Master: So it's true. Your father was an elementia who was affinity to the normal elements. Fire, wind, light, dark, etc. Your mother on the other hand had a rare affinity.
Luna: You told me this, summoning right?
Master: Indeed. You are a summoner Luna. More specifically you're the same type of summoner as your mother.
--- Chapter 24 ---
Luna: How do you know I'm the same type?
Master: The glow, it's only done that with your mother.
Luna: So that means my summoner ability is like my moms.
Master: Uh to be honest i'm not sure. It's not really supposed to do that. In all my years of life I’ve only seen you and your mom's paper do that.
Luna: Oh. So does that mean we are special or something?
Master: The monsters your mom was able to summon monsters that normal people can't. She was SS+ rank for a reason. So I'd say so.
Luna: Wow. So how does summoning work?
Master: I could tell you but it would be better if someone who is a summoner tells you.
Luna: And who's that?
The master snaps his fingers and says “Come in.”. The door creaks open as Tilda, the fortune teller walks in.
Luna: You're a summoner?!
Tilda: Mhm.
Luna: I thought your Arcana was fortune telling.
Tilda: No, that's just a skill I learned.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
Luna: Oh ok, so how does it work?
Tilda: Listen closely ok? When you first start out you need to perform a ritual. This ritual will grant you a familiar, your familiar is a connection to the plane you will summon from. Having this connection allows you to summon.
Luna: That seems easy enough.
Tilda: I'm not done. Upon getting a familiar you need to make pacts with monsters through meditation. And to summon you need a focus.
Luna: A focus?
Tilda: FOCUS! A focus is an item that actually summons and maintains a connection. Focuses come in all different shapes and sizes. When summoning a monster an image appears on the focus and they summon. It costs mana to keep them on this plane.
Luna: Wow, what's your focus?
Tilda pulls a necklace out of her shirt as if she wanted to hide it. Luna can almost make out a picture on one side but Tilda quickly flips it. On the other side is a blank area where a picture could go.
Luna: Aww that's cute. What's the picture on the other side?
Tilda: ...Nunya
Luna: Nunya?
Tilda: Nunya business.
Luna: …
Tilda: hehe. I have another focus, I use these mainly.
She pulls out her deck of tarot cards.
Luna: Oh wow there focuses?
Tilda: Kinda, there not conventional. There specifically for me to use.
Luna: Oh do you have special summons to?
Tilda: Mhm.
Luna: What are yours?
Tilda: … Tarot cards?
Luna: Oh. That does make sense. Can I see one?
Tilda: Yah sure.
Tilda pulls out a card. The Fool. She whispers something before throwing it, as it's about to hit the ground, it glows a bright yellow and starts to morph. It morphs into a tall slender figure dressed in jester like attire. Wearing a white smiley face mask that covers all but the mouth.
The Fool: You're called Miss Tilda.
Tilda: Sorry Fool, I was just showing how to summon.
The Fool: That is fine. If I am no longer needed I will be returning.
Tilda: Ok.
The fool glows before returning to card form. It flies over into Tildas hands. She puts into her tarot deck case.
Luna: That was- Incredible!
Tilda: Hehe thanks.
Luna: So when do we start.
Tilda: Whenever you want.
Tilda begins setting up the ritual. But once again our story is elsewhere. In a dark room, is the mysterious, and evil Astra, with his group behind him. Before him, taking a knee is Stacy. He had just returned after losing to Ame.
Astra: You failed Stacy.
Stacy: Just give me a bit, I can beat that bitch.
Astra: We both know second chances aren't offered.
Stacy: Wait!
Astra lifts his hand but before he does anything, Nero, the one in a lab coat speaks up.
Nero: Astra, might i advise something.
Astra: What is it Nero.
Nero: Look at him, he's barely damaged, it would be such a waste to off him or make him like the rest.
Astra: What are you proposing Nero.
Nero: Me and the doc need a subject for a little project, and he's so hellbent on killing this girl. He hasn't taken any significant damage that he would need to undergo “that” treatment.
Astra: If that's what you wish, then I will allow it.
Nero: My humblest thanks Astra.
Nero crouches down in front of Stacy.
Nero: So you want power. Right?
