"Perhaps you were there at a different time than me, then? I have traveled across most of the lands and never once heard of any Holy Grail like what you mentioned, nor of any other item that could grant wishes. And had you been there at the same time as me, you would have heard of Yami, of the serpent Akuma who plagued the lands and of the many other beings that came to Earth." She hmmed at the idea. "I'm getting curious... perhaps there is some way to find out about this. I would love to hear what has happened in Japan since my last visit - or if you were there before me, what it was like prior to my arrival." She hmm'ed and shrugged. If there was some way they'd eventually find out, or Arthuria might have some idea. Otherwise they couldn't really do much about it.
"The world always has its problems, be they big or small. No single person can solve all of them, and even if they could they would just create more. I myself feel pained at the thought that I have passed by thousands of people who needed help in their own matters, but which I passed over because I didn't know or had no time to help. Or issues where I wasn't there in time to prevent the problems from unfolding." She sighed at the thought. "I need to remind myself in these times that, had I helped even a fraction of these people, Yami's subordinates would likely have tracked me down and defeated me before I could have lifted his curse. I had to choose the lesser evil, sacrifice a few for the good of all. Though of course, that's not to say that I liked taking my decisions." At Arthuria's next remark, she gave a shrug and smiled again, in that heartwarming manner she usually did. "I have done my work, meddled enough... I've planted the seed, Saber. Whether it withers away again or blooms into a tree is a matter that I can't control. That part is up to you." Obviously that was a metaphor, but she trusted that Arthuria would understand that. And she felt like she had done enough already, if she did too much it would not be Arthuria's own decision anymore.
"This place appears to have some odd laws of nature, I admit... this Omnilium that we were given appears to allow us to will things into existence, like my beads and clothes, or indeed your sword. My Prayer Beads, the Yasakani no Magatama, are the same... when I was on my journey they were unbreakable, but now they appear to be more brittle, like Jade." She made a motion with her hand, causing the beads around Arthuria's neck to float higher and spin in circles for a bit before returning. "And I was never able to control them to this extent, only fire them or use the chain as a lengthy whip. It is quite useful, I must say. But as for your sword... I cannot say, since I did not witness you drawing it from the stone you mention. Perhaps you willed it into being without realizing such, or perhaps some greater power placed it there for you. It may just as well be the very same blade that once shattered as you fought, reforged and given to you on here, as a sign that you are needed one more." She turned around to look at the mountain that they now stood at the foot of. "In which case, it may just as well be a sign to me, if I woke up in the same place I was once reincarnated in for my previous life. Or it may be that our minds shaped these place from our memories. Perhaps other individuals will know more about this." She turned back to look at Arthuria. "I would be happy if I could accompany you for a while, Saber. You know more about this Holy Grail war than I do, and if indeed it is one such war I would like to learn more - and I have no place to go to right now in either case, so I have no reason to part ways with you. Until I learn of where the kami of the brush have their resting places, or that my other tools are around here somewhere." She thought a moment, then added: "I'll also rest the matters of your kingdom unless you wish to bring them back up, I realize that you may want to think of it for yourself for a while. As for where we want to go... Camelot sounds as good as anywhere, really. But you have reason to explore that place, so we can get headed there."
