Lisa had done it, she had fought her way all the way to the top of this twisting tower, even with each floor being harder than the last. The last boss had only been a level 3 but to her level 1 it was quite a hard fight, but Lisa was already pretty good at using her Katana, the games weapon system was amazing and the more you used a weapon the more effective you were with it. That being said Lisa was still only a newbie and she was just now about to retrieve her summon. In the final room Lisa found a massive summoning circle lit with candles and different things laying in it the one that stood out to her were three shuriken laying together. She opened her inventory and took out the note she had taken off the bosses corpse, on it was the chant to summon whoever this was and with an excited and shaky breath she started the ritual by activating the circle and began speaking the chant, "Come forth Master of shadow, come forth and be my blade in the night. If you here my plea come and fight at my side. Where I will be seen, you will be the unknown. Where I will walk in the light, you will hunt in darkness. I shall never fear the dark again. Come forth I summon thee!!!"

For the moment when after the chant was made, it was quiet. It was a little too quiet until a small explosion of smoke came from the middle of the circle as the fumes began spreading. In the midst of this, there was a shadowy blur that shot up from the circle and went through the smoke as someone...or something flipped in the air until landing on it's feet in a crouch with it's head down.

The smokey substance that must've looked like hair was wavy on top of the summon's head, showed it's characteristic. The being that was just summoned, brought it's head up, red eyes beaming at whoever summoned it. The creature...or...person had a serious look, well...what looked like a serious look from the staring it did while the rest of the face was covered up. The creature went from kneeling to standing when it's eyes met with Lisa. The creature was surely shorter than the young woman but with it's stance, it seemed not afraid of her at all or anything to that matter.

It took a few moments of silence for it to feel a little awkward that the being crossed it's arms and averted it's eyes not knowing what to expect from this individual. Instinct told him to throw a smoke pellet and hide from her but because of the rules of being summoned, it sort of had a new master but these summonings they could be troublesome.

As Dante was climbing up the ruins fighting through the hoards of enemies from undead to demons. His twin long swords slicing through them and wrighting down what was needed for a summon. He was picking up some drops from enemies to sell later.
Here came the last boss of this qeust a sentient armor level 3 witch was harder then he expected.
They clashed weapons again and again before the final blow landed and the armor fell.
A summoning circle appeared on the wall behind where the armor fell
He was looking at the items and one caught his eye. A double edged long sword stuck in the ground.
He began the ritual.
"sword that stands protector that be give me strength. "the circle lit up a red glow and a hand shot out and grabbed the sword.

As the smoke filled the area Lisa was on guard waiting for some kind of trap or trick boss, it might have been a little cheesy to do something like that but she would never put it past game makers. However upon seeing her summon she simply followed suit and said nothing for a few seconds, after a while he gave her a sideways glance which was good enough for Lisa, "You don't talk much I take it?" Lisa looked at him with a strange determination that almost didn't look right in the eyes of such a young girl, "Don't worry about it. You don't have to say anything unless you want to." She smiled a bit, "I'm Lisa...Look I'll be honest here..." Her eyes met his again, "I want to win...I want to have the greatest adventure ever, I want to go around slaying monsters, I want to go see things in this world, I want to delve into dungeons and destroy every enemy and I want to beat this game..." There was wild fire in her eyes, "and I believe you're the perfect partner for me...together we can beat anyone...I know it..." Lisa would extend her hand to him, "What do you say?"

@Blueflame

The hand that now gripped the sword was clad in a shining steel armor with blue accenting, for a moment it simply rested upon the blade in its grasp before suddenly using it as leverage to pull himself out of the other realm and into reality. Now standing before Dante was a knight carrying a sword and shield, standing at 6 foot 3 inches he towered over most men. Despite that, he had look of kindness in his eyes that seemed to ease even the air around him. After taking a moment to breathe in the air, Agarius knelt down on one knee in font of Dante keeping his eyes to the ground, "My master...You have summoned me to your side...With my shield I will protect you...with my sword I will slay your enemies...At all times I will be in your service...As long as I stand beside you, you will never come to harm." The knight looked up into his eyes with a look of pure reverence for the moment, "I am Agarius...The Last Sentinel...What shall I call you master?"

Thinking for a moment Dante said "dante or dean your choice " he smiled and said "let me be honest with you. You look like a total bad ass."

Lorenzo was walking through time square waiting for the chiming of the bells from the Majestic cathedral when the doors opened up for people to come in. He heard that there were prizes that could be had if he was to enter. Different days, different prizes they could pick up. he rushed in, hungry, thinking that he'd either get riches or food depending on the NPC he runs into. If there were enemies he'll take them out as well. After entering and the doors closed behind him, Lorenzo saw a few robed individuals walking in two lines following what looked to be a priest. But none of this really mattered to the Kuma...what caught his eyes did. he saw the priest NPC carrying a small chest like box in his hand and walked over noticing they were heading through some doors that led to the back. Rushing over, he intercepted them as they stopped and he bowed as if giving respects until....Kuma snatched the box out of the Priests hands Gimme that shit! he shouted as the priests and robed men suddenly drew up cross looking swords with the Priest having a claymore.

Kuma, despite his strength and skills, decided to run for it but...he was blocked from leaving to go outside and rushed through the back. Using his strength, he punched the priest knocking him into the robed men and ran for it. Being chased, he opened the box noticing a Key inside and something written under the lid saying: To reach the gates of heaven, you must aim high and rejoice! With that, Lorenzo made it to the very top of the cathedral where the bells were and there was a balcony platform that the key was glowing at.

Locking the door from the priest and robed men, Kuma had no other place to go realizing this could be a summon. Remembering something else the box said, it told him a chant. He held out the key to the open space in front of the platform as a golden gate appeared before him. I shalt open thy Heaven's gate to release thee to vanquish evil! he said sliding the key into the gate's key hole and stood back looking.

Soga stood there while listening to Lisa. At first he didn't think much of her but what got his attention was her attitude. yeah he didn't talk much but while listening to her, he started to make eye contact with her again seeing the fire in her eyes. he simply stood there quiet as she rambled on about what she had in mind doing while being partners. When she asked if he's like to basically be her partner and do all that stuff she named, he looked down for a moment as if he had to think this through and looked back up at her and her hand. For a few moments of no response, he swiftly brought his hand up reaching for hers as to give a shake of agreement. He nodded his head and closed his eyes in a way that showed as if he was happy and smiling under his mask. "Soga!" he said in a simple quick whisper type tone to tell her his name.

"Hallelujah! Lelujah! Lelujah!"

An unseen choir from beyond the gates chorused with perfect sync, hinting at the infinite time they had to be this in tune with the other singers. A white dove fluttered its frantic way out as if freedom was its oasis in a barren desert of confinement.

It flung its way towards Lorenzo then collided into the large-built young man; feathers exploding before they glowed and morphed into white sparkles; the bird a ball of mystical energy supposed to enhance his health regeneration.

Bare toes emerged and wriggled to test waters before a whole blonde adolescent stepped out from the white blanket of light. The iridescent snow-coloured dress fluttered as if live with energy on its own.

As the gateways slowly shut themselves to close away the background harmonising and harsh glare of white, the flaxen-haired maiden looked back at her origin one last time, turning towards her summoner afterwards. The dress eased into a gentle sway, hem flirting with her knobby knees. Turquoise eyes glimmered with hesitant determination and fixated upon the one who called her forth the other world.

"Since old ages, angels have been delegated the mission to protect humans. I, Calixte, Angel of Healing, too shall bear this honour to serve you, Master...-sama."

@King Tai

With a raised eyebrow watching and listening to the joyful melody when the gates opened. Tilting his head to the side while listening, he noticed what looked to be a bird shooting towards him and colliding making him feel some sort of bliss. What the- watching the morphing glow as in the blinding light, he saw something step forth.

With a blank look noticing this being that he summoned was an angel....a child-like one. With her dress swaying gently, Kuma shook his head trying to come to terms with what just happened when the angel spoke to him. Wait...ok....uh...an angel? Damn...I wanted a samurai or a nine-tailed fox....*sigh* oh well...Cali-something right? I'm Kuma. and since you said you are on a mission to protect humans and all, mind helping me with those bastards that's about to break down the door and attack me? he looked on checking the girl out. Hm...she's a bit cute...no no man up Kuma...

@King Tai

The moment their hands connected Lisa's smile beamed from inside her, she was happy that she had made a real partner, "Soga..." She said it softly, as if she was seeing how it tasted upon her tongue, "It's perfect, Soga and Lisa, even our names go well together." She looked at him in the eyes again smiling happily, "We're going to be best friends I know it."

@Blueflame

Agarius nodded at the sound of his master's name, "There was a holy warrior with the name Dante once...It is a powerful and righteous name. It is my utmost pleasure to have your back Dante." Agarius smiled softly and nodded at what Dante said next, "In my present state I have five bronze stars. I am fit to protect you from many enemies."

"well now that we met now what?" Dante ask as they were walking to the exit of the ruins.@Kiss Of Night

@Blueflame

Agarius started walking towards the exit with Dante, his expert eyes darted about watching for surprise attacks, "It is up to you Dante...If you wish to see my skills we could go and fight some monsters." Agarius was ready if that was what his master wished.

"ok let me sell somethings first." he said as the reached the exit.

@Kiss Of Night

(Sorry for the absence...I was out of town for the weekend.)

Soga took a moment to meditate on the two names going together. The names sounded okay but he felt that they may need more time together to know for sure if they were truly meant to work together. She seemed quite pleasant but did she have that killer instinct in her to finish off even the toughest of foes? Did she crack under pressure? These things went through his mind when he gave her a simple but pleasant nod when he approved of their working together. He wondered what was next regarding their journey as he looked around the room.

@Blueflame

Agarius nodded to Dante as they stepped out into beautiful shining daylight, all around them was beautiful nature and for a moment Agarius lost his composure in the face of the true beauty of truly breathing the air of the living again, "Lead the way my friend, where you go I shall follow."

@King Tai

Lisa kept smiling and then took a moment to check over her equipment in front of Soga, after taking her time to check out her inventory and any gold she might have picked up she turned back to Soga as if reading his thoughts, "We should probably stop in town and grab some items before we head off to grind and get some levels under our belts."

@Kiss Of Night ok then let's go Dante said as he began walking back to the town to get to the market.
