Hey guys, this is a new project that I'm working on for when I feel lazy about updating my other stories, so enjoy this series of short stories regarding our timid and awkward summoner and the bright and cheery princess Tana (I love her so much.)

Summoning Grounds

A bead of sweat rolled down Kiran's face as the legendary weapon Breidablik shook in his hand, the teal haired twins stood behind him apprehensively as they waited to see who would come out next.

The trio had been at it for a few hours since the new banner had released, Eirika and Ephriam practically begged the poor timid summoner to try and summon Tana, though they supposed that Innes would be a nice inclusion. Being the friendly tactician that he was, he obliged... Unfortunately, since then, the order's orb supply had been running low and Anna had already reprimanded him harshly for the use of so many orbs, Kiran shuddered at the memory.

They had somehow been able to recruit Amelia through a full wheel of green orbs (much to their dismay) though they had happily welcomed the armored blonde into the order of heroes.

Ephraim and Eirika's expressions have started to lose hope. As nice as they were, they really didn't want to see any more Oboros or Florinas and Naga know that they already had their fill of Odin's theatrics but Kiran wasn't about to lose hope now, Eirika and Ephraim had been loyal and supportive friends since their appearance and they have been his strongest and most trustworthy comrades, he didn't want to let them down after all they had done for him.

Sweeping his hair to the side, Kiran looked to the side to find only five more orbs. Without hesitation, Kiran loaded them into the Breideblik one by one, Ephraim stepped up to place a hand on his shoulder before shaking his head. "That's enough, Kiran. You shouldn't waste any more orbs on our behalf and selfish desires, we can just wait until another banner shows up." He tried to convince him to stop, Eirika soon joined in as well as she expressed her concerns but Kiran wasn't having any of it. Despite his timid and awkward exterior, he knew how to be bold and stubborn when the situation called for it.

He shook his head before turning back to the summoning circle. "No Ephraim, I'm doing this because you guys are my friends, I know that it wouldn't be right if I can't make do on any of my promises." He stated firmly causing the blue-haired lord to step back in minor shock before his expression was replaced with a grin. "Well, I guess there's no stopping you now is there, my friend." The white cloaked summoner shook his head amused, Eirika beside him giggled. "You know how stubborn he can be, brother. He is one of the best tacticians that we have ever seen before!" Kiran blushed at the compliment before turning away, his cheeks burning red.

"H-hey!" He stammered, causing the twins to laugh, the cloaked summoner soon joining in.

After their laughter died down Kiran took a deep breath before aiming the legendary weapon in the center of the summoning circle. "... Here goes..." He whispered to himself. Eirika and Ephraim watched as a brilliant light blasted from the Breidablik's intricately designed barrel as it struck the chiseled stone revealing a pentagonal structure. It was always an amazing sight, seeing the dull and lifeless grey stone illuminate with an array of brilliant colors.

The orbs appeared one at a time.

The first emanated a crimson red with a four-star constellation within its image, similar to that of a diamond.

The second was a light colorless, with the image of a six-star constellation resembling a hectagon.

The third was a vibrant forest green with the image of a pentagonal five-star constellation.

The fourth was yet another crimson red, the three could only watch as the final circle in the summoning wheel illuminated.

A sea blue orb with a four-star constellation came into view.

The trio's eyes grew wide in excitement. This was it, this was their last chance before they had to scrounge up more quests for orbs, Eirika squealed as she clung onto Kiran's and Ephraim's arms tightly as the two chuckled.

They stared at the blue orb for what could only be described as minutes as they were entranced by the orb's beauty. Kiran stepped forward before aiming the Breidablik and firing a light at its core.

It shattered.

Before a rift in space opened up forming a light as a figure materialized where the orb used to float.

A bright flash had caused Kiran to stumble back, the Renais twins had caught him from falling in time but he had recognized what that power represented.

It meant that this unit had been ranked as a five star.

The three could only watch in amazement as a familiar shade of blue entered their vision, cerulean blue eyes that expressed a mixture of confusion and surprise. A young lady with olive skin stood beside a dazzling white pegasus, holding an elegantly crafted spear.

"W-what? Where..." Her gaze turned to find the three looking at the girl with the same shocked expression. "Eirika, Ephraim, is that you?" The twins looked at each other before a grin spread to both of their faces. They leaped onto the blue haired girl, effectively tackling her while knocking her to the ground as they both exclaimed "Tana!"

The three burst into a fit of laughter as they were reunited. Kiran couldn't help but smile at the sight, he had taken notice of his closest friends' sadness upon learning that there weren't many familiar faces among the order but luckily, new additions to the roster have arrived in fair quantities.

But of course, he still had a job to do.

Walking up to the trio he cleared his throat. Eirika and Ephraim's eyes widened in surprise before they opened up the way for Kiran to step in front of her and they rose to stand beside them. Tana who was still on the floor had an expression of confusion until he saw the cloaked summoner and her gaze was filled with curiosity.

Smiling, Kiran offered a hand out to her as she gratefully and gracefully accepted. Pulling her up, Tana dusted herself off before noticing Eirika and Ephraim's chuckling as the three in front of her seemed to be discussing something as their voices were hushed. The hooded figure seemed to look hesitant and awkward but still had a smile on his face as they finally nodded to each other before their eyes turned back to her. Nodding to himself, Tana could swear that she could hear the figure whisper words of encouragement to himself as Kiran and Tana stood face to face before taking in a deep breath and put his hand in front of her.

"Welcome to the Order of Heroes, Tana."

Thanks for reading the first chapter of many in "Tana the Winged Princess"

I really enjoyed writing this and I can only imagine what the future has in store for these drabbles. (also just a note for anyone who is curious, no this doesn't have a regular schedule, I'll just update it whenever I come up with something, though I suppose writing something short is quite relieving and easy as opposed to my other story which is still quite fun to write.)

The chapters in this series probably won't be long and will just be some random stories of their adventures in the world of heroes but I hope you guys liked it. And I suppose that this pairing officially the first to grace Fanfiction dot Net.

I also happened to get the new summer Tana after I had spent my last 100 orbs and somehow got a perfect IV Tana.

If you are also hoping to summon on the banner, may Naga and I wish you great luck in your endeavors summoners!
