Chapter 57: New Rook
🕑 Added 2025-08-19 02:27:12 +0000 UTC[3rd POV]
Sitting in the ORC room, Morgan sat on the couch, across from her was Scathach, her spear laying at her side up against the couch, her arms crossed. She was irritated beyond belief. She could not remember what happened, only that one moment she was in some sort of battle, a great fight, but then after that there was a great flash of light, and she was awakening after being controlled by some man.
A man that she ripped apart with laughable ease. A man that was dead, as she now sat across from the woman he was attempting to use her to fight. She could sense it, the immense power within Morgan, power that was superior to her own.
She could also sense that the woman in front of her was not trying to fight her, that she wouldn’t fight her. And instead, she simply wished to see what had happened, and how Kokabiel managed to get his hands on her. Morgan wasn’t even tense in her presence.
But her peerage and the others, certainly were. With each of them staring at her in confusion and distrust. They had all seen what she did to Kokabiel, and they had all seen as she battled it out with Morgan for a short moment. So they all knew that the woman in front of them was immensely powerful, stronger than all of them.
Besides Morgan herself, who was borderline Super Class in power, so very close to getting to that point. She just needed a final push in order to get there.
“So…how did Kokabiel get his hands on a slayer of Gods? Especially one as…incredible as you?” Morgan asked, sitting across from Scathach, asking the question that had been on her mind this entire time.
It was really beginning to bug her that Fate characters were in this universe, as she was beginning to think that this was more than just some additions or coincidences. She wondered if a certain universe traveling magus was involved, and if he was, she was praying (not literally) that he didn’t fuck up her life too much.
As she couldn’t stop him even if she ever wanted to. Not with the power that man possessed.
“I…I do not know. I cannot remember much. I remember that I was fighting in some sort of battle, a great battle that was tearing apart the lands. I…I believe I may have been winning the fight? I…I’m not sure. But I do know that during that fight, a great blinding light overcame my vision, and I disappeared from that place. Next thing I know, I awaken underneath the control of some…man” Scathach said, a scowl on her face as she said the word Man.
“That man was Kokabiel, a fallen angel. A type of supernatural species of this universe. He was trying to restart a Great War, using you to attempt to kill me and the two at my sides” Morgan explained, motioning to Sona and Rias.
“This universe?” Sona questioned, confused on what that was supposed to mean.
Looking at the teen, Morgan sighed “The multiverse theory. It states that there are an infinite amount of universes that make up the multiverse. I believe…I have reasons to believe that Scathach here, is from a different universe. There are several signs, but the most important is that her appearance, her background, her power, it’s different from the Scathach of this universe, quite a bit different. She’s stronger, quite a lot stronger” Morgan stated, as they all looked at her, wide eyed.
”So you're telling me that there are other universes out there? Like the ones from anime and comics and stuff? All of that is real!?” Rias exclaimed, shocked, but also….excited? She was a huge nerd when it came to anime, but Morgan could only chuckle at her response, not entirely shocked that she seemed too excited about the prospect of her favorite anime existing out there somewhere.
“There is. Pretty much every fictional universe you could ever think of, exists somewhere out there in the infinite expanse of the multiverse. And I believe that Scathach here, came from one of those infinite universes. I can’t really test it, but that’s my belief anyways” Morgan responded, as she looked to Scathach who was silently listening to everything she was saying.
She didn’t outwardly show it, but she was inwardly shocked at this information. She didn’t realize that existence was so…well, infinite. She also didn’t realize that she might be in an alternate universe. But now that she thought about it, it was beginning to make a lot of sense.
Even in her long life, she had never once heard of a fallen angel like Kokabiel, nor had she ever met beings like the ones sitting before her. These dark, demonic creatures.
“…I see. And…what should I do now? I am without a home, without a purpose, without a master” Scathach said, as Morgan had her thoughts confirmed upon hearing the word master.
“Well, that’s the next topic I wish to speak about. I have an offer for you, Scathach. I have a rather special item here, it’s called an evil piece. It can transform the one it’s used on, into a devil. Said reincarnated devil will then be a part of the peerage of the King of said peerage, aka me. In this case, I would make you one of my rooks. You would get stronger, faster, and have access to new demonic magic. I wish to offer you a spot in my peerage, and in return, you will have even more power, freedom - besides a few conditions - and a new purpose, a new home” Morgan spoke, as Scathach silently listened, contemplating the offer.
The offer itself was…not something she had been anticipating, but she did find it alluring, especially considering how immensely powerful the woman before her was. She might not have her old master, she might not have a purpose anymore, but with Morgan…perhaps she would find a new one.
And with that, Scathach gazed at her, before nodding.
“I’ll become a member of your peerage…master”
________________________________________
Turning Scathach into one of her peerage members had been just as it always was when she turned one. And the second she did, she felt her Fanon maker go off three times. Once that increased the remaining slots, and the other two from the incident with Kokabiel which had been held off, and the other from recruiting someone like her.
[Distant Animus | Sacred Gear - Distant Animus, due to possessing the soul of
an
Evil Dragon is shown to be a very powerful dragon-slaying weapon. It can hurt and damage dragon-related beings with ease and cause serious injuries and it's said that a single strike to the heart could cause certain death. Distant Animus main ability however is that each cut it causes steals a sense from the user: first taking their taste -> smell -> touch -> hearing -> sight. This was the ability of the Evil Dragon the sacred gear now hosts, each one of it's claw or fang bites taking away the enemies senses. Once all five senses have been taken, it leaves the victim in a catatonic state almost as if they were half-dead. The sacred gear, due to the Evil Dragon's influence is shown to be able to feel the evil and sin off of other's as well]
[Magma Phoenix Slayer Magic | Magic - This magic allows the user to use magma in both, offense and defense forms. The unique ability of this magic is that the user can move, both on the surface and underground which gives him an advantage because opponent won't know where he is. Like all Phoenix Slayer's, Magma Phoenix Slayer can also absorb his element (in this case magma) to heal his wounds and it also restores the user's strength. Another strength of this magic is that the user doesn't feel any pain from heat, but the magma that user uses can burn his opponent with the temperature of 1000° Fahrenheit. This magic is also the combination of Earth and Fire elements. The user is also able to control those two trough Magma Phoenix Slayer Magic]
[Gaia Dragon Slayer Magic - The Forest Dragon Slayers can consume Wood, fruit and other plantlife to envigorate themselves. Rotten matter is far less energy giving and has a given disgusting taste.This form of Slayer Magic can also serve a multitude of purposes like healing, attacking, support and quickly raising plant life. The main form of attack for a Forest Dragon Slayer is to grow wood, plants and poisonous/exploding fruits and vegetables from ones own body. The Forest Dragon Slayer also so happens to have a very interesting inherent ability. The slayer is able to learn the most basic spells from its teacher, but that is as far as it goes. To further advance ones own magical and physical capabilities the slayer and/or dragon must come into contact with new and different trees and plant life to learn new spells and ways of magic. Because of this, it take a lot of travel to different countries and nations to discover these new spells, making hiding all the more difficult for the dragons. That and the fact that as mankind as spread out across the world there are different plants and trees which have gone extinct, and as such have permanently reduced future dragons and dragon slayers arsenal]
She felt the power of the new sacred gear flow into her, with it taking the form of a sort of spear, or perhaps a lance. The new magics also cemented within her, with her dragon seed inside of her growing quite a bit, the phoenix seed that seemed to have been growing within her, also appearing stronger than before.
Morgan wasn’t sure how close she was getting, but she suspected that she would be evolving into a dragon species soon, likely within the next few months. Should she continue to get more dragon slayer magics, then this would happen a lot sooner. And she was very excited to see what this would mean.
Morgan knew that she would soon be getting a new universe to pull from, as the peace conference was likely going to go down soon.
Looking at Scathach, Morgan smiled, pleased as the woman stretched her arms, clenching her fist as demonic magic glowed at the end of her palms. She could feel the new and utterly unique power within her. It was unlike anything she had ever felt before, completely unique, and yet, so very powerful.
“What an odd form of magic. So…free, without limit. All it relies on is willpower, energy, and creativity. With this magic…you could do just about anything” Scathach muttered, wondering what would happen if she combined her runes with the magic.
Morgan would have to speak with her about the runes, as she’d very much like to learn how to use them. Really, she wanted to learn from Scathach in general. She wanted to learn combat from the woman that would likely obliterate her in pure martial arts.
It wouldn’t even be a fight for Scathach. Something that Morgan very much wants to change, and she would like to do the same for the rest of her peerage.
With the new rook in her peerage, Kokabiel and the rest of the goons defeated and dead, Morgan decided it was time to take a rest. Kiba had already defeated his fears, and the man that had caused all of his suffering, while the rest of the goons had been killed too.
Although, it turns out that before Kiba had killed him, Valper had revealed that God was dead, which is why Irina and Xenovia were currently out, and Asia was back home, being consoled by the members of Morgan’s peerage that were not currently there.
Looking at her new rook, Morgan smiled, as she spoke out loud, causing giggles to echo through the room, and what she said was…
”…Welp, I’m going to go and take a nap”

That’s the end of the chapter!
Sorry about the length, but writing 2k words is pretty difficult while on the road. Next chapter will be back to normal.
Not sure if a vault chapter will come today, but we’ll see.
Anyways, have a good day!

Thanks for the chapter 🍪

Which Fate series is she from? I'm assuming that it's one of the main line if Zelretch is involved. Now I kind of want to see Acrueid in this as she always been one of my favorites at least the one from Tsukihime
