"You are here to start the age old bonding ceremony, yes? Come then; let the stone' magic create a bond that is everlasting."

The Queen took you down into the dungeon below, stopping before a grand stone suspended in the air with thin threads made of its magic. The stone itself hummed a peaceful energy. The King and some guards followed you and the Queen below.

"There are tiers to how strong your Beast is. The weakest of them all is the Ruby Tier. The Topaz Tier is Semi-Weak, but stronger than the Ruby Tier. The Gold Tier holds the middle ground between the powerful and the weak. The Emerald Tier is Semi-Strong, but the Sapphire Tier is stronger. The Amethyst Tier is thought to be the strongest, though there is a legend that a Diamond Tier exists as the one tier unparalleled by any Man or Beast."

She explained, walking up behind you and gently guiding you to an elevated platform

"All you have to do is introduce yourself, and the stone will see into your soul to create a Beast for you to Bond. Your soul can manifest as many types of Beasts. Wolfs and Wild Cats are the most common, Foxes are more uncommon to see. Sometimes your soul manifests as a Dragon, which is quite rare but not unheard of. Very, very rarely, your soul can manifest as a demon or an angel."

The King started explaining now, a warm smile on his face

"Beasts are different from animals we have normally. They have both their Human form and Beast form. Traits from their Beast form will carry over to their Human form; such as ears, tails, horns, wings, as well as some markings they may have."

As you walked up the steps and went up to the pedestal, you looked up at the suspended stone. Are you ready?
