June 14th, the sky above Shinto - 8:59 pm "Rider, put me down! Put me down or I'll use my Command Seal! Rider!" I scream in desperation as Rider's hand grabs my waist tighter. Not even I can fully discern my voice because of the wind blowing around us as we glide through the sky. Strange, I always thought it would be nice to soar the sky like a bird and watch the ground pass deep below me, but now that I'm actually doing it, I keep my eyes tightly shut and grip my Servant with all the strenght I can muster. "What did you say, Master? I can't hear you ~" He replied in a nonschalant tone. "Liar!, Put me down, now! Now!!!" "Oh, now I hear ya. But, are you sure? Isn't this kind of nice?" I can picture his smug smile even though my eyes only see the darkness of my eyelids now. He must be thinkng all of this is rather funny... "No, no, no! Down! Now!" "Haha, if you insist. Roc!" I can suddenly feel that we're slowing down. The wind around me slowly calms down as Rider's gigantic bird descends. After a few minutes, my feet feel the firm ground again, and Rider drops me down. As my balance is off, I waver a bit before collapsing onto my knees. Even though we're safe, I still keep my eyes closed. "Don- I'm never riding that damn bird of yours again, do you hear me..." I gasp. "Where are we anyways?" "Dunno. Some rooftop in th-" Suddenly, it's as if a giant weight drops down on my back. My eyes are wide open now, as I gaze in terror. What... what is this feeling? It goes away as soon as it appears. The weight disperses and a wave of relief washes over me. Still gasping, I get back on my shaky feet. "Rider... Did you feel that?" My voice is a whisper. I cannot even move... as if I had been running a marathon. Somehow though, I manage to turn around and look at Rider. He seems as distresed as I am. He's holding his left hand over his eye, while the other one is wide open. His chest is moving up and down the same as mine. So... it was something that managed to affect even a Servant... Is it a doing of another Servant? "Rider, snap out of it!" As I snap my fingers, he shifts his eyes towards me and breaths out. "Was it the doing of a Servant?" "I- it could be, but I'm not sure. If anything, it's a doing of a powerful magus." I nod as his response. I feel much calmer now as the effect of that sensation disperses. I can think straight now again. "We should retreat at once. If anyone were to attack us now, we'd be at a disadvantage." June 14th, Myama town, "Maria's borrowed house" - 9:18 Rider parks his motorbike outside the house I had claimed when we first arrived. It's a small, plain looking house with two stories, rather close to the Central Bridge, and we have been living there for the past week. "I've been thinking about what happened during our ride." Rider and I enter the house. The house opens up right into the living room which further extends into the kitchen, although both spaces can be dscribed as only one room. The living room is rather big as it takes most of the ground floor space. It contains a big blue sofa, along with a glass coffee table with two remotes on it along with my light blue purse. 'I should probably carry that thing around from now on.' Spontaneously, a mental note imprints itself into my brain. "It must have been a Servant or a Master that made that bound field, I am certain of it." "How come?" The two of us make our way to the sofa and we take seats. I furrow my eyebrows. Ugh, another migraine... It must be because of the bound field. "Well... who else has a motive to do something like that? Think about it, it's only logical. But they sure have gotten down to bussiness quickly. The war hasn't even begun yet." He nods and sighs. "I suppose you're right." He says as he gets up. "You're going somewhere." I ask while raising an eyebrow. My sight is set on the black socks on my knees. Somehow, that soothens my headache. "Yep. To grab something from the fridge." "Oh. Then bring me a pack of ice." The echoing sound of his steps comes to a halt all of a sudden. "Another migraine..." He asks in a worried tone. But it's true, my headaches have been growing ever more usual and stronger as of lately. I'd rather not think about it or discuss it though, so I yell at him to hurry up. "Anyways, it's none of your concerns." A sigh makes its way to my ear before Rider resumes his action. When he comes back, he's holding two sandwiches in his right hand and a pack of ice in his left. "Hmpf. Don't think I'll thank you." As I get up and pull the ice out of his grip, he sighs once again, but I don't leave him enough time to respond. "Who knows, maybe it's you always being in your physical form that's been giving me headaches!" He says somehting in his defense but I ignore it and make my way to the stairs. "Oi, where are you going?" "To sleep, of course. If other Masters have already began preparations, then we haven't got any time to waste. We start tomorrow morning. Good night."

That shall be his doom >:3 And fine. I just found his reaction maybe a bit unexpected. Whatever, Vincent did tell him to stay out of trouble, so I guess its understandable that he would retreat.

I'll finish the battle later. I have to go study now :/

'So, if we defeat the little one, the others will retreat too? Okay... I guess I have to...' Shiro thought to himself as he reached out into his pocket to grab his Pokedex. He pointed it at the feisty Druddigon, revealing his moves and weaknesses. 'Uhm... Hone Claws... Bulldoze... Dragon Rage... Slash... Roar and Payback... Brave nature... This one is strong.' "Shun, are you ready?" He said after a gulp. Shun nodded in response and took her place between Shiro and the Druddigon. Her horn instantly flashed red, reflecting her current emotions. She was more than ready to battle. But even though the Druddigon was still a youngling, it was already at least three times her height, and its muscles were staggering. Still... as long as they could avoid getting hit, they had a chance of winning. Shiro took one last look at the Druddigon before speaking. It was still rowing the dirt with its grand claws, those big, scary claws... "I... I accept your challange." He muttered, pointing his finger at the dragon. As soon as he did so, the whole herd let out a loud roar, but only for a brief moment, signaling the support they had for the small one. The roar caught Shiro off guard, and he took a few steps back in sudden shock. The battle has begun. The Druddigon wasted no time. As soon as Shiro backed off, it thrusted itself forward, trying to Slash Shun directly. "U- uh... Shun! Avoid its attack and... uhm..." 'What should I tell her to do!?' However, Shun had a plan of her own. Even if her trainer wasn't sure what she should do, she was the one actually doing the fight and, as such, she had the best ideas on how to exploit the enemies weak spots. This Druddigon charged her head on, and that was something it should never have done, as it left itself wide open. The attack was easy to avoid and was ready to retaliate. A yellow spark flashed when she snapped her fingers, paralyzing the dragon. It let out a screech as it collapsed on the ground, its muscles still twitching from the shock. One or two older Druddigon reacted to that, frowning and rowling. One even began prowling at the ground like the small one. 'Are they...' However, the other dragons were stopped by the little one's cry. It has recovered from the paralysis, and was facing them now. It's hard rock face revealed its anger. It didn't want them to interfere so they backed off, but not before quareling for a bit between themselves. Some of them apparently still wante to interfere, despite the young one's stubborness. When it turned back to Shiro and Shun, it let out another cry. Suddenly, its claws sparked white, doubling in lenght instantaneously. 'Hone Claws?' "Shun, be careful!"

I see the problem has been solved ~ I was reading it on my way back home, lol. I have no issues with walls of text, but your post was kind of hard to read because it all felt so stuffed. Huh, I didn't expect hysteria to influence Asassin so much. I wonder if Whitey and Arjuna felt anything, since they're in Shinto. And I see he doesn't know about Maria yet, huehuehue I'm gonna update Maria finally ~ yay ~

Haha, I guess you're right ~ Maria's spells are in Latin, but don't expect gramatically correct sentences, lol I'm using Google Translate. But yeah, I already have 3 verses ready for one of Maria's stronger spells, and it actually sounds good when I try reading it ^^

"Uhm... professor?" Shiro was cornered by a group of Druddigon of all shapes and sizes. They were led by that smal one he had been petting a while ago. It appeared to be acting agressive now, all of a sudden, and Shiro got genuinely scared of the little thing. He has experienced the power of a Dragon just a few days ago. "W- what should I do? What do they want?"

"Siegfried, is that you I'm speaking with?" A feminine voice spoke through the phone. The voice was high pitched, yet calm and serious, even though its owner was already in her forties. A slight note of arrogance could be heard as she spoke up again, after waiting a few moments to confirm who she was talking to. "Good." The woman cleared her throat before moving on. "I need to discuss the nature of our small alliance along with our future plans with all of you, so please put me on speaker. ... You have? Good. Can everyone hear me? Okay, we wil begin now. Oh, and the line is secure and the whole house you are currently in is protected from outside thaumaturgical influences, so it is 100% safe to talk over it. First and foremost, I have to thank you all for serving us in this war. It is of crucial importanc that we, the Mage's Association, are the one to emerge victorious from this war, so that we can confiscate and investigate the source of it all. As you may know, the Holy Grail has been confirmed destroyed at the end of the 5th Holy Grail War, by none other that yours truly, so whatever is causing this war must be of some different origin, if it's even possible for something other than the Grail to hold such power. But that is why we have to secure it, as it may prove to be an imminent threat to the world of magi. I'm assured you all wil cooperate accordingly as you have signed yourselves up. Any and all errors you make against us are going to be punished severly, understood? Good. Lets see what's next..." The voice dissapears for a while as the sound of pages turning can be heard on the other end of the line. "Right. I need to confirm the summoning of your Servants. Has everything gone well? If our calculations were correct, the Servants you have summoned are of Saber, Lancer and Assassin classes. Then, if you all have nothing better to do, you should all get to work. Your primary objective should be to confirm the identities of other Masters. For now, we only know about Maria Lockeheart, that girl that tried to kill you. *giggle* Oh, my apologies, I got carried away. Anyways, our theory is that she summoned a Servant of the Rider class, but we have no idea about his actual strenght. Though... Servants summoned under that class usually have lackluster parameters, so you shouldn't have too many problems against them. But be wary, she might not seem strong but she is not a pushover. Master of Assassin," The voice turns sharp all of a sudden. "have your Servant dispatch and track down enemy Masters. As I said, your primary objective is to identify them. If you find out anything, you are to write it down somewhere and report it to me in the next three days. Then we will be ready to initiate the next phase of our plan. We are eagerly expecting results. Goodbye now, and may the luck be at your side. And if you have any problems or issues... feel free to tell us or father Aaron as we are here to assist you. That should be all." The phone goes quiet after a click. The call has ended.

Her Servant was supposed to be Julius Cesar. That was the catalyst the MA had prepared for her. The others don't really know much about her new Rider, except maybe the fact that he rides on a giant bird, lol What they are supposed to know is her Wind affinity and her usage of paper in battle. Yup, paper. Like thousands of tiny notes she carries around in a bag.

Okay, I can easily just write it bit off part of Shiro's clothes or something ~

Is it 'kay if Shiro doesn't catch the Druddigon right away? The dragon would then come looking for Shiro the next day or something.

Activity ^^ Anyways, I'm in school now, but I'll try answering some questions ~ First off, yup, I'm serving as the supervisor. In my next update, I'll write somewhat of a monologue by her explaining what they should do. Rusty, you can go do whatever you want ~ If you wanna, I can link a picture of Fuyuki from the wiki page when I come home. That, coupled with sheep's explanation should give everyone a clear view of the city. And sheep's timeline is correct, yup ~

Haha, yupyup. Shun is a pesky little attention freak. She's supposed to be comedic, but I fail at comedy, so she probably isn't And it should give her space to develop some more over the course of the story ~

Welp, a short update, cuz I've been rather tired this whole day and cuz the MA guys didn't contact their supervisor, so their supervisor had to contact them. I'll go to sleep now, so there won't be any new updates until I wake up ~

June 14th - 9:07 - the phone left unattended in the black box begins to ring; it is that simple ringtone usually set as default on most phones, but it is loud enough to fill the whole house and alarm everyone in it

^ That is actually rather useful ~ well done

Shiro stood by the side when they arrived at the next stop. It was a rocky area with lots of caves around, al dug by these Druddigon that were all over the place. Suddenly, a group of Druddigon emerged from the forest behind him, scaring the trainer with their sudden appearance. A few of them scraped against his sweat shirt, muffling it up with their skin. He was just about to take a look at the scrape when he felt something tug against his leg. It was a small Druddigon, probably a baby. They reached his belt with their heads, being somewhat shorter than 1 m, but their arms were already pretty long and big. Their wings were undeveloped at that stage. Actually, they had no wings yet, and their heads weren't that clear color red as the adults'. Shiro kneeled over to pet the closest one, while Shun watched them, slightly frowning under her hair. There was another one of those pesky dragons keeping her master's attention away from her. She had to solve the problem. Shun's eyes gleamed red for a moment as she glared the dragon enjoying Shiro patting it on the head. She had a clean shot at the beast below his shoulder... she just had to aim right. The small dragon aparently noticed a hostile presence, shifting its attention over at the Ralts and her horn now shining a bright purple. It gazed at her with its eyes wide open. Its look almost gave the impression of a curious chick... But she shouldn't feel sorry for it. Besides, she only wanted to scare it off, not hurt it in any way. She just had to shoot the Confusion... Three, two... The sudden burst of energy stroke the baby Druddigon's snout. The attack was small enough in size to pass unnoticed, except, of course, for the dragon. It let out a sound similiar to a Herdier's bark before pushing Shiro away with it's big head and running off to the rest of the pack. Shiro was left confused... what could have made the Druddigon react so suddenly? Was it something that... he had done? A small soft hand suddenly makes it's was onto his back. It was Shun, climbing up on his shoulder. "Did you see that, Shun? What happened there?" He asks her, pushing himself off the ground. She just shrugged, but little did he know she was giggling to herself. "Huh? Oh well..." He tickles her chin, at which she purrs like a cat. "Nothing can be done now. It's gone to the big ones now..." 'Hopefully there won't be any problems though... Not after that Hydreigon incident...'

@Murdoc: Feel free to change your character. It ain't a problem since the story has yet to even begin ~

I like what you wrote ~ You appear to be talented in writing I'm expecting to see your post when I wake up in the morning Most of the people here seem to be free while I am asleep, lolAnd I was simply reading the wiki. Berserker's page says that Illya had to suffer through pain and whatnot because she had no support from the Grail. Dunno what they meant by that :I

Haha, I now feel pretty heartless seeing everyone apologizing and supporting Chim, while I apparently worry only about my character xD

@Chim: Well, I'll be happy with whatever you've got in store for Shiro, but try to keep it so that he's forced to engage and catch the Druddigon (preferably a tough, seemingly dangerous one) since he would never actually try battling such a scary creature on a whim ~ Although you probably planned something like that already, and I'm worrying without a valid reason like I always do

Shun is still a Ralts ~ and Shiro's gonna get into a fight with one of the big Druddigon, possibly because he made a wrong move with the small ones. Of course, if Chim agrees with this idea About Antares... I could say a few things, but I'm gonnna keep my mouth shut because I don't wanna turn out sounding like a banana biscuit for saying something :/
