Spook-tober 2025: Day 21

A Familiar

Out of all things I could’ve summoned , IT WAS A MOTH!? And not any of the cool moths either, no, but a damn HUMMING BIRD MOTH!? UGH! How do I explain this to my mom!? She has a cool black cat as a familiar—HELL, my dad has a Dwarf Dragon! a DWARF DRAGON! And I get this stupid little moth that’ll get mistaken for a bird? IT’S UNFAIR!

like, it’s practically a bird! Why couldn’t it be a bird?

I would’ve loved an ACTUAL Humming Bird over this scaly impostor!

And yes, Moths are technically scaly because of their wings…

BITE ME!

So, what do I do now? This little creature is now flittering about in my room, looking for some flowers to drink the necter from. Well, TOO BAD BUDDY, there are no flowers in here and I’m not letting you outside so you can embarrass me in front of my friends and family! No way that’s gonna happen!

Humph!

… Okay, maybe I can admit the little guy looks a bit goofy, perhaps a little silly. It has landed on my hat to look down at me from the nim. It’s slightly cute– SLIGHTLY! I STILL DON’T LIKE THIS THING AT ALL! Very stupid, but also very itty bitty shadow of a chance that I find it fitting to what I am…

A SHADOW OF A CHANCE, MIND YOU, NORMIES! I AM BETTER THAN ALL YOU MAGIC-LESS HUMANS!

YOU MEAN AS LITTLE TO ME AS THIS MOTH IS! WHICH IS LIKE SAYING

I HATE YOU INVERSE!

Wait, inverse? No, wait—!
