[h3][i][b][b]Jonathan Clairmont - Master[/b][/b][/i][/h3] [hider=Large IC post]Jonathan walked above a bridge as he at his clan's house that was provided to him for the Holy Grail War and entered before he looked around the interior looking for a suitable space to preform his work. Finding nothing he soon frowned with nothing suited to his taste however, the basement was suitable enough for the summoning of his servant and he began to prepare. Thinking back, he smiled as he remembered the house was in his family for many generations even before the creation of his clan and belonged to his grandfather who had it passed down to him. So he couldn't hate it for many reasons, one obvious one was for its impressive beauty. It was a old building but was remodeled which he took note as he came to a window, he looked outside to see the forest full of trees obviously that surrounded the house outside the area of the brick wall that was maybe 12 feet in height that surrounded the property. It was fancy yet simple after the remodeling of the building but its main display was its massive garden that surrounded the building with stone steps leading to the door and other places in the garden where pools of water could often be found linked to each other by waterfalls with Koi Fishes swimming in them. The largest of the pool was in front of the building that surrounded the house separating it with the garden having built a bridge built over the water to enter the house. You could spend hours watching the Koi Fishes swimming and watching come to you as you fed them. The building was at the edge of the forest outside of Redrock where in a short leap over the wall you could loose yourself in the forest, however the garden of the property itself rivaled the natural beauty that the forest had. The garden and ponds themselves were able to maintain itself for the most part only having a party once a year at the property during the beginning spring to do cleaning around the place. However, Jonathan had no time for such pleasure as taking a walk in the forest or enjoying the garden like he did when he was younger unfortunately he had something to do. After walking around the inside of the building until he was content with it, he left the main building and began to walk through the garden as he observed the paths and where they lead. He was planning to create a barrier for trying to conceal the magical presence that would soon be inside the property. It would consume some of his time, layering these two fields upon one another but precaution was needed and he still had time before the event started as he had came early, so he began his work walking as he began kneading the magical energy around the area enjoying the flowers as he did so for the days that he had. It took several days, before Jonathan wiped the sweat off his forehead as he observed his work as he walked on the brick walls and looked at his barriers several times. Noticing a few mistakes in the barrier, he quickly mended them as he checked from all sides of the barrier before jumping off the wall. Feeling content with his barriers, he preferred to have quality over quantity as he created two fields integrated with each other, subtly enhancing their effects by working together. With both of the fields, Jonathan's property seemingly went mostly unnoticed to most people's perspective as if blending into the background naturally unless something attracted their attention to make them enter through the gates or climb over the wall. To those that it did attract, they would feel mysterious feeling an upon entering the vicinity they would feel the house was a part of the land. Entering through the gate, they would find it unlock and upon coming in would instantly notice the ponds and garden, it was too large to even be intentionally ignored. Trying to sense anything from the inside or outside they would only sense nothing in particular with the exception of impressive mana collected from the plants and animals that were on the instate. The property seemed to be a place full of natural mana from the land most likely from the garden that it was able to keep up and was kept in with a simple barrier that allowed some of the mana to be released in case it collected too much. However despite this impressive amount of mana, large-scale magecraft cant be used with this mana thanks to the clan's previous barrier along with Jonathan's own barrier which caused the mana inside the area to be largely unusable and limited to smaller tasks. The mana inside the property is a surely distracting thing as it allowed Jonathan when he wanted to easily infuse his items with magical energy when he needed and use smaller-scale magecraft easily but the same was applied to his opponents. However, he didn't care about the extra uses that it provided as he only admired the garden for its beauty, anything else was used sparingly and graciously. But now, the garden was not his main propriety as he went back into the house and down into the basement to preform the ritual. His week had been entirely consisted of putting up the barrier that disguised the place and reinforcing the barrier to trapping in the mana along with preparing the Servant Summoning Ritual. [/hider] He looked around the basement as he stared at his feet the circle of blood that he had prepared, along with a Catalyst capable of summoning a Lancer of considerable skill, having a spear tied with the hair of the mane of a horse. It wasn't the most detailed of Catalysts but the specimen of the horse's hair was difficult to find as the breed of horses were uncommonly breed in the West. So the summoning of the servant was localized more thanks to it and the rest would have to be done with luck and what ever else comes after that. Raising his hand forth, he could feel the tug and flow of prana in his body, coursing and igniting in him. His magic circuits were a encumbered with of the amount activity. The experience of summoning a servant, unique, the sensation of summoning a servant, terribly painful. Breathing heavily, he continued on the ritual. Feeling the strain on his body and the silent, still mana around the property being disturbed, ebbing and flowing due to the spiritual pressure of the ritual. He continued the quite painful ritual and improvising quite a bit after the scorching experience of pain. "He who rules the field of battle, the commander who sought none for your vanity and selfishness blinded your fate from true triumph. I give you another chance to grasp victory in battle of the Holy War of the Grail. Come forth if you wish to destroy those who believe to be better than you in the gruesome art of war, show them your true power and accept my contract and be loyal only to me and only me!" At this moment now, the pain had subsided but it still was greatly uncomfortable as Jonathan sweated heavily as he extended his hand once again grunting the words to finish the ritual. This part he managed to say correctly unlike before, which he improvised to cut to the chase. "You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance ―――!"
