summoner (bakukiri x reader)

Chapter One

My eyes slowly opened as I woke up and got out of bed. I sleepely walked to the tiny bathroom next to my room and looked at myself in the mirror. I thought I was missing something but couldn't put my finger on it, then it hit me. My eyes widened in realization. Today's the ceremony! I scrambled back to my room and hurried to my closet. In it I found my dress a long white dress made of thin fabric, it was beautiful. And I hated it! I would do anything to just be able to wear pants and a shirt,but nooo I need to wear this crap. But I'm not the only one, everyone doing the ceremony must wear it so that makes it a little better.

Now you may be wondering what the hell is this dumb ceremony. Well it's to decide if I'm a summoner or not. It is something that happens on the first of July if you're 15 on that date you will undergo it and finish it, even if you don't want to. Sadly with the dying population of sunset village only a handful of teenagers are left and even less are summoners. Now on with the story.

Once I was fully ready, my (h/c) hair put up in braids and then into buns and my elegant body wrapped in the disgusting dress it was almost noon. Which meant, I needed to hurry.

Wen I arrived the first thing I noticed was the few fimiliar faces. I don't have many friends. I just didn't care enough to make some since I'm leaving soon and am planning to go alone. I wandered around for a little bit talking some here and there then went to the end of the small podium in the middle of the beautiful field full of summer flowers it was truly magnificent together with the amazing weather it was the perfect day to do this.

Not long after I arrived at the podium the priest of the village called for everybody to gather around the podium. Everybody silenced and came to look at the priest. I knew what was gonna happen next I saw this happen every year. He will give a boring speach and call out for every teenager that is having his ceremony.

After a longggg time I finally heard my name. Once I was up the podium all eyes were on me, and I became a nervous wreck. It was straight up terrifing. I hate getting this much attention. However on the outside I remained calm and smiled happily. I took a bow towards the public to then turn to the priest and do the same.

A quick explanation of what is going to happen. Every teenager on this podium will get a smal glass filled with demon blood, pretty disgusting right? Well it gets worse, you need to drink it. Yup, that's right, drink it! Anyways after that the first sings of it working will be nausea but you have to keep everything in because if you don't the demon blood will come back out and you will be seen as a failure. If you manage to keep it in, the next thing that will happen are the appearance of the demon symbols you need to tame and control your demons. These hurt a lot and you need to stay completely silent if you make a noise the pain will stop and the symbols will fade. You will again be seen as a failure. The last is the worst it's the summoning of your demon. This isn't necessarily painful it's just hard to do. Again if you don't succeed,you will again be seen as a failure. But the marking won't fade you will still be able to summon a demon it will just never be as strong  as it could be if you did it from the first time.

Now you have different types of starters demons de demon you get depends on your personality and strengths.

It was time, I had the glass in my hand and was waiting for my turn to gulp it down. I already felt grossed out by what I was holding and now I need to drink it. But it was to late it was already my turn. I closed my eyes and gulped it down. Almost immediately I felt nauseas it started as nothing and in matters of Second my hand was in front of my mouth I had never felt so much urge to barf. It was a litteral hell! After a minute or so it was gone as sudden as it appeared it disappeared. I was so relieved I forgot about the next part. I looked at my hand and saw some black symbols on my hand accompanied with a wave of pain. Lucky me with my high pain endurance because it felt like every bone in my body was slowly breaking. In all of my glory I fell to my knees crying. But not once did I make a noise. After a while the pain went away I was still on my knees when the priest began to speak. I couldn't hear it though I was so caught up in my self pity that I only noticed once his hand was in front of me that I needed to get up. Shakely I took his hand and got back on my feet. I could hear him loud and clear now. He was talking about the next event and if I was ready to give it a try. I nodded Shakely and looked at my hands. I noticed the magical symbols on my right hand they were black with a hint of red. Even though I knew nothing about the symbols I knew it's hella rare to have them in two colors. A tiny wave of pride  washed over me and I felt a little bit more relaxed. But that didn't make the fact of what I needed to do next any better. It was time to summon my demon.

Of the 10 teenagers that were participating 3 were still standing on the podium I was the last in the row. The first one, a boy took a while finding the symbol. Once he found the piece of art located on his left shoulder blade. He closed his eyes and focused. At first noting happend but after a short while it started glowing. Before I knew it his whole Bodie was engulfed in the weird light blue light. After a few seconds it was gone and a little bug the size of my hand was on his shoulder. The boy looked happy and disappointed at the same time. The little bug demon also know as a bug mite, had a pretty dark blue shell that reflected the sunlight. Underneath his shell he had a black body and if you looked really hard you could see the tips of its wings sticking out. At its butt there was a tiny stinger that would later grow out to be a dangerous weapon and on its face he had oval eyes that could see in almost every direction. For a beginners demon it was pretty cool.

After admiring the bug demon it was the girl next to me her turn. Sadly for her her symbol was on her belly right above her bellybutton which meant she needed to strip the top part of her dress off. When she was done I was mesmerized by the color of the symbol it was a pastel purple. I had never seen this before. But sadly after a few minutes of trying to summone her demon she fel to the floor panting. A sign that she failed she was guarded down the podium. In the crowd I heard people whisper about her being a failure and discrase. This enraged me because she actually got her symbol, something not many can say. But I didn't have time to think about that because it was my turn. I inhaled slowly and deeply, when I exhaled I closed my eyes and focused completely on my right hand there were my symbol was. In my concentration I frowned and a drupple of sweat ran down my forehead. Nothing seemed to change and when I opened my eyes everyone was staring at me. I had failed hadn't I? I was so disappointed. I really though I could do. I looked down in shame. The priest walked over to me and said something I didn't quit understand. When he repeated what he said my eyes widened in shock.
