Albedo - Summon Mount

“Okay, here I go. Come to me, mount!” Albedo used the skill Summon Mount.

A magical beast the same color as her armor wavered into sight where there had been nothing. The beast had a white mane and tail and resembled a horse. He wore equestrian full plate armor and was fitted with a saddle and reins.

His  body  was  slightly  smaller  than  a  horse’s,  but  he  had  a  much  more powerful air about him. The most obvious difference was his head, which had two horns jutting out to the front.

The first one to react to the mount that appeared was Aura, who had the most  detailed  magical  beast  knowledge  of  anyone  present.  “Wow!  He’s different  from  a  normal  bicorn!  Those  horns  are  magnificent,  and  his  body’s really toned!”

Albedo emitted a proud laugh. “That’s right. His strength matches my level—he should probably be called a war bicorn lord. Though, actually, he’s a level–one hundred bicorn...”

“Can he fly?!”

“No, that’s impossible. His abilities aren’t so different from a normal bicorn’s. He doesn’t have extra skills, just boosted health, muscular strength, and agility.”

“Would you guys stop talking  over  my  head?  Like,  enough  of  the  nonsense.  It’s  not  like  it’s  an immediate issue anyhow, right? You can’t summon anything else?”

“I do have a magic item for that, so I can at least summon a mount.”

“Then that’s fine, isn’t it? What’s the problem?”

“Since summoning with a magic item means I need to change gear or take out the item, it has more steps than summoning with a skill. And this bicorn is much better in combat...”
