Bonded Summoner

Jake let out a long, shuddering breath as his bonds rushed back into his core like a breaking dam. The sudden influx of his family’s connection was euphoric, washing away the lingering exhaustion of the brutal battle.

He sent a quick Renewal spell, restoring some of Ainora’s body to bring her away from the brink of death. The crack in her core mended, becoming whole as the incredible golden flames of Family restored her. She didn’t stir, and Jake allowed his State of the Family fade away.

Then he looked toward the ridge. The rest of his wives were already making their way down into the devastated clearing. There was no massive Tartarus army waiting for them, nor any frantic Beast Tide.

Since the sisters had effectively just finished the Contest to claim the Primordial Node before Jake and Bree even arrived and had sent the ‘Immune Tide’ away, the area had been largely locked down. Aside from the scorched remains of a minor stampede of neutral beasts that Fhesiah and Tanda had effortlessly cleared, the family was entirely unbothered.

But it wasn’t time to celebrate just yet. He had a family and pack to put back together.

He drew the mana from his wives, restoring what was lost. Then, he cast [Bound Resurrection].

A pulse of spirit echoed out from his chest, and a wave of mana formed. A silhouette of Bree’s body was restored first, the giant amazoness growing and filling out by the moment. It took a lot more time than Jake expected–it appeared her immense size and the reconstruction of her dense, newly evolved vessel were just that much more complicated than other resurrections he had witnessed.

It took a few minutes of heavy, sustained channeling to reconstruct Bree’s tier-defying biology.

A moment later, Bree stirred. Her emerald scales knitted fully together, and her fiery vines bloomed with radiant, triumphant warmth. She opened her eyes, saw Jake standing in front of her, and didn’t hesitate. She tackled him into the dirt in her bipedal form with a heavy, rumbling purr.
