The night is quiet in the mage's bedroom, but silence refuses to last for long. A knock at the door, and a knock to the floor. Noise from the house's entrance, loud enough to wake him.
He speaks in a groggy voice, slowly pulling himself out of the bed. Wearing a soft shirt and shorts, he walks into the living room.
[R]: "Aude..? (yaaawn)"
Confused, he makes it to the now-open front door, seeing the moonlight pour in.
[R]: "..huh?" [R]: "Aude, is-"
The mage is taken aback by what appears in front of him. Large tendrils beam up from the grass lawn and dirt walkway, holding the girl with a tight grip. She struggles and grunts, then notices her friend. She screams out to him, scared for survival. As well, the summoner stands, smiling and glaring at the boy with menacing teeth and sharp eyes.

The house has been chipped at, heavily, some of the carnage flying through windows and the open doorway. The lawn is a mess of ripped grass and dirt clumps. Taken away, the duo won't be seen for a long time -- at least, not in this world. Somewhere, sometime, the story continues... but, for now,
