[/i][/center] [color=crimson]"Umu!"[/color] A declaration of pleasure, the emperor's approval. While it would have been nice if her place of summoning smelled a bit less like paint, she only needed one look at the boy before her to know. This was her Maestro. The fog cleared out of the ship quickly, revealing [url=https://i.imgur.com/a4xexKK.png]the emperor of Rome.[/url] From head to toe, everything about her screamed her status as an Emperor. The crown atop her head, adorned with diamonds along it's bottom. Her perfectly maintained blonde hair, the ahoge adding just a hint of rebellious attitude to her otherwise perfectly straight locks of gold. Her frilly clothing, dyed in a combination of colors to give it an air of imperial pride. But most of all, those loving green eyes. Those eyes that looked upon her people, those people that she gave all of her love to. [color=crimson]"I am the Emperor of Rome, Nero Claudius! Umu, you have chosen well Maestro!"[/color] She stood proudly in the middle of the summoning circle, observing her new Maestro. Yes, she loved him, there was no other way to say it. Everything about him was lovely, almost as lovely as she. [color=crimson]"Feel privileged, for I am allowing you to bask in my beauty."[/color] The next thing Andrei would notice is Nero right next to him, pressing his body into her own with force. [color=crimson]"You may praise me now."[/color] [hr] [center][color=forestgreen][b][h2]Liliana Mortensen[/h2][/b][/color] [h3]Apartment 13B, Oakfield Apartment Building, Downtown[/h3] [@GreenGoat][/center] [hr] Liliana tapped away on her laptop with glee, the mundanities of the world outside of Atlas were quite intriguing. For example, there was a website you could access via the "World Wide Web" that allowed you to instantly talk to someone across the world! With no Magecraft involved at all! There were multiple websites that let you do that! She had heard about it while in Atlas, but seeing it in action was completely different! [color=forestgreen][b]"Timothy, how do you order the Chinese food on this? I want to eat before I summon a hero of legend!"[/b][/color] The sleeping boy on the ground did not respond. [color=forestgreen][b]"Oh right. Sorry Timothy, keep napping."[/b][/color] She had moved into the apartment a few hours prior, only to find a young boy named Timothy on the couch watching the television. At first he had been quite panicked, but after she poured him a bowl of cereal and hypnotized him into a limp pile of flesh, he had calmed down considerably. Apparently he had a fever, so he wasn't going to school today. This was of course a complete falsehood, his vitals all indicated that he was perfectly healthy and would be healthy for the next 28 days. However he would likely catch the common cold after being rubbing his eyes, which he was prone to do. His parents worked construction, so they left him home alone for the day. Now he was taking a nap on the floor, which was good. Children need to rest in order to get better after being sick right? He had been on the couch, but then Liliana pushed him off because she wanted the couch. He's not sick so he doesn't need that much rest in the end. [color=forestgreen]"Oh well, I guess I'll just do the summoning now."[/color] Liliana hopped off the couch and grabbed her backpack, filled with jars of blood rich with Mana. After taking out one such jar and unscrewing the lid, she stuck her hand in to get painting. Blood splashed all over the floor, but her summoning circle was drawn with robotic precision. As she drew this circle, she had her other four "rooms" occupied with planning. Where would she begin scouting first, how would she first greet Ajax, what kind of Bounded Fields would she use for her Workshop. Answers were reached, new questions were formed, every minute of her time was put to good use while the first room focused on her physical work. Twenty minutes later and it was finished, one perfectly drawn circle to connect to the Throne of Heroes. Well, it connected to the Holy Grail, which then connected to the Throne of Heroes, but it was practically the same thing. The catalyst was placed, one fragment of the mighty Ajax's shield. She briefly considered sacrificing Timothy to make sure the summoning went well, but it wouldn't be good if the first thing Ajax saw was a dead child on the ground next to her. Oh well. Liliana clapped her hands together and smiled, time to get the show on the road as the civilians say. [center][color=forestgreen][b]"Oh mighty Throne of Heroes, I beseech thee! Give me my super cool Servant that I want, pretty pretty please! I'll even add cherries on top!"[/b][/color][/center] ...well. It was certainly a chant. A minute passed by with nothing happening, no flash of light, no wind whipping about the room. Just Liliana smiling as she bounced on the heels of her feet, whistling while she waited. After it was clear that Liliana wasn't going to do the actual ritual, the Homunculus known as Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern silently sighed from within the Greater Grail. Very well. It was a quick flash of light, Liliana was blinded as her Command Seals burned onto her hand. Smoke filled the room, which made Liliana more than a little sick. Timothy was fine though, lucky for him that he was sleeping on the floor where there was no smoke. A fire alarm started beeping in the kitchen, she would have to go turn that off as soon as she stopped coughing. But when she opened her eyes, she bared witness to a legend reborn. And that legend was... [color=forestgreen][b]"Oh! You're absolutely beautiful!"[/b][/color] Yes, this was the first thing Liliana said to Ajax the Great, hero of the Trojan War. [color=forestgreen][b]"You're like, really really pretty!"[/b][/color]
