Brave Frontier Warriors of Gaia

Chapter 5: It's not a dream

(Avril's P.O.V)

...ril...

...Avril...

...Master Avril are awake yet?

As soon as I heard Selena's voice, I was able to get my tired eyes to open after I fainted at the Nocturnal Forest. Once my vision finally began to clear up, I saw Selena and Lance were standing right beside me and Aem was currently...carrying me!? Just as I notice this, my face begins to heat up.

"Hey hey! You don't have carry me like this, Aem! Put me down!" I told him.

"This just the spousal method of carrying, master." Aem replied calmly.

"No it's not! It the bridal..." I thought about my answer for a second, "No wait, it's actually the same thing. But still, put me down!"

"As you wish, master." He said as he gently puts me back on my feet as if I was fragile.

"Thanks. By the way, if you guys are going start calling me 'master' for now on, I prefer you didn't. Just continue calling me 'Avril' please." I stated before I looked around where we were. I guess we're back at Gaia Supermarket. But how? And what happened when I was asleep?

"Hey you guys, what happened when I was asleep?" I asked them.

"Allow me to explain." Aem answered.

*~FLASHBACK~*
(Aem's P.O.V)

"Your new... Master?" She asked right before she fainted. Luckily, Vargas was able to catch her before she fell to ground.

"Hey, is she ok?" Grafl asked, worried.

Vargas replied with a sigh, "She's fine. Avril just got tired, so she fainted. No injuries anywhere."

"Cool."

"I honestly don't blame her." Selene added as she places her sword back into her sheath, "This was the first time she ever experienced a battle like this. Avril must have been overwhelmed by this."

"Oh dear! Is that young lady hurt?"

Just then, a familiar fairy flew right above us and gently hovered beside Master Avril.

"Titania?" Lance said to the fairy.

"There's no need to call me by my title. Just pronounce me as Jewel." She replies, "Anyways, is Summoner Avril injured anywhere? Shall I heal her?"

"No, Avril's ok. She's just a little tired, that's all." He reassures Jewel.

"Here Aem." Vargas said as he hands over Master Avril, who is still asleep, to me, "Carry her until we get home, ok?"

"Sure." I answered as I pick up Master Avril in the spousal method of carrying. Surprisingly, she's a lot heavier than she appears.

"Jewel, is there anyway you can create an exit for us?" Lance asked to Titania.

"A way out you say?" Jewel answered, "I can try, but you all has to go inside fast though. The portal will only hold for at least a minute."

And with a wavy of her small rapier sword, the same extra-large mirror appeared leaning against a tree.

"Thank you, Jewel." Lance thanked her before his inside the mirror. After him was Grafl, then Selena, and finally Vargas. The only person left was me. I gently griped onto Master Avril before I walked inside the mirror and exiting the Nocturnal Forest.

*~FLASHBACK END~*

(Avril's P.O.V)

"And that basically sums up from there." Aem finishes.

I guess it's not a dream after all.

"If all of this is true and I've seen and heard was real, how come now none of you told me earlier that I was a summoner or that you all were my great grandmother's units?" I asked them.

"Well..." Vargas started off, "Lance did told us before that his weapon, Drevas, sense that you might be our true master. But we wasn't fully sure if that was true or not."

"Wait!? You mean to tell me that a grass spear can actually talk!?" I asked surprisingly.

"No. It only talks to Lance. Drevas is a demon spear that is a part of Lance." Vargas answered

"And this is our second reason." Selene continued as she showed me the front side of her hand that had a blue glowing tattoo on it. The tattoo was drawn in some kind of magical summoning sign but with a eight corner star in the middle.

"Whenever this sign glows, it means that our true master is either near one of us or he/she is summoning us."

"You should have the sign too, Avi." Grafl pointed out.

"What sign?" I asked them as I check myself, "I don't see it any-"

I stopped at that point before I notice in the mirror that my right eye had the same tattoo that Selena wore.

I screamed. "HOW IN THE WORLD DID THIS GET INTO MY EYE!"

Lance quickly covered my mouth to block my scream.

"News flash, we're still in the supermarket filled with people." He told me and pointing out that I was attracting attention, "Let's take this conversation somewhere else."

*~Brave Frontier~*

It didn't took too long to take the conversation at the Food Palace food court. In fact, we were only right behind it after all. But along the way there, Selena and Aem explained to me about who they were and about what this sign mean. Apparently, they're known as 'units' and they were part of the war between the four gods and the six kingdoms. But after the war was over, they said that they were transported to a different time year and that they stayed there for the next 14 years. Also, the sign that was on my eye, it was great grandmother's summoner sign that showed ownership to her units. She swore herself in a magic spell that when I was born, I would have to take her place as the new summoner. I sorta understood the whole explanation, except for one thing...

"How did I summoned you guys before?" I asked them.

"What do you mean?" Grafl asked before taking a sip of his soda.

"At the Nocturnal forest. How was I able to call you guys when I was in another dimension?"

"Simple. Do you still have that device that Jewel gave you?" Selena answered.

I search in both of my pockets and pulled out the device from my right side. "Yeah, why?"

"Usually the summoner would select the unit card first, next he or she pulls out the card from the device and swipe it downward or across the screen, and finally the summoner says the spell and the name of the unit in the card. However, you were able to do that without using any of those steps."

"Gee, that's a lot to remember in battle." I commented.

"Practice makes perfect.~" Vargas said.

I groaned.

Hey great grandmother Cynthia. Can you here me from heaven right now? I don't know what you have in plan for me, but I can clearly see that my life will never be the same.
