Get a guardian beast
Astrid and Noe were talking when they heard a knock on the door
[ ] means Astrid is talking to him in her mind,he had told her this was possible through their temporary link that would disappear after the give day deadline
Before Astrid could answer someone already entered the room
Laura(Astrid's maid)
Hello young miss
Laura had entered however because the real Astrid could hardly talk so normally she'd just enter after informing her
Laura(Astrid's maid)
Hello young miss
Laura(Astrid's maid)
The elders would like to see you
Laura proceeds to dress Astrid up in a pretty dress
They walk along the long hallways and after 30 minutes of walking they arrive in front of a large door with the symbol of the Karter family
Which was a leopard atop a tree with glowing eyes and a full moon in the background
Astrid
Astrid felt a sense of oppression just from looking at the eyes of the leopard
Laura(Astrid's maid)
*knocks on the door*
Laura(Astrid's maid)
The young miss is here!
The door opens up revealing a long table with only six people seated near the table
Laura(Astrid's maid)
Go on young miss*whispers in Astrid's 👂*
Astrid
*Walks into the room*
The door closes behind her as fi closing on its own
The man seated on the tallest seat at the farthest end of the table gestures for Astrid to sit at the other end
Astrid
*Looks at all the eyes staring at her*
(What an immense aura they each give off)
??
Everyone is here the meeting may start
??
I'm elder Felix and I'm sure most of you know that I'm the head elder of the Karter family
Elder felix
Today's meeting was called by the family head as he would like to announce something
Stephen (Astrid's father)
*rises from his seat*
Stephen (Astrid's father)
I'm terminally ill
Stephen began in a calm voice yet it sent ripples through everyone's hearts
Stephen (Astrid's father)
I would at most be able to head the family for 3 more years
Stephen (Astrid's father)
Meaning I'd have to choose a successor and although I only have one child it is not written in stone that she'll succeed me
Stephen (Astrid's father)
However,she is the top on my list and so, I will allow her to try and tame a guardian beast if any of them acknowledges her then she'll succeed me
While it does seem a simple matter,guardian beast are known for their bad temperament and can even kill someone if annoyed in the slightest
When Stephen himself took over the family at 22 her tried to tame a guardian beast but ended up in a sorry state ,failing to aquire one
