The heart of a summoner

Chapter 5

I'm trying to make chapters longer, but sometimes I get bored and update.

Disclaimer: I wish…

"WHAT! You want the King and Queen to do WHAT!" Came the voice of Adelbert Steiner. Once the man had appeared, they had moved to a room just off the throne room.

"To raise this young child." Came to annoyed reply.

"And why should he? Why should my Zidane raise him?" asked Eiko.

"Why not? I already like him." said Zidane, looking over Garnet's shoulder at the small bundle in her arms.

"We'll do it." Garnet suddenly said, shocking everyone.

"Thank you. Please raise and train him well." With that said, the mysterious man disappeared the same way he appeared.

"My Queen, do you think this is wise? We know nothing…"

"We know that he is a Summoner."

"He is?" everyone said at once.

"Yes, look," Garnet removed the blanket, showing the face of a young boy; no more then a year old. He had a wild-looking brown hair; a face that looked like it was carved from marble, lightly tanned skin, a cute small nose and soft pink lips. A thin lighting shaped cut was healing on his forehead, but what got really caught everyone's attention was a small sliver horn growing out of his forehead.

"Wow." Vivi said in awe.

"He's beautiful" muttered Freya.

"What name?" asked Quina.

"He never said." Answered Zidane stroking the sleeping child's hair.

"Well, if you are going to raise him, you'll going to need to name him." said Amarant.

"Maybe he knows his name?" voiced Vivi.

"He's no more then two years old! How could he know his name!" shouted Steiner.

"Because we Summoner learn things at a very young age because of how long and hard it is to learn the art of summoning." Replied Eiko glaring at the young boy.

"What is you name little one?" asked Garnet in a soft voice.

"Har'y" he said in a gurgle, looking at them with his bright emerald eyes. Eyes that mesmerize everyone.

"Harry?" said Zidane, unsure if that was what he meant.

Harry turned to look at Zidane confirming that, that was his name. Vivi let out a loud gasp as the bundle moved as a small head popped out.

"That can't be, it's impossible! We lost the power to summon after Zidane came back. HOW CAN HE SUMMON!" Cried Eiko, looking about ready to kill the child.

"Who that?" Quina asked looking at Garnet, wanting to know if he could eat it.

"That is Carbuncle. He is the Spirit of Protection." She answered stroking the ruby imbed in he's head. Its fur was a pale turquoise color, the bright imbed ruby sat in middle of its forehead. It was the size of a small dog, but had the build of a cat and its ears were like a rabbits'. It was now purring loudly.

"We'll raise Harry, but I also want him to know how to fight and defend himself. We maybe at peace, but the number of monster's is increasing and this Golden Era wont last forever." Garnet said the last part softly, looking at each one of them in the eye.

Short I know but I promise that it will pick up in the next chapter!
