My name is Jase Fisher and life can take strange turns. I know my life did. I thought I would follow in the steps of my mother and become an alchemist since I didn't enjoy fishing, hunting, or any of the other trades offered in my village, which is known as Beau Ferry. Not only have I been looking forward to being an alchemist, I was looking forward to bonding with a familiar and becoming an adult. My biggest fear is being found unworthy and not bonding at all. If I can just make it through the bonding process, my life would be set even if I bonded with a mouse.

Needless to say, things don't quite go as planned. Soon enough I find myself ostracized and bonded to a pixie. This has never been done before, or at least we don't have records of it ever happening. After all, who wants to bond to something most people consider a mischievous pest that only loves to play pranks?

Soon enough, my new mischief loving bond and I find ourselves on the move. Caravans have reported that the village of Stonecroft up in the Appalachian mountains has needed an alchemist for a long time, and I take the job since my life in Beau Ferry has gone south. It's far from home and family, but it can't be worse than here, right?

Now, we just need to keep our head downs and for me to do what I've trained most of my life to do. Oh, and not run afoul of any pixie pranks.
