Magi: The Holy Grail War (AU) : Discontinued

Counter Chapter 2: The White Dove

Raised in a winter wonderland, Germany, snow was all she knew. From the land, sky, and sea, the mountains and heavens. For pure white snow was all she knew. Raised as a mage, born from a human mother and homunclus father, she knew the hardships that came, and the short life span she had. After all, she stopped ageing at 16. Though she is an Einzbern , she learned more of the world as she became the head of her clan, when her grandfather passed away. She then access to everything.

The secrets her clan hid, knowledge of magic, all. But what caught her attention in particular, were the records of what is called, the Holy Grail war. Her ancestors were the founders of the Grail War. She began to read the records of such war and all caught her interest. But she frowned, reading them. Though her family were the founders of the Holy Grail War, they have lost several battles. But another record caught her attention. This one was written by a survivor.

Illya von Einzbern

Her ancestor.

As she read through it, a smile graced her lips. Illya was happy during her life time. Though she survived Heavens Feel, becoming the next vessel of the Grail, all to stop a girl from Matou that was used as a vessel for the corrupted version of the Grail, Illya survived. Along with her half brother, Shirou Emiya, and Rin Tohsaka. And the servants that survived the war, Arturia Pendragon and Medusa. The two servants that survived, lived through the years, slowly becoming human and living their lives in peace.

Oh wise king, what do you command? I offer my strength in the power of a vessel. I thy ask is to seek a vessel. A vessel who can withstand my power. A soul pure as the clearest water drop on earth, yet had the wings of a dove who shall take its first flight. Oh wise king of Urk, seek me a vessel and I shall grant thy my strength. But thy can not fall in love with thy vessel. If such thing happens, my curse shall fall Upon you. The curse of separation.

His crimson eyes looked down at his kingdom from his throne. A vessel he must find for this...."Fragment of Life". It offered to lend him it's strength. It offered to prevent the death of his people and kingdom. Did such a power even exist. Though he is half God, he still doubts that power that offered a hand to him.

"Oh, Crista!! Be careful!!"

He turns and sees one of his head maids scolding....who??
"Forgive me!! I was in a rush to go buy herbs! We ran out!" A young woman with skin white, almost like porcelain, ruby red eyes, silver hair that looked like silk in the sunlight, and wore a maid dress, but a white flower bracelet on her right wrist.
"Out of herbs again?! Ooohhh!!! Sira with her magic experiments again! I'll give that girl a peace of my mind later! Just go buy the herbs dear..." the head maid sighs and the girl left to the town market to buy the needed herbs...again.
The king of Urk eyes narrowed as he watched the girl leave. Who was she? She isn't one of the citizens. As king, it is his duty to know his people. He has memorized every single citizens name, to their birthday, to who had a child, and so on. He was known as a wise king.

"Oh, Crista My lord?? She is a traveller. She is staying with me for a month before she leaves to continue he travels. She's such a sweet girl."

"A traveler....." the king mumbled as he swirled the wine in his cup, looking out to the he is of his kingdom.
"Gilgamesh, someone caught your interest??" His friend, Enkidu smiled.
Enkidu had the appearance of a woman, but can also be confused for a man. However, he is a being created out of clay and has no gender. But is referred as he sometimes. The King snorted.
"No. But I worry for this so call Fragment. She to offer me the power to stop the destruction of my kingdom in the future, in exchange, I find her a vessel to reside in. But....." he stayed silent at the last part.
The vessel will most likely be a mongrel. Like he will ever fall for one. He chuckled and saw from the streets, the woman now known as Crista, walking with a basket of herbs and towards the kitchen area.
