123 Finding comfort

"So to sum it up, your one of the servants participating in this holy grail war and the only survivor yes?" Romani asked.

"I didn't lose if that's what you meant." Chulainn said.

"At some point, our holy grail war changed. One night, suddenly the whole city was on fire, humans disappeared and only servants remained."

"Saber was the first one to start up the holy grail war again. That one went on a rampage, like a hungry animal that was released into the wild."

"Saber defeated archer, lancer, rider, berserker and assassin. Then the defeated servants became corrupted by a dark shadow as you saw with lancer."

"I got rid of black rider and assassin before you, as for berseker.... Well I'm sure he won't attack us if we leave him alone."

"So if we defeat the remaining servants..." Romani trailed off.

"The holy grail war will end." Chulainn followed up.

"There's also a chance that we could fix the singularity F abnormality, too." Olga added

"Do you know where it is?"

"Yeah, at the heart of this island, they're protecting it." Chulainn looked at his south and continued.

"The corrupted holly grail."

"I'll take care of the archer bastard. I need to settle things between us once and for all."

"You really don't mind helping us? Even if you know little about or situation?" Olga asked.

"No, I don't mind, don't worry about it."

"Great! Now we have another ally with us." Mash happily cheered.

"So what do we do now?" Asked my fellow master.

"We'll rest of course, I need to think about how I would deal with the clocktower after we're done here."

Romani helped us find a safe place on a building nearby and we took that time to eat and talk to each other. We found each found a room and slept there.

I went inside my inner world and met with Amber, without word I hugged her and and laid on the bed already there.

Amber held me really tight and buried her face to my chest.

Knowing what was going on I held her tighter while I called out her name and softly kissed her.

"I'm not going anywhere, didn't I say? I will never leave you."

"How are you so sure? You were right on the ground there, bruised up and dying."

At this point Amber's voice was cracking as her body begun to shake.

"I.... I was too afraid.... I..... I didn't want to lose you but I might destroy you with your bankai.... I..... I didn't know what to do!" She cried out as tears rad down her face.

Seeing the usual confident and lively Amber like this broke me, I could also no longer hold it as I also begun to cry.

Amber noticed this and looked up in shock, her husband was always strong and brave.

"Amber Amber it's not your fault, It's mine. I thought that Zane wouldn't interfere with our lives because he was a higher being. I thought I had at least several more years, that's why I got lazy and neglected my training."

"No. It's not your fault, you were stuck in the void for so many years that you just want to enjoy new things that you missed."

"I was so scared too? Afraid of losing you, afraid of losing everyone I got to know and afraid of going back to that place."

"Shhhhhhhhh, remember this Claude, I will NEVER let you go, I don't care what I have to do, I will never let you be alone again."

Amber never thought of the day to see the love of her life cry, but strangely enough though, seeing him like this expressing her feelings gave her a sense of relief.

The two soon fell asleep in each other arms with happy smiles and tears.
