Samiramis Fate (906 words)

Inside the basement of a church stood a spiky white-haired teen with dark brown skin and priest attire, a golden cross hangs around his neck and two silver earrings gleam in the torchlight.

His name is Shirou Kotomine, a name he took after surviving the third holy grail war where he participated as the ruler class servant Amakusa Shirou Tokisadaa a good sixty years ago.

From that time, he started planning a way to achieve his goal of salvation for humankind which involved the greater grail used in this great holy grail war and is currently in the possession of the enemy black faction maned by the Yggdmillennia family.

Looking at the magic circle carved into the ground with his golden eyes which he made in preparation for the summoning of his servant to participate in the long awaited and planed great holy grail war, Shirou couldn't help but be a tad bit nervous.

Placed inside the circle are four pieces of a long past time which all point at a single person which he wished to summon and is a crucial part in his plan to win the war and seize the grail.

A short glance at the three command seals on the back of his right hand he begins the chant to summon a servant and watches how mana starts to gather into the circle before bursting into a bright light and creating a shockwave that threw up some dust.

"I have no idea what or how you fu*ked up but you sure as hell did do so royally my master." Came the voice of a woman from the dust which soon dispersed and revealed a black-haired woman with long pointed ears that would remind one of an elf.

Her black dress with golden accents assured one of her royal origins that was only solidified more by the confident way she held herself, even though her choice of words were slightly off.

"I don't know what you could mean, the ritual has been performed like it should have, what seems to be the problem." Though a bit surprised and nervous at the possibility of an error in his plans Shirou managed to mostly keep his calm and became curious as to what this "fu*k up" that his servant mentioned could be.

Giving the over sixty-year-old teen a glare for questioning her the woman clicks her tongue before explaining herself.

"You somehow managed to summon a servant into a soul of otherworldly origin and imbued it with said servant's memories, skills and powers. Additionally, that other worldly soul possesses a great deal of knowledge about a possible future of this world and maybe even more… Shirou Kotomine, or should I call you Amakusa Shirou Tokisadaa, ruler of the third holy grail war." The more the woman talked the harder it was for Shirou to keep his calm as the things she said sounded quite ridicules, but then she spoke his name out loud, which she shouldn't know as even with the dream cycle that comes with being in a master servant contract it would take time for her to gain access to his memories.

"That's quite the information to swallow, but before that I would be thankful if you could introduce yourse-" Shirou tried to regain some solid ground but was once again thrown off when his servant interrupted him.

"I don't think that's needed after all you poses all the skills to confirm my identity yourself." She was right and it confirmed once again that she indeed knew more than she should which made her previous claim a bit more believable.

Taking her statement as a sign Shirou used said skills to confirm the identity and abilities of his summoned servant.
