As the carriage makes its way to Celestia academy the three siblings conversate with one another!
Charlotte looks up to her old sister with her summon Shay coiled around the neck head up against her cheek.
Charlotte asks her older sister about her summon Shay.
Big sister do you have trouble summoning before you summoned Shay?
Tara placed her right index finger just below her bottom lip in thought trying to remember when she was Charlotte's age.
Well yes a little bit but when I managed to summon her all the hard work I put into summoning her was worth it!
Cupping shay's head with her left hand and pressing her cheek to her head she looked down at Charlotte with a worm smile.
I promise you can do it. You will summon a partner too char!
Charlotte smiling at her big sister leaned her head on Tara's left shoulder and Shay slithered down and pressed her snout to Charlotte's nose.
Charlotte giggles at the luminescent and pated shay's head.
Thank you Shay!
Julian smiled at this scene and a thought came to him so he asked Charlotte about it.
Hey Char you have been practicing your something however what is it that you're thinking about when you go to summon?
Charlotte leans up right from Tara's shoulder and looks at her elder brother and thought of her response.
Well something that is strong enough to protect me and our family. I never really thought of it really.
Julian's smiled at her response and held up his right index finger.
Well just remember when you perform your summoning always have an idea exactly what it is your summing. You have to envision the creature that you're going to summon have an idea of what they look like.
Just remember if you're not able to summon anything I could take you out and we can find a creature that you can tame.
Tara nodded at her older brother's comment and added.
That's right Julian is able to summon and we summoners are very rare and the class you have for intermediate summoning today will help you.
But remember not everyone can summon but seeing as we do come from a prestigious summoning family on mother's side so we have a step up.
Julian nodded at that remembering that he was a little jealous that he couldn't summon but his mother pointed out that he was too much like his father and his father could not summon either.
Charlotte thought for a moment then asked her two older siblings.
Well I hope I can summon something Noble and strong and gallant. Do you think I can summon a dragon?
The two older siblings laughed at that and nodded there heads happily at there little sister they cherished so much.
Some time passed as they make there way to the academy once they reach the gates their carriage stopped and the carriage driver opens the door of the carriage with a bow!
My lord and lady's we have made it to the academy I wish you three a good day.
As the three siblings make it off the carriage thanking the driver and telling him they will see him at the end of the day.
As a three siblings walk up to the academy Julian turns around and takes a knee in front of Charlotte placing both hands on each side of her shoulders.
I will see you later ok my dear baby sister. If you need me call Vargas and he will come to you and inform me. As the hawk wyvern screeches it's reply and bowed its head to Charlotte.
Though she finds the hawkwyvern noisy she knows that the it is very kind and look out for her all the time. Charlotte nods in response to Julian.
Ok big brother.
Julian wraps Charlotte up in a hug and places a kiss on the top of her head is he stands back up and looks to Tara.
Well dear little sister I will you later as well. Just let Vargas know if I'm needed.
Tara smiles at her older brother and nods her head.
Older brother you're being way too protective but I'll make sure to let Vargas know if we need you.
Julian nods with a smile waving his hands in both of his little sisters and heads off to his first class.
After Julian leaves Tara looks at Charlotte and cups her face looking into her beautiful blue eyes.
I will see you at your second class ok.
Charlotte nods her head with a smile.
Tara leans down kissing Charlotte's forehead and adds to what she said.
And make some friends ok. I know your shy but there are lots of people here and it'd be nice for you to make some friends your age.
Charlotte nods shiley poking her to index fingers together and responds to Tara.
I will try big sister but I'm nervous a little bit.
Tara giggles paying Charlotte's hand!
Your 12 now Char you need friends that can help you throw the academy. Just be your self and everyone will love you.
Charlotte nods and hugs Tara as Tara leaves for her class.
Now that Charlotte is alone she takes a deep breath and slaps her cheeks and pumps her self up!
Ok Charlotte you got this just be brave!
As Charlotte enters the academy she sees the court yard and the beautiful flowers adorning the edges of the wide open space.
In the center of the courtyard there is a statue sat with red and blue flowers surrounding it.
Charlotte sees that it's the founder of the academy. As she got closer to the statue she sees words written in silver and gold.
Charlotte Stars reading the scripted written below the statue.
For all those who change life and all it's ups and down you will find that there are failures in life and that there are no right answers. Don't allow failure to role you but to inspire you to succeed.
For those who desire a second chance will be granted a second chance. Lazion Felt.
Charlotte not sure what the text ment hears foot steps come up behind her and stand to her right side.
As she looked to her right she looks up to a old man with a long white beard and a gentle smile. The man looked at Charlotte and spoke.
Hello there miss Nighthawk I see you have found our founders words interesting.
Shiley Charlotte looks down poking her to index fingers together nodding her head.
As she asks the man the question on her mind.
Um well I don't understand it's written strangely and doesn't make that much sense why is it written that way?
The man chuckles at her and his smiles wides a little more.
Well my dear Lazion was a very unique man to say the least. Basically he is saying to keep going and try and try again failure is not a bad thing but a way to learn. Second chances could always be given if you desire it enough.
Charlotte then looks at the statue and then back to the man and nods with some confusion.
I think I understand.
But can I ask who you are sir.
The old man chuckles again and nods his head.
Yes dear I am the head master of this academy Arthur Ratigan.
Charlotte eyes go wide in realization and starts to stutter her apology.
O master Arthur I'm so sorry for not recognizing you.
As she bows her head and fright and embarrassment!
Arthur smiles and shakes his head placing his left hand on her right shoulder and responds.
No no don't worry about it dear. To tell the truth I'm happy didn't react like your mother did when she was your age.
As Arthur reminisces on that time when Heather attacked him thinking he was a trespasser on the academy grounds.
Charlotte hearing this story thinks about that and giggles with Arthur knowing that sounds like her mother.
At that moment Charlotte asks Arthur if he can help her find her first class.
As he guide Charlotte he then thinks about a question that he was cares about.
Miss Nighthawk tell me have been able to summon a familiar yet?
Charlotte looks down shaking her head no with some sadness in her eyes.
Arthur seeing that this is something he was expecting smiles and pated her head like a doting grandfather.
Don't be sad my dear when the time comes you will succeed and the familiar you will summon will be grand. Don't lose hope.
Charlotte nods and gives out a response.
Yes sir.
As they make it to her first class Arthur give her a wave goodbye and starts walking away thinking to himself.
Well the girl has so much magic I wonder why she hasn't been able to summon anything up to this point?
As time went by Charlotte found herself finding it hard to conversate with the other children her shyness preventing her from making conversation.
And she finds herself heading to her next class which is outside of all things she finally runs into her elder sister who's walking to the same class.
Tara holding out her hand for Charlotte seeing that her sister is very nervous and is trying to not show it.
As they make it to the next class Charlotte see a beautiful petite woman with Long white braided hair a large purple pointed hat and purple robes wearing a black tunic top and a black frilly skirt. In her left hand she has a long staff that is curled at the top and in the center of where the staff curves is a deep red ruby placed in the center of the spiral.
Tara smiles at the woman and waves to her!
Professor Elaine it's nice to see you today.
Professor Elaine looks up at Tara and Charlotte with a warm smile on her face waving at the two of them.
Hello Tara dear and this must be your little sister Charlotte. Well you two made it here right on time you two are the last to arrive.
Charlotte looks around and sees 6 other students then looked back at the professor.
Is this the whole class professor?
Asking shiley slightly hiding behind Tara.
Professor Celestia smiles warmly and walks up to Charlotte and bent at the waist placing her right hand on Charlotte's head giving it a light pat!
Yes dear to be honest this is actually a large class and I very happy we have so many children that can be summoners.
We are rare and not many can do this so this class is usually much smaller.
Charlotte was surprised at that and looks around again as the 6 students looking at the professor just as surprised as her at her words.
Professor Elaine claps her hands and getting everyone's attention. Well before we get started does everyone know the words of summoning?
Along with Charlotte 3 others raise there hands as the professor claps happily!
Well for those of you who don't we will go over it and then we will summon your partners you will for a contract with. After that we will work on the connections you will form with your summoned partners.
You must know that most summoners can have multiple partners and will be able to summon them to your side at will when they aren't around at that time.
The professor turns to Tara and asks.
If I'm not mistaken Tara dear you are ready to summon your second summoned partner today?
Tara smiles nodding her head in confirmation.
Professor Elaine waves her left hand beckoning Tara to her.
Ok Tara dear let show they little one who it's done!
Tara answers and confirmation and looks around to the rest of the class her eyes landing on Charlotte.
With a wink to Charlotte and she pulls out a wand from a hidden Pocket in her uniform jacket.
Tara closes her eyes and focuses on the magic within. With a deep breath she starts her chant.
O come forth O one that is within the veil.
Come forth and help me in my endeavors.
Come follow me on my path that I will tread.
I summon thee come forth!
Where the a bright of blue and yellow light a sound light purring growl can be heard.
As the light dies down and everyone can finally see everyone's eyes go wide!
In front of everyone is a large tiger with beautiful white fur with light blue stripes and eyes of silver.
Tara smiles and walks towards the tiger holding out her right hand.
Come with me on the path I will walk my friend.
The tiger looks around and the looks at Tara and slowly walks to her placing its head on Tara's hand with a happy purr. As a rune forms on its head.
Tara let's out a relieved breath and smiles hugging the tiger's head to her chest. I name you valor!
Professor Elaine claps happily and turns to the class.
You see my sweets that's how's it done. Over time you will do this. Now who wants to summon there first partner?
Charlotte being the only one who didn't raise her hand walks over to her sister.
Big sister he is a handsome boy.
Tara smiles at Charlotte with a nod and turns to valor.
Valor this is Charlotte my baby sister be good to her ok.
Valor growls a confirmation and lumber's over nuzzling the side of charlottes face.
Charlotte with a bright smile giggles and hugs Valor tightly!
As time went by all the other children managed to summon a partner and happy squeals coming from professor Elaine.
On my goodness all of you and there's just something the first time I'm very happy for all of you.
Tara looks at her sister and nudges her forward.
Your turn Char.
Professor Elaine turns to Charlotte and smiles waving her over.
Ok dear your the last one up.
Charlotte takes a deep breath and walks next to professor pulling out the wander mother bought for her. With a deep shaky breath she closes her eyes. She pictures exactly what it is she wants to summon. At that moment she pictures her father. Then she begins her chant.
O come forth one beyond the veil.
O come and company in all my endeavors.
Come and walk my with me on my path.
So please come to me!
No flashes of light happened and for a second nothing happened and the a portal formed and grew into a doorway.
Everyone was silent no one can speak any words.
Professor Elaine and Tara eyes go wide.
All the other students Rush behind the professor and Tara in fear!
The light in the doorway rippled as a silhouette forms in the light.
Charlotte heart starts racing and she walks forward and stops a few feet in front of the doorway.
The rattled gear can be heard as a silhouette grows closer the figures form growing taller and taller. As a man steps out of the doorway.
Charlotte's never seen anybody in such clothing. The man himself had bright green eyes short brown hair when he took off round black hat. The man stood at the height of 6 ft 1 in with a muscular body. Charlotte also noticed a faint scar just below the left eye just above the upper part of his cheek.
Charlotte can see the look in the man's eyes that she has only seen by knights that have seen lots of combat.
The man looked at the girl and walked closer to her moving the strange staff that was attached to his chest and clipping it to his back. Has he got a few steps away from her he moved to take a knee right in front of her.
Man gave a small smile and held out his right hand and spoke.
Well hello there sweetheart I'm guessing you are the one who summoned me.
Charlotte nodded in a very small voice replied back.
Ye.ye.ye. yes sir I'm sorry.
Charlotte starting to tear up a little and nervousness and fear.
The man smiled at her and pated her head.
The man chuckled and spoke.
Don't be afraid little one I'm here to help you in all of your endeavors no matter what they might be.
My name is Victor. Victor James Thomas and I am your summoned partner.
May I know your name kiddo?
Charlotte felt a warm feeling coming from the man and looked up into his eyes.
Wiping away the tears and hers she puts on a shy smile calming down from the earlier bad feeling she had.
My name is Charlotte Valencia Nighthawk second daughter of Brutus Van knighthawk and Heather Sherean knighthawk.
She reached out her right hand grabbing the man's hand and placing it back on her head with a small smile and a tinge of red on her face.
Victor chuckled and start rubbing her hair.
It's nice to meet you Charlotte I guess with this we can consider our contract accepted.
A light shown on his left wrist as a tattoo appeared and Charlotte's name appearing within the tattooed bracelet.
