Alone.....all alone in the darkness....will I be alone forever....?

The light of day brings you back to the present, whatever that is. You open your eyes, as your situation returns to you. You are, of course, Aurore Bourne, a Mage of no great repute but no little skill. You've never put down enough roots to really make a name for yourself, instead wandering the world in search of self-improvement. Now, your travels have led you to become in this Holy Grail War ritual, risking your life for ultimate power...or so it has been said. Perhaps you will lose your life in this Reality Marble, but what of it?

You have a fairly good idea of who you expect as your Servant, and with luck the modified invocation will make him into a strong Berserker. But when you open your eyes, you see a youthful girl in a Japanese school uniform. "You're finally here!" she practically shouts at you. Between the bright sunlight and this girl's overbearing presence, it's a bit hard to orientate yourself. She has long sleeves, but you think you can see Command Spells poking out from under then....a Master, then? She runs a few paces away, giving you a chance to glance around you.

You're outside, on a sunny day. The ground around you is covered in alternating squares of black and white, almost like a checkerboard. There's sparse foliage and rolling foothills. A few paces away, a man in shabby dark formalwear is picking himself up, same as you. That is most likely your Servant. Tall and slender, he may have been handsome once, but has long since become a monster. The Phantom of the Opera rises to his feet, ignoring you for the moment to assess the girl. The girl happily looks back at you. "You're the last one here, so now maybe something will happen! ....In fact, this should be fun right now."

You follow her gaze to a distant hill, which is currently being crested by a group of vaguely humanoid creatures. They have jet black skin, a variety of figures, colorful garb, and a random assortment of medieval weaponry. Before you can get a better look, you hear sounds behind you. A similar group is approaching from the opposite direction, except this one is a bit closer, and they have white skin. It looks like you might be in the middle of a battle soon. These guys don't look like major threats, but looks can be deceiving, and you're not sure how Berserker or this girl will react under pressure. Currently he seems to be under the impression that she is his master, which is causing her visible discomfort. You have a bit of time before they reach you...

A) Engage the white army
B) Engage the black army
C) Engage BOTH armies
D) Fall back for now
E) Talk to Berserker and the girl
F) Attack the girl

((As a reminder, polls and updates don't operate on a strict schedule- it's kinda just whenever I feel like updating and have a decent number of non-tied votes))
