Mystical Encounters 5 Chapter 5

Irvene had enough rest and when she woke up, it's already morning. She went to the backyard and found Fluff in a corner sleeping comfortably. Looks like Elis had took good care of Fluff. She'll build a small shelter for Fluff later. However, Elis isn't around the area though, she knows where he stayed when she didn't summon him. Irvene decided not to disturb him and instead, picked up some spices in her garden that will be use for cooking breakfast.

The aroma of what she's cooking lingers around her house. Irvene felt her stomach grumbled upon her new dish she tried an hour ago. Now that she'll have more company in her house, she should learn to cook a few more dishes that will suit their taste. Cooking has been her hobby since she's younger so she learn to cook dishes properly without anyone's guidance. The food's scent has reached Elis and she found him walking through the kitchen and sit at the dining table.

"Hmm.. master, you surely cooked delicous foods everyday." he said. Elis praised his master even more so that he'll have to eat the dishes she made everyday.

"Don't touch the food yet! I'll just get Fluff." Irvene said.

He likes that little creature but he frowns when he heard what she said. He's hungry already and the sight of the food makes him even more hungry than ever but Irvene didn't made him wait for too long because she only took half a minute. Irvene came back quickly before Elis would eat all of it as what she can see from his eyes.

"Here's Fluff! We can eat now." she said. Irvene placed Fluff above the table and he even had his own plate that would be separate from them. Fluff looked more pleasing to the eyes today. 'I think Elis cleaned Fluff yesterday.' she thought. It's a good thing Elis liked Fluff so there would be no trouble between the two although, he looks like the type who don't fancy over cute things. She just ended up shrugging her shoulders.

The taste of the food made them enjoy eating and the two of them didn't talked until they finished eating. Irvene looked at them and she's glad that she have companions to be with when she's alone.

"Thanks for the meal!" he said.

Irvene cleaned the dishes while Elis went out and stayed in the garden with Fluff. After that, she took out the jar that contains the water of spring of truth and goes to the garden. Irvene placed the jar to the ground and took the eternal black lotus that floats through her small pond. She'll finally be able to have an earth-type spirit element.

White and black light appeared once she placed it on the water from the spring of truth. "An Earth being, lived on land, hear thy call!" she casted. Her spell didn't failed as a form of a human took shape and a green braided hair appeared. It's a small girl and it has a flower crown on her head. When a being is summoned, it will took form as a child and it'll grow up depends on how it's power will increase and they have a form like humans. They'll get older quickly if they have formidable powers and her best example is Elis.

They are known as living monster such as fire living monster but she prefer them to be called living elements and not monsters. Only a few number of people could summon one even if they have all the resources in the world.

"A being has succesfully summoned me." she said.

Irvene cheered inside her. "Will you form a bond between you and me?" she asked. She should not force a living element or it would show disagreement if felt being threatened.

"Someone who'll succesfully summoned me should be my master so I agree." she said. The earth living element bowed a little.

"Then I shall form a contract with you." Irvene said. After forming a contract, she gave her a name.

"From now on, you will be called Ivy." she said. Irvene smiled at her. Ivy has an indifferent att.i.tude compared to Elis. A cold gaze welcomed Irvene when she finally contracted her.

"And you can call me Irvene." she said. However, Ivy refused.

"A master should be treated with utmost respect. I would prefer calling you master." Ivy said. Irvene sighed and admitted defeat. Irvene doesn't want to be called master yet her living elements insist on addresing her that name.

"Okay, I won't bother you with that." Irvene said. Getting used to it would be the best.

"Master!"

Irvene heard a shout from Elis. "What's the problem?" she asked. His sudden actions made her have an uncomfortable feeling. He gave her a small envelope that made her heart beat faster than ever before. It's a letter from that man. "Do I need to leave this place already and find some new one far, far away?" Irvene said. The letter isn't opened yet but she had an idea who is the sender.

"Dear Irvene, don't you stayed away at Soul'e for too long? I'll let you live there for a little while but if you don't come back, I will bring you here by myself."

Irvene read what's written on the letter and didn't dare to say his name. Even the sight of his name made Irvene tremble.

"You can't escape from him, don't you?" Elis said.

Irvene rolled her eyes at him. He stayed on her side for years that he had known her for a long time. Ivy looked at them and is clueless about what is happening to her master. Irvene gave her a small bottle of liquid and made her drink it.

"That liquid will help you gain control of your powers. Since you're a newbie, I'll teach you okay?" she said. Ivy has a lot to learn so she used her time to teach Ivy a few tricks.

Elis shrugged his shoulders and walked through his temporary home. "I think we'll leave this place sooner. Do I need to pack some things now?" he said. Although, Elis remembered that he'll lose his chance to go through the town's forest so he will stroll there today.
