Karna, Son of the Sun Deity
Karna gazed down at the Sun Stone, and took it from Hatsumi's hand to observe it closer. "Unless you are skilled within the Gem Magics, such an object is irrelevant. Unless, you know how to harness the power of an object instead?" Karna asked her, handing her back the Sun Stone. It was not something that belonged to him, but being imbued with Solar Energies, it had become a relic worthy of summoning him with. "Then again, if you feel attached to this object, I hold no objections to you keeping it. It does not belong to me." he stated to her, pointing to her hand, indicating the Command Seals. "Those, however, you must be sure not to lose. Those are your proof of Mastership in this Grail War." he explained to her, feeling as a Servant it was his duty to ensure his Master knew at least the basics.

Hatsumi Keinichi
Hatsumi shook her head in response to Karna as he questioned her knowledge of the stone. She would place the Sun Stone in the pocket of her sweater before examining her hand when Karna pointed out the red command seal that now stained her skin.
"Command Seals...interesting." She breathed, raising her hand and holding it close to her face to observe the fine detail. When she lowered her hand back to her side, Hatsumi approached the windowsill again to take a seat on the cushion. The moment was a bit awkward at the moment, in her opinion. Here she was face to face with a man, or Servant, she had never met after summoning him thanks to a chant and command seals.
The girl pushed her glasses up once again and scanned the study briefly until motioning her hand towards a chair near her desk. "Ah, please, have a seat. Make yourself comfortable." She told Karna. All of this was odd to Hatsumi. Never did she really have any or anyone to talk with. She seemed to avoid people and shelter herself from others. "So...Lancer, if we win this Holy Grail War, what happens?" She asked him, folding one leg over the other casually while studying the Servant.

Layfon Alseif and Saber Layfon and Saber were walking into the big city and Saber was getting more disgusted and Layfon had to know, "Uh, Sarah, what is with the face?" Saber then explained, "It's this city, it ruins the beauty that nature hold. Wait, what did you call me?" Layfon wanted to think of something better, but told her so no one heard him, "Well, out here in the public people don't know that this war is going on, so i though calling you Sarah might make it easier for us." Saber then chuckled being happy and proud responded so a few people heard her, "Great job for the quick thinking, and the name has some great beauty to it doesn't it." Layfon panicked and cover her mouth with a few people watching, "Shh, we don't want to much attention." but saber then said, "Well, they shouldn't pay so much attention." People kept going as well as both Layfon and Saber, but Saber noticed her master finally smile and thought to herself, "My first glimpse of his smile, now that is true beauty."Hada Iriko Hada, was finishing up his elixer for the vials he has, but then wounder who was Rider in the past so we went to the living room and then asked, "So Rider, is it ok you can tell me who you were in the past? if you don't want to then its fine, i don't want to force you into doing anything." Wondering who Rider was, he just felt he needed to know, if it would be later, then he won't rush it, for his sake and the feelings of his Servant.

Rider
Gustavus Adolphus, The Lion of The North
Rider materialized on the sofa he had been sitting upon and glanced to his Master, having heard his request. "Need you truly ask? As I recall, you're the one who had called me with an artifact of my origin. Surely you know the history of the very Servant you've summoned?" Rider asked, standing as he sighed after asking. Whatever his Master's reasoning was, he had summoned Rider without key knowledge of the Grail War, or even who he had called in the first place. Scratching his brow, Rider began to explain. "I am the Lion of the North, Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden now laid to Rest. This world remembers me as a Great General, one of the Greatest in History." he explained, though he wasn't even certain if his Master would know who he was even by that. Would he also have to explain his deeds? What a pain this would be. Never the less, he had a chance to make his wish a reality, and that was worth any cost.
Lancer
Karna, Son of the Sun Deity
Karna glanced to the chair that Hatsumi had indicated, and at her behest, sat upon it. Hearing her question, he tilted his head slightly. "In what regard do you mean? Do you mean to you, me, or the City we are presently inhabiting?" he asked, as "What would happen at the end" was a much too broad question to answer. And even if they were the victors, Karna was not certain of the end result of a Granted Wish. All he could say was that the wish would be granted in some form or another. Speculations were left to the wind, for he had no desire for them.

Hatsumi Keinichi
The soft glow that radiated off one of the candles in Hatsumi's study reflected against the lenses of her glasses while staring at Karna. She thought about the question the Servant had given her, lowering her eyes to the wooden floor for a moment while lost in her thoughts.
"...Well, everything." She responded, tilting her head in return to Karna. The girl still was unsure of what exactly her wish was. Though, she was certain she wanted to know more about this Holy Grail War along with Karna.

Karna, Son of the Sun Deity
Karna pondered for a second. "At the end of the War, the Servant and Master are granted their wish. Whatever that wish may be, you only need ask it and it is granted. And usually, a Servant vanishes afterwards, fading back into the dust of time, where we belong." he explained. There wasn't much else to it than that. After all, that was the END of the Grail War. "Now that that has been covered, is there anything else you would like to ask? Or shall we get started?" he queried Hatsumi.

Hada Iriko Hada was surprised that Rider just told him his name so suddenly, "Wow, i heard about you, but i never got a chance to know your history. Also, the artifact i got to summon you was given to me by a unknown man wearing a dark-blue cloak. Right before i asked him his name, he just vanished without a trace." Even if this might make Rider angry at him again, he had to tell him how he got his artifact and tell him about the lack of knowledge of his history.

Rider
Gustavus Adolphus, The Lion of The North
Rider's eyebrow raised lightly with curiosity. "He merely handed it to you without cause?" he asked Hada, placing his hand upon his chin in thought. "Then this does not bode well." he muttered, moving to the other end of the room, his thoughts collecting in his brain. "Whoever obtained the artifact wanted you in this war in the first place. No one would just distribute something so precious, unless they had a goal or reason." he remarked, turning to Hada, a grim expression on his face. After all, this was the Holy Grail they were talking about. An Omnipotent Wish Granting Device. There was no chance someone would hand over an item to summon a Servant with unless they wanted something to happen to the Master. And it seemed Someone had something they planned to do with Hada and himself. An unnerving prospect.
Rai Arisawa
Master of Berserker
Having completed the Summoning Circle by using the former owners blood to draw it, Rai placed the Catalyst into the center of the circle: A rather hefty Gladius, a short sword well known to the Romans gladiatorial culture. Though this one was a little bigger than what he expected. He personally required both arms to even lift the thing, and it was definitely larger than the standard Gladius he'd seen in books. "And now... all that's left is the summoning..." he muttered, glancing at the Summoning Circle. It still somewhat crippled his mind that he had killed someone. And now he'd used their blood for his own ends... Should he really be doing this? 'No... I can't question myself... Not now.' he thought, opening the book he'd brought in the same wrapping as the Sword. Extending his hand, he began reciting the Chant that the book indicated...
" Silver and iron to the origin. Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone. The ancestor is my great master Schweinorg.
The alighted wind becomes a wall. The gates in the four directions close, coming from the crown, the three-forked road that leads to the kingdom circulate.
Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill).
Repeat every five times.
Simply, shatter once filled.
――――I announce.
Your self is under me, my fate(doom) is in your sword.
In accordance with the resort of the Holy Grail, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer.
Here is my oath. I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the dead, I am the one who lays out all the evil of the world of the dead.
You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance ―――！"
With that, the circle glowed. Blinding light filled the room, and the power blasted Rai off his feet. As the light faded, a mist enveloped the area as the Summoning was completed. Glancing up, Rai's eyes widened as he saw the Servant he summoned. The man was massive and hulking, Standing to even the ceiling. His Skin was an unnatural color of Steel Blue-ish, and he had even seemed to take up the Gladius that was used for his Summons. The Servant said nothing, it's eyes gazing down upon him. Even his gaze seemed to be weightening, as Rai felt unable to move. "Are.... Are you my Servant?" Rai asked. He was answered by a low growl from the massive man who stood before him, as if to confirm his question. Finally finding the strength to stand, Rai looked over his Servant. The man was easily taller than him, and 3 times as wide. His Muscles bulged from his arms, chest, and legs, showing that he was indeed incredibly powerful, if only in this, in just sheer form. "I... I did it. I did it!" he said, almost shouting in joy, a smirk coming across his face. "Now I have a chance... I wonder if That Matou guy would be pleased..." he said, wondering. After all, it was Old Man Matou who had given Rai his Artifact. Passing the thought aside, he turned back to his Hulking Servant. "Alright then, Servant. Let's go." he said, turning to leave the apartment. His Servant faded into light blue particles and followed.

Hada Iriko Hada was in shock to hear the information Rider gathered, "Oh man, what do i do?" But before Rider can answer, a man appeared out of nowhere wearing a Dark-blue cloak and said calmly, "I see you summoned Gustavus. I'm glade that the training your parents gave you was as great as i hoped it will be." the man then smiled during his talk to Hada, but hada was confused and said, "Uh, who are you good sir and why did you bring me such an artifact?" Hada wondered why and knew thar Rider was as confused as he is right now. The man then said in a calm tone to assure them of his reason, "Your parent came to the Library to find out what the symbols on your hand was, when the council heard it started up, they sent me to give you an artifact to assist you as well as the circle and the words to say when summoning a servant." He saw the surprised face that Hada has but noticed a irritated face from Gustavus though.

Rider
Gustavus Adolphus, The Lion of The North
Within a second of the man's last word in his reason, the tip of Gustavus' blade was directly beneath the Magus' chin. "Am I truly to believe this farce of an excuse?" he questioned, restraining himself for his Master's sake. But his sword remained at the man's throat. "Regardless, all onlookers of the War who are not of the War must be silenced. You are no exception." he declared. But his weapon did not move. He did not plunge it into the man's neck. He knew, as a Servant, he was to follow his Master's instructions. So he waited. Against his better judgement, he waited for the word of his Master.

Hada Iriko Hada saw that Rider wanted to kill the man but had to stop him, "Wait Rider, let's hear him out. But please tell me the actual reason sir, i know from my parents that they won't put themselves to be known unless there was more to it." The man smiled and responded to his curiosity, "Good young man, you noticed. Yes, there is two things they wanted to ask you to do once you have been used to the war or close to finishing it and still surviving. One was that you go after a man named Zouken, the reason isn't completely there yet, but he used many people in his lifetime for his own wicked plans, the other was that they want to ask you to wish that this war never happened." But this shocked Hada more due to the fact of the reasons are almost impossible, but to give him the plans only is dangerous, "Why me and not tell the other masters?" The man answered, "I was supposed to tell you later, but there is a master we know about being used right now from Zouken for a wish we don't know about. But we do know he will sacrifice many lives for it, no matter what. But i must be going now, i have to report back on what i have done." Right when the man disappeared, Hada was in shock that they choose him to do something so important and not knowing the other reasons to go after the man name Zouken.

Rider
Gustavus Adolphus, The Lion of The North
Rider lowered his sword to allow the man to speak, as his Master had instructed. Hearing that the man had blatantly lied to them seethed Gustavus' anger, but his sword remained at his side. At least, till the man declared he would take his leave. Having heard their demands, and the man's words, his sword lashed out to strike the man, only to pass through air, cutting a nearby lamp in half with ease. Watching as a small sliver of blue robe floated down to the floor, Gustavus growled, angrily returning his sword to it's sheath on his back. "Damned Magus! The mere thought they'd demand a wish of us is unforgivable!" he roared, reducing his voice through his angered pants, before turning to Hada. "And what is your decision in this, Master? Will you bend to their will, or will you fight for yourself?" he asked calmly, though his eyes betrayed his voice. He was still enraged, and his Master's response would decide which way Gustavus reacted.

Hada Iriko Hada stood up from the couch and started to punch the wall (cap words are punching wall), "Those BASTERDS, they think they could use you, and ME. There is no way in hell i will make a wish like that for their MISTAKES. But that man they mentioned we have to take out, but that wish is CRAP. I think i now know my wish, it is to make sure all wishes that are purely good and from the heart comes true no matter WHAT." During that last punch, he used his water magic to blow a hole through the wall, and even if it didn't hit any electric wiring, the hole was 2 feet all around. Then he said in a calm tone, "It might not be the best wish, but its at least a wish i can call my own." hoping that his answer to Riders Question is, he was proud of his choice and will not back down from it.

Rider watched as his master Also lost his temper about the man who had appeared. His eyes widened a bit, somewhat surprised at Hada's outburst. But as he calmed, Rider's eyes relaxed, and a smile crossed his face. "Very well. In truth, this was the answer I had hoped from you, Master. For the wish of another should not be imposed upon one who has their own wish." he stated, kneeling. "And it is that resolve, Master, that I respect. Though I thought you incompetent, it seems I was wrong. True, you are untempered, as a Sword fresh from the Forge, but you are still sharp nonetheless." he declared, standing. This was a battle that could only be waged by those that knew what they had to do in order to win. "Now then, let us be off! I desire to view this age I have been summoned. And it seems the rains have ceased for the present time!" he said, heading for the front door. It was time they went to get a potential look at the enemies that had been summoned, if any dared show themselves.

Hada Iriko Hada smiled and said in a happy tone, "Sure thing Rider, but if you don't want to be in your ethereal form, you can wear my father's jacket so you don't miss anything, oh and I'll have to call you by a name other then Rider, just in case any of our enemies figure us out." He then wen't to the closet and grabbed two jackets, one for himself and one for Rider. When he gave Rider the Jacket, "Is there any names you would like to be called by?" Wanting to make sure so he doesn't disrespect him and his honor.
