the conflict within us and use it to better ourselves."
