CHAPTER 1
IS THIS FATE?
Hi, I'm Seinna. A regular 12 year-old girl. Not quite regular tough… my dad's a half-beast. Yeah, my mom's name is Aera and my dad is Gabriel. I stayed in Master Blaire's place with Master Blaire (of course), uncle Orin and Auntie Tatiana. There's also Arno and Xeride keeping me company. Arno nii-chan never seem to grow, he still looks like a 10 year-old boy even now. And Xeride really isn't going to grow, (ha-ha, he's a mechanoid!)
Really, Gabriel as my dad resulting in my snow white hair, little wolf ear, and a tail. I don't mind it, tough. And I'm much better than mom in machinery! Auntie Tatiana says that mom can break a mechanoid in one touch! Wow, isn't that a surprise? I studied machinery from dad and uncle Orin. So I helped adjustment for Xeride Once in a while, too. And I'm at least can cook normally, rather than Auntie Tatiana! (Yuck, her candies are horrible!)
I'm also trained by master Blaire about Craftknighthood. He says that a hammer forges a woman and etc. etc. and lots and lots about a spirit of a Craftknight.
I had a summonite gem planted in my body, too. Even tough it doesn't make sense. Hasn't edge fencer's time passed? Ritual these days.
Nii-chan helped me in making weapons, too. He also tells me the time when he was called Mr. slowy-slow-slow Mc. Slowerson. But I don't think so. Now's he's quite fast!
I also do sparring with Rampage Rabbit Jr. He's quite a tough enemy. Going bounce here-and-there so I can't strike him. Some nerve!
Oh, right. My mom gave me this gem, too. I think she named it 'Red Daemon Gem'. I always bring it with me, since it gave warmth inside my heart.
-Flashback-
"Happy birthday, Seinna!" said all the villagers. And my mom gave me a cute purple box.
"Open it!" said nii-chan in curiosity. I opened the box and found a cute sword with cat-like figurine as a handle. It gleams purple light in the dark.
"That's the kitty saber", said dad. "I'm sure you'll find it useful someday"
And that kitty saber was my first weapon ever.
-End of flashback-
Everything is happy until that cursed day…
"I'm leaving, honey. Take care of yourself" said mom as she pat my head.
"What's going on, master?" asked nii-chan.
"One of the keystones has collapsed, and now the monsters from the hidden woods are rushing towards the village entrance", said dad.
"I'll go with you, master", said Arno nii-chan.
"No, stay with Seinna. Me and Gabriel will take care of those stray summons", said mom.
"Gabriel", Xeride called," I'll go with you"
"No, stay here. I'm sure we'll handle them", dad replied.
"But…"
"Believe me", dad said. And he gave her last pat to me before they took off.
15 minutes later…
"I wonder how they were doing", I mumbled. When suddenly a light bulb appeared before my head.
"Hey, nii-chan, mind sparring with me?" I asked.
"What for?" Xeride asked.
"I want to train my skills so that I can show it off to mom and dad!" I answered.
"How about training the magic I taught you before?" asked nii-chan.
"Good idea!" I exclaimed. And we took off to near the waterfall, where we usually train.
"Okay, this move is called spark whip. If you use it, you can gather electricity in your hands and use them to strike your enemies. Now let's give it a try!" nii-chan explained.
"But how to do it?" I asked and everyone sweatdropped.
"Don't you remember the trick, Seinna? You gather power on your palms, and… voila!" nii-chan said.
"I won't understand it if you don't give me any example!" I replied sarcastically.
"Okay then, but keep your attention!" nii-chan said.
Then nii-chan started to gather energy on his palms. The wind started to rage and it made a little tornado on his palms and… he hit it on the wall. Making the cliffs crack. And it made a loud voice too. The shop clerk seems to be quite angry with this.
"Hey! Don't make loud voice around! You're scaring my customers!" the shop clerk shouted with anger.
"Sorry Mr. Shop clerk!" nii-chan said.
"Okay then…, let's put it on your practice!" he said.
I tried to copy what nii-chan did. I started to gather my energy on my left palm. I heard a crackling sound when a ball of electricity appeared on my left palm. I tried to move it. The ball left traces of electricity, and the more I move it, the more flexible it becomes. Just like a whip. I stroke it to a waterfall, making the whole waterfall zap and… the fisherman came to me.
"Hey, thanks for sending all the fishes above!" he said. "We're going to have a seafood party tonight!"
All of us sweatdropped. Without my knowing I've killed all the fishes on the village. Anyway, now I've mastered the move 'spark whip'! All of us went to master Blaire's place. Less than one minute after I entered, a knock on the door was heard. I opened the door, which reveals Uncle Orin, who went after mom and dad a while ago.
"Hi, uncle Orin!" I exclaimed. How's the battle?
"How can I say, this, Sienna…" uncle Orin mumbled.
"What's up? You look down uncle Orin", I asked.
"Aera and Gabriel, your parents… they sacrificed their soul in that battle" uncle Orin said.
"What? How could that happen! There's no way they could lose to regular stray summons!" I insisted.
""it was an ambush. The monsters aren't a big deal but they are so many. Aera and Gabriel were really tired when… the boss of the monsters came. It was a huge Bear with sharp claws. Because of the size, they think that monster is slow enough. But it was much faster than they think. Gabriel got slashed on the stomach. And Aera used the power of Mono Shift to save the village. The village was saved… but in return… Aera died." Uncle Orin explained.
I don't believe it. Even a bit. My mom and dad would never be that weak. They have fought countless monsters everywhere! How could they lost to just a big monster like THAT?
"The wind sounds sad. It tells me that master is really gone. I'm sad for master, too…" Arno nii-chan said.
I looked at the red daemon gem mom gave me, and the dog collar dad gave me. Now it's the only memorial I have for them… I hugged at them and began to cry as loudly as my lungs can afford.
"NO! I DON'T BELEVE IT! Why? Why can life be so unfair? Why my parents have to die? WHY?" when suddenly the red daemon gem emits a bright red light. No, not only that. My body too! What's happening?
"Seinna… is she going to be like master too?" nii-chan exclaimed. Even I can't see trough a light so bright, I still can hear their sounds.
"Isn't the last edge fencer Aera?" uncle Orin replied.
"Seinna!" shouted Auntie Tatiana.
I just… somehow. I don't know it. I just feel strange, until the burst of light disappeared, and leaving me in a weird condition. I just transformed!
"Whoa!" I shouted. And in a brief minute, I lost my consciousness.
"Seinna…" I heard a voice.
"Hmm? What's that?" and I saw a figure of an Oni. "Who are you?" I asked.
"I'm Goura. I've been living inside Aera… and now you", replied the voice.
"Can you explain the death of my parents, then?" I insisted.
"I'm sorry…" is the only reply I get when the voice started to vanish…
"Hey, wait up! I shouted.
"Goodbye, Seinna…"
"SEINNA! WAKE UP! HEY!" shouted a voice nearly making me deaf, which I recognize as nii-chan's voice.
"Hey! I may be unconscious but at least I have ears!" I shouted back at nii-chan.
"Oh God thanks finally you're awake!" nii-chan exclaimed as he started to hug me, nearly strangling me to death.
"Nii-chan, you gonna kill me if you keep hugging me like this!" I shouted as I breathe heavily for air.
"You were sleep-talking and so on I think you going to be taken from this world!" nii-chan exclaimed right on my ears.
"Tatiana! Orin! Master Blaire! Seinna's awake!" shouted nii-chan. nearly making me deaf for the second time.
"Seinna! You're alright?"
"Whoa! What's wrong, Auntie Tatiana? Why are you shouting? I'm fine here. Just look at me!"! I exclaimed.
"Who wouldn't be worried? Not only worried, you made us worried sick! You just transformed and then fainted! And when sleeping you was sleep-talking!" Auntie Tatiana exclaimed.
"And my head and ear hurts hearing you shout with an ultrasonic volume! You nearly break my hearing sense!" I shouted back!
"Whatsoever, but why is Goura's power remains inside Seinna's body? There must be something wrong about this", Master Blaire said.
"I think we're off to see Toumei, then", said Uncle Orin.
"Toumei? Who's that?" I asked.
"Ooh! Toumei the vagrant summon! I still remember him!" exclaimed nii-chan.
"He's the onmyouji from Silturn, maybe he could help", explained Auntie Tatiana.
"On-myou-ji? Vagrant summon? I think we're going to meet someone strange", I said.
"Yes, Toumei is strange!" replied nii-chan, childish as ever.
"Stop it. Maybe indeed Toumei is strange, but he is still a great person" Xeride replied.
"But where is Toumei now? It's been years since he left the Cliff Village…" uncle Orin mumbled.
"According to Aera's information, Toumei is last spotted in the Oni Hot Springs" Xeride explained.
"And do you know how to get there?" asked nii-chan.
"duh. Haven't I told you? I have a teleport function, just like Bruno. And I've hacked his database too", Xeride replied sarcastically.
"sorry, Xeride", nii-chan said, "I forgot that thing"
Okay, then. We're going to the Oni Hot Springs tomorrow!

"urgh, I can't sleep"
"don't go… master…"
"let's go to the borzak garden!"
"I'll beat you in no time at all, you tiny-tail dumbass!"
Oops. Forget to mention something. I don't own Summon Night. Not Arno or Xeride or etc. etc. I only own Seinna and her moves (except healing spell). Kitty saber is one of the SNSS2 weapons. If you don't know it, turn on your GBA and try to win over Lobsta Supreme. You'll get a cat paw figurine. Make it into a sword and… you're done.

omake
Xeride isn't really going to grow – it is my pure idea.
"hey, thanks for making all the fishes go above!" – I took it from MAR, when Nanashi was going to strike Alviss with his electric eye underwater.
"it was faster than they thought" – my friend Irving's idea 'there's no way Aera and the black swordsman would get beaten by puny monsters' and the fact that monsters with great agility is the hardest to take.
"Duh. Don't you remember that I have a teleport function like Bruno? And I also hacked his memory" – the cutscene on SNSS2. you button-jabbers wouldn't notice this.
"Arno nii-chan still looks like a 10 year-old boy even now" – I just can't imagine a grown-up Arno, so I put it this way.
nii-chan is the way of Japanese calling 'big brother'
