I looked at the motherly smile of my new summon. She radiated warmth and power in equal measure.
But I was completely confused.
Why was my opponent's summon bowing in front of her? What connection did they share? What history was I missing?
"Vaelis! What the heck are you doing?!"
Azrael's voice cut through the arena. He had moved a safe distance away from us, frustration dripping from every word.
"And who is this new woman? I don't care just finish them all!"
Vaelis rose from his bow. Despite his burned, broken body, he stood with unmistakable pride.
"This right here is Lady Aerin. The greatest summon of our greatest elven queen, Ishtar. The one who fought countless calamities in that ancient era. The sole reason our kingdom stands tall to this day."
He turned slightly toward Azrael.
