1 Chapter 1: My familiar

"Peter, have you take your clothes already?", was his mother yelling from the kitchen.

"Yeah, mom. I'm finishing packing.", he answered from his room.

It was a small room but with only a bed and the wardrobe made felt like a empty large one.

"It was good but now I need to learn magic.", he left the room with his backpack.

Peter Sivler was a young boy in his 15 years. He was almost 6 feet tall and black hair about the shoulders. The blue eyes were his charm as they bright through the night on some occasions or when he stared at something for a long time.

His mother was June. A beatiful woman on her middle thirties. She gave the boy her eyes and good hair while his father gave him a stubborn personality. Relius wasn't home as he was a wizard for the government.

"Don't rush your food. Eat half and the other I'll prepare for you eat on the train."

"Thanks. Mom, where is Penelope?"

"She's taking a stroll. She was too much inside the house lately."

"It's long time since I saw her out. What... about a month or two?"

"About that.", as she finished a roar came from outside the house. "Speaking of the devil. Stay there, Peter wants to see you in that form.", another roar. "Shut up, stupid cat."

The communication from the familiars were exclusive to their masters, so the wizards who summoned them.

Peter left the house after giving the plate with half of the food to his mom.

Outside was a White Tiger with Carmesim Stripes. It was Penelope. She could transform herself on a domestic cat for more comfort inside the house.

"I always forget how big and beatiful you are Penelope.", as he hugged the Tiger the animal returned the affection. "Do you intend to return work, mom?"

"I don't know yet. Your father and I decided to take the decision once you were engaged on the school."

"She does seen like she would like to.", he talked about the huge kitten.

"Yeah, she does. I would like too but it was a long time since I stopped."

"I know."

June stopped to work as a magician to take care of the pregnancy and next to raise her son. Peter knew but there was nothing he could do about but thanks for the memories generated by this.

"With her, I know you can do it as before in no time.", he said.

"Oh. And about how good I am with magic?"

"For that I'm not so sure.", he laughed as he ran from water controlled by his mother.

She prepared the food on a lunchbox and gave him.

"Here, I'll see you in half year.", she kissed him on the forehead while hugging.

"Thanks, see you soon."

He took the carriage to the train station. Already on the vehicle were another youngsters about to enter schools of magic as well. Two boys and two girls making him the fifth there.

"What's your name? I'm Bryan.", a young man said. He was a little taller, short black hair and dark eyes.

"Peter.", he said. "Everyone going to learn magic?"

"Yeah.", one of the girls said.

"Which school were you all going to?"

"I'm going to the Renouard Wizard School for Ladies.", the other girl said and the previous apointed at her to show to him that they were going together.

This school was known for etiquette and powerful incantations. His mother told about some friends from this school but they would be powerless without their familiars as the incantations were too long to complete.

"I'm going with Bryan to Kaiser Wizards.", the other boy said. He introduced himself after as Fernand.

Kaiser Wizards were know for great wizards but most of them were autonomous. The school teaches fast and chain incantations. As well extra classes for combat with familiars.

"And you?", Bryan asked.

"I'm between the Byrne School of Incantations and Edwards Wizards.", he answered.

"Both schools are to low budget students. Are you sure? Normally outcasts and homeless tend to frequent this academies.", Bryan said while judging Peter with his choices.

Byrne School of Incantations were an all around school focused on all types of incantations but you would have to self learn most of them. While this Edwards Wizards were a battle focused one. Teaching swordsmanship and enhancing incantations for familiars.

"I don't want to be compared to my parents. So I won't go to any of their schools.", he replied and was true.

Relius graduated as a Kaiser Wizard with honors. Before his graduation he was already known as a Dragon Slayer and after he had the opportunity to put his hands on a dragon egg.

June was another honor student but on the Gerard School for Witches. Penelope alone was known for her doings. Without the help from its master. She was capable of defeating a Young Dragon by herself. After that she joined her master to defeat that dragon's mother.

A wizard is considered powerful when they kill a Dragon by themselves only with the help from the familiars. This matter received the name of Dragon Quest. The wizards then would be nominate Dragon Slayers and would be renowned no matter where it goes. Peter parents did. Both of them.

The carriage arrived at the train station and the group disbanded. Peter was with two recommendation letters on his hands. One of his mother and one from his father. Every kid would like to be recommended by a Dragon Slayer but not Peter.

He sat on the bench and started thinking were to go. Familiars were the only thing he couldn't control, so he put that on thought and knew the answer. He must learn the most of incantations possible and be strong by himself on the future even if this means sacrifice the present a little.

He saw the train that would pass through the portal to his destination and boarded. As the others said the train was full of outcasts and homeless people but that didn't matter to him. He entered a cabin and put his backpack bellow his seat.

"Can I enter?", one girl said to him as she put her head through the door.

"Of course.", he said.

"Girls, here.", she said after for his surprise.

Another four girls appeared and entered with her. The cabin that was supposed to support four people was with six in there. The five girls looked like high society and that bothered Peter a little. Everyone of them were beatiful and had expensive suitcases.

"Going to Byrne too. Why?", the girl of the door asked him.

"Don't want to depend to much from my familiar.", he replied and become silent again.

He then noticed some gossips within the other four girls but didn't care too much. The girl who asked for space looked like was having trouble with the situation. Peter picked his lunchbox and started to eat. It was when the girls laughed.

"Any problem, girls?", he asked with food on the mouth.

They stopped laughing and the other smiled a little.

"That's what I thought.", he said.

"EVERYONE.", the speaker in the cabin started to function and some beats on the mic were listen before starting speaking again. "EVERYONE, USE YOUR SEAT BELT AND PREPARE FOR A JUMP. WE WILL BE TAKING AN HOUR TRIP TO BYRNE TILL THERE DON'T LEAVE YOUR CABINS. THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ON THE SCHOOL."

The door of the cabin closed and everyone was obliged to stay where they were. The girls started to talk again but this time was about something else. So Peter could eat alone and peacefully. When he was to see the jump his eyes passed toward the girls clothes and all of them were uniforms from the Renouard Wizard School.

"What happened?", he looked confused to the girl from the door.

"We were expulsed.", she said.

For him it was obvious that the other four could achieve this merit but why this shy girl had the same punishment? The pressure wasn't good enough for a conversation. So he spend the rest of the travel wanting to know her name.

As the time passed the initiation on the School began.

"Welcome to all the new students and to the old ones.", a man on his forties said. "As you all know you will be divided by the familiar you summon.", he continued.

The School was divided in two. The first was dedicated to the familiars known and how to develop them. The second was to the unknown familiars and to study them. This aside the students didn't have any difference.

"Let's begin with...", one man delivered a letter to the man and he started to read. His face changed from a normal one to a serious. "We have some issues here. So I need...", he called the girls from Peter cabin and everyone of them realized the summoning and then the boy realized their wrong doings.

There was a recent technollogy developed by the wizards. It was named Reborn. It envolved the familiars and their ethereal body. With enough money you could kill your familiar to make it change its form. So rich people started to do it but the Schools didn't approve and punish this as treason that leads to a immediate expulsion.

Time passed and Peter time had come. He went to the man and started to summon his familiar. With a drop of his blood a little snake show up and fastly hide in the boys sleeve.

"It appears to be a baby. Take care of it boy.", the man said to him.

"I will sir.", he replied and smiled even being a little down about his familiar.
