The Fourth Singularity, London.

 

A.D. 1888, The Mist City

Shortly after New Year's, ████████ made it back from the Atlantic. We decided that this time, seeing how bad everything went when we split up, we'd go to the Singularities together.

Who should come with me? I thought of once again, requesting help from Ruler. Archer is adorable, but I'm afraid he might get hurt, having summoned him as a little kid is cute but risky. Not because of who he is, no.
I like him, I know he has a good heart, he is a good boy but he makes me want to play with him, childish as it may be. I wanted to show him pictures of my dogs. I want to be like an older brother to him.
So, Archer insisted he wanted to come along with us because it's London. 
"As a Servant, this is my duty. Even if I'm young, I'm strong. Don't doubt that, please."


Again, I feel honoured to feel this cherished. Little by little, we have been strengthening our bonds, even if...
Ruler. He has only been judging me, observing, giving his opinion in my actions. Evaluating me. Even when we faced Flauros, he remained impassive, as Archer did. Even when I was scared, Ruler stood firm. I should be like him.


When I came to my senses, we were in London. From what Roman told us, the fog in the city was deadly. Luckily, Ruler could shield both Frank and me. 
I really don't want him to get hurt, he's the one who's really leading us while ████████ is pushing through. And, I think I might like him
In the city, we found a Shadow Servant. One which was once summoned in Chaldea. Stupid as she is, ████████ approached Assassin. I had to save her with Ruler, attacking Assassin as soon as possible. This bitch is the densest girl I've met. I know Frank's not that bright, but he's not a fucking maniac like she is.
To sum this up, now we're Frank, Saber and Archer. ████████, Assassin, whom she's lost control of... And her Saber. As for me, it's just Archer and Ruler.


My Servants make a good team, Archer has the courage that Ruler lacks, but he can make up for this with strategy. We chose to split up in three groups, one would try solving what Helter Skelters are with Mordred, then, another group with Caster (he got summoned to this London because of the fog), they would find out why grimoires and books of death are floating about and, my squad plus Henry Jekyll would stop Jack. But, ████████, being obtuse as always, tried to approach Assassin, again. She even tried introducing herself as his mother. What an idiot.

Finding some more clues, we were told to go to the city's underground, where we found a Magus that Leonardo Da Vinci knew. Zouken-something. Like the others; Jason, Lev... He became a demon pillar. It did not take much effort to kill him, but he was able to summon Nikola Tesla. Tesla did something with lightning and I passed out. When I woke up, I saw Archer was taking care of my injuries while Ruler was guarding me. He really is like a dog, I guess. 


Frank and ███ went after Tesla while I was unconscious. I asked Ruler if he was disappointed with me. He wasn't.

I'd hate to disappoint him it's like with Archer. He's afraid of not being strong enough, I'm sure. Since we arrived in London, Archer's been tense. When I mentioned where we were going, he started behaving weirdly. We spent a couple of hours while Archer told me about his life with a certain Lancer in the past, regretting his future self's attitude. Maybe that's why Archer can't get along with Ozymandias?

"Master, if I had the chance to have a second life... I would not mind being more like you, but you would need more friends! Or a boyfriend. You need that."


While that was adorable, I think that was unnecessary. After a couple of hours more talking with Ruler about what justice and being a good man really is, he suddenly shoved me, knocking me out again. Are we being attacked!?

By the time I could take a glance, I saw Archer was gone, as well as the other Servants who made into the singularity, Shakespeare, a foxgirl who until just now, I did not even notice... Even Andersen vanished. Frank was screaming, ████████ was holding Mashu's hand, both on the verge of tears. I don't remember much, but I heard this.

 

"Burn until you leave nothing behind, not even ashes. That is your future, accept it."

When we returned to Chaldea, they treated my wounds, I had some burns but nothing really serious. Grand Caster, King Solomon, managed to cut my link with Ruler and Archer, that's why they disappeared but luckily, they returned to Chaldea. Archer threw himself at me like a puppy and both Caster and Ruler waited for me to join the hug. We all apologized.
Me, for having failed to protect them. Archer, Caster and Ruler for not being able to shield me.
Was this what Frank felt with Emiya and Saber? The power to find this harmony, affection, that's our strength... I will make good use of it. Because this is how we'll recover our future, I know we can do it.
