I can prepare..."</b></p>
<p>Oria graciously accepts the opportunity to save her own resources. <b>"Hmmph. Sure, whatever, if you insist. But if the days drag on, I have my own protection."</b></p>
<p>On the first day of the journey, that previous conversation suddenly snaps back to Oria like a slap to the back of her head. <b>"Oh! My own protection. Right. My familiar."</b></p>
<p>The shaman opens an inner pocket of her robes and allows her familiar to slither free. This violet-tinted gastropod is six inches in length, covered in pale eyes that blindly glance every which way. Tendrils of varying lengths protrude from its back like the petals on a blooming flower, with a finger-length tendril protruding from its back with the estimated length of a man's arm.</p>
<p>Before they set out, Oria finds a discreet corner away from the eyes of whatever unnamed servants happen to be with them. In relative privacy, she meditates upon this creature, channeling her magical power as though it were some kind of conduit, eventually channeling some of it back into the mutated slug. While she's at it, she takes her time to envision the element of fire. Of its heat, its warmth, it's radiant glow and the life it can nourish. And of the dark, all-consuming tendrils that encircle the very idea of that element to claim it as her's.</p>
<p>Yes, this will do nicely.</p>
