Chapter 7 - 'Summoner' and Elemental spirits

"Ajax, since you can sense elements of nature fully, then it's about time for you to learn about Summoning," Elder Boron said slowly.

"Summoning?" Ajax was confused when he said that word.

"Yes," Elder Boron replied with a sigh, looking straight into the eyes of Ajax.

And he continued explaining, "Summoning is an ancient art which helps an individual to summon the spiritual beings called 'Elemental Spirits' from the Spirit world and the individual who can summon these elemental spirits are called 'Summoners.' " 

Saying until there, Elder Boron stopped talking for a moment to allow Ajax to remember what he had said just now.

"With the help of Summoning, one can summon these so-called elemental spirits, but what are they? "Ajax asked with his interest piqued.

Ajax was always interested in learning new things, so when he heard about what Elder Boron said, it piqued his interest.

Seeing curiosity on Ajax face, Elder Boron felt satisfied, "As I said earlier, Elemental spirits are the spiritual beings, that are born in the spirit world where a certain type of energy is concentrated for millions of years," taking a short break Elder Boron continued as,

"A cultivator will enter the elemental spirit world when he is 15 years old, and he can convince the elemental spirit to form a contract with him.

  Once the contract is formed, the summoned elemental spirit always follows the summoner as his servant. And one more thing for you to know is if an elemental spirit dies, a backlash will occur on the summoner's spirit consciousness. However, if the summoner dies, then the elemental spirit also dies".

After ingesting all the words said by Elder Boron, Ajax questioned him, "Isn't it disadvantageous for an elemental spirit?".

"Hahaha... "Elder Boron lightly chuckled as he replied, "Although it's disadvantageous for elemental spirits, the only way for them to get strong is to form a contract with the summoner, which in turn provides them pure essence of energy to the elemental spirits. This pure essence of energy helps the elemental spirits to improve their cultivation and become strong. Now you say, isn't it fair for elemental spirits to become stronger than to remain at the bottom of the food chain".

Nodding his head, Ajax agreed with Elder Boron.

"Then Elder, how is it related to me sensing the elements of essence of nature? Is it essential to sense the elements to summon? And, how can one become a summoner? " Ajax asked a bunch of questions to Elder Boron.

'Like father like son, both are fast learners and ask many questions,' Elder Boron silently thought to himself in his mind as he answered.

"Hey brat, that's what I am going to say next. Summoning requires a minimum age of 15. The next important factor is your Spirit consciousness. If you can store enough essence of nature in your spirit consciousness, then you will have a dream specific to your element of the essence of nature stored in your spirit consciousness. If you can successfully convince the elemental spirit and form a contract with it, then you can successfully summon that elemental spirit ", Elder Boron explained about summoning patiently.

"Elder, you said one could only summon the elemental spirit after successfully convincing the elemental spirit, but earlier, you also said elemental spirits only hope to become stronger through this. Then will they decline to form a contract?" Ajax found something wrong with the logic, so he asked Elder Boron about it.

"Although they hope to become stronger, they only form a contract with the person whom they trust or who is formidable," the Elder replied calmly.

"What will happen to the person who cannot convince the spirit," Ajax asked the next question without any delay.

"Nothing but the stored essence of nature in his spirit consciousness will be depleted, and it will take some time before he can have another awakening dream. Without elemental spirit, there is nothing a summoner can do...." Elder Boron silently did some signs with his fingers as he explained to Ajax about his question.

Soon a shadow came out of Elder Boron's shadow and stood in front of Ajax.
