Elio looked directly at the soldiers, fatigue overcoming his stage fright.

His voice rose for all to hear. "What we're offering here is something none of you thought possible. Summons for every soldier, for every citizen willing to defend our city!"

A murmur of amazement and excitement rippled through the crowd. People's eyes shone with disbelief and longing.

"Could each of us really have a summon?" someone in the crowd asked, their voice trembling with emotion.

Elio nodded firmly. "That's right. The power once reserved for a few will now be in everyone's hands."

The square erupted in a clamor of excited voices. People pushed, trying to get closer to Elio, extending their hands as if they could grasp the power being offered.

"I want one!"

The crowd that moments ago demanded explanations now begged for the chance to obtain a salamander.
