Forgotten One

Discovery Arc: Let's Talk

"Elf Warrior," Sarah says softly, staring at her newest summoned monster- it was tall, taller than any adult she had seen before. But right now the monster was down on one knee, holding his right hand in a fist over his heart, and he was staring straight into Sarah's eyes.

Elves were one of the creatures in the Phantom Zone that had they own civilizations and culture- no human had ever tried learning their language; it was rumoured that the elves had picked up on the human language and when they returned, taught other for when they get captured.

The elves seemed to have a vow of silence since about two hundred years ago. This gave humans the excuse that these creatures were barbarians. When they were summoned 'monsters' they held no right as an intelligent creature.

Once upon a time, the lycanthropes were the same, creatures brought over from the Phantom Zone and stayed- of course, this happened thousands of years ago and this was never confirmed, lycanthropes claim it was so the humans could enslave them again.

There were other theories on now the lycanthropes came to be here.

Joanna frowns at the monster with the pointy ears, she circles it once, twice, three times and then walks over to where Sarah sat on the cold steps, "But he's such a lower class monster with that level, are ya sure he's gonna be enough to protect ya?"

"I'm sure he'll do fine," Sarah answers turning to her friend with a tight smile, she notices the slight twitch in the monster's eyes when Joanna had said that, making her think that the rumours of elves knowing human languages were true, "I am no fighter, so his role is to protect me during war class and help me get to the end. And I'm sure his level with raise with time."

"Hmph!" Joanna snorts through her nose, turning and glaring at the school building behind them, "Why can't they let lycanthropes have monsters too? ...well, I know they let second years have them. Don't seem fair!"

Sarah rolls her eyes, she had heard this since the last class. Standing she steps towards her Elf Warrior.

"You can return now, I will summon you when we go into 'war'." Talking to the elf as if he was a human, or respected as one- she held out her hands and a circle appears under the creature, the elf drops his blonde head, letting the power was over him and he vanishes, "Joanna."

"Yeah what?" Joanna asks, as she stops glaring and cursing at the school.

"Could you not call my monsters lower class." Sarah asks coming over to stand beside her, "I think all monsters have their strengths, it's only humans who put ranks on them."

"Huh? Oh sure, I don't care." Joanna says not taken offence, she really did not see it as a big deal.

"Thank you!" Sarah replies with a bright smile, then clapping her hands together when she remembers something, "Oh! the next monster I'm getting is a golem. It's a stone one. Rock hard, used mainly for defence. That should keep me safe as well."

"Sounds good!" Joanna agrees, she took a couple of steps and flops down on the stairs Sarah had just sat on, "How is that transfer skill coming along? And are ya still smelting sub-spaces?"

"Very well." Sarah answers with a joyful laugh, "You noticed I am not so tired? My power is growing stronger by the day."

"Really? That's great! You're in the money!" Joanna says with excitement, then pointing to herself, "Just don't forget your friend over here, remember if you start your own sub-space business, I want to work for ya."

"Sure no problem," Sarah says grinning madly at this, she could smelt in her sleep now and sub-spaces was one of the things she was getting good at now.

"Ya going right home today?" Joanna asks, she stood takes out her phone and glances at her clock on the screen, then bending down she picks up her bag and returns the phone to her pockets, "I have to be somewhere, see you later."

"Yeah, bye Joanna, have a nice weekend!" Sarah says with wave, she watches her friend start running towards the back gate of the school. Smiling happily she turns and starts making her way towards the front gate.

As she went along her mind starts to drift onto her project.

'Everything is in...' Sarah thinks in disbelief. She had done it, all her books and scrolls were now on the shelves of the second largest room of her Soul Room.

Every time she had added a room, or placing something in or out, she became like a zombie- her soul had to calm and grow used to this new addition.

Her board games, history collections and other collections she made were to one side of her main soul room, she had been making a storeroom and a display room of sorts.

Having just adjusted to it today, she was planning to move these into their new rooms.

The thing about her going into her Soul Room was she could also send her true body there as well. So she disappeared between the dimensions- a marker was placed where she left the world and she always had to return to that place on exiting.

Sarah had mastered the transfer skill, practising with her blob monster- she could send it to places she herself had been, or if she looks upon a map and judging the distance, she could send it there as well.

The next thing she wanted to do was, try and transfer herself, which was very risky; only five light bearers had transferred themselves and was recorded successfully- for the many others who failed this, it was not a pretty sight.

"Sarah!" Came a sweet voice from behind, smiling Sarah turns to see her oldest friend and secret crush. Although, they had not spoken much since entering high school... even when they were in the same class.

Amy Agua had very long blue hair and dazzling honey brown eyes, she was raised to be a lady and had the posture and manners to match.

"Amy!" Sarah happily greets, nodding to her as she came near, "I'd thought you would have gone home already."

"No," Amy replies looking suddenly shy, which was odd, she normally oozes with confidence, "I wanted to talk with you. Could we go somewhere a little more... private?"

Sarah's heart did a funny flip and she felt her cheeks grow warm.

"...sure," Sarah said quickly, she glances around at where they were, they were on the side path leading up to the front gates, although there were not that many people around at this hour, most in their clubs or already left the school ground, "Let's got to your workplace?"

"How about the park outside the station?" Amy asks looking more and more unsure of herself with each passing second. "Okay let's go there then," Sarah answers, together they walked on in silence. 'Wonder what she wants to talk about?'
