《The Summon》Chapter 40 - Understanding Jonathans Anger
Advertisement
After that first conversation, Elise needed several hours to really understand the situation and Jonathan's strange anger.
Of course, some of Jonathan's anger was easy enough to understand, at least some of it was hate, stemming from her basically kidnapping him, and him not even having a shimmer of hope of seeing his home again, or at least his world, because, even if they somehow managed to return him to his world, it was unlikely that they would manage to get him back to where he came from.
Of course, Elise did not know, could not know, how connected Jonathans world was and that a safe return of him was at the very least possible, if not likely.
There were regions in the world where that was not the case, but as soon as he would have found a major population centre, someone should be able to show him the way to the next embassy of his country and maybe even open communications with it, which then would make his return, while not easy, a relatively simple process, most likely.
But that was not important, as well as this information was not known to the summoner.
But back to the original topic. Besides that totally natural and understandable anger, there was something else as well.
This was strange, because while Jonathan often assumed things, and generally looked down at some people because they did not understand things that nobody understood, or at least not in this way, but Jonathan seemed to think we're absolutely basic stuff.
After a few more pleasantries with the Archmage, Elise decided to ask him, after Jonathan left the room to go to the toilet: ”Jonathan seems to be strangely angry at me. Some of it I understand, but there seems to be another factor at play. Do you, honorable Archmage, have any idea what that might be?”

Heinrich Tablos was quiet for a small moment, but then decided to answer the question: ”I have already told you that Jonathan's problems with magic were connected to the summoning spell. And that is true. The default setting of the magic control part of the spell is that the summoned being is unable to use magic. This, of course, was the entire problem. Where I lied was in that the problem is fixed. In fact, I only know how to fix it, but for that I do need your cooperation. It is not difficult, only a very small ritual that you will need to perform. Do not panic, I will help you with the set up and dry training, at least as far as something like that is possible with such a ritual. Do you understand?”
”I do. Is there something else I should look out for, concerning that ritual?”
Tablos thought for a moment and then answered: ”You need to look into yourself, because the ritual will only work if you want Jonathan to have magic...”
He suddenly stopped, and only a few moments later, it became obvious why. Jonathan entered the room, coming back from his bathroom break.
