Summon 1 - The Beginning
A young man found himself in a void. Everything around him was black. He couldn't even see himself. That is until a green glow appeared right in front of him.
"I am Lucius... The god of this Gate..." The voice that came from the green glow announced itself. The man was confused. A god? Really?!
"I have been waiting for the day of your arrival..." Lucius said. The young man was confused. He was waiting for him? This god really wanted him to die that much to see him?!
"Chosen One... What is your name?" The god of the Gate asked the young man. Did the male wanted to tell this god his name? He didn't have any choice either way.
"Tatsumi. My name is Tatsumi" The now revealed Tatsumi answered that question of the god.
"Tatsumi... Beyond this gate, a new source of power awaits you" Lucius stated to Tatsumi. Tatsumi still was confused about everything, wanted to ask something if not for- "You must go make that power yours, and use it to bring peace to this world..." The god added before the green glow disappeared and the room turned white.
Tatsumi looked around trying to find the voice of the god, but nothing appeared.
"...Tatsumi..." The man heard his name. He started to look around to find the source of the voice, but nothing.
"Tatsumi!" The voice got louder than before. He tried to run around the place, but it seemed like he was running in the same place.
"HEY TATSUMI!"
Mossy's Praire
"Come on... WAKE UP ALREADY" The voice shouted. It sounded feminine so that solves something. Tatsumi began to open his eyes, but had to closed them as quickly because of the sun hitting his face.
"... Who are you?" Tatsumi asked in complete confusion. He didn't know about her and that god surely didn't told him.
"...Hmm? Me? I'm your guide, can't you tell?! Didn't you heard from Lord Lucius?" Tatsumi shake his head in negative to answer her question. "Hmph..." She added after seeing his response.
"I'm the goddess, Tilith. I've been assigned as your guide to help you" The now revealed Tilith said to the Tatsumi. Once again Tatsumi was confused.
"Guide me where?" Tatsumi asked. Surely he knew next to nothing about this place, but hand him a map and he will be able to figure it out.
"Huh?" Tilith tilted her head slightly. "Guide you where? Through Grand Gaia, of course!" She exclaimed at him as if this was everything. "My my, for someone who has the power to enter the Gate, you're pretty clueless, aren't you?"
"HEY!"
"At any rate, we first need to get across this field. We can talk later" After completely ignoring Tatsumi's anger, she began to walk towards north-west. Seeing that he didn't have any place to return to, Tatsumi began to follow the goddess.
Time Skip
After walking for a while, Tilith saw something.
"Wh-What's that?!" Tilith shouted in a bit of fear. And at this moment, both of them began to see that it was a green slime monster that stood in their way.
"Look out! I-It's a monster!" She shouted louder than before, hiding behind Tatsumi. He looked at her and then at the slime that was in front of them.
"Is she seriously a goddess"
"Quick, do something, summon your Units!" Wait... What? Units? What the fuck is that?!
"Huh?" Was the only thing that Tatsumi was able to say.
"...What? You don't know how?" Tilith asked in a incredulous voice.
"Well..." Tatsumi didn't know how to respond. What can he say?! That he was once an assassin that wanted to liberate his empire from a tyrant of a man before coming into this world? She wouldn't even believe him!
"You're a summoner, aren't you?! Just concentrate!" She advised the man in a loud voice, but to him it sounded like an order or something.
"Okay okay, geez..." He sighs before beginning to concentrate. In a matter of seconds, he saw something inside his soul.
A blue glow that was circling his soul, as if waiting for his command. He tried to focus on that glow and the next things he saw in front of him was a beautiful woman with blue hair. Tilith saw the summon and relax.
"Phew... That's right... That's how is done" Tilith said more calmed than before. But then she saw who he had summoned.
"Wait, how did you managed to summon Selena?!" Tilith exclaimed in shock. Tatsumi looked at Tilith before looking at Selena once more.
"Selena..." "So that's her name... huh" Tatsumi said her name before thinking about it again.
"Got a problem with it?" Selena asked coldly. Her stoic face looked right at him and brought fear like no other.
"NO MAM!" Tatsumi responded in fear. Hell... he even saluted her. He had enough of feminine fury always getting to him.
"No matter! Quick attack now before it attacks us!" Tilith commanded Selena. The Unit looked at the goddess with confusion while Tatsumi had an angered face.
"But isn't she my unit?!" His anger rose a bit, before he calmed down. He couldn't have his anger cloud him once more... Not again.
"Well, what are you waiting for!? Attack!" Once again, Tatsumi was ignored. Tilith commanded Selena again so that she could destroy that monster that was in front of them.
"Very well..." Were Selena's two words before she dash right at the green slime. The slime tried to jump at her, but found itself being stabbed by Selena's sword. The slime began to fade and went back to the one that had summoned it.
"Wow, perfect!" Tilith exclaimed in happiness. Just seeing the monster die brought her that much needed relaxation to her body. She really didn't want to be near one.
"Let's keep moving!" Tilith shouted beginning to walk once more towards their destination. Tatsumi looked at Selena, who swiped her sword to clean it of the remaining slime that the monster left, looking at him as if awaiting orders. And when he was about to respond-
"Eeeeeeeeekkkkk! More monsters!"
Tatsumi and Selena ran towards Tilith only to see two more green slimes. Tatsumi began to cover Tilith.
"Selena, can you kill those monsters?" Tatsumi asked his unit. She nodded at him.
"Gladly" Was her only response before just like before, she dashed right at the two slimes. One of the slimes went at her front the front and managed to jump right in front of her... but not before being slash by an horizontal slash from Selena. The other slime tried to surprise her with an attack from the back, but it was futile seeing his slimy body being stab by Selena. Both Slimes disappeared the same way the first one faded away.
"Yay! Selena is the best!" Tilith was very happy with the results. Selena had a pink dust on her cheeks, thanks to Tilith's praise.
"Thank you, goddess" Selena bowed a bit and Tilith began to smile wider. But the happiness didn't continued because of a bigger slime than the three before.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!" And because of that too... Tatumi had to massage his ear for a bit.
"I got this..." Not even affected by the scream, Selena rushed at the bigger slime. She stabs the slime, but unlike before, it didn't fade away. Tatsumi saw what the slime wanted to do and did what he could do at the moment (Because he was covering Tiliith from seeing the big slime or in her words "The devil's pet")
"Selena, watch out!" Distracted by her summoner, she missed the chance to dodge the incoming attack. She was pushed back near Tatsumi and Tilith.
"Urgh..." Selena grunted in a bit of pain. It wasn't much, but the attack was stronger than what she anticipated. She was about to rushed once more when-
"I got this..." She twisted her head towards her summoner, in which had a sword with a red eye jewel on the middle if the hilt.
Tatsumi, in a burst of speed, reappears in front of the slime and with one slash, the slime that was right now behind him, faded away.
Selena look at her summoner in awe. She began to look at him carefully. His brown hair, his tanned tone skin, his glorious muscles. At this thought, she blushed a bit, before noticing something else.
"Are those horns?" Selena's blush disappeared completely at seeing her summoner's horns. They weren't that noticeable because of his hair, but they were there. A pair of 4 to 5 inches long horns on his head.
"Wow..." Was the only thought that Tilith had.
Tatsumi sighs as he turns to look at his two companions and give a small smile. Only to feel the KI (Killer Instinct) that was coming from behind. When he turned around, he saw the hordes of monster that were making their way towards them.
Tatsumi was about to engage the monsters in battle when-
"I'll do it my Summoner..." Tatsumi looked at Selena. He sighed knowing why she wanted to do this.
"Very well..." He sighs out. He knew that she only wanted to prove herself that she wasn't weak. "Take care of them, Selena"
"As you command my Summoner" She spoke out before preparing herself to rush at the enemy.
"Tatsumi" Selena looked at her summoner. "My name is Tatsumi"
She smiles a bit at him and then rushed at the incoming monsters. Her sword began to emit a faint light blue glow that later was transmitted to her body. As soon as the first monster was in front of her, she disappeared... only to appeared behind the last enemy.
"Ethereal Blade!" And with those two words, The monsters were frozen in pillars of ice that broke into little pieces.
Tilith was shocked once more. She was amazed at the strength of one of the Six Heroes.
"Tatsumi, think you can pass these grass fields? I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the cave just beyond these fields" And without even letting him answer, she disappeared.
Tatsumi looked at Selena. Although she didn't look like she received that much damage, he could see that the slime's attack managed to seriously hurt her.
"Why don't we go back through the gate to check on you, Selena" He asked her, gaining an confused look from the stoic Unit.
"...Sure, but I can always heal if I go back to the summoning world that resides in your soul" She answers. Inside, she was happy that he cared about her, but only expected this kind of kindness for a while.
"... Let's go anyways... I am new to this place"
"Sure... Tatsumi"
