"Meredy." Cobra lazily opened his eye to glance at his pink haired companion. Said Maguility mage was leaned against a tree opposite him, notebook and pen in hand. Judging from her soul, she was currently scheming to get Natsu and Lucy together by any means necessary - including recruiting the she-devil. If Cobra was feeling generous by any means, he could share that Lucy's soul always sang tunes of her rendezvous with Cana. If was a long shot for him.
"Meer-eh-dieee." Ah. Sorano. Her soul, normally a calm beating of wings and flowing of wind, screeched its dissent. Being apart of an independent guild now, didn't alleviate his desire to hear souls in such a state. Meredy, finally hearing the quiet calls, turned toward where the feathered mage was hiding in the bushes. In most cases, Cobra would leave the two mages alone, however he was bored. Honestly, people should never let him get bored. This really should be monitored.
"I need your help. Please! It's… Just… Come see." Sorano attempted to explain to a baffled Meredy before giving up and hurriedly dragging her into the woods. Cobra sat still for a few minutes, before using Sorano's distraught soul as a compass. As he made his way towards a clearing, Meredy's laughter rang out through the trees. Between cackles, he caught the words "You did not!?"
"It's not funny, Meredy! I need help!" Sorano managed to whine and plead in the same breath.
"But," she paused to catch her breath from laughing, "you managed to summon a god-" Meredy began chuckling again. Cobra was confused. This does not seem like a humorous situation. He walked to the edge of the clearing and peered out at his guild mates. Meredy's humor made a lot more sense to him at that point. The god that Sorano managed to summon was inside of an intricate golden circle. He tried several times to walk outside of the golden circle, only to flip upside and land in the middle of the circle. Said god was also dressed in only a shendyt*. It was a free show when he flipped, and not the kind Cobra enjoyed.
"Meredy! I don't know how to cancel the summoning! Or finish it!" Sorano wailed. Meredy's face turned serious as the two women contemplated how to solve the dilemma. While Cobra decided being bored wasn't so bad.
This drabble was based off of the prompt:
Character A: You can't kind of summon an old God. You either did it or you didn't.
Character B: It's the one where they're stuck in the summoning circle between dimensions.
I may use this prompt again. I think it's hilarious. If I do, I'll just add a chapter to this one.
