Come then, hear the tale of that ancient house,
build with blood, upon a foundation of water and the worms that squirm.
Hear the tale of one of the scions of the house Matou,
Of his trials and tribulations.
Of the monstrous hero summoned,
to claim the most holy of relics.
Come, hear the tale of the Forth Holy Grail War.
Come, hear the tale of Heaven's Feel, once more.
It is time, Matou Kariya.
Your quest awaits,
Your servant to be awaits.
Your rivals and enemies stand against you,
What legends will they tell of you as you stand against fate?

Birth of the End EX
Anti-World
By this crystalized mystery was the world saved. Everything ends in its time, thus did the world as humanity know turn upon them as The All Devouring Shadow rose from the ruins of Fuyuki and grew... devouring humans, monsters, spirits and counter guardians alike to fuel itself and its growth across the world. Leaving behind nothing but pristine nature itself and ruins where once humanity dwelled.

Biigoh:
Ye first, O silver, O iron.
You breath in and focus on the array set before you, inscribed into the stone floor of the 'basement' located beneath the Matou mansion.
O stone of the foundation, O Archduke of the Contract.
You chanted, feeling the warmth of the prana within you as they burned along your magical circuits.
Hear me in the name of our great teacher, the Archmagus Schweinorg.
The worms within your body twitched.
Pain... ah... so much pain... you endure.
Let the descending winds be as a wall.
Let the gates in all directions be shut, rising above the crown, and let the three-forked roads to the Kingdom revolve.
The array inscribed in the ground glows with power.
Here, it has power.
Here, it is not opposed by the will of the world.
Shut. Shut. Shut. Shut. Shut.
You repeat the words. Careful to intone as your will sharpened.
Five perfections for each repetition.
And the net of prana spreads wide and far, enhanced by the leylines of Fuyuki city.
And now, let the filled sigils be annihilated in my stead!
The regents used in the ritual burn.
Blood carefully harvested.
Flesh and blood from your body.
Sacrifice.
Set.
You feel interest and attention now, from beyond the world.
Outside of reality.
Let thy body rest under my dominion, let my fate rest in thy blade.
Your invocation is as a beacon to those who have passed from life and now dwell in the realm beyond.
Known only in fullness to the Akashic Records.
The root of all reality.
If thou submit to the call of the Holy Grail, and if thou wilt obey this mind, this reason, then thou shalt respond.
You call to them.
I make my oath here.
Heroes, Villains, Monsters, and Gods alike.
They were something more than mortal men and women.
I am that person who is become the virtue of all Heaven.
You speak to their nature.
I am that person who is covered with the evil of all Hades.
The prana that you had hoarded carefully, that house Matou had carefully collected...
Spent in an instant in the ritual.
Amplifed by the leylines and the greater reserves that the Heaven's Feel ritual had stored over the last sixty years since the last Holy Grail War.
Thou seven heavens, clad in a trinity of words,
You speak to the heroes that were.
That could be.
That will be.
Of the need you bore.
And more, of how they would be manifested in the world once more.
And of the possible boon, of the wish that they could avail upon, if but you and it succeeded.
come past thy restraining rings, and be thou the hands that protect the balance-!
A flare of brilliance and... - - -

Biigoh:
[X] A year ago...
"So, you would give yourself up to spare the girl," He laughed at you. The old man, that monster in the guise of a human, laughed. "You would return and suffer in her place?"
His words were mocking, and yet... you had no choice.
He had Sakura, he held all the cards.
"Very well, in place of little Sakura here, you shall be the heir, Kariya," His eyes were pitiless, you realize. This was no boon. This was... this was a trap.
He had likely approached that fool Tohsaka for an heir, just to bait you... to get YOU here begging for everything you had rejected.
And yet, there was no other path, you had no regrets.
If this was to save Aoi's daughter, Sakura... you would do it.
"You will regret coming back, but I think less than Sakura here would," He cackled once more. "You will suffer. And in the end, you will die for the legacy of the Matou. But Sakura will not go back to the Tohsaka."
"What? But..." You glared at him.
"If she does, it will be by YOUR will and not mine," That old monster smiled, a tight widening of lips. So, that was game. You would be the next head of the Matou. There was no escape. "But I am not unmoved by your words."
You looked at him uncertainly as he continued to sit in that chair, a hand on Sakura's head.
"I will no longer dye her in the colors of the Matou magic. But in exchange, once you have succeeded me, you will uphold the pride of the Matou as a true magus."
And with that, the agreement was sealed as you pledged yourself to your father.
And he brought you once more into that crypt.
That place of darkness, moist and earthy, buried in the depths beneath the Matou mansion.
You had been down here once before... and you had suffered as your circuits had been aligned to that of the Crest Worms.
The soft green luminous glow from soft glittering lamps that moved in the shifting darkness. Darkness and green filled your world.
This was no glamorous moonlit world.
This was slick, moist and squirming darkness, where things were consumed by worms.
Like you.
The process had been filled with pain as the worms within your body were revitalized by prana, and the introduction of new worms into your bloodstream. Into your soul as they consumed parts of it and filled the holes with their forms.
Burrowed into your mind and you were... are... will be...
Matou Kariya.
Makiri Zolgen.
Matou Zouken.
And as your father dies.
You can feel him in the back of your mind.
Countless voices, of all the dead Matou, of all the dead Zolgens... of those who had held the worms within them, who had wielded the thaumaturgy of your line.
You were one with them. And they were you.
You are.
You are.
You are.
You and your father/son had entered the catacombs together.
You walked out.
More than human.
Less than human.
You are Matou Kariya, Magus. And you had a duty to your line. A duty to your adopted daughter, Sakura.
You ache for a woman you can never have. Aoi. Justeaze.
You also had a grail war to win, you mused as you looked at the crimson command spells inscripted upon your hand.
- - - [X] The First Night of the Forth Holy Grail War
As the brilliant flare of the summoning and the strong wind from the summoning died down, you can see endless shadows within the summoning circle.
The ritual had summoned something, you can feel it.
That was when she rose from the fog of the prana given solid form.
You are not unfamiliar with the female form, as Kariya, as Zouken, as the countless dead that rested within your mind. Both male and female magus had been in the Matou and Zolgen lines...
Your first impression of the Heroic Spirit summoned was... female.
Lush and generous. Without a shred of clothes or armor or anything to denote who or what she was.
Curves that shifted in a pleasing manner as she rose from where she lay on the ground with a yawn. Rising to all fours before standing up.
Purple hair as of the hue of plums flowed like a river down her back, before being blowing back and away from you. Familiar purple eyes grew crimson, and her hair changed... paled to immaculate white.
Darkness beyond comprehension crawled up her body from her feet to form a body suit. Ribbons edged with crimson. Exploded from her back to wrap her arms and formed sleeves with cruel looking claws.
The female, you knew her... her essence sang to you. The command of her magic, the mysteries that she bore.
This...
This.
This was a Matou. But there had been none old enough to possibly be a Heroic Spirit.
She looked at you, and smiled at your shocked expression.
"I ask of you, are you my master?"
