The Summoner And The Ninja

Chapter 6

Baron castle was still as welcoming as she remembered it to be, including the town as well! Immediately arriving to Baron she was escorted to her living chambers and Queen Rosa knocked on the door.

"Your majesty!" She quickly bowed to Queen Rosa.

"Oh no Rydia, it's just Rosa to you, so please I can't have my best friend bowing to me." She requested.

"Of course" Rydia said.

"Anyways am sorry Cecil and I weren't presence at the castle when you arrived. How sad I was to be informed that you left without me seeing you."

"It's okay! Am here now that's all that matters." Rydia responded.

"Indeed it does, unfortunately we have to catch up after you speak with Cecil.. he has news that you should be informed of immediately." Rosa spoke.

"I see, okay well catch up later." She smiled as she made her way to the throne room.

She was escorted to the King's throne and there she saw Cecil.

"Before you bow," Cecil spoke."Don't, you are a welcomed friend very dear to me, so our relation will be friendly." He said. "With that said how are you Rydia.

"Good Cecil." She questionably responded.

"Well that's splendid, am sure your wondering why I suddenly requested your presence, so I'll cut to the chase." He spoke. "On my way back to Baron a couple days ago from Kapio, I saw familiar eidolons being present in the forest next to the castle." "So I decided to check for myself to make sure it was you, and I noticed the eidolons was the same eidolons you summoned. But it wasn't you." He said.

"I began to observe the young girl who was commanding the eidolons and I began to think if any summoner can summon the same monsters?" "I than remembered how you informed me that you was the last  summoner."

Rydia was shocked. Another summoner? Was she not the only survivor of the destruction of the Mist?

Cecil began to speak again. "This girl looks fairly familiar to you Rydia, in fact at first I mistakened myself thinking it was you, until Rosa said otherwise."

"As King of Baron it is my responsibility to be informed of my region and know what's going on, so I went to talk to this mysterious girl."

A girl who looks like me? Rydia thought. I don't understand. She can summon as well, am I not the last summoner?

He continued,"When talking to this girl, she was so open and lost. She began crying telling me that she was not from this planet and she is not of our species. She doesn't remember where exactly she is from, but she knows it's not here."

"She informed me that she doesn't remember how she came to be here and she wasn't accustomed to our habitat, this girl had high word choice and she knows a lot of things most kids her age shouldn't know." Cecil explained.

"I then asked her of her parents, if she remembered them. She then responded that she didn't have parents, instead she was created to be a clone copy of a high summoner and black mage. And that is all she remembers."

"So naturally Rosa and I came to the conclusion that you had to be the one she was taking about, the status you have and the looks this girl and you have is fairly similar. I asked you to come here Rydia to visit this girl." He requested.

Still lost in thought, Rydia was still trying to correspond with this news she was being told. After thought she said," I too am curious with this news.. I will certainly like to meet... Sorry but can you tell me her name Cecil? I didn't catch it."

"I would love to tell you Rydia but unfortunately this girl said she didn't have a name." He spoke.

"No name?" She questioned.

"Well can you meet her immediately?"

"Certainly Cecil I can see her now."

"Great." He said.

"Guards! Please escort the girl to this room." Cecil kindly ordered.

"Yes sir!" The two guards responded.

In the matter of minutes the door opened and came two guards and one girl. The girl was wearing a white dress and necklace. She certainly had unique hair like Rydia, but not as green, more like light green-teal color. And had orange eyes, she looked to be a young 4 to 5 year old girl.

"Hello." Rydia smiled. "Am Rydia, high summoner and black mage. It's nice to meet you. " she spoke.

The mysterious girl looked at her with surprised eyes. Was this is woman who she was cloned to be? It must there is only one that can be and this woman has the title and similar looks.

"Hello Rydia." The mysterious girl spoke, "It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance." She immediately and formally spoke.

The girl bowed to Rydia. "Oh no you shouldn't bow to me young one." Rydia said," King Cecil told me what you told him, young one is there anything you would like to ask me?" She asked.

The mysterious girl thought and said,"Lady Rydia I believe you to be the subject I was meant to be when I was directly informed to be a clone to be an exact match of your looks and your capabilities." The girl spoke. "Observing you now I wish to be like you when I grow older with the years going by. Unfortunately I do not remember the reasons for my creation, nor the reason why you was being the target to clone Lady Rydia."

"Please call my Rydia and it's okay for you not to remember young one." She smiled.

"Okay young girl, it's time for Rydia and I to talk, please await at the gardens." Said Cecil.

"Yes your majesty, I well observe the children to comprehend how a human 'kid' is in this world. " she spoke as she left.

"What do you think Rydia?" He spoke.

"I think she is a nice girl who is confused of her existence." She spoke.

"I believe her purpose was to be clones from you to be a dangerous enemy threat who has your capabilities." Cecil straight out said.

"No! She is just a little girl, who knows the reasons why she was cloned, but I do believe she will not cause harm to anyone." "Yes she is different from you and I, but I do know she deserves a life of her own." She spoke in defense. "What will you do to her?"

"I don't know Rydia, this is a difficult situation of something we don't have a lot of knowledge on. I think out best bet will to have her on tight security away from the castle. Until we know more and can gather she is not a threat." He recommended.

"No Cecil you shouldn't do that! She is just a young child who is confused. It's not her fault she was cloned. She doesn't know of this world. She can't be a threat to this world, anyways she was meant to be me right? Well I would never attack anyone!" She yelled.

"What are you proposing we do then?" Cecil questioned. 

"Let me look after her please! No guards no look out. I can do this. I can teach her to be good and the ways of this world. She can be a normal girls if you trust me." She requested.

Cecil was unsure and he took time thinking of the situation but he came to a conclusion to let Rydia try this out. "Okay, you may be the guardian of the girl, but if anything suspicious happens, she gets placed into the care of Baron enemy status." "It's only for the sake of the people. Please understand." He spoke.

"I do,  and don't worry cause nothing bad is going to happen, thank you for trusting me. " she said as she left the room to talk to the girl.
"Of course I do my friend." He spoke.
