Soul Pact

As Adrian and his new companion made it back to the capital. They were stop at the gate. The wolf was not allowed into the capital, as it had not made a 'Soul Pact' with Adrian.

A 'Soul Pact' can only be made by a magician focusing in summoning and taming monsters. It is special profession in the magician trade, and it is hard to find someone willing to help you.

Adrian had no idea where to find someone with this profession, so he decided that he would just ask around in the guild. They might know a thing or two about this.

"Wolf, I am sorry you can't join me, can you just stay here in the vicinity? I will be back soon!" Adrian turned to the wolf. He had really taken a liking to it, since it had the same personality as him. He could also feel that the wolf was forming a bond with him.

The wolf just looked at him, and ran into the forest to stay out of sight. Adrian Chose to go back into the capital, and into the guild.

It was still in the middle of the day when Adrian arrived at the guild, so it was busy with people there.

Adrian went up to the receptionist, to get his task rewards, while also getting some information about the summoning magician.

"So, here is your 1 silver for the task! Can I help you with anything else?" The receptionist came back with his reward.

"There is actually, do you know where I can find a tamer?" Adrian asked, he still had his indifferent look.

"I know one! Did you see the fight the guild master had the other day?"

"Yeah, I did" Adrian was still very curious about that.

"The man he was fighting, is actually an all around magician! He might know something!" The receptionist was happy to be able to help a little. She didn't feel like asking him about why he needed one, he would say that if he wanted her to know.

"Oh, really? How do i get in contact with him?" Adrian was curious about this. He wanted to meet him before, and now he had a reason to seek him out.

"Unfortunately, you don't have any way to meet Mr. Sondre, you have to hope you meet randomly!" The receptionist was very sorry about this, but she did not have any power in this matter.

Before Adrian could answer, he heard a voice from behind. "Did I just hear my name?" A tall man, with a sword around his waist came out from behind Adrian. He was Mr. Sondre the magician. Now tha Adrian saw him up close, he could see he was a man around his own height. The looks of the man was actually on par, if not a little above Adrians.

"M-M-M-Mr. Sondre, y-yes, I said your esteemed name!" The receptionist got really nervous when she saw Mr. Sondre, he was like a celebrity here.

"How may I help you miss?" He was a polite man, even though you could see a little arrogance in his eyes.

"I needed your help Mr. Sondre!" Adrian said something now, so the receptionist were saved. Adrian was not as polite and nervous as the receptionist. He had grown a lot with through the fights he had had.

"Oh, and how may i help you kid?" Mr. Sondre was quite taken aback by Adrians indifferent attitude towards him. He kind of like it, he had never seen a youth be like that towards him. This only made him curious about Adrian.

"I have found a wolf I would like to get tamed! I heard you have some knowledge about this!" Adrian kept his indifferent attitude.

"Where do is this wolf then?" Mr. Sondre didn't see the wolf, so he was curious as to where to find the wolf.

"Outside the city" Adrian gave a short answer.

"Oh, and how do you know it will still be there?" This peaked Mr. Sondre's curiosity. He knew how hard it was to make a wolf submit, and Adrian was sure it was still outside the city, without a 'Soul Pact.

"I don't!" Adrian gave the honest answer. He was actually quite nervous about this himself. The only reason the wolf started following him was because he would let it live. Now it had the chance to run away without a problem.

"HAHA, I like that kid!" Mr. Sondre liked Adrian's attitude, it was quite fun "If I help you, what can you give me then?" Nothing was free in this world.

"What do you want?" Adrian looked at him in a weird way, how could Adrian help him?

"I want a sparring partner!" Mr. Sondre was giving him a battle hungry smile.

Adrian couldn't help but give a smile back "I am not strong enough though!" Adrian had to be honest. He would love to fight this man too, but he was just not at the same level.

"Not yet no, but I can feel you are battle hungry too, and I feel you will definitely become stronger!" Mr. Sondre had already gotten some predictions about Adrian, his hopes were high. Anyway, all he had to do to get a new sparring partner in the future, was helping a boy with a 'Soul Pact.'

Adrian honestly thought that this man was kind of shady, but he didn't really care. If all he wanted was a sparring partner in the future, he wouldn't mind, since this would be fun for Adrian too.

"So, you helping or not?" Adrian didn't want to continue the conversation. He needed him to help with the wolf.

"Of course kid, where do we go?" Mr. Sondre was ready to go, he was excited that Adrian agreed.

"We are going to the mountain" Adrian answered, as they started walking there.

When they arrived at the gate, Adrian walked out to the forest at the bottom of the mountain, where the wolf went in.

He was really nervous that that the wolf wouldn't be there. When he walked in the forest, he looked around, and couldn't really find the wolf. It seemed like the wolf had completely disappeared.

A few minutes went by, and Adrian was about to give up. Suddenly he heard some rustling coming from behind him. He turned around, ready to fight. What he saw though, was the wolf he had fought earlier.

Adrian went over to the wolf, smiled, and padded its head. The wolf just looked at Adrian with a weird look, but it did not seem to mind the padding.

"Come with me, I have found someone to help with the 'Soul Pact.' The wolf just walked with Adrian towards the gate where they were rejected entry earlier. In front of the gate, Mr. Sondre were waiting, so Adrian and the wolf went straight to him.

"Oh kid, you found a Demon wolf? that is lucky!" Mr. Sondre couldn't help but feel that Adrian was lucky enough to get this wolf's trust. "It also seem like it is a special Demon wolf" He murmured the last part. Adrian couldn't hear it, but the wolf could. It gave Mr. Sondre a dangerous look.

"You ready for the pact kid?" Mr. Sondre ignored the wolf's look, and looked back at Adrian.

"How do we do this?" Adrian knew nothing, so he had to ask.

"All you need to do is stand in the middle of my magic formation, and then name your wolf partner!" It was a really easy process. The problem was that Adrian didn't know if it was a male of female wolf.

"Okay kid, let us begin!" Adrian saw that Mr. Sondre lifted his arms up, at started chanting something in a weird voice. Suddenly two purple circles with weird symbols inscribed in them, formed around him and the wolf.

"Time to name the wolf!" Mr. Sondre said this when the circles lights were at the peak.

"I now name you Innes" Adrian said, and the circles lit up brightly, before disappearing into nothingness.

Adrian looked at Mr. Sondre "Was that it?" The process barely took ten seconds, at apparantly that was enough.

"That is it, try to feel your connection!" Mr. Sondre was also a little surprised. Normally the animal would try to reject the pact, which would make the process longer. This wolf though, accepted the pact immediately.

Adrian looked at the wolf, and could feel all its feelings. At the moment the wolf felt happy. Adrian didn't know why though, since it had just submitted to a human. Adrian also conveyed his feelings towards the wolf while smiling, and the wolf started wagging its tail.

Adrian was really excited about this. He could feel that their bond was good. It was amazing what this pact could do really. Adrian got really excited for the future now, he had just gotten a partner he could trust his back with.

This was the start of a partnership, that would be feared by many in the future.
