~A Summons's Destiny~

~CHAPTER 1~



Mina Slovaks slowly walked down to the basement of her new house. Her sliver tennis shoes made a soft padding noise against the stone hard steps. She moved her hand along the wall to find the light switch, but when she did and pushed it on, the lights only flashed off. She cursed as she searched blindly through the dark for her mom's shoes. There were footsteps and she could swear that someone was with her.

"Who is there?" She asked the darkness boldly but inside she was trembling with fear. Silence was her only answer, so she kept on searching for her mothers missing shoes. A crash was heard and she turned to be looking into blood red eyes. She slowly backed away from the eyes but for every step she took, the eyes took the same.

"W-Who are you?" She stuttered to the mystery being. The being took a step closer and she could feel its warm breath, and she started to tremble. A cold hand brushed across her face as she heard the words, "Don't worry little one, I am not your enemy unless you want me to be." Her breath was caught as a man stepped out into the moonlight that was streaming from the small basement window. He still had the intense blood red eyes that were watching her every movement, but he had long white blond hair, and a stone cold face, and to her surprise, he had a sliver tail. He stepped to her and held her close coming down to kiss her. Right as his lips touched hers, everything went black.

Mina could only guess that she fell on her head as she slowly tried to get up. No luck as she fell right back down from some unknown force.

"Uh, where am I?" She sighed as she slowly opened her eyes. She looked right into eyes of a soft green, and her breath was caught. In those eyes, she could see excitement and surprise, plus a hint of sorrow. The eyes blinked a little and suddenly backed away into the shadows. She could hear footsteps going a little away and than a match being lit. She could not help but try to look at who, or what, the owner was of those beautiful eyes. The room suddenly lit up with candlelight, and Mina could just feel her eyes, in a millisecond, contract and get used to the change in light.

"You're on the Prima Vista, which could be a good thing, or a bad thing." A voice said from across the room. Mina slowly moved he head to look over to the door to see the cutest guy she had ever laid eyes on. He had dirty blond hair chopped and placed messily upon his head; a sword handled dagger in a holder connected to his belt, and a fuzzy blond tail. He had a green vest over a white top that did not even cover his shoulders, and blue jeans. Gray gloves were on his hands, added on the ends were big blue cuffs and he wore shabby old boots. He had a lopsided grin on his face as he looked across the room at her. She could feel the blush creep to her face as she looked away towards a mirror.

She looked at herself and smiled. Her hair was still down to her shoulders and very straight. Instead of her normal black hair, it was a slivery color and her dark green eyes went well with it, and upon her forehead was a horn. It was like a unicorn's, silvery and shiny, but it was about two inches long and very sharp. She looked at it for a second before passing over to look back at the guy.

"Who may I ask are you?" She said trying to be very polite, but failing miserably, the Prima Vista thing she was on was freaking her out.

"Oh! I am Zidane, Zidane Tribal. And I was the one who found you." He answered with a bow; his tail swishing right to left behind him. She tried to hold back a giggle and slowly moved to her feet. She stumbled a little and found herself in Zidane's arms.

"You should rest, you had quite a fall and I think you hit your head hard." He soothed as he picked her up and set he back on the bed. She looked into his eyes before falling into a dreamless slumber.

Zidane slid down a pole to the lower deck of the flying ship, the Prima Vista. He headed for boss's room and slowly knocked on the door. First he knocked once, twice, than three times and still no answer. Therefore, he slowly opened the door into the dark room. He sneaked to the middle and lit a huge candle. The room lit up, it was very shabby and looked to be a storage room, and it was filled with so many boxes.

"Who goes there!" A scruff voice yelled from behind a hidden door. Zidane walked to his right to a very old door and tried to turn the knob, he found that it was locked.

"Open up Cinna, it is me, Zidane!" He yelled as the door flew open and nearly hit his noes.

"Oops Zidane, I didn't think it was you, I thought you were tending to that cute babe!" Cinna answered in his scruff low voice. Zidane only stared at one of his best friends.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, Cinna, but you have no chance with that girl, I mean she has to be high class if she has a horn!" Another male voice said from behind the stubby Cinna. Than Blank, Zidane's first and best friend stepped out from behind Cinna. He had a metal plate covering his eyes, and choppy red hair. Cinna had a metal baker's hat and was very chubby for a nineteen-year-old. Zidane and Blank are both seventeen.

"Hey, guess I am late, or are you guys just early?" The sixteen-year-old Marcus said from the door. He had on a red bandana and a blue pirate coat.

"No, your right on time for once Marcus, lets get this meeting started." Zidane sighed as everyone gathered into the small hidden room Cinna and Blank were hiding earlier in.

Mina opened her eyes right as she heard the door click shut. She looked around to see that Zidane was gone. She suddenly got a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach and groaned out, "Oh my god! I am on a ship!" She felt her stomach do a few flip-flops and she could swear that her face turned a shade of green. Running over to the open window, her heart stopped. They were flying, over an open field, and she was on a ship. She could not bare looking out the window, and needed to sit down, so she went over to the small bed. Her hand brushed across a silk like fabric she must have missed when she got up. She felt very doubtful that she would like the clothing it turned out to be but she tried it on anyway.

The clothing fit her perfectly, and it turned out to be very comfortable. She wore a dark blue blouse that had long, airy sleeves that were clipped at the wrist with a bracelet like thing; it went down to about mid waste and covered the top of semi-short shorts. Dark blue knee-high boots finished the simple outfit. She had on black gloves just like Zidane's, but had smaller blue cuffs. Her cloths were made of a soft silk and seemed to be brand new. She looked in the mirror and noticed that they were traveling or maybe even fighting cloths. She tried to rip the silk but it was very strong. Her horn suddenly started to glow and a gold chain materialized on her neck. A small, smooth coin was dangling on the end. Holding it up for closer view, she noticed the words "Follow the Zodiac" inscribed into the coin. Small hoop earrings materialized into her ears and they just made her outfit perfect. She felt like she needed more to protect her but just let that thought slip from her mind. She smiled and wanted to find company so she headed for the old door that Zidane had left from earlier. Right as she reached for the knob it turned and the door opened suddenly, and Mina saw a huge black figure standing in the doorway. She gasped in fear as its body emerged.
