The Summoner
Chapter 6 - The Summoners first Ring
"You are stood infront of the great gates to Spiritos!" a low voice came from nowhere.
"What business do you have here?" the voice asked and Taichi was looking around confused.
"I am Ishida Yamato. I have come to release my powers as a summoner." Yamato spoke up and waited patiently. Then a huge door appeared before them out of thin air. Taichi and his friends slowly walked up to the door and it opened.
Taichi couldn't believe his eyes as he saw what was behind them. Where he actually thought the forest was, was a little village with a huge building at the back. They walked through the gates and the vision of the forest disappeared completly.
"You could of told me that it was invisible!" Taichi said to Mimi as they were looking around.
"You never asked." Kira stated with a smile.
"Well, I think you lot should look around town while I'm doing the ritual." Yamato suggested to his guardians. "May be you could find a restaurant, I'll need something to eat later."
"Can't I go with you?" Taichi asked disappointed.
"Nobody but the summoner can take part." A old shaky voice said from behind.
Taichi looked round and saw an old man with long robes stood before him.
"Who are you?" He asked confused.
"I am the priest of Spiritos."
"Oh." Taichi said and looked at Yamato.
"Don't worry I'll be allright you go and have a look around. It won't take too long."
Yamato walked off with the priest and left Taichi to look around the village. It wasn't a big village, maybe ten houses or less. But then there were a few huts and Taichi guessed that they were probably shops. He walked around but was confused by what he saw on the signs of the shops. It was written in a language he didn't understand.
"It's written in Spiritian." Kira said behind him and he turned around to see her.
"How do you know?"
"Because that's their language. How else?"
"Can you read it?" he asked examining the letters which were written in a style he had never seen before.
"Sure. This shop is for magic items and that one over there." she said pointing in all sorts of directions.
"How come you can read it?" Taichi asked her curiously.
"My mother came from here and then she met my father from Bianco. So I guess I sort of learnt it by watching my mother write it."
"How come you didn't stay here?"
"We had to leave when the people found out that I was a black mage. You see, it's not normal for Spiritians to give birth to black mages. Usually they only give birth to white mages so everybody thought my mother was evil or something."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it, that's all in the past so it really doesn't matter anymore. Anyway you seem to be hitting it off with Yama-chan." She told him grinning slightly.
"No I'm not!" Taichi said quickly looking in the other direction so she couldn't see that he was blushing.
"Oh come on Taichi you don't need to hide it from me. I know that you're gay."
"And what makes you think that?"
"Mimi told me."
"What!?!"
"Don't worry. I mean it doesn't take rocket sience to figure out that you like him."
"Is it that obvious?" Taichi sighed in defeat. Kira smiled at him and gestured him to sit down on the bench.
"Well, to everybody except Yamato. He seems to be the only one who hasn't noticed."
"Good. I don't think I'm ready to tell him yet."
"Why not?"
"I don't know. I guess I'm too chicken."
"Hey! Why don't you get him a little present?"
"You think I should?"
"Well he is becoming a summoner at this very moment, isn't that something special?"
"I guess."
"You'd better hurry, who knows when he's gonna come out of that weird place over their."
"It's a temple Kira, you don't call that sort of thing weird."
"Who cares?"
Taichi got up off the bench and headed over to the shop with magic items. Whatever he was going to get Yamato it had to be something special. He entered the shop and had a look around. All around him were little trinkets and magic books. It all looked so beautiful he had no idea what he should get Yamato for this occasion. So he decided to ask the shopkeeper for some assistance.
"Excuse me mister, do you know what I could give my friend as a present? I really don't know what half of these things are."
The little shop-keeper looked over the counter at him and smiled.
"Is you're friend a mage?" he asked examining Taichi.
"No, he's just becoming a summoner. And I haven't got a clue what I could get him."
"A summoner ey?"
"Yes, we came here to activate his powers."
"Oh good. It's always nice to have new blood in the summoning line. Ah I think I know just the thing you could give him." The little man hopped off into the back of the shop and brought out a little silk bag and handed it over to Taichi.
"A bag?"
"That's not just any bag it's a summoning ring bag."
"A what?"
"It's a bag you use to keep all the rings in. Your friend can't wear all fourteen rings at once can he? He can't even wear more than four yet so he'll be needing one of these."
"Why can't he wear more than four rings?"
"At the beginning of your journey your friend we'll only be able to control the power of four rings at once. He'll need to enhance his powers at the temple of Voltus to be able to gather more rings. By the way are you going to buy this or not?"
"Sure. But why do you need a special bag? Can't you just put them in your pocket or something?"
"Oh no. The rings are very powerful. The bag isolates the powers so they can't take control of their owner. That will make four silvlings and 25 goulds." (If you haven't guessed it yet silvlings and goulds are part of the currency in Kai ^-^)
"I didn't know it was that dangerous being a summoner." Taichi said handing the man the money.
"Well, with great power comes great responsibility."
"Yeah, I've noticed."
"Being a guardian isn't an easy job either but I'm sure you'll cope."
"Thanks." Taichi left the shop and looked a bit more around town. Kira wasn't on the bench anymore. *She probably got bored.* Taichi thought to himself when he suddenly heard a voice come from nowhere again.
"Would the guardians of Yamato Ishida please come to the temple and make sure you are fully equiped." Taichi recognized the voice, it was from the old priest he had met earlier. But where was he to make his voice sound so close? Taichi couldn't see him anywhere.
"Are you coming Taichi?" Mimi asked Taichi who was still looking confused at the sky. "We haven't got all day to buy little presents you know."
"Hey!?! How did you know that I was getting a present?"
"Kira told me."
"Girls! Never can they keep a secret."
"Now come."
"Allright allready."
They both walked in the direction of the Temple and met Kira on the way. They all entered the temple and looked around in silence. The temple was huge and had all sorts of statues of past people and other things. It was all silent except for a slow and quiet melodie that echoed through the whole temple.
"Ah, you finally came." The old priest said as they approached him.
"So what was so urgent?" Mimi asked not giving the priest any time to explain why they needed to come.
"Urgent? Nothing is urgent just the young Ishida here decided that he would now like to go into the caves of spiritos. Didn't you?" The priest asked and turned around to see Yamato come out of one of the rooms of the temple.
"Yes, I did." Yamato said sounding very serious. Taichi couldn't believe it. He had thought that Yamato looked mature the first time he saw him but the way Yamato looked at this very moment was beyond mature. It was a if he had become a fully grown adult through the ritual and left his childhood behind him. Taichi looked into his eyes and they seemed different than usual. They were cold and misty, he couldn't see any emotion at all.
"Well, then lets get going." Kira said, getting tired of the awkward silence. She started to walk off in some direction and Taichi, not really knowing what he should be doing just followed her. After they had walked a bit Mimi and Yamato followed. They all went into a room on the side of the temple and in the room there was a big opening in the ground, which led into the caves. The sides of the opening had icicles all around it and the caves beneath them looked like they were made of ice too.
Taichi looked down into the opening and let out a shiver.
"Do we really have to go down there?" He asked feeling the cold rush over him.
"Yep!" Kira shouted behind him and giving him a little shove. There was a loud plonk and she jumped down after him.
"Sorry cupcake. You okay?"
"Yeah I'm allright. And why are you calling me cupcake??" Taichi asked annoyed.
"I thought it was a cute name for you." she said smiling and the other two jumped down into the caves too.
"So lets look for the ring." Yamato said holding his hand out to help Taichi get up again. Taichi accepted the help and took his hand, they felt cold too. But he wasn't sure if it was the cold of the cave that had made his hands like ice.
"I don't think we'll meet anything on the way into the caves but most probably when we're coming out." Yamato explained as he started to walk down some passage way.
"Because they'll be drawn to the ring, right?" Mimi asked trying to show off her intelligence. Kira just rolled her eyes at Taichi and carried on walking.
"Correct." Yamato replied.
It seemed that Yamato had been right about not meeting anything. They had gotten to the big circular room, in which the ring was stood on a little pedestal, in no time. The pedestal was made out of ice and the ring looked as if it had been made out of pure gold. The three guardians stayed back as Yamato approached the pedestal. He stood infront of it for quite a while and then took the ring with his hand.
The ring lost its golden glow as it layed in the palm of his hand. Then slowly he slid it onto one of his fingers and it began to glow again. This time it was glowing an icy blue colour and Yamato let out a cry of pain as the ring adjusted itself to its new master.
The ring stopped glowing and the pain left Yamatos hand and he turned to look at the others. He looked at them seriously and then saw the worried look in Taichis eyes. He gave them a warm smile and showed them the ring.
"I'm okay." Was all he said and a smile crossed over Taichis face again.
"I'm sorry that I was so serious back then. I was just so nervous but I didn't want the priest to see it, so I decided to act all serious. I hope you all understand."
"Of course we do." Taichi said, a sigh of reliefe running through him. He was glad that his Yamato was still the same on the inside.
"Now. Could we get out of here? I'm freezing." Taichi said starting to shiver again and Yamato smiled.
"Sure."
"Oh, and Yamato?" Taichi suddenly asked out of the blue.
"Yes?"
"Which ring is that?" he asked and Yamato held up his hand.
"This is the Ice-ring. It's the ring that calls up the wolf of winter, Iceeria."
"Great. Why does everything have to be so cold in here?"
They were on their way out as the exit, in which they had entered the room suddenly closed up with icicles shooting from the ceiling right down to the floor and blocking the way. They all looked at each other confusedly and Taichi and Mimi grabbed their weapons, so that they were prepared.
They looked around the room for a few minutes as suddenly icicles started to grow in the middle of the room and turned into a rough shape of a person. Which happened to be twice as big as them and when it had finished building itself up it started to move towards the four teens.
"This isn't good."
