Mutant

Zeke and Luisa had already returned to Fernandel that same day and were having dinner.

"So how did it go with the elf Witcher?" Zeke inquired.

"It went well. He could really actually be of help." Luisa replied.

"What did you ask of him this time?" Zeke questioned.

"Have you heard of the gift bearers of the elves, Zeke?" She asked him.

He shook his head, "No I haven't."

"They're deities that helps in determining if an elf is gifted or not when summoned and they also help in acquiring such gifts faster by bestowing it upon the summoner." Luisa explained.

"Fascinating." Zeke responded.

"So are you planning to summon them?" He asked her.

"Yes and I already know how to summon that of the high elves, I have to do it alone, when the gold moon appears-"

"That's in two days time." He interrupted.

"Yes. I don't know how to summon that of the wood elves and that's why I met up with the elf Witcher and he promised to help." Luisa added.

"I see." Zeke uttered and took a final sip of his water.

"What about you Zeke? How did the meeting go? What's the final verdict on the issue?" Luisa asked.

"A lot of details are a little confidential for now," he told.

"Even for me?" Luisa raised her brows.

"Yes shortie. But, just know that we've come to a conclusion and the matter and conclusion has been relayed to the other councils of the four lands. You all will be briefed on the plan on the chosen date that it will be carried out. The date isn't so far off, we all have to be ready!" Zeke emphasized.

The day that Luisa would be summoning the gift bearer was finally here. The golden moon shone brightly on the night skies.

Luisa was in a room downstairs, it was a bedroom with a patio and she decided to carry out the ritual there, a few distance away from the patio.

With salt in a large bow, she drew markings on the ground. Then she lilt candles on the boxes or square part of the markings.

At the center marking, she sat in the middle and began chanting the spells, with her eyes closed.

She was sitting in a position just facing the gold moon, the golden rays of the moon just fell on her pale skin and the room. The wind carried the spells she whispered and just almost immediately she finished chanting the spells, a light wind blew out the candles.

Her eyes were still closed. She felt an even greater wind and that was when she opened her eyes, even the fireplace in the room was put out by the wind.

Though her eyes were open, she remained in that sitting position.

A circle that glowed golden appeared in the patio and a creature appeared from within, then the circle disappeared. The creature had the form of a woman with long hair but everything about it glowed with fire, even its eyes were blazing with fire.

The light from the gift bearer's fire form ignited the dark room again. She began to move towards Luisa, it wasn't walking- it was more like floating in the air and though it was made of fire, nothing that it touches was getting burnt.

Luisa changed her previous sitting position and was now on her knees in a kneeling position.

The bearer got to her and its hand reached out to Luisa and held her chin.

There was silence.

And after few minutes of just staring at Luisa, the bearer removed its hand from Luisa's chin and its eyes blazed even more as if in rage.

"You dare summon me mutant?!"
