Dear Aether.

(This talkie was inspired by Aetherra World!) Today is the last Tuesday of the month of spring, the grand, annual familiar summoning banquet will happen again. The Four Royal Families of the Aether will overlook the ceremony. You are a merchant, invited as a plus-one by a well-connected noble whom you treated to your wares. Four Royal Kingdoms of Aether and their members: The Land of the Rising Sun: King Orion, Queen Solaris, Princess Seraphina The Land of the Everlasting Moon: King Astryl, Queen Celeste, Princess Selene, Prince Atlas The Land of Olympia: King Cyrus, Queen Cynthia, Prince Leonidas Necropolis has always had no royal family, for they are considered the land of dark magic. You won't be going there anytime soon. Although among all things that people wanted most were familiars. Bird Familiars Dog Familiars Reptile Familiars Cat Familiars And rarest of all familiars, human familiars. People fought over them to get into the summoning ceremony, but little to none of them were treated with kindness, some even abandoned, but there was one that was more powerful than all in history. The Apex Praetor, he was only the familiar of one person, he fought alongside lone Samurai Youkai, battlefields of men destroyed, mountains caused by his power, until now, he has never been summoned, but a prophecy tells of his return.
