The Tale of Jerret Finding His Familiar

The lore of Magus Jerret of the Obelisk, or simply “Jerret” as he is known, begins near the center of the Runiverse, an area known for three forests: Hedge Wizard Wood, The Fey, and The Thorn. Jerret grew up in these forests, and knew them well. Always curious with a strong sense of adventure and interest in magic, nature, and animals, young Jerret spent most of his free time outside exploring the forests around his home and observing wildlife. Out of all the animals, he particularly took a liking to wolves.

Jerret always had a fascination for wolves, and felt a strong connection towards them. In a sense, they felt familiar, but he couldn’t quite explain these feelings.

One day, as a young wizard, Jerret was out exploring Hedge Wizard Wood, when he came to the edge overlooking Frog Master Marsh. Out into the marsh sat a large rock. Large and flat enough to sit on, but difficult to get to from the bank. But on this rock out in the marsh sat an Onyx Wolf cub, her eyes locked onto Jerret. Jerret didn’t know how long this cub had been on this rock, or how she got there, but he knew that the cub needed help back to shore.

Jerret looked around for anything to aid in his quest, and found a young tree, which was just long enough to bridge the gap between the bank and the rock in the marsh. Admiring the tree, Jerret proclaimed, “This will be perfect! I know there’s a spell in my Book of Magic to move it into place!” Not yet a master, Jerret found the spell, gave it a shot, and it worked perfectly, if perfectly meant that the tree was turned into a shrub. “Dang semantics,” he said, as he approached another tree roughly the same size as the first. It was clear that he missed an inflection point on a key word of the spell.

With a flick of his wrist paired with precise syntax, the tree disconnected from its base with a click (like the sound made when opening a jar of jelly destined to fill a donut), turned horizontally, and gently levitated into place. This could provide a safe handrail for him to hold onto if he entered the water. There’s no telling how deep the water was at this location.

The cub saw this bridge and attempted to cross before Jerret could put down his book. She made her way onto the trunk and creeped towards the shore. Suddenly, the trunk pitched to the left and sent the cub into the water! A few of the cub’s claws on her left paw held on to a limb as she stayed afloat. But Jerret knew that the limb was new and wouldn’t hold for very long, even if the cub could. Smoothly, Jerret centered himself and executed a spell to pick up the top of the tree so that it stood up on the bank. Once upright, the limb that the wolf clung to snapped, and dropped the cub into Jerret’s arms. They've been together ever since.

The young tree that Jerret placed on the bank of the marsh took root and continues to grow to this day. Its prominence is well known to the locals. The Onyx Wolf cub has reached maturity, but no one knows her age, nor the age of Jerret. Since the day Jerret found his Onyx Wolf, they have grown together and explored many of the forests of the Runiverse. Some say that the !magic Jerret used that day immortalized the wolf, which made it so that she ages with the wizard, but some secrets are better off unsolved.
