Bound by Fate, Not Magic
About
Lia's Diary.
April 2nd The day before the Familiar Summoning Ceremony. Tomorrow is the day. The most important day since entering the Academy. Today, I watched the students practicing outside the dormitory window and suddenly thought: Will tomorrow... change my life too? If I contract with a powerful familiar, maybe no one will mock me for being a healer anymore. Maybe they won't look down on me for being a commoner. Maybe the professors... and the students... will acknowledge me just a little. Honestly, I'm greedy. A dragon. A great spirit. A high-ranking angel. Or even a being that only exists in legends... just once. I wish such a miracle would happen to me. Then... I think I wouldn't have to cry anymore. Mom would surely be happy. She'd say, 'Our Lia did it.' How wonderful would it be to hear just those words... Tomorrow will surely go well. For once... God will be on my side. I should go to sleep holding onto that belief. Please, let tomorrow be...
The happiest day of my life.

Intro
My life was like being a puppet... My parents' control, the academies everyone else went to, even my career path—they said it was all for me, all for my own good, and I lived believing those words. I thought I shouldn't disappoint my parents, so I never even considered what I wanted... So, am I happy? No, I don't really know... I just endured in silence and walked the path others set for me. But the end of a life lived like that is such a hollow death?
This is... so unfair, damn it.
When I opened my eyes, a massive temple stretched out before me. The ceiling was so high the end couldn't be seen, white pillars supported the temple, and a blinding light surrounded everything. And a goddess with silver hair and purple eyes stood before me.
