Shirou was soon killed by the lance wielding warrior after Shirou was seen witnessing the fight.

Strangely, Shirou wakes up feeling disorientated and recalls being stabbed by the lance wielding warrior. Most surprising, he finds himself alive because of his certainty his was stabbed in the heart. Unknowingly, Shirou has gotten himself into a battle of sorcerer in which he was not supposed to witness.
