The Wizard - Story Unknown

Once upon a time in a distant land lived a boy named Timothy, who was a wizard's apprentice. 

His master, Magnus, was very powerful and very very old. It was an honour to be his student, although some things were more difficult than others...

One day, as they were managing spell scrolls, Timothy asked his master: 
'Could you give me the seal?'
The old wizard seemed surprised at first and then fell deeply into his own thoughts. 

Timothy got angry at Magnus for ignoring him and they both did not exchange a word until the next day.

In the morning the old wizard was unusually cheerful. 'I have something amazing for you!' he said when they finished their breakfast. 

Timothy curiously followed Magnus to a room that was rarely used. Inside he saw...

...a seal. 

'Yesterday you said you wanted a familiar, right? So I got you one! I think you're advanced enough to take it. I'm still not sure why you picked a seal... But I hope you two will get on!'

Timothy was startled. He didn't want a familiar yet and surely he didn't want a SEAL! What was it good for?!

But as time passed the young wizard and his familiar developed true friendship. 

Magnus was very proud of himself. He also grew older and older and his usual tricks to keep himself young no longer worked. 
He would send Timothy out to the woods to collect some herbs for new spells.

One day Timothy went into the woods by himself. His familiar had to keep Magnus company because he felt worse than before. 

During Timothy's absence a terrible thing happened! The evil mage Mortus attacked the old wizard and defeated him!!! 

When Timothy arrived he found their home ruined and Magnus dead among the bricks. There was no sign of his seal. 

The young wizard decided to go on a journey to avenge his master and save his friend.
