Shiro Emiya walked over to Homurabara Gakuen, his old school. he looked upon it and smiled.
"This brings back alot of memories.."
He placed his hand against the school gate. He sended a message to Crystal Blue, Kairos Dranias, Derrich S. sampson and Mirku A. Valkory.
"The war has begon, summon your servants tonight and let the war for the grail begin. Three masters still have to descide their fate, but the four I speak to now, your path to glory has opened. Walk it, survive it and feast upon it's reward. Good luck.."
With that he walked away from the school, with a single thought in his head.
'Saber..I miss you so much..'
-------------------------------------------
Mirku was suprised by the sudden voice in his head. But he realised who it was.
'Tonight I shall summon my servant..my piece on the chessboard.'
He was in English class, Blue-Sensei was teaching. The lesson was boring as always, Mirku was already half-asleep, his eyes half-shut.

(It begins...)

It suprised me when the supervisor of the war apoke, though I had been expecting it any day now. Even as Sasori-Sensei was explaining the expansion of the Japanese empire in the 1940s, I was examining the information with which I had been presented. So, only four of us are ready to summon, the other three are still undecided. I'll have to watch my back more closely than. I waited for the class to end eagerly. The thought of a successful summoning was heartening for me. Just as quickly as the ffeeling came I crushed it, returning to my normal placcid state. Despite the coming test, I paid little attention to the lecture, memorizing what Sasori-Sensei said as I prepared mentally for my attempt to summon a Servant.

Crystal paused for a moment in class. Not now... Tonight? Fine i will do it. After the pause, she looks around the class and spots Mirku half-asleep. "Mirku-san. Wake up! You in my class as a privellage not some other class you can just blow off." now calming down a little bit. "Now say what is on the board and in English please."

(I am guessing that they are taking this as a second language, right?)

(yea)

"[english]The man walked..through the hallway. He saw a small bird along the way[english]" Mirku read it quiet well, he used english in many of his spells, along with some german.
"I hope that satisfies your requirments, Sensei."

Crystal nods. "Well done. Now..." She contiunes the lecture as planned until the bell rung to let everyone out of school. "Mirku-san. Will you stay after class, please?" She looks over at one of the other students. "Eric-san, Please do your homework tonight." Eric nodded back at her then left the classroom.

Mirku was curieus what Blue-Sensei wanted.
"What is it, Sensei?" he asked, picking up his backpack.

After school was let out I went home at my normal pace as if a war wasn't about to break loose. I entered my apartment and sat on the floor in the main room, which was the largest and by that, I meant I had enough room to cram a chair and small table in it.

Better to begin early rather than late... I sat on the floor and began to focus and center myself. This focusing is hard to describe, I relax but at the same time I am extremely tense. I felt my heart rate slow and the room became very still. I began to focus intently on drawing the summoning circle I was using. Unlike most movies or fiction psychic powers are difficult to master and few ever do. In fiction they would have you believe that a psyker can summon within seconds by a mere thought. In reality it would probably take all night and could fail easily.

Also unlike some arcane summonings, I had no need for a blood sacrifice or physical circle, just a focus. In my mind I drew the circle and its runes for the summon. The inner part was a simple circle with four runes. Each was an archiac symbol, alternating between power and binding. The energy assumed this shape and would remain active until used. The drain was significant and there was much more to create before my attempt.

Crystal sit behind her desk. "Your a very bright student. Your work is good and you help others in class when then need it. I just seem to think that you aren't paying any atteition to the class because you know all of words i am putting up. So i just want to know a few things. First, did you learn some English from somewhere else? Second, because you seem to be very adpet to the English language would you be conisdering a higher class level?"

"I'd like to stay with this class Blue-Sensei, and I will pay more attention."
He bowed before his teacher in apology. "Can I leave now? I have something planned for tonight."

She nodded at first pulling out her bag then realized and looked up. "Wait, You didn't answer my first question, Mirku-san."

He smiled at her. "I like to read english literature, Bye Sensei."
He walked out of the classroom and headed home.

(Derrich needs to post soon)

Before she could ask another question, he gone. "Well, Bye then Mirku-san" more to herself then to Mirku himself. She got up and locked her classroom after her. Next time afterclass, i want to ask him what literature he reads.

She was in no hurry to get home. She really didn't want to summon Signon tonight but it was time and she must.

" I can't believe it.... " Looking down at his pocket watch. School was just let out and he had no one was in sight. with a deep breath he pushed forward wandering down the halls. "I cant go back home, Its not like any body will be there anyway....". He scratched the back of his neck in attempt to think of something to do.

And to think...It begins tomorrow, It will certainly make things interesting. Turning back to see if he was followed and then tilted his head and closed his eyes.

"I gotta stop talking to myself....." tilting his head down at the ground in shame, a huge sigh released from his lips.

His stomach growled and it echoed in the empty halls.

"I guess I should at least go home and eat."

( Sorry for the late entry, My internet was down last night and this morning, I didn't see this thread until just now. )

Finally, the psychic circle was completed. I had been working on it the whole afternoon. Within my mind's eye I could see the runes and lines of power, held in balance. The completed circle was self-sustaining, at least until I summoned my Servant, then the power would be drained and absorbed by her. At least that was the plan... Small doubts tried to enter my mind and for a second I nearly panicked, then I forced myself to a calm state, agitation would only ruin my concentration and disrupt my efforts. Sweat beads ran down my face as I withdrew from the main room and retrieved the focus which was a small ruby, intricately crafted in the appearance of a lovely woman.

Determined to get this right I worked on my mental discipline, doubling numbers until twenty-ith double. Besides focusing my attention, it also helped my nerves. With no doubt and firm resolution I placed the catalyst/focus in the center of the summonning circle and stepped out of it.

I quietly spoke the words of summoning and also called with my mind to the spirit I wished to be my Servant.
