Chapter 1

Louise comes over to me and I look at her. "How did you do that back there" Louise asked. "What the rune that I used is that what your asking about" I asked. She nods her head and I sigh. "Follow me I need to show you something anyway" I said heading to her room. We enter it and I look at her. I take my cloak and shirt off to reveal my entire upper body covered in runes.

"What the heck i've never seen or heard of anyone with so many runes" Louise said. "Yeah well when I complete every fifty missions I got a new rune so I have around one hundred runes of my own and the one that burned into my skin when you kissed my forehead" I said. "I count 102 different runes so why did you say you had only one hundred" Louise asked.

"Because the last rune is very powerful and I only use it if I need to" I said. I put my shirt and cloak back on. I look back at Louise's face and see it red. "i'm going to guess so don't yell but did counting my runes make you blush" I asked. "Well its because your body it's so muscular and you have a twelve pack wait why am I saying this" Louise said.

"I don't know i've never had this problem before" I said as I toss my hood over my head. I hear a knock on the door and a student walks in. "Louise you and your familiar are to head to the headmaster right away" she said. Louise nods her head and we exit the room. We head to the headmaster's room and I take my hood off. Louise knocks on the door and we hear a voice to come in.

We enter and stand in front of the old man. Well he's actually quite young compared to me when you consider what I am. "Louise and what's the name of your familiar" he asked. I step forward and say in a gentleman voice "My name is Vincent Red-moon Skull Von Sacredstone nice to meet you headmaster Osmond". "How do you know my name I haven't said it yet" Osmond asked.

"Rune 9 orb of info appear" I said with my hand extended. A rune on my chest lights up and a orb appears in my hand. "I've gathered basic information on everyone here since I appeared out of nowhere and that includes race gender name age hair color eye color and that's it I didn't use the measurement scan so I don't have info on those things because it goes against my rules and morals" I explained.

"I see so you have info on everyone" Osmond said. "Yes and that includes your uniqueness I also made a map of the layout in the orb that connects to my brain when its active and deactivated" I said as the orb disappears. The light of the rune on my chest goes away. "I called you here today to ask you about why you give off a different aura then a human" Osmond asked.

I place my hand on the back of my head and say "Sorry can't tell you that yet I have to trust you more and make sure this place is secure". "I see go on leave i'm not gonna stop you" Osmond said. I follow Louise out of the room and to her room. "What did he mean by a different aura then a human" Louise asked. "I'm not human that's all I can say within safe parameters" I said.

Louise lays down on the bed and I sit down on the floor. I fall asleep and my runes start burning me for saying i'm not human. "General Skull you better not say anymore for sometime but use the runes whenever you consider its needed" Hades said in my mind. "I understand my Lord Hades it will be done" I said. "Good now your going to have a talent show prepare for it bye my general" Hades said before fading away.

I wake up with a jolt and sweat running down my face. I see Louise looking at me from the bed hiding under the covers. I wipe the sweat away and toss the hood over my head. I close my eyes as I face the floor. I hear the dresser open and she starts changing. After sometime she comes over to me and tap me on the shoulder.

I look up at her and see concern in her eyes. "Are you okay all of your runes were lit up when I woke up and it looked like you were in pain" Louise asked. "I'm fine its my punishment for something I did in the past my runes burn my muscles but not the skin" I said getting up. "Are you sure your okay I can't have you dying on me" Louise asked.

"I'm fine where are we heading" I asked. "To classes and I don't know if you'll blend in with those clothes" Louise said. "Rune 41 invisibility hide me from prying eyes veils of colors" I said before disappearing from sight. "Where did you go Vincent" Louise asked. "I'm still in front of you I haven't moved a single inch since I used the rune" I said.

She heads out the door and I follow her. I close the door and follow her to class. I lean against the wall as the class begins. I watch and catalogue all of the spells into my orb. I dodge the people who pass by the place i'm standing at. After several hours the class ends and everyone files out of the room. I dodge out of the door before any of the students.

I lean against the wall and wait for Louise who blew herself up. I see her walk out and I head over to her. I use Rune 31 restoration and return Louise back to the way she was this morning. She begins looking around and I pat her on the head. "Hey there do you like my restoration rune little miss" I asked. "So that was you who restored my entire appearance to the way it was this morning" Louise said.

"Louise talking to yourself how lame" Kirche said laughing. "Rune 30 ice of Shiva come forth and freeze this hothead solid" I whispered. I fire ice at her and she becomes incased in a block of ice. "Now that is what I call a instant-cold" I said as I take rune 41 down. "Agreed its about time that hothead got what was coming for her" Louise said as we head off.

I see her salamander walk up to the block of ice and start thawing her out. We walk to the dining hall and I ask "Is the rest of the day going to be used to bond with the familiars". Louise nods her head and enters the hall. I exit the building all together and see a wind dragon sitting with Tabitha. I walk over to the wind dragon and sit down facing its face.

The dragon lifts its head up and stares at me. "Hello there wind dragon my name is Vincent what's yours my lady dragon" I asked. "So far only my partner Tabitha here can talk to me oh my name is Sylphid your a interesting character I can tell you aren't a commoner" she said. "Yeah i'm not human but doesn't mean I don't care for humans" I said. "I see I care for humans as well most of all Tabitha my partner" Sylphid said.

"I can tell from your sisterly bond between you two" I said. "Thanks for that no one talks that much due to me being a dragon" Sylphid said. "That's sad your a kind dragon why would anyone not want to talk to you" I asked. "I know right Sylphid is one of the ones I can talk to without having to be quiet about anything" Tabitha said.

"Tabitha hey there have you been listening in on our conversation the whole time" Sylphid asked. "Yes I have Sylphid I stayed quiet to see if Vincent here wanted to harm you or any of us" Tabitha said. "Well to tell the truth I froze Kirche after she insulted my partner by calling her lame even though I was in the classroom the entire time" I said.

"You were but I didn't see you anywhere in class" Tabitha said. "I was invisible Tabitha but I was there" I said. "I think Kirche had it coming for sometime so I don't think its a problem" Tabitha said. "Was her familiar frozen" Sylphid asked. "No the familiar is thawing her out" I said. "Okay then I don't have a problem" Sylphid said.

"Thanks besides the ice has a certain amount of time before it turns into water that will collapse inward on Kirche so she's going to get a cold at most and the ice has just turned into water" I said. "Who was the one that froze me in ice" Kirche said as fire lights up a table. "Okay maybe she is not going to get a cold" I said. "No kidding she's breathing fire" Sylphid said.

I stand up and pat Sylphid on the head. I walk toward the group that escaped from Kirche's wrath. I see Louise standing away from the group so I head over to her. "Little mistress I didn't know this would happen" I said. Louise shakes her head and I sigh. "I'm not blaming you after all I enjoyed the time she was frozen" Louise said.

"Okay so I heard that there's going to be some sort of contest between us and the other second years during class is that true" I asked. "Yes it is true but I think we will take first place" Louise said. "I do have a rune combination that is quite dazzling" I said as we walk. "Well then I bet we don't have to prepare to win it then" Louise said.

"I need to prepare the runic symbol in my mind during the next few days to use the combo" I said. "Well if that's all you need to do then we can relax a bit" Louise said. "I'll give you this now that we're away from everyone else you must be stronger then anyone else in this entire academy grounds to summon me" I said. "What do you mean by that" Louise asked.
