Seek thy abyss. The light blinds the darkness binds.

[Raleigh]

*Speaking in the reptile tongue.* Greetings young one.

[Lucia]

The serpent gives a surprised hiss, and replies

Did mistress call you as well?


Meanwhile, Lucia is blinking at the scene

what was that? o.o;

[Raleigh]

To Lucia: I was talking with your summons.

To summons and in serpent: Aye, that she did in a sense. Does she treat you well?

[Lucia]

The serpent nods

Indeed, she does. Always wonderful to be called by Mistress.

Lucia looks at Raleigh a bit oddly

Uh.. how do you do that? o.o

[Raleigh]

To the summons: Good good. Then I suppose I am in good hands while bound as a summons myself for now.

To Lucia: I was the friend of the source of serpents back in times the multiverse was still forming from chaos. I knew his language just as he knew mine. It is a pretty easy language to learn like most of the languages of the various 'animals'.

[Lucia]

Ah, interesting o.o wow.. are you a god of some sorts, then?

The serpent smiles, coiling around Lucia as she pets it's head lightly

[Raleigh]

I'm somewhat surprised at how often I'm asked that. No, I am no god for as I said I can not craft souls. I'm simply an entity of sorts whose rank would place me amongst the order of primal spirits to guess where my technical position is. ((ala yokai in a sense though that doesn't cover it entirely or you could say something from the titan/giants category as well. Keep in mind that technically the character I play is based of my own small little project of creating a massive multiversal mythology that tries to account for any myths or legends people already know and contain some of my own works.))

[Lucia]

Aah, I know the kind. Almost a bit surprised.

So, I have resources. Let's get down to business. There's a being that protects the ancient demons from being summoned.. his name is the Gatekeeper, and he is a pain in the ass. Without him around, I could go ahead and pull Beelzebub out of a hat if i wanted.

[Raleigh]

I know. *Chuckles.* So you plan to make war with him for the right to summon or what is your goal? Beings such as the Gatekeeper don't go down easily as I can attest to from having once held a similar job.

[Lucia]

Pretty much, yes. And I know they don't go easy, I spent a good while finding that out before I decided to seek help. Pain elementals being the highest demon I can summon is becoming rather vexing.

[Raleigh]

Indeed then. *Pats the snake summons on the head.* I suppose I will be helping to train you more then to summon more powerful entities indeed. This will be interesting.

[Lucia]

Sounds like it'll be great fun then.

Lucia smiles, imagining summoning great demons

[Raleigh]

Very well then, where shall we start? *He finshes putting away all the tools he had used to make the ring.* I believe it will be awhile since I can teach you my personal school of summons but I doubt you will need to call forth Orochi or Nidhoggr.

[Lucia]

Orochi? The legendary eight-headed snake? It's a summon somewhere? o.o;

Lucia is very obviously interested at this little namedropping

[Raleigh]

Yes, he is a summons under my care now. I couldn't just let him die after all since he would prove useful again and again. I collect a lot of the dying powers as they fade from the world of the living when I get a chance. Understandable you would want to summon him considering his power and potential.
