Location: Fuyuki City, 2004. Matou Household.

The streets of Fuyuki were quiet outside. It was night already, with a beautiful and almost arousing full moon high up into the sky. Lone cars would occasionally drive down the roads, a select few people were taking walks or going about their business. Fuyuki was as quiet as ever, the regular people unaware of the grand events unfolding in the city in these coming days. The Holy Grail War. A battle between seven servants from different servant classes, duking it out for the Holy Grail in Fuyuki. A battle royale between esteemed magus.

A certain girl from the Matou household stood in the deep, dark and familiar basement of the Matou family that forcefully wrenched out dark thoughts from the depth of her psyche. It was completely sound isolating, so nobody could hear you even if you tried screaming out for days in there. Her grandfather, Zouken Matou had given her instructions on how to summon a servant so their family can participate in the war. It was time for a ritual. She drew a magic circle on the ground, as she stretched out her hand. She begun the chant, speaking in a low voice. Reciting the chant.

"For elements silver and iron, Foundation stone and archduke of pacts, And for my Great Master Schweinorg. Close the four gates. Come forth from the Crown and follow the Forked Road leading to the Kingdom. Fill, Fill, Fill, Fill, Fill. Repeat Five times but when each is filled destroy it. Set. Heed my words, my will creates your body, and your sword creates my destiny. If you heed the Grail Call and obey my will and reason then answer me. I hereby swear that I shall be all the good in the world. That I shall defeat all Evil in the world. Seventh Heaven clad in the Great Words of Power. From the Binding Circle vow Guardian of the Scales. I summon thee..."

The magic circle would glow and burst out a wave of magical energy, throwing up dust from the old basement flooring. The smoke concealed a figure... She could only identify it as a servant.
