thirtyseventh[An energy force. That’s what Guardian Forces are. That’s what they’re supposed to be—but they aren’t quite that, either. When summoned, they do real, physical damage to the environment around them. They connect with their summoner on another level, push their fighting to another level and taking something valuable in return. Guardian Forces are more than energy, then. Energy is not discriminate. Energy does not think, doesn’t feel—
But Akheilos does all of those things.
An experimental Guardian Force is what they’d called him. He was discovered in an older piece of machinery, lost to time, his data and ability to junction intact. All they had was his name, that he was both a water and electric energy, which seemed impossible. Summoning him didn’t always work quite right—students who attempted were shocked as if on the other end of a Thundara spell. The few that were successful found that the ‘feel’ they get from summoning lasted only a split second, as if the Guardian Force was summoned and dismissed at the same time. Akheilos was, then, a Guardian Force who refused to be summoned.
Or at least he refused until he’d been paired with Squall.
The mission was simple. Squall simply had to head to any beach of his choosing when he had the time to spare for an additional mission and attempt to summon the sentient Guardian Force. Akheilos was quickly becoming a horror story within the school, and though many students were unconvinced of his validity, one fact remained—he was real, and he was junctioned and set to be summoned. As his consciousness was part of Squall’s, he could feel him in a sense whenever magic or draws were performed. He’d decided he’d appear for this one. He had questions, after all—was his real body somewhere out there like he knew Ifrit’s once was? Why did he feel so aware when other GF’s sharing his space did not? And why—why did he remember other things?
The connection he felt with the young man he’d been assigned to felt different than when he’d been assigned to others. He’d only have to wait until he was summoned, and then he’d appear, and then—and then what?]
