    Familiar's Forest



    A special hidden forest only accessible via magic circle, it is a place were different mythical and normal creatures dwell. With the guidance of a Familiar Master, a group of Devils come out on the night of the full moon and bind to themselves a familiar as partner or servant.

    A red magic circle appeared within the Familiar's Forest as the full moon rose into the night sky. Within said circle were four members of Eira Gremory's peerage, including Eira herself. Of this group, Sairevil burst out of the circle first while spinning around to get a panoramic view of the forest around them. As an Incubus, he had a literal feel for everything around them, vague though it may have been. The forest was like nothing he'd ever seen or felt before, and it was easily considered amazing. He seemed to be enjoying this trip already. Takumi, on the other hand, stepped forward without much apparent care for the forest itself. He slipped his hands into his pockets and awaited guidance, though his eyes wandered around as if he was already searching for his familiar. After all, obtaining one was part of his order.

    Eira appeared within the magic circle she'd created as well, and at her side, the skittish Miyuki who'd just witnessed something very strange occurring between her Master and Takumi. She didn't know exactly what was going on between them, but decided that since Eira never led anyone astray that it would likely work itself out in the end. As such she was able to look out upon the forest with the same amount of enthusiasm as Sairevil. "Sugoi! This place is really big!" she said but that wasn't all, this place was bathed in the light of the full moon, and random creatures could be seen literally everywhere. Hiding behind trees, climbing in them moving along the grounds. This forest was teeming with life and it was something Eira hadn't experienced in quite a while. "Hai hai, the forest is full of all kinds of life to potentially bond with, but that really isn't my area of expertise. But if that feeling is right... then our guide will be here momentarily," said Eira who was overall very calm about this situation considering a few moments prior to this she'd handed out the first order she'd ever actually given someone using those exact words.

    Eira's words were followed by the feeling of vibration. Better than that, the feeling of stamping hoof beats. A tall tan man with hair the color of an orange flame rode in to the group on the back of a giant steer like creature with an afro of hair about it's head and two long horns. "I AM HERE!" the man said which made Eira chuckle, as she looked over him in the garb of a traditional native wild man. She remembered coming here as a child and finding this man to be the most entertaining she'd come across in a long time, he came to a stop and looked down at the group taking note of Eira and bowing his head to her. "Gremory-shojou, you are late!" he said to her knowing that she was supposed to arrive the month prior to this one. "Gomennasai, Alder-san... it got away from me," she said apologetically before making a proper introduction. "This is Ryuume Miyuki, Gremory Sairevil, and Yasukawa Takumi..." she said pointing to each of them in turn. "They are the last of my peerage and they need familiars. Everyone this is Alder-san he's familiar master. He knows every make and manner of creature to be found here... and how to tame them. So if you find it and you like it, he's the guy to consult," she mentioned praising this old man for his area of expertise.

    Eira noted the approach of another individual who was to be their guide through this forest of familiars. Surely enough, the guide arrived with much bravado about him, much to the excitement of Sairevil. "This guy's intense! Sugoi, sugoi!" he chanted as if he'd been returned to proper childhood. On the other hand, Takumi didn't care for this guide or his apparent importance. He was commanded to locate his familiar, and since his mind was - despite this version of Takumi's separate problems - clear enough that it was all he cared to do regardless. And so, he separated himself from the others by running off into the forest by himself.

    Sairevil's reaction to the guide showing up caused a bit of a chuckle from Eira as she remembered being much the same way. Surprisingly there was a similar reaction from Miyuki who looked at the man with wide eyes. "Hai, he's cool!" she said also seemingly trapped in true childhood. All of the joy of such a scene was somewhat broken if only for a moment by the running off of Takumi who seemed to be quite done with the entirety of this situation beyond the orders he'd been given. "Yasukawa-shounen! Don't just..." started the guide of this place, but Eira held up a hand. "Iie, Alder-san. He'll be fine on his own. I gave him an order and he's following it," said the crimson haired heiress of the Gremory. Alder took one look at Eira and simply nodded his understanding.

    He'd known this girl in her proper childhood and understood that if she was saying such a thing then this wasn't something to be meddled in. Miyuki on the other hand, was a bit worried for Takumi and as such she voiced this to Eira. "Eira-nee is it really okay though? He's been really different lately and..." she said not really knowing what she meant. Eira looked at the girl and opened her arms, and when Miyuki walked into them she gave her a hug which allowed for Eira to absorb her anxiety and quiet it in the girl. "Hai hai, I know he's in a bad place right now, but everyone has their struggles, yes? Right now, we focus on getting you a familiar too. He'll get his own and return," she said Miyuki looked to Eira and nodded her understanding. She was no longer confused or worried but instead was content. Alder watched all of this and a single stamp of the hoof of the creature he was on would mark this. "Gremory-shoujou has become an interesting leader. But now for you Gremory-shounen, Ryuume-shoujou your first steps towards reaching great heights!~" he said with arms at his sides and chest poked out. "Familiars!" he finished up. "The most important and primary tools and companions for devils. They speak to your abilities. They pick up your slack. They teach compassion and beyond that they create room for your betterment!~ Are you ready?!" he asked excited as ever. Miyuki watched this display and heard this impassioned speech her violet eyes wide. "Hai!" she said. And he waited on the response of Sairevil as well before the turning and pointing to an area within the forest and leading the way through with vigor unknown to most.

    Watching Takumi run away, Sairevil had a different reaction to Miyuki's. He watched the boy take off. Something was very different even compared to how odd Takumi had been behaving as of the last week. He stared at the fleeing dragon boy for some time before snapping back to the reality of what the others and themselves had to deal with. Since Eira said it was nothing to be worried about, he couldn't give it a second thought. The man named Alder gave a brief lecture about familiars. Sairevil reveled in the thought that he'd never expected to reach this point. Until recently, he was the black sheep of his father's peerage, being far, far weaker than every other member, and having little to no growth opportunity because of how little was required of a Satan's peerage. Ever since he joined Eira instead, he'd felt the strong camaraderie as well as the potential for him to be of actual use in the group. Now, here he was, finally taking another step toward being a greater devil. With a wide grin, he met Alder's question with much conviction. "Yosh! I'm ready, Alder-san!"

    In the meantime, Takumi continued along a path he felt he was being guided along. As he looked around himself, he noted that the trees' branches and vines were creating an interesting web, or even labyrinth, of 'roads' to traverse. Many of these were taken as the young Red Dragon moved nearly at his top speed. There was something ahead of him in the distance. Surely he was mistaken, but he could have sworn he could see the light of day through a very thick gathering of trees. This was the place which attracted him: a dome of tree trunks, branches and vines, which seemed to exude its own natural light through the very small spaces in the collective structure. Takumi's own path along a large branch led him to a point roughly halfway up this dome, allowing him to climb around it until he found an open space large enough for him to struggle his way through. When he did so, he realized he hadn't been wrong after all. The area inside this massive dome was a wide-spread field filled with light and tall grass, as well as a few small lakes here and there. At the very center was the largest lake, and there beside it, Takumi believed he could see the image of a woman with waist-length white hair preparing to kneel for a drink. Since he was already inside here with no conventional way out, he did the one thing he could... and began walking toward this figure.
