Fire.

Fire was everywhere. It was a war zone. The entire city was burning, and there seemed to be no sign of life anywhere with nothing but ruins of buildings with raging fire everywhere and light rain falling making it seem the earth is crying in sadness and grief.

Walking slowly out in the open through the ruins of buildings is a kid caring someone or something around 10-13 with short bright red hair and pale purple eyes wearing a long sleeve black T-shirt and black pants with the additional black footwear.

" Onii-chan, are you sure you don't want your coat back? You're clothes are getting all wet." A cute and innocent but worried little boy voice made its way to the red-haired little boy from his back.

Hearing this the red-haired kid said making a slight smile." No, you're Onii-chan is very strong, so you can keep it."

Now if you look closely you see another kid that looks almost identical to the first one but just with light brown eyes wearing a long gray coat with white on the hood.

* Drip...Drip...Drip...Drip...Drip...Drip...*

With the sound of rain falling the first red-haired kid's appearance started to change drastically with his pale purple eyes altering to bright purple with a gold-ish pupil in his eyes and the characterized by concentric circles strangely covering the eyeball like it's trying to keep something in or out. Then his bright red hair changed slowly to raven black with a few bright red strands of hair making seem it's not the last time we will see it. And lastly, his white milky skin gradually transformed to pale white skin like a vampire compelling who/what every to him like a bunch otaku's to an Anime-con or a lot of ugly bastards to a Loli.

" O-Onii-c-chan wh-what's happening to you?!?" The little boy yelled witnessing the transformation to his Onii-chan with an even more worried expression hugging him even tighter...but soon he started losing consciousness regardless he still held his Onii-chan in a steel-like grip not benefiting his age at all.

{Azrael Nura, I The Goddess Of Death Hel has given you my first and last blessing so My £¢€¥~~ Do anything you so desire before I welcome you to Helheim as the rightfully ¥€¢£¥£¢€!!!} A Goddes enchanting, loving, caring voice made its way to the new transform kid now identified as •Azrael Nura•.

Listening to the voice, Azrael said with void-like eyes and an expressionless expression still slowly walking." Death Is Me, Death Loves Me. Death Is Me, Death Loves Me. Death Is Me, Death Loves Me."

He then collapsed on the floor with a peaceful expression looking ahead seeing a man running to them with half-opened eyes. On his black laid his otouto( little brother) breathing in and out softly with a comfortable expression.

The man running to them is wearing a black suit and trench coat. His face shows a blank expression with his eyes reflecting a vacant look with tears running down his face spotting the duo on the floor, one half-consciousness and the other asleep.

Crouching down and hugging the boys the man seemed so happy. Almost as if he, not them, was the one who'd been saved.

Even on the verge of death, Azrael was jealous(?) as the man gratefully said," Thank you." over and over again as if, he found his saving grace.

Because by saving even two little boys, he'd saved himself.

*Crack!* *Break!* *Crack!* *Break!* *Crack!* *Break!* *Crack!* *Break!* *Crack!* *Break!* *Crack!* *Break!*

BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

With the sound of glass breaking noises and an enormous explosion, everything started disappearing like it was an illusion all along leaving the void with Azrael alone staring into the void finding 12 pairs of bright purple eyes with a unique design implanted in them like his looking back at him.

" Huh, I guess Nietzsche was right when he said, 'if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you'." Azrael said possessing a strange smile before also disappearing with the 12 pairs of purple eyes that looked like they smiled.

*Inhale* *Huff* *Exhale!* *Huff!*

" Haaa...That was just a dream of some pleasant but unpleasant memories." Azrael mumbled waking up still in the forest with Mother Nature protecting him.

Standing up, Azrael said walking to where the wolves were looking at the gold ring on his right pointer finger." The One Ring." Then a white hologram screen with gold letters showed up in his mind.

[Ding!!! Scanning.... affirmative The Host is right.

~The One Ring~

The One Ring was to be believed one of the most powerful artifacts ever created in another Realm called Middle-earth. It was crafted by the Dark Lord Sauron in the fire of Orodruin, also known as Mount Doom, during the Second Age. Sauron's intent was to enhance his own power, and to exercise control over the other Rings of Power, which had been made by Celebrimbor and his people with Sauron's assistance. In this way, he hoped to gain lordship over the Elves and all of the other races in Middle-earth.

The One Ring was also known as the Ruling Ring, the Master Ring, the Ring of Power, and Isildur's Bane, Or, The One Ring to Rule Them All.

Analyzing the hologram screen Azrael said with a neutral voice now out of the forest." Thanks for the re-cap."

After saying that he started walking to the cave where he 'helped' the wolves not minding getting no reply from the system.

Soon Azrael found the cave discovering the big gray wolf still at the entrance guarding the four asleep pups with her paws planted in the Earth firmly looking at the 'human' that gave it the feeling of a close family member with a comfortable and warm aura surrounding him like a thin back but steel like blanket.

Walking to the wolf with a 'gentle' and 'caring' smile that people from Azrael old world(?) will remember... very well.

Putting out his right hand out still 'smiling' the wolf looked at Azrael who just nodded. Getting a nod the wolf sniffed his right hand inhaling black mist that without a nanosecond shot into the wolf's nose before it can even do something.

*Shooosh!*

Slowly, but surely the wolf's once sky blue eyes became all black resembling the void emotionless staring at Azrael's also all black void-like eyes.

Soon a hologram screen showed up in Azrael's mind.

[Ding!!! Does the Host accept to dominate the Rank 2 •Gray Hard Stone Dire Wolf• and turn it into the Host's first Servant?

|---(Y)---(N)---|]

" Yes." Saying this Azrael saw the big gray dire wolf fur change to full black. Then its right sky blue eye transformed to a piercing blood-red with an ancient gold clock with roman numerals imprinted its left eye shining ever so slightly in a golden glow.

Seeing this Azrael had his strange smile and walked to the sleeping four cubs getting no reaction from the now all-black dire wolf with a smile threatening to pass his ears.

Putting his right hand over them he said emotionless sounding as if the void has a voice of its own." Thy Will is thine Will."

*Auuuuuu!!!*

Standing where the four wolf pups once now stood four pitch-black wolf pups looking like a mini version of the big one with the ancient gold clock with roman numerals imprinted its left eye glowing golden.

[Ding!!! Host, you have 5 spots left in your soul]

Nodding Azrael said now walking away from the cave." Rest my children."

*Whooosh!*

Disappearing in black mist and shooting in Azrael's forehead the five wolves vanished making him smile feeling a strange but good sensation like that one time when he made some odd drug with plants with an ancient vampire who gave it to him with note reading." Give my pupil a better future and Fate."

The only person who fits that description in Azrael's books is his best friend and self-proclaimed "Head Wife" Rin Tohsaka.

' I going to miss my cute tsundere. Oh, god knows I love teasing her. But... deep down she's a Yandere like most girls around me.' Azrael thought with a smile then said looking to the Heavens like she was unjust to him." Heavens what did I ever do to deserve this? Huh, what is it now? Did I somehow lewd My cute loli step-sister(Illya) without knowing if so.... that would be regretful, very... Or is it you're a Yandere yourself and trying to get my intention? If So I'm Listening!!"

Getting no answer or any sign from the heavens, Azrael said walking to the forest with an arrogant expression like he is the son of heaven making it seen everything and everyone is beneath him." Humph! Mongrels all of you!" With this, even The King Of Heroes will probably lift his eyebrow with interest and amusement and question if Azrael is related to him somehow.

Laughing at his home own antics he then said with a long sign now back to where he was before leaving." *sigh" Now I wish kurumi was here as well."

" Ara~ Ara~ does my loving husband miss me so much?" A beautiful and enchanting female voice made it to Azrael's ears making his smile stiff like a cat getting its tail stepped on.

Floating behind Azrael appeared is a beautiful girl with white jade-like skin and long, black hair tied in long twin tails. Her right eye is red-tinted while her left eye appears as a golden, inorganic clock face. The positions of the clock hands with roman numerals imprinted in her left eye glowing radiant gold.

The Dress, which she wears, is made out of crimson and black frills, giving her the appearance of an elegant Gothic Lolita with uneven twin tails. On her head, she usually wears a big crimson net bow to hold her hair. She also wears a red and black collar on her neck.

With her arms around Azrael's neck, she said with a smile covering his left eye with her hand." Does My loving husband~ need, kurumi~ for something?" As she said this Azrael felt something shift like gears in his body making his left eyes glow gold behind Kurumi's hand.

*Whoosh*

Like magic two black and gold flintlock pistols with a striking gold name reading [Zaphkiel] releasing an ancient feeling appeared at his waist, right and left separately.

*Inhale!* *Exhale!* *Inhale!* *Exhale!*

After breathing in and out, Azrael said with a unique smile looking to the right feeling an incredible sensation running throughout his body like he can do whatever he wants." Haaa! I miss this feeling!" Saying this kurumi moved her hand gracing the world a beautiful golden eye with an inorganic bright gold clock with roman numerals imprinted in his left eye glowing like the same as kurumi.

" Now we're twinsies!" kurumi exclaimed excitedly floating around Azrael like a ghost smiling.

Azrael had a slight smile on his face looking at kurumi who is so happy like she pulled a 5-star Marlin on her first try in [FGO].

~Sometime later~[ Location: God Realm In Azrael's Old World/----/Year:2025/----/ Time: 10:45 PM/.]

In a 'simple' room with some anime posters here and there with anime bookshelves of manga and Japanese light novels laid on a big bed a Goddess-like girl around 16-18 with long radiant gold hair and brilliant gold eyes. She wears a long black sweater with a black and red pin-wheel pattern on the back and black sweats with a red and white paper fan symbol on the sides of the sweats.

" My Azrael~~*moan!* Azrael is this Aphrodite not enough for you? Do I have to kill every slut to get Your intention?! Even if I have to slaughter all My family and anything related to them then I will gladly do it!" Now named and identified as •Aphrodite• said moaning sniffing her jacket with a flushed red face and pupilless eyes.

" Haaa! His smell~ Why do His smell so delicious and good!?! MmmMmm!~..., ...Huh?! Ishtar? Venus?" At first, she was getting her hourly dose of Azrael by sniffing his jacket she 'innocently and nicely borrowed' from him but suddenly stopped as she smelled something or for this matter someone she utterly hates and despises.

Without even changing she disappeared in pink flowers with a hateful expression.

[Back To The Azrael Emiya(The MC)]

Looking at a small village on top of a hill we see Azrael back to his 'normal form' without a gold clock in his left eye and a black-haired Goddess(kurumi) by him.

Suddenly, he tilted his head to the right and said with much confusion in his eyes but still having a sly old Fox grin." Huh? Why do I feel some of my plans are working?... Well, whatever! I will leave that later to tomorrow me." Saying this Azrael started to walking down the hill with his hands in behind his back like some sort of an arrogant Young Master from some Chinese novels he once read.
