Summoning was the rarest and most difficult of all Boons, as it dealt with the control of a being, rather than a material or a force.  Thus, it only seemed fitting that young Tsume's Bane be sufficiently 'disastrous'.  Indeed, after the mighty Arctic Leopard "Ulthesitus" had completed his mission, he allowed the young canine boy to understand what a disproportionately large phallus maneuvering up his tight passage would feel like.  It was his burden to bear.  All Summoned beings require a sacrifice of some kind.  This sacrifice is often determined when the Boon first manifests itself, and thus, from this point on, the only thing Tsume's Summons would ever require would be payment through his body.  Most properly in a variety of humiliating and potentially painful ways.<br/><br/>In these two weeks, Tsume had managed to avoid the various conflicts among the land, but it wasn't going to be much longer until conflict found him.  Padding lightly along, Tsume saw a wisp of smoke in the distance, as well as the pungent aroma of burning wood and various other debris.  In the distance he could see a caravan of sorts consisting of about three carriages, smashed and currently a blaze.  He could not see which Kingdom the caravan was from, or what its cargo was at this distance.  The heavy foliage and surrounding woodlands made seeing anything beyond a certain distance impossible.
