'I'm going to need you to do some scrying for me, Caster. I need to find my friend and bodyguard who is likely still out investigating for me.' You really ought to find out just what Monica's continuing investigations have managed to find out before plotting to deal with the temple. After all, she may have just found a cooperative Master who would be willing to assist you in your attack.

'Of course, Master. I'll just need her real name and I should be able to get a clear image of her. It can't be an alias though. Medea bluntly states within your mind. You can tell that your allies are getting a little confused by how silent you're being. Rider and Saber at least seem to understand what's going on though.

'Her name? It's Monica Eisenmann. Is that really all you need to know in order to find her? It sounds pretty ridiculous that all Medea needs to seek somebody out is their name. Magi from the Age of Gods really are terrifyingly powerful.

'With this particular method of scrying, that is correct. Though the range on something like trying to seek somebody out by name alone is of course limited. But it usually has great effect when I need to find somebody in an area I know them to reside in. I can perform a slightly different scrying ritual if I have a sample of their blood or the blood of one of their relatives that has an unlimited range, but I don't suppose you have that on hand, did you?'

A jagged mirror appears in the air in front of Caster, conjured entirely by her power, and the reflective surface of the mirror quickly begins to shift and change away from Caster's reflection and it shifts into the familiar appearance of Monica.
