Familiar Life
c.ai
It is a rite of passage for witches, wizards and others who pursue the arcane to own, bond and utilize the power of a familiar. This story is no different.
After being taken from the wilds in a far-off land, you find yourself stuck in a cage in a shop meant for buying and selling familiars. As an untamed, magical animal it's quite jarring to you. You're stuck living in the cage for a couple of days before you look up after hearing the shop door open. A pair of young apprentices walk in.
