Tsukune: Lord of Arcania
Chapter 1
Ogaion
Moka was dead, Tsukune was arranged to marry Mizore and doomed to this snowbound land for the rest of his life. Tsukune knelt there on the floor wondering what to do, should he kill himself? He would be with Moka in death if he did that, however what if there was nothing beyond death? What would he do? He would've given his life away for nothing. "Yes, so many choices, Tsukune…" said a voice behind him
Tsukune Jolted and fell off the bed onto the wood floor in surprise and looked around to see a man standing there in a white robe hooded with an ornate staff with a emerald green orb set in the top, he wore a sword at his belt in a wine-red sheath and a belt featuring a dagger and pouches of unknown contents and upon the buckle was the an Egyptian style eye. "Who are you?" asked Tsukune
"I am Ogaion, Lord of Arcania, I am a wizard and I've come to help you." Said the wizard
Tsukune rolled his eyes "Not unless you can bring Moka back to life." He said
"That's actually what I was thinking." Said Ogaion
Tsukune did a double take "You can?" he asked astounded
Ogaion nodded, smiling "But we must be quick about it we mu—" but the wizard was interrupted when Mizore came back up into the room "You didn't come down for lunch so I bro—" Mizore stopped when she saw the wizard standing there "Who are you?" she asked with a bit of venom in her voice.
"One who bring Tsukune to his rightful lover." Said Ogaion
at this a look of rage came over Mizore's face "NOBODY WILL TAKE TSUKUNE FROM ME!" she cried out about to throw some Ice Kunai at the Wizard
But the wizard wove a spell and a pentacle with writing appeared underneath Tsukune "That will teleport you to my sanctum, my aids are preparing for the ritual, don't worry about me, I'll be along in a moment. He said as Tsukune vanished he heard Mizore Cry out
"NOOOOO!"
The next thing Tsukune Knew, he was standing in a large chamber with middle ages-style decorations three green-cloaked figures stood before him and bowed "You are Aono Tsukune?" asked one of them
"Y-yes I am." Said Tsukune
"Follow us, said another and they led him to a pair of doors labeled ritual room. Beyond the doors was a circular chamber. Before him was in the center of the floor where a massive Mandela engraved into the floor and lying in the center of it all was…
"Moka!" called out Tsukune about to run towards her but one of the cloaked people held him back.
"Wait for our master to come, then you may pass into the Mandela, you have an important part of the ritual, but first we'll need a bit of your blood, it's essential." Said the man, holding a small knife "I'll try not to make this hurt too much he promised making a small cut on Tsukune's arm and gathering some of his blood in a vial.
"What are you going to do with my blood?" asked Tsukune
"We are going to coat the Athame with it for the ritual, our master will describe the details, and Ah, here is our master now." Said the Mage.
Ogaion appeared in the doorway and everyone bowed, following everyone's led he bowed as well. Ogaion approached Tsukune. "now what my aids here and I are about to do is a ritual I have designed myself over the centuries, you see, Moka's spirit hasn't yet left her body, and won't as long as she's within the Mandela, the reason we needed your blood to coat the Athame or ritual dagger, is to represent you and the masculine end of the universe and we already have the chalice here, he said nodding to a woman in the same robes as Ogaion's other aides holding a golden Chalice filled with blood, "However I must ask you, Do you truly love her, after all she did to you?" asked Ogaion
"How do you know of all the beatings she did to me?" asked Tsukune
"The Chairman." Said Ogaion
Tsukune nodded "I do love her, I forgave her when she asked for it, and admitted her feelings to me, I cannot live without her."
Ogaion nodded "The reason I asked you this is because once the Athame with your blood touches the blood in the chalice you will be forever bound to her, never able to seek another lover, I was just checking if it wasn't just a teenage crush." Said Ogaion
"Lord Ogaion, we must begin." Said one of the robed aides
"Yes, Get into position, everyone." Said the Wizard and they did, one dressed in forest green robes stood at the part of the circle opposite the door facing the door, at a ninety degree angle a person in canary yellow robes stood holding a straight stick with runes on it and a crystal in the upper point. Across from the person in the forest Green robes stood a man in fiery red robes and across from the one in canary yellow was one on deep blue robes , these four stood there "It's time said Ogaion holding out his hand, "Take My hand and I will lead you into the Mandela." He said and Tsukune complied. Ogaion lead Tsukune across the edge of Mandela and instantly Tsukune felt as though he was flying across the Universe among the Galaxies, stars and planets and other heavenly bodies of space "This Mandela is a spiritual map of the universe from the Zodiac, to the seasons and the elements that make up the universe, it is through this that we will be able to call upon the power to restore Moka to you. Said Ogaion, finally they reached the center of the Mandela and they returned to the chamber they were originally in however the room seemed to be charged with energy that wasn't demonic or electric or any other energy Tsukune knew of. "Sit here." Said Ogaion, pointing to the spot right beside Moka. Tsukune sat down without saying a word. He wasn't sure if he was to say anything so he just kept quiet and let the experts do the work. Ogaion stood upon the other side of Moka. On the outer edge of the circle a woman came foreword with a censor with incense smoke drifting from it, starting from behind the person in yellow, he began to walk the edge of the Mandela chanting the following words:
"Magick, magick, everywhere, In the earth and in the Air, Magick seals our circle round Between the worlds it shall be bound! Three times around and three times about, a world within, a world without." Said the woman, saying this as he returned to be behind the one in the yellow robes. When he had disappeared into the shadows the one in yellow robes turned around and held his arms up high fingers and palms spread outward and he called out as the others turned in the same direction. With this the man in the yellow robes called out:
"O soaring eagle of the east, rider of the Winds of change, come to us from beyond the sunrise and bring us inspiration! Hail and be Welcome!" at this, it seemed as though to Tsukune's amazement it seemed as though wings were coming forth from the man's arms and the others echoed the man with "Hail and be welcome."
Then the man in red robes turned around and held her hands in a triangular peak above his head and flames started surrounding him and he called out: "O Golden Lion of the south, Ruler of flames and lightning, Come to our Circle and bring us enlightenment! Hail and welcome!
"Hail and be welcome" called the others. At this, the man in the red robes who had invoked fire as Tsukune figured she was doing went into her robes and pulled out an ornate dagger and the vial with Tsukune's blood and held them in his open palms as flames flickered around his feet.
Now everyone turned to the next person who turned around and held her arms in a V-shape and called out: O great Whale of the western sea, come to us from your watery depths and teach us the lesson of flowing! Hail and be welcome!
Once more the other three repeated "Hail and be welcome." When that had been said, the woman wearing the blue robes raised her hands in front of her and a golden Chalice levitated from the altar on the wall in front of her and hovered between her hands.
Finally the person in the forest Green robes turned around and spoke: "O Mighty Bull of the Frozen North come to us from your land of Ice and Mountains and teach us the lesson of stability! Hail and be Welcome!"
"Hail and be welcome" called the others
Now as if this was rehearsed the man with the athame and Tsukune's blood and the woman with the Chalice walked foreword towards Ogaion, Tsukune and Moka in a straight line towards the center. The woman knelt holding the chalice up to Ogaion and the man held the Athame and vial of blood to the Wizard as well. Ogaion raised his hand and the Athame and vial levitated from the red robed man and the vial opend making the blood, Tsukune's blood levitate out and coat the Athame in a thin layer of blood. He looked towards the rafters and called out: Oh, Most beautiful Persephone, Lady of the underworld, we invite you into our Circle to bring us your wisdom from the other side of death to reunite separated lovers, Hail and Be welcome!"
For the last time the others echoed him Hail and Be welcome. From outside the circle a drum sounded and with the drum the people at the elemental points started chanting softly but as the drumming grew faster the chanting became louder "…Earth Air Fire Water…" and they repeated these words faster and faster until they could go no faster and as they chanted, the Mandela started to glow along the outer rim, and as the outer rim glowed the inner parts began to glow too, but this glowing seemed to have a flow to it, as if it was white-glowing water. Soon the light reached the center point of the Mandela and with that, Ogaion took the Athame goated in Tsukune's blood and he called out:
"SO MOTE IT BE!"and with those words he sank the Athame into the Chalice containing Moka's Blood, the four quarters of the elements, Earth in the North, Air in the east, Fire in the south and Water in the West started to glow and pillars of light shot up from those points, green for earth, yellow for air, red for fire, and blue for water, and slowly these pillars moved from the quarter points towards the center in a straight line and converged at the center turning white and in that central pillar of light were Ogaion, Tsukune and Moka. As the light died down there was silence, nothing moved, and from that silence, Tsukune heard something move right in front of him, and with that movement he felt a feeling he had sorely missed: the connection of vampire to familiar has been restored. Moka had been resurrected Tsukune looked down to see outer Moka looking up to him her emerald green eyes brimming with joy she leaped up and embraced him.
"Oh, Tsukune-kun, It felt like the strangest dream!" she exclaimed and kissed him, gracious to feel those soft lips against his, he embraced her and returned the kiss.
Ogaion nodded "Blessed lady of death, we honor you and your grace within your heart to reunite the bonds of love, we thank you for the miracle you've bestowed upon these two, until we call you again in our worship or request for your aid, Blessed Be." He called out
"Blessed Be." Called out the people of the elemental Quarters.
Once again everyone turned towards the North quarter and the woman in the green robes called out "O Guardians of the frozen north, We thank you for attending our rites , Go if you must; Stay if you will, and ere you depart to your fair and lovely realms, we bid you hail and farewell." She called out
"Hail and Farewell." Repeated the others
then all turned to the west. And the person at the western quarter called out: O guardians of the wat'ry west, We thank you for attending our rites, Go if you must, stay if you will, and ere you depart to your fair and lovely realms, we bid you Hail and fairewell. Once more the people called out hail and farewell. And again the same speech was given with the fiery south and the windy west.
Now the same person who came with the incense burner stepped foreword with a sword this time and standing before the eastern quarter, he placed the sword tip upon the edge of the circle and started walking the same way he did with the censor he called out: "Circle of Magick, circle of art, The rite has ended; now we part. This circle drawin between the worlds be gone as time and space unfurls…, as he finished these words he returned to the eastern quarter, turned to the west, holding the sword directly above his head, point held towards the heavens, and declared ""The rite has ended, Blessed Be!"
"Blessed Be!" everyone called out
it was Ogaion who sait the final words of the gathering: "Merry meet and merry part and merry meet again." And the ritual was over, and everyone broke the circle, a couple gnomes came into the room in order to clean up the ritual space, Ogaion came up to Tsukune and Moka who was still in Tsukune's arms. "Follow me, I'll take you to where you shall sleep for you must be tired, and we have a lot to talk about in the mornint." He said and he lead them out of the chamber and down a corridor and into a circular chamber of stone walls, at the far end was a bed of crimson blankets and sheets, "rest well." He said and shut the door
Moka looked into Tsukune's eyes, "So I am really back to life." She said
"Yes." Said Tsukune hardly believing it himself.
"I should have you know that once my father gets wind of this he will urge the elder's council for war with the Ice lands." She said
"But I hope it doesn't come to that, they should just put Mizore and her family on trial, the whole village had nothing to do with it." Said Tsukune, not wanting to have the Youkai world be torn apart by a war because of him."
"you don't understand, Tsukune, My family, the Akiyasha clan has had a blood feud going back to the age of the Crusades, once they hear of this, they will gather all the forces they can, the last time that happened was one of the snow maidens kidnapped my father centuries ago in order to forcibly marry her, the war was barely unnoticed by humans."
"Great, I'm going to be caught up in another war." Said Tsukune slapping his face with his palm.
"But I'm sure he will listen to you seeing as he would be eternally in your dept for saving me." Said Moka smiling, "But for now come to bed." She said with a smile and they went to bed.
