Chapter Two: Spells, Spells, and Look, More Spells
"In the bitter cold, the scorching heat, no matter what I was determined to master those summoning secrets and magic." (Sephiroth)
I took several days to recuperate my Zen and mental stability. Upon the third day of rest I woke to a startling dream. I had learned the Ancient Summoning for the fire beast Ifrit. I walked out into the snow covered field and began to chant the spell I had just recently recited to memory.
"RaSiahh...Es...Tahh...Ifritis...Es...Rahh...Hellios...Flamei"
As I chanted the words of the summoning, I began to feel the same spread of energy. A gentle flame appeared forth from my core, and then it burst into ten equal embers that danced upon my fingertips. My mind caught hold of the fire and they turned blue, fire invaded my eyes and all I saw was a wall of fire before me. I felt the growing presence of Ifrit and the heat of the flames. I realized that I was seeing what Ifrit was seeing. I knew in my heart I could control this beast.
I raised my hands to the sky as I chanted the summoning a second time, then my vision went black. I threw the embers from my fingers to the ground and a ring of fire burst forth. The ground shattered within the ring and forth from the Core shot the beast of fire, Ifrit. Its loud roar woke me from my dark blindness; I recited an ancient spell and told the beast to destroy the glacier before it.
As if I had told a young child, Ifrit just looked at me as if saying I was crazy, weak, and stupid. But after all it obeyed my command and performed the 'Hellfire' technique. A missile of fire shot toward the core of the glacier, melting it before it even touched it. Ifrit had performed his command and sank back beneath the ground to slumber within his prison.
After Ifrit had departed, I grew cold yet again. Without the glacier, the chill north winds were even more freezing. I had enough Zen left to perform a simple 'Fire' spell.
"Flamei...Dostryx"
A ball of fire formed and steadily grew as I fed it more Zen in my palm. I walked back to my cottage and lit myself a fire. After using the last of my Zen to start the fire, I decided to lie down in front of the burning embers and rested.
["Through my veins flow the blood of the Ancients, therefore I am heir to
the Planet."]
(Sephiroth, Final Fantasy VII)
I awoke only thirty two hours into my meditation by a piercing cry. I ran outside my makeshift cottage and gazed deep into the eyes of a Golden Schizo. The golden two headed dragon roared a mighty cry to challenge me to battle. Feeling awful confident I recalled a new summoning to mind, and began to recite it.
"Bring it on you fool!
RaSiahh...Es...Tahh...Alexandris...Es...Rahh...Judgmytis"
After it was too late to turn back I realized that I had summoned a much too strong beast. But I had little time even to realize that. A sudden gust uplifted me into the air several feet, my eyes erupted in light and energy coursed through my veins. I raised my arms into the sky and began to recite the summoning once more. Each word tasted like pure honey on my lips, and the magic warmed my blood. Before long I had called upon the great Holy beast Alexander.
The symbol of eternal light and holiness appeared beneath me and with an explosion of energy from my body, the ground crumbled. Forth from the never ending crevice rose the massive guardian Alexander. It towered over the Schizo and before long Alexander stepped on it without even so much as obeying my commands. It began to destroy not only my foe, but my cottage and most of the continent was sent asunder.
I was still in the entranced state of summoning, I could only see the white light radiating from my eyes, and then I felt cold. I fell from the sky into the pool of green liquid that had replaced the crevice. I was alone, Alexander gone just like my energy. Once more I traveled the Lifestream, when I awoke I was in a small village. Still faint from my loss of Zen, I fell back into another peaceful slumber.
