A Summoner?

     [For those that are interested in the General Spells of the Mage Class, I have included some in this spoiler. Some Mage's spells may differ based on Race, Talent, or Region, like Zoe has the Spell [Hurricane Burst] but normal Air Mages have [Wind Burst], and other than looks and name, it is still the same in essence.]

Chapter 131: Falling Into The Demon Cults Plan? by Harem-Fan

     Later that morning after Morgan and I vented our lust, I called both Zoe and Freya to our room for a talk.

-

     Out of everyone involved, Zoe was the most surprised, because she was unaware of the true-past-origin of Evil, Freya, Kayo, and Falbium.

     Also, Zoe has no concept of Zeus, Poseidon, Persephone, and Hades, so these are just names to her. But when she got teased by Falbium for possibly being the Hurricane named Zoe that killed them, she was unsure what it meant. (coincidence only, cough)

     In Zoe's timeline, the Von-Crane family was destroyed and Morgan perished without letting the Past-Life Pearl fall into my hands.

     So Zoe was really surprised how the simple action of killing Dela outside of Still Water and saving Dial could have changed fate so much, but in a positive way.

     Zoe felt a bit left out at first when she had no past connection with Sam, but then realized she did... She had a real past life with Sam, but it was in a parallel timeline, moved by Kayo's magic, so her heart settled...

-

     Freya's devoted eyes kinda creeped me out as she held my arm, and I asked in a bit of confusion.

     "Freya, I do not remember Anny liking me like that? Did I miss something, because I always saw her as a cute little sister in my dreams."

     Freya nodded and said.

     "I only had partial memories, but at that time, I was sure that Anny deeply fell in love with her big Brother Sam, but it was a secret crush. You in your past life were a bit of a Dense man who could not tell when a girl liked you. All three of us had different feelings for you, and then it was solidified even more in the Underworld, and now it grows again in this life."

     Morgan sighs and admits.

     "Sigh, I wish I had that bond you three have, but my love was just as deep, right Zoe?"

     I saw Zoe have an unsure smile, like she agreed with Morgan, but was doubtful, so I said.

     "Morgan, you had a past life with me in the Underworld, and the others had a connection from another Plane, probably the reason for the supernatural-bond, but Zoe, you have forgotten something!"

     Zoe's eyes looked confused at what she missed, and I smiled brightly at that, then told her.

     "If you and I did not have something special, could I have summoned you to my side?"

     Zoe froze, and her blue eyes misted over in realization at my words. She realized the key-point, for a Summoner and Summons to connect, there has to be something special there to begin with. She even was able to compete with Kayo and Evil in my order of summoning.

     Zoe ignored Freya, and flew into my arms, holding me very tight, with her 8th Circle Knight strength, and I barely resisted her tight squeeze.

     "Master~! Zoe loves you sooooooo much, mwah~!"

     I held Zoe's tall figure, and smelled the scent of wildflowers as she kissed me, with a deep love.

     Soon, with hazy glazed eyes, Zoe let me go and straightened her maid outfit.

     I said to the others.

     "I need to go down to breakfast with my party, so will you go back now or later?"

     Freya took the arms of Zoe and Morgan as Zoe cast her spell while saying to me.

     "Master, the babies need me, so we must return, but summon us if you are in danger... [Safe Haven]"

     And in a faint glowing light, the trio vanished while waving to me...

-

     After breakfast, I gathered with Vera, Dial, Kim, Kelly, Frank, Nevin, and Chuck.

     Our group of 8 gathered 7 of the Black War-trained Clydesdale, while Vera had her White one.

     After getting our Teacher's orders, we went to the Mercenary Guild in Britannia to meet up with our local assigned Guide to do our mission.

     As we tied our horses at the post out front, Frank said to us.

     "You guys go in, I will watch our mounts."

     I nodded to Frank , and led the party in.

-

     Inside, we noticed that the guild layout was mostly identical to the one from Pearl City, the only difference would be the style of clothing and some accents.

     At least ¼ of the Adventurers come from the Anubis Kingdom, and a smaller portion from the Southern Kingdom.

     The Mercenary Guild is founded and runs throughout all three Kingdoms as an independent force from the 3 Royal families.

     The reason you can find foreign Mercenaries here is because they will escort merchant caravans across borders, and when traveling in the Anubis Desert, having locals is a good idea, just like other Kingdoms would hire Northern Knights to travel into the North Kingdom's depths.

     My name on the Mercenary group of A-Team is still Sam Roland, and we have not changed it, just to avoid some people from noticing us, and we kept Dial and Vera's name off it. We Prince and Princess students are allowed to use other's names and still get school credit, to help keep our presence down.

     But when we met our Local Guide, we knew our identities were leaked already...

     "Hello A-Team, I am Lark Sun, a 7th Circle Dark Knight, I am glad to meet you on your Academy Mission."

     Dial and I both felt our Red-String wedding bands tremble and point us to see Lark.

     Lark is a strong looking young man with a scar running across both cheeks and nose-bridge. His blond hair and black eyes made him look a bit charming, but the dark bags under his eyes shows his lifestyle is excessive.

     He wears a Black Chain-mail armor, and has a large Claymore on his back.

     Dial and I can tell this guy has some lingering Demonic Energy tainting his body, perhaps from being possessed at some point, sex with a Succubus, or injured by Demons.

     While Dial looked into my eyes for my thoughts, Chuck said with a grin.

     "Hey Lark, I am also a Dark Knight, hehe. So how long have you been a Mercenary for the Guild?"

     "Hello fellow Dark Knight, I have been doing this work for about 20 years now, after I left the army that is."

     Leaning into Dial's ear, I whispered.

     "For now, let's see what he is up to. If we expose him now, we cannot catch his partners... I am sure we are being targeted, but I will tell Vera and the others secretly."

     Dial nodded her head to acknowledge my idea.

     Thanks to the rings we got from her Father, we are not being caught by surprise. It is possible this guy was damaged by Demons, but this is unlikely. With my group's prestige, the fact we are not targeted more often is already a miracle.

     After the small talk, Lark clapped his hands together and said to us with a friendly smile.

     "Okay, now that the greetings are out of the way, follow me out, and my horse is already waiting. I will take you to find the bandits camps in the south western foothills bordering the Beast Forest. Use the restroom and I will meet you guys outside."

     As Lark walked outside, Chuck and Nevin walked with him.

     Dial and I held back the women and then I lowered my voice and whispered...

     "It's a Trap!"

     As Kelly, Kim, and Vera looked confused, I explained our magic rings ability to find Demonic Energy, and we made plans to protect ourselves.

-

     Vera and I went to a side room while she summoned Plume...

     "Plume, I need your aid, for Demons may be involved... [Call Summons]"

     And from the rippling-light, the Archangel Plume appeared. The smell of cotton-candy filled my nose, and I was suddenly hugged by the 7 foot tall winged woman, who said in her sing-song voice.

     "Sam, Vera refuses to let me meet you~♪!"

     Vera, who knew her Angel was like this, covered her face and said with a flat tone.

     "Sam, I did indeed keep her from you, because she is obsessed with wanting to be near you. She doesn't love you or anything, she is just addicted to being beside you, and I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable around Plume, sigh..."

     Plume stood behind me, held me by my shoulders and whispered in my ear, while glaring at Vera.

     "See Sam, she is being unreasonable, make her bring me out more~♪!"

     I can tell that Plume has an innocent but clueless kind personality, like a child. I then said to calm the two women.

     "Plume, I will remind Vera to let you play more, but for now we are on a mission, but a possible Demon traitor might be leading our group, so we need your help to keep us safe. Here is the situation..."

-

     After briefly explaining, Plume nodded.

     Although she is child-like, she is still very smart, and gave us suggestions, and then she cast one of her Light Mage magic spells.

     "Vanish from sight... [Light-Bending Buff]~♪"

     As light covered Plume's tall form, it vanished, and so did her appearance, as she became invisible.

     I then heard her voice still next to us.

     [Alright Sam and Master Vera, I will stay invisible till you ask for me to help. As long as I do not attack, no one can see me, as I am bending light around my body. We Angels hide from mortals like this~♪!]

     Vera said to us both.

     "Dial and I will use Doll and Grog till we know what this Lark is up too, then we can bring out our trump cards to surprise them."

     I told Vera about our tail.

     "Drake Fulbright (and 2 Secret Guard) will also be tailing us for backup. And if things get funny, I can also bring Freya and Zoe out on top of everything else, so let's go..."

     Then we left the rest area.

-

     Lark led us out of the West Gate, towards the Infinite Canyon Mountains, and not south to the Beast forest, but we pretended to be ignorant.

     But Chuck and Frank are keeping Lark busy talking, as I slowly explain things to each of the guys one by one while we are on the road.

     My only issue is my mount...

     I felt like Ray from the GhostBusters Movie, as I was being molested by an invisible Archangel who was sitting behind me on my black horse.

     Plume is doing nothing sexual, or touching me inappropriately, but... She keeps sniffing my neck and hair, while she holds my shoulders tight.

     This clingy Angel gives me a feeling of an obsessed druggy that found the best smelling drug, and her inappropriate sounds while sniffing me makes me a bit uncomfortable.

     Vera, riding next to me, sees my face and she grins while joking.

     "Sam, see why I do what I do... Do you want me to let her stay at your side all the time?"

     Okay, I admit, Vera was totally right. This Archangel is even more clingy than Zoe, and that is saying something.

     Seeing me not answer, Vera did something not Princess-like, she stuck her tongue out at me and smiled.

     Just as I rolled my eyes at Vera, I felt my ear get kissed, making my expression stiffen, damn...

-

     And for the entire rest of the trip west, I was secretly molested...

     'Are we there yet?!'
