I wonder how many of those there are now... That's three that I've seen myself.
Also, haha I should probably have used the time I spent last night on the pic to actually write the true prologue.

Yeah! BROCONS ASSEMBLE!
I'll be posting in snippets, because... it's easier for me to write shorter parts at a time. So here's the first part of the prologue. In true Fate/prologue tradition, we're starting with Rin, to be followed in the story-proper by the jarring change in character povs.
Comments/suggestions/fixes are welcome.
Tohsaka Rin sighed as she prepared her summoning circle.
“Geez, why couldn’t Father have given me something I could use to summon Saber,” she muttered as she worked. It was a pain to use her gems like this, but she was sure that doing it this way would net her the best possible Servant.
The pendant her father left her in his will caught Rin’s eye. She contemplated it for a second before shaking her head. “No, better not use that. It’s absolutely irreplaceable, so I can’t risk anything happening to it. Besides, with everything set up this perfectly I know things will work out!”
Rin checked the time again. “Good thing I remembered to set the clocks,” she said. It was nearing 2:00 AM. “How did I manage to have all of them off by an hour, anyway? Whatever, it doesn’t matter anymore. Everything’s fine now.”
Rin stepped back, took a deep breath, and started to chant.
“Das Material ist aus Silber und Eisen.
Der Grundstein ist aus Stein und dem Großherzog des Vertrag.
Der Ahn ist mein großer Meister Schweinorg.
Schutz gegen einen heftigen Wind.
Schließ alle Tore, geh aus der Krone, zirkulier die Gabelung nach dem König.
Füll, füll, füll, füll, füll.
Es wird fünfmal wiederholt.
Nur ist es die volle Zeit gebrochen.”
Ambient magical energy began to fill Rin’s circuits. Facing the ritual circle, she directed the prana out of her body.
“Satz.
Du überläßt alles mir, mein Schicksal überläßt alles deinem Schwert.
Das basiert auf dem Gral, antwort wenn du diesem Willen und diesem Vernunftgrund folgst.
Liegt das Gelübde hier.
Ich bin die Güte der ganzen Welt.
Ich bin das Böse der ganzen Welt.
Du bist der Himmel mit dreien Wortseelen.
Komm, aus dem Kreis der Unterdrückung, der Schutzgeist der Balkenwaage…!”
The world went white. The last thing Rin saw before her sight was overcome was the circle flashing and starting to glow. A non-existent wind fluttered across her face as the ground in front of her started to rumble gently.
As some form of blurry vision returned… red. That was the first thing that got through to Rin. Her eyes cleared and she gasped as she beheld the glorious image in front of her.
This was it. This… vision… before her could only be one thing. This lovely blonde figure dressed in red, one hand on the pommel of a large red and black sword, could be none other than the very being Rin had been hoping to summon: the Servant Saber!
The Servant raised an eyebrow at Rin’s frank appraisal. "Oh? You have summoned me? I assume that would make you my master, then? Very well, I will show you what a real Servant is capable of! I hope you are worthy of having me as your underling!"
Nero's phrase is partially attributed to Irun (though I changed it up a bit). Thanks for the insight!

My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.

Randy Savage will always be in our hearts, fellow wrestling fan(?).You did it again.
But seriously, OHHHHH YEAHHHHH!!!!!!
I suppose I can forgive you, then.
I kind of like how all the posts in the second half of the last page were all slowly getting closer and closer to a legitimate sentence.
We'll get there eventually.
Another short bit before bed.
Rin gaped, but quickly collected herself. “You… you are very presumptuous for a Servant. But answer me this one thing. You are the Saber-class, correct?”
“Of course I am, Master. How could I be anything else? You did notice my sword, did you not?” was the reply.
“Don’t be so foolish, I definitely see your sword. I just wanted to make sure,” Rin said flatly. Inwardly was a different story.
Yes, I did it! Now I’ll win this war for sure! Nothing can stop me! Rin thought. She was so preoccupied with her success that she didn’t notice her mad cackling had leaked into the outside world.
Upon witnessing her master’s short trip into insanity, Saber cocked her head and murmured, “What an… interesting master I’ve been summoned by.”
Immediately snapping back to normal, Rin narrowed her eyes. “What was that? Did you say something I should know about?” she said with a sweet-as-saccharine smile.
“No, nothing, Master. You must have been hearing things,” Saber replied with her own smile. “Now, I’m receiving an excellent amount of prana from you, so that’s one good thing we have already, but we should now discuss our plans for the Holy Grail War.”
Rin nodded in agreement. “Yes, that sounds like a good idea, but it’s getting late. We can do most of that tomorrow, right?”
Sighing in disappointment, Saber responded, “I suppose, Master. I guess since you’re only human you still need your rest.”
Something about the way she said that makes me angry… Rin thought. “One thing first, though,” she said aloud. “Which heroic spirit are you?”
Saber puffed up with arrogance. “Ah, Master. How good of you to ask. You have been lucky enough to summon the Fifth Roman Emperor, Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus,” she haughtily announced.
There was a short pause as Rin assimilated the information.
“...Eh? Aren’t you supposed to be a guy?”
Yay~
