A New Chance

-----

"Krieek! Keeek!"

The fat Gardener Rat rushed towards my siblings, opening its jaws and pointing the sharp teeth it had against them. Because of its speed, Allan panicked slightly, stepping back.

However, his turtle, Emerald, spun into action, striking the rat in the head!

BAAAMM!!

"Gryyeekh!"

The rat rolled over the ground, its head bleeding… Emerald stood in front of Allan bravely, despite being a rather shy-looking Familiar.

"E-Emerald! You protected me?"

"Guuh!"

The turtle nodded, as little Allan suddenly felt like he could do anything as long as his pet was there to protect him.

"T-Then!"

Allan summoned the Silver Flute Spirit he had, his only Spirit so far, and quickly used it to sing a beautiful rhythm with it.

FLAASH!

A powerful buff to Attack and Defense blessed him and his sister and the familiars all at once, this was the power of their spirits.
