Scraped from here.
This world is called Center. A beautiful world filled with magic and power. A world where the impossible can happen, and where demons and angels tread. Where dragons rage under the sky, and where fire and ice dance together under the call of others. This is a world where the law of the Summoners reign. They have uncontested dominence of the world. Over a thousand years of rule, and still going strong.
They achieve this by being the best and the strongest. There has never been a doubt that a High Summoner is the greatest combatant the world has ever seen. The creatures bound by them are vast, and varied. Dangerous in all aspects, and some are capable of destroying armies alone. A High Summoner is one of the most powerful and deadly things in all creation.
You aren't one yet. Your father says you have potential, but also says that you have to wait until you turn fourteen to start. It's a bit of a pain really. Until then you are home schooled. Well, more like wagon schooled. Father's a trader. Not a very good one by his admission, but enough of one to keep you fed and satisfied.
It lets you get to all sorts of interesting places too. A bit lonely for sure, but you aren't particularly bothered by this. New friends at every place and such. You've been around the entity of Haven (The nation summoners usually live in) and have seen the arching towers of the High Summoners. You've seen the lowly fields plowed by summoned stone oxen, and been to the mines where goblins are slaved to mine. You got a scar from that last one. The goblins are nasty things that bite at anything close.
So you know a bit about everything. For instance, you know that each summoner has a number of rings on their hands to denote each major 'contract'. Basically a creature bound for life. Your father has one, and it binds the big horse that pulls your wagon. So he's considered a finger summoner. A High Summoner has two hands worth of rings.
You also know that this horse is a creature of the Fey plane, and is more a plant than flesh. So long as it gets water, it can go forever, and make your wagon move like it's running across ice. Your job is to keep it watered for father.
Probably your favorite lesson is the areas around Haven. Haven is a mountainous area. Hilly, with really big white mountains all around. It makes it so that summoners aren't bothered by other nations. To the north is the White Sea, a desert stretching almost a quarter of the continent. To the south is the Blood Fens, a swampy area. Further to the south are the hundred kingdoms. A place where people practice Elemental Magic, a lesser form of magic.
You are going north now. Towards the desert. Father has a lot of black rocks in the back of the wagon, all of them in big boxes. Combined with your supplies, you have barely enough room to sleep. Which is pretty unusual. You usually aren't so burdened.
It's your first time out of Haven. The wagon creeks and groans as it goes down the hills, and you see the white sands of the desert in the distance. Lovely, but it hurts your eyes a bit. Father gives you a hat to shade your eyes with, but it doesn't help much.
The sands are interesting at first, but the heat and the lack of features make it rather boring fast. You end up hiding in the wagon while you travel. It's covered so the sun at least keeps off you. Not fun otherwise.
It's only when your wagon stops do you perk up, and scamper up to the front of it.
And freeze. It's a strange woman in a skimpy white dress! She's perched on your father's horse and holding a spear! Her skin is a strange mix of black on pure white. Her eyes are white as if she were blind, but they seem to be tracking your father just fine. He's got his hands up.
"Hey!" You shake your hand and heft one of the big rocks ready to throw.
The eyes flick to you, and she looks very amused. "Your daughter?" She talks funny too.
"Yes." Father keeps his hands up. "Put down the rock honey."
"I thought her a summons at first." The woman jumps off the horse and lands next father, and close to you. "Such strange features for a little girl."
"She's a summons-child." Father clears his throat. "You should be expecting me. I have a shipment of iron."
"Yes. We are." The woman jumps off the wagon, and you release a breath you weren't even aware you were holding. "You appear to be as described." She points the spear. "That way trader. You aren't far."
Father clears his throat. "You are the guard then?"
"Of sorts." The woman looks from you to your father. "You are both as guests, but we cannot consider you allies as such yet. Another will be your escort when you arrive." Her face softens slightly. "Has the child been named?"
"Yes, of course." Your father looks a bit confused. "Her name is..."
