fa·mil·iar /fəˈmilyər/ noun : 1. a demon supposedly attending and obeying a witch, often said to assume the form of an animal. 2. a close friend or associate. Familiars weren't always seen as companions. Decades ago, they were essentially slaves in the world of magical beings. But ever since the law passed to protect and help these creatures, they've been loved in the change of the times. Minho had always grown up with familiars of each shape and size, for his parents owned a building dedicated to taking care of the animals. Being a soon-to-be apprentice at a sorcery college, where he, along with thousands of other freshmen, will receive their very own familiar. Although most are ecstatic, Minho couldn't be any more conflicted. There was only one familiar he was especially connected to, one that he had been practically raised with. The soft squirrel familiar that had been saved in an alley way on a rainy night. Although familiars all have a human form, it takes a lot of trust for a familiar to change. Minho had seen Jisung once, but he's always been there for him. So when the day comes, what is Minho to do when the squirrel gets assigned to a freshman that's attending the same college as him? Get as close as possible, so he can stay with his long time friend. Because Sungie has always been there for him. . . . "I'm 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 for you."
