Fate/Zero - The Grand Caster And The Forgotten King

8 - The forgotten King

Ectris looked at Solomon in surprise. "I- are you sure?"

"Yes, besides this is the reason why you summoned me." Solomon answered as he walked up to his master.

"Yes, that's right." Ectris said whilst wrapping his arms tightly around himself and looked down in shame.

Solomon reached forwards and lifted Ectris's chin so that he can look into his eyes. "Ever since the moment you summoned me I felt a connection to you, like I knew you before. But no matter how hard I try I can't find those memories. I thought that something had just not been right with my summoning because lots of my memories felt strange, like they were missing something or weren't true. Now I understand why, because those memories were of you. I feel that if I lift your curse I will finally be complete, and I will finally know what my wish is."

Ectris's eyes widen in shock before his whole body sags a little as he relents. "As you wish."

Ectris takes a step back from Solomon and returns to his true form. (The image above).

Solomon looked up at him in shock, as Ectris's body is now double the height of his own and he's, so beautiful. He is captivated by the lower part of Ectris's hair that looks like it has stars in it and his right arm which looks like it's made of the universe itself. "So beautiful."

A bright blush covers Ectris's cheeks and he looks to the side shyly, whilst scratching his left ear.

Ectris sat on the floor with his back facing the bed in front of Solomon, who is sat on the bed so that he can reach better. He pulled his long hair over his right shoulder so that Solomon has better access to his back and combs his fingers through it to calm himself.

Ectris jumped a little when Solomon placed his hands on his back but relaxed at the familiar warmth, with a light blush coating his cheeks and ears.

Solomon couldn't help but look in wonder at the right side of Ectris's back which feels exactly like the left side despite its different appearance. He then closed his eyes and focused his magic and senses into Ectris's body to find the curse.

When Solomon finally found it he carefully undid it. As he was undoing the curse he felt memories surge into his mind, he let them flow in whilst keeping his focus on breaking the curse.

After an hour or two the curse was finally removed completely.

Solomon stared at Ectris's back with tears rolling down his face. "אהובי" He whispered before sagging onto Ectris's back sobbing. He wrapped his arms around Ectris tightly.

"Anāku Kakkabu" Ectris whispered back as tears rolled down his face. He turned around so that he is holding Solomon to his chest and wrapped his arms around him. He buried his face into Solomon's hair as he also cried.

The two held each other tightly for a couple of minutes before Enkidu jumped into the room from the window and tackled Ectris. "Ect, I'm so sorry I forgot you!" He yelled as he sobbed into Ectris's shoulder.

A moment after Gilguard charged into the room and pulled Enkidu away. "You idiot can't you see they were having a moment, wait until morning."

"But Ectris... why?" Enkidu complained as he was being pulled away by the lion with tears rolling down his eyes like waterfalls.

"Solomon is his husband it's only fair that he gets to be first. And privacy." Gilguard explained as he pulled Enkidu back out the window, making Ectris and Solomon sweatdrop as they watched the two leave.

"WAIT WHAT?! HUSBAND?!" The two could hear Enkidu's yell in the distance.

Ectris chuckled before snuggling his face into Solomon's nek. "I missed you so much, Anāku Khoba." He mumbled.

Solomon smiled down at him whilst stroking his soft hair. "I'm here now, I'll never part from your side ever again. I promise."
