Chapter 5 - chapter 4: Fear

All Blakes thoughts could form was fear. Fear of the impressive and dominating aura that was being used as pressure. Guy Crimson, a being who seemed jovial at a first glance, now seems to be an icon of terror. "W-well, we were just heading in a certain direction, your place just so happened to be where we landed" stammered out Blake. "Yeah what he said" said Ddraig, calm as ever. I guess a dragons pride is still there. "Oh really? But you came here with a dragon of great aura, and not here to attack?" asked Guy who still smiled but his aura was intensifying and I felt myself beginning to indent in the ground. 

"W-well" Blake began but was having trouble coming up with words that might get them out of this predicament. Blake decided that maybe summoning something to help might be a move he should consider. He turned to the knowledge granted to him and searched for something that could connect with Guy, maybe an equal existence. He came upon one name, Noir. 'Well, what else do I have to lose' Blake thought as he pulled up on his power and through sheer will slammed his hands on the floor as a demonic summoning circle seemingly appeared on the floor. 

"Oh" said Guy with some surprise in his voice as a figure began to emerge from the circle. Black hair with a red stripe, Blake eyes with golden pupils. Dressed in a flowing suit accompanied with two other demons. To use the terms of this world, two greater demons and a primordial demon from the beginning. "Huh, where am I?" asked the bewildered Noir. "I dont remember answering a summons. Was it a forceful one?" Noir muttered to himself, curious but ultimately unworried about it. 

'This wont send me to hell will it?' Blake thought as summoning demons was tantamount to damnation, wasn't it? Then again there was Solomon who was known for his 72 pillars, the Ars Goetia. 'Alright, lets worry later' thought Blake as he now beseeched the demon before him. "Demon, I have summoned you for aid" Blake said loud and clear. "So you summoned me, such a unique method" said Noir as he got up close. His black eyes caused some unease in Blake but he squashed it down. 

"I wish for a contract of servitude, ask for what you want in return and I shall grant it" said Blake as power welled within his hands, almost instinctively. "Truly, for my service you are willing to give whatever I wish? How novel, I doubt you could but I am interested. How about a body first" said Noir and Blake used his power to summon a suitable vessel. Noir then housed himself within and incarnated onto the physical plane and his power seemed more pronounced. 

"I like this, I like this very much" said Noir as he turned to face his rival, Guy or rouge. "So, Guy, is this what your up to now? I figured you had better things to do then bully people" said Noir. "Well, I just wanted to interrogate them a little, but this is way more interesting" said Guy as he dashed forward towards Blake, and leaned in close. "So, what are your powers? There is no way you don't have special abilities. Is it a unique or is it an ultimate?" asked Guy, his tone that instilled fear now replaced with more curiosity than what he had before.

"There he goes, I know he's obsessed with ultimates, but he could act like a demon lord" said Velzard. "Oh, miss Velzard, glad to see your doing well" said Noir. "I see your as whimsical as ever noir" said Velzard. They struck up a conversation, catching up on what they lost. Guy was still trying to interrogate Blake until he seemingly relented. He felt something bubbling within him, demanding he fight this being with ferocity, but Blake did not feel up to the task. 

"Well, it allows me to summon things" Blake said, trying to be vague about his ability. "Your leaving details out, come on spill them" said Guy and it seemed to cause so much discomfort into Blake he pushed Guy away, and it seemed that push put him into the nearest ice wall of the palace. "Oh dear" said Velzard with surprise in her tone, yet it seems Noir was hiding back a hearty laugh at his rivals expense. 

"Wow" said Blake, having no knowledge he could have done that. He felt some mysterious power thrum beneath his skin, egging him to do it again. "Well, that's what I get for invading your space" said Guy as he wiggled himself out from the wall and brushed off the crushed ice on his frame. "But I still feel like your leaving details out, and I have a feeling your 'summoning' is much more than you let on" Guy surmised. "I have a proposition then, since you have peaked my interest. How about you serve under me" said Guy, the way he said it offering no room for refusal. 

"Sorry I have to refuse" said Blake apologetically. Guy tilted his head, as if this was something new in his life. "Well, what can I offer you to at least work with me" said Guy outloud, thinking of ways to forge some relation to his new 'interest'. "Hm, how about a contract" said Guy. "What do you mean?" asked Blake defensively. "Well, I have a feeling you have some power, and thus I want to use it. However, you don't want to work under me, so what will happen is I will give you a ring to communicate with, and I will essentially owe you favors for what I request" said Guy and it seemed way too barebones for a demons contract, thus Blake was still wary. 

However, this may be his only chance at an in too this new world, so he may as well do it. Besides, he's sure he can summon something to help him if needed, if he worked up to it of course. Blake was hesitantly sticking his hand out, and Guy shook it with glee. "Oh I look forward to seeing your powers at work" said Guy with a large smile, and it felt like Blake might have a huge adventure, or reckoning, in store.
