Rhan found himself in front of the old house he used to live at with his parents. He went to the door and knocked but no seemed to be around. It appears that the door was actually open so he went inside.

He realized he is having this same dream again he kept dreaming of every so often since his eighteenth birthday.

The house was clean as it was when they still lived at it. He went to living room and saw his dad sitting on the long couch. He went to sit by the side of his dad and said "Hey old man.". He calls him that and it's fine since they we're close.

His dad did not look at him. He was serious and started speaking "Rhan, you see these cards on the table? There are seven of them. The seven servant classes of the Holy Grail War. You know them right? If you read the book I gave you, I bet you know them.".

Rhan nodded in approval and said "I do dad. I know them. Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Assasin, Berserker and Caster.".

"Yes they are. I know you sometimes pretend to be a tactician. Tell me, what's the best way to win the Holy Grail War?" his dad asked.

Rhan thought a bit and answered "Servants are pretty powerful, If I am a Master, I am no match to any of the servant. The easiest way to eliminate a servant is to attack them where they are vulnerable. And with that I meant is to kill their Master." he confidently answered.

"Very well. But did you know, it's not on the rules of the Holy Grail war that you have to kill the Masters. You can win without killing the Masters. Besides, if a Master gets killed, the servant is left and will be summoned by another master." his dad said.

"The Holy Grail will not materialize yet when the war starts. It materializes as the war ends. The ones you have to kill are the Servants. So that their prana will return to the Grail and help it materialize. Once all other servants are dead, except yours, the Holy Grail will fully materialize because the prana of six servants is enough." he said.

"Then I can get the Holy Grail after that. And I can wish for anything?"

"Yes son, anything."

Rhan knew its a dream. He's been having this dream since. And now he learned that everything his dad told him was real.

His dream started to disappear. The house seemed to be surreal. He then found himself on a dark chaos. Just him.

He felt something on his face. Something soft has been poking his face. He openned his eyes to see Archer bent over him, their face at the same elevation, and she is poking his cheeks, nose and forehead.

Rhan noticed the strands of his hair blocking his eyes. "And so why is my hair blocking my view? You messed with my hair?".

Then he resumed "Well, my dream was rather visionary. It made some things clear to me. Look, I badly want to work out with a tactic as soon as we tap down."

He wasn't finished with what he's saying when they heard the page "This is the pilot of the plane. Lord Rhan, Ms. Lynths, please settle down and strap the seatbelts. Thank you."

Archer looked at Rhan, confused. Rhan got it instantly and said "What? Lynths is a cute codename! I don't want to expose your identity."

Five minutes later the plane tapped down smoothly. They cabin door openned and they made their way to the stairs. Pretty strange though they found their private plane sorrounded by black cadilacs and men in black with black shades. Two big men were waiting for them at the bottom of the steps.

They went down and the men began questioning them.

It was an ordinary day, a day like no other. Illiah Ysabela Crestfallen is hanging out at the playground. None of the other kids want to play with her. She's kinda used to it but she recently felt like she needed, wanted rather, a friend.

Illiah was on a swing. She was holding a book with a flower with five petals stigmata on the cover. She found on the road while she was on her way to school.

She decided to finally open it and read a few. "The Holy Grail war is competition over the ownership of the Holy Grail ... can grant any wish ... will fight alongside a servant ... defeat other masters ... blah blah." she read. Illiah is rather bright and loved books. She read quite famous novels. Pretty amazing for a girl aged fourteen.

While she was reading the book she heard a faint noise beside her. Another kid maybe, swinging. She took a second away from reading and looked beside her. She found a pretty lady staring at her. She felt afraid, a bit. But she's pretty courteous and instead said "Excuse me miss. Is something wrong?".

The lady stood up still not taking his eyes off of Illiah. For a moment they were in awkward silence.

Rhan can't help but to show frustration. They just went off the plane and he's feeling sick. These men in black are persistent. Archer tried to reason out but they don't seem to buy it. He then heard Archer telling the guys they are married. Its fine with him but he hoped its fine with her too.

To his surprise he felt Archer's hands on his cheeks and turned his face to her. He was dazzled by Archer's pretty face. He noticed Archer whispered something but he did not hear it clearly. His heartbeat was faster and it seemed to make everything around him in slow motion. Her cherry red lips slowly gets close to his, pouted. Archer closed her eyes and her long eyelashes complimented her pretty face.

Their lips met and the world seemed to stop. The kiss was rather heart felt. He can't lie about it, he's having this feeling for Archer. He closed his eyes and reminisced that moment he summon Archer. The smoke slowly clears and this pretty lady appeared standing before him.

Her lips were soft and sweet. She's not much of a good kisser though. Rhan wondered if she have kissed anyone else before.

Suddenly she pulled back. Rhan wanted to pursue her lips but something held him back. He almost forgot the men in black right in front of them. The men seemed pretty conviced with a slight expression of envy. He smiled at them.

From the cabin the pilot went down the stairs. He appeared to be not just a pilot. He's a butler. He then said aloud "Mr. and Mrs. Burnheart, what seems to be the problem? Who are these men?".

The men in black looked at the pilot then to each other. One of them then said "Sorry for the inconvinience Mr. and Mrs. Burnheart. It appears she just happened to be somewhat look alike the girl we've been looking for. Besides, if she was being kidnapped she wouldn't cover you for doing so. Again we're sorry. Have a nice day.". The guys then dismissed the party.

Rhan turned to Archer, speechless.

Illiah looked at girl standing in front of her. She's young and maybe they are of the same age. Illiah felt good seeing her. Illiah smiled and greeted "Hello there. I am Illiah Ysabela Crestfallen. What is your name?".

Illiah smiled as good as she can and added "Do you want to be my friend? You wanna play with me?"

Feeling awkward for he can still feel his lips endulged by the recent kiss he said "Oh. I understand why you did that. I was just shocked. I was caught off guard. But nevermind that, I enjoy being abused." he then laughed.

"Let's do that again sometime." he told Archer. He then grabbed her hand and held it. Archer seemed to be shocked. Rhan told her "I am sure those guys will leave us alone now. But just to be sure, let us take this act to the fullest while we're at it." he seemed serious when he said these. But there's no hiding because his blush is just so visible.
