45 Blasted Satyrs! (1/2)
Jericho returned to where he, Princess, and Ken were practicing with his mini army of lesser wood elementals. ”Princess!” He called out. ”I have some new friends for you to meet.”
The girl turned around. ”Wah! How cute!” She smiled brightly at the humanoid/plant shaped elementals. She crouched down and held out her hand.
Narzisse looked up at Jericho. {She doesn't speak our language does she?}
The bard shook his head at the daffodil. {No but I can translate for you.}
The flower nodded before changing its appearance to an aged dandelion. It plucked a seed and then changed back. It held the seed out to Princess. {Tell her to take this seed.}
Before Jericho could translate, Princess already picked up the seed. ”For me? How kind of you.”
{How did she know if she doesn't speak our language?} Narzisse asked.
Jericho chuckled. {She is a dancer who pays close attention to posture, movements and other such things. Lifting the seed in her direction was basically using your body to tell her to take it or to look at it.}
{Oh. I see.} The lesser wood elemental focused.
The seed in the dancer's hand burrowed into her skin.
[A wood elemental's seed has been ingrained into you. You can use the ability Speak with Spirits for 1 week.]
Princess's eyes lit up. {I can use Speak with Spirits now! Thank you so much. My name is Dancing Princess, what is yours?}
{You are welcome, I am Narzisse and these are my friends but you do know that the ability is only temporary right?}
{Yep! It is really nice to meet you Narzisse.}
{It is a pleasure to meet you as well. Bush can you come over here and explain why we have come so we don't have to beat around you?}
Princess laughed as an elemental shaped like a small shrub waddled forward.
Jericho face palmed. {You guys really like that joke don't you?}
{Would you prefer that we find a canine to bark up the wrong tree?} Bush inquired continuing the terrible and overused plant jokes.
{We are good. You wanted to talk to my sister about something though?} Jericho reminded.
Narzisse chuckled. {Feeling a little impatient are we? Fine then, Bush go ahead and make the request.}
{We have seen that you possess summoning magic and are a fun but tranquil person most of the time. We want to let you know you can summon us to dance with you whenever. We may not be good at it yet but it looks like a lot of fun.}
[You possess the skill Summon Background dancers. You can now summon lesser wood elementals to dance with you. Wood elementals will enhance any dance related to nature.]
The girl smiled. {I will gladly ask you to come and dance with me in the future!} She exclaimed.
Most of the lesser wood elementals departed whispering excitedly among themselves as they left in search of the other elf.
Narzisse walked closer to the girl. {I know how important the skill to Speak with Spirits is. You can summon me even if it isn't for dancing. I can help you regain that ability periodically.}
[You have gained the skill Summon Elemental 0/10 Beginner. You can call for a lesser elemental to join you at your side. This skill has a high failure rate because the elementals do not know you well enough to trust you. Due to your other skills, lesser water and lesser wood elementals will be slightly more willing to come to your aid for non-dancing purposes. You can specify the elemental you wish to summon by name. Current named elementals that will gladly come to your aid: Narzisse (lesser wood elemental).]
The girl held out her hand and gently stroked the stem of the flower shaped elemental.

The daffodil shook. {I will see you in the future. Just know that I am not suited for battle so please don't ask me to fight. I gave you this power because I want us to be friends and helpful to each other.}
{I understand.}
Narzisse left the mortals behind and joined her friends in search of Lillith.
Ken smirked and patted his friend on the back. ”That was interesting. I have never seen elementals give a summoning contract to someone who didn't instigate it.”
The girl smiled back at her friend. ”I don't really use summoning other than to have background dancers. But being able to communicate with them is useful. I don't really see much use for me to use the summon magic otherwise. I mean it is cool to be able to call for friends but I'm not a fighter.”
”That is true. But I think you will find a good use for it later.” Ken replied.
”Princess, my clone that is in town has noticed that the satyrs seem to be getting excited. Are you ready to teach them your dance?” Jericho inquired.
The young dancer nodded. ”Are you ready to start teaching them how to play the music?”
Jericho nodded. ”Just as soon as I can re-gather the last part of me,” he replied. ”Carn gave me a useful object that will make at least part of it easier to teach. One of my clones has been writing down the sheet music for the satyrs to use.”
”That is good. I look forward to hearing the full song.” The girl smiled.
Kenneth sighed. ”If you don't need us to help out right now, Lux and I will go back to hunting for a bit. The satyrs seem to be progressively thinking the two of us should be offered as tribute to their god. They seem to have found out that we are now spirit beasts and they have greed just like anything else. I would rather not be sacrificed and turned into a drum.” He grimaced thinking about the intention he had read in the satyrs' eyes yesterday and today.
Jericho nodded. ”Thank you for all your help. If we need more help we will message you.”
The pre-teen nodded. ”We'll be close by.” Ken and Lux dashed into the woods. Their figures quickly vanished from view.
”Shall we head to the stage they call an altar?” Princess asked.
