Elemental Summoner 1 by D. Levesque (best beach reads of all time TXT) 📕

change into a small water guy?” I ask it. I’m not sure how, but I get a feeling of yes, and the water globe turns into a small man-shaped water Elemental, with features and everything. It’s a tiny me. “Maybe not of me,” I tell it with a chuckle. It changes to look like Maxil, and again, I say, “No, use your own imagination.” Then it changes again, and it’s no one I know.

“See?” I say, holding it up. Maxil and Lahana are both looking at me in wonder. Turning to Leeha, I see the same expression on her face.

“How is that possible!” yells Leeha in surprise.

“I don’t know. No one ever thought of talking to their Elementals?” I ask around, and everyone is shaking their heads.

“What language was that you were speaking, Alex?” Lahana asks me. “It felt powerful and resonated somehow.”

“Ah, that would be English, the language from my world, or one of the languages. Like here, my world has many different languages.”

“Do you think it was your language that did that?” Leeha asks me, unsure.

“I don’t know. Why don’t you try it in your language? Call up your Water Elemental and ask it to change shape. I just asked mine to change into a man-shaped one. As you saw, it tried my features and then your father’s, but I told it to use its own imagination,” I say with a laugh.

Leeha looks uncertain as she looks at her parents. They just look right back at her, looking uncertain as well. Nodding as if coming to a decision, she holds her hand out, and suddenly there is a Water Elemental globe rotating slowly in her hand.

She takes a deep breath and says, “Change shape into a woman-shaped one.” But then she blurts out, “But don’t look like anyone here.”

The Water Elemental in her hand doesn’t do anything. Leeha looks at me with a pout and says, “Guess that didn’t work.”

“All right, try repeating after me word for word while focusing on your Water Elemental. Change shape into a woman-shaped one that does not look like anyone here,” I tell her, and she repeats all the words exactly as I say them, slowly.

Suddenly the ball in her hand distorts and then it changes into a female-shaped Water Elemental, just like the one in my hand had. Leeha is staring at it in wonder and awe. I look over and see both her parents staring at her with the same expression that she is giving the new Water Elemental.

“Did you want to try, Lahana?” I ask her with a smile.

“What?” she says, her eyes flicking to me from her daughter in surprise.

“Well, why not? We found out that she can do it. Why not you? Though I might have to teach you to remember the same phrase your daughter just said,” I say with a chuckle.

Lahana looks at her husband for guidance. He holds up his hands and says with a huge grin on his face, “Don’t look at me, because if you aren’t going to try, I will!”

Lahana sticks out her hand hesitantly, and suddenly there is a Fire Elemental sitting in her palm in its globe form. She clears her throat, almost embarrassed it seems, and says, with my coaching, “Change shape into a woman-shaped one that does not look like anyone here.”

Just as with Leeha, the Fire Elemental slowly changes its shape until a little woman made of fire is sitting on the palm of Lahana’s hand. She is about four inches tall, the same size as both mine and Leeha’s Elementals.

Lahana asks quickly, “What else can it do?”

Laughing, I tell her, “No clue. I mean, I am still learning here. You are all the ones who have been using magic for a long time.”

“That might be it, Alex,” Leeha says slowly with a thoughtful look on her face as she stares down at her Water Elemental, who is looking around curiously.

“What do you mean?” I ask, looking at my own Water Elemental and waving to it. It waves back, making me chuckle.

“We go with what we know. You seem to do things that are from your world or from stories on your world. I mean, what other ideas do you have in your head that we on Boromour have not even thought of? Not only are you going to be powerful as an Elemental Summoner, but with these ideas of yours? You will be unstoppable.” Suddenly, her Water Elemental is gone, and she stands up. I think Water and mine goes away as well.

She walks over and puts her legs over me, sitting down in my lap with her legs behind me, and she stares at me hard. “Alex of Terra, will you take me as your wife?”

Chapter Twenty-One

“My what?” I ask Leeha, sounding like an idiot.

“Wife,” she says with a smile.

“But,” I start but then I pause. I mean, I like Leeha. Quite a lot, actually. But do I want to marry someone and be tied to one person for the rest of my time in this world? Leeha must see my hesitation since she speaks again.

“What’s the matter?” she asks me softly.

“I can honestly say that I care for you, Leeha, but you are asking for me to go into a union with you that will last our whole lives,” I tell her slowly, hoping I don’t hurt her feelings. I mean, here I have the hottest woman who I have ever met asking to marry me, and all I can think about is what if I meet other girls? Honestly, I have this new body, which I want to test drive more. I mean, there are monster girls in this world! Do I really want to marry Leeha? Even though I am falling for her, it would mean no chance to have sex with monster girls!

Leeha must have figured out what my hesitation was about since she asks, “Alex, on your world, what does marriage mean?”

“Um, it means the union of one
