Bond Level: Arash(STELLA!!)
also requested by anon numbah 12!
(A/N: Another long one. Also, do people still use that nickname for him? o.o)
Level 1: "Uwah...To think I'd be someone's servant again...But you seem like a good kid. I think I could get used to having you as a Master!" -glances off to the side- "By the way Master...Do you perhaps have any Chickpea paste? It's super tasty and I told myself if I was ever summoned again, I'd have some."
Level 3: -Arash is a really nice guy to be around and a good addition to your growing list of servants. He likes to make you smile and is often telling jokes and such. He might even sing a bit if you're feeling a bit down. Though he, like many other servants, has a serious side. You first experienced that part of him when you asked him about his Noble Phantasm.- "My noble phantasm is...well. It'll do a lot of damage but that comes at a cost. Me. I will perish if I use it, so instruct me wisely ok?" -is what he said-
Level 5: "Master...I know I told you to instruct me wisely but...Why didn't you have me release it? My best shot. If I had done that you wouldn't have ended up as injured as you are. It would have wiped out all our enemies and-! What? You don't want me to ever have to use it? Well...I know that I'll perish but you could just summon me again, right? Although I might not have memory of you...Still, if it came down to it, I'd rather use that and prevent you from being injured like this." -you start to cry at the thought of losing Arash- "?! Ah! I'm sorry! Please don't cry!" -he hugs you tight- "I won't use it! I won't use it, I said!!"
Level 7: -Arash keeps his word and doesn't use his Noble Phantasm, much to your relief. Like usual he's always at your side, cracking a joke or just giving you a shoulder to lean on. You've even taken to improving your non-existent archery skills with him whenever you have time. After a long day or shooting arrows and who knows what else, you both like to hang out in your room and eat some snacks. Arash tends to smear his chickpea paste on everything but after giving it a try, it doesn't taste too bad. It's probably a good thing you tried it too because at some point you always hear footsteps of servants that are on the hunt for a quick snack coming towards your bedroom door-
Level 10: "Sorry, Master. I know I said I wouldn't use this but...There's no other way." -he watches your other servants take you(who is kicking and screaming mind you) to a safe place before facing the horde of enemies- "Sorry but I won't allow you to harm my Master anymore. If there is anyone worthy of me using this for, it's them." -you scream at him to stop, but it falls on deaf ears-
"O holy Lord. O radiant Lord who grants wisdom, majesty and strength.
My heart, my thoughts, and all that I can see.
Come, servants of the moon and the stars. My actions, my last moments, my sacred devotion; witness it all.
With all my might, I shall release this one arrow--and let my body be crushed upon this place! STELLA!!"
Also Level 10: -the days that follow are like a blur. All you feel is sadness for the one you couldn't bring home. But even with all that sadness, you never shed a tear. Sometimes you get angry, thinking 'He promised!' and such but then you remember the look on his face. He didn't want to use it either but all he wanted was for you to be safe. For his loved one to be safe. After a couple of weeks, you decide that you should at least try and summon him again. He may not remember all the times you spent together but at least you could make new memories. With that thought in mind, you go to the summoning room and try it. And out pops Arash. You both stare at each other in silence for a long while until he walks over a gives you the tightest hug you'd ever had- "Please don't be mad." -Is what he whispers, voice shaking with emotion, and it's then that you realize this is YOUR Arash. YOUR Archer. He came back to you. And whatever words you could or would have said die in your throat as you cling to him and cry for the first time since he left. He's HOME-
