I woke up the next morning and did what would soon become a regular routine as a summoner. Harvest items in my town, check on my units, and check what was new in the news. "Alright, everyone ready?" I asked my units. Selena and the squishies (surprisingly) nodded. "TO ADVENTURER'S PRAIRIE!" I yelled and we all ran to the battlegrounds. It wasn't that hard, we completed the thing in one day. Each time I completed a dungeon, I received something that looked like a rainbow diamond. "What are these?" I asked Tilith. "Those are gems, they're for rare summoning," I cocked my head to one side, "Rare summoning?" She sighed, knowing she would have to do more explaining, "Rare summons are units three stars or higher, you can only obtain these kinds of units through this (with a few exceptions)," I thought for a few moments, "Ok, I think I get it," "Great!" she said, "I'll show you where the gate is,"
Tilith took us to the summoning hall in the capital, Randall. "It's usually busy when there are new units, but lucky for us, there's not many people," When other people before me were done, I was taken into a black room. On the floor were five holes forming a circle. In the circle were writings in a weird language. "Well, it's worth a shot," I told myself. I placed the five gems I had in the holes and then stood back just in case. The gems started to glow and the light formed a golden gate. Unsure of what to do, I waited for a few seconds. Then I realized I had to touch the gate to open it. I lightly pushed on the gate; the doors automatically swung open.
A pirate with an axe emerged from the gate. He said with a smirk, "I am the axe captain! I see you have been waiting for me; you will not be disappointed!" Axe captain? I thought, that's way too anonymous, I NEED TO KNOW YOUR NAME DANGIT! Seeing the confusion on my face he chuckled, "I see you haven't heard of me, I'm Captain Mega. And you're name, love?" "Um, it's Aika," I said awkwardly. "Welcome to my squad…" I think…. I held out my hand, and he shook it HARD. A small "ow," escaped from my lips. "Sorry," Mega apologized, "when you're a pirate, you get those kinds of handshakes. Now, show me you're squad," I nodded and walked out with him.
"Hey, I'm back!" I said to Selena as I walked out of the room. "Great," she looked at Mega curiously, "I'm Selena, and you are…?" Mega smirked, "Captain Mega," Well, you're technically you're not a captain anymore since you're under MY wing. Then I realized Tilith was gone, "Um…where did Tilith go?" Selena sighed, "She got tired of waiting for you and went to the Cave of Flames. She said she'd meet us there tomorrow," Mega scoffed, "Sheesh, impatient much?" I let out a small laugh, "Yeah, Tilith's…like that I guess. Anyway, let's go home, I'm freaking tired," They both agreed and we started walking home.
"So…this...is...your squad…right?" Mega said awkwardly as he stared at my squad consisting of mainly squishies, except for Selena. I nervously laughed, "Hey, it isn't much, but it's only temporary," Mega gave a hearty laugh, "You're really interesting Aika, it's rare that I find summoners with as much spirit as you," "I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult," I said. He laughed again, "Alright, alright, enough with the jokes. Now, where do we go from here?" I opened my mouth to say something, but Selena said, "Tilith said she'd be waiting for us in the Cave of Flames; Aika, do you have a map?" "Uh, yeah, I do actually," I said as I pulled out the map of Mistral and laying it on the grass, "So we are…here," I put my finger on the dot that represented the town. "And the Cave of Flames is over here," putting my finger on the dot not very far from the town dot. "Well, at least it's not much of a trip," Selena said, "you could easily travel on horseback," I nodded, "So it's settled, we leave for the Cave of Flames tomorrow," I looked at Selena and Mega, "You two, get some rest for tomorrow, we clear?" They both nodded and I smiled. I retracted the map and got up, "Good night, guys," "Night," they both said in unison. I walked over to the cabin, went in my room, and flopped on my bed again. Just you wait, world, my squad and I will be ready for you.
A/N: Thanks for the review and the views, guys! :3
