Yes, I like roman numerals. Yes, I am weird. No, I am not talking to myself.

Instantly, Winter raised his sword to block and was about to attack when he realized the unit was already attacking again from a different side. Amazed at its speed, Winter blocked a second attack, followed by a third. The unit jumped back.

"Haha! You've got some skill! Let's see you take this! I call it Thunder Expulsion!" the unit said. That can't be good, Winter thought. He rolled to the side as lightning struck the ground around where he was standing. He raised his sword again guessing that the unit would attack again with lightning speed. Fortunately, he was right as the unit's next attack sent Winter sprawling.

"A little help here?" he called to Tilith.

"Sorry, can't help. It's part of becoming a summoner." she said.

"Almost getting fried is part of becoming a summoner?"

"Well, no not fried. I mean if you summon an earth type unit-"

"That's not the point! Gah!" Winter yelled as the unit almost took his head off. Fine, if I have to do it myself, I will, he thought. Trying a new strategy, he dropped Revan and tackled the unit.

"Woah!" the unit said, clearly surprised, the he proceeded to try to put Winter in a headlock. But, back at the orphanage, the kids used to wrestle all the time so Winter was prepared. In a matter of moments, he had the unit pinned on the floor.

"Haha! I guess you win. I give up. Now can you get off me?"

"Why would I do that?"

"Well, it's part of becoming a summoner." Warily, Winter let the unit sit up. Then the unit kneeled at his feet.

"I, Warrior Eze, pledge myself to your services for as long as you shall live. Do you accept my services?" Eze asked.

"Ummm, yes. I do." Winter said uncertainly. Eze sat up.

"Well then we are done! You are now a summoner!" Eze picked up his sword and brushed off some dirt. Winter blinked.

"Wait. Is that really it?" Eze looked at him.

"Well, did you want to fight again? I can make it more exciting. More thunder and lightning." he said.

"No, no. I'm good. It's just, I thought there would be more ceremony and, uh, stuff." Winter said.

"No, that's all. You summoned a unit, and now he has pledged his services to you. Simple as that. Now, we need to go to town. There is someone you need to meet." Tilith said.

A few hours later....

"So who did you want me to meet?" Winter asked Tilith.

"Is he a unit?" Eze asked.

"No. He's a person. Here he is now! Karl, this is Winter. He's a new summoner!"
