Realization/Zero

One dreamt of a world of peace, but saw only death.

One dreamt of a world of smiles, but saw only tears.

One dreamt of a world's salvation, but did not grasp it.

The one that could not save the world-In the end he could only protect the happiness of a girl.

I knew what I wanted was deplorable in its own right. I forsook salvation when it would cost nothing more than a single life, and yet...

-Well in the end. I chose what I thought was right, but how can I say it was not wrong.

I fought battle after battle. I sustained wounds that would kill a lesser man, I used up more energy in these battles than I ever would have in my life without them.

But I kept fighting, I had no other choice but to fight, nothing else to fight for but her, nothing else I could hold close to my heart for they were all stolen away.

There was no justice in damning the world. The justice I was taught by that man would sooner kill me for trying this. But humans cannot always succeed their dreams. Sometimes they can only make decisions.

When that small girl made her wish to the stars; that's when I made mine.

-I chose to stop being a shell, to start being real.

So I conquered the battles in front of me.

An assassin, filled with bloodlust.

A caster, desiring only to live.

A lancer, with a nasty grin full of pride.

A rider, who cared for nothing in the world.

A berserker, who destroyed all in front of him.

And a Saber, who entrusted something to me.

I prevailed, and became the winner of the Holy Grail War.

And following that strange priest's words I left for her.

It was at the altar underneath Mount Enzo that directly connected to the Holy Grail system of Fuyuki City where I would find her.

My younger sister that Kiritsugu and I adopted into our family years ago. The one that meant to be sacrificed for the sake of humanity. To save the world from its destruction.

"B-Big brother…?"

I smiled, kneeling before the altar. "I'm sorry for making you wait so long…"

"W-Why…" her gaze was full of sorrow and sadness. It made my heart clench and twist in the most painful of ways. Not even a sword could do such a thing. "Why did you come? I… heard it from those people…"

I stayed silent and let her talk.

"Those people told me the reason why you and Kiritsugu-san took me in," Miyu began to choke back on a sob. "It was to use my power… that all I was, was a tool to be used. That in Kiritsugu's place they would find a way to use me… to save the world."

Tears seeped out at the corner of her eyes. The pain from the thought of being used and discarded away like trash hurt her more than anything else. She was afraid. She didn't wish to die. She didn't want to be used as a tool.

"So then why! Why did you come here!?"

Emiya Miyu. That was the girl I saw in front of me. Not what she described. In fact it couldn't be anything else but the opposite.

I closed my eyes as I pulled out the seven class cards, including my own, out of my pocket. A sign that I had defeated the other six participants in the Holy Grail War. Even if this card was fake in a way, it had its uses.

"This goes without saying…" Focusing prana into the cards, they levitated out of my hands in front of me in a circle. "…I'm an older brother," my smile returns. "So I have to protect my younger sister don't I?"

Her face turns into astonishment. I wish I would be able to see more expressions of hers.

"You know," I say tiredly. "I've been trying to figure out what to do. Honestly it's been one mistake after another with me, so… maybe this might be one too." I kneeled back down to take her hand into mine. "Nonetheless for this alone is absolutely true…"

I took a deep breath. There was no going back. But in the end-

"I wish upon the Holy Grail."

"I pray that you find a world where you won't suffer any longer. I pray that you meet kind people. I pray that you find great friends you can laugh with. I pray that you find… a warm, small share of happiness."

-this too...

The runes encircling the altar glowed to life. The Heaven's Feel acknowledged the wish I brought and accepted it fully.

"B…Brother!" Her golden-brown eyes slowly closed. My grip on her hand is released as she floated upwards to the ceiling of the cavern.

That was the end of everything I knew, but it also became the start of something new.

A life as a big brother.

A life in a new world, not heading forward imminent destruction like our own.

-Little did I know. Even happiness has its price sometimes. My Grail War hasn't ended yet it seems. But I won before. Nothing was stopping me from winning again- Nothing. And this time however, I wouldn't need to fight alone, nor would I lose anything.
