Sheena: Tales of Summoning
Disclaimer: I don't own this…However, the Summons I made are mine. So, there.
A/N: This is another conversation chapter. Wow, it's been a long way since I first started this. I should get writing, or Raine will hit me.

Chapter 16: Journey to the Cliff of Dreams
Sheena woke up an hour after being rendered unconscious. Zelos was in a deep sweat, worrying about the female ninja. This was not at all like him, but when Sheena saw the swordsman like this, he was probably thinking how he was to get home. However, unbeknownst to her, he did care. Somewhat. Astra cast a healing spell, and then Sheena felt good enough to get up.
"Wh…What happened?" Sheena asked to nobody in particular.
"You looked mortified." Astra said, "Like you had seen a horrible entity."
"You should not do that again." Cresenta suggested, "This man was very worried about you."
Sheena blushed for a minute and regained her composure, "What do we do now? Go to where?"
"We must go to where you first landed when you got here" Sola answered, "The Cliff of Dreams is north of there."
" What is the Cliff of Dreams and how do ya know where we landed?" Zelos questioned.
"We Summon Spirits are much like the ones in your world." Sola replied, "We can see what goes on in this world without having to leave our temples. Also, the Cliff of Dreams is where Universa resides."
"I see," Sheena said, "anyway, shouldn't we be getting to the Cliff?"
"Yes. The area where the cliff is south of here." Astra commented.
"We have to walk?" Zelos groaned.
This was replied by two swift slaps from the women.
Wile they were walking, Sheena noticed Zelos was depressed. Surely walking doesn't make a person that sad.
"Zelos…" Sheena said, "what's wrong?"
"Hm? Oh it's nothing" the swordsman replied.
"That look on your face doesn't mean it's fine!" Sheena yelled.
"Sorry." Zelos apologized.
"You didn't do anything wrong." Sheena told him, brushing a few strands of hair away from her amber eyes, "Now tell me."
"Okay…" Zelos obeyed, "Well, remember when I fell over when we fought Cresenta and I couldn't do anything but yell, 'Now Sheena!'"
"Yes." Sheena said, "It was funny when you said others with me and still on the ground." A laugh came out of her mouth.
"I didn't want that to happen again." Zelos said seriously, "I don't want you to die because of me."
"Regal gave you this feeling, didn't he?" the female ninja asked.
"I guess. Why?"
"Well, you would have never said anything so caring." Sheena blushed, but the redness faded away instantly, "You've changed a bit, Zelos."
The Gleaming Knight smiled. Sheena had smile on her face as well as they kept walking.
Also along the way a conversation between the Derris Summon Spirits was ensued.
"Cresenta…" Astra began, "What's wrong? You haven't been your normal self lately."
"Well, it's strange" the Warrior of the Moon replied, "With these two, I feel strange."
"True." Sola said, "We have not been summoned in quite a while."
"Yet we remember how to fight as if it were yesterday." Astra said, with a tint of sadness in her voice.
"You seemed ashamed, dear sister." Cresenta sounded slightly surprised.
"Well, it is a gift and a curse to know how to fight, how to kill." The Mistress of Stars replied, "You know how to defend a person in need, like my siblings, but you also know how to kill, and with that, there is…"
"Death." Sola finished for her, "You despise the word, do you not?"
"I have a reason to." Astra answered, "After all, death is a burden. When you kill someone, you kill all of their hopes and dreams, as well."
There was a silence among the Summon Spirits for a moment.
"However, we shall only kill people when it is needed." Cresenta finally broke the silence.
"Yes." Sola and Astra answered, ending the conversation.
When the finally got to the cliff, Sheena and Zelos waited while the spirits performed a chant. The three magic circles below them were tremendously focused and strong. When the incantation was finished, sparks of blue, yellow, and purple flew everywhere falling form the cliff like a cascade of color. A man in ceremonial robes appeared, looking a lot like Maxwell, without the floating chair and the black robes. This Summon Spirit's robes were blue, adorned with yellow gems n the shoulders and amethysts and the legs, not hindering movement at all.
"Who has awoken me?"
A/N; Kind of short, but still…this was more of a talking chapter. So let's keep reading to find out what happens next!
