Adventures in Askr (Ft. Erandia and Friends)
Various drabble collections that are too short to stand on its own but still long enough to be read in pieces. Features various headcanons, event-special vignettes, and summoners of others.
Author's Notes
If there's one thing Erandia's Ikes have in abundance, it's stubbornness ahahaha ;w; It helps that Erandia can be pretty stubborn herself LOL Though maybe a third Shigure alt would help even out the family (PLEASE IS EVEN THEM OUT AAAAA)
Once again featuring ruri's Summoner!
The One True Ike (II)
"SPARROW I SWEAR ON MY FUCKING BREIDABLIK THAT I'M GOING MAD" Erandia half-shouted, half-wailed on her phone with Sparrow being the unfortunate friend to receive her latest rants towards the Three Heroes(tm).
"So, what is it this time? Custody over the Shigures? Which Azura is the best? Unnecessary betting for an Azura-harem?"
"Yes, yes, and oh heavens, please don't let that last one be a constant thing." Erandia nearly blanched at the thought of the last incident repeating. She has never been so grateful to have made Shigure learn Reposition during that incident.
"Hmm, that is kinda getting worrying."
"I'm at my wits end here, man! I mean, I'm grateful to whatever higher being up there that made them have three equal alts."
"Yikes, imagine the bloodbath if there had been an unequal number of Azuras."
"I'm getting that problem with Shigure at the moment, you know?" Erandia sighs, nodding a quick thanks at Gordin after handing in the messages for that day.
"What if you set up a contract?"
"That's..." Erandia traced off before smiling at the sudden ingenious plan. "That's a great idea! Thanks Sparrow, you're the best!"
"Sure thing! Keep me updated with it!"
"Oh yeah! So, did I ever tell you what happened when Azura apparently performed a lap dance on Ike that day..."
"Okay, listen up you three. This stupid in-fighting is getting ridiculous." Her eyes glared at the three unit's latest escapade, their blue eyes not meeting with her own furious brown ones. The Azuras and Shigures stood by the side, worried at their respective Ikes after making their summoner mad.
"So, with the help of Sparrow, I had come up with this...!" Erandia slams down a glowing colorless tome, attracting everyone's attention. Written on top of the cover in big bold letters is 'Ike Accords'.
"This is the contract tome for the new rules we are establishing between the three of you. Within it are set of things you can and cannot do. If you failed to comply, you will be punished by it."
"What kind of punishment...?" One of the Ikes warily asked, eyeing the tome in discomfort. Erandia smiles as she picks up the book and turn to a random page.
"Why don't you try? Let's see here... 'No Ike may claim other Azuras as their own, unless it is their designated wife.'" She closes the book shut and gestures the oldest Ike to try breaking the rule. Curious, he tried holding hands with the Azura in white (ignoring the glares his youngest self is giving him) before a bright white light seemed to have stopped him. After blinking away the residue, he was about to ask his summoner if that was it before realizing something rather drastic.
All of the Azuras and Shigures seemed to have gone missing.
"W-What...!"
"As you can see, or not see, if you break ANY of the set rules here, Azura and Shigure will disappear from your sight." With a wave of her hand, the penalty on Ike vanished, allowing him to see his wife and son once more. The other two Ikes straightened up, cold fear somehow washing over them at the reaction of the eldest among them.
"Now, you three will read this tome, sign it, and adhere to it or so help me I will make sure you will never see a glimpse of your respective wives and sons while you are here at Askr. Do I make myself clear?"
Smiling brightly, Erandia left them with no options to voice their dissent as they go over the rules written. At that moment, they finally realized how shrewd and scary their summoner can be.
The three looked at each other, a truce forming and an idea making its way to their heads.
If Erandia is a shrewd summoner, then what better unstoppable force to use against the immovable wall then another shrewd tactician to help them find loopholes?
"Hey Sparrow? Do you have any extra Katarina's, Robin's, Innes', and Sais' I could borrow?" Erandia paused before adding in, "Oh and, if you have Soren's as well, please do send them here."
"Did the plan work?"
"It did... But they recruited my Soren to help out with loopholes."
"... I'll see who I can send."
"My regards."
At that moment, Sparrow pitied her friend, seeing how she is so done with her unit’s bullshit. Sparrow doesn’t worry though, as she knows how her disciple has her summoner pride on the line. Even if it takes a hundred years, the brown-haired summoner knows her friend won’t back down.
Honestly, she can’t wait for their next chat just to know the development this crazy drama went to.
