[b]Dorm 2[sup]nd[/sup] floor, Room 3[/b]

While everyone was already beginning to get into the swing of things, there was a boy in the dorm rooms struggling to get out of bed. Not because of tiredness, he was a farmer's son, he was used to waking at the crack of dawn. The reason was because of the gigantic summon he had sleeping on top of him.

[color=aqua]"Tohi, come on, wake up..."[/color] Arkadian said as he tried to gently coax the giant cat awake. Trying to shake her awake wouldn't do any good. She was taller than he was just from her front paws to the top of her fluffy head, not to mention she was much, much longer than he was. 

[color=aqua]"Lohi, help!"[/color] He said to the other cat on his bed. Another giant cat, just as big as the other one, thankfully not also on top of him. Lohi looked up at Arkadian and seemed to scan the scene, before promptly settling back down again and closing his eyes to go to sleep.

Nothing else for it then, Arkadian squirmed and squirmed, but it was like being a mouse trapped under the hunters' paws. He eventually wriggled free from the trap.

He looked down, or as down as he could look anyway, at the bed, blanket tossed aside. He didn't need a blanket with these two around. He would've been in a much deeper predicament if he'd managed to get tangled up in the blanket while under the two cats so it was even good that he didn't have it.

Tohi and Lohi were Divine Cats. From legends passed down through his family and his own conjectures coming true as was the way of Invokers, he could only guess that they were what pulled the chariots of some long-forgotten gods back in the past. Maybe it was due to his inexperience as a summoner, or perhaps their nature and pedigree, but Arkadian couldn't unsummon them if he wanted to. He'd tried once, but they simply [i]refused[/i] to be unsummoned. Lohi made it clear that he shouldn't try such a thing again, even if he couldn't speak.

[b][color=black]"Hey, you're going to be late,"[/color][/b] Another voice said from behind him.

He turned, and sure enough, Krampus was there. 

Tohi and Lohi had allowed him a special admission to L'Mordryn academy. Over the last three months, Arkadian had been living there and learning from its teachers. To test his talent again, he decided to try and summon another familiar. If he'd known Krampus would come out he would've tried summoning something else.

[b][color=black]"They're going to run out of those potato snacks I like if you don't hurry up."[/color][/b]

[color=aqua]"Do you even need to eat?!"[/color]

[b][color=black]"No."[/color][/b]

Arkadian stepped back a bit. Arkadian found it really hard to keep his cool around Krampus. He was a trickster spirit which commonly took the shape of a black cat. And sure, while he was a cat, and when he acted like a cats, Arkadian could deal with him, but while he was being a man in the body of a cat he couldn't deal with him.

[color=aqua]"Fine, I'm getting ready,"[/color] He sighed as he made his way over to the bathroom. [color=aqua]"But you're not leaving unless I say so, understand?"[/color]

[b][color=black]"I don't understand how you're planning to enforce that while you're on the crapper but alright,"[/color][/b] Krampus said.

Arkadian shot him a withering glare before slamming the bathroom door shut.
[hr]
Breakfast at L'Mordryn was something he'd had to get used to. Sure, it was a cafeteria like he'd expected, but the variety of foods on offer was just... unreal. Because he'd gotten into L'Mordryn in the way that he did, he sort of forgot that mostly everybody was rich. Well, it wasn't that obvious, just the sheer amount and quality of food blew away anything he'd even seen before in his life. It took a while but he finally settled on a few favorites.

He was on a bad start this morning so he picked up an omelette and two waffles, slathered them in syrup and made an impromptu sandwich. He made sure to grab a few potato snacks so Krampus wouldn't get too antsy.

While Krampus was the bane of his existence... Arkadian still wanted to get to know him better. It seemed like it was clear what he was and how he was, but he had some oddities to him. It was possible for Arkadian to unsummon Krampus but he actively tried to stay. Normally he'd stay near Arkadian but he'd once mentioned wanting to try unsummoning and resummoning Krampus, only for Krampus to run away for a whole day.

He gave up on it and Krampus was back the next morning as if nothing ever happened.

He was a handful, that was for sure. If he took his eyes off him for even a second he'd always end up doing something he didn't want him to.

[b][color=black]"You got some for me? You're the best master ever,"[/color][/b] Krampus said.

[color=aqua]"Yeah, there wa-"[/color] Arkadian looked over at Krampus who was opening his mouth wider than any normal cat could. He was able to partially change his form which he used a lot to unhinge his jaw to eat. It was incredibly unnerving the first few times he saw it but that wasn't the important part.

[color=aqua]"Krampus..."[/color] He said slowly. [color=aqua]"Who's bagel is that?!"[/color]

Krampus had a filled bagel half-way in his mouth. Arkadian knew it wasn't his because it was filled. Krampus could take a bunch of forms, even a human form but he couldn't cut a bagel like that if his life depended on it. He had next to no coordination.

[b][color=black]"I don't know who it was but it's mine now,"[/color][/b] He replied, resuming his previous action.

[color=aqua]"No!"[/color] Trying to scold him was usually futile, but it was how Arkadian dealt with cats to he couldn't help it. He pushed Krampus' face back with one hand and tried to hold the paw he was holding the bagel with back. In response, Krampus extended his fingers and deposited the entire bagel in his mouth before swallowing.

[b][color=black]"Mmmmm, Salmon and cream cheese. Nice combo,"[/color][/b] He said, licking his lips.

So this was how the day started, huh, losing to his own cat familiar.

[b][color=black]"How're those potato snacks?"[/color][/b]
