"Kira..... Are you ready to talk about this yet?" As usual the demon of chance's voice slid into Kira's mind quietly but all together in the most annoying way possible. As she spoke Kira did her best to ignore the voice, taking in deep breaths as she allowed her mind to calm. Meditation was of course the key, she thought to herself. The world seemed to slip away as she allowed her mind to wander, the blackness behind her eyes shifting and contorting. Shapes slowly started to appear, spinning to and fro, dashing back and forth and then they came together. It wasn't a spirit wishing to welcome her to the deep calm of meditation or some unknown construct she forged in her daze, no. That would be far too simple. 

"It's not nice to ignore someone you know..." The construct spoke, slowly forming the shadowed figures together into the body of the dark goddess. Of course it was her.....As usual. "Kira...There are things we must do to prepare for the battles ahead. I think it's time we meet up with some...heh....old friends. " Just beside Amber a large door woud appear, or more so make itself apparent that it was there the whole time. THe blackness simply opened with the clicking of a lock, revealing light within. 

"What....what the...." She'd heard of summons before, mostly because she was teacher to the young uzumaki boy and his dragons but..... This was definitely strange. "Don't we need to....like physically go there?!" She was completely lost. How had they gone from meditation to this odd portal she could recognize, though she wasn't sure why. 

"It will come with time child. You can reach this world without physical manifestation. This....well, is a form of magic I suppose. The only bits that actually translate into this world. It's called astral projection, please do hurry. We need to get into the world. there is much to discuss. " Kira pushed off of the ground, feeling the nothingness beneath her push against her feet as she ran forward. "Do you trust me now?" Amber spoke as the younger girl stepped through the door way. 

"Of course not. I still dont know what to think. " As she answered a brief flash of memory showed her once more tied down, a long hot poker splitting the skin of her side to make its way into her body. She cringed visibly but after a few moments shook it off. "So i um...Where are we?"

"This.....hehe.... This is the Plane of the Fae. Welcome back Kira...We've been expecting you!" A small creature she recognized immediately floated around her head from behind, touching it's vine like legs to her nose gently before flying off. It was of course the dolls of the demon of chance, or at least one of them. "Shuurin?"

"Of course. This is where we live when not at your service silly. " With each word she bounced about, the entirety of the air around them seeming to be her playground, catching her exactly as she wished with a quick flutter of her gossamer wings. "Now..... We found the path you were on quite dangerous Kira.... Came back here and spoke to the elder aaaannnndddd.....here we are! ready and prepared to help you out in more ways then we ever could before!" The girl looked genuinely excited to see her, which wasn't surprising. Shuurin was always one to be excited when seeing a friend...or enemy.....Or well..... Pretty much any one or anything. 


"Sister..... Do stop your rediculous bouncing about. This is not the time for fun and games. " her eyes shifted to the side where the voice had come. She knew that voice but wasn't prepared for what she would see. The girl speaking to shuurin was a tall raven haired creature, about five foot nine inches tall with large blue eyes and a slim frame. She was dressed in a long flowing forrest green dress that split half way up her thigh, seeming to wrap around her chest from the left and peppered with small flowers that looked to be a design in the cloth unless examined closely. Each of the small, randomly colored flowers seemed to almost be breathing, opening and closing every few moments, though slightly. There was a line of silver running across her forehead that looked to be a band of metal with tiny chains flowing down once it met her pointed ears, each flowing across her black hair in a way that looked incredibly regal, and almost stunning. 

   "I um....." She was cut off as the newcomer spoke once more in Daruku's voice. 

"I am Daruku Ethrietis. You would mind to not stare, it's considered rude especially in the presence of royalty. " The comment made both Kira and Amber look up in confusion. Did she say...Royalty? "Yes. Yes I did. " Daruku spoke, answering the question though it wasn't spoken. "I can see it in your eyes you're both confused. That is.... understandable after all. Shuurin and I are the heirs to the Fae throne...once we've reached the propper age of course. Dont worry, it's doubtful either of you will live long enough for that to be possible. We're the human equivilent to about.... Thirteen I believe. It will be a couple hundred years before we're seen fit to take the throne. Now..... As my sister said we needed to learn some new things in order to better protect you two. Here amidst the fae we're connected to our natural energy and can gain power much easier. Unfortunately this means that we will not be able to assist you as familiars anymore however. " Her tone was calm and cold, almost rude though it was evident that it neither was meant to be nor that she realzied it as such. 

"Wait.... So then you wont be helping us?" Kira spoke, her eyes shifting back and forth between the little doll and the almost elven looking winged woman that stood before her. "I'm not gonna lie girls...I'm pretty confused. " 

"Yes. We will be helping you in a different fashion. Shuurin..... Please shift to your natural form. I know it's easier to take on the doll form both for these two and for your day to day but you must get used to dealings in human form sister..... Otherwise you wont be able to do anything official once we take the throne. " She would wait as shuurin's head dropped to the ground in sadness, her wings carrying her slowly to float down to the ground below. 

     "Fine fine. You're no fun. " With that her body seemed to glow a bright white, the now brilliant orb of illumination growing to the same size as daruku. It seemed to shatter once she reached the propper size, a flash of fire work like sparkles dropping from the girl's new form to float down to the ground like feathers. She was.....Incredibly different. Shuurin had long blonde hair, streaked with bits of blue that feathered out beautifully. Her dress was a gorgeous ball gown of a sky blue color that set out a good distance from her actual body, reminding the two of a disney princess movie, which Kira immediately disreguarded as she wasn't actually sure....what a disney princess was, and her circlet was a thick gold color with silver chain that wove itself around the ring, flowing down either side of her body and over the front of her shoulders once it reached her ears to set just above each of her breasts jingling lightly with tiny bells on the end of each. The white fire work like specs set themselves into her dress as the reached it, looking light stars in the other layer of Tulle, what remained of the light after the star design was finished combining together to form a white bow around her waist that tied in the back. "Now. We will need you to sign a scroll for us. It will grant you use of our main forms. We will be...um... Summons I think is what you'll call us. She stretched her long pale blue wings out as she spoke, clearly getting used to this new form before letting out a long yawn. "Sister.... Can I go take a nap? The transformation seems to have tired me so. " 


"Child...I swear you will be the death of me. Sit down and stay. We need to get this taken care of. " At her requst Shuurin floated off, her wings fluttering quickly to raise her up to a low hanging branch that had clearly been efected by some sort of jutsu or something to make it into a seat. She leaned back in it, her long legs stretching down over the others before curling in just slightly. Once she was confortable they continued. "Now...... Aelin.... To me boy. Quickly. " there was a sound similar to horse hooves coming near them and then from the clearing a centaur appeared holding a large scroll over his shoulder. 

    "Wha....What the hell is this shit..." Kira spoke, any sense of calm or respect out the window. She'd never seen anything of this sort to be honest and this was seeming to be far too much for her. She was silenced by a wave of the dark goddess' hand. 

"Silence Kira. Just watch. " Before them the Centaur set down the scroll, rolling it out across the forrest floor before them. There were quite a few symbols, some of which she recognized some she didn't as well as a large number of names at the top. It seemed to be the listing of those who could or would answer a summons call from those who signed the pact. At the bottom was a circle surrounded by strange markings and a line with the word "Signature" "Now... Kira we'll need to sign on the line and seal it in blood in order for this to work. Once that's done we can summon creatures of the Fae, specifically the pixies Daruku and Shuurin. " She seemed like she wanted to say more but Daruku interjected at the word pixies. 

"Actually Amber... In this form we are considered "True Fae" It's similar to elves I suppose? We and our family are the Face of fae magic and ability, in tune with the powers of this world and best able to make use of it's gifts. " 

"What....ever. Any way.... Here. " Amber bit her thumb, swiping the blood across the circle to leave a long streak before slipping her hand into one of the pockets hidden behind her cloak. From it she pulled a black quill, dark from tip to end. She set the quill down across the scroll, and as she did ink seemed to pour in a large dot onto the center. Once this was done she put the quill away and waved her hand over the scroll. The black ink began to crawl across the paper, forming into a small shadow construct that left a trail behind it that looked vaguely similar to.... Letters. ONce it was done the creature disappeared completely, Amber's signature showing with a light grey glow on the scroll where the creature had just been. "Now you...." 

Kira tried her best to mimic Amber's motions biting her thumb, which caused quite a bit more blood then she expected. The red liquid poured across the scroll a few large drops dripping onto the center circle before amber took her hand and wrapped it up. Finally she looked around before looking up at amber once more. With a sigh she handed her a regular pen with which she scribbled her name onto the scroll. 

"Good. The agreement is done. You will need training in the art of summoning I assume...AMber can you teach it?" Her response came in a quiet nod of the girl's head. Of course she could. "Good. Then until you're ready for us we will be here training in the secrets of the Fae. Until then...." The door closed behind them and at that moment they realized that they were no longer in the fae realm.

"That was um......" Kira started but amber was gone before she could finish, the world shifting back to the home world of the dragons as her eyes fluttered open.
