Chapter 92 - Inheritance

"I was looking for this!", Savina said proudly as she presented the object in question to me.

"A bracelet?", I asked incredulously.

Currently resting in the palm of her hands was a simple silver bracelet that had a single blue gem bedded into it, an aquamarine if I recall my lessons correctly. I initially thought it was a mundane bracelet, until I noticed the look on Savina's face.

"What"?

"Come on Sil-Sil, don't you have that Dragon's Eye thing? Try using that on this", she said while jingling the bracelet.

"You know it only works on majimonsters right? Not drajules?", I retorted.

"Fair enough", Savina said as she placed the bracelet on her wrist, "I suppose it's easier to show you then".

Savina slowly raised her arm and pointed the aquamarine bracelet's gem side towards me. The aquamarine gem suddenly began to glow a deep blue light as Savina was soon encased in similar colored light. Evidently, I was a little shocked by the sudden glow up and let out a small "eek" as I stepped back. My sudden shock gave way to clarity, and in that moment, I realised that the bracelet she found was a drajule with a sleeping monster inside it!

"Heed your lady's call, Triton", Savina said in a voice not quite hers.

With a wave of her hand, a blue and white summoning circle with distinctive [Water] and [Basic] markings composing it appeared out of thing air. On the outer edge of the circle were two bright silver lights that rotated around the circle, indicating that whatever was inside of it was a silver grade two star monster.

A deep roar echoed throughout the cave as a strange salty smell filled the air. The circle moved to the ground and began to ripple like water. A powerful looking arm covered in what appeared to be silver fish-like scales and adorned in shells, wielding a large three-pronged spear exited from the circle first and slammed the flat end of the spear deep into the ground. The stone floor became cracked from the initial slam, then began to grow more as the monster used the spear to lift itself from the circle. As it rose, my Dragon's Eye revealed to me nothing but a single name: [Shellvalier].

[Voxea, why isn't my eye working]?

[Oh no it's working, it's just that other than the name, I know nothing about this monster. How game], she replied in an amused and intrigued tone.

The summoning circle disappeared as the fully formed monster now stood before the two of us. The monster was an armored humanoid standing at six feet tall like the Cruelsader, but it looked very different and the aura it gave off was the complete opposite of the Cruelsader.

The monsters' armor reminded me of a crab shell, but interspersed with strange smooth shells with patterns I had never seen before.It had these strange pauldrons that were completely smooth and shiny,like the pearls I've seen some binders wear. Its helmet reminded me of a fish with its finned ears and plume reminiscent of its dorsal and tail. Combined with the strange three pronged spear and spiral shell shield, the Shellvalier gave off a more protective feeling than the Cruelsader.

The Shellvalier looked about the cavern, giving off a feeling of confusion. Eventually, its eyes settled on Savina.

The air became tense as my friend and the monster stared at each other, out of concern I kept my hand on Rakka's drajule.

Suddenly, the Shellvalier dropped to one knee and bowed its head towards Savina like an Imperial Knight. In response, a strange smile appeared on Savina's face as she lifted its chin with her bracelet wielding hand.

"Hello old friend", Savina said with that strange voice of hers, "I'm sorry I can't journey with you anymore, but can you do me one last favor and keep watch over her as you did for me"?

The Shellvalier looked hesitant at the request but eventually nodded.

"Good. I'm counting on you Triton. Keep her safe", Savina said as she moved her hand from lifting its chin to patting its head.

After a few seconds of patting, the Shellvalier turned into a shower of blue aether and flowed back into the drajule embedded bracelet. At the same time, the blue glow surrounding Savina faded.

"Well then, shall we go now?", Savina asked in her normal voice as she walked towards the cave entrance.

I had a lot of questions for my friend, but I could ask them once we were outside.
