Prologue (1/2)

It's had ended.

The battle-No! the one-sidded massacre from Him, a highest-ranking servant toward a rather high-ranking group of magus (From the modern maguc scale) from the Faction Of Blue that had obtained his ire had ended with the tittle of the winner bestowed upon him.

Just like it will always be.

Crinsom colored liquid slowly flowed down from his blade, he steadily calmed down his beating heart, trying to ignore the phantom image of a screaming adult magus begging to be spared, one of the participating female master staring up to him with an unfocussed eyes as he combusting her heart with [Throthum : The Fang of Daemon], of a cooling corpse of a bunch of children soldiers being sended to him by his former teamate Noble Phantasm. 

The phantom Image of his Ruler, his jeanne, use her Noble Phantasm [La Pucelle: The Crimson Saint] , to save him from the tainted grail and it's cursed personafication who image it self as a female by keliminating the said personafication.

He opened his eyes, presenting his clear blue eyes toward the vast and dense forest infront of him, and slowly lowered his vision toward one of his Noble Phantasm which is stuck in one of the pineapple trees, with it hilt sticking out toward him. 

[Galvwarin : The Bone of Amon], one of the E-Ranked Noble Phantasm from his seemingly never ending arsenal of legend that created from his original Noble Phantasm, it doesn't have any special capabilities beside being very sharp to the point of able to cut through diamond with ease and nigh-indestructible , he just stand still on there staring toward one of his thousands B-Ranked Noble Phantasm before shaking his head and start to dismaterialise it, it doesn't matter how much he tried to deny it, he does felt a little sick when the memory of the mutilated corpse of his enemy come sufaced trough his mind, just thinking on how easy it is for his [Galvwarin] to cut through a line of magus who had enhanced their body with [Reinforcement] , making them lose their lower part of body in the process, making him feel inhuman. 

'Well... you are not a human anymore you know ?." his sapient Noble Phatasm 'helpfully' added it's two cent.

Ah.... That's right, he's not a human anymore right ?

Sometimes he forgot that he was in fact, was not a normal human anymore since he filled that cursed CYOA sheet, he had become something more, something that had surpassed the limit itself, he ahd become a Servant, A legendary figure.

A Hero

Hah!.

him ?, a hero ?, what a laughable nonsense, he is nothing but a disilsional man, a faker that wore the mantle of a true hero, he was nothing but a grown up man who have an extreme eight grader syndrome, a foolish man who dreamed up to be an inspiring figure or hero, an impostor.

A Fake

A sneer paint it self on his well-endowed faces, the splattered blood on his face only making him look more terrifying more than he should have, his sneer instantly changed into a grimace when he caught the sight of his face in one of the puddle along the dirt road that he walked upon.

 Jeanne won't like to see me to have this kind of face. 

Yeah. Jeane D'Arc, the saintess who the greater grail had choosen among the many ruler-class servant on the throne of heroes to be the administrator of this war, the saintess who had been trageted by the Blue faction because they don't want the female servant to find out their little 'secret', the female servant who had somehow able to befriend his original master, even to the point where his original master daring to betray his former faction, the same female servant who had became his master after his original master had transfered his command seal to her right before being struck down by Ivan The Terrible, the female servant who had somehow able to captured his heart, someone who had able to make him felt love and warmth for the first time since he was born.

Someone who he had failed.

Failed because of his weakness, because of his uselessness, because of his incompetence to do something so simple, because of his hesistation to cut down the Lancer Of Blue, and also someone who he will most likely would never gonna meet ever again unless some miracle occured.

Wait...

'Miracle'

What he needed is a miracle isn't it ?, how could he never thought about that !?, his [God Grace] Noble Phantasm could give him an EX-Ranked [Miracle] Skill.

'Master..."  Vhelda, his sapient Noble Phantasm sighed while giving him an annoyed glare after teleporting herself outside his Reality Marble by using her [A++] Ranked {Astral Projection} skill, with her tiny white-gloved hand settled on her huggable waist, having the upper part of her body bended toward him, giving him the ability to see  the twin small 'Mountain' while giving him the scariest glare the she could muster, which. To be honest, it's look more like a pout than a glare.

Rather than responding toward her glare with a response, he insted give his sentient Noble Phantasm the best flattest look that he could do, which to be honest, if ther are an olymmpic for the flattest look on the world, it would become the champion.

'You couldn't possibly thinking on using the wish-granting ability of the greater grail do you ?.' Vhelda asked with a small terrifying smile on her lips, making shiver to runs up and down on his spin,

her smile dropped when she noticed that he had purposedly avoiding to meer her imaginary eyes, a frown appeared on her imaginary faces, making her looks more like an angry mother who is scolding a little trouble makers kid for going to do something stupid.

'Master...., you are the one who know the most about the risk of what are you intended to do, it's a really risky gamble, i cannot allow you to take that risk..'

'Why Not ?' i asked a simple quetion inside mind, knowing that she could hear it since her original for is inside my Reality Marble, when i see that she doesnt answer my first question, i continues to press the matter foward. 'Jeane has already sacrificed herslef to kill the evil personafication of the greater grail, i think it's alright for us to take a little gambling to even it no ?' i asked mentally toward the astral projection of my dozen [EX] Ranked Noble Phantasm, [Armor Of Dragas : For Nothing Shall Scratch It].

My sapient armor-shaped Noble Phantasm didn't give a comment toward my second question, she only directed her astral head toward the dirt ground beneath them, and when she brought her ehad up again to meet his faces again, it felt like a sword had pierced his heart, making him felt an inimaginable amount of guilt.  'I already had lost big sister Jeanne, i  din't want to lose you as well.'  that word alone had almost make his canceled his plan on going to use the greater grail wish-granting ability.

Kuh!.

It's too much!.

But he know her secret !, he can turn the table once more!.

And so he took a small breath and said in a normal voice while looking at her eyes. 'Vhelda, that look won't work on me anymore.' he stated flatly toward his forever-present companion, making the female Noble Phantasm giving him a pout, before she huffed and turned her head toward the top of the mountain, while he starting to watch the wild life around them, who had started to gather because of Vhelda nature-attracting presence that are originated from her nature dragon blood.

'It's true though.' said the spirit that reside within his armor-shaped Noble Phantasm, making him turned his head toward his only companion, 'Immortal Companion', i thought when i remembered her immortality, the said companion had already continued to inspect the peak of the mountain, seemed to had finded something worth to watch on it.

He keeps watching his companion for a few minutes before giving her a reply outloud with a small smile placed on his face. "Don't worry, i won't leave you alone anymore, i was too stubborn to die anyway.". 

He didn't see it, but he can feel her smile and hear her giggle and her 'that one is a truth' response.

The formerly human-turned-heroic spirit and an ancient spirit of a billion years nature dragon that had been sealed inside an armor-based Noble phantasm continued their measely walk in silence and serene, enjoying their brief moment of peace that they knew wont last for long.
