[b]Vilka

Shed Summoning.[/b]
---

The light returned to the small shed, revealing the one who had appeared in the middle of the summoning circle.

"I am she, the one who summoned you, and the one who will be your Master."

Who was this person she had summoned? Well, it was not like Vilka had any real training in magecraft after all, though she was familiar with a lot of legends and myths. She had a private library after all, and she would rather spend an evening in there than a moment outside with all those people.

"Then, I would say the contract is successful. Do pardon me while I clean up this mess, then we can announce ourselves to the Keeper of this War."

Upon removing the curtains from the windows, it became readily apparent there was two bodies stacked near the door, just beside a rather frightened looking maid. From the way the maid was acting, and from the blood trails splattered in the room, the summoning circle had been drawn with the deceased's blood. Vilka's clothes started to drip as she made her way towards the corpses; black globules of some unknown liquid pooling on the floor, creeping towards the corpses. She stepped on one of the corpses, as the black liquid engulfed the corpses, making cracking noises as it crushed the bones and started devouring the flesh.

"...now I am truly the master of this family... ."

[b]Lancer

Master's Apartment[/b]
---

The first sight after Lancer returned to the apartment was of her Master, looking rather worried holding what seemed to be some medical supplies. She gave a wry smile as she confirmed her suspicions.

Her Master wasn't really a trained mage.

She could expect no healing spells, or any sort of supportive magic to bolster her capabilities.

However, that doesn't mean Lancer could just give up, or that the situation was hopeless. It simply meant she was at a disadvantage, one that can be overcome with proper planning and execution of said plans. For now, accepting her Master's aid would be enough.

"Lancer! Are you hurt?" 

"Oh, as expected of my Master, nothing escapes your eye."

With a flourish, all her clothings and armor disappeared in a short burst of light. She didn't know how much help some bandages would be on her right now, considering she did take the brunt of the Plague Knight's swing.
