Story starts
Let's see what he is doing right now. Hmm. " It is possible to do it Leadrieth, but I cant seem to do it today again. "
Who is he talking to? Who is Leadrieth? I can hear him and someone else but I cant hear the other person well.
"Oh come on now master. Let's do it again." Leadrieth said panting slightly. "I cant. I'm too tired. Let me catch my breath for a minute." He said.
N-n-no matter, I felt my cheecks flush. I just need to tell him to keep it a secret and hopefully he won't be scared of me. I don't want to lose another friend. I thought sadly. I checked all over the house to see if his father is here. Nope. Thank god. I dont like that creep. I walked straight up to the front door to knock, but before I could raise my hand, the door opened.
In front of me was Neo. He was about a head taller than me, blue eyes, clean cut hair, some muscles on his body. He's wearing just a t - shirt and shorts. "Hey Taylor. How are you?" He said awkwardly, looking tired . I just stared at him evenly without saying anything at all. I just raised an eyebrow. I heard a smacking sound from the back of his head.
" Oh my, I cant believe you would say something that dumb master." Leadrieth said inside the house. He sighed, looking apologetic.
I looked over his shoulder to see a really attractive woman. My brain stalled by what I'm seeing. She looks like a high class hooker. Her dress is an open front dress, a sultry bodice, with a really short skirt and high heels all in black. I looked back at him wanting an explanation about her and why she called him 'master'. All I got was a exasperated sigh, like he couldn't be bothered.
One winter day.
I followed my mother across a snowy field. It was cloudy. Snow poured out of the cloudy sky. It became the pouring snowstorm, my mother's back, was a shadow-like haze.
Mom! Mom why are you walking ahead of me?! Wait up mom. " She kept moving. I became afraid.
Mom stop! Wait for me! My mother's shadow was still far away. Mom! As I stopped, my voice became a little stronger. yet she got a little farther away. Before long, the shadow of my mother was buried in the blizzard and disappeared into the snowfield. I reached out my hand one last time trying to reach her. Then something bright caused me to open my eyes.
Arghh the sun it hurts. I say while sitting up in bed feeling something soft in my hand. "Mmmm, good morning master. You were such a beast last night.'
"What? " I looked down and saw something that shocked me speachless. Leadrieth was in my bed... naked with my hand on her breast. I involuntarily squeezed it. It felt soft yet firm and warm. Though she has the covers protecting her body I can still feel her smooth silky legs intertwined with mine and I freaked out. "What are you doing?! In my bed!?;
'Well what do you think a man and a woman would do together in bed, naked? You were holding me so tight I couldn't breathe. Did you dream of me after we were done? I can see your ready to go again, master.' She said breathlessly while looking down at me. After a few seconds of me stammering, she said while laughing, 'Hahaha the look on haha your haha face. It's so funny. Haha. It's beet red. In all seriousness though, you were crying in your sleep. It must have been a bad dream. I decided to help you feel better by singing a song for you. Do you want to hear it?'
"Yeah why not. " I said while trying to calm down. I rubbed my eyes trying to get the crust out. While I was doing that, I heard a beautiful voice sing. ( You'll Be in My Heart by Celtic Woman)
It made me unknowingly start crying when she started to sing. When she finished, she smiled gently at me. It was as if she was a different person then. You may notice this when first meeting Leadrieth, she's selfish, perverse, possessive and has a temper which is just the tip of the iceberg. Let alone the fact she's also agonizing, egocentric and devious, but their effects are at least lessened by impulses of being organized as well. She will let down her barriers with people she trust and can be nice and caring. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on who you ask, her perversions often spoils the fun that may have come from those traits.
'What do you think master? Don't I have a wonderful voice?' She asked with hopeful eyes waiting for my response.
I said "Of course it is. Thank you for singing to me. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to shower. " As I left my room, if I looked back I could have seen a single year dropping down from her face or heard her say 'Thank you.' She disappeared from my bed without a sound.
After bathing I made a sandwich. 'Ok now let's see how this works.' I thought while going back to my room on the bottom floor. It's hard to describe but it's like there is a portal in my minds eye that only I can see. When I go through, there is a sacred temple. Outside of the temple is a plain with forests as far the eyes could see. All around me I can feel the air vibrations of familiar creatures. While they seem curious and amicable, for now I simply kept my distance. I can make out tiny humanoid creatures, enormous humanoid creatures, and what I think might be feathered creatures in the distance.
It's weird. Its like I know this place but I can't remember why. Before I could ponder it anymore, I heard a familiar voice calling me. "Master, your finally here. What took you so long. I miss teas ... I mean I missed you" Leadrieth said while jumping at me. I dodged it. I don't want to be teased again. Leadrieth pouted as she missed me.
"Master it's good to see you again. It's been a while. " Crellonia the Amazonian Queen said with a small smile.
"Thanks for you help and giving me a pept talk." As I look around, I saw Nilerea standing guard next to her amd two women examining me. For some reason they both look happy to see me as if meeting their old friend for the first time after a long while. The first is a dryad.
Daisae is a dryad who has a slender and shapely body. Her hair is chestnut, with green leaves intertwined, her eyes are green, her skin tone can be described as similar to humans, though it is forest-like tint of olive green.The light green dress she is wearing covers her shoulders almost fully and flows down into a stylish draped neckline. It's a loose fit which gives the dress a relaxed, yet graceful look. Her arms have been left uncovered. The dress reaches all the way down to her feet and is slightly longer at the sides. She's wearing stilettos.
To top it off there is an intricate patterns of vines all over the dress.
The second one is Melissa Chilton. She has long pale golden hair shined brightly as it reflected the light the of the sun. She is wearing a flowing robe that look as if they're made out of specks of pure starlight that flow past her feet, turning into a small river as it touches the ground. Her sandals is fashioned from a single long, forked leaf: which curled the toes of these sandals, while the forked ends wrap up the calf. Her dress is a forest green priestess slit skirt.
"So do you know why this world is familiar master?" Melissa asked. I looked around the area confused.
" I should? Hmmm... sorry no I can't remember but it is familiar. Can I ask why you guys are calling me master?"
Haaaah they all sighed in exasperation. Daisae spoke up, "It's because you gave us life master. We all were just a part of your imagination when you were a kid. You didn't have any friends so you created us. We all were children who played together in the forest. We had a lot of fun. Don't you remember?" She asked sadly.
"No, no I do it's just you don't look like yourselves at all. You look ol... I mean more mature now." I said panicking . Its true though, they grew up and now are in their mid twenties. I remember them as the same age as me which was 6 yrs old.
"This world represents your imagination. Anything you can thing of will be created here. All the spells, trap cards, Magic cards and monster cards will be created here using the lights. They will all live here." Crellonia told me.
"Do you know how it works? How do I do it? " I asked.
"No I dont. Me either master. Oh master, I know you think highly of me but I don't know. Use your mind?" Was the responses I received when I asked them. Ok, I should have figured that, but still I had to ask. Ok, let's see.I focused on one of the lights as I close my eyes and imagined a man with big muscles and a sword next to him. *Bang*
'Arghh' I felt a sharp pain in my head. It was so sudden that I fell on my butt. "Master!? Are you alright?!" They asked surprised and scared.
"What happened? What caused that? Do you know? "
"No I tried to create a monster card, but it didn't work. Let me try something different." I said. This time I am imagining a man with a robe and a staff.
Bang*
'Arghh' not again. This time I was ready and barely staggered.
Haah*
"It didn't work.''
"Hmmm why don't you try a female this time? " asked Melissa thinking of something.
"Ok I'll try it. " I said.
This time I imagined a female when I touched the light, but each time I imagine a worrior with a sword instead I get a woman with wings.
A sudden shock-wave and complete, calming silence mark the coming of an angel. Stepping out of the sunlight, a slim being with hidden eyes stands in front of us. Her gaze turns to me for a moment, it fills me with an immense sense of awe. Four elegant, fluffy wings let through a few beams of light. Her slim body glides in a careful manner and is clad in shining armor. She hold a scepter in one hand, a gentle, humming sound can be heard from it.I take a final glance at her face; a happy smile is visible. With a gentle hand movement a cloak is conjured on her back.
"Hello master. It's nice to meet you. My name is Cathetel." She said as if she was singing. She knelt down on one knee ready to do what she can for me.
"Just as I expected! It only works for female monsters." Melissa said, not at all surprised but everyone else is.
"Do you know why that is? " I asked.
"It could be because of your subconscious." She replied.
"Why?" Remember when you were young, you idolized your mom like she was a cape. I nodded. She didn't give up at the end when she passed, but your father did. He became a bad guy. So when you created us, your subconscious thinks that women are better than men as capes. I think that's why you can only make female capes. "
" Really? "
"Or maybe you just want to see women in skin tight clothing jumping and moving around." Leadrieth said in a stage whisper. The looks I get from the rest of the women was disappointed.
"My oh my, master you have wicked thoughts." Cathetel said shocked.
"T-t-that's not true. Stop teasing me, Leadrieth. It's not funny. " I pouted but they laughed.
Buzz Buzz buzz*
Hmm? What's that noise? We looked up. In the sky there is a timer that's counting down.
1:20 pm (24:00:00)
23:59:59
23:59:58
23:59:57
What does that mean? I looked at the lights counting how many is left. 8 left. "I think it might mean that when it reaches 0:0:0 then I will have one light or that it'll fill up all the way to 10, maybe." I said thoughtfully.
"Well, we'll just wait and see what happens." said Melissa.
"Ok enough chitchat. now go back out and summon one of us in the basement. I want to know how it works" Leadrieth said impatiently. I rolled my eyes.
''Ok fine. let's see...'' I imagined the same door. It opened up and I walked through it.
I arrived back home. I checked the time. The same amount of time passed. That could be useful. Lets go to the basement and see how I can summon them. I walked down the old basement. There is nothing new in here, just a chute, a window on the top right corner and a lot of spiderwebs.
Let's see. I closed my eyes as I see the 8 remaining lights. I touched one. I took it in my hand and I picture Leadrieth. I feel words coming out of my mouth without my input as I raised my hand palm facing foward.
Come now Mistress of darkness,
I call for you to appear before me,
Suddenly a summoning circle appears before me. It started out small as I continued to chant it got bigger, with unknown words forming inside.
The one I call friend and family
The one that is queen of all,
Vampiress Leadrieth Dawnwing
I summon you
Suddenly there was a bright light flashing infront of me where the circle was. I felt 2 spheres drained when I finished the chant. There she stood. Her eyes looking at me, a playful smile on her face, waitng for me to say something. She is wearing different clothes. She has Open front dress with a sultry bodice, and a collar with a long red cape.
"What took you so long master? I was bored you know. You shouldn't keep a lady waiting you know?" She said raising a finger and wagging it at me.
"Why did your clothes change?" I asked surprised. She just rolled her eyes.
"I forgot how annoying you are. Let's see if you can summon more of us or not." I nodded. I raised my hand and touched the orbs again. I waited for a few minutes but nothing happened.
"I got nothing. It seems to not work for now. I'll try again later."
Leadrieth looked disappointed. "Oh well now let's do something fun." she said in a sultry voice. She stalked forward towards me as I backed up afraid.
"I need an adult." I said backing away from her.
"Dont worry master, I am an adult." She pounced and landed on me as we fell through the floor and landed on my bed. Leadrieth started kissing my neck. The next thing I knew, I felt pleasure.
