Explaination and Limitations

Ria thought back to when that Sakura girl first got the notebook. "I see..." she pondered. "So you were those things removed from her body?"

The woman nodded. "Yes. They were fragments of the Holy Grail from the fourth war. Zouken implanted them into her for his own plans, and that is how we were part of Sakura."

"So that makes you the Holy Grail?" Ria replied to sum up what this woman was saying. "And I assume you wanted me to come here."

"Yes, though I did not know what form the holder of the notebook would take. A naked, flying lady was easy to spot," the Grail explained.

"So what do you want?" Ria asked as she rubbed her nipples a bit. "Well, your notebook is bringing about a stalemate to this Holy Grail War," the Grail began. "Shirou Emiya will certainly use it to stop the fighting. Fortunately, the found families had a contingency plan in place of a situation like this. A Greater Grail War, with seven more servants."

"Okay...." Ria commented, not sure where the Grail was going or how it involved her.

"But before I can begin that, I need to ensure that Shirou or whoever has the notebook cannot enthrall these new servants."

"So you want to make it so that these new servants cannot be affected by the notebook? That can be done, though I do ask for a condition that upon defeat, the notebook can be used on a servant," Ria said, trying to negotiate.

"That will be acceptable," the Grail said as a magic circle appeared beneath Ria. She was not too concerned by it. She had never heard of anyone killing an Erokami before, so she doubted this would harm her. A few beams of light came out of the circle and touched Ria. After a moment, the beams and the circle faded away. "Done," the Grail said.

"The next thing I would like from you is to be the catalyst for a new servant." After she said that, a different magic circle appeared under Ria. The Grail held out one of her arms, with her palm facing forward. The woman then began a chant.

Let silver and steel be the essence.

Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation

Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall

Let the four cardinal gates close.

As the woman chanted, the magic circle around Ria began to glow more intensely.

Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate.

I hereby declare.

Your body shall serve under me.

My fate shall be your sword.

Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail

If you will submit to this will and this reason…Then answer!

The ground began to shake as the chant continued. A sound, almost mechanical, began to whir in the air.

An oath shall be sworn here!

I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven.

I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell!

From the Seventh Heaven, attended to by three greet words of power,

Come forth from the ring of restraints,

Protector of the Holy Balance!

On finishing the chant, there was a blinding flash of light. It was like the entire chamber was white. After a moment, the light cleared. Ria could see another person had appeared. She had long, white hair, that looked like a starry sky from the front. She wore a golden and skimpy bikini-like armor. Her skin was white, except for her arms and legs, which looked like they were made out of blue crystal. Her ruby eyes stared at Ria, with a lusty look on her face.

"You don't have to introduce yourself yet, assassin," the Grail said as she approached the new woman. "But before that, I need you to take your leave," she said as she looked at Ria. "You may contact Shirou, and you can tell him of the rules I imposed. But you cannot tell them where to find us."

"I'm fine with that," Ria nodded. "It looked like you need so time to set up this Greater Grail War. It sounds like it could be entertaining."

"Good," the Grail said. "And that will be all. If you don't mind, I have to get to work."

With that Ria took off and flew back to the entrance of the chamber.

"Now then," the Grail said as she looked as the new woman. "Kama... no Assassin of Lust. I have a job for you. To start this Greater war, we need more leylines. Seek out the mages controlling near by lines and "persuade" them to help us."

Kama sighed. "It's not like I have much of a choice. Very well, master. I will begin at once."
