In a small room located at the upper layers of the castle, a young girl plays with a slime while a man chalking runs into the floor. A maid quitely stands next to the girl, holding a bucket of small glowing rocks.
“Young miss, I believe the lord has finished.” She looks up to the maid and over to her father, a detailed runic circle covers a section of the floor, each layer more detailed than last.
“Father?” she says standing up, slime jumping on the floor. The lord looks over at the two, a shiver running up the maids' backs, those cold calculating eyes, the mark of his less noble side, the side that is about to force a rune of binding onto a slime.
“Lily, bring the slime over”
“Mr slime” lily pouted at her father not using Mr slimes name, of course slimes don't have genders but she didn't know this nor did anyone consider the risk worth it telling her.
“Sorry sweetheart, Please bring Mr slime to the circle”
A smile rose on her face, she grabbed a glowing rock from the bucket and offered it to Mr slime. A hop later and it was happily sitting in girls arms, devouring the stone. She slowly stroked the slime, walking into the circle, avoiding the runes as best she could.
“Meria would you mind finding leo?, he should be here in case anything happens”
“Yes my lord!” Meria left the room, leaving the bucket near the door.
“Okay Lily, i'm going to start the ritual, remember that I will be here to stop it if anything happens”
“Okay daddy” lilly smiled as mana flooded out of her fathers hands, stroking the slime to calm both her and it.
“You won't be able to hear me for a few minutes, try to form a bond with Mr slime, cover yourself with mana if it starts to hurt '' The mana poured out at an increased pace, the chalk circle lighting up a range of colors.

The room was filled with light as the girl and Mr slime were encased in mana, to the young girl, it appeared as if it was just her. Panic slowly rose up on her face, as she felt something bump into her chest, looking down, Mr slime was bouncing around.
*Panic*
The girl stroked the slime, she knew that this was the result of the ritual. Her auntie had a pet griffin who could talk to people telepathically. She cried when she first met it, only to receive a strong sense of peace emanating from the bird.
*confusion*
“It's okay Mr slime, I won't hurt you” She smiled while petting it slowly, each stroke pushing a tiny bit of mana into it.
*Joy*
“Do you want to be my friend Mr slime?” she received an odd send of emotions from this, she could feel the slime focusing on her. Trying with its limited reasoning to understand a concept so alien and foreign to itself.
*confusion*
*happiness*
Lily smiled at this, she had earned a friend today. She hugs the slime as a blinding light emanates from the two

‘Hungry’ was Mr Slimes first though at seeing these odd squiggles, the experience of something new made little notice for him, food was his current goal. 'he?' he thought, the fact he could think was as odd to him as these squiggles were or the increasing sharp feeling in his jello, 'pain' he came to realise, something else new and it hurt. Soon the pain overcame him, the darkness over taking his newly cognitive mind, another new experience that he hated.
