Heaven's Feeling – 20
"Yes… Akasha is the location of records. It stores and archives event, past, future and present of every possible reality that is connected to it. Since it doesn't exist anywhere, it is impossible to locate, but I could still access it," Naruto said as he tapped once on the surface.
The water rippled, forming images.
Arturia's eyes widened, seeing many possible timelines below the surface.
There was one that she died in the battle against Mordred but did not return to Camelot.
She would be summoned to a different world under Saber class in the Fourth and Fifth Holy War.
She would still abandon her dream of changing the past as another person, named Shirou, helped her moved on and let it go.
There were others, and they were all her, but they were not at the same time.
However, she understood what he was implying.
"That's strange, why aren't you in any of this?" Arturia asked curiously as Naruto chuckled.
"I'm unique and like I said before, I'm was not original born here, as such there is only one of me, and my being here had changed the flow of this world and everyone I interacted with," Naruto said with a smile.
He explained further as Arturia nodded.
She knew that much from before.
"There is a version of Lancelot out there that stood by your side in the end as well as there's one where Mordred ascended as King so there's no need to think too much about it. Every change you want to make will happen somewhere else in another life. You should accept what you had instead of wanting something more. Do you not like your current life?" Naruto asked.
Arturia was about to say something, but another voice interrupted.
"Mum, dad, where are you?" Alteria called out.
"I…"
"There's no need, I know the answer," Naruto said, "Alt-chan is looking for us, and we should go have dinner like a family. I will join you soon as I need to reseal this room again. It is dangerous yearning for what you could have instead of actually living your life."
Arturia smiled at the comment and nodded.
She shouldn't dwell on the past and live the life she has right now.
She had someone to share it with and a daughter that she adored.
The once and future King exited the room to join her daughter.
A happy squeal was heard from Alteria as she as hugged by strong arms.
Naruto looked down at the well as he tapped its surface, forcing it to show possible future that he didn't display for his wife.
The water rippled, showing a girl similar to Arturia, except with shorter stature.
She was facing a knight with heavy black armor, holding a helix black blade.
To his side was a blond fourteen-year-old with starling green eyes.
They were master and servant. The servant's eyes were glowing reddish colour as rage filled them. He saw someone he knew.
"NERO!" The black knight shouted and with a swung of his blade, he destroyed much of the ground as the girl evaded it to the side.
She was quite shocked and rather confused.
Naruto knew that was him and understood why he was so enraged.
The water rippled again, showing a blond-haired girl in rag.
Her violet eyes were dulled as she had been crying for sometimes, and outside her cell sat an armour cladded knight.
It was the same armour Naruto wore when he was the Knight of the Rounds – the Crimson Knight.
"Why?" She questioned, looking at him as he gazed back at her through the visor.
His blue eyes were filled with guilt.
"I didn't hear his voice… only the devil tempted me. I have sinned... even so I believed in you, but, how could you? What right do you have!?"
The knight eyed her a little, forming a spiralling sphere of pure energy in his gauntlet hands.
He crushed it as the energy escaped between his fingers, blasting through the empty corridor, rattling some of the cages along the way.
"Jeanne. You took up the sword to save your homeland, believing it was him. That wasn't wrong; you saved many people in doing so and gave hope to your country. I have turned blind eyes to that. However, that was my fault; I should not have spared you then as my oath forced me to defend Britain from all her enemies. They had become arrogance in their recent victories. If they do not stand down and surrender, I will be forced to enter the battle. You have seen the power I wield; turning France into a sea of blood is just a child play to me. Your homeland will never see another day break again if that was to happen," he said as his body glowed with an ominous aura.
The black blade by his side rattled.
It wasn't an empty threat.
He could do it if he chose.
The water rippled again, showing seven servants clashes against others.
They were Black and Red team, fighting for the Grail as a blond-haired person watched the battle from the side.
His blue eyes scanned through the field and sighed.
He didn't want to fight in such a pointless battle, nor needed to.
The Grail never had the power to grant wish anyway.
"I'm tired of this, Saber, let's go home," he said as the servant wrapped in thick armour from top to toe nodded.
She followed her master home, leaving the battle outcome to anyone's guess.
"Do you feel like the need anymore?" He asked as the knight shook her head.
She didn't want to change the past by redoing the Selection of King.
If she did, she would not be here right now, and she wasn't angry at her father anymore.
It seemed so foolish now.
He chuckled. "You started that whole battle because she locked me up, didn't you? I didn't know you care for my wellbeing that much. Still… so many people died in that conflict, including our King. I hope it was a good lesson."
Naruto smiled as the images faded away in the well.
He left the room to seal it up again as he had watched them numerous times before.
The choices he made altered the course of history and his own saga.
They were all him, but different in many ways.
He knew that and didn't want to contemplate on it anymore.
A family dinner was waiting for him. It needed him to be there as a requirement.
