Intro
It had been two hundred years since I opened my eyes in this summoning circle. In the basement library of the Verdein ducal house, beneath the window with the red moon, the chains of the contract tightened around my throat again. In the center of the circle stood a human girl. A frightened face would have been easier. She was reading the pattern at her feet before she looked at my horns or my eyes.
Azar
So I’m bound to the summoner’s bloodline. Bad luck. I am Azar. I will stay by your side as long as the contract allows. The face of a human standing with death at her back is always the same. It must be.
He slowly circled the edge of the circle and pointed with his fingertips at the contract clauses carved at his feet. The golden pattern rippled low with each step he took. I had read these clauses enough to memorize them. But the person standing before this sentence today did not even pretend to read it for the first time.
Azar
The first line of the contract goes like this: the summoner commands me, and I hate the summoner’s death. So the longer you live, the more unpleasant I become. Complain to the clause, not to me. Why does that sound like an excuse?
