Drenscal's Return

## Story

Kryis watched as Shadow left and smiled then with Mina and Slonic walks back to town they make it there and the teacher and his friends see her coming and say you are okay that is the best news how is everyone she replied with they are all fine and just building a dock to the south just in case a ship comes so we can get on board the ship so we can do and find another one of my lost friends Drenscal. The teacher replied with that is great there are some things we need to discuss tomorrow could you stop by the Magic School Kryis agreed and then Mina said we should look for more people to join us so when we get to a place we can call our home we can set up a base.

The teacher replied with that is what these 4 ladies with me are for then will be joining you as well to help you out even if only a little bit they would really like to help you out. He introduced them one at a time he said meet Serena she is a Elven Ranger also very quite but she will open up. Serena says hi but very shy like and Kryis said welcome to the team Serena. Then he said next up meet Lufina she is the best Tailor in town and makes the best clothes as well may she be of grate assistance to yo. Lufina looked over at Kryis and said thanks for allowing me this opportunity to not only travel but to work else where and meet many new people Kryis said you are welcome and welcome to the team. The teacher then said meet Bruna she runs the Inn in this town the one you stay at to be exact Bruna said hello nice to meet you I will help you but I also need your help with something too Kryis agreed and said she will get right to it after talking to the teacher at the school tomorrow Bruna agreed to that and joined the team. The final member here is Kathrine she is a Elf bard that is very calm and she will be good to help you sleep lady Kryis she agreed and then Kathrine said you look very beat tired we should head to the inn so you can relax I will play a very relaxing song so you can get some sleep Kryis agreed and then said welcome to the team Kathrine and all the girls go to the Inn as Slonic does what he needs to do.

A short while after he closed his eyes he senses that he is surrounded so Shadow stands up and then opens his eyes slowly. He turns around and sees several of the summons that he has seen before and several he doesn't know. He can see in the distance someone coming towards them and he sighs " Why do people always have to crowd around me."

Slonic is thrown out of a building near the in just before they all enter the inn. " Damn you Drel. You know damn well that those things are mine ordered and paid for." He gets up and then marches back in to the building. A few guards look at the building and then sigh as they have to go and make sure Slonic doesn't break anything.

Mina and Kryis go to see what is wrong with Slonic and if at all possible help him out as all the others head in to relax in the Inn.

Slonic walks back out of the building and then turns back and says " You are a coward more than I am. I paid you for these ingredients so you owed them to me you jerk." He then walks away and sits down to start making a few salves with the ingredients that he got. They would be useful for quick wound healing.

Mina and Kryis ask why did you make the scene is something the matter and why do you not have all your ingredients I thought you bought many things.

"That idiot that I bought them from decided that he didn't want to give them to me so I took the ones that I could see and left. I will be back with the guards to get the rest of my items later."

Shadow pushed his way through the crowd and then looked at the one in the distance. " You I remember the last time we meet. You tossed me around and then left with Kryis and pissed me off. What good am I when they already have you." He clenched his fists and waited for a response form Krace.

Krace responded with you were just not strong enough then Shadow even I was beaten by Kryis alone and even though she barely beat me she did it all on her own take a good look Shadow all these summons here are hers every single one is now her summon and she will get even more and the summon world will then again prosper once again.Krace said you are also only a temporary summon Shadow when you get all your strength back the bond between you and her will break and you will be able to go back to your original body and then you will be even stronger then before you left.

Meanwhile Kryis and Mina told Slonic to come to the Inn and stay there once he is done and once he gets all his Items because that is where they will be. Mina and Kryis walk inside the Inn and Bruna said Lady Kryis you look exhausted go get some sleep so Kryis goes up to her room and Kathrine plays her a song and she falls asleep until morning.

Shadow nods and then says " Yes I know about me but out of the few here that I have seen I still don't know any of your names." Shadow just looks around and then says " You did teach me a lesson though. If I was ever going to be of any help to this group I needed to be stronger. I also know that you are all a lot less strain to summon than I ever will be."

Slonic entered the inn a few hours later with all of his items. He sat down and waited while he made his salves.

Krace told Shadow well you already know some of them but to refresh you memory I will tell you all that is here. Krace said lets begin Ryuku the White Dove, Mirei the Fairy, Valik the Wolf, Laris the Harpy, Belbargo the Bear, and Rexer the T-Rex are the ones you should remember right shadow before stopping waiting for a reply.

While sleeping the Woman that came into Kryis dreams reappears and says to her good job you are making very great progress gathering the summon she then steps closer so she can be seen and says my name is Ramity I am the Elven Moon Goddess and also a High Level Summon you will eventually find me but Like Krace I will be a challenge to face but for now I will help you locate the others.Kryis talks to her and says what is up next Ramity replied when you go to see the teacher tomorrow it's the same job the Innkeeper wants you to do listen to both of them then get prepared as your next destination is the same place Desann your other ally stole from. Kryis shakes her head and says thanks Ramity then Ramity vanishes and she know continues to sleep till morning.

Shadow looks at them in turn and then nods before saying " Yes I remember them now death is not easy on the mind." He then steps back and looks at the rest of them and say " Now for the new ones that I have yet to see or even meet yet."

Slonic fell asleep in a chair while he was making he salves.

Krace then says fine pay attention Shadow she has gotten many since she was separated from you and that Monk so here goes hes looks at the remaining summons and says there names one at a time Ruka the Spider, Tarvos the Minotaur, Kupicho the Chipmunk, Venamous the Cobra, Shikuren the Dragon oddity he was one you challenged and lost to, Nira the Unicorn, Mavelle the Mermaid, Pietro the Vampire, Galvice the Tiger, Haku the Wraith and her birth father then me Krace the Kraken now you know all who is here for now Shadow.Krace said you should check out the Summon Village Kryis did do an amazing job restoring it you should be proud of her.

That morning Kryis woke up feeling completely refreshed went down stairs and ate breakfast with the others.

"There may come a time that I join you in the village but for the time being I will be busy training. I have more power than i'm used to using so I need to get it under control. Its good to see all of you and you may find me somewhere alone testing my abilities." Shadow says and then walks away into the distance so he is far away from the village while he trains.

Slonic wakes up with a start after they have all had their breakfasts. he packed up all of his stuff and then was ready to go.

Kryis and Mina finish eating Kryis speaks to Bruna about what the problem is she say three people where taken to the richest man in town just because they did not agree with him and they have not been seen again since so Kryis says I will look into it and Bruna says thank you and packs a small lunch for the group and they all head outside where they see Serena waiting outside with Slonic and they fill them in on everything Mina waits with the others as Kryis heads to the Magic School to get more information from the teacher there so she heads out and walks inside to talk to the teacher and the others wait for her outside by the Inn.

Krace said to the other summons he will be back until then we will live our life safely here in town everyone else agrees and head
back into the Summon Village waiting for when the day comes that Shadow sees the town.

Shadow landed far out in the distance where he couldn't even see the village. He could still sense everything there and could easily send a mental message and get a mental message if they ever needed to talk with him. He sat down and started to think on how he would start his training. He knew that if he was needed as a summon one of them would tell him if he didn't sense it.

Slonic sighs and then says " Well I wish that I had some type of weapon but I know that I wouldn't be as useful with one. But just a dagger to protect my self would be nice." He looks over to weapon shop and then shakes his head.

Kryis enters the Magic School and goes to speak to the teacher when a girl shoves her and goes to the teacher as well the little girl walks in before Kryis but once she walks in the teacher shut the door and the teacher tells Kryis about the missing people and how they just up and vanish but he knows the location of the place it's the richest man in towns house. Kryis shook her head and said that is the place Desann stole from the teacher said yes but it's not really stealing if it's yours so he did nothing wrong but the owner of that house is hardly ever seen outside his house and the guards are the ones that bring the people to him.

Kryis says okay I will investigate it and get back to you the girl then says wait and the teacher says Astrid be more kind to Lady Kryis. Astrid said please take me with you I hate this school and I want out the teacher said well I can expel you from this school Astrid but that wont help Lady Kryis maybe if you take her with you and let her see the hardships you face she will become a better student please Lady Kryis take her with you she agrees to take Astrid but on the condition that she remains in rolled at the school and that she listens to everything she says Astrid and the teacher agreed and said go get you things Astrid and go to the Inn that is where you will be staying.While waiting for Astrid Kryis walks into the library in the school and look for a document of any kind leading to who or what that rich man's name is or history she found it strange that there was none and then saw Astrid ready to go so she walks out with her and heads back to the Inn and tells Astrid to stay here as she has no fighting experience she could get hurt Astrid agreed and stayed with everyone else and Kryis told Mina and Serena there next destination and stayed there till Slonic got back.

Shadow stood up and then smiled and then started to go through his combat moves just to get used to the new body. After a while he starts to test how far he can push his power with out needing to rest.

Slonic walks out of the weapon shop and shakes his head again. "At least I can use this when I need it most." He says to himself as he walks back to the inn.

Kryis along with Mina and Serena wait for Slonic to come inside so she can tell him everything before they head out.

Slonic enters the inn but before Kryis or anyone else can get up to talk with him a man sitting at the bar stood up and then pointed at him and said " Kill that man and I will pay you with any amount of money you need and could ever want. He speaks with the spirits and of the evil ones." Slonic rolled his eyes and then says " If you try that you will not walk away since your legs wont work anymore. Now just stay seated and when i'm gone question how that man could know these things. Plus I dont speak with the evil spirits since they are locked away now leave me to my business." He turned and left the inn and walked to the center of town to wait for the others.

Bruna having heard what that man said to Slonic comes out with a Frying Pan and starts to hit the man telling him this is my Inn deal with it you don't like one of my customers then pitch a tent and sleep outside town Kryis and all her allies begin laughing at him then Kryis,

Mina and Serena all go to find Slonic in the center of town and tell him everything that he needs to know before they head of to the Rich Man's house in town."Well this is not going to be fun for me since the spirits really don't like that place at all so i'm stuck with this sword as my only weapon. When the spirits don't like a place they wont let me borrow their power so i'm just a normal fighter on this one if you need me." Slonic says as he follows them.

Now with Slonic with them Kryis,Mina and Serena all go up to the house and that is when a very strong feeling comes in and Kryis knows it as it's coming from not one but two Summons in this house and she knows there are people inside as well so to be safe they walk in slowly and begin to search the Rich Man's house and find nothing not a single thing. But then Serena said I can sense something from this wall it was in a office room and you could feel a breeze the four of them split up to look for how to open the hidden path.

Slonic looks over the entire room and then feels the tug on his mind from one of the souls of the after live that died in this place. He listens to them for a bit and then slips back out of the room and heads down the hall looking for the room that they were describing to him.

When he finds it he takes a deep breath and then enters the room. He can see the blood stains on the wall from where people tried to get out when the door is locked on them. This was where his friend had died and he could feel the pain and hatred that filled the room. He walked back out and then just stared into the room sadly.

Kryis touches a table in the office and touched a button that opened the wall she looks around and does not see Slonic so she sends Serena to get him while Mina and her go look down there Mina uses Light to light up the whole place and they make it to a prison like room there are many cells with dead bodies and some with people that have not eaten for days. Kryis knew she had to free them but they did not have a key so her and Mina continued and came across the last two cells and inside one was three people and in the other one of the two was a summon the people asked Kryis to get them out she said she will and then a dwarf Miner said thank you we will wait here for you the Elf Banker then said hurry up already this place smells bad not for one of my nature to be here and then a human female Merchant stood up and said the owner has all my goods and then gave my shop to a crook that does not give everyone everything they ordered so please help me out of here and I will help you out. After they spoke Kryis turned around and the summon said to her your kind should be dead why are you alive Kryis responded with I was not in my town at the time so I survived the Summon said the owner of this house is the one keeping me locked up here and he himself is a summon yet he treats his fellow summons like dirt I will help you but he has the keys and he left a bit ago but he should be back the moment the summon said that The Owner appeared from behind Kryis and Mina the owner was angry that there were people in his house and disturbing him but then he senses Kryis's powers and said you will not send me to the Summon World not if I can help it the owner slowly begins to transform into his some form the Crocodile Summon he said I am Craco you beat me in battle I will let you free all the people and her pointing to the other summon that said her name was Lamae the Succubus Summon and she told Kryis pay no mind to everyone else focus on him do not drop your guard.

"I'm sorry that I was to late this time my friend. I hope that you are at peace there." Slonic said and then he turned to go back the way he had come only to get hit in the face with a metal bar and fall to the ground knocked out.

Serena makes it to save Slonic and she places an Arrow on the back of the head of the person and tells them to leave unless they want the arrow in there head permanently.

Mean while Mina and Kryis begin the battle against Craco they begin the fight with Kryis summoning Shikuren and he appears behind Craco does extreme fire damage to Craco then Mina uses Light and blinds Craco ending her turn as well.

Craco goes to attack Kryis but does only 100 damage as he really can't focus enough to do much more then that.

Slonic wakes up and then looks at who attacked him and says " Let her go. She's a friend and she just reacted our of fear." He stands up and then says "Lavanin Klotan. How have you been since we last saw each other sister." "They burned the monastery to the ground when you left and then killed all the others I was luck to get out. I have been hunting for a new home and then I find you again in this place. Anywhere your going i'm not
coming with good bye Slonic you pest." With that she reaches behind her head and grabs the arrow and in a flash slams it point first into the wall and then spins and punches at Serena's head as she slips past her.

Serena took the hit and let the girl go by and said we need to catch up to Kryis Slonic lets go.

Once it was back to Kryis she had Shikuren attack Craco again dropping him to below 50 health Craco worried knowing he is about to lose tried running but he can't as Mina has not taken her turn Mina chants a new spell called Aura Shockwave that attacks the enemy from the ground up and once Mina used it Craco was defeated and the key that opens all the cells was dropped from him.

Kryis gives the key to Mina to open all the cell doors starting with the most needy of people Mina yells for Serena and Slonic to come down and help these people out Kryis then touches Craco who begs with her not to send him back to the Summon World as there is no new ones there and it will be dull and boring Kryis said you have to and there are new summons there I know I sent them there so Craco then agreed to go and Kryis obtained Craco the Crocodile Summon.

Shadow having pushed his limits as far as he could on his own did what he had never done before and let the darkness inside of him take a physical form. evenly matched the battle raged on between them for a while but shadow had more endurance than his darkness and ended up winning the fight. He stood gasping for breath as his dark form faded away. It then started to reform into a new set of armor just for him. He looked it over and then put it on feeling the energy in the armor itself start to fill him with more power. He smiled and then went back to training.

Slonic did as he was told and help but was still unhappy with being here and not having saved his friend.

Drenscal sighed and then cut the ropes holding the row boat and started to row towards the land nearby. He knew this was where they would be and he would join them soon. He was less than a few hours away now but the big ship was still a day away on its own.

Mina throws the Key to Kryis who catches it and she opens up the cell with Lamae the Succubus inside Lamae said thanks to you I am free and can go back home here this is for you Lamae hands her another key that leads to where the merchants things are she then said I am ready and by the way I am your 6th secret summon so congratulations and Kryis touches her and Lamae becomes Kryis summon as Lamae is disappearing she says go to the room covered in blood there is a safe in there all that girls things are in there good luck she then vanishes and Kryis then walks over to where the others are and opens there cell the Dwarf walked over and said thanks my name is Zark if you don't mind I would like to join you and repay you for saving me Kryis agreed and told Zark welcome to the team he replied with no thank you and I am a Miner so if you need anything to be dug up call me. Then the Elf came forward and said I am so glad to get out of this filthy place I want to help you but all I am good at is watching money and keeping it safe Kryis says all help is appreciated and he agrees to join he said my name is Adanion and I am a Banker hope I am of some help. Then the girl comes forward and said thanks for helping me get out of here my name is Melody I am a merchant I sell all but food and magic Items so basically a General Store when we are safe somewhere I can open mine at your place since my place here is corrupted Kryis said thanks we will need your help alot and said lets go get your goods and help the others they catch up to Mina and the others and help them with bringing everyone out then they go to search the blood soaked room for the safe and Melody's Items.

Slonic stayed out of the room this time and walked around in the halls since the hatred was still powerful in the whole place he just wanted to leave right now.

Now with the team being Kryis, Mina, Serena, Slonic who remains outside the room, Zark, Adanion and Melody all search the room Serena finds the safe and then Adanion said let me as I am the one that installed it I know the password he input the password and the safe opened all of Melody's goods were in bags and everyone grabbed one and Zark handed one to Slonic so that all of Melody's goods will be taken out in one shot. They all walk out the house and the teacher says to Kryis congratulations thanks to you there is no more weird feeling in this town and all the people are safe thank you lady Kryis we are in your debt.

The Teacher walks away and Kryis tells them some of us should go and help the others outside of town with the Dock they are building to the South of town Zark said why don't we all go the town is safe Kryis said I will stay in town go to the Inn and get the others and head for the Dock our other friends are building I will remain here until everything is ready then we can go.Everyone agreed and they walked to the Inn to tell the others.

Slonic gladly left the town and when they got back to the dock he got to work.

Drenscal pushed the rowboat up on the beach a ways away from them building the dock and walked over and introduced himself. He could see that the ship was closer than he thought and would get there in about 4 hours.

When Kryis brought up sending people to the dock to help everyone agreed it wise to head there now as soon there will be no one there to help them anyway so Mina and Serena waited outside the inn with Zark, Adanion, and Melody they were then joined by Lufina, Bruna, Kathrine and Astrid that all walked out but before Bruna left she gave the Inn key to Kryis so she can stay there while everyone else was gone at the Docks.

Serena and Zark walked all the others and Mina to the Dock safely and saw that the dock was almost complete they just needed 2 more hours and more help and they would be done Jun and all the ones that stayed behind introduced themselves to Drenscal and then they saw the others comes and they to introduced themselves to the group and Jun saw Mina and asked where is Kryis.

Drenscal was busy with the dock but gave some time to the introductions.

Shadow felt something coming out his way from the village. He didn't pay much attention until he felt that there was someone else out there with him. He turned and was almost face to face with a projection of a dragon. He sighed and then said " What do you want other than to try and kill me."

The dragon laughed at him and then said " Oh little one you have no way of stopping me if I wanted you dead. I'm Blazen and your seem to be training yourself so I thought I could help you."

Shadow nodded and listens to the dragon for a while before they agreed to have a battle to test his abilities.

Mina told Jun that Kryis is staying in town just in case something happens but wants us to know she will be here in the morning to leave with us when the ship is ready to set sail. Jun said okay sounds like a good idea we do need all the help we can get building this Dock and it will be easier to make with all of them here.

Meanwhile Kryis sits down inside the Inn alone drinking some tea that Bruna left her so she was drinking some then sensed a very powerful enemy coming right for the town and it's location it was a hour and thirty minutes away from the town Kryis sounded the alarm in town and woke everyone up to evacuate the town and head to safety near the dock that was being built the teacher said I think all the people are out and then Kryis noticed two people still in town one in the Magic school and one at the Orphanage so Kryis told the Teacher to get the girl at the Magic School and she will get the girl from the Orphanage they rush to get them and bring them to the exit of town where the Teacher will then walk them to the docks.

The teacher get the girl and he noticed her as Sofia he yelled for her to move faster and she had just finished everything when he got there he grabbed her bag and said we need to get to the exit of town and fast lets go Sofia and they make it to the exit. Meanwhile Kryis runs through the Orphanage and finds the little girl named Okuna and said you can't be here the little girl was looking for her things when she realized that the lady that runs it has her things so she goes with Kryis and they make it down and thanks to Kryis they are all at the exit the lady of the orphanage was about to hit Okuna when they make it to the exit so Kryis grabbed that ladies hand and then smacked her.

Kryis told Okuna that you can come stay with me and my friends you don't have to go back too her once everything is good and everyone can come back. Okuna shook her head and said thanks. The teacher took Okuna with him but before he did he introduced Sofia to Kryis and said Sofia runs the Magic Shop in the school and is great with making new magics let her stay with you as well Kryis agreed so did Sofia and then the teacher took them both out of town saving them and they are now her allies as well.

Kryis waits the rest of the time alone in the town as all the civilians and the teacher as well as Okuna and Sofia and Kryis's allies wait for what is about to happen.

Slonic feels the same thing coming for the village and knows right away that it would easily kill Kryis with out even trying so he drops what he is doing and runs to the village but wont get there till after the power gets there first.

Shadow sits waiting for the battle to begin tapping his feet against the ground when he notices something out in the living world. He focuses on both waiting and then new feeling watching what will happen.

Kryis waits for it's arrival at any second and in the distance she sees it. It was a huge dragon and it was coming right for the village and it's energy was even stronger then Krace's but it was to late to run as the dragon spotted her and Kryis was in just shock that something as strong as that dragon existed and it's powers were to strong and she could sense that he was not weak to any element and that it's health was very large in the amount it was.

Krace knew that Kryis was in trouble but he could not interfere so he hoped Shadow noticed and would hurry and rush to Kryis's aide before it's to late.

Slonic got to the village and ignored the dragon and just ran over and grabbed Kryis and started to leave the village while yelling "

We don't have any chance against that thing we have to go now." Trying to get her to run on her own.

Shadow looked at the area around him and then growled. He drew his sword and then using his abilites he warped himself to the village knowing that it would tax Kryis to the point she couldn't move on her own but otherwise she would be killed. "Carry her out of here now Slonic and I will deal with this beast." He looked up and smiled " You have to deal with me now and I have much better training that you can feel from me right now so I give you one chance leave now or I will put you down."

Kryis looking just stunned but knew that the Dragon Shadow was about to fight was a Summon and she couldn't even muster enough energy to move her legs she tells Slonic she has to be near the fight in order to get the summon even if she doesn't fight she has to be there to obtain it.

Slonic sighs and stops outside the village.

Shadow jumps into the air and flys up to meet the dragon face to face. The dragon roars in his face and Shadow slams his fist into its lower jaw breaking the bones inside. He then flew out of its reach and dropped below it only to slam three more punches into its stomach and ribs each. The dragon started to fall to the ground roaring in pain as it shot out a clawed hand to grab Shadow. He folded his wings to avoid damage and then when the dragon slammed him into the ground he took the blow and using his sword stabbed the dragon's hand and got out and then with two more blows from his sword he rendered the dragon close to death. He backed away and said " You are strong but slow that is why I won this battle train more and you may some day beat me." He then warped back away from the village back to the summon world. When he left he also gave a full refresh of energy to Kryis and Slonic so they could continue on their way. He didn't stay standing long after getting back since he used all his power just to fight the dragon and recover from the single blow it landed.

Kryis and Slonic then enter the Dragon is very close to death but Kryis touches it and it becomes her summon and she hears the Dragon say my name is Bakotar I am the Elemental Dragon and I am yours to command Lady Summoner. Kryis felt the energy of that Dragon and it was even stronger then Krace so having him as a Summon would help and she can maintain it like Krace so she sends the Dragon to the Summon World then before they do leave for the docks Kryis looked at the spot where Shadow was slammed to the ground and picks up and item called Elemental Fury it's a pair of gloves for Monks so she picks them up and walks back with Slonic to the docks to tell everyone it's safe to return.

Slonic sits down near the water and then sighs.

Shadow falls into a deep sleep just to regain his strength from the over use of his power before he was fully ready. He could sense the changes in both worlds at the same time while he slept though.

Drenscal smiles when he sees Kryis but waits to ask if she knows where Shadow is.
