A Tale After Four Lives
/ A Tale After Four Lives 9 Chapter 9: "My Master"
"Ok, the summoning circle is complete, with this I will be able to summon my elemental companion without any problem's," thought Alex as a warm smile plastered his face thinking about seeing his old friend again.
Standing in front of the magic circle Alex started undressing until he was completely naked, then he placed his hands together and invoked in his mind, "Mythanar". His body slowly started becoming thinner as his muscles became sleeker and his bones smaller. His black hair turned white and became longer until it reached his shoulders, his facial features turned sharper while his ears grew longer and pointed, his eyes became larger and became a forest green. After the transformation the appearance of Mythanar Shaharice was revealed, the Great sage in all his naked glory.
With a snap of his fingers, a robe covered him, the sure robe was covered in ancient runes and strings attached to glowing crystals hung from it. Green leather boots and pants appeared on him which had very fine and intricate leave patterns on them.
Having dressed himself Mythanar spoke, "Although I have all the power of my previous lives in my original body, it's always better to be in a form I am most familiar with when casting my magic.", his voice was gentle like the wind and ethereal as time. "Now first thing first is to isolate my home so that other's can't sneak a peek at me," Mythanar said with a dubious smile on his face.
Holding out his hand a large crystal appeared, It looked almost Identical to an Elemental crystal only that it wasn't giving off any light and was covered in numerous ruins. "This should do it, It was created for this very purpose anyway so might as well use it." Holding the crystal into the air Mythanar spoke, "Safeguard from invaders, activate Bastion Of Light" The crystal burst into pieces and to his design formed a shield around his house while enforcing his home at the same time. "Thought I originally made it guard our empire should the heroes failed to kill the demon king and buy enough time to figure out a way to destroy him, guess it will work for this as well."
...
Standing in front of the Summoning circle Mythanar cut his finger and dripped a drop of his blood in the middle, then he started chanting while supplying the circle with his own manna, "Hear me oh sacred angels, oh treaders of light and beings of salvation, I do call to thee. Heed me and come to my aid, follow me and help bring salvation to this world, I summon thee Prime-Elemental of Light."
Finishing his chant mythanar slammed his palm onto the floor right in front of the circle and unleashed a horrifying amount of manna into it. "Come forth, Aura queen of light"
A blinding flash appeared as the summoning circle lit up, and from that light stepped what could only be described as a heavenly figure, it was a woman which looked like she was clad within pure light her, expression was cold but an air of purity that could not be explained surrounded causing all to avert there eye's less they tainted this her with there mortal thoughts.
"Who summons m..." the woman started speaking, her voice as celestial as her appearance, but stopped halfway, her face contorted into shock as it lost all of it previous coldness and her eye's tears up. In a flash of light, she appeared in front of Mythandar her heavenly voice screaming while she tackled him, "Master!".
Mythandar lied on the ground with a wry expression as he stared with loving eyes at the woman as she hugged him while affectionately rubbing her face on his chest, tears of happiness streaming from her eyes. Putting his right hand on her head gently rubbing it while trying to soothe her, "There, their little one, there's no need to be like this.", The woman suddenly stood up from him and crossed her arms, "Stinky master, leaving me alone for so may millennia", she spoke as she pouted and turned her head to look away from him.
Mythandar slowly stood up chuckling as he looked at how the woman acted, "Aura, you know it wasn't intentional. How could I bear to leave my beautiful companion all alone in the elemental plain?", said Mythandar. "Yeah and about that," Aura suddenly faced Mythandar with an angry look, "How could you just go and sacrifice yourself like that, was really that important to slay that demon king even at the cost of your own life.", Mythandar looked at Aura with a sad smile, "You know it was my time, I have already told you about my story."
Aura's expression softened as she stared as Mythandar, "So is this the final life?" she asked, Mythandar looked at her and shook his head, "No, this is my reward". His words shocked her for a while but slowly her expression changed to one of bliss and for the second time she tackled him to the ground, hugging him "That's great", she screamed.
...
"So this how you look now," asked Aura as she stared at Alex with a curious expression while circling him and looking up and down as if to imprint his image into her soul. Feeling a little awkward being so thoroughly investigated Alex could only nod his head and agree, "Yeah, this is my form in this life, it's also my original form before I made a deal with Yris".
" I see, so this is how master looked in the beginning, it's much better than that broken and scared old man Lambert." Aura said jovial, causing Alex to nearly faint in frustration, "Who the fuck are you calling broken, and the scars were brought from fighting thousands of battles. It might not make him look as handsome as he was but it gives him character." Alex thought.
Alex first met Aura as the Paladin Lambert, at the time he was already an aged veteran but she was just a newly born Elemental, a small wisp. He rescued her from a magician that wanted to study her. Taking her with him he spend 50-years to find a way to get her into the elemental plane. During this time he had fed her with his own divine energy, slowly but surely she gained sentience and before entering the elemental plain she could already communicate with him. At that time she had been quite sad to part with him since she thought that would be the last time she met this old knight, she could tell he was at the end of his life and this saddened her to no end.
Many years later she had grown to become a prime elemental, the peak of her race. She looked down on everything in the elemental plain but no matter what she had a hole in her heart that could never be filled and every time she remembered that old and kind paladin she would feel a biting pain.
One day while sulking in solitude she felt someone trying to summon a light elemental, usually, she would just ignore it but this time the summons called to her, she could feel a familiar soul calling out to her and to her joy it was the old paladin's soul. Not thinking of how he could still be alive she answered the summons and was summoned to another world.
That was the second time she met him, at the time she asked him why he was an elf and he told her everything. Aura spends the next few thousand years by his side, it was the greatest time she had ever had since parting with him, but all good things must come to an end. He died, sacrificing himself to destroy a powerful enemy and she was returned to the elemental plane, waiting for him to summon her again.
Aura looked at Alex with affectionate eyes as she thought, "I have returned to your side, My Master".
