I lost my sight as all that I could see was pure darkness. I lost my sense of taste as I felt that my tongue was no longer in my mouth. I lost my hearing as I couldn't hear a single sound around me. I lost my sense of touch as I couldn't feel the ground I was standing on.
Then I realized that I never actually lost them, they just returned to their state of nothingness.
Now I started to feel the overwhelming sense of evil that had flowed in the air around me. I understood now that this is the existence of the being living inside of me.

Shirou POV
I got up as I had sweat all over my body from the dream I just had. The dream wasn't exactly scary or anything, but my body still seemed to do it anyway even when I couldn't think of why it did.
I looked around me and saw that I was at a park as it was still night time.
"Master are you finally awake" a heard a voice ask me as I turned my head to the left and saw Saber standing and looking at me with an emotionless gaze.
"Oh so that shit actually happened" I said out loud as I remembered all the stuff about the Holy Grail War.
"Good that you're awake now, after all I have some questions for you" Rin said as she looked like she was pissed off
"What are you pissed about now, did you soak your panties" I asked her as she curled her hand into a fist and looked even more pissed than before.
"No I did not soak my panties" Rin said as you could practically see the tick mark on her forehead "And you are the reason I am so pissed"
"What did I do to you" I asked her as I was playing around with her but also because I didn't know why she was so mad at me.
"You didn't mention you could USE A NOBLE PHANTASM" Rin said as she yelled the last part and hurt my ears a bit from it
"Well it's not like I knew I could do it until today" I told her as I shrugged my shoulders
"THEN HOW THE HELL DID YOU USE IT AND WHY CAN YOU USE A NOBLE PHANTASM. IN THE FIRST PLACE NOBLE PHANTASMS ARE FOR SERVANTS, THEY AREN'T ABLE TO JUST BE USED BY A HUMAN WHO IS BARELY A MAGUS" she yelled at me as I took of the shirt I was wearing after feeling something off about my body.
I looked at my body and saw that the markings started to grow down my left leg. I then put on my shirt I threw at Saber as I decided to check the extent of it back when I got back to my house.
"The Noble Phantasm I used was an asspull at its finest and I myself don't know how the fuck I did it" I told her "For why I was able to do it, it could be related to..." I trailed of as I didn't know if I should tell her or not but now deciding to tell her so I can figure out what is going on more clearly.
"Being related to" Rin said as she got up in my face wanting to know what I was going to say.
"I can tell you but I need you to agree to something" I said to Rin as I looked her in her eyes showing her I won't back down
"Master I don't think it--" Saber says as she cuts in and tries to stop me
"Saber I am the master and I will make the choices, you obey my orders so I expect you to not intervene" I told Saber as I turned to her and glared at her for a bit before I looked back to Rin.
"Just what do you want me to agree to" Rin said as she seemed curious about my earlier statement.
"I want to make an alliance with you for us to work together during this Grail War" I told her as she looked surprised from my proposition "I have clear reasons for this though. The first reason is that our servants aren't at full capacity as Archer is injured and Saber has me as a master which bring her capabilities down. You can see how that can hinder us in this Grail War but if we work together we can get over that. Secondly I can't just tell a secret like that to someone I will have to fight later" I explained to her as I made up reasons on the spot and actually seemed to pull that shit off as Rin seemed to be thinking about the offer.
"Hmm" Rin hummed as she closed her eyes and began thinking
"Also after we defeat the other servants and masters we will end our alliance so that we can battle for the Grail ourselves" I said to her to help her chose to join us so that we can work together.
"Fine we will work together until we are the last ones left" Rin said as she gave a sigh
"Guess that is good enough for me" I said to her as I felt glad she excepted "Now to answer you, it might be related to the fact that I think I have a servant inside of me"
"Hu" was what came out of her mouth from either utter surprise or because she thought I was bullshiting her, most likely the 2nd one.
"That's impossible" she said to me as she looked like she didn't believe me in the slightest "You can't have a servant just go inside your body after all they would require a constant consumption of mana throughout the entirety of their stay which would be to much for a half baked magus like you. Also they wouldn't just go into a random body they would go into a body that is the best choice for them, like mine with the magic circuits I possess"
"Well that is the only possible thing that could have allowed me to use that Noble Phantasm against Berserker" I told her as while it sounded unbelievable it was the only logical explanation for the Noble Phantasm and the weapons I used from before.
"See you later Rin" I said to Rin as I started to walk away from the park and Saber walked behind me.
---------------------------------------------------------
I made it back to my house and I was currently in the washroom to look at the markings and see how exactly it grew. I got rid of all my clothes so that I could see it.
"Fucking weird" I said as I saw the markings traveling down the entirety of my right leg and even a bit on my left leg.
"Guess there's not really much of a problem though" I said to myself as I knew that my uniform, socks and shoes will hide my entire leg from being seen so there wasn't exactly any extra steps needed to be taken.
I put on a pair of night clothes that I left on the floor and put the clothes I was wearing in the laundry basket.
I then walked to the living room as I saw Saber sitting with her armor still on and her black and red sword still out.
"Saber I just remembered something I needed to ask you" I said to her as I sat across from her and I swung my arms around to get rid of the fatigue of today.
"What is it master" she said as she gave me a cold gaze while I was still swinging my arms.
"What heroic spirit are you" I asked her the question I was dying to know all this time
"I am the heroic spirit known as Artoria Pendragon Alter or an easy way to understand, a genderbent and corrupted version of Arthur Pendragon" Saber said as I sat there with a confused expression on my face.
"You aren't fucking with me, are you" I asked Saber as I glared at her
"No I am not, you see the Throne Of Heros from which servants are called from is able to summon servants that are believed to be real even if they didn't exist" Saber or I should say Artoria told me
"So you are Arthur Pendragon in girl form and evil" I recounted from all she told me
"You are correct but I am more like the inner desires of Artoria Pendragon than an evil version of her" Saber told me as I just gave up and decided to go with it as the day has been crazy already.
"Also what is up with the whole Alter part being in your name" I asked her as I was still wondering why it was apart of her name.
"It is simply a way to distinguish the differences between my counterpart and I as we act opposite of each other" Saber said as she answered me and I stopped swinging my arms.
"So it doesn't have anything to you being King Arthur"
"It doesn't have any correlation to my legend or myth" Saber replied with
"So is your Noble Phantasm Excalibur or is it like a corrupted version of it"
"It is indeed a corrupted version of Excalibur but it is still primarily the same weapon"
"Also should I still call you Saber or do you want me to call you Alter or what" I asked her as I laid down on the floor
"It is your choice what to call me" Saber replied with as I got up from the floor and got back into my sitting position.
"Hmm.." I hummed as I was thinking what to call her as just calling her Saber would be boring "How about Salter, it mixes both the class you are and your title for being a corrupted version of a hero"
"It is acceptable" Salter answered to her nickname
"Okay, goodnight" I said to Salter as I laid back down on the floor and decided to let the fatigue from the day take me away to my dreams.
