Chapter 5

All Summoners are born extremely powerful, however as Children this can cause a lot of issues, so the Council of Summoners implemented a system that ensures that the powers belonging to the Bloodlines of the Summoners are shackled at birth. This is called the Bloodline Shackles, usually these are to be removed by the Council of Summoners when the Summoner in question reaches the age of Awakening.

The Bloodline Shackles shackle half of the power of the Summoner and when they Awaken, the Shackles are removed by the Council of Summoners, granting them full access to their powers. However, the Summoner still has his Bloodline Shackles in place, meaning he only has access to half of his powers. This limits him in his Transformations as well as his growth of Soul Strength.

You can tell the Bloodline Shackles are still present when you look at the Summoner, he has the blood red Shackling Runes present on his body, meaning that he is already straining against the shackles.

His baseline and Transformation appearances are also being shackled, so his full Summoner characteristics are not being displayed. You can see this as there is no Summoner's Mark between the eyebrows of the Summoner and his form is too small"

At this point Loquentium paused to listen to whatever he was being told by his fellow Council members, "So you know more about the Councils, we will explain the history of the Summoners to you.

This realm or universe was created 6000 years ago, after creation it was assigned to the Council of Summoners who implanted the planes of the 9 Summoned Races into it.

The Summoned Races are the Light Races, the variant Holy Races, the Dark Races, the variant Demonic Races, the Elemental Races, the Meister Races, the Natural Races, the Spirit Races and the Beast Races.

The Council of Summoners then created 7 Bloodlines in the human population, each Bloodline corresponding to the Summoned Races with the Light and Dark Bloodlines having the possibility of bringing forth a variant. This created the Light Summoner, the Holy Summoner, the Dark Summoner, the Demonic Summoner, the Elemental Summoner, the Summoner of Meisters, the Natural Summoner, the Spirit Summoner and the Nova Summoner respectively.

These Summoners were created for one purpose and one purpose only, to protect the universe from external threats. They do not take orders from the governing bodies of the universe, they only follow the orders of the Council of Summoners" at this point Loquentium paused and looked around.

The other people in the room, including the Moore Family, were looking at him with amazement showing on their faces.

"If the Demonic Summoners are one of the rarest Summoners in existence, why did you have Dark deceive us?" the President asked incredulously.

"We will be getting to that point in a bit, but we will not go into much detail at this time, please do not take offence. We are currently not allowed to tell you everything, not unless we receive express permission from the Council of Summoners themselves" Loquentium replied.

He drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat and to give everybody the time to digest the information he had just divulged.

"5000 years ago, the Summoner Bloodlines started experiencing issues with fertility, accidental deaths and members being murdered. This started to decrease the amount of Summoners they produced.

4500 years ago, the virus that wiped out the female genome was released by the Zerg, which caused the amount of Summoners to decrease further. This decline continued gradually until 3000 years ago, there was only the Tenebris Bloodline still producing Summoners. They only produced 1 Summoner every millennium or so.

Then the attack happened 100 years ago, this attack wiped out the remnants of all Bloodlines, save the Tenebris Bloodline existing in the Moore Family. It also caused the deaths of countless innocent bystanders.

There is a power in the background that is trying their best to wipe out all of the Summoner Bloodlines completely, as well as corrupt all information on Summoners. Unfortunately for them, the Tenebris Bloodline is extremely hard to wipe out." Loquentium paused yet again and gave everyone in the room a solemn look to express the magnitude of this information.

"Wait, are you telling us that the attack from 100 years ago is related to the Summoners?" Marshal Moore yelled, his face showing the heartache he was feeling.

Loquentium nodded, lips pursed, "Your Mate was killed because he was a carrier of the Tenebris Bloodline. Your sons were also targeted because they carry the Tenebris Bloodline"

Marshal Moore slumped in his chair, looking haggard. The rest of the Moore Family looked solemn and Dark hung his head to hide his twisted features which showed nothing but absolute hatred and anger.

"Do not feel distressed about this information, we will all be able to get revenge in the near future and this is the reason why we asked the Summoner to bring you all here today" Loquentium said in a somewhat comforting and soothing tone.

Everyone, including Dark, looked at him in confusion.

"The Summoner is currently straining against the Bloodline Shackles, this is resulting in him becoming increasingly more irritable and violent. What is needed at this time is to Summon the Council of Summoners so that they might remove the Bloodline Shackles, freeing the Summoner and allowing him to gain access to all of his powers. We can do this in secret and clean up all the small fry that are present in this universe and once this has been completed, we can Summon the Council of Summoners again, publicly this time, for them to wipe out the hands behind the scenes and reinstate all of the Summoner Bloodlines and the Summoner Hall"

Dark showed an extremely demonic smile on his face, "As expected of a plan thought up by the Demonic Council. It is truly devious and lethal"

The others thought about the plan brought forth by the Council and all of them agreed that it was worth a shot.

"Okay, we agree to this plan. What is needed to Summon the Council of Summoners?" the President asked.

"Normally the Summoner is able to Summon them when he reaches 8000 points of Soul Strength, but in cases like this there are other methods. The method which we will be utilising today, is all of us Chanting together, this will be enough to Summon the Council of Summoners" Loquentium replied.

"How can you be sure?" Brain asked.

"Because the Demonic Council will be Chanting as well and once the Council of Summoners hears our voices and feels our energy, they will come here as they rarely hear from us. The last time a Demonic Summoner appeared was at the beginning of this universe" Loquentium answered patiently.

"How long will this Ceremony take in total?" Mad Scientist asked.

"No more than 2 hours, may I ask why you are asking this?" Loquentium replied.

"We have agreed to hold a lecture on Angel at 2000 hours for the rest of the Students of the Academy" Mad Scientist replied.

"Seeing as it is currently 1130, the Ceremony should be completed by 1400 hours at the latest" Loquentium analysed.

"Before we start the Ceremony, I think it might be best for us to tell Angel something bad first, while we can still restrain him from flipping out" Bazooka said.

"No worries, you can do this after we have Summoned the Council of Summoners. They will be able to completely restrain the Summoner whether or not he has his Bloodline Shackles removed" Loquentium responded lightly.

Bazooka nodded, while Dark looked at him with questions written all over his face.

"You will find out when it's time" Bazooka said gently to Dark.

"Summoner, please distribute the Chant to everyone present. Please practice the Chant in silence after the Summoner has shown you how to Chant once, Summoner please do this Telepathically" Loquentium said.

Dark complied. After everyone practised for about 5 minutes, Loquentium signalled that they were going to commence the Ceremony. Everyone gathered in a circle and started Chanting.

Old English version for those wanting to know what it means :

Thy humble servant who honours thy life

On min life Ic swear

That Ic invite the Lord of Summoners

To min plane to remove min Shackles

Ic invite thee to descend and hear min plea

After the last Chant fell, a light appeared in the centre of the circle of people and started expanding. The light became so bright, no one could look at it directly and everyone shielded their eyes from the glare.

Once the glare receded, everyone looked towards the centre of the circle, only to see that 21 people were standing there in a circle facing outwards, looking back at the people present. Suddenly the Demons were noticed as well as Dark, the faces of the new people changed from suspicion to delight and they started making cheering movements and grinning.

"Finally, the strongest of all Summoners has been born once more" a strong voice boomed, making everyone feel that they were about to fall apart from the pressure caused by the voice, "Sorry about that, we got slightly excited and forgot that our voice is too powerful for your bodies" the voice sounded again, at a lower pitch which was less invasive and painful.

The Demons and Dark came forward and knelt down on one knee, shouting "We welcome the Council of Summoners and the Lord of Summoners", the others did the same afterwards.

"Thank you for your welcome and we are pleased to be able to see a Demonic Summoner and the Demonic Council again. You have Summoned us to release the Demonic Summoner from his Bloodline Shackles, why have you waited until after he has Awakened to do so?" the voice spoke again.

"We thank the Lord of Summoners and Council of Summoners for granting our request to release the Demonic Summoners Bloodline Shackles and we apologise for doing this after he Awakened, but we had no choice. We first had to determine if the ones around him were trustworthy.

The hands behind the scenes have wiped out all but the Tenebris Bloodline in this universe and they have multiple small fry assisting them. But after determining that the ones around the Demonic Summoner are completely trustworthy, we are now preparing our counter attack" Loquentium replied.

"As expected of the Demonic Council, cautious and vicious in all that they do" the voice approved in pleasure, "We will gladly assist in your counter attack, just Summon us using the Plea when you are ready to end it all"

"Of course, Lord and Council of Summoners" Loquentium replied.

"Demonic Summoner, please step forth so that we may examine you before we release your Shackles" the voice spoke again. Dark stood up and walked before the 21 beings and allowed them to look closely at him.

"The one called Brain, please step forth and accept the Demonic Summoners Soul Stone" the voice spoke at which Brain stepped forward and received a blackish red stone the size of his palm, "Keep this on you at all times, it will assist you in detecting and confirming the Demonic Guardian" the voice spoke again.

"I thank the Lord and Council of the Summoners for their precious gift" Brain spoke, following the way Loquentium had spoken, and stepped back to his original position.

"Demonic Summoner, you are quite strong to already be straining against your Shackles at the age of 18. We will release your Shackles so that you may freely use all of your power" the voice spoke to Dark.

"Lord and Council of Summoners, pardon my interruption, but would it be possible to restrain the Demonic Summoner after you have released him? The reason being is that the Kin of the Demonic Summoner needs to give him a piece of information that they fear will make him violent" Loquentium spoke quickly.

"Of course, this is not a problem" the voice replied to Loquentium, "We will now commence the release of the Shackles. Everybody except the Demonic Summoner is to step back for their own safety. This Ceremony is unfortunately not painless, so we expect the Summoner to respond violently"
