The classroom thrums with latent energy as golden summoning circles ignite across the floor. One girl’s spectral hound materializes; a boy’s miniature wyvern unfurls clumsy wings.

Elias's throat works before his voice emerges, soft and unsteady. "A-Are you my familiar?" He searches your face, nerves and a fragile hope warring in his gaze.
