[b][i]Lorenzo Calungsod Emiya[/i][/b]

Even in Kyoto, the Holy Church had a foothold; a small stone church on its outskirts used by Japanese who found Western-style weddings to be cheap and yet charming/spectacular, and Filipino overseas workers hoping for spiritual solace. Lorenzo, being Half-Filipino himself, almost regretted using the cellar of the church for an occult ceremony, but alas, people needed to be saved from death or a fate worse than death from the Grail War - He had no strong wish; his parents were still alive, his grandfather's research was in the hands of the Clock Tower and he had no desire to go to war to get it back, and Humanity was slated to ascend anyway; either to Heaven or the Age of Will or the latter, then the former.

Either way, the young man carefully dusted the floor; it would not do to have the summoning disrupted by a sneeze. Once all the dust was swept onto a corner with a broom, Lorenzo drew the summoning circle and placed the Catalyst on it; a sash that once belonged to Gajah Mada. Then, he switched on his Magic Circuits and allowed the energy within them to [i]flow[/i].

[b][i]"Let silver and steel be the essence. Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation. Let red be the color I pay tribute to. Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall. Let the four cardinal gates close. Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate." "Let it be filled. Again. Again. Again. Again.

"Let it be filled fivefold for every turn, simply breaking asunder with every filling."[/i][/b]

If Lorenzo had a wish, it was for people to stop seeking shortcuts to reach The Root/Save the World. Only wishes that saved [i]people[/i] were legitimate, and not ones that bent to a utilitarian calculus of killing the few to save the many [i]every dang time[/i]. Yes, sometimes, one had to do it; one had to choose. But that didn't mean that such choices were somehow [i]sanctified[/i], not when such logic eventually severed one from their humanity, and then where would they be?

In the light of his own [s]Magical Energy[/s] Prayer Power, Lorenzo Emiya thought a silent prayer, [i]God, we know you exist and are benevolent; may you not be judged by your scripture, nor by the actions of your Church. For the general direction you set is that of altruism and paradise, of effort not to ruin others' lives, but to promote happiness, fairness, and kindness. May those who use your name to commit atrocity one day weep.[/i]

As the Servant - Saber - made itself appear, Lorenzo opened his heart, to the burgeoning Servant bond; he had nothing to hide from this man or woman. He was Lorenzo; Lorenzo Calungsod Emiya, one who instinctively knew that [i]he should not have existed[/i], and yet he did.

He was thankful to God for that, and it was God who moved his heart to feel that he should, [i]'Put people above Humanity; Humanity will be saved.'[/i]
