You feel a wave of cold air wash over you as the newly-summoned servant made your knees unconsciously quake.
The servant had a cold and detached aura about him, if it could even be called a "him" with how ethereal it looked.
It was sat upon a pale gaunt horse, so thin that it almost seemed like a skeleton with a layer of pale white skin stretched over it, pure white eyes seeming to burn a hole into you as it snorted, causing fog to form.
As for the rider upon that deathly pale horse? It was cloaked in long brown flowing robe that ended in tatters. On it's head was an incredibly wide-brimmed brown hat, a menacing-looking scythe attached to the figure's back.
As for the figure itself? It's body was hard to make out, as was it's gender, with it's form seeming to be cloaked in shifty grey mist. Limbs and appendages could roughly be seen, yet they never seemed to take solid form.
The face was also covered by an eternal mist, with two white dots indicating eyes poking out from the fog, piercing and cold.
"Are you... My master?" The voice that came out was deep and monotone, far from being human, with the question phrased as a statement without any sense of curiosity.
"Y-y-yes." You could only manage to stutter out, fear reaching the deepest recesses of your mind. You tried to steady yourself and look dignified, "I am Egawa Akio, and I summoned you!"
"I see..." The servant spoke again, it's thoughts unknown beneath it's mysterious exterior, "I am what the humans call... The Ankou. A servant of death itself, who takes away the weak and ailing. A cursed prince, some say. The first who succumbed to death, others say."
"I-I see..." You felt your bravery slipping away again. So you summoned a rider, that was obvious. But for them to also serve death? You're glad to have them on your side...
Just then, the whole station rattled as a huge commotion seemed to be happening above ground. Something related to the grail war, it seemed.
"Interesting... More deceased souls to guide?" Rider commented, seeming disinterested. Should you go up and check?
