Chapter Text
Prologue.
"welcome ladies and gentlemen,to this year's familiar summoning festival! "These young warlocks, Will summon their very own familiars,Good luck out there!"
A large stadium yelled in anticipation of what was to come, this was the make or break of a young warlocks future. If you had a weak familiar then you were a weak warlock, and you would be shunned by society. However have a too powerful familiar, and you would be feared. The aim was to get one in-between not one to strong but not too weak, at least that's what satoru was aiming for.
Satoru stood in a large circle of fellow summoners, a bright spiraling blue star shimmered in the centre of them all. The clapping and screaming was drowned out by their anxiety. 'what if something went wrong?would mum still be proud?' the man that was bellowing loudly into the mic again," The ceremony is about to begin!"the loud voice of the man was replaced by a navely voice of a middle aged women," ahem," she coughed before continuing " please be quiet the young summoners need they're CONCENTRATION " She yelled , before people finally quieted down. Silence filled the air.
The air was thick with tension. A man walked up to the circle , a large book clasped in his hands. You've all read the instruction's? we all nodded, of course we all did this was important. I Recited the steps in my head.
step 1. cut your hand
step 2. let at least 2 drops fall on the circle.
step 3. call forth using your soul string (for max summon compatibility)
step 4. form a contract with your familiar
step 5. clean your blood off the circle in preparation for the next summoner
step 6. present your familiar to the audience ( your familiar should have appeared by now)
The man asked for a volenteer,kenya stepped forward, 'goodluck' i chanted mentally. He went forward repeating the steps, the drop of blood seemingly twisting as Kenya closed his eyes. I wonder what his familiar will be ? A mythical creature or a animal, the more common summon being the animal as the relationship between master and familiar was more stable. After what seemed like a eternity a small orb of water appeared , holding two dancing koi fish twisting and dancing around Kenya, his eyes wide with delight . As if showing off their new master the bubbled happily their owner gaping much like his fish. If Kenya can do it so can I , and I stepped forward a small "good luck" heard, I smiled and replyed mentally 'thanks hiromi'
I used the small blade given to me and cut my hand , allowing three drops of blood to fall to the ground 'better safe than sorry I guess' Once the blood had fallen. I pulled,my soul strand that was wrapped tightly around a great bulking force. I let the words spill from my mouth as I whispered.
'protect me , help me , guide me , be my light in the dark tunnel come forth my familiar hear my call' a dark voice barratone voice replied not that small cuddly one I had been so hopefully praying for.
" Oh don't worry, I'll give you all the protection you could ever dream of " it spoke , and with that the contract was sealed I was stuck with whatever appeared before me.
I opened my eyes the blood's spasming ceasing. The audience quiet with anticipation, I heard a high pitched scream.spiders hundreds of them. they all rushed to the summoning circle brushing my leg as they went "what the fu-" the spiders climbed up into each other,stacking into a person. A man. He had black hair and red ,maroon eyes a smug smirk ,soon stretched apon his lips.
"hello spice, You called?" "wh-wha-who-are" I couldn't speak, I can't believe that this,this was my familair. he replied to my babbling, come echoing soothingly.
"oh how rude of me,I'm Yashiro your familiar"
i hope you liked it , please review and kudo see you soon!
