Omega Summoner

My mother was the strongest wolf I have ever known. She was feared by her enemies and respected by her pack. Other pups would always bully me for being different than them but I knew they were probably just jealous of my mother.

Unlike my mother, their parents are not that strong so they ask mother to be their leader. She was the best wolf in all of our lands. My mother is special because unlike most wolves. She can control shadows and could even enter them to launch surprise attacks on other creatures who wants to claim our land.

I did not mind that other kids bully me because I knew that one day I would grow big and strong just like mother. One day, I was playing with the other pups when a menacing howl was heard on the direction of our territory. Mother’s howl then came next after the first menacing howl.

All of the pups were very scared except for me of course as I am brave and strong. I told the other pups to go into hiding and wait for one of adult to fetch us later as what always happens when invaders try to come to our territory. It would not take too long before everything settles down and we would be back to playing around again.

We waited for hours but no one came for us. I started becoming worried as this has never happened before. I am scared. Mother, why are you not coming for us? No I must not think like this. It might just have been a long battle and they are recuperating then they would start looking for us.

A few minutes later we started to see a silhouette. It was one of the aids of mother. We were so excited to see him that all of us unconsciously ran towards him. When we were about to reach him, he suddenly dropped to the ground. I ran faster towards him to check if he was wounded but when I tried to nudge him he was no longer breathing.

I panicked and ran towards my mother because I wanted to see if she was alright. I ran as fast as my little legs could carry me but it seemed that the world move slow. I ran faster and encountered the rest of the adults in the pack. Some were grievously wounded while some lost limbs or tails.

It did not take long before I reached the middle of the battlefield where mother was still clashing with her enemy. It was a giant wolf that was twice the size of mother. He had black fur and red eyes. His fangs are so sharp that he could easily kill someone just through biting. He also had chains on his body as if his power was being bound by something.

In contrast, mother was a silver wolf with beautiful blue eyes. She was both powerful and elegant but her elegance could not be seen right now as she was covered in wounds as some of her fur was dyed red. I could see that mother was already exhausted fighting the giant wolf so I shouted to encourage her.

I think that was a grave mistake as the black wolf suddenly lunged towards me but mother used her powers and appeared behind me using my shadow. Time seemed to stop when mother used her body to shield me from the attack. I heard a wailing sound from mother who dropped just in front of me.

I nudged at mother checking if she was alright but she was losing the light in her eyes. I cried because I was the reason that mother lost the battle. She let of a last howl and I was suddenly shrouded in shadows. The shadows were pushing me in but I tried resisting.

I looked around and saw that the others were also getting wrapped in shadows. The black wolf’s eyes suddenly became fierce that I peed myself. Yet the only thing that my mother said before she lost the light in her eyes was, “I hope you grow up strong and healthy.” After mother said those words, the shadows transported me to someplace else.

When I opened my eyes, I was at an unfamiliar forest and the rest of the pack was nowhere to be found. I hope they are all alright despite us having our differences. A few seconds later, I heard rustling in the nearby bushes and an old female human appeared. She muttered, “Oh my! Is this perhaps fate?” as she picked me up and carried me to a nearby village.

It is not like I tried to protest but she was scary that all my fur stood up just from gazing at her. She handed me off to an old human male that seems to take care of a variety of other creatures. I did not really bother befriending other creatures as they would often get picked up by different humans.

For some reason, the creatures here seemed to become soulbounds by the humans that visit here. It seems that the old man seemed to be some kind of summoner or something from what I heard from one of his conversations.

Some tried to gain my affection but after an hour or two they would give up and choose another creature to befriend. It is not like I care. If you want the powerful me then you have to prove that you are worthy. That’s right! It’s not like I am jealous or anything that they do not want to take care of me.

I waited but it seems that all the people that visit here do not try hard to gain my affection. So I just spent my days and wait until I become older so that I could venture outside on my own. Then one day, a human boy that looked so excited visited the shop.

I thought to myself that he would probably get the others or something as no one would really choose me first anyway. I just laid on my bed and closed my eyes. A few seconds later, I could feel a presence near me. I looked up and it was the human boy that came in a few seconds ago. He was staring at me with sparkling eyes.

I did not care as they would grow tired after an hour or two to gain my affection so I humored the human boy. About two or three hours has passed but this human boy seemed to have endless energy as he did not grow tired from gaining my affection. I like this human boy but that does not mean that I would easily follow him.

He has to work for it as I do not want to be like the others that are too easy to recruit. I will wait a few more hours to see if this human is worthy….

This human really is passionate. He played with me and even tried talking to me for the whole day. It is not like I really like you or anything but you are worthy of me. When I finally opened my heart towards the human, I let him bond with me and agree to become his soulbound.

The human’s name was Equinox as that was what that old man called him when he gave him some refreshments. I quite like his name because it sounds powerful. He said some type of chant and a magic circle appeared below me. Strangely enough, I did not feel threat from it and let its power flow through my body.

I became a soul and fused with Equinox’s soul. I could feel that he and I have now become people with shared fates. One day when I am strong enough, I will avenge mother. I am sure my new master would not object to that as he will definitely listen to my plight. But for now, we would focus on getting stronger since what good is revenge if I am not strong enough to attain it.

When the contract was finally established, master decided to name me to act as a seal. He named me Sirius. Does my name not sound powerful to hear? I quite like it not because my master gave it to me. Master then summoned me from the depths of his soul and I responded. I appeared using a magic circle like the rest of the other creatures when they were called upon.

Master said his farewells to the old man while I told him, “thanks for everything” even though he probably could not understand me. We ventured out into shop and finally I could explore the outside. Master seemed to remember something as he told me to follow him and I did since even I am not familiar with this place.

Master went to some alley and encountered an old human female. She looked familiar. It then suddenly clicked as she was the one who took me from the forest. I put my guard up and started telling my master that she is bad news but he ignored it. He talked to the old human female and she seemed to give him something. I did not mind it as she seemed to not want to harm master. Master consoled me and then we went to the forest so that we could train.
