Luke
Luke was sitting on his bed, wondering what on earth was going on. In an hour his family had found out that he could speak to fish with his mind, but his sister still hadn't taken any time off of her riding lesson to speak to him about it. Suddenly his dad popped his head in the door.
"Hey son," Colin said as he peered into the dark blue interior of the room, "There's someone here to see you"
"Oh great" Luke muttered under his breath as he stood up and followed his dad out of the door, down the stairs and into the dining room. Luke looked around the room and saw a middle aged man with small round spectacles and thinning brown hair.
"Ah" he said in a tired voice "So this is the young man in question." The man held out a piece of paper that looked suspiciously like a formal document.
"Sign here please" he said as he handed it to Luke. Luke looked over at his parents for conformation and they both nodded. Luke picked up a pen from the table and printed his name on the line. The middle-aged man took the paper back and placed it beside him on the table. He pointed at four things sitting on the table; a mouse, a lizard, a raven and a crystal.
"Now...Luke isn't it... I want you to place your hand over one of the objects, any one, and move it around in a circle so that it hovers over each one in turn. Do you understand?" Luke nodded and placed his hand gingerly over the raven who looked up defiantly at him. Then he moved over to the crystal. Again nothing happened, Luke moved his hand over to the mouse and then moved his hand over the lizard. The Lizard started to chase it's tail and flick out it's tongue and generally get exited, Luke reached his hand down to calm it and found that it sprang up and sat on his shoulder.
"It appears that you are a companion to sea creatures and reptiles" The Middle aged man said as he gingerly picked the Lizard off of Luke's shoulder.
"What?" Luke asked as he looked over at his parents
"You see Luke," The man said "Oh, my name is Cuthbert Groob, you may call me Mr Groob. In the past people have hunted Unicorns and Dra-"
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa" Luke said raising his hand in the air "They don't exist. These are make believe fantasy creatures"
"That is what we convinced mortals" Said Mr Groob "It's the perfect defence for them"
"Are you telling me that Unicorns and Dragons and Fairies and Stuff exist?" Luke said incredulously
"Yes, I suppose I am, though fairies don't. That would be silly" Mr Groob said as he stood up and checked his watch. "Now, Mr and Mrs French, I Have another appointment with an eight year old girl who has told her parrot to attack her brother" And Mr Groob left the room with Luke's mother leaving Luke and His dad alone in the room.
Luke looked up at his father,
"Sirens exist, don't they" Luke asked "You're a-" he struggled to find the right word "Companion to them aren't you?"
"Yes Luke, I am, Maybe one day I'll introduce you" Colin said as he sat down opposite Luke.
"What do we do now?" Luke asked his Dad
"Tomorrow is Sunday, We'll take you down to the Stables." Colin said as he looked up at his son with smiling eyes
"Dad?"
"Yes Luke"
"Kira doesn't ride horses does she?"
"No Luke, she's scared of them,"
