Chapter Text
For the elements, silver and iron
For the foundation, stone and the Archduce of Contracts
For the ancestor, my great master, Schweinorg
Close the gates to the cardinal directions
Come forth from the Crown, and follow the forked road leading to the Kingdom
Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill
Repeat five times
But when each is filled, destroy it
Set
Heed my words
My will creates your body, and your sword creates my destiny
If you heed the Grail's call and obey my will and reason, then answer me
I hereby swear...
That I shall be all the good in the world
You seven heavens, clad in the three great words of power,
come forth from the circle of binding
Guardian of the Scales!
"Yosh! It's done" you admired yourself for performing a perfect summoning. You couldn't be sure of your results, not yet, since the smoke hadn't gone away. You waited for a few minutes and when the view in front of you was clear, an 'o' formed on your face.
Before you, was standing a blonde male, dressed in a golden armor. His hair was up and his hands crossed. He had an intimidating sassy look which made your astonished expression fade away.
"Are you my servant?" you asked him and a smirk appeared on his face.
"A king like myself, a servant?Don't make me laugh you mongrel" he stated entertained at your words.
"yeah, I am funny like that" you replied in a sarcastic way.
He smirked once again.
"I decided that I like you, mongrel"
A vein popped on your forehead but you decided to let it go this time.
"Whatever" you said leaving the room.
~Time Skip~
"So, which Heroic Spirit are you?" you asked sipping your coffee.
"I am not obliged to tell you" he stated as he was laying on the sofa with a glass of wine in his hand and you felt anger building up in you. "... But I shall make an exception for you" he continued. "I am the King of Heroes" .
You were about to explode. "What's that supposed to mean?"
He clicked his tongue "Maybe I overestimated you. I am Gilgamesh, the great half-god, half-human king. Ruler of Uruk, the capital city of ancient Mesopotamia" he announced full of confidence and pride.
"Never heard of you" you said uninterested.
His eyes widened in shock which you realised as he sat up. You were satisfied with his reaction since you thought it would hurt his pride but all the more he smirked.
"You are a mongrel after all"
You wanted to use a Command Seal and order him to commit suicide but unfortunately for you, you needed your servant in order to win the Holy Grail War. You clicked your tongue and rose from your seat without saying a word. You headed to the kitchen to refill your cup. Suddenly, next to you appeared Gilgamesh, leaning against the counter in his usual crossed hand pose.
"Are you ignoring me mongrel?" he asked kind of pissed at your behavior.
"I am not going to take you seriously if you keep calling me like that. My name is [Y/n], not mongrel" you replied to his question trying to keep your cool.
You walked towards the living room without noticing that Gilgamesh had disappeared. He appeared out of the blue in front of you causing you to bump on his armored chest, almost spilling your coffee.
"What the-" you went to say but you stopped at the sight of his expression. His usual smirk on his face as well as lust in his eyes.
"So [Y/n], what do you need the Grail for?" his tone was that of interrogation.
You were taken aback at his question and it took you a while to answer.
"Eh?" you paused "Well I don't have a specific wish" you finally said scratching the back of your head.
Gilgamesh's reaction was priceless. He lifted his eyebrow making a face that you didn't think was possible, not for him at least. Then he let out a laugh. "You are interesting after all... But I am not lending my power to someone like you" he announced.
"What? Why?" you asked confused.
"I need to be aware of your motives, otherwise I won't form an alliance with you"
"Wha- eh? Alliance? What are you talking about? You are my servant, your duty is to follow your master's orders" you scolded him irritated at his rebellion.
"That's true, but only when it comes to Command Seals . If you want me to obey you use one" he provoked you whispering in your ear the last part.
His voice echoing through your ear made your blood rushing in greater speed. You were about to do it though. You had been thinking about it for a while but...
"Ugh!!! Why did I have to summon you? Forget it. I don't need you and your stupid powers, I will win the Grail by myself" you raised your voice extremely annoyed and just like that, you stormed outside the house.
Gilgamesh simply smirked at your reaction and went back to laying and drinking his favourite wine.
"Interesting indeed"
Meanwhile...
You were wandering around town muttering curses under your breath.
"Why did I have to end up with a retarded servant like him? Damn him" you clenched your fists.
Suddenly, you snapped out of your little monologue as you noticed a weird aura in the atmosphere.
"What's this?" you thought looking around.
The background had changed into a vast green land with a forest nearby. You brought your hand to your forehead trying to communicate with Gilgamesh:
[Can you hear me Gilgamesh?] but no response came.
"A magic field huh?Dammit" you muttered. "I could use a Command Seal but..." you thought about your last words to him but you were too proud to summon him. "What should I do?" you tried really hard to find a solution until it hit you.
But at that moment you heard a voice which you didn't recognise "My my, who do we have here?" a woman [probably] showed up.
Her face was hidden by the hood she was wearing but what led you into that conclusion was her voice which sounded like a female's.
"Who are you?" you asked aggressively.
"There's no need for you to know my identity"
"You aren't going to tell me huh?" you said smiling and after bringing out your hand that had imprinted the Command Seals, you begun to recite something like a prayer.
The servant that probably belonged to the Caster class realized what you were about to do and she immediately prepared an attack. Right before she threw it at you, a light combined with an explosion and smoke appeared before you. You closed your eyes waiting for the attack to hit you but it never did. You heard a sound and you were sure it landed on something, but what? Then you slowly opened your eyes and you saw a man standing in front of you.
His shoulders were wide and broad. He was dressed in black and red and his hair was up.
You looked around and noticed that Caster, as well as the field was nowhere to be seen.
"Who are you?" you desired to learn the man's identity.
"I am your Servant, Archer class. Although I can't say I am really pleased with my master" he informed you as he brought his hand on his hip turning around to face you.
"It worked?" you thought out loud completely ignoring his comment.
He raised his eyebrow weirded out by your words.
"Wha-?" he stopped and his attention was shifted up, to the sky. Out of a sudden, a few swords were thrown with force at Archer.
"Archer!!!" you shouted worried for your new Servant...
To be continued...
