[Rayneth El-Melloi Archisorte, Entrance of the Forest, Forest]

One could say that the very nature of success relies in one's internalized potential converted into progression; the ability to prevail despite any adversity. If this was true, one might say that this "Rayneth El-Melloi Archisorte" was someone who could be considered a successful individual. With the destruction of her household and the reorganization through a "certain dog of a man", Rayneth still retained her nobility, and her magical prowess was not something to be scoffed at. 

Of course, just because someone is "successful" does not make them a "nice person". One might say that Rayneth was that bully who pushed you into the sand and laughed at the playground, or the person who would cause unneeded problems between groups just for the sadistic satisfaction of watching something crumble. Although personality might not be a gene, it appeared that "being a bully" was something that ran in the family. Kayneth El-Mellon Archibald-sama [may his soul rest in peace ;-;] had joined the fourth war in hopes of, for lack of better terms, "pubstomping" a backwater ritual like the Fuyuki City "Holy Grail Wars". Although founded by three magus families in the far east, various other participants are called upon to obtain this grail and the "wish" of sorts that it can grant. Needless to say, like her former family head, she cared not for this object, and was rather just bored and wanted to kill off a week or so while she negotiated HBO from her cable provider. 

It came as a surprise to the current head of the Archibald family that Rayneth would become a participant in this war. Rather, the current head did not really get to react too much as Rayneth simply said what she was doing and took the Mercury Maid-tan with her without even so much of a conversation occurring between the two. After all, a conversation involves two people communicating ideas to one another. Simply barking orders and demands was too one-sided to constitute a conversation. Also "dogs" can't really respond to statements, can they?

And that leaves Rayneth in her current predicament. Within the city of Fuyuki with her mad cash money and her mercury maid, Rayneth wanted to win the war that both the former and current head of her family failed to do only ten years ago.

"Fufufu," Rayneth laughed to herself with a sadistic smile upon her face. She could not help but laugh at these fools, believing that they would be able to beat such a proficient magus like herself. Fools, the lot of them. Although the former family head had been defeated, Rayneth would be different. This was a new battle. A new place to show off her title as an "El-Melloi". 

This was her opening chapter to an easy victory, or so Rayneth imagined. If the Holy Grail War was a battle between mages and their ability to support a servant, then it would be quite easy to defeat these "hillbillies" in a simple match of magical prowess.

After riding in a limo service she had procured after her arrival to Fuyuki, she promptly left the limo, paid her dues, and with a tip of the Fedora, the limo driver left Rayneth to do as she wished. One might consider it strange to be dropped off at the entrance of a forest, however, when paid royalties, one's ability to care truly flies out the window. 

Well, Rayneth should not take too much time establishing herself within this war. Although the mages were important to maintaining the war, the Servants were also important. She did need to begin her preparations for an easy victory. And what better to base oneself as an ojou-sama than something that resembled a castle?
