Nyxana: Introducing two new OCs" today!

Wynter belongs to TheRunAwayPanda, and Dylan belongs to greyxhero.

Arias: Enjoy! Criticism is welcome, but only constructive. Oh and the list of taken units are:

Rinon, Ciara, Kafka, Lyud, Lune, Dolk, Diana, Quaid, Raaga, Zenia, Selena, Libera, Michele, Melchio, Sefia, Rineth, Reis, Vargas, Ruby, Aurelia, Lance, Bestie…

"Summoner Nyxana."

"L-lord Lucius. Why have you come, god of the gate?"

"I am asking you to help me with a very important mission. Slay the Four Fallen Gods. You know who I'm talking about. My disciple will meet you at Adventurer's Praire."

"Yes. Of course."

Nyx opened her eyes, feeling a strange wave of nausea. Visits from the God of the Gate were…uncommon to say the least, foreboding to say the most.

Pop!

Nyx glanced over at the person who had appeared-her unit, Chrome.

"Chrome, sweet, get the others. And tell Aaron that if I see him flashing lights in the windows whenever Alice and Yuura kiss, he doesn't get my new Occult Treasure."

"Yes, Milady."

Just as they were packing at the Summoner Village, Nyx noticed Aaron's edginess.

"Aaron? What's wrong?"

"I-I sense something…unearthly. Mistress, you have to be on guard. Maxwell is resourceful, and she will stop at nothing to prevent her downfall. So will the other Fallen Gods."

As if on cue, a large, blazing axe spun almost casually towards Nyxana. Shadow strings, manifesting from her wrists, entangled the axe and absorbed its energy.

Gazia and Aaron shielded the other attackers, namely Avant and Chrome.

"Show yourself! The younger brother of Bariura's emperor commands you!" Chrome called out.

"Hehe, as if I'd expose the likes of me to lowlife such as you." A figure appeared on the rooftop, a floating man wielding a large blade.

"Keep taking them. I'll always have more." He chuckled.

The man was taller than Nyxana, maybe about six feet, and he jumped down, before swinging the axe at her. Chrome and Avant immediately shot their blade and scythes upwards, blocking him.

"Lady Nyx! This…this energy! It's like nothing I've ever sensed before!" Avant screamed. The man laughed.

"Let us end this, once and for all. True Technique: Void Mat-UGH!"

A bolt of flame enveloped the man, searing him. Almost for good measure, a single blade poked through his ankle. The man yelled, his black robe in flames, screaming as he rolled around. "This isn't over, Reiz! I'll get you!" With a loud POP, he disappeared, revealing a young girl.

She had long crimson hair that fell to her thighs and amber eyes that glittered coldly and calculatively. The girl wore a crimson tank top, black leggings, and ankle laceup boots. There were two slits in her boots, each glittering slightly. One was still retracting the bloody silver blade. She had a fair skin tone and seemed about five-foot-seven.

"Who are you? Why did you help us?" Nyx inquired, puzzled about the new girl.

"My name…is Wynter. Just Wynter. And I helped you because…well…something told me to do so. Maybe I have a deep hatred for him. Maybe I used to know you. Who knows…and who cares?"

"We don't believe you. You could be one of them, for all we know." Nyx said. Wynter gazed calmly at her. "Look at his attack style. People like him…cannot summon units. They have not taken the blood of the jewel god himself, Skriva. They cannot wield gems. Your unit, Aaron, must know, should he not?"

"Aaron?"

"…Yeah. He didn't have Summoner blood flowing through his veins."

Nyx crossed her arms.

"So that brings us to the real question. Wynter, who are you?"

"Simple. I'm from Akras Summoner's Hall. Thirty-fourth division, captained by Owen himself. I have proof."

"Wait…what?"

(sneak peek at next chapter)

"My name's Sefia! It's great to meet you, but promise me we can stop that evil demoness girl!"

"Of course…my first unit. I will help you stop her and destroy her, if necessary."

"Can we start now?"
"Eeeh…maybe another time. You're only Five Stars now. I will wait until I unlock your full potential!"

"Okay then…and I never asked. What is your full name, exactly?"

"Well…my name is Dylan Arkbalde."
