Age 11
Chloe smiled as she finished the final curve of her summoning symbol drawn in white chalk. White for purity. The use of white chalk and fresh candles made you more likely to obtain a harmless summon.
Chloe had first learned of summoning magic when she was 8. She found it in one of the books she forced herself to read in search of a way to prove to her family she was worth while. Summoning magic was a different category of magic all together. You had to have mana wielding abilities to cast spells. However summoning magic required something else that wasn't specifically named. Most of the books she's found simply called it a fitting will or powerful wills but some people were unable to summon creatures whether or not they could wield normal magic.
Chloe had spent nearly three years reading every book about summoning magic she could get her hands on and today was her test.
She lit the one candle in the center of the circle before she spoke the words that would activate it. The flame of her candle went out but the white lines of the circle began to glow bright enough she shielded her eyes.
When the light faded she saw a little flame creature floating over the candle. A will-o-whisp. When found in their natural habitat they were said to lead you to your fate however when summoned they were harmless spirits with the intelligence of a basic rodent.
Still it was Chloe's first summon. Chloe quickly picked up the thread beside her and tied one piece to her wrist before cutting another part of it for the will-o-whisp. "Will you stay as my summon? I promise I'll release you tomorrow."
Of course the will-o-whisp didn't understand what Chloe said but she wrapped the threat around the creature. The thread began to glow once her hand and the creature were in the circle together before all light faded. The circle of chalk vanished but the will-o-whisp remained with a small golden band around it's center.
Chloe held out her hand and the creature moved forward, hovering over her palm now. It wasn't hot to the touch despite looking like it was made of flames. "I want to show you to my family tonight. Tomorrow I'll send you home."
Age 15 Despite her parents disappointment, Chloe had started to get her name out there. Word spread through magical communities that a promising summoner was on the rise.
She's been invited to visit the home of an older mage who had been a well known summoner himself in his prime. She and two others were in his company to learn more about summoning. He gave daily lessons to them and taught them how to best care for their summons.
Chloe didn't always listen to him though. He didn't support how much freedom she gave her summons, only calling on them when she needed them. More importantly she tried to help her summons as much as they helped her. He had seen Chloe helping a sprite in her care and called Chloe a slave to her summons. She, of course, didn't care what he thought. She was happy with the balance she struck. She was here to gain more power and she now knew how.
