I
stare at the cat. The cat looks away. I laugh, it cries. I eat, it
drinks. I drink, it eats. I walk, it stops walking. I stop walking,
it walks. It is my anti-familiar.
What
is an anti-familiar, might you ask? It's... the opposite of a
familiar. This is why it is a cat. I hate cats. I am allergic
to cats.
NOTE:
I do NOT,
at all, hate cats in real life!
It
feels foreign to me, and I feel foreign to it. But it always follows
me around – if I stop walking. But why? Because, it is an
anti-familiar! We are still connected.
But,
you may wonder, why would I choose to have an anti-familiar. Well,
that's the thing with anti-familiars... You don't
choose them. They choose you. And I had the bad luck of finding one
in my cellar. Apparently, my grandpa locked it away in a box. I guess
even he couldn't handle it. He told me he got it from a merchant who
gave it away for free... and of course my grandpa, as a child, was
foolish enough to accept it.
Unlike
familiars, anti-familiars instantly forget about their masters, if
they were able to pass it away to a new owner. Think of them as like
a bag of bad luck tossed throughout the world by idiots who were
tricked into getting one. And I am stuck with Rimidalv, my
anti-familiar cat...
“Why
don't you get rid of it?”, some of you may ask. Well, I tried. A
lot. Like 500 times... until my grandpa told me the bad news: you
CAN'T. Unless you wait 3 years, until you can trick another idiot to
take it... Seriously?! I have to stick with Rimidalv, the cat. For
over 3 years. And don't even try to kill it. It dies, you die. You
die, unfortunately it doesn't die. Ever.
So
I have dug up some research, and there are only at most 536
anti-familiars in the Human World. Originally, there were 600, but
there were 64 deaths recorded. And the guys who killed them will not
share their secret...
Everytime
I go to sleep, Rimidalv sits near me and hisses at me. I've gotten
used to it, but recently it started meowing... a lot. It does
anything in its power to annoy me. And it's doing a great job. It is
killing me. It is the absolute worst thing in the universe.
I
hate Rimidalv...
