Ryo stood in the middle of the clearing. Terion had confirmed that this location had a high concentration of natural mana and Ryo had finished drawing up a massive summoning circle.

Artemis to the clearing, making it on time for once. She didn't bring much of anything, just herself. "Hey Ryo!" She called out to him as she arrived, looking down at the circle, "Ooh! I love the occult! I used to read some books when i was younger and it always interested me." She smiled, walking over to him and checking out the rest of the circle.

She looks back to him, "So what are you planning to do?" She asks with a bit of a head tilt. She was very interested with the occult ever since she could read. She'd take the little precious time she had growing up reading occult books, learning about dark magic and their awesome powers.

"This is a combination of a contractual summon circle and a summon circle for higher order demons. I added safety measures like a recoil and a management substitute. I'm...going to have to ask that you tell no one about what is said and done here,"Ryo said. Maybe she would be able to help with his experiment. But he would do only what he was sure would be safe. "Things might get terrifying, but no matter what, stay next to me. If you agree to these conditions, I will begin."

Artemis stands by him as he explains the drawing on the ground, "I've seen a circle like these in the occult books I used to read," she says as she continues to look at the circle and then looking back at him, "Oh don't worry, I'm not someone who lets secrets slide out." She walked around it a bit as Ryo explained the details about what he might do.

"What do you have in mind?" she says as she looks to him, Artemis across from him, "I mean, I've dealt with ghosts before." She walked back over to him, standing near him like he instructed.

Ryo let out a deep sigh. "Far from here is a small village where demons are treated as business partners and workers. Each family has a pact with a certain group of demons that helps them run festivals even. That is where the hat shop comes from every Halloween. I summon it. However that is different than summoning a demon and using its powers. Pacts are an agreement between the summoner and the demon that mean they work together for a discussed price. I give them access to the mana of the human world and they give out hats and such. What I plan on doing is summoning powerful demons who's powers I can use in combat. At present though, all I've managed to do is injure myself,"he said with a pause as the next revelation was a bit hard for him.

"You see.......I have a demon attached to my soul. And not just any demon. A very high order demon, like a god among the demons. I only possess its soul but that alone has tremendous power and requires tremendous mana and life force to summon just from my body." Made sure he and Artemis were standing in the left circle. "That is where you come in. I alone do not possess enough life energy to safely summon any such demon especially one held by a sealing spell of this caliber. However with two people working in tandem, it might be possible to make a safe summon,"he said. "Its easier since it is on the same plane as us and this circle should be enough to keep us safe. We just need to work as a single unit if we wish to do this. If we can manage a summon, then we move onto phase two, research into shrinking the circle and the spell so that it becomes more practical in fast paced combat. If we succeed, both of us will be able to utilize demonic powers in combat making us much more powerful."

"What do you say? Are you willing to do this?"

Artemis watches him as he gives his speech, her expressions changing as he brought up demon summoning and life forces, "I didn't know that demons would be so close," She says, "And to use them in combat sounds a bit dangerous. What if it gets out of control?" She asks, looking at the circle then back to him with a cautious look. He then mentions a demon being a part of his soul, her expression staying the same. "M-My life energy? As in the force that keeps me alive?" She asks a bit hesitantly, Ryo reassuring her that two people would be a better result, "Well, if two people have better control than I guess I could."

She thinks about it for a moment, the power of a demon could help her with being more independent. Which would definitely help her in managing a business. Too bad that's not the reality. "Y-Yeah, I will do it," She smiled nervously, "Maybe in doing so I will become stronger."

"Don't worry, I put enough safe measures in the circle to protect you from getting harmed. And you won't grow old or anything. You just feel tired. I would never put you in serious danger,"Ryo said. He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket. "This has the incantation it's a bit long but it works. We will need to stand in this circle and recite the spell at the same time for it to work properly. When you are ready, we can begin,"he said.

The paper read:
The darkness within
The beginning of sin
Come forth at my hand
Obey my command
And blot out all foes in my path.

Artemis nervously smiled, "Ok then," she replied, "Yeah, I don't think I'd want to turn old." She then watched as he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, Ryo handing it to her. The paper contained an incantation, a spell to bring about the ritual they were about to preform. She looked over the spell, reading it in her mind as she moved into the circle.

She steps into the circle and looks up at him, nodding her head, "I'm ready," she said with confidence, "Here we go." She looked back down at the paper and began to read it, following along with Ryo and keeping their speeds the same.

As they spoke the incantation, the circle began to glow and the sky turned dark. A huge pulse of dark energy continuously pumped out from the circle. Ryo could feel the energy being sucked from his body slowly. A glowing black sphere emerged from Ryo's body and sunk into the ground at the center of the circle.

A black mist began to leak from the center of the circle and the ground began to shake. Lightning fell from the sky and struck the mist as if the world wanted to keep what was being summoned at bay. "Almost there. Keep your concentration and no matter what happens, do not be afraid,"Ryo said.

The mist had become quite large and was now swirling together and getting taller. A horrific roar emanated from the mist. It began to solidify and take shape. Posted Image
Every mouth on the creature let out a horrible scream. "It seems as though we summoned the wrong thing. This demon lacks intelligence. It's pure destruction incarnate. Not to worry though, we can still use it.,"Ryo said. The creature's mist like tentacles tried to grab the two but it was met with an invisible barrier. The circle was holding up quite well.

"Now we just need to figure out what the heck we are going to do with this thing,"Ryo said. He scratched his head. "Any ideas? I've got a few, but they will require a bit of work."

Artemis watched as the circle glowed, a pulse of darkness emitting from the circle as her energy is a bit drained. She watched as a dark sphere exited Ryo, a few seconds later a black mist was seeping out of the center. She continued to remain silent as she watched, looking at Ryo simultaneously. Lightning came down and pierced the mist, Artemis jumping a bit as the bright flashed blinded her a bit. After her vision came back, she saw a fearsome black creature before them. She watched as it's mouths screamed out, "It seems as though we summoned the wrong thing. This demon lacks intelligence. It's pure destruction incarnate. Not to worry though, we can still use it," Ryo said.

She watched as its tentacles were deflected by a barrier, Artemis looks to him, "What do you mean?" She asks, trying to stay calm while yelling over the creatures screams, "I-I think this is a bit too much!" She continued to stand there, looking back at it every once in a while, "Now we just need to figure out what the heck we are going to do with this thing," Ryo said. He scratched his head. "Any ideas? I've got a few, but they will require a bit of work."

She looks to him again, "I think we should send it back," she says as she steps back an inch, "I don't think it would be wise to do anything other than that!" She looks at the horrendous creature, its screams were blood curdling and its appearance ghastly to say the least.

Ryo laughed. "Don't be worried. I've actually seen a few of these back in my home town. This is a Devourer. All they do is act scary. They mostly just eat everything in sight. However, they also possess large amounts of mana which we can harvest and use as raw magical power. Ryo knelt down and began drawing something in the dirt with his finger. It was another spell circle and it connected with the circle they were in.

"They are actually a mutation of demons that grow too powerful too fast. Their own world causes a feed back transforming them into monsters like this. The more intelligent demons have asked demon contractors like my family to either banish or destroy them whenever we come across them. But since the only other demon realm in the area is in the forest near the city, we should probably destroy it,"he said as he stood up.

He looked at the demon and yelled. "Hey, demon! Down here!" he yelled at the demon. It turned to look at him and stopped screaming. "You and I both know that I can probably crush you in an instant, but since the maiden standing next to me has requested your release, I shall send you back. In exchange for you freedom, however, I would like to make a request. I would like two bands of your essence. I think that would be fair. It will also revert you back to your original state. So how about it? Do we have a deal?"he asked the demon.

He knew it lacked the brain to understand everything he said but it understood freedom and so it nodded. Ryo touched the circle he had just drawn and it began to glow white. The circle surrounding the demon also glowed white and it began to shrink. When the spell was complete, Ryo held two bands made of shadows and in the circle was what appeared o be a gargoyle-like creature. Ryo held out his other hand and began to recite a spell.
"Back to where you came
Once broken, now whole again."


In an anti climactic flash of light, the demon was gone.

She stops and looks to Ryo, Artemis a bit scared at the grotesque monster. She listens to him as he explains, "S-So you think we could take mana from it?" she asks as he continues to speak. She watched as he drew another circle, looking down at him as he did. She moved to the side a bit as he stood up, looking back at the creature. She watched as the beast became silent as Ryo made a deal with the creature, ensuring its release.

The creature agreed with a nod, a bright white light coming from the small circle and then the larger one. The circle began to shrink smaller and smaller, the monster turned to stone like a gargoyle. She looked to Ryo as he held to dark ringed objects, "What are those?" She asked after he finished his spell. She looked back over to where the creature was but it had vanished.

"What now?" She asked as she moved in front of him to face him, standing where the creature stood. She looked down at the ground and didn't see anything to show that it was there, at least to her eye. "Is that really it?" she asked another question.

"Well, it's back to the drawing board for me. This circle has a few issues with it which is why we weren't able to summon the correct demon. What we managed to do was summon a minor demon and overflow its body with power. Which in itself is a good accomplishment, but not our goal. As for you, you have your options. You can run away like most others from the monster that I am and that I deal with or you may join me in my research and share in its bounties should I manage to succeed. For at least listening to me and helping me with this experiment, I will give you this,"he said as he held one of the shadowy, bracelet-sized rings to her.

"This is a Devourer Essence. It works similarly to the demon itself. It drains the surrounding area of mana and gives it to you as either energy, power, or mana based on what you need to have more of. In other words, it feeds your hunger with the life of the world. Its pretty useful, and there aren't really any bad side effects. I say it that way because none have been reported. Anyway, since you were part of the spell, both you and the Essence are linked,"he explained. "It changes size to fit the user's style as well."

She listens instinctively, standing there looking around as well. The clouds broke up and sun shined through like earlier, before the clouds came in with lightning. She looks to him when he gives her two options, "I don't see you as a monster," she says with a determined look, "And I'd like to help with research." She smiled as he gave her one of the bracelets, putting it on her wrist.

"It takes the mana?" she asks while looking at the bracelet, "Even other peoples mana?" She spins the bracelet around using her own power, moving it slowly. "Ooh! So I could wear it as a belt or something," She smiles to him, her hands at her side, "Well, I'm gonna head home for now. Call me up when you feel like doing some more research." She waves to him as she takes off.

Ryo smiled and waved back as he watched Artemis leave. "I must say, this experiment, even though it was a failure, did work out in the end,"he said to himself out loud.

Yeah, you got closer to that Artemis girl. Though, you already have won the attentions of another girl.Terion taunted.

"What? No, that wasn't what I was talking about. And I don't know what you mean by another girl. I was talking about the Devourer Essence. This will help to alleviate the mana draw of summoning making portable summoning much easier,"he said.

You didn't deny my first remark.....the demon teased.

"I thought I did. Hm....guess I'll have to put holy water in the next circle,"Ryo said.

I'll be quiet now.

"Good. Now I just need to clean all this up and then I can leave,"he said as he got ready to snap his fingers. A gust of wind blew through and blew dust over the lines, covering them up. "That was easy,"he said as he left, slipping the Essence onto his finger in the shape of a ring.
