Arcs flew into the air as a blinding glow pulsed from the symbol painted on the ground. Energy swirled and merged in the middle of the air, taking form and twisting into a long,complex shape. At the edge of the symbol, his hands planted firmly onto it, was a boy named Timothy Loren. A young apprentice, aspiring to become a sorcerer, was attempting to perform a rite of passage on his own.
The summoning of a familiar.
It was normally performed in the presence of an experienced sorcerer or sorceress, to ensure that no harm came to the apprentice. However, after being told he wasn't ready to summon a familiar, he took it into his own hands to perform the summon without any supervision. He grit his teeth as he endured the toll the summoning was taking on his body. As the light dimmed, and a figure manifested, a seal appeared on both the figure and Timothy, before disappearing completely.
The boy suddenly collapsed onto the ground, panting from the strain of the ritual. The summoning had taken half of his life energy, rendering Timothy exhausted and almost unconscious. Nevertheless, he did it. After rolling onto his back, and staring up at the figure, he smiled and let out a boyish giggle. The creature could see a young boy wearing only shorts and a painted symbol on his body. Timothy pushed himself to speak, even though his body wanted nothing more than rest. It was taking a while for the life-link to do its work. "I'm...Timothy Loren...our lives are now linked...I'm...your master."
The next moment, Timothy found himself waking in the morning, his body wrapped in unfamiliar coils. "W-wha?! It's morning already?!" Timothy panicked, but could not break free from the bind. If he wasn't back home before breakfast was finished, he was sure to get in trouble for breaking house curfew. 'Hey! Wake up!" He yelled to the creature, while struggling to get out of the coils.
