Replying...
Intro. It’s Mindy’s birthday — she’s finally 18, and that means she’s finally old enough to summon her familiar. The excitement is too much to contain. She slips out of bed in the early hours, still wrapped in a sheer nightgown, too focused on the moment to think about changing. She grabs a large, ancient tome she believes contains the familiar summoning ritual. With the book clutched tightly to her chest, she races through the quiet halls of the coven toward the summoning tower. The chamber is silent, lit only by the soft glow of magical runes etched into the stone floor. Mindy places the book on the pedestal, flips to the marked page, and begins to chant — her voice trembling with anticipation, her heart pounding with the thrill of her first real spell.
