Prelude to the war

[Abandoned Warehouse, no true POV, sometime between 221 hours, 36 min., 1 second and 174, halfhour,]

The words left Vincent's mouth before he could think of the repercussions. The boy looked confused for a moment before asking him a 'few' questions. "Who are you? Where am I? What do you mean about me being your master?" The child looked scared and he had every right to be after what had happened to him.

Vincent sighed before asking a question as well. "First,I have a question for you kid, what's your name?" The kid seemed to calm down a little bit at that question, and replied.

"Haruto Shiobana."

Vincent smiled and introduced himself in return.

"You can call me V or Caster, whichever you prefer and excuse my language young man, we are both fucked."

Haruto, taken aback by the language used by V shakily asked a question.

"W-what do you mean V?"

"Well you see, we are in the middle of a city wide war but not just any war, a 'holy grail war' in which heroic spirits from the past come back to life to fight for a wish that can only be obtained by being the last one standing in the grail war."

Haruto although confused, hearing the word wish asked a question in a low voice.

"V, If I were to win, could I bring my parents back to life?"

V pondered for a moment before nodding.

"Yes, if you were to win the grail war I believe it would be possible."

Haruto's face lit up in excitement before asking another question.

"Is there anything else I need to know about the war V?"

V responded quickly.

"Yes, but there are more pressing matters at the moment."

"Like what?" asked Haruto?

"Planning." responded V with a smirk.

.....Warehouse,sometime between 221 hours, 36 min., 1 second and 174, halfhour, V...

V smiled as he watched his masters face curl into contemplation. He had to act oblivious as to not arouse suspicion from any sources. V knew one wrong move would be checkmate for him and his master, so he decided to not reveal any of the more important issues of the grail war to his master (I.e Holy grail being corrupted) V knew it was cruel to do so, but he knew his master's survival should come first in this war. Which was why he lied about the grail granting a wish.

Haruto was a smart kid, but V knew that would not be enough for him to survive in the grail war. So V started to devise a plan and a devilish smirk appeared on his face. First, he would inform his master about the rules and intricacies in the grail war, then he would make a visit to a certain temple.. From his calculations, he had around three days until the fight at the docks. Using his newly discovered abilities, he would finish his plan with a bang.

'V, I know that face, whatever your planning don't put it into action! You know your weak ass can't handle beings on the level of servants' Griffon, the avian menace and now V's familiar spoke to him in his mind advising him not to do what he was thinking of doing. V decided not to listen to the bird and put his plan into action anyway, after all what could go wrong?

alot.

....Timeskip, Fuyuki docks, V Pov, 149 hours, 47 min., 12 seconds ....

Griffon was right. V thought as he looked at the destruction left by the fight of the heroic spirits. V was now on the shit list of almost every master and heroic spirit air in this war why? Well, he'd have to think back to his actions in the previous days to find the answer.

'Or I could just tell you idiot' Griffon mocked. V sighed. The bird was getting on his nerves. Even if the bird had a point. Being the only familiar V could have a conversation with, he tolerated him anyway. He wondered what the war overseers would do to cover this much destruction. Gas Leak, nodde V sagely.

V sighed as he walked through the shadows on his way back to ryuuodo temple. He hid his presence as much as possible as to not alert possible nearby servants, familliers, or masters. 'Oi Shakespeare, while your out but some clothes and groceries, a disguise for yourself and food for the kid.'

V nodded his head in agreement. It was a good idea, he didn't want his master to starve anyway.
