Eijirou was very excited when he turned four. This was the day he was going to get his familiar!
Familiars served lots of roles. They were support animals, guides, protectors but most of all they were companions.
He woke his parents up before the sun had fully risen.

And later when it was a decent time and the world was awake, the family set out.
Eijirou was even small enough to ride on Rocky's back with no problem as they walked past store fronts.
But their destination was the biggest store in the district.
The Familiar Place.
Mama and Mommy let him go with a laugh and a wave.
Finding your familiar was a right of passage and used to be done by sending children off into the wilderness by themselves.
Eijirou wandered around the store, weaving through enclosures and cages, waiting for the spark.
Mama said he would feel the spark in his heart when he found his familiar.
It felt like hours and he hadn't felt a single thing.
