          THIN DIGITS dance on a tabletop, tapping an arrhythmic melody as his chin rests in his idle hand. a looong sigh drags itself between his fingers, pupils darting from one edge of the room to another, backtracking to a solitary figure across the room. his approach is swift, but not urgent; before he could be singled out as irregular, he had already casually seated himself across from the other.

「sorry if i’m intruding– i just couldn’t help but ( notice ) you looked a little lonely! how about a round of cards to relieve some boredom? we could even put some ssr on the line, to spice things up〜」

Karna had decided to relax at a local tea lounge within a district within the city dedicated to leisure and entertainment. The interior and decor were quite homely and welcoming, and the tea itself something to commend.

This particular evening would have been spent in solitude, much like his other brief outings, if not for a voice that snapped him out of his stupor. The origin of said voice was a young man who, for a brief second, brought about the image of a fox. Not out of devious cunning, mind you, but rather the inherent curiosity a fox has for its surroundings. One that challenges a stranger to a simple game of cards for money. Karna was quite sure that the gods had saw fit to throw yet another cruel joke his way it seems, another reminder of the man he knew, who saw fit to throw his life and possessions away out of sheer boredom, and Karna’s own part in his brief downfall. It would be an understatement to say that the idea of gambling left a bad taste in both their mouths, even in undeath.

Nonetheless, who was he to deny such curiosity?

“Very well, young man. I can’t say I am skilled at card games, but I shall gladly partake if you are to teach me a game of your choice.”

And another old face emerges from the woodwork. A mishmash of previous Grail Wars, it seems that this was turning into. 

“I was wondering if we would ever meet again face to face, Saber.”

[kavachas-blog]

Karna could feel Alluka’s hand grasp tightly at his own at hearing this strange man’s words, or A.I., to be more specific. This was clearly taking a toll on her, and he did not blame her in the slightest. She is most likely wondering if her brother is one of those many souls currently trapped within the planet, and Karna too, found himself wondering of that woman that he knew long ago...in another War.

So humanity is not completely destroyed....not yet at least. In that case, he need only do what he was summoned to, and act as the Hero that will give his all to help the Humanity that he was born from, as will the rest of his Servant compatriots, he assumed.

He looked down at Alluka, and squeezed back, in order to reassure her that there will be hope.

“So Master, what do you think is the best way to help all those people?”

@kavachas

What a strange group of people she’d found in this city; while huntresses were able to dress in whatever fashion they deemed appropriate, the variety paled in comparison to this place. While she wasn’t used to watching people, it was interesting to guess what their role was. Sunglasses would totally hide the fact she was staring at people right?

Given the fact the guy she’d been studying seemed to have noticed, she guessed not. She’d smile shamelessly - with all the talk of a war, it was fair enough to size up potential competition.

“You’re either really avant-garde, or you’re not worried about people looking at you. Ever wonder if you went a little overboard?”

[kavachas-blog]

Karna took one look at his own attire and shrugged.

“It is of little consequence. This armor serves as decent protection...and I could not remove it without difficulty anyways.”

To Karna, this blonde young woman did not seem anything extraordinary, save for the large gauntlets that adorned her arms. Those in particular caught Karna’s interest.

“If we are talking avant-garde, perhaps attention should also be drawn to your choice of handwear, young lady. Are you a Servant, perchance?”

Prelude III [The war]

Hours had passed since the chosen few had been called upon. Even more flew by after their arrival. Perhaps some felt anxious at the wait. Others would likely feel irritated and impatient. However, their patience would inevitably be rewarded. The sound of static fills their ears, not unlike that of a television. And as the static begins to clear, a familiar voice could be heard, speaking to them all in unison.

There are parts of this new existence that are altogether easier, scaling buildings and being able to set up his equipment as a mere act of will is one of them.

He had set up his rifle and scope with the intents of looking for a specific man in the industrial district, but instead finds his eyes draw to a rather out of place pair.

[kavachas-blog]

Karna and Alluka were making their rounds, buying the week’s supply of groceries. It was not exactly a glamorous undertaking worthy of legend, but it was living, and that is the one thing that is important above all else. They had eventually took a detour through the industrial district in order to get home quicker.

Alluka was busy poring over what they have bought, no doubt her mind was firmly fixated on what will be on the menu for tonight’s dinner. Karna smiled, he supposed this has given him a newfound appreciation for the culinary arts.

This train of thought was interrupted by a singular loud bang crackling through the air. A gunshot. The sound of it made the passerby shriek in terror and run for cover, while Alluka herself yelped and hid underneath Karna’s cloak. Karna focused on the sound of the gunshot and pinpointed the direction from which it originated. He did not see the gunman anywhere upon the buildingtops, but he indeed felt their presence. Another Servant, by the feeling of this mana.

He leaped directly towards the building in which the signature can be felt, and briefly summoned wings of fire to keep himself balanced. As he landed upon the rooftop, he saw him, a man with a large firearm, comparable to a cannon in size. A type of “sniper rifle”, as modern marksman are to wield. The man himself was unassuming in attire, with a haggard face with a hint of stubble. What stuck out to him was his eyes. Karna’s thoughts betrayed him and thought them comparable to a man who is too aware of death for comfort. Nonetheless, for some reason, he felt no animosity from them either. Curious.

“I suppose there was a reason that you chose to specifically fire at me and my Master. Dare I take this as a declaration of hostility? Or was the shot meant for another target?”

Karna did not specifically state these words to instigate conflict. He simply wished to clarify what the situation was to make sure that it was something that had no need to escalate.

That’s a bit of a hard one. The first thing that comes to mind is this one I guess? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TazywZDuj9I

★ Did you have a mentor or an idol you looked up while training to become a great warrior?

“Well, the one who has taught me all of the combat skills I know now was my teacher, the sage Parashurama. Albeit....our relationship was not exactly amicable in the end, but I still hold much gratitude for him. But my true icon that I aspire to stand as equals with would be my father, Surya. That is the reason I fight.”

Do you believe in revenge? Exacting it on others? Others coming for you?

“I can’t say that I would be one to desire vengeance against anyone. I will admit that I do feel animosity and anger as people are won’t to do, but none of that is directed towards others. However, if a person wishes to take my life due to actions that I have caused, I would happily allow them to do so, if it would quell their hatred.”

“Best victory....I wonder. Can one consider themselves the victor only if they win the struggle? If one achieves their own desired outcome, would that not mean they have ‘won’ in their own personal way? If that were the case, I feel that any battle in which me and an opponent fought with all our hearts is a victory for me.”

“My worst defeat...did not come from battle. It came from my own inability to stop the one I cared for the most from losing himself in his own power and hubris. That in turn led to the suffering of more people that did not deserve it.”
