[Chapter Two -Troubles of a Succubus and Familiars]

A new day has begun and Erik stretched out from his bed and began rubbing the crust from his eyes. Oh how he wished he could sleep in longer, but he pulled himself out of bed and was garbed in a flame print pajama pants with skulls on his knees and a black tank top. His room was three. In the center of a noble looking bedroom with a queen size bed with a large cylinder blue pillow and black sheets, a red carpet laid out amongst the floor. To the right of the bed was a series of books, some looked to be times of magic on one shelf and the second shelf seemed to be ordinary study books. On the wall above his bed was a portrait of his mother holding him as a child.

Facing from the book shelves was a deal and a red belt cushioned chair. To the far wall was a wardrobe. A pair of dark wood double doors with a carved door frame was presented as was a fireplace that was almost out. Going to the fireplace he pushed one of the carvings eyes and part of the wall opened up to reveal a hidden room. Stepping inside reveals a staff enchanter, an Alchemy Table, an Imbuing Chamber, an altar of spell making and a complete forge set up with a fletching area and a jewelry set up. The room was circular and had every station in the room that was two-hundred and fifty in square footage. The room also had a place for sewing and wood work surprising anyone. Opening his lockbox on top of the area he pulled out a Nordic amulet, but it was made from ebony with quicksilver infused into the edges and the Stalhrin was scarlet blood red.

Walking out of the hidden room he stretched and looked at the portrait before climbing up on his bed and pressed a portion of the frame as another compartment on the wall opened up and revealed a katana. Grabbing it, he unsheathed it and started taking a few practice swings with it. It was an Akaviri katana, but unsheathing the blade revealed a dark bluish gray blade with a swastika guard and a black and white handle with a broken chain. Sheathing the blade itself he grabbed the blade and sheath whole as it looked to be made from black dragon scales and changed into his uniform and tied the sword to his back waist. Sullivan saw him emerging from the hall and came rushing forward and shouted: "Good morning Iruma-kun!"

He sighed as it was too damn early for this. Looking at the elderly demon's smiling face he said: "Come Opera has prepared breakfast for us."

Once in the dining hall, Sullivan asked: " Have you slept well?"

Chuckling he said: " Pretty well actually, much better as of late."

Sullivan smiled and said: " I am quite surprised, you usually are a reserved child, hardly ever seem to seek out trouble or get involved with it."

Erik bit into a piece of bacon and said: " When someone starts something with me or attacks me, I'll respond with just as much of a threat as they pissed at me, and hardly the only ones who are actually worth a fight are the senior students, the staff, Opera and you gramps.*

The man smiled and said: "I've also heard you made a friend with a Ms. Moka, she is the third in line of the Shuzen Family, who are known to be one of the most powerful vampire families and who are direct descendants of the first vampire of our realm and Dracula."

Erik frowned, unlike Vampires back home, there was no cure to curing the vampirism here as this was not a magical issue, well only Dracula knows how he became a Vampire, the first Vampire and he had three wives. They sired many children but the children scattered across the world as he was hardly ever seen. Soon enough it was time for school, and upon arrival as Opera had dragged Sullivan off to do his job, Erik stepped into campus and was immediately given the stares of his fellow peers. Not even a minute later he was glomped on by none other than Moka who said happily: "Morning Erik!"

Every male student and female student gaped in jealousy seeing the scene. He had a full look as she hugged his arm between her breasts. Walking away the duo came face to face with Alice Asmodeus who looked delighted to see Erik again and said: "Erik-sama!"

Erik sighed and said: "Please stand Alice, come on we are going to be late for the familiar summoning."

Moka then asked: "Familiar summon?"

Alice nodded his head and said: "It is a traditional event in Babyls Academy. They will determine the students rank by measuring the strength of their familiar after they complete the summoning. After this event, the students rank will be done by their school performance. "

Erik nodded and said: " Originally it was just demons who could do this, but yokai's own energy, which is mana base, can also do it as well. So there is no favoritism at all in play."

Entering the summoning room many freshmen had gathered and Moka looked nervous and Erik patted her on her shoulder and said: "It'll be fine Moka, don't worry. "

She nodded and stayed close to his side. Unknowingly a girl with shoulder-length light ocean blue hair that is tied in a ponytail with a purple maid headband that has one gold star on the left side, deep purple eyes, thick long black eyelashes and large breasts, her hair was a light ocean blue. She wore the Babyls uniform for girls, but her top was slightly baggy and she wore a pale yellow coloured vest. Her eyes narrowed up on Moka as she snarled and said: "Get away from him."

Alice then said with Erik looking bored: "I do find it odd that our class will be determined by this event. The curator of this event is also a famous teacher. "

The doors swung open and everyone looked onward and saw the said person entering. The man has short, deep purple, cropped hair with a long fringe and side swept wing style. He wears a long purple cloak under a short purple shoulder capulet with white trimming and a studded purple belt. His fingernails are black. He has a tall, lean frame and is often seen scowling. He wears the traditional Babyls' Teachers uniform. This was Kalego Naberius as he said: "Keep silent! My name is Kalego Naberius, I am the one who is in charge here. The school authorities always entrust this even to me. You know why? Because my face looks as if I am always serious. I'll judge whether or not you are trash or I can still find you useful. For example…" he stood before the trio and said: "For example, the ones who rely on their grandparents position, and chanted some various dangerous spell in the sanctuary without permission…" he looked at both Moka and Alice before saying: "Or some punks who picked a quarrel with each other on that day."

Moka backed away and Erik stood in front of her and said: " Not her fault the faculty allowed a sexual predator on school campus, what does that say about the teachers who were supposed to be watching such criminals why they attend."

The duo locked eyes as both had a stare down. Kalego turned away and said: "In short, competent students will be forced to withdraw from school if they fail."

Moka grabbed his hand tightly and Erik remained impassive by this. After explaining the procedure and demonstration what needed to be done. Everyone began their summoning. Alice was a large bull horned white snake with a flaming tipped tail and two large wings of a bat or a dragon. Erik then said: "Not bad Alice."

Moka nodded and Alice replied: "Thanks for the compliment."

Kalego then thought: 'A Gorgon Snake, known for its beauty and powerful flames, suits the heir of Asmodeus himself. I can't believe he suffered a defeat at the hands of the honor student, but his results did come back late and it showed he was even better than Asmodeus and much more skilled. We will soon see about that.

Soon enough he triggered the summoning and a blast of magic erupted and threw everyone back and shook the very school, Sullivan and all the staff looked toward where the freshmen were as a large beacon of light shot upward and soon grew thinner. From the light a four massive shadows loomed. The light died down to reveal four dragons of various differences. The first Dragon resembled a red chicken with a beak and had heterochromia like eyes one being red the other green, it's under scales where a darker shade of red and the large bone like horns coming off it's body and a ribcage on the front holding colorful orbs. The second dragon was a black and purple serpentine looking dragon with arms and legs and orbs on its wings that resembled strange mecha wings and a large tusk coming from its chin as it had bright yellow eyes. He also had some armament on his chest, arms, legs and had a fork-like tail.

The third was a futuristic looking dragon with a white serpent like body with black under scales in-between the white scales. The dragon looked to be a mechanical creation with it covered in white, blue, black and had green wings made of light emerging from its forearms and jet boosters in its feet, but that was just it being all natural. Its white eyes shone as this creature looked to be bioengineered from a distant future. But the last dragon looked to be the most disturbing one of them. The dragon had large purple armaments on its dark green scale like body and had large jagged claws with orbs adoring its body with a hook like tail and its orange eyes glowed. Red scales came down from the neck to the edge of its tail and looked like a poisonous plant.

The red one said: "Kolos mu dii zeymah ahrk briinah?/Where are my brother and sister?"

The dark one replied: "Zu'u dreh ni mindok lil zeymah, mu los ni amongst un fron. Nuz Zu'u dreh sahlon gein do un zeymah lov./I do not know lil brother, we are not amongst our kin. But I do smell one of our brothers nearby."

The white one replied saying in a feminine tone: " Wo krylon bel mushir kahler dovah, vahlok do un bormah! Tinvaak nu uv aus un bah!/Who dares summon the four heavenly dragons, guardians of our father! Speak now or suffer our wrath!"

Erik then said in fluent dov replying: "Zu'u drey ni seik wah bel hi dii kahliir zeymah ahrk briinah. Zu'u los zomaar krosis, fah hi koraav Zu'u los ko mith do conjuring korvan wo fen frey zey ko dii aluntiid vergrav./I didn't mean to summon you, my celestial brothers and sisters. I am terribly sorry, for you see I am in the middle of conjuring an alley who will aid me in my future endeavors."

They looked down and the purple one sniffed him and said with a feminine tone: "Drem yol lok goran yunkin. We have never had this happen to us, for you see we are the four heavenly dragons protectors placed throughout the course of time. I handle the past, my sister handles the future while my elder brother handles the very beginning and my younger brother handles the very end of time itself so it may begin anew and our job continues. Zu'u sahlon sos do ek kosil hi. Why are you here, beyond our fathers watchful eye?"

Erik replied: " Circumstances beyond our control. But I am sorry for summoning you my dragon brethren."

The dark one stood up and said: " It is a fine dragon child, to know our lost sibling is alive brings great comfort to us. Our father was furious about your disappearance from his sight, but it seems your mother's kin has taken you in."

Thus the red replied: " Now we must return to our duties young one, we do help our father hovern time after all. Call for us if you need our aid, we sense a mighty storm approaching. Farewell brother. Your supposed spell on us has taken effect for you do not need to use our names to summon us."

The others nodded and faced one another. The four dragons roared and burst into a red, black, purple and white light and vanished. Erik looked at the audience and all gaped as everyone was dead silent. There were dragonoid demons, descendants of actual dragons and lizardmen as well, but to form a pact with a dragon is nearly impossible let alone four was impossible and unheard of. Kalego stared at him with utter shock, seeing this. Next was Moka's turn and she somehow summoned Kalego, forcing him to come out as a giant puffball of flying pup and Moka and the girls gushed seeing this and it became a massive issue.

The contract could not become undone and thus Kalego was even more furious and threw them out of class. Erik saw Alice had some urgent business elsewhere and left him and Moka alone. Moka then said to him: "Erik. I know it must be lonely being the only human here. But I am here for you. And if there is anything I can do, just ask me."

He smiled and patted her head and said: " It's fine Moka, honestly nothing feels different for me. Through my acquaintances, that was something wild."

She nodded and pondered: " I wonder? Why did I summon Sensei though?"

He shrugged and said: "Don't know, but boy was it funny."

He started to laugh and slap his knee as she giggled. Continuing onward walking the duo stopped by a bench with a vending machine and Erik grabbed a tomato and orange juice and tossed her the red fruit drink and said: "Still, though my familiars… thought they were myths."

Moka then asked: "What did the mean and what was that language you spoke?"

Chuckling he said: "That was Dovahzul, the language of all dragons. Most dragons found in the wild are primitive and have lost their way, but unlike the dragons you saw me with, they are, you could say, my distant siblings. We share the same forefather who had given my family the ability to speak, communicate and use the power of the dragons ourselves."

She blinked and said: " Really? "

Nodding his head he said: " I'm not a one trick pony Moka, I have learned to use many skills and know many forms and art of combat."

Soon the blue haired girl from before came staggered by and asked: "Please… help me… I'm so… faint…" Erik's eyes narrowed and he whispered with the Thu'um: "Koraav Vahzen Haas."

This shout acts like an aura whisper, but also can tell if someone is under a spell or has been poisoned or even if they are sick if their aura had a second color pigment. Seeing her aura was purple meaning neutral as red was an enemy and blue was an Allie, he frowned knowing something was off. Walking over leaving Moka a little jealous as he asked: "Are you okay?"

Erik saw some twinkling in her eyes and he frowned, a hypnotic gaze spell. Thankfully that only affects those who are weaker than him, then he smelt her scent. The scent was similar to the daedric seducers, only less toxic and heavily flower scented. Only one being comes to mind, Succubuses. Erik then said: "I'm not falling for it, Succubus."

The girl gaped at him and couldn't believe that someone was actually immune to her spell. Being an Ashen and Dragon has the perks to counteract this thing, especially if you are highly powerful. If he was just a normal strong being over time it would have worked, but not now or ever. Turning around to leave her as he said: "Come on Moka, we have business elsewhere."

Moka then asked: "What about her?"

Erik then said: "She is just faking it."

Leaving the succubus alone. She stood up and her eyes narrowed as she snarled viciously as her ears become pointed and she sprouted bat-like wings and her eyes promised vengeance. Later, Erik had to leave Moka as he was called to his grandfather's office and he sighed hoping she'd be alright. Entering the office he saw his grandfather rushing over and said with tears of joy: "Erik-kun!"

Erik sighed and said: "What do you need, old man, I have things to do today?"

Sullivan smiled and said: "You'll be happy to know that you won't be assigned for a class till later this week. Seems many students have shown them to be higher than previous years, this semester. So you have time."

Erik then said: "Okay… what about Moka and Alice?"

Sullivan pushed up his glasses with pride and said: " Your friends and over dozens of other students have yet been sorted yet after all we do have a good crop this year."

But soon an explosion was heard and the duo rushed to the window and saw the girl from before attacking Moka and cutting down trees with her extra long fingernails. Erik kicked open the window and said: "Fucking great, trouble always finds her!"

Jumping as he summoned his blaster and used it to fly down, Sullivan chuckles. Emerging from the shadows was the priest who said: "Seems the boy does still have the heart to help others."

Sullivan nodded and said: "Are you sure this is wise? Do you truly believe war is coming?"

The priest nodded and said: "Yes and seems like your grandson maybe our salvation.x

Earlier just as Erik was called to the Headmasters. Moka was walking around to her next class as she hummed a happy tune. Then she heard: "So… they say that you are a Vampire. It's quite the gossip around campus, Moka Akashiya."

The girl jumped down and landed gracefully between Moka and a large crowd as every male was fawning over her. She walked up to Moka and said: "I am the Succubus, Kurumu Kurono and I am… here to defeat you. I can't stand you at all! An airhead like you getting in the way of my grand plan!"

Moka tilted her head and said: "What plan?"

She clenched her fist and replied: "My plan to enslave the entire male body! Operation: Yokai Harem! My plan was infallible. Every boy in the school would be mesmerized by my beauty. Until… you came along! And the fools all started falling for you instead! I will never lose a battle of feminine charm! Do you hear? That is why I decided to show you that you don't have a chance against me… by stealing your little boyfriend from you! When I was close to him, his scent was unlike anything I had ever smelt, almost human like, but his aura reeks of demonic and dragon! But yet a third factor was in it, almost frightening to me, the aura felt holy in a sense. Him being Lord Sullivan's grandson is also a nice boost."

Her face gained a dark smile and asked her: "Is his blood that tasty? Is that what you use him for? Good luck finding another food source, because Vampires are really picky about their blood types."

Moka then said: " I don't use him like that…" she remembered when they first met and during the end she hadn't felt that hungry for blood in a while.

Moka realized something then, his blood kept her filled for a while and that his blood was very nutritious. She looked down and heard her innerself voice say: "We both know that is a lie, don't forget yesterday he said if we needed to feed and if it was an emergency we can have some. She is a succubus, remember if she kisses him, Erik will be enslaved to her."

Moka's eyes widened and cried: " You are a bitch!"

Kurumu's eyes narrowed and asked with a blank stare as she raised her hand and her nails extended to close that could cut through concrete and steel. Kurumu roared and lunged at Moka as her wings emerged and her tail as well as a heart shaped tip was at the end. Back to the present Erik saw Moka evading a swipe that cut a tree down. Conjuring bones around Kurumu and he asked: "What the hell is going on!"

Moka then said: "Erik she is a…" Erik replied: "A succubus, yes I said that earlier. They are a dying breed of Moka, I figure she is looking for her "Mate of Destiny" they are on the verge of extinction with their species being near the hundred mark."

Kurumu froze and Erik snapped his finger as the bones vanished and he said: " She is searching for her Mate as she is the only succubus in our age as every other succubus is older than us." Kurumu lunged and planted her lips upon his and Moka shouted: " ERIK!"

Kurumu pulled away in triumphant and Erik had a flat look and said: "Really the slave kiss technique, hate to break it to ya, but my mental defenses are pretty much makes me immune to that."

Kurumu looked shocked as she slumped down to her knees and began to cry. Erik sighed and kneeled down and said: "I understand the pressure of doing a task that is far too great for just one person, Kurumu. But you went about it all wrong, I understand that you're afraid of dying any moment and leaving your people to nothingness, but cheer up, no one deserves to die alone and unhappy."

Giving her a gentle smile as she looked up at him, her heart thumped loudly. She sniffled and hugged him, he began stroking her hair and Moka saw another part of Erik, a gentle and understanding side, a side who wishes to help everyone. Smiling at him, Erik picked Kurumu up and took her to the infirmary to rest and they went about their day. The next day Moka and Erik were walking as Alice was most likely in the school waiting for them and soon Kurumu stood before them and said with a bright smile: "Good morning!"

Moka then asked in surprise: "Kurumu?!"

Erik looked at her as if he knew something was off. Kurumu still smiled and replied: "I wanted to tell you that I think I found my mate of fate l?"

Moka looked at her and asked: "Who is it?"

Kurumu grabbed his left arm and hugged it tightly and said: "It's you Erik-kun."

She kissed his cheek as Erik knew a storm of a headache was coming. The Mate of a Succubus or an Incubus was not known outside of their race, unless you look into ancient lores in text the crowns and dark lords have. The Mate of a Succubus is someone who genuinely cares about them, someone who sees them for who they truly are and is immune to the enslavement kiss. Erik knew this day alone was going to be a headache and he muttered: "This is my life."

The gathered family couldn't believe it, a shout that not even lady Kyne had ever thought of. It was unique and manmade like Dragonrend. Erik must've thought long and hard and felt the words of power he had within him and created his own Shouts as he only knew twelve of them.

As for why Kalego was not summoned as the giant fluff ball familiar for Erik, I already had a familiar in mind. As for why Moka did it, it should be pretty obvious why, also this should help keep it to the core, and yet keep it as unoriginal as possible. Also, yes they are Odd-Eyes, Dark Rebellion, Clear Wing and Starving Venom from Arc-V. Thought they'd suit this and remember dragons are beings of time and follow the time stream itself. Also I am trying to come up with new words of power since he knows some of the ones his father knows and had time to make a few of his own.
