Chapter 3

It'd been a week since Allen turned 16, and he finally decided to summon himself a familiar. There were many reason, but a prominent one was the fact that a familiar could help him with his magic control and take a bit of the strain off his body. Of course, he was smart enough to do a summoning ritual outside the house. The teen was in the field away from the house, he'd memorized the spell and was ready; he would likely faint after the summoning, but it would be worth it. This is what he hoped. Taking off the items that restricted his magic, he closed his eyes ad began to speak. "Here my call being of power and beauty, respond and know me, arrive, and know me; your master. Allen Hatori!" from the ground erupted a large crystal flower. It opened only to reveal that it was empty. "What the—I'm sure I preformed the spell correctly." He sighed. "I know I did." The feel of something touching his left ankle caught his attention. Looking down he sported a surprised expression, he gently picked up the animal. A green frog, it had hopped out of the crystal flower. "A frog, I summoned a frog." He said bringing it up to eye level. "Hm, you have some powerful magic inside of you, so you must be some type of fae, right?" he asked. Silence reigned for a few minutes before it was broken.

"Y—yes." The frog stated. "I'm what you just said." It said nervously, it had the voice of a female. Allen laughed a bit.

"Hm, you're different from other fae, please show me your human form." He said putting her down. "I bet you're really pretty." He smiled. In a poof of smoke she transformed back into her normal form. The smoke cleared to reveal a young woman of rather modest build with long, straight, silvery hair and a narrow mouth, accentuated by a prominent black circle at each end, resembling the air sacs on a frog's mouth. She adorned thigh length black dress with a white polka dot pattern over what appears to be a dark gray blouse, black pants and knee-high white boots. The most obtrusive characteristic of her appearance is her distinctive orange hat with a frog-like face, which further reflects her amphibian theme. Allen now sported a wide smile. "I knew it, you are beautiful!" he exclaimed. The young woman smirked upon hearing his words, she prided herself in her looks. "I'm Allen Hatori, Mage in Training." He said introducing himself.

"Eruka Frog, I'm a Witch." She stated with pride. "You're a sorcerer?"

"No, I'm a Mage; there's a difference." He stated. "And you say that you're a Witch, but I can sense some fae inside you along with a little bit of human; that's strange." He stated. "You're unique, at least from my perspective." He said. "But enough about that, let's complete this spell." He said taking both her hands. Eruka was going to argue, but she felt a pull to him, almost as if she was compelled to help him. Various fae took notice and watched the soon to be complete spell; Eruka took notice of them. "Please repeat after me." Upon bringing out a safe amount of magic, Eruka followed suit.

"Tie now the silver thread."

Tie now the roots of our veins.

The holly, so that we may not be separated.

The ivy, so that we may not come apart.

Tie to the yew tree seven times.

Until the day the snake spits out its tail."

The two had been speaking in perfect unison, the sound of chains was heard while a circle of blue light surrounded them. The two were now bonded. A wave of emotions suddenly hit her like a wave. 'This feeling.' Allen let go of her hand. 'Ah, these are his feelings; it's all just so…' she couldn't describe how good she felt at the moment.

"This is surprising." Ariel said flying up to the two. "You summoned something new, she isn't from these lands or any other lands that I've heard of." The sight of Allen falling onto the ground made her sigh. "He pushed himself far just to summon you to this world." She stated. Eruka would soon learn the position she was in.

5 Days Later – Outskirts of England – Chise's Home

"Thank you, Silver." Allen said before eating his food, he'd woken up about 20 minutes ago, but couldn't get out of bed; he could barely walk for the time being. "So, how have you been while I was sleeping?" he asked.

"Good enough, considering my situation." Eruka stated. "So, now I'm bound to you; what do you plan on doing with me?" she asked, Chise told her that only Allen could answer that since she was his familiar.

"Well, since I'm still in training, I guess I need assistance while I use magic." He stated before explaining what he was, and why he needed her. This included assistance with various other tasks. "Basically, normal familiar tasks." He stated. "Any questions?"

"Yeah, have you ever heard of the DWMA or the Witch Realm?" she asked.

"No." he stated.

'That woman said the same thing, was I really summoned to another world?' this was a possibility, and likely considering everything that she'd learned over the past five days. 'At least I'm free of Medusa, that's a relief.' The snake witch had been using her with the threat of death, there had been snakes in her body, but Chise told her that there were was no foreign magic inside of her. Not anymore at least. Now she was bound to Allen instead of Medusa, she was going to be used again, but at least she wouldn't have to endanger her life again. Then again, she couldn't release her destructive instinct in this world; it was more like it was being suppressed. She looked to Allen who was still eating while fae surrounded him, they were naturally attracted to him just like Chise said. "Queen Titania, she's an interesting woman." She said changing the subject.

"Yeah, I like her." He stated. "She's really nice."

"Yeah, nice…"

"Should you bring any harm to that boy, I'll feed your corpse to my wolves, piece by piece." The older woman threatened, she was dead serious.

"Very nice." That woman seemed to favor Allen and Chise. "So, she invited you to the Fairy Kingdom, but you declined; why?"

"Hm, well because I'm too young; I want to experience this world before I make a big decision like that." They told him that he was always welcome if he ever changed his mind. "I'll admit though, my mom told me that it was a beautiful place and that I would like it there, but I still have my whole life ahead of me, so I've got time." Despite being a sleigh beggy, he planned on living for a long time. "You're asking a lot of questions, is there something you're dancing around?" he saw right through her.

"What's your plan for the future?"

"My plans for the future, I've never really thought about it." He stated. "I do want to see the world though, before I settle down; it sounds boring, but it's all that I can think of right now so give me some time to think on it." He really didn't know what he wanted, but he still planned on living a long life like his mother was doing; he would find a way.

"Just remember that I'm bound to you, I'd rather not die because of your careless actions." Eruka said, not wanting her life to end early because of the teen's bad decisions.

"You don't have to worry, I'll always think about you when I'm making certain life decisions; after all they will affect you too." He stated. "Hey, are you worried that I might make you preform indecent acts for me?" the young woman blushed and quickly backed away. "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person." He stated. "I'd never take advantage of you like that."

'You're a 16-year-old teenager with a beautiful young woman at your command, the thought must've crossed your mind at least once.' She silently said. "What now?" the teen was silent for a few moments.

"I'm not really sure, I mean I'm still learning, and all I really do is make short run deliveries for my mom." He stated. "I'm not exactly sure what you're expecting; not to mention I'm sure my mom told you about my little condition."

"You're lucky that I can fight." She stated. "Because, I'm going to have to protect you in order to stay alive."

"Sorry about this."

"Don't say that you're sorry, what's done is done sadly." She sighed before looking back to the teen. 'He doesn't seem that bad so far, but that can change if power goes to his head.' Something told her that if such a thing happened, then everyone would be in danger. Despite how he looked, she wouldn't lower her guard around the teen.
