The Change

## Story

The Ship departs and once on the ocean it goes slowly and it does make it to the main part of the Northern Lands but then Kryis was forced to place the Piano on the deck of the ship as the ship would have sunk but they need a bigger ship so Kryis goes to get one that will be able to house alot of people and the Piano.

Shadow lands on the land near the ship and then walks to a location that he can just sit down and relax for a while. He watches what goes on while he does so.

Kryis then sees a ship docked at the port and it fits the description to what she needs so she needs to make sure that the Piano and all the people can be on it and then she notices that it's a Pirate Ship and then waits for the people that own the ship to appear.

Shadow closes his eyes and starts to rest for a few minutes. He is still alert and ready to act at a moments notice.

Kryis didn't see the people for the ship so she waits for the people to show up.

Shadow smies when he opens his eyes to see Val walking over towards him and then pauses since he can hear someone coming from behind them.

Kryis notices that the people that own the ship are only out at night and sees the leader of the ship approach hers and she stays awake to find out what they want.

Shadow and Val relax where they are waiting to see if they would be needed or not.

The person walks up to Kryis and introduces himself as Faust and that he is the owner of that ship but he knows that his ship is to big for just himself and can tell that she is having problems with hers if she wants he will let her have it but he will also have to join and go with her to recruit more Nobles like him that are willing to help her and then he asks her do we have a deal and Kryis says yes without hesitation and then said we have a piano onboard my ship that needs alot of space but also an area that is built to with stand not only the piano but also all the people that will be joining he said that is there on his ship and that he will dock his ship next to hers so that they can moves most of everything onto his ship and then Aldis can have a few people stay there on his with him and then Faust will lock his ship once the piano and Judith are there and then he will go with her on her journey to get more allies.

Shadow stands up and then walks a ways away from the others and stands staring out into the water with a sigh. " When the world has peace what will I do?" He asked himself as he noticed Val move to stand with him and could feel the gaze of his other friends glance over at him. He shook his head and sighed again.

Kryis's team once onboard Faust's ship and everything is in order they rest for the remainder of the night before searching the town in the morning.

Shadow and Val spend the night out in the open talking and just passing the time hoping that nothing comes along to break the peace that they have at the moment.

Kryis speaks to Faust about the main part of the Northern Lands and he tells her that there is alot of places to go and alot of people to get so it should only be a few people that leave so that the others don't get hurt or involved. Kryis agrees and then says they will leave in the morning to start gathering allies.

Shadow and Val spend the night outside next to each other. When the morning was starting to come Shadow turned to her and then said " I'm going to go with them on my own you stay with the others and keep them safe."

Kryis decided that she will take Faust to help her get more Noble's but she will also take with her Drenscal, Mina, Crisin, Ovelia, Ingrid, Isabella, Xebec and Carmen with her along with Ursula, Faina, Lumina, and Destini.

Once her team was now in place she decided to search the town for people and notices that there are a few there that are willing to join so Kryis and her allies begin to gather them one at a time.

As Shadow was about to walk away and join up with Kryis Val grabbed his arm and pulled him into a hug and then said " You had better keep them safe but you better keep your self safe above all else. Kryis is strong but your in a time of flux. dont let yourself become the next Sol." She let him go and looked into his eyes to see the happiness that was there.

"Val I'm happy that your here for me and I will always do what I can to help them but I wont let it put me at risk of anything. If I can help it I will always keep my self safe before them but if the time comes that I have to choose between myself and Kryis. I will chose her ever time. She is more useful to this world at this time." Shadow hugs her and then says " But dont worry I will always find my way back to you." He turns and then walks away to be joined by Drelon. " I'm coming with you and you cant say no. I want to get to know you since you have changed from the last time I was with you." Shadow nods and then says " well i'm just happy that my family is back together the way it should be. Not scattered to the corners of the world after a battle with an elder spirit." Together they walk away from the ships and head to follow Kryis. They both hold back from the others just in case they are needed for anything they can't react to fast enough.

Kryis and her team went to the town and found the first of the 3 people waiting outside a shop Kryis spoke to him and noticed that he was like Faust a noble he knew Faust was looking for people to join his crew but he knew that he already joined up with the summoner with him so he asked Faust a question and said why are you helping her and then Faust replied with because the more people that all share the same ideals join up under one strong person and stay by this persons side they will then reap the benefits of a gradually peaceful world where there will only be one place that people can go to fight if they want and that is an arena. The man then said great answer I will join my name is Augustis nice to meet you then lady summoner. Kryis said nice to meet you then they walk into the store and talk to the woman behind the counter and she already knows that Kryis is here to recruit her she said if you can make one new Oil I will join you so Kryis remembered the forest from where she was born and then made the Forests Allure Oil and then gave it to the woman she used it and then noticed it can heal the whole party's health 100% she then said wow I never would have been able to think you could make this one but a promise is a promise and my name is Nivara I run this Aroma Oils Shop and I am honored to join you. I only have the Elemental Oils and now this one you made I watched how you did it and I also mastered it thanks in advance.

Once back outside Kryis notices a girl being followed by a bunch of guys and then steps in front of the girl and said if you want to get to her you have to get passed me the main one stepped forward to attack Kryis but then she dodged and kneed him in the back and pulled his hair and said you should probably run the men all ran off and the girl walked over to Kryis and said thanks my name is Erima I am a Gypsy they kill Gypsy's here so I am lucky I was able to get away Kryis said join me and you will stay safe she agreed and then Kryis and her team walked back to the ship to drop them of so that there won't be need to take everyone with them.

Shadow and Drelon follow the group at a good distance so that their conversation couldn't be over heard but they also wouldn't be to far away if their aid was needed. " So what did you do when you got left behind after the last battle with Shade Shadow?"

"I spent my time trying to find a place that would let me stay in the village but almost any where that I went I was looked at as a creature that should never have been born. Several of the villages tried attacking me but I just walked away from them. The rest of them just forced me to stay outside the village itself. Three times I had to defend the village form beast that wanted to attack the village. The only thing that I ever got from that was a arrow to the back from one of the villagers who thought that they would try to kill me and blame it on the monsters. I grew to hate them all and just wanted to be seen as anything but a monster and thats when I meet Kryis. she took me with her and I did my best to keep her safe. When I was unable to do that as I thought I went off to train for a long time but when she came back I knew that it wasn't my fault that she was taken. As we traveled I ended up giving my life to keep the group save but was brought back by Slonic and then Slovnic helped me some more. Eventually I got as strong as I am now and that brings us to this point. How about you?"

"I spent the whole time hunting Sol and looking for you and your mother but only ever found Sol. He beat me really bad and then attacked you with my body. When I meet back up with you I tested you so that I could see if you were ready to fight him at his peak. I'm glad that you were stronger than him." They stop talking and look back at the ships. " Your lucky to have found someone as nice as her. She is very beautiful in her own way but I would never leave your mother for anyone. She is the most beautiful to me." Drelon says to Shadow causing Shadow to blush a bit. Shadow shakes his head and then says " Yes I know how lucky that I am to have Val. I will do my best to keep everyone safe but for her I will do my best and more to stay alive and come back to her everytime."

Kryis lets Erima, Augustis and Nivara stay onboard the ship that will follow them to every town they go to as the main part is got alot of water so ships can travel between it so once they are onboard Kryis and her team walk to the exit of town and move on to the next one.

Shadow and Drelon keep talking for a while as they wait for Kryis and the others to come back. When they set out again Shadow looked to Drelon and then said " I dont know what I should do when this is all over with. I have been with Kryis fighting for a while but I have also been fighting all my life. I dont know if I want to stay around and keep that up or if I should travel the world." They walked with the group and then Drelon says " I think that you would do best to take some time and travel the world with Val. When this is done the need for people like me and you wont be needed any more. At least not as we are."

Kryis and her team walk out and see the next village in the distance when Kryis then feels a Summon in the distance near the east side of the Island and so she decides to go in the direction of the Summon in hopes that she can gain another while looking for allies.

Shadow and Drelon keep talking while they follow Kryis and her team. They know that if anything happens they can be ready to fight in very little time. They smile at each other and then focus on where the group is going. They both do a quick weapon check.

Kryis and her team see a small town off in the distance next to the place they need to go so she and her team stop by it to get a bit of rest before continuing on.

Shadow and Drelon stay outside of the town and set up a small camp for themselves. They build a small fire and then cook the food that Shadow brings back from his quick hunting trip. When they finish their meal Drelon lays down and goes to sleep while Shadow stays awake and looks up to the night sky.

During the night Kryis sees people outside and notices that they know she is a summoner but they don't say anything and then an older woman tells them to leave and stop bothering the summoner and just go away.

Kryis was in shock but then thought to herself that she wants to meet this person in the morning.

Shadow turns towards the town when he hears something coming from there but he cant see anything. He shakes his head and looks back to the night sky. Thats when he knows he screwed up. He feels the blade in his back and then the poison seeping into his blood. He falls over and growls lightly as everything around him goes black.

Kryis and the others wake up and the older woman walks in as the others are waiting for Kryis to come out upon her exiting her room she pays the bill but then the older woman tells her my name is Guineva she says I am an aged woman with much knowledge about this world I used to fight but now I only give advice when needed and I know you are looking for younger allies but is it okay that I join so that way if you ever need to know about what happened in the past you can ask me and I will tell you it's the least I can do.

Kryis tells her that she can and says that she hopes nothing happens to her and the old woman then says nothing will as your ship is pulling in I can get on and if you want my help with anything we can dock somewhere and I will tell you. So Kryis says okay and then lets her onboard the ship as an ally.

Drelon swung his sword at the man that he saw standing of his son's form only to have his blade knocked out of his hands. The figure turned its head to him and then smiles. Drelon yells in pain as he is sent flying into the village with half his armor shattered. The single punch that was landed broke his ribs and his armor. He landed in the street and coughed up a fair amount of blood and then staggered back to his feet only to fall over again. He looked up and cursed as he saw the man lift Shadow up into the air and then punch him to land next to Drelon. Shadow stuggled to stand up. He was able to get to his knees when the man walked into the village. Shadow drank one of his potions and was on his feet a few seconds later. " I'll do what I can just keep them safe father." He yelled as he charged the man and then disappeared outside the village.

Kryis and the others then leave the town and look at Drelon who is hurt and they see Shadow in the distance with another person there.

Anilex lifted Shadow into the air by his throat and then threw him into the air and slammed his fist into his gut as he came back down. Shadow coughed up blood from the blow and fell to the ground unable to move anymore. " Your not worthy of anything you weakling." Anilex says as he vanishes.

Kryis has her team take Shadow and Drelon onboard the ship then she heads off by herself to the next area where the summon awaits her.

Shadow tries to sit up but blacks out and stays that way for a while. When he comes to its dark and Val is laying next to him. He sits up and leans against her with a sigh.

Kryis walks in and then Ivan and Ramity both appear and say we will walk with you and make sure nothing happens then they make it there and Snow appears and he looks at Ramity and Ivan and know that they are safe and that the person with them is worthy of trust and he speaks to the girl and tells her my name is Snow I am the White Fox and I am a Protector Summon my Overdrive is Spirits Hollow Guard it lets me deflect all enemy magic and has it sent back at the enemy doing double damage to the enemy no matter what magic is used. Kryis welcomes Snow to her pack of Summons and then says we should head back to the town then right before Kryis was about to Snow said wait can you please take care of this little Kyuubi she needs to be safe and who knows maybe with her with you you can find the summon version so Kryis agrees to take her and calls her Kyua and she won't fight but can be there for you when you need someone.

Kryis then takes her with her and they walk back to the town together and Ramity, Ivan and Snow all make it back to the Summon World where they all share a place in the Summon World hoping one day soon they and all the other summons can be happy in there world.

Shadow wonders who the hell Anilex really is seeing how easily he had lost to the man and then he just vanished into thin air. How could he even hope to keep up with something like that. He shakes his head and looks at Val who is still sleeping. He stands up and then walks away from the ship and towards the open water.

Kryis enters then Town again and with Kyua and when they get there and on board the ship Kryis checks on Drelon and then notices that Shadow is not there and hopes he hasn't gone off to far.

Shadow hears movement around him but when he turns he cant see anyone there. The sound of the ocean rises to fill his ears again and he turns back to watching the water.

Kryis knows that there is something in the area around the ship so she gets off and looks around and she sees and hears a Goddess near the area so she walks into the area it is alone and makes sure that her allies will be safe.

Shadow could hear the movement around him again. He turned and was shocked to see what looked like his home cave. " What the hell is going on here. Must be more tired than I thought I was." He shakes his head and turns to the water but feels that something is going on.

Kryis finds the Goddess and notices it's the Water Goddess Vashrah and she then noticed that she was a Summon so Kryis tells her that and Vashrah says I know but can you handle my powers so Vashrah says I will let you have me without a fight but you have to show me you can handle my powers so Kryis says okay and then Vashrah said I will begin to transfer myself to you but you may want to move closer to the water.

Shadow turns drawing his blade and growls at a figure in the distance saying " I have had a bad day. Leave me the fuck alone before I run you through with this blade." He leveled the blade at the being. The being lifted an arm and Shadow fell to his knees as the world around him distorted and started to spin. He looked up and saw an illusion of a blood covered version of himself run Kryis through with his blade. He blinked and then blacked out.

Kryis moved closer to the water and felt the powers enter her and then focused very hard then when the Goddesses Full Power was inside of her Kryis levitated and the water changed her attire and her hair changed to purple as well and the power transmitted so much energy that it created three Tsunami's an then Kryis called upon the Water Goddess who used her Overdive Tsunami's Rush which uses all three of them to attack the enemy at one time doing damage 3 times with each one hitting. Kryis then came down and noticed the change and then Vashrah said my powers combined with yours made the change happen and you are stronger then before and growing stronger don't worry only I can change the appearance of a summoner an only if they are of pure heart like you so congratulations you got an upgrade in your look.

Shadow struggled to stand but knew something was horribly wrong. His eyes opened to see a female smiling down at him. All the strength in his body was gone and all he could do was growl. " Your heart is weak" he heard in the back of his mind. Not from the being in front of him. It was from a memorie he couldn't place. But he knew that this being was wrong some how. He tried again to rise only for darkness to take him again.

Kryis then told her thanks and Vashrah left for the Summon World that is when Kryis noticed Shadow in the distance so she used warp on him and had him warped to the ship with the others while she warped to where he was just to see what he was doing there.

The feeling of being moved wome Shadow up. He stood up and looked around and glared off at the being that had done it all to him. What was that being. And why did he want to return to it. He felt some pull towards that place and couldn't stop himself from walking that way again.

Anilex smiles at Kryis and says " How stupid of you. He is mark now and won't be able to fight back for a while. A gift to the one you will both meet soon. Say hello when they send him away for me. I own them a favor after this." He reached out and tapped Kryis on the forehead. He sent a wave of pain through her and then vanished laughing. " You can't help him and he is to weak to help you. Your both doomed summoner when I take the blade back I will kill you all and take what belongs to me." His voice echoed long after he was gone.

Kryis thinks to herself for a minute then said that must have been the person that attacked Shadow oh well and a curse is only good if it happens so basically useless.

Kryis warps back and makes it back to the village before entering the ship she looks around before they sail back on the ship to the main part where they began at and docks the ship there and then she takes her team with her so Shadow can get his rest and she will not be near him so that way if the person does reappear he will have to go to multiple places.

After Kryis leaves Shadow leaves heading to an area that he can be alone to train. He starts by using his heavy hitting skill just to get used to them. He felt he was being watched but pushed it aside and kept pushing himself in his training.

Once Kryis and her team of allies that are Drenscal, Mina, Desann, Vali, Isabella, Ingrid, Ovelia, Xebec, Crisin, Carmen, Ursula, Faina, Lumina, Destini, and Faust all left while the others stayed at the ship and protected it and then the team set out for the town in the distance Kryis noticed that it would be a long walk there but once there they will have many allies as well as obstacles in there way but they must push forward no matter what.
