First Encounter with Zafron

## Story

Broventhor sits out side looking at a mountain in the distance and sighs. He wished that he was there with Slovnic at this time but knew that he had to stay here alone and keep the group safe.

Shadow flys to the summon village and lands outside.

Slovnic smiles as he goes deeper into the cave but he feels that he might not like what he finds when he gets to the weapon.

Kryis while in her sleep saw the summon village and after that she stayed asleep in a dream like state until morning.

Shadow sighs and then sits down just watching the village for a while.

Broventhor watches the sun rise and then says " well looks like we will head out soon maybe we will end up over there and then I can go talk with the smiths then."

Kryis wakes up and to her surprise saw the Fortune Teller Ingrid amongst the group Kryis walked over to her and said how did she get there Ingrid said that once Selian got there back to the back she was able to leave but waited a bit and came when the others would not know she tells Kryis that she remembered a part of her past and it was that she actually fought against other enemies and it was the same enemies Kryis is also going against.

Kryis told Ingrid okay you can stay but you are only level one so it will be hard to stay alive so stay to the back and leave all the fighting to us Ingrid shook her head yes and then pulled out an Orb and said I am ready to go let head to the much needed Cat People to see if they have people that can help also there is a summon there no one else has ever obtained so a Unique Summon but this one i don't think you will have to fight as it's more supportive then aggressive.

Slovnic started to have to fight his way to get deeper into the caves.

Broventhor stands up and then walks out of the camp and then works on trying to figure out how to get into the hall of the warrior's.

Kryis leads her team to the place the Cat People are supposed to be and when they get there on of them opened the path and all of Kryis's allies and herself went inside and they said do not call us Cat people call us Neko's alot of us have features of all forms of cats but most here are in the form of Tigers with the strips. We know you can use our help so we have a few ready to go but I think you may want to look for yourself as well. Kryis said I am a summoner and I can sense there is a summon here and the person said yes there is and if you  like you can try to obtain it if you like so Kryis said thanks then her, Mina and Ingrid went to look for allies and the rest relaxed in town.

Broventhor had followed the group but when he saw that they were all just going to relax he shook his head and then turned away from them. His armor flashed as it reflected the sun. He walked away in the direction of the mountain and knew that everyone would see him leaving. His mind was made up he had to talk to the smiths that had made his armor back before the fall of the world. He needed to know why they made the armor freeze his movement through time.

Kryis speaks to 4 people in the town 3 which had Tiger strips on them and each were different the first was a female Neko named Xenna who admitted to being a Thief but was stronger then both Desann and Taisto. The next one was a Male Neko named Jarshin the Archer then with them Kryis along with Mina and Ingrid decided to find the next 2 then head off for the summon.

Shadow looked out from where he sat at the summon village and let his mind drift back to his child hood.

He sat looking out at the snow covering the mountain tops waiting for something. There in the distance he could see the moving form of someone coming his way. He knew that it was more than likely his mother but it could have been father. They were both out this morning. He glanced to his right and smiled at the man in armor in the corner of the cave. " So why are you here when its only me sir?" the man gave a small laugh and then replied in a deep voice " well i'm here to talk with your father who should be back soon but i'm sorry to say that we will both be leaving before the holidays that the humans celebrate down in the village."

Shadow looked down at the village and sighed. " I wish I could go visit them but they fear us dragon kin. Do you know why they fear us sir?" The man moved over and put his hand on the young half dragons shoulder. The metal of his gauntlet was so cold but Shadow didn't move away. " They fear Dragons because of the tales of the past. Stories of things that no one knows if they are true or not. They fear you above all though. You will have to be careful in your life or they may just come after you and try to kill you or your parents. But let the dark hearts of that race be far from your mind now. You should be happy it is a time that your parents wish to tell you about when they get back."

Shadow nodded and looked back at the figure coming towards the cave and smiled when he smelt more than saw the deer that was on the figure's back. His vision focused in on the figure and his smile faded a bit when he saw that his father has a slight limp while carrying the large deer on his back. Most people wouldn't even notice the limp but Shadow did. He stood up and walked out into the snow and walked to his father and helped him with the deer.

He shakes his head and comes back to the present. He notices someone in the distance again. But this time he sees knows that its one of the summons in the village not his father.

Kryis along with the two Neko and Mina and Ingrid walk over to the elder's hut and see the next 2 inside talking to the elder Kryis talks to the elder and he says that he would love to help her out with as many allies as possible and the 2 people that are there were the other 2 needed one was the aide of the chief named Esther and she was not like a tiger striped one and was from another group in that colony of Neko's and the other was a Male named Serno he is the other aide to the elder and the one that knows the location of the summon so when they left the room they went to the northern part of the town and Serno escorted Kryis, Mina, and Ingrid to the Summons location.

Shadow sits still and focuses on trying to remember what really happens after he helps his father. he knows it wasn't that his mother gets attack because she is still alive and this was a good time in his past.

Slovnic has to slow down due to being swarmed by thousands of foes at a time.

Seron lead the way when Kryis already saw the summon from afar as it's not something that can be missed so they make it closer when Kryis begins to contact the summon that tells her never once did I think I would ever meet a summoner but I am glad I did but can you do me a small favor in return I will not only become your summon but I need you to help me a while back a Sage came to help me but he was absorbed by me I need 3 of you and only mages can enter so I need 3 of you to go into my memory and find him and when you do save him and I will then join you as well as give you a gift so Kryis said okay we will help you and Her, Mina and Ingrid all go into the summons memory and begin to look for the Sage.

Shadow was able to get back to the memory but then lost it when he heard the sound of his fathers voice. He sighed and then stood up and walked into the village.

Kryis takes the lead and with Mina and Ingrid behind her they walk around the Summons Memory and see all of his memory was warped wrong then once Kryis, Mina and Ingrid sort his memories out the Sage appears but is chained to what looks like a Dream Sucker.Kryis can't summon any summons but Dream Suckers are weak to fire so Kryis uses her Flaming Vortex spell to just hit the Dream Sucker and hurt the Sage a little bit but then Mina will Fully Heal the Sage with a new spell she is chanting called Blessed Healing then Ingrid goes and uses her Orb and Chants the Orb in Fire causing the Orb to be Burning teaching Ingrid Flaming Orb Fighting Technique and burning the Dream Sucker.

Shadow looks around and then shakes his head. "Why did I bother to come here right now. My head isn't even close to clear right now."

Ramity walks out the Main Building with Krace and soon after Mavelle comes to talk to them the 3 walk to the entrance of the Summon Village and see Shadow standing there.

The Dream Sucker begins to burn and then releases the Sage but is still active in the fight but just burning for now and needs to be defeated fast it ends it turn doing nothing then Kryis attacks the Dream Sucker with Flaming Vortex again and this time setting it on fire weakening it even faster then Mina chants and learns another new spell fir herself called Holy Spike and aims it into the hole that Ingrid's Orb was and then Ingrids Orb reacted to it and with Mina and Ingrid using both there turns as one they defeat it and Ingrid learns Holy Orb that reacts to the light and spikes it inside the enemy. With the Dream Sucker dead Kryis and Mina along with Ingrid and the Sage all escape he summons Memory and the Summon thanks Kryis and says my name is Jayant I am the Tree Summon I am a Support Summon and I will protect you from Magic Damage for 3 turn fully then it will drop to 2/3rds and I am the Third Unique Summon he then gives her a Tree Sap that if used can make an amazingly powerful Magic Ring called Jayant's Control and then with the tree sap and the Sage and with Seron back with them they make it to the town and they let the Sage get his rest so he can talk in the morning before they all leave.

Shadow still seems to be lost as he stands there looking around. He sighed and then looked at the three of them and says " well looks like I finally am going to be here in the village."

Ramity along with Krace and Mavelle tell him well let us show you were you will be taking time for yourself when you need it and they take him to the main part of of the village and right next to the Main Building was the place Shadow will be stay and after showing him they said since you love to train your abilities follow Mavelle and right past the temple is the Training Ground Tachyos is already there.

Kryis and the others are relaxing when the elder and another Neko in all white with white hair walks in and tells Kryis meet Leos he is a Strategist though he is not the best he will try his best to help you out Kryis said to the Elder thanks for all the help you have given me and the elder says nonsense I wish I can do more then right before the elder was about to leave the Sage wakes up and he tells Kryis are you the one that saved me. Kryis said yes but i was not the only one I and my friend Mina and Ingrid saved you the Sage then said well 3 strong girls all powerful I would be honored to help you you can call me Orson the Sage glad I can be of help to you and it would be my honor to travel with you all.

"We will see just how good he is against me since i'm not even half focused right now. I'm still trying to put my past back together so I look forward to some one that can give me a challenge." He looks around not really paying any attention.

Once Orson joins they all agree to get some sleep and fall asleep.

Ramity then tells Shadow okay have a great stay here in the Summon Village.

Shadow walks to the training grounds and then sighs when he notices that it looks much like the one that he used long ago to train for the fight with Sol before they all died. He shook his head and then sighed again.

When everyone wakes up the village elder is at he entrance to the village and he tells them that he will keep his eyes open just encase something happens so everyone with Kryis are ready to go and they leave the village and head north and walk to the Samurai Town once they make it there Kitara and Kryis see that the village is now doubled it's security, When Kryis and the group enter Kitara and everyone else walk to the elder and he says that the doubled there security because a Wizard and his minions are outside were you just came and want to destroy our town but we have been keeping them back so Kryis tells the Elder we need to make sure everyone is safe the elder says there are only me the Elder Urijah, the Samurai Archer Wellisa, the Samurai Soldier Telisa, and 4 people that passed 3 Mercenaries Kematu, Meredy and there leader a werewolf named Ibis they are accompanied by a Dancer named Keyana. we have been protecting this town by doing sneak attack taking out small groups of them but there are way to many can you help use Kitara agrees and says we have some non fighters with us so they need to be safe and then Aldis , Conner, Kasia, Helena, Pablo, Esther and Leos don't fight the rest of us do Urijah said they can go to the other end of the town where the other people are at and sit and watch and then right when they walk back there Urijah said here they come and everyone got ready for when the Wizard that Kryis told them his name is Zafron and all his minions are coming now.

Broventhor walks to the area near the village and sighs. He got his answers but he also got more than he needed. He had been told that he would have to bring Slonic with him the next time he came just to give him something to help him. "How the hell do they know about anyone in this group?" He asked as he saw the village they were at in the distance.

Once all the enemy were close Kryis used Lunar Beams and took out alot of Zafron's Minions then once Zafron saw that he lost alot of his minions he snuck inside the town and looked dead at Kryis and challenged her to a Dual he began and attacked her but Kryis dodged and then used her whip and did an attack Whip Slap so when she hit him for alot of damage he knew he was out matched and he fled back all the way to the Orc Village.

Broventhor watched him run and then just sighs. He walks past the village enterance and then sits down. He will wait for the group to come out and find him.

Slovnic breaks through the final group of foes that got in his way. He enters the treasure room and then sighs when he finds yet more enemies in his way.

Kryis tells the others that they need to continue to the 2 last villages and hopes that is all there is so they can head back to the base and relax for a bit so before anything else happens Urijah and the others all agree to join Kryis but said they will stay here Kryis says that she will leave everyone else but her, Ingrid, and Kitara will stay at the samurai town to make sure that the enemy doesn't come back and then Kitara says lets go there is not much left only 1 more town before the ninja town and right before they were about to leave a ninja appeared and told Kitara that her father sent him to join her and Kitara noticed it was Ultam he uses Ninja Stars as his weapon and is the aide to her father he told her he is here to escort her and a few of her friends to the Ninja Village Kitara agreed and then told Ultam we need to stop at the other village first before we go to the ninja village Ultam agreed and then said lets head out and then he joins and him, Kryis, Kitara, and Ingrid leave to go to the next area.
