[Cattleya Augusta]
The day has come, that I will have my own familiar. Even though they are called like that, their ranks are a little bit lower than us and they are respected by the other lower servants. Their position is even higher of a knight and Chevalier. They are also not tied down by the nobles and can freely do whatever they want. My two elder sisters have their own familiars. I envy and admire them the same time. I have no choice but to head out. In the ceremony room, which is a sacred place, is where each princesses summon their familiars. I said only princesses because the only people capable of having magic are women of all ages. Men use spears and shields to fight and women use their magic to protect their country and fight off evils. There are schools for this kinds of things but my parents doesn't want me to attend them unless I have my own familiar. Frustrated by this, I have no other choice but to have one.
"It seems that you are here and decided not to run away. That is good." My mother says. Well, I could probably say the Queen. As she tells me this, I got irritated. "Of course I won't. I want to go to school and this is the only reason why I'm doing this." I replied. "I see. Well, do you best. Do it like I explained, okay?" she tells me. The Queen closes the door and I am the only one left in this room. Darkness swallowed everything but there are candle lights so I guess it is okay. As my mother explained, I should prick my finger so blood will flow. I did it and my blood drops to the floor. Seconds later, a white circle appears.
Inside of the magic circle, I can't help but stare at it. At the center of the magic circle, a human appears. My sisters have summoned human familiars too but it is supposed to be impossible for me. I can't help but to look at this creature with awe. It looked at me. Even though it has a mask, it keeps following my every movement. Immediately I rushed outside and informed my mother about this.
"Is the ceremony over already?" she asks. Unable to speak, I just dragged her inside the room. "H-hey? What's wrong, Cattle-" I look at her and she has a confused expression on her face. "Did you summon that?" the Queen says with her voice shaking. "Yes. Please tell me what that is. Is that human? Or another species that we know not of? Please tell me. Even a lie would work." I plead to my mother. I look at it again. I think it is looking here but it won't move in its position. This calmed me a little bit and my nervousness disappears. It just looks at me and not saying a word or even moving. It just stands there. I look at my mother and she smiles gently. "Hey, mother. What is that?" I ask. She looks at me and answers, "That is your familiar. You should seal the contract. I'll be waiting outside." my mother goes outside and closes the door.
Looking at it in a calmer perspective, it doesn't seem to be hostile against me. I walk towards it and touch its hand. I lifted it and pricked its finger. Blood comes out and I suck it. The magic circle disappears and the candle light immediately goes off except the one near the door. Darkness surrounds us but I can still feel its presence as I am still holding its hand. Slowly, we walk towards the door and opens it.

Today is the fated day for my daughter, Cattleya. As she is the youngest of the three of them, she is quite spoiled. From the beginning, she has the potential to be a great mage and because of that people started targeting her. For protection, this is the only way we can think of. At the very least, having a familiar would be a threat to those plotting to take our children away. Cattleya arrives and starts to complain. She seems to be quite angry. She enters the room and left her there. A few minutes later, she exits and drags me frantically. As I look at her familiar, I remembered some words from my deceased familiar. "Your daughters will all have humans as their familiar. This is what I foresee. Those familiars are compatible with their masters however, one of them is quite dangerous. One advice. Even if the familiar is dangerous, don't treat that person indifferently.
Remembering those words means that he existed. This gave me a warm feeling. "Hey, mother. What is that?" Cattleya asks. I replied, "That is your familiar. You should seal the contract. I'll be waiting outside." as I said, I went outside. Few moments later, they both exits the room and her familiar suddenly falls.

[Familiar of Cattleya]
(the familiar wears the mask)
As I open my eyes, an unfamiliar place is seen. The only person I see was some stranger and she looked shocked. That was understandable because of my line of work. But anyone shouldn't know who I am. The stranger is escaping and I need to kill her fast. As I move my foot, a large surge of electricity flowed through me. My past wounds are felt but no blood is seen. This felt torture. Everytime I move, the same thing happens over and over again. Hurt, I stop moving. I close my eyes and it seems that I can move only my head. I stand there, frozen. I need to save my strength in order to kill the witness. Someone who sees my face is someone that should be killed.
As I open my eyes, the stranger is close to me and held my hand. I look at her and she seems to be calm. The first person that I don't know to come near me is refreshing. I felt trust in her so I decided not to do anything. I felt a little sting in my finger and blood flows. Surprised because she sucked my blood, my heart beat faster. The moment she lets go of my finger, the room becomes dark. It seems that I can escape but decided not to, for unknown reasons. I followed her outside and my sight suddenly becomes blurry. I felt my body fall to the ground.

Puzzled by what it said, I thought about it for a little while. Seeing as it nodded earlier, I lift my hand and decides to take its mask off. Immediately, it grabs my arm and says to me, "I will take it off. Sit down". Immediately, I did what it said without thinking much about it. The voice it gives off make you feel you are inferior. This familiar is the first that I have seen being able to command its master without a question.
Again it speaks, "Before I take off my mask, please give me a name."
"Name? Can't you think of one?" I reply to it.
It sighs. This makes me irritated, "What was the sigh for?"
"I am your possession. Meaning that you have the every right to order me. Having a name you didn't give me means that you have no right to order or request anything to me. Also, giving me name means that you have power over me." The familiar explains to me. What it said really made sense since it is like that when my mother says my name.
I thought about a name that can suit her. Since I cannot see her expression, I thought of blank. "I decided. Your name is Creux."
"Hmm?" Its voice sounded like it caught some interest in the name I gave it. "Why do you name me that?"
"Well, since I can't see your face, I have no memory of your expressions. Meaning that my memories of you is blank and will be if you don't take your mask off." I answered to it.
"Very well, I accept the name you gave me. I am Creux and I am your familiar." It is reaching for its mask then suddenly it speaks again, "I apologize but can you do me one last favor?"
Tired of questioning its replies, I simply answer, "It depends..."
"I... um..." Creux pauses its sentence but I still waited even though this is making me impatient. "I want you to be the only one to know my identity. No one else. Even anyone dear to you."
I sigh and question, "Is that all?"
"Yes. Do you comply?" it asks me.
I simply nod. Creux's hand touch its face, taking off the mask, revealing its face.
Much to my surprise, I was left speechless.

Seeing such a sight, I wondered why it wore such a terrifying mask. Why did Creux hid its face? Why does it not want to show it to anyone? How can it wear a mask with a cute face? I wondered and wondered, just looking at it. "...cute..."
"Pardon? Did you just say something?" Creux asks. Remembering what I said, I felt my face hot and is probably forming a funny expression. "N-no.... Of course not! Why would I even think of how cute you are?" I answer it in a very loud voice. Saying cute twice is a very embarrassing statement. I look away from her.
Creux chuckles a bit, its voice is gentle and soft. Like you would hear from someone's elder sister. "You... really are interesting..." As it speaks, I was surprised. A cold and serious voice is heard. Slowly, I steal a glance at it. Creux's expression is lonely and sad but its eyes has no emotion in it. This made my heart ache a bit.
"Knock, knock!" A voice is heard behind the door. The door slams open and my elder sister appears cheerfully as usual. Going on her own pace not caring about the other party.
Remembering the favor Creux asked, I quickly look back to my familiar. A mask is already on its face. Unlike the earlier mask it had on, this one is plain. Plain white. No designs. I sigh of relief and turns to my sister.
"What are you doing here? I thought you are at Roland?" I ask her.
"I am here for your familiar!" she says cheerfully and looks at Creux, "Though it isn't what I expected. Never thought you are having a human familiar." she looks back at me again and adds, "But good for you!"
I open my mouth but close it again. "Thanks." I smiled.
"You know, you shouldn't really pick on Cattleya much." My eldest sister tells her off. A cheerful expression forms on my face.

"This time, I have to give my sister a good show. But can I do it by using Creux?" I thought to myself and it looks at me. It walks to me and held out its hand. "Am I supposed to destroy the so called Angel or is it the familiar?" it asks me. Without realizing it, I already backs off and created a distance between us. As it starts to walk again, "STOP! DON'T COME NEAR ME!" I shouted to it.
"My apologies." It stops to move from its place. "What is the distance that you want me to not come near you?" Again, it asks.
Pretty much speechless about what it said, I quickly gave a reply that first comes to mind. "O-one and a half meters....?"
"I understand. Actually, I do not know what this Angel you were talking about. Can you please explain it to me? The only information that I have is that those Angels are violent and eats people in sight." Creux says to me, still not moving from its position.
"As the name suggests, Angel means that they are pretty holy when you look at them. They said that in the old days, they were pure white and destructive but because of the knowledge we obtained in magic spells, we are able to fight them equally. Well, for women anyways." I explained to it, still watching for Creux's movements.
".... I see....." It replies to me. "Can you show me where the duel is to be held?" It requests.
I look at it. It doesn't move and I turn my back to it. I take one step and turns to Creux. It moved but our distance is still the same. I sprinted to the corridor as fast as I can and arrives at my room unintentionally. I look back and Creux was there and the sames distance is still the same as we left.
"You really plan on staying on that same distance?" I ask it.
It nods to me, "That is your order and I simply obey. Why are you running away in the first place?" It questions me again.
"I," I catch some of my breath for a little bit and continues, "I kind of thought that you were really frightening a second there. It must be some kind of reflex? I rarely meet people like you so maybe that is the reason?" I replied to it, unsure of what I am saying. "While I change my clothes, will you wait here outside?"
"Understood. I'll be waiting." Creux replies. Its cold and tone of the voice for some unknown reason really scares me. I open my door and starts to change in a much more comfortable clothes.
*This is her clothing*
I look at the mirror and everything is set. I open my door and signals Creux to follow me. We walked a little bit outside of the palace and arrives at the Duel area.
