grails_vessel[It's been a while since Irisviel's taken a moonlit stroll. So long that she got caught in the Dark Hour, and she had been pulling out her phone to call Saber. After all, she still had not managed to awaken her Persona, and even if she had her abilities here, she only knew healing and defensive magics. Nothing that could defeat a Shadow. The video was switched on as she started to make her call, then she stopped, her face turning happy and surprised.]
Kiritsugu! [She lowered the phone as she took a step to her husband] I am so glad to see you. How- [Her voice abruptly broke off as the figure of Kiritsugu pulled out his gun, pointing it right at her face. What was going on...? Why would he-] What... Kiri, please, don't do this...
[The gun didn't lower. The stony look on his face didn't change one bit, not even as he slowly curled his finger around the trigger. Irisviel started to back up, her hands casting out for her strings. If only she had her magic...! That would be enough to slow him down while she figured out what had caused such a change in Kiritsugu. She threw up her arms in front of her face as he squeezed the trigger, her cry being hidden by the gunshot]
[Then-]
[Light. Blinding light. Irisviel fell to one knee, her shoulder bleeding from the shot. But even that started to slow as the light concentrated around the wound, a weak Dia working on her body. Irisviel looked above her, seeing a figure floating there. It smiled at her- no, she smiled at her. This was female, clad it what appeared to be a rainbow. She spoke, her voice reverberating within Irisviel]
Thou art I, and I art thou. My name is Iris, the messenger. We shall walk this path together.
[The figure slowly disappeared, taking the light with her. Irisviel looked over to where Kiritsugu was, only to see nothing. She swallowed, lifting her nearly forgotten phone and flipping through her contacts to call the woman she had originally started to contact]
S-saber.
