Fate Apocrypha: The Second Ruler: Discontinued

Chapter 9: The First Step Towards Fate

- 200 years ago -

It's not like she wanted to reach true magic. It's not like she was greedy, but her lust to know more about the brought her to just that. It is said that those who have reach The Root, but without touching it, would receive what is true magic. Through the world, there are only 5 who have reached true magic.

The first one is currently unknown.
The second one was reached my a man who wielded the  Jeweled Sword Zelretch and is one of few living magicians to be alive in modern times, Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg.
The third one, most commonly known because of the. Einzbern family, Heaven's Feel.

The forth and 5th are the same results, their origin is unknown.

But what if there was a sixth? A sixth person who had reached the root and was blessed true magic? And that was where things began to slowly take form. A single woman, who was half fairy, but also half of true ancestors, and some human blood that ran through her veins, had reached the root. Her descendants eyes watched as those of Matou, Einzbern and Tohsaka created the ritual for what is soon to be known as The Holy Grail war. The spirits of Warrior's who had made a pact with the earth, to be summon and fight in this bloody war. The prize, a device said to grant a wish. She didn't like this idea. She can already see so many mistakes by just looking the so call Holy Grail. She stood before it, The one now known as the Greater Grail, with void eyes and turned to walk away, knowing full well that hell will only befall on those who seek it. Through different worlds, through different dimensions, the Grail will bring either despair or joy. As she walked down the empty hallway of a stone castle, she sighed as she suddenly came to sudden halt, debating if she should sabotage the Grail or not.

"You're not going to do it?"

Her head slowly turned towards a pillar of the stone room, and saw a man standing there, the shadows covered his face and she shook her head.
"What point would it be for me to sabotage it? My job such as yours and I is simply to over watch this ritual that is to be created." She said.
The man shook his head as she turned to look back at the process of the Grail. A sad smile come onto her lips and she placed a hand over her heart.
"A million years.....1,000 years...100 years....and time just continues. Though I am the one to have discovered the 6th True Magic, I am forever cursed by my past descendents battle during the age of fairies. It pains me that I not they can live a peaceful life like they deserve. Woa is me. Like Shakespeare has said in his narration of Romeo and Juliet
"Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow." She said sadly as a face of a certain man came into her mind as she closed her eyes.
The man shook his head and spoke.
"Areleti, I can help you break this curse." He said and she shook her head.
"Thank you Kischur, but that is something I can not accept. Yet you called me by my past name, I have not been called that name in such a long time. I have almost forgotten it. I wonder if Arturia or any of the Knights of the Round Table shall be summon to this bloody ritual?" She said and walked back over to the Greater Grail, touching it.
Feeling of the unknown between her finger tips brought back fond memories of the words she had been to.

"If I had just one wish for this so call wish granting device, then all I ask......"

"Mom Mom!" Her black hair blew in the air as she ran down the steps of her home.
Her mother was going on another business trip and this time to Japan.
"What is it Funuka?" Her mother said and sweat drops as her eldest daughter stopped a few feet away from her with eyes sparkling.
"You're going to Japan this time?! Can I go with you please?! I know you don't know Japanese so please let me go!!" Funuka pleaded to her mother.
The woman pinched the bridge of her nose and looked up at her.
"Have you finished your chores?" She asked and saw the girl nod rapidly.
"Are you on vacation?" She asked.
"Mom, remember I told you I finished finals a week ago? I'm basically on summer vacation already!" Funuka grinned.
Her mother sighs and gave her a small smile.
"Alright. Go pack your things. Your father won't be having a business trip till July and we are only spending a week in Japan. So hurry, you got two hours." Her mother said and Funuka bolted to her room to pack.
