KMS (Kriegsmarine Schiffe) Bismarck was a german battleship built at the beggining of the WWII. It was the largest battleship built by european powers.
Battleships were the pride of every nation and a show of power. They represented the destructive power and beauty of war, represented how humans pushed their tecnology and desire for destruction to the ultimate limits.
Everything started with an
idea: "A strong ship to impose our might upon our enemies". As the news of an immensely powerfull ship spread, the people started to fill that
idea with their
.
That country was already strong, and the war was already raging. All they wanted was something to
win over their enemies.
So, that essence was filled with the desire to
win.
"
We will win"
"This ship will bring our to reality"
"With this we will make then pay for challenging us"
"This weapon will kill every last one of them"
It was a simbol of their victory, the reason why the enemies should fear their power.
But as history once again proved, reality is often disapointing.
That powerfull warship sank on its first mission, tasting but a fleeting glory.
Even so, the story of its last struggle filled the people's hearts. Fighting until the last minute, until the last shell, never giving up no matter how disavantageous, and sinking still flying their colors.
Even if only a little, that essence has finally tasted hope.
Sadly, the history is written by the victorious. When the war was lost, that ambition and hope acquired a
meaning:
Evil.
That country was evil"
"Their ambitions where bad"
"Their hope was cruel"
Even that fleeting hope turned
evil.
But, if you look at it from another point of view, that country didn't build that ship to bear hope. They wanted a hunting monster, a literal beast of steel.

"Everyone dreams of power.
Not necessarily super-powers,
But a real power, something to make the world move...
If there was a power like that, would you want it?
A power to move the people,
to bring the dreams of prosperity to reality,
to change everything you want,
to save everyone you want,
to change the world.
But what if that power takes everything away from you?
not your life,
or your feelings,
but you mind
your body
your sanity
And what if that very power violates your body?
what if because of that very power, you will be eternally remembered and hated as a monster?
still would you want it?
Well, someone took it"
In a distant future,
A certain girl lived.
A life forsaken by pleasures
In a house forsaken by everything
In a city forsaken by the government
In a country forsaken by God
This girl suffered by the time she came to the world.
In all ways, in all intensities.
She saw only fails in all her short life.
Fails everywhere, like cracks. In the ground, the people, the mirror
Only the sea didn't have cracks
That's why she always liked stare at the sea
Massive, imponent, clean, without fails
Only one thing attained her to this world and her sanity
But when that thing too was stolen, she crumbled.
That same night, she cursed and prayed.
With all her might and more
So many times, with so much fervor.
So, an entity came to her in her dreams
_"Would you like power, girl? To do anything you want?"
_"Power to bring this crumbling country to its former glory"
_"But the price will be far more than what you can ever pay"
That essence was too weak to manifest as itself, so it needed a vessel.
Even so, the girl accepted the
, determined to use this great power to change this cruel world.
To bring greatness to that poor country.
The girl wasn't a genius in any way. Just a common kid you can see anywhere.
But after that night, it was like she was an entirely different being, abilities far surpassing that of any human.
With not only physical or magical abilities, also mental abilities, she crushed her foes.
"
The world don't need a saint, a superhero or a god. The world needs a leader"
As the girl grew up, she took comand of the country with her iron fist, promising glory and prosperity.
"[SO STARTING THE FIFTH EMPIRE]"
If eventually summoned in a Holy Grail War the vessel will take the caracteristics of that girl, becoming a full-fledged servant.
