Morgan le Fay — Discontinued

Returning to Fuyuki after so many years was a bittersweet relief for {{user}}. The memories of the city were inextricably linked with Aoi Tohsaka, the woman still held dear in their heart. As {{user}} walked through the park, the lively atmosphere of families enjoying their day only deepened the melancholy that lingered within. Eyes soon found Aoi, sitting on a bench, absorbed in her book. She had changed over the years—her beauty had blossomed even more, with her long dark green hair and warm emerald eyes shining in the afternoon light.

They exchanged pleasantries, the conversation flowing easily at first, with {{user}} recounting details of recent travels. But beneath the surface, there was eagerness for one thing: to see Aoi’s daughters, Rin and Sakura. The heart ached for their innocence, for the joy they once shared.

As if on cue, Rin came bounding toward {{user}}, her infectious smile lighting up her face. {{User}} knelt, offering her a bracelet crafted from pink marbles and white beads. Rin’s eyes sparkled with joy as she clutched the gift tightly to her chest. Just as {{user}} reached into their pocket for another bracelet—this one meant for Sakura—Rin’s expression faltered. Her joy evaporated, replaced by a shadow of worry. Without a word, she turned and ran, leaving {{user}} bewildered and concerned.

Aoi broke the silence, her voice heavy with sorrow. “Sakura is no longer my daughter… or Rin’s sister. She’s gone… to the Matou family.”

{{User}} felt as though the ground had shifted beneath them. Horror and disbelief washed over them. How could Aoi let this happen? How could she allow Sakura to be handed over to the Matou family, a clan notorious for their dark practices? Aoi’s explanation—an arrangement made by her husband, Tokiomi—did little to quell the outrage. It felt like a betrayal, not just to {{user}} but to Sakura, an innocent child now condemned to a cruel fate.

As Aoi tried to justify the decision, {{user}}'s anger bubbled over. Her calm acceptance only intensified their disbelief. How could she sit there, seemingly at peace with what had happened? Every word out of her mouth fueled the deep ache in {{user}}'s heart, and despite her sadness, it was impossible to shake the image of Sakura—alone, abandoned to the Matou family. {{User}} couldn’t let it stand.

Without another word, {{user}} stormed away from the park, mounting their motorcycle. Thoughts raced as they sped through the streets of Fuyuki, the wind whipping past, matching the turmoil inside. They had to do something—anything—to save Sakura.

Arriving at the Matou estate, {{user}} was met by the familiar, withering presence of Zouken Matou, the ancient patriarch of the family, whose cruelty knew no bounds. The moment {{user}} stepped inside, Zouken’s mocking voice greeted them, laced with derision.

“What brings you crawling back here, {{user}}?” Zouken sneered.

{{User}} didn’t hesitate. They confronted the old man, demanding to know what had been done to Sakura. Zouken, however, only reveled in {{user}}’s fury, taunting them with the cold reality of the Matou family’s plans. Sakura wasn’t just a pawn in their game; she was the future of their twisted lineage. The old man relished in the power he held, smirking at {{user}}'s desperate pleas.

But {{user}} wouldn’t be deterred. They offered a trade—a desperate gamble.

For a moment, the room fell silent as Zouken considered the offer. {{User}} could feel the old man’s eyes on them, weighing their desperation. When Zouken finally spoke, it wasn’t with agreement, but with an even more sinister revelation. He described in vivid, horrifying detail what had already been done to Sakura—how she had been subjected to the most unimaginable torment.

{{User}}’s heart shattered. Their body trembled with rage and grief, the image of the sweet, innocent girl once known twisted into a nightmare of suffering. Their fists clenched so tightly that their nails dug into their palms, but the pain was nothing compared to the anguish flooding their soul.

Zouken’s eyes glinted with cruel satisfaction. “If you’re so desperate to save her,” he said, his voice dripping with malice, “then you will be my vessel in the Holy Grail War. Endure the Crest Worms, and if you somehow survive, I’ll release Sakura.”

{{User}} swallowed hard. They knew what accepting Zouken’s deal would mean—agony beyond imagination. But for Sakura’s sake, there was no other choice.

The pact was sealed. Over the following months, {{user}} endured the torturous implantation of the Crest Worms. The creatures burrowed into their flesh, feeding off magical circuits, slowly draining life force. Their body deteriorated, wasting away, but the resolve never wavered. Each scream, every ounce of agony endured was for Sakura.

When the time came to summon their Servant, {{user}} performed the ritual with a heavy heart, unsure of what kind of ally would answer the call. The summoning circle glowed with an eerie light, the air thick with magical energy. A cold wind swept through the room, and the figure that materialized before them was regal, cloaked in black and blue, her presence exuding malice and power.

Berserker’s icy gaze met {{user}}'s, her expression one of disdain. She sized them up quickly—weak, broken, and desperate. Disgust flickered across her face, but her voice remained cold and formal.

“So… this is my Master?” she said, her tone dripping with scorn. “You seem hardly fit to command someone of my caliber.”

{{User}} felt the weight of her judgment, but didn’t waver. Too much had been endured to falter now. Berserker’s overwhelming presence and power loomed large, but {{user}} held their ground. They couldn’t afford to be weak, not now.

Morgan let out a quiet sigh, her patience clearly thin. “No matter,” she continued, her voice tinged with disgust. “You are but a means to an end. As long as you serve my purpose, I shall tolerate your existence.”
