geez, it's not alive as in surviving from the grail war in Fuyuki.

it's alive as in she's kept alive way back then in camelot when she's dying, in legend of King Arthur it is the part around the end where King Arthur cannot die due to the holy sword protection, thus he ordered Bedivere to throw the sword back to the lake before she could die.

In Nasuverse they tweaked this part, the dying Saber made pact with the world with the condition she's given the grail while she's still alive. To fulfill this wish that are impossible in her era, Saber are taken anywhere where it's possible for her to get the grail. Due to the contract noting that she must be alive when she get it, she cannot die till she get the grail, in practice her body are kept alive and her soul are taken somewhere else.

If you play the VN especially fate route, or even watched the DEEN/Stay Away OR even the ending of F/Z this is highlighted clearly where the scene suddenly shift to her dying moment after the end of grail war while are clearly affected by her memory of previous war.. In Zero she's still shocked by Lancelot madness that she changed her wish from Re-doing her rule to wishing she never took the sword in the first place. In SN Fate route she found peace thanks to Shirou and finally she renounced her wish to the grail thus she can finally die.. I mean the "the continuation of your dream " are pretty iconic for Fate route.
