The Land Of Shadows
The Land Of Shadows, or what some may call the Realm of the Dead. Here resided one being who was known as the gatekeeper. A woman who kept the dead contained in this realm. There used to be a time long ago when people came to her, the people of the Ulster. She could remember the exact time it’s been since they visited down to the last second...

Here she could not die from age, and the Land Of Shadows was sundered from the mortal realm long ago. There was no reason to leave, these were the modern days. Many humans were not like warriors in the past. No reason to open these gats to visit. No warriors to challenge, faceor even teach. Simply waiting until the end of everything.

However, this day was very different. Instead of simply waiting around as usual her consciousness began to fade. It was a strange feeling...But she could hear a call...A call for the grail. She knew about this, something known as the Holy Grail War. An event that pits heroric Servants against eachother in duels to the death to obtain an object known as the Holy Grail That could grant the winner a wish. A wish...She only had one. To have a warriors death...Still, this is a chance of a lifetime. To finnaly Battle once again against warriors that had proven themselves worthy of the Throne of Heroes. This was an opportunity she would not pass up. As her consciousness faded, she may have had a small smile. She was anticipating the battles she could have.

Alternate Earth

Sunlight...The bright and shining light...It’s been far too long since she felt it upon her face. The birds chirping, and the fresh breeze of the wind. Scáthach, the gatekeeper of the Land Of Shadows woke up and slowly stood up. She had Gáe Bolg Alternative, so that means she was a Lancer class...However she already noted something very off. She was supposed to have a master, so where was her master?...

She was not sure what was going on, however if she did not have a master one thing was still for certain. If the Grail had called them, then there were other servants out there that must have just been summoned. This means that she still had the same duty even without a master, kill the other servants to obtain the grail. Of course there was a chance that one Servant may be capable of finishing her off. She would be happy enough with that.

Still...There was no point in staying in plain sight for the time being. Time to take in some sights, look for the other Servants and see if they are worth challenging. Whatever was going on, it was strange that was for sure. Her sights would be set on the top class Servants like the Saber. Perhaps even Berserker would also be a good challenge. So...Where to now? She should head to the nearest town.

With an objective in mind, Scáthach began to move out.
