Chapter 1: The Summoning
-Charybdis-
He walked across the frozen icy ground traveling through the cold as a blizzard raged. He was 5ft 2in tall. He had white hair and his eyes weren't visible because he was wearing tinted black goggles. He was wearing a tight black short-sleeve t-shirt that had gold accents that outlined his muscles, black pants, black metal plated boots that appear to be attached to the pants, black arm warmers that had a hole for the thumb, two black bracelets that encircle his wrist like bangles each with a small button along the surface, a silver necklace with silver pendant that had a red jewel in the center.
Strapped to his waist were two black daggers and strapped to his thighs were 8 throwing knives, 4 on each side. His name is Drayko Lucifer and he's probably the most powerful being of his generation. He's not human, angel, or demon he's a Nephalem the cross between an angel and a demon. But because of what he is everyone calls him a freak, a loser, or a blight on the existence of demons and angels. Drayko was walking around through the blizzard in such a harsh environment for one reason, because he lived in there in what people would describe as an old shack if they looked at it from the outside. As he was walking he came upon something that surprised him.
It was a strange green light emanating from an even stranger oval shaped green object that was floating in mid-air just a few feet ahead of him. Drayko wasn't sure what the object was or where it came from but from what he could tell it didn't seem like anyone was around.
'No one's around so what could it be? Is it.. a trap?' He thought. Then he decided the best course of action was to investigate it and began to move towards it slowly. The shape gave a steady glow it wasn't fading or getting any brighter and it didn't move. He poked it and quickly pulled his hand after he did.
The only thing that happened was the shape rippled like it was made of water. Still unsure if what he was dealing with was a trap or not he decided to stick his right hand into it. He noticed nothing happened and just as he was about to pull his hand out, it got stuck. Then before he could do anything he started being sucked into the strange green light and against his best efforts he was dragged into it. Then the object disappeared as if it had never been there.
-Tristain-
She woke up that morning from the light of the sun shining in her eyes. She sat up and stretched her arms and legs as she gave off a cute sound of 'Hmmm' from her stretching. Her name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. She's a young 16 year old mage in training, and she's in her second year at the Tristain Academy of Magic. She got out of bed, brushed back her long, pink hair with a pink brush. Afterwards, she slowly got herself dressed, changing from her pink nightgown, for a white shirt and black skirt.
She slid on black knee-high socks and put on her black cloak, with a golden medal with a pentagram in the middle of it, right below her neck, which was used to tie on the cloak. She then picked up her short, wooden wand and began her day. Today was an important day because today was the day for the second year students to summon the familiars a companion meant to stay by and protect their mages for life. Outside there was a large group of students gathered around outside in one of the courtyards of the school, as well as a bald man holding a staff, he was known as Professor Colbert.
The class excitably talked to each other, waiting for their teacher to start the class. Everyone was talking about what familiar they would get, except for Louise or as the other students called her 'Louise the Zero'.
"Alright that's enough chatting." Professor Colbert said and all of the students quieted down.
"The day has finally come for the summoning ritual. This is your first test here since you've advanced to your second year here at Saint Tristain's and the sacred first day where you will finally meet your familiars with whom you will spend your life living as nobles." Colbert said. Then as their names were called stepped forward and performed the summoning ritual. Louise clenched her wand, as she waited with a worried look on her face.
'Well I'm confident in one spell, the summoning spell! But I wish I hadn't said so.' Louise thought.
"All set Louise? I'm looking forward to what kind of amazing familiar you will summon." A red haired girl, with tan skin said as she appeared behind Louise out of nowhere. She wore the same outfit as Louise, as the rest of the females in the class, except that her front was more revealing flaunting her bigger than normal chest.
"Leave me alone." Louise replied in a monotone voice, looking away with an annoyed look on her face.
She did not want to deal with a Zerbst, today of all days. The red haired girl was named Kirche Zerbst and she came from Germania. Her family and Louise's were bitter enemies due to some dealing in the past and so the two naturally didn't get along. Louise kept her composure at seeing some of the familiars that were being summoned and some students summoned great, powerful beasts, whereas others summoned strange, unique familiars. She was determined to not be embarrassed today of all days. Up next, was a blond boy, and a big playboy, a son of a general, Guiche de Gramont.
His familiar appeared from the ground below, popping out of the ground with a miniature quake. A mole was his familiar. Afterwards, Kirche summoned a tiger-sized salamander, with a flame at the end of its tail. And even later than that, Tabitha had her own shot, and she summoned a blue dragon, called a wind dragon.
"Alright then has everyone had their turn?" Colbert asked, looking over the class.
"No not quite Miss Vallière hasn't done it." Kirche said as her hand was raised and she looked at Louise with a devious smile on her face. "With all your boasting you should be able to summon something more amazing than this right Louise?" Kirche asked innocently.
"Well of course." Louise said before she walked forward nervously and gulped as she walked into the middle of the crowd. She heard the whispers coming from the crowd, they were all guessing what kind of familiar she would summon, and one person even said she probably wouldn't be able to summon one at all.
"Please, please work." she whispered to herself hoping that she will be able to summon a mighty familiar. Colbert gave Louise a nod, telling her to begin and she took a deep breath.
'OK Louise you can do this, summon a familiar that will make everyone regret ever mocking your magical ability.' She thought. She closed her eyes, raised her wand, and began the summoning.
"My servant, that exists somewhere in this vast universe!" At her words, everyone had questioning looks on their faces. Those were not the words for a normal summoning.
"My divine, beautiful, and powerful familiar!" At these words, the blue haired girl, Tabitha, looked up from her book, which was a first, and adjusted her glasses.
"I wish and assert from the bottom of my heart... Answer my guidance and appear!" She said and opening her eyes and waved her wand out in front of her. As she did, an explosion erupted from her wand, filling the courtyard with smoke.
At that moment she felt something strange, she felt pain, sadness, and anger all at once, and then it just disappeared. As the dust cleared, Louise's eyes went wide when she saw what she had summoned; all the other students froze in shock when they saw it as well. She had summoned a human, worse than that a commoner, he had white hair and black tinted goggles. He was wearing a tight black short-sleeve t-shirt that had gold accents that outlined his muscles, black pants, black metal plated boots that appear to be attached to the pants, and black arm warmers that had a hole for the thumb.
Along with that he was also wearing two black bracelets that encircle his wrist like bangles each with a small button along the surface, a silver necklace with silver pendant that had a red jewel in the center, and Strapped to his waist were two black daggers and strapped to his thighs were 8 throwing knives, 4 on each side. To everyone that saw him thought his cloths were odd and to them were obviously not the clothes of a noble. So they figured he had to be a commoner what else could he be.
'This has to be a mistake! This commoner couldn't be my familiar!' Louise thought.
"That is supposed to be divine and beautiful and wise and... powerful?" Louise asked herself.
Drayko was in pain and his vision was blurry. He removed his goggles revealing his icy blue eyes. Then he blinked a few times to clear his vision and saw there was a great big light blue sky above him, the temperature around him was cool and not freezing, and he was laying in grass. Suddenly he remembered, he was in the glacier valley on his way home just mere moments ago. He immediately stood up and was very surprised at what he saw. Directly in front of him was a pink haired girl surrounded by people. His eyes glanced left and right taking in his surroundings.
'Where am I?' Drayko thought. He noticed everyone around him was staring at and then he saw a red haired girl walk out the crowd and say something in a language he didn't recognize.
"This is more than what I expected from you after all that boasting you did yesterday." Kirche said mockingly.
"To think you actually summoned up a peasant, I'm surprised you even summoned anything." Kirche added and all the students burst into laughter at this, and Louise felt her face go red.
"I just made a small mistake, that's all!" Louise said.
"Louise the Zero. She always seems to live up to our expectations!" Someone said through laughter.
"Well I have to say, this is a first, and I've never seen someone summon a human as a familiar before." Colbert said, trying to make it sound like an achievement, Louise however, thought the opposite.
"Professor, C-can I try the summoning spell again?" Louise asked desperately trying to avoid having a commoner as her familiar but colbert shook his head.
"No, I'm afraid not, I can't allow that." He said.
"Why?!" Louise asked.
"Because The summoning ritual's sacred and effects the mage's entire life. Trying a second time would be disrespectful to the ritual! Like it or not, this boy is your familiar and nothing can change that." Colbert said.
"I've never heard of using a peasant boy as a familiar!" Louise said, annoyed and upset.
"I'm afraid there're no exceptions, Miss de le Valiel, peasant boy or not. Continue with the ritual." He said and she looked at Drayo before looking back at colbert.
"With this?!" She asked as she pointed at Drayko.
"Finish the ritual, or I'll be forced to merely expel you from this institution!" Colbert said in a tone that offered no room for arguing.
"Guess I have no choice." Louise said and she walked up to Drayko, who hadn't understood a single word that had been said this whole time.
"What's going on here?" Drayko asked as he quickly grabbed his daggers and held them in a reverse grip ready to attack. It stopped louise from moving closer however, she and the others couldn't understand him.
'God I can't understand him to tell him not to attack. geez, he must be a complete moron or something.' Louise thought. She then sighed as she moved a bit closer. She could tell he was watching her but he didn't move to strike. As soon as she was close enough she spoke.
"You should be thankful for this. Normally women of noble birth never do something like this for a peasant boy. My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière." She said.
"Oh pentagon of the five powers, bless this individual and make him my familiar." She said as she put her hands on Drayko's cheeks and started to pull his face closer to hers. Drayko wasn't sure how to react and suddenly her lips met his and his eyes went wide in shock.
'What? The? Hell? First I wake up in seraph knows where and now some random girl just took my first kiss!' Drayko thought. Louise pulled out the kiss and stood back. Suddenly Drayko's body got really hot and his left hand started to hurt. A bright light appeared underneath Drayko's arm warmer, on his left hand.
Sheathing his dagger and sliding it back he stared at the back of his hand, where the light was coming from. Then, runes started to appear on the back of his hand. The burning sensation intensified, and Drayko tried to ignore it but he was already too tired so when the feeling disappeared he passed out. Colbert who was nearby looked at the runes, and a confused look graced his face. He studied it for almost a full minute.
'I don't recognize those runes.' Colbert thought scratching his chin with a confused look on his face. He quickly committed the image to memory and planned to look into them later. Later that night Drayko woke up feeling groggy and with a headache. He yawned and stretched his arms out.
'Damn I haven't slept like that in a long time.' Drayko thought. At that moment he remembered the events that had just transpired the people looking at him, the girl taking his first kiss, and that burning feeling that just seemed to drain him of all his remaining energy. At that moment he sat up and looked around and realized he was now in an unfamiliar room.
'Damn I was kinda hoping that was all just a strange dream but its not. Though it seems that wherever I am the people here aren't trying to kill me yet not like they could.' Drayko thought. Then he saw the pink haired girl who kissed him earlier standing near him but was facing away from him. He could immediately tell that the girl was angry.
'Damn an angry female... I really don't want to deal with this.' Drayko thought but against his better judgement he stood up and walked over to her. Louise was angry, no she was beyond furious at the events of today's summoning.
'God why me!? Why a damn commoner!? Of all the things i could have summoned it had to be a commoner! why couldn't it have been something useful like a dragon, an angel, hell even a demon would be better!' Louise screamed inside her head while she was facing away from Drayko.
"Hey you where am I? And how did I get here?" Drayko asked and caused Louise to scream in surprise.
"What the? You? How did I understand you just now? I know i couldn't earlier!" Louise asked as she looked at Drayko and tried to catch her breath.
'Let's see I could either tell her the truth or play dumb... well play dumb it is!' Drayko thought.
"I'm not sure actually i just woke up so i'm not sure how you can understand me now." Drayko lied.
'It probably happened when he was marked as my familiar.' Louise thought.
"Well then what is your name?" she asked.
'I've never answered the question before since people usually recognize me when they see my face... but I guess I'll throw her a bone for now.' Drayko thought.
"My name is Drayko Lucifer." Drayko said.
"Drayko? Lucifer?" Louise repeated making sure she wasn't confused.
"Anyway can you tell me why i'm here?" Drayko asked.
"Well that's simple i summoned you here to be my familiar." Louise said as if he should know what that means.
"I see.. Now just one more question... what's a familiar?" Drayko asked. Drayko had read on familiars but never one that summons a physical living being.
'Usually they're just creations of energy, but this is.. different.' He thought. However, Louise just sighed at his question.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to explain it to you then." Louise said as she started explaining. Meanwhile, Deep in the academy libraries, Professor Colbert was turning through the pages of a bunch of books, looking for a page with information he remembered about the strange rune that Louise's familiar had gained when she had completed the summoning ritual. He needed to know what it was. He finally found what he was looking for.
"But that's impossible." he said, reading the text.
"I'll have to inform the Headmaster of this at once." he added closing the book and leaving the library. Back in louise's room, it had only taken a few minutes but Louise had explained eveything Drayko needed to know. Now he was sitting down on the bed made of hay, thinking about everything the girl he had just met named Louise, had just told him about where he was. He was excited no he was ecstatic because he was no longer in his home country Charybdis or even in his own universe and he had no intention of ever going back to that hell hole.
'No more.. No more pathetic demon slayers, No more being hated for what I am, No more having to look over my shoulder again and again, but.. I may still miss home if only just a little.' Drayko thought with a small sad smile on his face as he looked down. Then he looked up at Louise his 'Master'.
"So summoning a human as a familiar is rare?" Drayko asked and Louise nodded.
"Yes, rare and looked down on." She responded.
'I wonder if I should tell her that i'm not completely human... nah I think I'll keep that to myself until I feel like it.' Drayko thought.
"And all the mages in this school are nobles?" he asked and Louise nodded again.
"Yes, only mages who are from noble families may attend this academy." Louise said puffing out her chest with pride.
'Grrreat i'm surrounded by nobles I wish I could've gotten away from that.' Drayko thought as he let out a sigh. Drayko thought about it and he both liked and hated his new situation. He liked it since it's not his own world where he gets treated like a menace or has to constantly fight off monsters, nobles, or demon slayers just to survive.
He hated it because he still had to deal with nobles yet again. He really hated nobles and those of royalty because they were the ones who had insulted him, took his family away, and had been trying to kill him for most of his life. Now he's a servant to a human noble which he found funny since in his world only demons and angels could be nobles and/or royalty. But he figured it was smarter staying in this world than in his own. In his mind he wanted to leave and he probably would have but a single thought stopped him.
'I know nothing about this world or its dangers. So.. it'd probably be safer staying here.. for now.' He thought. Louise on the other hand had been watching her familiar during their conversation and what she saw had her mind filled with questions.
'First the sad smile when I told him where he was, then the look on his face that looked like he was going to say something but decided against it during the part when I mentioned how rare summoning commoners are, and lastly the sigh when he learned that this is a school for nobles. What has my familiar been through before I summoned him here?' Louise thought. Drayko who now had what he needed was about to fall asleep and fell to lay on his side.
"Familiar?" Louise called but Drayko ignored her because he wasn't gonna respond to anything other than his name.
"Familiar?" Louise called again but he continued to ignore her.
"Familiar?" She said again with a bit of sternness in her voice and he continued to ignore.
"FAMILIAR!?" she yelled now pissed that her familiar was ignoring her and Drayko sighed.
"That's not my name, Master." Drayko said.
"That does not matter I am your master and you will obey me and respond when I call you whether by name or not." She said. Drayko then glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
'Strike one.' he thought.
"If that's what you believe then I won't respond to a word that comes out of that mouth of yours." He said. That pissed her off to which she responded by walking over to drawer and pulling out a riding crop and then walking over to Drayko and swung the riding crop about to hit him but it never made contact as Drayko caught her wrist.
'Strike two.' Drayko thought.
"Let me go familiar you will be punished for being disresp-" Louise was about to say until she was interrupted.
"Disrespectful? The only Disrespectful one here is you who feels like she has the right to call someone out of their name when she wants something and then you thought I was actually just gonna lay there and let you try and whip me." Drayko said and his gripped tightened and she winced.
"Familiar you will liste-" Louise was about to say but she was interrupted again.
"No you Listen, if you ever try to hit me like that again I will not hesitate to throw you out the window, got it." Drayko said glaring at the girl. Then he let go of her wrist and walked toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Louise asked.
"For a walk." He said as he walked out the room and closed the door behind him. Louise didn't say anything she just sat one her bed holding her wrist, then she got herself changed, and went to bed.
'Damn him but even though he was glaring at me like that I didn't see just anger there was more pain and sadness in his eyes, just what is his story. (sigh) I'll just find out tomorrow.' Louise thought before letting sleep take her. Outside Drayko walked down the stairs fuming.
'Damn her calling me disrespectful, and even thinking she was going to whip me and i would just stand there and take it!' Drayko thought.
'Just what is her problem? No actually what is the problem with all nobles thinking their so high and mighty or thinking they have a right to look down on people just because they come from a high-class family.' He thought.
"(sigh) but maybe I was a little hard on her and I was wrong for injuring her like that." Drayko said to himself. As he made it to the last step he turned down a path that he figured led outside. As he made his way out he noticed a girl with brown hair and a guy with blonde hair but that's all he saw he didn't really care about what they were talking about. He walked over to a tree and climbed up until he sat on a sturdy branch. Then he looked toward the sky and was amazed.
"Two moons! That's really cool I wish I could have seen something like that when I was in Charybdis!" He said and leaned against the trunk of the tree and looked at the sky. After about 12 minutes heard a voice.
"Uh excuse me." He heard and looked down to see a girl wearing a maids outfit looking up at him.
"Uh hi what do you want?" He asked.
"I was just wondering what you were doing up there?" She asked.
"Oh I was just looking up at the sky." He said.
"Really but why are you looking at the sky from a tree?" She asked.
"Well that's because I like heights a bit so I came up here." He said.
"I see well then i'll let you get back to watching the sky." She said and began to walk away but she then stopped and turned around.
"Oh I almost forgot I never introduced myself. I'm Siesta and I have the honor of serving the nobles here and it was nice to meet you." She said.
'Yeah 'honor' isn't how I'd put it but never mind that. Siesta actually seems.. nice never ran into anyone like that before.' He thought.
"I'm Drayko Lucifer and it was nice to meet you too.. Siesta." He said then she nodded and turned and left. Drayko resumed watching the sky for another 40 minutes before he jumped down from the tree.
"Well I better get back maybe the little noble has cooled down now." He said and began to walk back into the school. It didn't take him long to reach the door to Louise's room and he just walked in not caring about asking permission or not to enter. When he walked in he saw that Louise was already alseep in her bed. He walked over to her and saw that the wrist he grabbed before storming out was red and swollen.
'I almost feel like a jerk.. almost.' He thought. Then a brilliant blue glow illuminated the room and once its brilliance disappeared Drayko walked away from Louise and he laid out a futon and laid down on it with a blanket and pillow. Other than that the only other odd thing was that Louise's wrist was wrapped up with the utmost care.
'Hopefully tomorrow won't be so bad.' Drayko thought as he let sleep take him.
To Be Continued...
