Chapter - 4: Trace Of The Holy Grail
[ Quote of the day: Falling in love is easy. Having sex is easier. But bumping into someone that can spark your soul that shit is rare.]

*One Week Later*
" Ugh! Where is that Holy Grail!?" After flying for a whole week without stopping, Artoria whined childishly. At least Alduin is comfortable, despite being a Dragon.
" Where to next?" Alduin asked, not tired at all. Though If he was tired then he'll just enter Sovngarde and devour some souls. So, It's not a big deal to him. Plus, this Artoria is good company, so It's a win-win.
" I...I don't know..." Depressingly, Artoria answered laying on his body In a ball, mumbling something," Why did this World Summon me? They should have just summoned better and smarter..." She doesn't get It. The Throne of Heroes possesses way better and smarter Servants than her! So why summon her?
' Just because I'm this Child of Prophecy?' She doesn't like that title, not one bit.
*Shusss*
Feeling warm all of a sudden, she heard Alduin's calming and warm voice In her head, {" Don't be concerned Artoria, we'll find It. So don't fret over It."}
Is It strange his voice makes her feel stronger and overall better? His voice is like a spell. His voice is like Magic. Plus, Artoria knows he is truly nice and genuine from her fairy eyes :[Fairy Eyes] (A-Rank); Not the Mystic Eyes that. people possess, but the field of vision that "switches over the world", which fairies are endowed with from birth. The fairy eyes possessed by high-ranking fairies are described as eyes capable of seeing through all lies and projecting the truth. Since goodwill and ill will are both lumped together by fairies, this is a mostly meaningless supernatural power as far as they are concerned. Still, nothing good will come out from a human that feels perplexed by the differences between good and evil possessing these eyes.
Because of these eyes, Artoria Caster could see all the lies and true intentions of people. This is why, as far as she is concerned, the human world is a "storm of ill will" and both fairies and humans felt equally "scary, disgusting". The only thing she saw in her dreams while sleeping was this "storm of ill will". Originally, it wouldn't be surprising if this condition made her go mad and caused her to forsake Britain. Still, the only thing that served as a source of hope for her was a small blue star that shined all by itself beyond the storm... And now: Alduin-The World-Eater. He's the other lucky star she has been blessed with! And that he is here, she doesn't want him to leave!
(*A/N:*Gulp*)
" Thanks, Alduin!" Now happy, Artoria smiled out, thanking the Black Dragon, once again.
" I don't get you, Fey. I'm just telling you something you already know." Truly, human or Fey emotions are a great mystery to the World-Eater
" You saying It, makes It better~!"
" It does?... How strange." Is he using shouts on accident or something?
" Faster my elegant steed of darkness~!" And she's back to her overly energetic self.
" As you wish, Artoria." With a simple flap of his wings, they became 2 times faster. Oddly enough, even going so fast, the fast and strong wind is not a problem for Artoria.
" Magic?"
" Dragon."
" Oh...Right, Dragon."-' Dragons are overpowered,' Artoria thought to herself.

*Two Days Later*
After two more days of finding no Trace of the Holy Grail, Artoria asked Alduin to land near a rather big town at night, so they don't see a flying creature of doom In the air(her words, not his). Because from what they could gather, people of this area naver heard of Dragons. Hell, there is are already a song of him and Artoria around the area.
" Mmmmmm~" Hmming the catchy tune of their own song, Artoria jumped off and landed by Alduin's belly.
" You sure like our song, huh?" Alduin asked, with a flash of his burning red eyes.
" UMU~ Jaskier is one good bard~!" Remembering their song from a town that was celebrating something, Artoria smiled.
" I can't say myself, never heard of him. Though I am curious why he made a song about us, even we didn't do anything deserving a song." Alduin is curious. And a curious Dragon is never a good thing.
" One day we will hear him live, so don't worry~" Stepping ahead of the Black Dragon, she giggled," And what do you mean, we didn't do anything deserving a song? You're a Dragon!"
" That's all?" Humans are strange... Maybe he should execute some of them to make sure they don't get annoying...
" I may have helped. Being a cute girl and all~ And cute girls and Dragons are always a good thing~" She shamelessly said, grinning ear-to-ear, looking Alduin In the eyes...well, eye.
"... Did you just call yourself cute?" Deadpan, the black Dragon asked.
" Eep! I did!" Blushing, she waved, an act of embarrassment she didn't know she had.
" Well, It's not like your wrong." Thinking, Alduin nodded. She is Indeed cute and that's coming from him of all beings, so she is Cute.
" Eep!? Whaaaat!? You called me cute!?"
" Technically, you did. Nevertheless, you are Indeed cute." He answered the blushing red face Caster.
" I'll be right back! Please don't go anywhere!" Still embarrassed, she ran away retaining her ref blush on her face.
Laying down, the Dragon snorted,' Where else am I going to go?'
Knowing she might take a little long, Alduin closed his eyes, getting some shut-eye, while at the same being aware of his surroundings.

{" Alduin!!!"} Waking him up was Artoria's happy voice.
Waving her hands In front of his face happier as ever, she smiled bigger," I found a Trace of the Holy Grail!"
" Truly?"
" Yes! The Town said some weird guy In a black and red robe holding what looks to be a Golden Cup! And then behind are an army of knights that looked dead to the town." Artoria explained to the Dragon with a grim expression.
" Where are they heading to?" Getting up, Alduin asked.
" They said to Tower-City, which is the most popular City In the region!" Climbing the Dragon's back, the Caster was happy at finding a lead!
" And where is this 'Tower-City'?" Sounds Cloud district...
" 'Somewhere up north where the clouds give way'... That's all I got from them." Artoria explained with a smile.
" Who did you talk to?"
" Too many people."
" Sounds tedious," Alduin confessed, taking off Into the air.
" It wasss!" Artoria whined, happy at last she's back with Alduin.
" Well... Let's see If we can find this 'Tower-City'."
" Yes! Onward My Alduin~!" Hugging one of his horns, Artoria happily yelled out In her soft voice.
" As you wish, my fair Princess." He answered back with a slight Dragon smile.
' My Alduin...? Should I be concerned?' Alduin is still deeply troubled by these walking things of meat called: Humans and they flying small ones called: Fey... But as a Dragon, he'll be just fine. He believes that much.
