“Karivasa dorukun karukun tavis-loraea...”

A stream of golden light poured from his half-clenched hand, settling upon the lines and runes that formed a circle on the steel floor before him.

"Talkuran karavisa vikira soran...”

He lifted his hands into the air, and thick, silver mist billowed out of the center of the glowing circle.

“Kalcuran verasa siranus...”

Beep-beep beep beep beep-beep boooop!  Distracted by the 8-bit ringtone of his cell phone, he dropped his hands and bellowed the first words that came to his head.

“Terrana malaphashus!"

There was a sound of a pebble being skipped across the water, but he turned around and answered his phone before the mist cleared.

“This is Kelphus.  What do you want?”

A cheerful girl’s voice answered him.  “Hi, Kelphus, it’s Selah!”

“Oh.”  He nervously scratched the brown mane on the back of his head.  “Hi, Selah.”

“I’m sooo excited!  I can't wait for takeoff!  Okay, what was I going to call you about?  Oh yeah!  I needed to know what kind of bread you want.  I’m at the store to buy our food right now!”

“I like whole wheat bre--”

“Okay!  Is there anything else I should get for you?”

“Umm, cheese.  The kind that’s yellow and white and shredded.”

“Mm-hmm.  Okay.  I’ll see you later!”

“Bye...”

Kelphus put the phone back in his pocket and turned to see what he had done.  A small grey fish was flailing around in a puddle of water in the middle of the circle.

“Computer, what is that?” he asked.

“That is an Atlantic salmon, from the planet Earth.  It’s commonly used as food there.”

Kelphus walked into the circle and stood imperiously over the fish.  “You are not the creature I intended to summon.”

Its flailings were growing weaker and less violent.

“I don’t even know how I summoned you.”

It twitched one last time.

“But you’re from Earth, huh?”

It stayed still.

“Earth...”  Kelphus looked up, his eyes not focusing on anything.  He was about to leave this planet, on a journey to who-knew-where.  Maybe they would land on Earth at some point.  He had heard some of the most spectacular legends of that place...

The salmon and the puddle dissolved into a grey mist, which dissipated into the air.

“Yeah.”  He looked down again.  “Go back to whatever body of water you were swimming in.  Enjoy Earth.  I bet someone hungry is going to greatly enjoy you.”

He stepped back, out of the circle, and paused to focus on his breathing.  Then he began again.

“Karivasa dorukun karukun tavis-loraea...”
First: You are here!

You know how some artists make webcomics? About a year-and-a-half or two years ago I decided to make a webstory, with text instead of pictures (because that's what I'm good at). The problem is I haven't updated it in several months. Bleh. Now that school's out, I'm going to cross-post the nine pages I have already here on dA while I write myself a bit of a buffer, so that I can post on a regular schedule.

I'm quite positive my writing has improved a bit in the year-and-a-half to two years since I started this... so, I'm curious to see if y'all will notice a difference once I start posting the new stuff.

I hope you like it!
