school of magic

felgon

a few days have passed since I gave my virginity to Marcus. its after supper and marcus took off to hang out with his friends, so I decided to do my routine walk around the grounds, this time I wanted to do something a little different. I decide to walk into the forest. its not forbidden but it is dangerous. the forest is filled with magical creatures from the innocent fairies, drakelings and carbuncles, to the dangerous felgons, centaurs and goblins.

I make sure to hold my wand firmly in my hand as I walk quietly through the forest, taking in the sounds of the insects and birds. I see the lights of fairies dancing around me and I smile.

I make it to a small lake when a massive roar envelops the forest and suddenly its like all sounds are quiet.

I look around wondering where that road came from and start walking slowly toward it.

another roar blasts out but this one sounds different, almost as if its in pain, I can tell im getting closer when I hear a few guys voices scream "its down! we did i!"

I get closer and see what was making the noise and its massive, with the body of a giant cat. similar to a panther but at least 3 times the size and huge dragon like wings. A felgon. I watch as 3 people yank something out of its mouth and am immediately disgusted. they wanted her fangs, they killed this beautiful creature for a couple of fangs. I continue hiding behind the tree watching them dance around her and take pictures when I feel something at my feet.

I look down and see what appears to be a tiny ball of fur with wings it mews quietly so I pick it up and pet its head to keep it quiet. I watch the guys leave and after a few minutes i pull my wand out, i quickly flick it. "lux" a bright light illuminates the area.

I quickly realize the little ball of fur im holding is a baby felgon. oh god was that its mom. theres something wrong with it. its tail is bent at the end and has some blood coming off its ear. "im gonna get you help little one." I walk towards its mom and look at her. I bend down near her face and put my hand in her fur. blood is coming out of several areas. I promise ill look after your baby. I can feel tears roll down my cheeks as I pet the mom's head. I search the area quickly to make sure theres no more babies and make my way back to the castle to the beasts master brandy arwins chambers.

I bang on her door repeatedly until she answers. "what the hell class is over."

I hold up the baby felgon in my hands. "please help."

"my lord where'd you get that." she says opening her door allowing me in. I rush in and place the felgon on the table.

the little felgon mews at me quietly trying to climb into my cloak again.

I look at professor arwin while trying to hold the felgon on the table. "I was in the forest walking around and I heard this loud roar I dont know what came over me I just walked in that direction, I watched as a group of guys slaughtered a felgon." I can feel the tears fall down my cheeks again. "I just stood there professor. there was 3 of them they killed that creature and took pleasure in it. ripped its fangs out. I felt something rub against my legs and found this one. I dont know if its a boy or girl but its hurt."

the professor takes the felgon from my hands and looks it over. "well its a she is can tell you that." she holds the felgon in a position so I can see its belly. "gender it the same way as a cat." the professor grabs some antiseptic wipes to clean up the wound on the ear. "this wont need stitches and should heal on its own. as for the tail, theres no need to fix it, the bone is not attached anymore at the tip there it will stay crooked like this and shell have some difficulties with balance at first but shell be fine."

I nod and pet her again once the professor puts her down on the table. she mews at me and rubs against my face.

"felgons dont normally act like that, this is how theyd act only if theyre a familiar. I reckon that pull you felt to investigate the sounds was her soul reaching out to yours and binding as a familiars" professor arwin says leaning against the table watching the felgon interact with me.

I look up at her. "felgons can be familiars?"

the professor nods. "quite rare actually, only happens with powerful witch and wizards or witch and wizards who have a talent with magical creatures. the ones whose life mission it is to make creatures lives better."

I nod and look at the felgon. "foo, your name is foo."

foo mews at me and purrs curly into a ball in my hands.

the professor grabs a book and sits down opening it to a page on felgons. "theyre both simple and complicated creatures."

I nod and look at the pages.

"now obviously theyre part dragon so the can fly. I dont think youll have to worry about that yet as it seems shes still very young. id say maybe a month. feed her raw meat and milk. you could do cooked but raws is better for her."

"ok."

"now here's where its going to get complicated for you. i assume the felgon you seen in the forest fighting was huge. while yes they are huge they have a unique ability."

I raise my eyebrow wondering what shes talking about.

"they can transform between being the large oversized beasts you seen and being the size of a panther, once full grown so about a year from now. youll need to take her to the grounds everyday to let her get into her beast form, theyre intelligent creatures so they should understand the command transform when you give it. as she is now fitting in one of your hands if she were to transform I doubt she'd be bigger than a regular house cat or small dog."

I nod and just stare at her sleeping in my hand purring away. my familiar.

"not tonight when you got to transfiguration calls tomorrow and you see miss woods inform her you have your familiar already. first years normally have a ceremony half way through the year where they go into a room full of cats and the cats choose their familiars. your name will need to be taken off that list. its possible to have two but I reckon youll have your hands full with this one."

I laugh and nod. "ok thank you."

"now off to bed dont forget to put a bowl of milk down in your room."

"thank you i wont forget." I walk out of the chambers and head toward the dining hall. I hold foo in my arms. once i get to the dining hall I walk in. its pretty much empty theres only a few people here.

I walk to the fridges and grab the milk and a bowl.

"em."

I sigh quickly putting the milk away after pouring some in the bowl and turn to look at tom standing behind me with his hands in his pockets.

foo lifts her head and meows at him.

"em where'd you get that."

I hold her up even with how mad I am at tom nothing can ruin my mood about foo.

"the forest isn't she cute"

foo stretches in my hands and looks at toms and meows lightly.

tom looks from me to foo then back at me. "dont tell me you stole a baby felgon from it mom."

I roll my eyes. "dont be dumb." I sigh. "a group of guys killed her mom and hurt her. I watched it happen, shes my familiar now." I say and smile.

tom holds his hand out to foo and she sniffs it and gives it a small nudge before turning around and jumping to my shoulder slightly missing but using her claws to hold on. I push her up with my hand to help her and grab the bowl of milk.

"seems she likes you." I say looking at him quietly.

"does that mean youll forgive me." tom says staring at me.

I look at him quietly. I miss him being in my life, but im still hurt about what happened. I let out a sigh. "maybe." I give him a half smile. "im going to bed. good night tom."

tom smiles, not a smirk an actual smile and nods. "good night em."

I walk passed him with foo sitting on my shoulder still and holding her bowl of milk and head to mine and megs room.

when I walk in meg looks up from her bed. "There you are!" she yells.

"what?"

"its so late what the hell took you so long?"

I place the bowl of milk on the dresser beside my bed and put foo down beside it and point at her. "she made me take so long." I say smiling from ear to ear.

meg quickly jumps up. "em what is that."

"a felgon! and my familiar." I say still smiling.

meg looks from foo whose drinking her milk quietly to me. "how the hell did you get a felgon?" she says walking over quietly.

"well her mom's dead. some boys from school killed her for a trophy. foo found me, I seen she was hurt so I brought her to the beast masters chambers. learned a few things and here we are."

"can I pet her?" meg says rubbing her hands.

I shrug. "you can see if she'll let you."

meg holds her hand out to foo who lifts her head from the milk showing her black face completely covered in milk causing meg and I to laugh. foo sniffs meg then goes back to her milk, meg takes this as permission and starts petting her, and we hear foo start to purr as she drinks her milk.

"well thats two people shes ok with other than me?"

"marcus?" meg asks.

I shake my head. "tom."

meg raises an eyebrow at me. "explain."

"I ran into him in the dining hall when I was getting foo milk. she purred and let him pet her." I say shrugging and getting undressed for bed.

"marcus isn't going to like you talking to tom."

I look at meg quietly. "hes a little protective isn't he."

meg nods. "wouldn't call it a little. I've overheard a few guys talking to stay away from you."

I sigh and lay down.
