"And that should be all of it." Sighing, Shirou Emiya finished cleaning up the archery dojo. Sitting down next to his bag he relaxed slightly. Taking out his phone he looked at the time.
Displayed on the screen was the date and time of 2/2, 7:30 pm.
Taking a glance over he looked at his bag and the contents within. There inside his bag was a hard-covered book with the front covered in what appeared to be gold circuits and two gems in the upper corners, colored light blue. Picking it up he examined it again. He could only remember finding that book on his floor a few days ago, after waking up on his shed's floor. Holding it in his hand, his eyes were once again drawn to the welt on his hand.
"Still bleeding huh." He muttered as he turned away and placed the book back to his bag. Picking up his bag he swung it onto his shoulder as he stepped out the door. Closing it behind him he continued onwards.
"Ahhh, I bet Sakura and Fuji-nee already ate without me. They probably already went home." He muttered as he walked. As he walked however, he heard a faint sound. Turning around he followed the sound to the school's courtyard, hearing the noise intensify as he did. Turning around the wall, the source of the noise came into sight.
There, standing in the field was a blue haired man dressed in what appeared to be a blue jumpsuit wielding a long red spear. Screeching through the air it seemed to rain blows upon the other combatant.
Dressed in black body amour with what appeared to be a red coat, the white-haired man wielded two swords of opposing colors as he parried the blows that struck at him.
Seeing the battle between two clearly supernatural beings, Shirou Emiya stopped in his tracks.
"What the…?" He muttered. Staring at the battle he shivered as the man dressed in blue turned his red eyes at him.
Seeing this this and the intend in the man's eyes, Shirou turned around and ran into the school intend on losing the man.
After 5 minutes of hard running, he paused on the 2nd second floor, gasping for breath.
"Did I lose him?" Shirou questioned as he looked around.
"Sorry kid, but you have to try harder than that. You sure ran far in this short period of time."
Hearing the voice come from behind him, Shirou Emiya turned around to come face to face with the blue haired man.
Spinning his lance around the man trust it forward in a straight line. Trying to block it, Shirou swung his bag around.
It was to no avail as it simply pierced through the material undaunted and continued to its target.
"Gah." Shirou coughed out. Looking down he could see the red lance piecing straight through him.
Pulling the lance out the man started to walk away, leaving Shirou to slid down the wall into a resting position, blood leaving a streak on it.
With his ears he could just make out the man's voice as he passed the corner. "Well you were just unlucky kid."
Looking down he could see the blood leaving his body, a lot less than expected. Almost as if it destroyed his heart and clotted the blood as it passed.
Losing consciousness, his eyes slowly closed. Hearing a voice slowly come into his range of hearing his heart continued its last splutters.
'This is how someone dies.' Shirou Emiya couldn't help but think.
However just by chance his fingers landed on the book that spilled out of his bag. Unnoticed by anyone there, the two gems grew brighter and the circuitry almost seemed to come alive.
And so, Shirou Emiya closed his eyes.
And opened them once more.
Feeling a soft nudge on his arm, he snapped open his eyes as he shot up, his hand grasping at his chest as he breathed heavily.
Startled the owner of the hand quickly drew it back as they spoke.
"Senpai? Are you alright?" Came the soft voice of Sakura Matou as she questioned him.
Looking around he could see the inside of his shed. A stove disassembled on the floor.
Seeing his arm, he looked down at his clothes, seeing himself dressed in overalls.
"Just a dream?" he muttered. Looking back, he could see Sakura's concerned face.
"I'm fine Sakura, just a nightmare." He responded to her concern.
Giving him a look, she let it go and stood up. "Alright Senpai. Breakfast is almost finished and Fujimura-sensei will be here soon. I'll go finish up and you can go get ready. It wouldn't do to be like this when she arrives."
"Right." Shirou muttered still dazed.
Stepping to the door, she gave him one more last look of concern as she stepped out.
Seeing her leave, Shirou raised his shirt and looked at his chest.
"Not even a scar…." He said as he examined his chest. 'A dream after all?'
Bringing his shirt down, a glint caught his eye. There on the floor laid the book he found in that position almost three days ago from his perspective, now with its cover glowing in a slight golden light.
Bringing up his phone he looked at its time and date, showing the date of 1/31 6:04 am.
"3 days ago." Picking up the book, he looked at it and his hand. With the welt still bleeding which from what he remembered shouldn't be there, he turned his attention From his point of view he found it next to himself after waking up on this very floor. There was nothing special about it that Shirou could discover even when using magic.
However, it seemed clearly different with it seemingly glowing.
"Trace on." He said as he looked at it and used structural grasp.
In a surprise compared to the last time he used structural grasp on it, he got much more information from it than last.
Its name was the White Chronicle and it gave its wielder the ability to leap through time to events that hold a personal significance. And it was three days older than it should be.
"You must be joking." Shirou said as he looked at the book in disbelief. Bringing his hand down he only looked at the book as…
[X] He brought his hand down to the floor against a hidden pentacle craved into the floor. The red on his hand glowing brighter as it made contact.
[X] He exited the shed to prepare for the day and to meet up with Sakura.
[X] Travel to a node
-[X] Which one?
You are Shirou Emiya, the wielder of the White Chronicle. Can you use its abilities to reach the golden ending? Or will you fall against your enemies?
