Elemental Summoner 1 D. Levesque (beach read .txt) 📖

Fire? I mean, Lahana says she can cauterize a wound with it, but that’s not healing. What can you do with Water? Air. Or even Mind? How the fuck would Earth even get involved in healing if it’s all about plants and dirt? The last thing you want in an open wound is dirt.

I bring up my right hand and think Fire. When the Elemental is in my hand, I tell it to tone down its flame and not be so bright. I don’t want to wake Leeha.

I hold the Fire Elemental up to my face and say quietly in English, “Man, I wish you could talk,” with a sigh.

The Elemental is in its man-shape again. I have noticed I don’t need to ask it to transform anymore. I look at it and it points to its head and then points at me. I stare at it oddly and try to figure out what the fuck it is asking. I knew it! These things are more than just tools for magic; they can understand us!

“You understand me?” I whisper to it excitedly.

It nods to me, and again, it points to its head and then to me. What is it asking? Its head and me? No, wait, its head and my head? I bring my face closer until I am almost touching it. It reaches out and touches my forehead.

Suddenly I feel intense pain and heat in my head, but before I can react, the pain goes away.

You have connected with your Fire Elemental.

“I am sorry about the pain,” says a voice in my head. It sounds female and I almost hear a crackling in the background, like there’s a fire raging.

“Huh?” I say out loud.

“We can converse mind to mind. You do not need to speak out loud,” it says, looking down at Leeha. “So we do not wake her.”

“How?” I whisper.

“Just think of your words, as if you are talking to me,” says the female voice.

“Hello?” I say tentatively, using a pathway that ‘til now I didn’t know existed. Holy fuck, this is so cool! When I spoke, I could actually tell that my inner voice was going somewhere. I also realize she is speaking back to me in English!

“Hello,” she says again, waving to me from my palm.

“Fucking hell, who are you?” I ask her, stunned.

“I am your Fire Elemental,” she says, giggling, and even putting up a hand to her fiery face.

“Do you have a name?” I ask her.

“Fire Elemental,” she asks me, confused.

“That’s it?” I ask her with a raised eyebrow. “Fire Elemental? So are you the same Fire Elemental as Leeha’s mom has?” I ask, pointing across the room.

The Fire Elemental looks over that way and shakes her head. “No. Different. Also, Fire Elemental,” she says, after turning back to me.

“So if you are different, shouldn’t you have a different name?” I ask her.

“Never had a name. I am new. Different, than hers,” she says, pointing back across the room at Lahana.

“Different? How? You said that twice now. And how come you look like a male, but your voice is female?” I ask her, disoriented at hearing a female voice come from a male body.

Suddenly she transforms into a female-shaped body. “Because when I was created, you had the shape of a male in your mind,” she tells me. “As for being different. I feel stronger than the one in her,” again pointing to Lahana. “My power is somehow more primal?” she says, but that last part comes out sounding confused and unsure.

“Can her Fire Elemental also speak?” I ask her.

“Yes. Though she does not understand the language we are speaking, so communication would be impossible,” she says, nodding.

“But wait. I am speaking to you in English. How are you able to understand English?” I ask her.

She cocks her head sideways at me and says, “I do not know what this English is, but I am speaking the language of magic.”

Holy fucking hell! I was right! English is a magical language. But how did it get on Earth? Man, I would kill for a wiki with answers right now.

“So, primal how?” I ask her, remembering something else she said.

“I am not sure,” she says, shrugging her tiny fiery shoulders.

“We need to give you a name,” I say out loud. Leeha stirs but doesn’t wake up. “Oops. Not used to talking in my head,” I tell her sheepishly.

“What name do you wish to give me?” she asks me.

“I,” but then I pause, trying to think of names. I was about to say I have no clue. But I am sure I can come up with something that is related to fire. Then it hits me, and I grin down at her.

“What?” she says nervously.

“Bridget,” I tell her.

“Bridget?” she says hesitantly.

I nod to her with a smile on my face. “On my world, there was a Goddess of Fire named Bridget. I think she was either Irish or Scottish. I can’t remember. It was in a book I was reading before I got transported here. I never finished the book.”

Congratulations. You have named your Fire Elemental, Bridget.

Congratulations. Achievement! Naming something for no reason!

Point taken. Don’t piss off my God. Though, thanks for that.

I look down at my Fire Elemental Bridget, who is looking up at me patiently. “Sorry, I was getting things from my God.”

“I know,” she says casually.

“What?” I say to her
