A Boy and his Tiger


Round 2: Summoner and Witch


Inspired by the comment that an Eidolon is your inivisible friend.

Their son had always been a bit ... odd. He prefered talking with the toy tiger his uncle had given him when he was five to speaking to other people. Even odder was the distinct feeling they got that he was being answered.

Imagine their shock when, during a trip from their village to another town to sell some goods, the toy tiger sprang to life and defended them during a goblin attack.
