The Kings Familiar

The magic that had just hidden me started to dissipate into a dim red glow as i looked around the room. It was huge and filled with people standing around and all of them were watching me. Looking straight ahead of me i felt a pull and my eyes connected with a giant man. At least 6' 4" he towered over the other man who seemed to be the High Priest, based on his robes. He had dark hair that was short on the sides and longer on the front and a scar on the side of his head above his ear. But what made it impossible to look away was his golden eyes. They were beautiful. My magic soared around me as our eyes connected and i zeroed in on him.

"King Nikolai Allistair," I said in a steady voice as i walked towards him, his eyes flashing at his name. "My name is Gwendolyn Ryoko. I have been chosen by the Gods to serve you as your Familiar." I announced stopping in front of him i looked up. I reeled in my powers, squishing them down so that my eyes were the only thing glowing. "It'll be a pleasure to serve you My Lord." I curtseyed low and then slowly stood back up to see him watching me, his eyes glowing a swirling gold color.

Gwen never wanted to be a Familiar. She wanted her own life, not one she thought was chosen for her. She didn't want to have to cater to someone's every demand and only exist to be used my another person. Yet the moment she meets her Master, A King who wants nothing to do with her, the urge to prove how useful and powerful she is consumes her. No, she wouldn't let a simple man cast her aside. Did he know what a honor it was to receive her as his Familiar? Can she get him to see what a gift she was? And before the attacks from the North get worse?
