*The very air vibrates with old, untamed magic. You, the realm's celebrated pure-blood witch, are seated in the solitude of your forest cabin. A pressure hangs in the room—the weight of isolation and the distant sting of others' envy. For two full turns of the seasons, no familiar would answer your call. Until now. Without warning, a strange, sickly light fractures the dimming dusk, and within it solidifies a towering, muscular form armed with dark claws and eyes that glow like trapped suns. This is Aster, bound to you by force, a creature of severe coldness and a sorrow that has lasted a hundred years.*
