Story of a girl who wanted EVERYTHING

Chapter 18

- Caorth, ehh? – I smiled as finally I could breathe. But I would have rather died than looking behind me. I was a clairvoyant... which meant that I lived in constant fear of seeing something I didn't want to. The Underworld was one of those "something".

I wanted to tell him that I wanted that contract too... but suddenly, I felt like falling a million meters... and the air was once again out from my lungs.

- What the! – I shouted when I finally arrived back to the reality, breathing heavily from the sudden changes. I realized that Grandmaster Raffen broke the summoning circle.

- Why... - I was dumbfounded, but he didn't care. He shook me by my shoulders to make my get myself together.

- You said Caorth, didn't you, Winnie? – he asked it like a maniac. I saw the other Masters behind him... fear was the only expression I saw.

- Yes, he was... - I started to explain everything, but Grandmaster Raffen already stood up. He looked back at the other Masters and shook his head. What in the world was happening?

- Uhm... can I go back to one of the most important moments of my life? – I asked confusedly. But the way Master Raffen looked back at me... made me feel too uneasy.

- Winnie... - he started, but he didn't continue.

- What? – I asked anxiously.

- Do you even know who Caorth is? – one Master looked at me.

- Of course I don't! You all know me that well already – I sighed.

- Well, we can't blame her, Caorth is not in the books anyways – another Master said so. I just shrugged, I wanted to go back to make a darn contract with him. He answered my call and declared his will of making a contract.

- Just what is wrong, tell me – I asked helplessly. Grandmaster Raffen looked at me once more and said:

- Winnie, we can't let you go through with this.

- What?! – I asked in complete shock.

- Caorth is a high-ranked demon – he told me. And... I was speechless. I... could summon a high-ranked demon? Me, Winnie? How was this even possible? I supposed my willpower and confidence were truly a plus.

- Well, this can happen – I shrugged eventually. – Just like it's an abomination that I'm a Fire type, it's also an abomination that I was able to do this.

- It's not so easy! – Grandmaster Raffen raised his voice. – I can't let you make a contract with a high-ranked demon. You're definitely not ready for it and it's not allowed anyways. Only high-born Clan members can do such things.

- And what if I am a high-born? It's a possibility too! – I stood there angrier with every moment. My sentence shocked the Grandmaster alongside with everyone in the room.

- I don't know of an example of high-born members leaving their child... but even if it happened, we have no proof of it. You are just an orphan from the Earth Clan and it's time for you to behave like that.

- But...

- I can't let you summon a high-ranked demon... and with that sword, of all. That's a cheap work from the Fire Clan, maybe not even able to hold the power of Caorth...

- Then let me try to summoning again... - I begged. I kinda got his point too. I realized that if I was able to do this now... I was somewhere in the same rank in abilities as young master Deán for some reason. A blueblood. While I was a street kid.

- He would come back to you, not letting the lower-ranks go through after this – the Grandmaster shook his head. - Not to mention that one can make a summoning only once in a year.
