Eris finished setting her things on the proper places just a few instants before Meeka, and took the rest of the time to observe the other girl's behavior. She was intrigued when Meeka took a look under her bed, surely she couldn't be afraid of anything, could she?

"Do you want to join me Eris? If not, that's fine, I'm sure I can find my way to the summoning building." Meeka asked.

"There's no point in laying down around here, however, I would like to ask you a thing first." Eris said as she set her sword -Etoile, The Star- by her side don't even caring to be conspicuous about carrying a weapon around the campus.

Just as Eris was about to ask her question, however, another girl came bargging in their room and started to order Meeka around. A smirk appeared on Eris' face as she watched the redheaded girl order a flustered Meeka around, like she were the owner of the room, so Eris just stood there with her arms crossed until she'd finished.

"Are you done ordering my friend like she was your personal maid?" Eris asked the girl after the event finished. "If so, we should move onward to the summoning grounds."

Eris extended her hand and gripped the other girl's hand tightly, "I'm Eris Reinhardt, heiress the Grey Foxes Private Military Company, or mercenaries, if you prefer. What about you?"

Edge brought Lucille's bag up to her room left it inside the door then promptly left the room. He left the place in sprint over to the boys dorm grabbing his key and room number he headed up and put away his stuff. Rocketing out of his room without even a glance to find out who his roommate was he headed off to meet his summon, he was so ready for this. He ducked and weaved between crowds, seemed a lot of people had gotten sidetracked or were to busy trying to find there rooms. Not Edge, he was a man on a mission to meet his summon and befriend them as fast he could. He was about to meet a being from another world and become it's partner for life, that's a big commitment. It was also one the boy was ready to make. He slowed down as exited the crowd, slowly walking towards the summoners area. He shivered as he got goosebumps walking towards it all.

Blanc was now prepared to hit the streets, he had everything he needed. If he were to run into any trouble makers on his way to the summoning ceremony, he'd be sure to take them down. Just as he was about to leave, a guard that was sitting in the lobby tossed him a bag of zip ties. "Good luck out there. Be sure to take down some trouble makers for us." This was it, Blanc was now a member of the so called campas "authority". It was now his job to dispense justice, it was like he was a vigilante straight out of a comic book. All he needed now was a cool nickname and a cape. It was quite amusing.

With his both his hands in shoved into his pockets, he walked aimlessly while on patrol. Sooner or later someone was going to slip up, and he was going to be there to take them down. It hadn't even been twenty minutes before the first report of a fight came in. The walkie-talkie that was clipped to his belt rang out, the officer on the other side asked a near by officer to see to an altercation that was taking place outside the female dormitory. "Officer Blanc on route now, over" He said responded almost immediately after receiving the call, this was his chance to dispense justice. Breaking into a sprint, Blanc pushed his way through the crowd. Arriving on the scene, he saw two male students engaged in a physical altercation. Taking out his flashlight and dawning his badge, Blanc broke into action. It was over in seconds, both students received rather quick smacks to the back of the head which knocked them out immediately. After zip tying the two, he called for backup and established a perimeter around the two. Already he had taken down his first perps. The feeling he received was rather satisfying.

Lucille wouldn't seem to notice the girls till she had set down and put her normal glasses on taking them out of the red bag sitting on her bed. As she did she'd seem to have a light tremor pass threw her body jumping off the bed a little as she saw all the girls in her room. She thought there may of been one more not three. At least she had kinda met two them before, but who was the third. "Holy... I thought you were in the other room. Nobody told me there would be three of you, and who is she exactly?" Lucille would say pointing Eris in confusion. Before eventually giving up the room was far to crowded for her taste. She'd rub her hair before quickly fixing it and saying, "Didn't one of you mention going to the summoning building. I can take you there." She wasn't good at human recognition but she assumed it was one of the girls she was familiar with. Anything to get away from what she considered the crowd.

Meeka watched as Eris and Lucille exchanged pleasantries. *Is this how rich people usually greet each other?* Meeka didn't know, sure her family was rich, but she never thought of herself that way. Her parents usually made her earn her stuff rather than just giving it to her. Which brought about some annoyance in her childhood, but overall it had been a great experience. Scooting awkwardly by the 2 girls, she made it out the door.

"Thanks for your offer, umm... I am sorry. But what is your name? Mine is Meeka, Meeka Gray."

Lucille.

"Well Lucille, I would be happy to go with both you and Eris to the summoning building. I just hope the line isn't too long. I would like to meet my summon as soon as possible."

So the three girls set off towards the summoning building passing by other kids still waiting in line to get their room. They had just made it to the other side of campus when they hit a long line extending about 100 feet away from the building.

Great. Looks like we'll be waiting for some time.

Edge gulped as the blue gas monster watched them, he had been behind a couple other kids but they quickly entered and soon he found himself stepping into the portal. He jaw dropped as he gazed at this amazing place barely comprehending it at all, a red gaseous being floated over. It did not speak it simply waved and he followed, down the stairs and he felt as if his very being was pulled along, his body tugged towards a cave as he followed the creature.

He entered the cave and began to slide his hand over the disks, each felt cold and lifeless. None seemed to react to him, then he saw it. A hole in the wall, just wide for a disk to fit and for him to slide his hand in. He gulped and looked to the creature who waited patiently, he stepped forward and reached in. A leap of faith, he could get his arm stuck or worse something could have been in there. Yet instead he griped his hand around something warm and smooth... A disk. Slowly retracting his hand, this was his partner whoever they were.

Following the Red mist once more he stepped into room with a large magic circle, slowly he walked forward and place down the disk. Stepping back the room glowed with a shining light as something began to appear, Edge covered his eyes as the light flashed. Slowly removing his head from his sleeve he gasped and stared. There before him was angel in a golden dress, soft red hair and pure white wings adorned her back. He stood a moment kinda in shock and awe from the whole ordeal of this thing.

Auriel smiled looking at her summoner with a smile dropping her weapons they faded away and she walked toward him retracting her wings to hide them behind her. "I am Auriel, Angel of Hope. You are my summoner, tell what is your name?" She asked the boy taking his hand, he seemed shocked by the whole thing. So she sent an aura of calming to him as she smiled.

As the angel took his hand he could speak and things started to make a little sense again. So with a sigh he lead her back towards the exit. "My names Edward Seraph, but call me Edge. It's nice to meet you Auriel. I'm glad to be your summoner." He smiled at her and relief washed over Auriel he was a good person, he would not abuse her or her powers and that made her smile back. The Red mist having vanished as he returned and exited the portal, Auriel holding his hand as he walked back towards the dorms.

Edge stopped looking over at Lucille and Meeka. "Hey girls, meet Auriel my new friend and summon." The angel gave a slight bow as he released her hand and let her walk over to them. "She's pretty cool, so you guys are going to the portal now?" He asked looking at the long line.

Lucille seemed confused as she looked at the line unsure what to do but following Meekas example and getting in line. She'd sat there nervous and impatient not to get her summon. She could wait for that, it was just all the people around that kept getting to her. She had never really experienced a situation where she couldn't keep perfect track of everybody before today, and that's all that seems to be going

"Are schools always this crowded?" She'd say actually curious. BEfore attempting to pull out some kind of gamin device she'd give it a go before saying,

"The glare is too bad.", and closing it promptly after yet again impatient looking at squirells climbing trees in the distance, or even remembering the stray cat she used to feed. Anything to not think of where she was now. At least till a couple questions popped in her mind. she'd seem to be debating it looking at Meeka then at the ground looking at Eriis then at the ground.'

"So why are you two here? Are you here early like me(Meeko)? What's your favorite animal? Are you edges sister or something?(Eris)..."

And so 20 questions began again.

At least until edge showed up. She looked over her summon unsure waht to think and annoyed. What is this angel it was so large, and taller then her, and it had red hair too.

"Oh neat it looks awesome."

As she spoke she'd try her hardest not to give the angel a glare of hatred. At least until Edge looked away.

Meeka waited patiently on the outside, but on the inside she was dying. She was so nervous, she didn't even know how to think straight. Then she looked at Lucille, who seemed to be having the same problem as her, except it visibly showed on her face. Meeka really didn't know what to do, she could sense that Lucille was in trouble, all that turmoil inside her. Was she the only that could see the inner battle within Lucile? No, there is no way, but it just seemed so visible to Meeka. She glanced at Eris who stood there with a calm demeanor, that also demanded respect in an area around her. Meeka too could see something going inside Eris as well. As to what it was, she couldn't tell yet. Meeka looked at other kids standing in line, she could also see their inner struggles. Meeka rubbed her eyes, she could swear that she was going crazy. Meeka's thoughts were suddenly interruoted when Lucille started asking and her and Eris questions.

So why are you two here? Are you here early like me?

Meeka was glad for the distraction from her thoughts. "Well. You see, most people think I am in grade school. Which is true so to say, I skipped a grade when I was younger so I got here a little more quickly than most. I'm 14. I really don't know why Eris is here but I am sure she'll answer you. As for being early? I got here right on time...ish, about 10 minutes early."

The answers Meeka provided seemed to satisfy Lucille for now. The line had shortened pretty quickly as the three talked, there was however a shock when a boy came over with an angel in hand.

"Hey girls, meet Auriel my new friend and summon." The angel gave a slight bow as he released her hand and let her walk over to them. "She's pretty cool, so you guys are going to the portal now?"

Meeka was amazed at just how beautiful Auriel was... That was until she saw something stirring inside Auriel as well. *What's going on with me?* Meeka's body began to get very warm, her face a little flushed, she had never felt so much stress before, she just wasn't used to it. Once again her thoughts were interrupted by a blue gaseous form that motioned for her to walk into the portal. This was it, Meeka was going to meet her summon. She strode through the door bravely, and she was immediately met by a red gaseous figure who began to walk her down the stairs. Meeka slowly made her way down, she gazed up at the cavernous ceiling, not being able to see the roof. She walked by countless hundreds, no thousands of disks. She suddenly felt really cold, as if it had suddenly started snowing. She could feel herself being pulled. She knew that feeling, she was being called to. Meeka didn't even try to fight it, she let it pull her through countless rows of disks until she saw one on the ground near a large stack. She picked it up, it was chill to the touch, it was actually slightly painful to grasp, but she held on firmly and followed the red form to a giant magic circle. She was then informed to set the disk down in the center of the circle. After she had done that, she walked back and almost immediately a bright light engulfed the room and standing in the disks place was a large blue wolf. She could suddenly feel a presence in her mind. Are you my summoner? Meeka didn't know what to do, she simply nodded and the wolf walked over and sat down by her. He pushed his head under her hand, Meeka just naturally began to pet him. So what's your name Meeka asked? She heard a voice in her telling his name was Rune. He is an Ice wolf.

Meeka walked out with rune at her side and waited for her other friends to come out. She sat down in disbelief and just sat there, staring Rune in the eyes.

Edge was watching Meeka enter having looked away from Auriel and Lucille. He smiled thinking about it as he tried to wrap his head around all the craziness that this involved. Then again maybe he just needed to relax and enjoy it all rather than trying to think it through.

Auriel looked Lucille who seemed quite angry at her, she stepped forward and decided to try and find out way. "Am I offending you miss Lucille or is there something wrong with me?" She asked worriedly looking herself over then suddenly blushed her eyes looking at Lucille. "Are you Edge's consort!? I'm terribly sorry miss! I promise I'll not hold his hand anymore I had no idea!" She said flustered as the angel looked terrified talking about Lucille and Edge like they were a couple. "Oh Edward should have told!" She stamped her foot in frustration.

@Ruby Etra

Lucille would of sighed at Meeka's answer but she was now more concerned with Auriel as she began speaking. She seemed to be throwing a fit to herself as she talked giving a short and sudden response "You shouldn't be holding your summoner like that.". As she stomped her foot down to show she meant business the Lucille would hear the word she used to reference her and Edge's relationship. Her eyes would widen as her face started to match her hair lost for words. The mix of anger and embarrassment only turned to raw embarrassment as she went on turning herself away from the both of them as she got a bloody nose trying to hide it until eventually she was told that it was her turn to go in.

Lucille had prepared initially less scared then the rest as she had seen something like this coming, but still was in relative awe as she followed him. She wanted to say something, but had no idea what gas monsters did so she kept her mouth shut as she followed. There wasn't the same drive to follow as the others she simply followed out of curiosity of the creature. Though she heard a voice in the back of her mind that if she followed she'd have the answers she wanted soon enough. She tried to keep in reminder that she was supposed to pick a summon that could rival her mothers.

Though As soon as she stepped through the portal she lost all thought of that. As she entered the cave a lovely smell hit her nose as a disk reacted to her presence in the far off distance. She had actually nearly went ahead of the red enigma was watching her curiously as if it was planned. She searched the cavern nearly going in a circle as she tried to find where it was coming from. She'd feel alone and miserable unable to find a disk that she could feel anything towards. Though slowly the scent would calm her to the point where she had stopped walking and sat down when she thought the ground was clear. It lasted a little while till she slowly began playing around with the dirt shifting it with her hand. At least till she felt something in the dirt she'd quickly dig it up realizing it was one of the disk she'd quickly pick it up feeling as if her arm was about to melt, but not willing to let go as if she did she was losing a part of her.

Once Lucille seemed to have fully accepted the disk as hers the red enigma would lead her to the magical circle. Though she would feel hesitant now the disk didn't feel the same as she'd expected. It wasn't what she expected at all actually. It was as if this summon didn't even accept her. He wouldn't give her instructions knowing the truth but give a small voice of wisdom, "It may be hard to face the new child, but it is as simple as opening a door. Besides there have been much more terrifying summons, and many more cowardly summoners." With his calming words Lucille sat the disk on the circle.

Soon the circle would glow, and the young plant girl would pop out as if expecting confetti to pop out the small plant girl would pop out with her arms in the air, and making a funny pose. Meanwhile Lucille would stare in awe and confusion, she was pretty but she didn't look very strong. This stupor wasn't helped by the alluring smell of the creature practically having suffocated her nostrils from the time she spent in the cave. Quickly the girl would jump down and give her a hug before grabbing her hand and taking her outside the cave with her as if dragging her, "You are the best summoner ever your so tall(Notably only a inch taller). you're cute too, oh oh and look at that hair I only thought humans have like 4 shades of hair, brown, yellow, black, and white, and....."

"Don't be to rough on her little sprout...He I probably should of warned her about that one. WEll you know what they say mother like daughter" The enigma would say to himself before preparing for the next kid.

As the duo exited the portal the sprout would come out screaming, "Let's go find your friends alright I can't wait to brag about having you as a summoner." The girl would seem to cause a crowd to follow and stare her beautiful scent, vibrant colors, and loud personality attracting the view of everyone else. She seemed to push her way threw to the crowd till she noticed Lucille look at edge and the angel again. "Hello this is Lucille, and I am her summon Isabella nice to meet you."

"Hi..." Lucille would say exhausted from being tugged around, shy, and confused how her summon could be so bubbly.

"The reason I'm here?" Eris said in response to Lucille's unexpected question. Well, if there was an specific reason it would be the same as any other thing that she always did, "Simply put, I strive to be the best at whatever task catches my attention at a time, and for summoning there's no better place of learning than this school."

"As for your other questions, i'd say that horses are my favorite beast, though I do hold cats in as much a high steem. No, I'm related in anyway to Meeka, except by the fact that she posses the only thing that I value more than power in this world, byt the way, so do you."

After that Eris waited patiently for her turn to arrive as she watched both Lucille and Meeka go inside the portal and come back with creatures of very interesting appearance... that's what she thought at least, specially Lucille's summon was a rather odd one. The only thing getting into Eris' nerves was the presence of that angel, and she couldn't help but glare at the taller being for as much time as she stood there waiting.

---

Finally her turn came, and after Eris was guided inside the portal by the blue apparition, led through the cave by the red one, picked a disk and unlocked the creature within, she left the cave with a triumphant smile in her lips and a 15 feet long black dragon walking by her side.

There wasn't summon more fit to her than the most majestic of all magical beasts, a being whose very existence was defined by it.

---

"I have returned, this is Fafnir, once slain by the hero Siegfried and now serving under an oath of loyalty to me." Eris said addressing Meeka, Lucille, her apparent boyfriend, as well as their summons all at once.

"Summoning him was very taxing for my body, so if there's nothing else for us to do today. I'd like to ask if you would like to come with me for a bath, Meeka and Lucille. Also, there's something that I want to tell you while we are at it." Eris said as she stepped between the girls. Then she turned to Fafnir and said, "You can go back to your other form, Fafnir."

With that, the once dragon changed from his full body form to one that could rest easily perched atop Eris' shoulders, it was much easier to have him around when his body didn't occupy their entire room, after all.

Finally before departing, Eris turned to Edge and said, "I apologize for the inconvenience of taking Lucille away from you, but I'm sure that we shall meet again by lunchtime. However, it's imperative that a girl always be like a flower at the apex of her bloom, so I guess you can understand. Don't you?" She shook the boy's hand after this, but disregarded the angel completely as she made her way to the dorms.

Behind Eris, a small trail of dark feathers could be seen.

Lazarus entered the cave and started to walk down into it. He kick a few of the disks on the ground as he continued walking. He felt nothing at first, no sign that his summon was in this cave. Unfortunately he came here to get one and he isn't leaving till he gets one. He adventures even deeper into the cave and it soon became dark. He turned around to see where the light went but the exit was completely gone. He then felt a small twinge of frustration, but it was almost like it wasn't his own. He continued walking getting closer to this feeling that was all so too familiar. He was at the point that the cave was too small for him to walk, so he began to crawl. As he did he sliced his hand on a sharp piece of stone. Multiple unholy words shot out from his mouth and more hatred built up inside of him.

That's when he heard a sound, no it was more like a whisper. He he continued on his path with his hand still open and bleeding. The voice then became u understandable and said, "Come to me." The voice went from a whisper to a booming voice the closer he got to his summon. Finally he saw a disk that almost looked like it was darker than pitch black, it was like black black. He took the disk and the black began shooting out of the disk growing bigger and bigger forcing him to crawl as fast as possible out before being painfully forced out by the blackness. He stumbled over a rock considering he couldn't really see. The only way he was able to see his summon or at least he think it's he summon is that it was blacker than black.

It eventually turned itself into a humanoid shape and stared straight at him. This was one of the few times he has felt fear and this was utterly terrifying. He froze unable to move, not even able to think straight, with tears rolling down his cheeks. It loomed over him opening its razor sharp mouth and said with the most unexpected cheerful voice, "Aw, you poor thing, your hurt. We should get you to a nurse." As he took his hand and wrap it I a blackish substance that felt extremely soft.

At first he was completely dumbfounded, unable to process what just came out of its mouth. After he process what just happened, he cried even harder from utter rage for his summon scarring him like that. He screamed and flailed his arms punching it, like a little toddler throwing a temper tantrum, which did nothing to Retorikā. Retorikā, who obviously read the situation wrong, cocooned him as if he were to rock a baby and said, "There, there it's ok, Retorikā is here." this infuriated him more and he began kicking and squirming in a attempt to fight back, though he was no match of the fluffy ball Retorikā had turned into and surrounded him in, and quickly ran out of energy. After he was done, completely exhausted he said, "Lets just get out of here and never speak of this again." Retorikā nodded and they exited the cave.

He emerged from the cave covered in dirt, scrapes and cuts. He dragged his feet exhausted not even trying to hide it, with Retorikā right behind smiling his demonic smile, waving at everyone. He ended up almost bumping into this girl already at through the test and was holding.....a plant? "Wut...." He said looking between the 1 inch summon and the roughly 5 to 6 feet of Retorikā. Retorikā right behind waved very happily with is demonic smile and said in that ridiculous voice, "Hiiiiiiiiii, m name is Retorikā, and you are? Asking the girl.

@Ruby Etra

When it was her turn Sen stepped through the portal, shivering as she felt the magic take her into another plane of existence. She stepped out into a cave filled with many discs, and though she had prepared herself mentally for having to search diligently to find the summon right for her, the pink haired girl found herself snatching up one of the first disks she saw.

“No need to be so hasty, child,” the red mist chided.

“This is the one,” Sen said confidently, clutching the disk tightly in her hands. The red enigma was silent for a moment before turning and leading her to the magic circle. Gently, Sen laid the stone disk into the center and stepped back. Nothing happened for a moment and the teen was beginning to think that her summon was not going to accept her, but then the incantation circle caught fire and out stepped a black and red creature.

“I am Nosk,” he said without moving his mouth, his aqua eyes boring into hers. “Who stands before me now?”

“Arsenia,” she said quietly and swallowed hard to try and calm her nerves. She met the wolf beast’s gaze head on, refusing to be intimidated into looking away.

“Hmm,” Nosk said, stepping forward to circle around the girl’s legs. “You’re awful tall for a girl. Not much to look at either,” he complained while dipping his head down and bumping it hard into her stomach. Sen grimaced but planted her feet and stayed steady on her feet. “Solidly built, good stance. Maybe you won’t die so quickly as my last summoner,” he mused to himself before standing in front of her and baring his teeth in an odd parody of a grin. “I accept.”

---

Sen stepped through the portal and Nosk followed close after. She was feeling a little drained and was thinking about just heading back to her room, when she saw Edge standing not far away next to a beautiful girl with angel wings. “Hey!” she greeted, jogging over to the two of them. “Is this your summon?”

@Apollosarcher

Meeka nearly doubled over from her sitting position with fright when she saw Eris come out with her summon. "What the heck!?" She worded with her mouth, she had never seen something so big. The biggest summon she had ever seen was her dad's, and it was fighting in the arena then. Where did this magnificently terrifying creature come from. Meeka sat up again, she had no idea what to think as Eris came walking over. Her thoughts were so muddled, she didn't know what to do, then Eris said, "I have returned, this is Fafnir, once slain by the hero Siegfried and now serving under an oath of loyalty to me." Meeka couldn't say anything, she didn't even know why she was afraid, it's just. She saw something inside of that dragon that scared her more than anything else. "You see it to Meeka?" Rune said as he walked over to stand between Meeka and the dragon. "Wait... Are you the reason why I am seeing all these things inside people?" "Indeed. I will explain more about it later, but for now you can let me handle this."

Rune sat down staring the at the dragon for a bit than looked at Eris. "Meeka would love to accompany you to the bath, I just did not know there was a public one at this school." Meeka looked at Rune with surprise, "You can talk to other people too?" Rune looked back at her at simply walked behind her and started to push her up. Meeka realized what was going on and she stood up.

"You can go back to your other form, Fafnir."

The dragon shrunk to a size big enough to fit on Eris' shoulder. Meeka was all the more surprised, she had no idea what to think anymore. She just simply stood and patted Rune's head gently. Meeka started to look around, it seemed that the other girl, Lucille was having her hands full with her summon. Good grief, she thought to herself as she followed Eris down the road, Rune trailing behind her.

As the girls left Edge called out to them. "Lucille is not my girlfriend!" He yelled anger that his own summon, an angel was already starting rumors about him and some rich girl. He sighed and looked back at her with a slightly anger tone, then she put a hand to his forehead and he calmed down, he sighed. "I hate how you can make me calm even when I want to throttle you." He grumbled to the angel.

"Of course, it would make you look like a brute if you hit a precious little angel like me." She batted her eye lashes and stuck out her tongue.

"Great your a bratty angel." He said turning to look at Sen as she up to him.

"Yep, Auriel, the clueless and secretly out to ruin my life Angel of Hope." He said sarcasm dripping from his voice as he looked at Sen. "Cool wolf, he looks pretty fierce, he seems a good fit for you. Jury's still out on Auriel and me." The angel glared at her summoner.

"Oh and Auriel this is Sen. My friend, please don't go around thinking that every girl I introduce you is my girlfriend." He grumbled looking at the angel.

It felt like an eternity had passed since he started waiting to receive his summon. He watched student after student walk through the portal and come out minutes later with a summon to call their own. Was it really that simple of a process? When his turn approached, Blanc was hesitant to walk through the portal, but instead of backing down he forced himself to step forward.

It all happened in a flash, he was no longer in the waiting hall, instead of a cavern, he found himself in a labyrinth that was filled with thousands of disks, there wasn't anyone here either. It was just him alone with his thoughts. This wasn't what had been described to him countless times before. This was not a cavern, there was no red cloud of smoke ready to greet him. Where was he? All this was running through his head. Was he just supposed to wait for someone to arrive? That couldn't have been right, something must have gone wrong. It was up to him now to find his summon. This was his journey.

He walked for what seemed like days, everything was the same. No matter what direction he went it felt like he was going in circles. Every path was identical, there were no defining features to be had. "Hello!" Blanc called out, there was no response besides his own echo. He was truly alone. Where am I..... Where am I? wheramiwhereamiwhereami. It began as a simple thought, but soon it was echoing in his mind over and over again. He just couldn't take it anymore. "WHERE AM I!" He yelled, "SOMEONE! ANYONE!" Still no response, this wasn't a joke. Despite how much he wanted to believe it, this wasn't just some elaborate game. It hit him harder than expected, breaking into a sprint he began to run through the corridors. Everything was the same, no path lead him to anywhere he hand been before. This truly was a labyrinth without an exit. He was trapped, no one was coming to get him.

How many days had it been? What week was it? These all faded into obscurity as Blanc began to break down in both mind and body. He was weak from the endless walking, and the stress of trying to find a way out of the labyrinth was finally getting to him. Had everyone forgotten about him? It wasn't too long ago that he made his first friend, they had to be looking for him. They were going to come, someone was going to come. He just couldn't do it anymore, crumbling into a ball he put his head down and accepted his fate. He was going to die in this place, his only regret was that he didn't leave more of a mark on the world. "I'm sorry everyone." These were the last words Blanc managed to squeak out before shutting his eyes. He had finally accepted his fate. You're weak, its pathetic. Stand up you're making me sick. Was this reality? Had he heard a voice or was it just his imagination. All you want to do is save others, yet you can't even save yourself. What is this a joke? The answer is right in front of you, just open your eyes. What did he mean? He had been there for days, there wasn't a way out, everything was the same. He didn't want to open his eyes, but like a fool latching on to any bit of hope he could grab onto, he did. In front of him was a large door, it gave off a very sinister presence and was decorated with skulls. How could he have missed this? There, you're one step closer to realizing the truth. Now come to me, I've been waiting a very long time for this. Forcing himself to his feet, Blanc slowly stepped forwards towards the door. The closer he got, the further away it seemed to get. Was this another game, he wasn't about to spend the rest of his life chasing this door. Lunging forward, he grabbed hold of the knob and pulled it open.

Darkness, darkness all around, he was no longer in the labyrinth, he was nowhere. It was an empty space with no end, it was like inescapable hell. Just a little further my child. The voice that had guided him out of the labyrinth continued to call out to him. Who was this voice, what did it call him his child.

A light, a light off in the distance. In the center was a simple disk. It looked similar to the thousands that he had seen while exploring the labyrinth. It was different though, it gave off an aura of darkness, and on the front, words in a language he couldn't understand had been engraved. All men have darkness within them. Accept me and I shall allow you to harvest that darkness. Blanc, I am your summon. I am ISIEL. It was obvious now that this was the source of the voice, no one was guarding him. It was all just a voice inside his head. Reaching forward Blanc grabbed hold of the disk and immediately felt a burning sensation in his arm. [color=ed1c24][i]I am thou, thou art I. We have created a bond forged by fate. You have chosen this path, there's no going back.[/i[/color]] Pain washed over his body, it was like an external force had fused itself with his very being. It was indescribable, he fainted almost instantly. When he awoke, he was in back in the waiting area. What felt live years had only been five minutes. Nothing seemed to have changed, but when he looked down, there was a sword that looked to have been forged in the pits of hell grasped in his hands.

"Oh and Auriel this is Sen. My friend, please don't go around thinking that every girl I introduce you is my girlfriend,” Edge told his angel, and Sen smiled ruefully.

“Don’t listen to him Auriel, he’s a lady killer. Rumor has it he has a different girl for each part of town,” the pink haired girl joked, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear. “This is Nosk,” Sen said as the summon circled the red eyed boy and sniffed curiously at his hand.

“Hello man-child,” the wolf creature said without opening his mouth, bumping his muzzle into the taller teen’s hand in greeting. Nosk shifted his gaze over to Auriel and gave her a nod, “Hello, strange bird-beast.”

“She’s not a bird!” Sen said quickly, flushing slightly in embarrassment. “He just told you she was an angel.”

“My apologizes,” Nosk replied with a chuckle, brushing against Auriel’s legs. “Hello angel bird-beast.”

Auriel gasped. "Your an animal Edward! How could you so cruel to so many young maidens!" She huffed as Edge face palmed and glared at Sen.

Edge looked the angel and groaned. "First off, that was a joke. You need to learn how to understand them, second I'm Edge not Edward."

Angel rolled her eyes and looked to the wolf. "I am simply an angel, not angel bird-beast." She said bowing to Nosk. "I'm happy to meet, you have quite the friendly summoner." She said smiling at Sen.

Edge rolled his eyes. "Sorry I lost you back there, Lucille walked into a wall and I had to help her out. So what's my buddy been up?" He said with a smile as looked between there summons and then back to Sen.

This power, it was overwhelming, it felt like had the strength of ten men. "Isiel, what is this power" He whispered to the blade, it would seem rather strange if anyone saw him talking to a sword. This power is yours. I feed of the darkness that is in the hearts of all men. Your heart only knows darkness. The sound of the demons voice echoed inside of his head. Some form of telepathy must have allowed him to communicate with Blanc without actually being able to speak. Summoner, we have a problem. There is an angel amongst these summons. If she is worth anything she'll notice my presence and want to fulfill her duty of destroying demons. We have two options, strike first or run. Your choice. There was no way Blanc was going to run away, if someone intended to cause him harm, he'd take them out with no remorse. Standing from his seat, Blanc started to walk in the direction of the Angel. Summoner, I'd recommend flanking around the target then striking from behind. You aren't strong enough to take an Angel head on just yet. In this form I can only do so much. Blanc ignored the warning from Isiel and approached the Angel head on. He had the perfect opportunity, but before he could attack something in the back of his mind told him to stop. What had gotten into him, why was he acting so irrationally? While lost in thought he continued to walk, by the time his attention was drawn back to reality he was standing right in front of the group. They were all faces that he recognized from earlier today. To think one of them would summon an Angel. He didnt say anything, he just stood there fighting with his self over wither he should attack or not.

"Sorry I lost you back there, Lucille walked into a wall and I had to help her out. So what's my buddy been up?" Edge said with a smile, and Sen started to respond, but stopped when the other white haired boy from earlier shuffled up to their group. He had a white knuckle grip on a wicked looking sword, and seemed paler than earlier in the day.

“Hey, are you alright?” Sen asked, taking a step towards the other teen, but Nosk moved to block her progress, a low growl rumbling through his chest in warning. “Hey, knock it off,” the green eyed girl huffed and began to move around her summon, but the wolf creature snapped at her when she got too close.

“Stay away from this human, little one,” Nosk ordered, keeping Sen in his sights but not turning his back fully to the new boy. “The stench of darkness is all around him.”
