Chapter 1: A Knight's Sacrifice: One Life for Another

"All of you…forgive me…for I have availed you nothing." – Artorias in Dark Souls III

In an old tale within Japan tells a tale about two heroes of that time.

One that was neglected by his parents, who didn't have chakra or the promise to be an heir of the clans. The son, the Wolf Knight breaks away and becomes the Abysswalker.

The other strive to have family back together and saves the world, breaking the circle of hatred and brings hope. The daughter, the Fox Sage and becomes the Second Sage of the Six Paths.

This was the story of Artorias the Abysswalker and Mito Namikaze the Fox Sage, the two Servants of the Great Holy Grail and the impact they leave on towards the war and each other.

Church (Red Faction)

Within the Church that has the Red Faction (minus Saber and her master) make base at thanks to Priest Shirou Kotomine and the Servants of Red were doing their own thing until orders come from their masters or the priest informs them.

Just outside the Church, around the back had a few birds being fed by a Servant that was enjoying his peace and quiet.

It was a young man wearing armor black as night which looks corrupted by the Abyss due to his armor looking putrefied, oozing an aura of darkness. His great shield was on his back. He possesses a Greatsword that has also been consumed yet is still far from ineffective and stabbed into the ground that was a few feet by him. By the helmet had a blue shroud by his helm.

This was one of the Servants of Red, Berserker of Red to hit the nail on the head.

The knight heard footsteps coming towards him which got his attention and scare the birds away to fly away, getting him to lower his head and sighed. It was the way it was, but let's see who show up.

It was a mature and beautiful woman with long black hair as night, golden eyes that are sited like a snake, a black dress that was black as night, and long pointed elf-like ears coming to pass her hair. This was another Servant of Red, Assassin of Red or by her true name that she shared with the knight, Semiramis, the Wise Queen of Assyria. A Queen that the knight has vowed to serve more so than his master that doesn't show him or herself to him. Coward act and not in favor of the knight.

"Yes, my Queen," Berserker greeted with a knee before his Queen.

"Rise up my knight. I have a task for you that my master request of you and your skills," Semiramis said, having the knight getting up on his feet.

"What does your master request of me, my Queen?" Berserker asked.

"To test your blade against the Black Faction. We need to know what we are up against and this shall be your time to strike against our enemies, Knight of Gwyn," Semiramis answered.

The Berserker or Knight of Gwyn nodded his head before taking a knee before the Empress and lowered his head.

"Then I shall taste my blade against the Black Faction that holds the Grail with no victory. I shall test them in your name my Queen Semiramis," Berserker vowed to his new Queen, who he tested more than his mystery master and strive to sever a ruler as he did in his past life.

Semiramis smiled at the knight's vows as her right hand rubbed kindly on the knight's helm and was grateful for such a knight to serve and listen to her. If only she had a knight like him in her lifetime and maybe something else.

Berserker rises on his feet, walking towards his Greatsword to grab and started to take part for his mission in the name of his queen.

"You will have a backup from Archer and Rider, Berserker. Be safe, my knight, Artorias," Semiramis said, seeing the knight leaving but stopped to turn around and nodded his head at the Wise Queen which caused her to smile.

Berserker or Artorias kept walking forward before disappearing in the abyss, his spirit form and moved towards where his mission will start.

Semiramis turn around to see one of her familiars, a drove following the knight and couldn't help herself to think back on how she met one of the Knights of Gwyn.

There were a good number of knights that some will remember to this very day. Some were heroes that die by the dark or fallen knights that become something worse.

Only a few knights that strive, Lord Gwyn, are long remembered and recorded into the Throne of Heroes.

In Gwyn's Age of Fire, there were four knights, who are recorded into the Throne of Heroes for their trials and legend.

The first was Hawkeye Gough, who fought in the first war against the Dragons. He exalted in the thrill of the hunt as he plucks dragons out of the sky with his enormous great bow. Soon the only dragons left were in his memories which he revisited endlessly. He will be summoned as an Archer-Class Servant.

The second was who fought on the land against the dragons was Ornstein, the Dragon Slayer. He wielded a long lightning cross spear that could be stamped deep into a stone dragon's hide. It was said that spear was formed an exiled god of war, but it has never been investigated. He will be more likely to be summoned as a Lancer.

The third was Ciana, one of the Lord's Blade and very well skilled assassin under Gwyn. She killed for Gwyn in the Age of Fire to follow. She was as deadly as she is beautiful. She would be summoned as an Assassin.

But now of none were as well-equipped as the last knight of Gwyn, the Great-Knight Artorias himself. The Wolf Knight or the Abysswalker as many called him, was the best knight to serve under Gwyn. He shows up and rose up within the ranks to become one of the best knights. It was rumored that he and Ciaran were lovers which were true, and the great knight had a few more as well. He was also known to ride and have an animal ally named the Great Wolf Sif. He was must lucky be summoned as a Saber Class Servant but can also be a Berserker with his Mad Enhancement at Rank E for safety and good reasons.

The smile never left the Wise Queen of Assyria as she remembered when Artorias stood before her and made his vow of serving her, and only her, not his master. His master didn't show up and shows the act of cowardice. He didn't like that and was willing to serve a Queen instead of a coward.

The Assassin of Red was very touched by the Knight's and respect her for who she is. A strong woman that is his Queen and will protect her whenever she calls him. Again, she really wishes that Artorias was in her time, they would have done a lot of work like now.

Semiramis knows that Artorias and other two Servants will come back from their mission as she believes in the Great Knight. He wasn't just now to be a single Knight but has worked with allies and understand the code of arms of combination.

The mission will start soon enough.

Somewhere in Japan

In Japan, had a temple and an old Kanata resting, waiting for its owner to take it once again. Soon a ruin summoning circle formed and within a powerful force of light shines through the whole temple. Smoke surrounded the area and dies down to show a female samurai rising from her knee position. She walked towards the kanata, grabbing it to have her magic clean it and strapped on her hip. The warrior leaves the temple with a mission, a wish, and reason to be in this Grail War. She will fulfill it as she never breaks a promise and vows to fix one, she failed in one life.

This Grail War has gotten interesting and something will happen next time.

Forest (Black Faction)

Within the forest, near the Black Faction base, has Berserker of Red matching towards the castle and gain the attention of the Black Servants. It was a battle that fills excitement within the Great Knight but also cation and is on guard against the enemy servants. Artorias only felt this worried and concern for himself when he fought Manus, protected his friend Sif, and the walk the abyss, but this fight wasn't like that. This time the Wolf Knight wasn't alone nor will be facing the enemy servants alone either. So, this will be a total differently fight then his past adventures and something he looks forward too.

Before the Knight Servant could move, four earth golems crawled out of the ground and stood against the Great Knight. The golems started to match against the knight and the said to draw out his weapon. His great shield came onto his left arm in a black mist while he draws out his Greatsword with his right hand.

With a powerful right swing of his Greatsword, Artorias swung a powerful air slash towards the first golem that attacked him and destroyed the earth into the piece to become dirt again. The next two golems charged the knight but were destroyed easily with two attacks.

The last golem stood still but started to take slow steps back as Berserker was closing in on him like a wolf coming in for his prey.

Then Artorias lunged forward and thrust his Greatsword into the golem's gut, knocking the earth creature down into the ground and stabbed the gut a few times to make sure the core was destroyed for good. The earth golem twitched a few times as the knight stabbed him but soon fall dead into the dirt.

Berserker of Red brought his sword up and placed it on his right shoulder, knowing that it was over for now and looked up in the trees to see two his allies hiding in the shadows. They have got up and now touch base with notes.

The Knight jumped on one of the tree branches and looked to see his two allies on this mission.

The first was Archer of Red, who was a young woman with blonde hair that had the top had green with lion-like ears, green eyes, and a lion tail. She wore a forest green battle dress, skirt, battle boots, and carried a longbow by her side.

The second was Rider of Red, who was a young man with green spiky hair and yellow raptor-like eyes. He wore black clothing with silver Greek battle armor with an orange wrapped around his chest that reaches to his knees.

"No Servants of Black yet, but my attack will get their attention soon enough," Artorias informed before he looked

"Indeed. Do you think we should keep going Rider?" Archer asked, turning her head to the Greek Rider while having an eye forward to keep an eye out for any servants.

"If you want too then go right ahead, Nee-san," Rider said with one close and smirk on his face.

"My name is Atalanta. Stop calling me sister, Achilles," Archer, or Atalanta, snapped quietly before looking forward.

Artorias shook his head and said, "He just trying to form a sibling bond with you, Atalanta. Bonds are known to be formed in war. He means to no hard feelings."

This caused Rider or Achilles to laugh a little and said, "Artorias is right. Don't sweat it."

Atalanta grunted a little but understands their words.

Also, on a good note, Artorias had shared his true name with his fellow alley Servants as a sign of honor and trust. So, there was that and moving on.

"So anyway, how about we go take a look on what we are up against," Achilles offered with a smile on his face.

"Agree and this will work out great for us to see the Black Faction firsthand. I could already guess that the golems were made by a Caster Servant," Artorias agreed and informed.

"Very well, but if we are outnumbered. We fall back, our masters will be fine with that," Atalanta said before looking out for Servants or golems that dare to pop up after the beating that the knight gave them.

'Masters', that word hit to the core of three servants, mostly Achilles and Artorias now. The Rider servant looked at this right hand, thinking deeply of the pact he has with his master and was having a hard time it. The Berserker glowed about his coward and faceless master, hating him and was more willing to server his Queen instead, but did think on why he never has seen his master and seem odd.

"Our masters huh? Hey Nee-san, Artorias, have you ever seen your master's face" Achilles asked, being in deep thought.

Artorias shook his head and said, "No and the good reason I should never meet my coward master. I rather server a lord or lady instead."

"I haven't either. The only master that I met was the priest that is Assassin of Red's Master," Atalanta resounded as she thinks about the pact and watched for any trouble in case an attack happens.

"Hmm, the pact is there. We gain information from our masters, orders come and go, but he or she never show themselves to us," Achilles said, being troubled and started to think about this situation.

"This is an odd situation," Artorias said, agreeing with Rider and understand what he meant.

While the Berserker servant hates cowards that can't fight or a master that won't stand by his side but wonder why his master never show up when he was summoned and explain him or herself. Such an odd situation.

Atalanta also agreed with them about their master and servant pact, being odd and needed some answered to their question.

"It's normal for Mages to hide and attack from the shadows, but this seems cowardly," Atalanta commented.

The three Servants looked back at the spot that had the golems destroyed, seeing nothing so far and wonder if the Black Faction will come.

Atalanta's eyes widen for a second before narrowing as she senses something ahead.

"Something wrong?" Artorias asked in concern as Rider shared the same for their ally Servant.

The Huntress didn't answer at first as she looks closer head and said, "It's them."

The Black Faction was coming and now the second battle of the Grail War can start. The Servants of Red to form a plan and begin their battle.

Time Skip

Somewhere in an open area had trees surrounding it and stone pillars pointing up. The Servants of Black had come and seen two Servants of Red were here. Berserker of Red was knee down with both of his hands on the Greatsword, sending a pray and wanting for the Black Faction as to throw at him. Rider of Red was leaning up against a tree with his spear on his shoulders and closed his eyes, waiting for the enemy to come to him as the Great Knight was up and will wait for those that come to him.

Little did the Black Faction know is that Archer of Red was hiding in the tree at far and waited to make her move.

Dark Souls Artorias of the Abyss: Knight Artorias OST

The Great Knight rose his head up to see the first servant of Black coming too, being a Rider Servant from the looks of it. Rider of Black had come out to the battlefield with a golden holy lance ready and smiled as well. (Astolfo will be female to avoid traps)

"Hello Berserker of Red, I'm Rider of Black and I shall be your opponent!" Rider cheerful said.

Berserker didn't speak but nodded his head and stood up on his feet as to draw out his Greatsword out of the dirt. His left arm was covered in shadow before having a Greatshield appearing before him. The Wolf Knight was ready for battle.

"Oh? That's cool!" Rider said with stars in her eyes of such display but will get more as some golems have appeared to add her.

The Earth Golems charged at the Great Knight to surround him but failed as Berserker swung his Greatsword and destroyed the golems into pieces with just one swing of his sword. This shocked the Rider servant of such strength and could tell that this wasn't going to be easy as this servant was sane to her.

"You will have to do better, Caster of Black. Now to face you, Rider," Artorias said, turning his full attention towards the young girl as the last golems were dealt with for now.

The Rider of Black was even more shock that this Berserker could talk and was indeed sane, but she moves past that as the battle has started.

"Oh jeez," Rider mumbled before she jumps on a tree oak with her spear ready.

"Berserker of Red, you now face one of Twelfth Paladins of Charlemagne," Rider proudly spoke with her smirk not leaving her face.

Artorias titled his head to the side, wondering who this Rider was as there were a few that server Charlemagne. Twelfth, yes, a but a good number of them are known and number it down to a few. So, which one is Rider of Black is? A good question and only one way to find out as the battle will take place.

"Here I go! Trap of Argalia!" Rider shouted, having her lancer cover in golden mana and pointed at her target – Berserker.

Sensing the danger and power of the Noble Phantom being unleashed, Artorias brought his great shield and blocked the attack that was coming at him. Rider smirked, thinking that she had landed a good hit on the enemy servant and appeared on another side to see the outcome of her attack.

At first, the Black Servant thought that she got the Red Servant but was shocked that her attack was blocked and didn't even damage the shield the not so much Mad Servant held.

"Glad I had this, Hehehe," The Great Knight said with a chuckled as he turns around to face the Rider Servant who recover from her shocked state of mind.

"I figure that your lance is a Noble Phantom and guest that it has an attack effect when it hit its target. Glad that my great shield protects me from that, or my left arm would go into spirit form," Artorias said, getting ready for next attack from Rider or the other Servants.

"I see, that shield must be your Noble Phantom that can block Trap of Argalia's effect, huh. Not bad and awesome," Rider said, liking that shield and this wasn't going to be an easy one.

"My thanks, Paladin of Charlemagne. While I will like to tell you my name from one knight to another, but my Queen won't like that… and the battle is getting started," Artorias said before lunging at the pink-haired servant with his sword swing downwards at her.

Rider rolled out of the way and on time as the attack landed on the ground. The downwards swing from the sword was covered in some shadow like mana and caused the ground to burn for a second before calming down. She will need to be more careful and won't be fighting alone as the backup as shown up.

Five earth golems rise from the ground and surround the Great Knight in order to back up Rider of Black.

From of the corner of his eye, Artorias saw Caster of Black at the sidelines and commanding the golems. So, he was right about Caster making the golems and could guest some who can great such a fine work with these golems. He can worry about that later as the battle was starting.

The Wolf Knight lunged at the first golem and swung his sword downwards to slice the golem in half which broke apart into pieces. He then throws his shield to one golem which took the head off from the powerful force and returns into his left arm to block a fit coming at him.

Artorias then swung his sword to the right which broke the golem apart and soon used his shield to block another attack from Rider. He pushed her off, causing to lose her balance and wide open for an attack, but wasn't the case as the knight attacked another golem instead.

The Great Knight thrust his sword forward, stabbing the golem and moved his sword upwards to break the core apart. The sword was covered in blue shadow flame, burning the golem into ashes and left nothing behind as the fire went out.

The last two golems charged at the knight but were easily taken down by four mana covered arrows that were fired by Archer of Red, who was hiding at the safe and long area from the two battles that were taking place. She saw an opening and fired her arrows at the golems to help her fellow servant.

"My thanks, Archer…now then, let the battle keep on going," Artorias said, thanking his fellow servant and turn his attention to see Lancer of Black coming in battle who is riding a black house with silver armor.

Now it was getting interesting.

With Archer and Rider of Red

Achilles saw Saber and Berserker of Black while resting on a tree and stood upright to greet them.

"You two had me waiting. Saber and Berserker, I presume?" Achilles asked, knowing who they are and caused Berserker to grunt her teeth at him.

In the shadows in trees, Atalanta waited for an opening strike and allowed Rider of Red to fight on his own as she did with Berserker of Red.

"Darn, I'm held in such low regard. Sending only two to handle me?" Achilles asked while closing his eyes before opening them back up.

"I'm offended!" Achilles shouted with a smirk on his face and scared many crows to fly away.

The two servants black got their guard up, being ready to fight.

"Rider is my class, but I won't be using my chariot. It'd be grossly disproportionate against only two of you," Achilles said, pointing his spear at his enemies.

Saber and Berserker of Black ready themselves against the Rider of Red, knowing that this Rider Class Servant will not make it easy for them nor will they let up.

"I'll beat the meaning of a real hero–a real warrior– into you," Achilles added, getting ready for servants to come at him.

Saber of Black attacked first while Achilles easily blocked and countered Saber's attacks. He even saw Berserker coming at him from behind, and attacked her legs, causing her to fall into the ground. Saber saw an opening to attack the Rider from behind but failed and his sword was grabbed before being stabbed in the shoulder while grunting a little in pain, before backing away.

Saber and Berserker soon regrouped, seeing that Rider of Red wasn't a servant to take lightly. Achilles tried to talk to Saber into smiling or laughing, but the knight spoked that it might offend others on the battlefield. This caused Rider to close his eyes and waited for his two allies to strike at the opening.

"Yeah, but it could also lead to salvation," Achilles said, as an arrow flew past him towards their target.

Saber grunted in pain as he was launched back by the arrow, onto a tree. He widens his eyes and saw the servant in the shadows of the trees, noticing it was a trap.

"The sneak attack from Nee-san work out perfect. Since your side is fighting our Berserker to knock off the playing fields, I think it's fair to evening the odds," Achilles said, pointing his spear at the mad servant girl.

Berserker grunted her teeth in anger and started to power herself up, causing green lightning to move across her mace. Achilles narrowed his eyes little but didn't see her has a threat to him, though he kept guard and spear up. Before the two servants can attack, Saber somehow got off the tree and pulled his sword to active his Noble Phantom, having a blue aura surrounded him and his sword.

Achilles challenged the Saber of Black to show what he can do, but soon was the shock that the servant stopped all the sudden and disappeared in spirit form. He was taken back and wonder what was going on, maybe his master was upset with him or forced him to retreat. Something was off, but he can now deal with another servant with no trouble.

"That's a shame," Achilles commented, before turning his attention back to Berserker.

The mad servant was about to attack but stopped to listen to her master first, before going in.

"Now then-," Achilles said, but was cut off when a golden arrow shot out of nowhere and into his left shoulder.

Rider grunted in pain a little and was shocked by the sudden attack. The shock that he felt pain, and that someone caught him off guard. He can tell that the servant that fired at him was an Archer Class Servant, but he didn't know who. Before he could be saying else, more arrows fire at him and acted to roll out of the way. Berserker lugged at him but changed her plan and ran into the forest to find the other servant.

"Tch, so you've come Berserker of Black," Atalanta said as she draws her bow and arrow out, having the arrow covered in green mana and ready to fire at well.

"For your recklessness…you'll pay for it in blood!" Atalanta shouted, before firing her mana covered arrow towards the mad servant.

But before the arrow hit Berserker, another arrow came out nowhere and shoot the other down like it was nothing. This shocked the Servant of Red, on how fast the Archer of Black was and how he can hurt Rider of Red.

"The other Archer…fine then!" Atalanta called out before firing three arrows at the mad servant girl.

The Berserker of Black kept moving forward towards the Servant of Red. The Archer was about to strike, but then it hit her like a bullet, and she understood what was going on.

"I guess this is it," Atalanta commented with a smirk on her face before she jumped out of the way.

Berserker of Black clashed into the tree, having fallen and saw the Red Servant leaving all the sudden. Archer was smart and need to fall back, the servants of Black will come after them after dealing with Berserker of Red, and they need to regroup.

"Berserker of Black, I'm putting our fight on hold for now. Rider, Berserker fall back!" Atalanta called out before disappearing into the shadows.

Achilles heard his ally said but was having a hard time fighting off Archer of Black. The Archer could hurt him and know all his moves. This made him happy that he found a service that could be challenged for him and looked forward in fighting him again, but the next he will see his face. Rider of Red soon called his chariot and used it to make his getaway. The servants of Red had what they need and will report to ally servants.

With Berserker of Red

While with Berserker of Red, he was dodging the spikes that were come out of the ground and used the stone pillars to his edge. He had destroyed a few golems and took a few swings to blocks at Rider. He could guess that Lancer of Black must have a Noble Phantom that is built around his homeland and could command these spikes to impale him but wasn't working and the battle could get more deadly.

The battle was stopped when…

"Rider, Berserker fall back!" A female voice called out, being Archer of Red calling out to her allies to fall back and was a smart move.

Artorias was no coward but was smart and know that he can't fight the whole Black Faction. A few servants, maybe, but all seven, no thanks and time to play smart.

Putting his shield to grip both hands onto the Greatsword, Artorias swung his sword downwards and unleashes a powerful blue flame mana burst onto the ground to spread outwards. Rider of Black had jumped backward to avoid the attack while the other servants were at a safe spot.

Once the fire went down, Berserker of Red was gone and left the area, thanks to mana burst. Not much happening at this second battle of the Great Holy Grail War, but something else was going to happen.

Time Skip

Fate/Apocrypha OST: Savior

We now see our Great Knight wandering around the forest, near the Black Faction and felt something was going to happen which was the reason he stays behind. He double-backed his tracks, making it look like he left with the Archer and Rider of Red. It was working for now and there's no telling how long it will last but should be worth it.

Artorias would also trust this feeling of something going to happen as it had happened a good number of times of his past life. He wanders around the forest until he fought was happening and this got his attention to head towards that area.

The Great Knight's travels came to see Saber of Black having his sword at Rider Black and wondered why infighting was happening. He was going to join in but stopped when he saw the Servant of the Sword disarmed himself and now wonder. He watched the rest play out to see Rider running and caring about a small boy that was close to death, thanks to Saber's master.

The master was upset with his servant to the point he was punched in the gut and knock out by the force.

Artorias had nothing against that as he would do the same but still wonder why and decided to come out of the shadows to make himself know.

"Saber of Black, Berserker of Red," A female voice called out, getting the knights' attention to look at the source of the voice and saw Ruler herself standing before them.

The Great Knight had watched the battle between Saber of Black and Lancer of Red which had Ruler seeing it firsthand and even knows the Servant of the Sword's true name, being Siegfried. A knight like Artorias and two was alike in some way.

"Ruler," Siegfried said.

"Ruler? And why you are here, Berserker?" Rider asked, being puzzled of seeing the knight again.

"I came here as I felt that something was going to happen. It seems a bad one, seeing this poor boy hunt," Artorias answered with his head down at seeing someone hunt when they have no part in this war.

A poor soul gets got in the crossfire and was sad to see.

"I have once again lost sight of my path. He wishes nothing of me, yet I nearly abandoned him. I stop thinking for myself and let others decide for me," Siegfried said in honest with his head down before looking at the boy at near death.

"What on earth happened?" Ruler asked, wanting to know what happens here.

Artorias wonder the same thing and mostly on Siegfried.

"I may be reasonable for any misfortune he encounters…but there's still something I will like to president to him," Siegfried said before doing something that shock the three servants before him.

The Dragon Blood Knight used his right hand, cutting into his gut and reaching for his heart. This was shocking the servants of him doing this.

"No please wait! You must!" Ruler called out, hoping to stop the Saber, but didn't work as it was too late now.

Siegfried grunted in pain as he pulled his own heart out of his chest and slowly walked towards the boy. He took a knee and placed his heart for the boy to take. As the heart merged into the boy, it healed him.

"He sacrifices his life for him," Ruler and Artorias said in a union of such a noble act.

The boy soon started to breathe as he was healing and back from the near-death to the land of the living.

"But what will happen to you?" Rider asked.

"One life is sacrificed to save another. A fair tire, right?" Siegfried replied as he sat down on a rock.

"No, it's not," Rider said.

"Why will do such a thing?" Ruler asked, wondering why the Saber will do this.

"Sir Siegfried why would save that boy even he didn't ask for help?" Artorias asked, wondering the same and was happy for the boy will live, but still why?

Why Siegfried will do this?

Siegfried smiled a little and said, "I wanted to fulfill my own wish instead only allow myself to let others decided for me. Pores it was very self-center of me, but I could not rid myself of this desire. If only once, I wanted to save someone on my own will and take pride in that. Evening no one begs me too. Evening my help was unwanted. This is was something I have been wishing to do for a long time."

This speech had hit the core of Ruler and Rider but Artorias was hit hard the most as remind him of a few events he did the same. One to save the love of his life and the last one to protect his friend. He saved and protected them on his own free will even they didn't want it and fight to the end. The Great Knight did anyway because he can and was a desire he enjoyed to his heart. He understands Siegfried and sees him in a high guard now. Enough to make one promise, one knight to another.

"Ruler, I'm sorry to ask of this of you. But I want you to grant that boy his freedom," Siegfried requested as his body was starting to be cover in blue mana and close on returning back to the Throne of Heroes.

"That is…," Ruler trailed off, not sure about this.

"I beg you," Saber of Back begged with his smile not leaving his face.

Ruler stood quiet for a second, thinking to later made her mind up and said, "I give you my word that I will do all I can."

Artorias then walked towards Siegfried, being in front of him with his sword placed out and vowed, "And I promise Sir Siegfried as well. I, One of the Knights of Lord Gwyn, Knight Artorias, vow to protect that boy and grant him his freedom to the very end. I will do everything in my power to teach him to be a knight if he wishes and finds his reason to live in this world. That's my promise. One knight to another."

Siegfried smiled at this kind vow and was happy to meet the Wolf Knight, an evening for a short awhile, but was still glad and nodded his head of the vow.

"Rider, please tell my master, that I'm sorry and wasn't worthy enough to be his servant to the end," Siegfried said, feeling he was closer on fading away.

"That's not true! It's not! Please don't go! Stay with us!" Rider shouted but was useless as the Saber was fading away and was done.

"I have no regrets…thank you," Siegfried said his last words as he disappeared in blue energy and return to the Throne.

"Fare thee well, Sir Siegfried. I never met a hero quite as kind as you," Ruler said with a smile on her face before turning back to the Great Knight who took a knee and gives the boy something of his own.

Instead his heart, Artorias summoned one of his Noble Phantom, the Cleansing Greatshield. The shield started to glow in gold and blue light, being mana channeling divine power for its new master. The Great Knight placed his shield on the boy's right hand to risk and soon had it transform for the boy. The shield transformed into a silver wolf bracelet with green eyes.

"Why give up one of your Noble Phantoms, Artorias?" Ruler asked, knowing that the knight made his vow to protect the boy and wonder why he will give his shield.

"While I made my vow to protect this boy, but with the Grail War in place, it will need me. So, I shall have my shield to protect him in times of need as a knight doesn't need a sword, but they also need a shield to protect his reason and strengthen it. It might have weakened me, but I'm fine with my choice and have no regrets of what happened," Artorias answered, having his left arm going numb once he was done speaking and it was part of his lore.

During his battle against the chaos, Artorias' left arm was broken when he used the last of his strength to protect his longtime friend. So, if he gives up the shield-like he did in his past then his left arm will be useless for a day or two. He will have to be careful, but he did when fighting the one person that could rival him with one hand wielding his Greatsword.

"Thank you Sir Artorias," Ruler thanked which the knight nodded his head in kind.

The three servants watched the boy healed from his wounds and bare witness the transformation of something new.
