1 the summoning

A girl with long black hair, walking with quick steps and cradling a huge book When she reached one of the huts, she turned left and right to check that no one saw her She entered the hut quickly to put the huge book on the table and browse it in a hurry, she stopped at one of the pages and started reading at a crazy speed

"This is it I found it"

From the floor she pulled the dusty rug, to show under it a drawing of a magic circle, and from her pocket she took out an amulet painted with a black bird to put it completely in the center of the circle, to start reciting some spells

"In the name of the Old Testament, between the king and the sanctuary, I am the granddaughter of the nobility and the descendant of the alliances, I ask you, Venerable Guardian, bearer of the Holy staff and shackler, Ashteria, to answer my call."

The magic circle shone fiercely, and then, out of nowhere, a black mercury substance appeared in the middle of the room, which was moving and changing shape at a breakneck speed.

Seconds later, lightning surrounded the black matter and it began to shrink and finally

*boom*

The black matter exploded so strongly that the hut was completely shaken

"Aaah."

Involuntarily the girl screamed in shock and exactly in the middle of the circle a shadow appeared of a man standing in the middle of the white smoke cloud

For a moment the rest of the girl stared at the shadow, not believing that she had succeeded, only for the shadow to start coughing at her.

"Open the windows, I'll die of suffocation."

The girl jumped to the window and opened it, soon after the smoke cleared to show the features of the shadow, he was a young man of moderate stature with white hair and crimson eyes

As soon as the girl saw the young man standing in front of her, she was astonished, expecting him to be an adult, yet she lowered her head in respect and gesture of greeting.

"Dear Guardian, I am glad that you answered my call, I summoned you from the world of the immortals for help in saving humanity from the horrors of the coming war by eliminating the enemy of humanity, the King of Auris, so that peace may prevail in our world."

The young man lifted his hair upwards revealing his scarlet eyes, from which a cold ray squinted staring at the girl.

"The king of Auris was killed, and how will he stop this war? All they have to do is appoint another king and it's over."

The logical words of the young man surprised her and confused her at the same time, to talk stuttering

"But, maybe... The appointment of a new king is not so simple, it would cause chaos in their kingdom and among the ranks of the armies of the Auris."

"No, not necessarily, the title of king for them is not hereditary, the council of elders chooses kings, and the army is under the command of the generals, not the king."

Just thinking about all the effort she made to make the magic circle will go unheeded, made the girl frustrated, but she is still determined to find the solution, not after she succeeded in calling the guard to say firmly

"Sir... Kill them all, the king, the council, the leaders, this way we will ensure peace."

The young man raised his eyebrow in astonishment.

"And what do you think men will do to the Auris after the arena is empty for them, will they not slaughter every one of them, women, the elderly and even children, is this your idea of peace?"

"No way, we certainly won't exterminate an entire other race."

"You are right, you will not completely exterminate them, you will leave some to have a worse fate than death, enslaving the rest is the best way to show the glories of your victories"

The way the young man spoke was a deep hatred, as someone who lived it and knew its secrets, so the fear returned to the girl to ask

"Why do I feel that you hate humans, and you continue to defend the auris, we are peaceful creatures, we are not blown because of them"

*ha ha ha* the young man burst out laughing

"Human beings are peaceful, this is really the funniest joke I've ever heard, if so, why would they reject the King of Auris' proposal for a truce?"

The girl's eyes widened as she listened to his words in disbelief, when the young man noticed that he realized her ignorance

"Don't you know, the King of Auris, the first enemy of mankind that you seek to kill, is quite willing to give up all the lands they have occupied in exchange for the island of ancestors, and as a sign of his good intentions he is ready to free dozens of captives"

"Venerable Guardian, your words cannot be true, the Auris are violent and irrational and will not initiate peace"

"Irrational, the Auris have under their command several different races and yet they coexist in perfect harmony, can you say the same thing about human beings, girl, if your wish is really to spread peace in this world, then you should think about killing human kings, in them lies the problem"

The girl is still shocked and unable to accept the truth, the Holy Guardian obviously has access to all the facts, and also, for the first time, she thought that she really knew nothing about the Auris other than what she heard about them.

"Dear Guardian, do you want to say that we are at fault?"

"Sure, you are the wicked and the root of the affliction, but who is this venerable master of guard whom you keep mentioning?"

The girl raised her finger towards him and pointed at him

"You are not the revered guard, protector and shackling of Ashteria"

"Ashteria, ...... Isn't that the name of that mythical character, isn't it supposed to be a fictional character, just don't say you used the magic circle to summon someone out of imagination?"

The girl's face was puzzled, and she was annoyed by his ridicule.

"So who are you? , if not Ashteria?"

"who am I?, this is not an easy question

Am I the traitor hybrid of his comrades and his master?

Or am I the epidemic, the most villainous and despicable person you could have met or even heard of, I killed thousands of innocent people even my mother committed suicide because of me, most likely she couldn't show her face to curse, that's normal after I killed my younger sister with these two hands.

My memory is a bit confused, ah I remembered Takai my name is Jin Takai Nice to meet you"
