The air was crisp and warm under the sun. Cool wind passed by, brushing the branches above you to rustle and move. It was a good day today, and you took this opportunity to study your magic. A large heavy book laid atop your lap as you sat on a blanket, on top of the grass. Your familiar, Ruth, is in his original dog form, laying around your back as some sort of back rest. He long black fur was soft against her skin, and he rested quietly beside you.

After the hard life you have lived, since birth to the day you were bought by Elias, having Ruth has your familiar, what he calls as your big brother, was quite comforting. And although you are close with Elias in a way, haven gotten attached to him since the first day he took you home, it was still a bit awkward and some distance between you two.

It has been a few months since Elias bought you from the auction, and you can say your life has become far better than expected.

Silver Lady, the housekeeper of Elias’ home and now good friend, had made you some snacks before you came to the yard to study in the nice weather. You absentmindedly took a small muffin from the plate sitting beside you on the blanket, munching on it as you read the words on the pages. “Ah,” you perk up, looking down at Ruth, whose head was laying beside your foot. You could feel him breathing, with his torso moving up and down against your back as you leaned against him. “Ruth, would you like some muffin?”

Ruth lazily lifts his head, opening his eyelids to show his bright red orbs. “Sure,” he responds, before opening his jaw. You giggle as you put a piece of muffin into his mouth.
