-------------------------- In the city near the Village --------------------------------------
A big crowded city is present near the thick forest. People came here on adventures and some villagers near the towns of this city for work and settled here, which resulted in this population of this city.
A man is standing in a formal black coat on the balcony of a big house in the middle of this city.
"Thup Thup Thup Thup"
Thumping of many footsteps on the floor. 2 guards with muscular body came inside
"Sir, Michael wants to meet you".
"Let him in". After hearing this the guards walked outside of the room.
A middle aged man with a small beard wearing a formal black dress with checks and medals came inside.
"Sir Vashon, a new message came from the Raser Bandits group."
"Read it". Vashon said in a very hoarse voice with no expression on his face while looking outside the balcony.
"Sir Vas the villagers ran from the land. We have done as you said, so now the next transition will be done in the same place where you came before for the deal." he was stopped by his master.
Vashon raised his right hand while continuously looking outside and then he said.
"OK, prepare for the trip Michael".
Michael's face was full of doubts and he was continuously looking in the direction of Viscount Vashon.
He was not able to control at last and asked to Vashon,
"Sir, King supports those villagers, we will be in great trouble if it is investigated by the royal guards".
Viscount Vashon looked back towards the Michael with his sharp eyes and said,
"Michael, your family and our family are in a close relationship. You also used your body to shield me on many battlefields, also your father is my uncle so I trust you with this. ...I am going to support the Paron Kingdom in this war. But that village is in the middle of the border, so it was necessary to eliminate them. But as the king is supporting them I have used those Bandit groups for the work."
"Sir it will be ..."
"I know what you want to say. We will become traitors. Michael you know from where we came here. It was Paron kingdom my grand grand father was arrested and also your's. After war ended we were to be released but that time the king of Dardrel asked to take our lands so my grand grand father begged to that King Lanon and he agreed with the condition of surveying the kingdom. He wants to control our family as we have a natural affinity for magic. My grandfather was a prisoner of war, he had no say in the agreement even if he wanted to.
Paron was already in a bad position because of 'beast war' and after that defeat in a border fight so it was not able to help us in any way. But now Paron is powerful and a war is going to break between the two kingdoms again. If Paron won, King of Paron agreed to give us 20% of Dardaral kingdom taxes in future."
"Sir you know your grandfather, father and you all are treated as a part of this kingdom Dardaral also we have equal rights …. " Michael was stopped by the threatening look of Vashon
"We are not part of this kingdom. Tell me Michael are you with me in this or not. I am not going to force you even if you not want to support me ... "
"Sir Vashon, your family is the only one we serve. Even if you want to kill me here, I will not say a word. I just want to tell you that Paron is always the one which wants war. Also there are bad rumors about the new king of Paron. Do you consider this before making this decision?"
"Don't worry Michael I have planned all the things, you just follow my lead and I will entrust you that there will be no harm come to us. Go prepare".
Michael bowed and then walked outside of the room.
Vashon again moved to the balcony and lifted a glass of wine from the table on the balcony. He was looking deep in thought after Michael left the room.

--------------------------------- In the forest at night ------------------------------------
San was just able to control himself from the sorrow of losing his father. He was not speaking a word the whole trip. Old chief was very upset but when he saw the expression on the San's face he also controlled his emotions and said with a polite tone like he was requesting someone.
"Do you not want to punish those bandits child, then first prepare yourself." Old chief was very determined about punishing the bandits, and the expression on his face became angry.
"I will become powerful," San said while looking at the floor with angry eyes.
"Listen San, a powerful summon is the first thing a summoner needs for becoming powerful. The chances for higher order summons are very less.
But Tomorrow is the celebration of Summoners Day. You know at this day of the year our ancestor Salus summoned the legendary beast of fire 'Karhath Sapire(Flying big snake)' which evolved into 'sky lord snake' after a year of his journey in these forests. I will prepare an altar for your tomorrow's summon. It is experienced by many that they was able to summon there best at this day of year. Even if you not get a 3 star summon it will be a 2 star definitely so not take stress in your mind about anything and summon with the desire you have in your mind."
"I am ok grandpa cheif" he said with a slow voice

-------------------------- In the day -----------------------------------------
Some youngsters and an adult looking boy are traveling in the woods with some beasts along there side. They stopped in the middle of there journey and looked up onto a mountain in front of them.
"WOOW!" one of the young boy said.
This area has many flowering trees having different colors of flowers. The grass looks lively with water droplets shining in the morning light. It's looking quite lively.
"We are near, Tras tell others in the back". Garun said after seeing the beautiful forest land.
…
Many voices of women, children and men can be heard deep inside the forest. All the villagers had slept here for the time being till the scout told them to move.
"pack the things fast we are near our destination" A young boy looking like 15 years of age said while running in the direction of these people.
"Tras do not run like that, you will slip on the mud." She was in the half of completing the sentence when the young boy slipped on the mud and collided with a nearby tent. A cat sized cute fat mouse shiny with red hairy fur jumped outside of the tent and started to collect flame on his body with changing its expression after seeing who interpreted his rest, like it was annoyed by the face of the boy on the floor. Then launched itself at full speed on the unlucky boy.
"NO, NO no no no 'Oo'" a village girl said with a worrying expression.
Due to impact Tras flipped two times and stopped on a tree. The flames burned on his clothes only like it was controlled.
Tras was trashed by the flames. All his clothes are burned in the red flames. Only half burnt underwear remained on his body.
"Blaze " A young boy with a green overcoat said while looking at the fallen tent. He was San, the old village chief was standing near.
The big rat came sprinting towards and jumped in his hands. Then this rat showed his cute face with big eyes and turned many times while rolling in San's hands. It was maintaining its cuteness while this.
Some villagers began to help Tras, who was unconscious on the ground.
"What happened Emera" San asked the same village girl, who was worried when things started here.
"Tras' clothes were again burned by Blaze".
"Blaze why you burned the clothes this time. You know he was left with only two clothes now with 12 burned under wears." which was only heard by the cute red rat.
(By telekinesis which is also the 2nd skill of this 1 star rat. They both communicate in their minds like this after this rat was summoned by him but he did not tell anyone about this. Only his father and old chief know that they can communicate but they also do not know that they actually talks through it.)
" San he was the one who woke me up from my good dreams. It's his fault this time too, not mine."
"Don't use flames,'' I told you before. I will make you eat a whole plate of old lady Carus food if you do it again".
"Nooo, I will never do it again I swear this time." After saying this he made a cute expression while looking at San, then he turned and looked in the direction of Tras with cold eyes and thought.
"If there was a Next Time, I will burn his underwear too."
"Ok, now prepare for building new houses as Tras said we are near the location. Let's eat food and discuss things and then make our new home." Old chief said with a warm expression and loud but polite formal tone.

-------------------------------------------- Next chapter Overview ---------------------------------------
"Grandpa chief I have some questions ..."
"First eat something come we will sit there". Old chief said while pointing to an open space between two trees.
Then the old chief walked in that open space while San followed him and they seated there on a mat.
"Let us start eating." Grandpa said after unpacking the wrapped food in some kind of big leaf.
...
In between eating San asked again
"Amm Ahu, grandpa chief, I want to ask something."
"what you want to ask."
