The heart of a summoner

Chapter 7

Disclaimer: … I wish….

Thanks to all my wonderful reviewers, you people are the best and I love you all. Sorry it took so long, but I haven't been very well lately (whenever there's a bug going round I get it worse then most people (and there's been a lot)), I've also been doing a 10-HOUR art exam, have a drama exam soon, and MAJOR writers' bloke. SORRY.

But I promise that during the Easter break, I will update again and it WILL be longer


"You called for me, mother" Ashura said walking into the long stone room. Sat on the platform at the end was his mother and father; both looking worried about something.

"Yes my son. I have some bad news to tell you…" the queen was interrupted because of something behind the doors. The doors banged opened and a red-faced Steiner came running in.

"Ah, Rusty glad you came," said a chuckling Zidane.

"R…RU…RUSTY! How dare you…" cried Steiner outraged.

"Zidane, please we don't have time for this" plead Garnet. Zidane lost all trance of being happy. He looked down at the floor and mumbled an apology.

"Ashura, as you know we have not had any contact with anybody on the other islands. The last time we got word from them, they were having monster problems and asking for some fighters. We haven't heard from the fighters since they landed nor any of the scouts we have sent. Amarant, Quina, Freya, Vivi and your father and I will be going to investigate along with our best soldiers. Lindblum are sending some soldiers as well…"

"Eiko has asked to come as well." Zidane interrupted.

"Thank you Zidane. May I continue without any interruptions?"

"Sorry Dagger."

"While we are gone you will be staying at Lindblum."

"Yes mother, I understand. Come home safe." Ashura said looking sad. Carbuncle, sensing that Ashura was sad, rubbed his head against Ashura's stomach.

"There's something else as well. I don't know when we will come back, so I'll say this now: Ryuu Ashura Alexandros isn't your real name."

"Wh…what?"

"Your real name is Harry." She continued.

"We aren't your real parents." Zidane finished.

"Your lying!" Ashura shouted though his tears. The next thing he knew was that his mother was holding him. No, not mother. She's not my real mother; she's the queen.

"Even though your not our son by blood, we still love you with all our heart." Garnet whispered though her tears.

"Who…Who is …why did…" he whispered. Tears falling from his emerald eyes.

"We don't know who your real mother is or why that man asked us to look after you." Zidane said, his voice was breaking as he tried not to cry or remember how it felt being told the person who you loved more then anything in the world was not who you thought they were.

Ashura head was spinning. Everything he believed was a lie. Who was he, why was he left? He didn't understand anything anymore. He had to get away from his parents, to be alone for a while. Breaking out of Garnets arms, he turned towards the door and ran. He ran extremely fast, not caring what people thought.
