Saber x Angelica fanfic chapter 1:
Summoning a Heroic Spirit as a Servant.
A task so impossible, not even Darius had managed it in his hundreds of years of life.
Perhaps if the Ainsworth had been better connected, more known among the mages of the world or simply colluding with the Clock Tower, there could've been a way to do it.
All they were known for was their specialization in Flash Air; the magecraft of displacement.
Laughed at by the uneducated masses.
They had tried cooperation once. A letter sent to the Musik family, begging for help in construction of a homunculus vessel. A vessel that could house the Holy Grail and relieve the young Sakatsuki girl of her burden.
The Musik family's response was to send 3 homonculi to the Ainsworth workshop, each carrying a different curse.
Nothing serious of course, war between mage families was not looked upon fondly during these dire times.
For Darius however, it had been the last straw.
From them on, his mind was set. He could only achieve his goals on his own. Goals for which he would sacrifice even his last descendants.
To perform such a miracle now was like laughing at his efforts.
She would do best to keep it secret.
Or so she thought.
The magic relic inside her stirred when that ghostly presence manifested into a body, woven entirely from mana.
A class card.
Darius' greatest achievement.
With it, she could use the powers of the greatest Heroic Spirit, the King of Heroes.
However with as much power as this card granted, it asked an ever greater price.
A Heroic Spirit so proud of itself it would sooner corrupt whoever used it than fall in line and do it's duty.
Solely for this card, she had crippled herself.
To be human is to show the aspects of a person.
What makes a person?
Love.
Anger.
Trust.
Sadness.
Fear.
Joy.
The heart of a person had to be filled with them.
Emotions, good and bad.
But for her, they were a distant dream.
To not be corrupted she had to rid herself of all that Heroic Spirit could target.
A husk of her former self.
Now just a doll to be used and discarded.
But the card allowed her to hide it.
Filling that hole with a new personality allowed her to act like a person.
To feel human.
And now this very link to her humanity was raging inside her.
The Servant in front of her was no ordinary hero, that much was certain.
Golden blonde hair.
Emerald green eyes.
Porcellain white skin.
An innocent beauty you might find in a fairy tale.
But she was undeniably real.
[Expand Post] "I ask of you, are you my Master?"
The spirit's voice was clear like water yet sharp like steel.
Charisma seeping from every word she spoke.
Her answer had to be firm, yet approachable.
Keeping a Servant secret would no doubt be a team effort.
"Angelica Ainsworth, magus of the Ainsworth lineage and contender in the Holy Grail War to save the world. I appreciate you answering my summon."
The beauty nodded.
"My name is Pendragon, wielder of the holy sword Excalibur. My class is Saber, as it is the only one i can be called forth as."
"The king of knights?"
