Another Servant was summoned into Chaldea. This time, a blond goddess finally showed up on the facility, after much, much waiting. Ritsuka and Mash were rejoiced to see Ereshkigal, but one certain Servant was even more.
Dashing through Chaldea, one particular Servant appeared at the hallway of the Summoning Room in battle armor, having ran there at full speed the moment she knew of the arrival. Stopping by the newcomer before it could leave the hallway, Arthuria knelt before her and said, Charisma fully showing.
"Welcome to Chaldea, Ereshkigal. Would you perhaps like your Saber to escort you once more?"
A shining example of chivalry, enough to make anyone slightly interested in Arthuria fall head over heels for her.
"My apologies, but, who are you?"
Ereshkigal's words drove a spear through Saber's heart.
"What? It's... I'm Arthuria Pendragon! Saber-Class Servant! I was your Serva- Well, your host's Servant for some time during a Holy Grail War! You don't have memories of that?" Arthuria got up and asked, a bit confused.
Ereshkigal was, if anything, even more confused than Arthuria, as Ritsuka and Mash awkwardly saw the situation unfold in front of them. "My host does carry memories from a Holy Grail War, but I had a Celtic Lancer. Cu Chulainn, or something." She explained. "I-I'm sorry, I really have no idea who you are."
Arthuria fell to the ground again, feeling shame and despair fall over her. Emiya then arrived, having ran after Arthuria when she took off, with Enkidu, Wise King and Ishtar also having came along when they heard of who was the newcomer.
"Oh! Nameless! Enkidu! It's so good to see you two here! I suppose you're nice too Gil." Eresh said, somewhat ignoring both the king in front of her and her sister. "This place seems to be so amazing! Just the snow I saw through the windows is so beautiful! Do you all ever get bored in here?"
Conversation bloomed happily between a Goddess seeing old friends again, as Ishtar gently floated to Arthuria's side, who was already being comforted by Ritsuka and Mash.
"Come on now Arthuria. Are you REALLY gonna get down due to rejection when you have someone as perfect as ME loving you?" The Archer said, filled with her usual cockyness.
Looking at her beloved, the King immediately reacted by pulling her closer on a hug and seeking comfort on her chest.
"A-ARTHURIA!"
Author Notes: Happy Babylon release everyone! I love Eresh, but was her boss fight's gimmick annoying. Ishtar was way nicer than I expected, so that's cool too.
