Fate Stay Night - Medea Caster route

Chapter 1

Once again she was alone.

After killing her Master she teleported away from the burning laboratory, her already low reserve of mana now was almost empty and she knew that she didn't have much time left... soon she would die.

She knew this sensation a bit too well: Hopelessness.

The woman started to laugh weakly as she walked, she laughed because she realized that no matter what she did her fate would always be the same, that was her destiny, that was the destiny of the Witch Of Betrayal. But then at one point that laugh turned into a desperate lament.

"Why it must always end like this?" She asked herself. "What have I done to deserve any of this!? I-I only wanted to live in peace, why did th-"

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a strong thunder, after a moment she looked up into the sky and felt the rain falling on her face.

Only at that moment she realized that her robes were cold and heavy, she was soaked. When did it start to rain?

How much time did she spend wandering in this forest? Minutes? Hours? She didn't know and she didn't care, it was too late for her anyway. Right in that moment of distraction as she walked she slipped on the slippery ground and she fell on the wet and cold terrain.

After a moment she was watching the cloudy sky, she didn't know if some drops of the rain fell into her eyes or if she was crying, the only thing that had her attention at that moment was a little star that she could see between the clouds in that dark sky.

'This is the end, isn't it?' She thought. 'This is the fate of a witch, this is what I deserve for all the horrible things that I've do-'

*crack*

Once again her thought had been interrupted, but this time it had been the sound of a branch break to interrupt it. She slowly turned her head toward the place where she heard the sound and saw someone watching her... at that moment she felt something like relief, at least she wouldn't be let to die alone again. Even if she wanted to ask for help she didn't have enough forces to do it, the only thing she could do at that moment was to stay awake.

After a second she saw the person she was watching sprinting incredibly fast towards her. She couldn't see very well because her sight was foggy, but once his person had gotten closer she noted that this person had red hairs.

"Don't worry, I'm here." The person immediately said.

As Caster realized that the person who had just spoken was a male she felt her body getting lifted.

'He is running.' She then thought. He was carrying her somewhere, but before she could think anything else she fainted.

That day Emiya Shirou was returning home from the Ryuudou temple after doing an errand for Issei at the temple, while he and the rest of the monk were on a pilgrimage. While he was returning home it started to rain, and he asked himself why he didn't bring an umbrella with him, but luckily no one would scold him when he would return home.
