James stopped a moment to think about how best to answer Artemis's question. What did a Paladin's Familiar do? Well, according to the texts that he'd been reading, some only appeared when their Paladin was in a battle, others hung around whether there was a battle or not and yet others were incredibly fickle, appearing whenever they wished and disappearing at the most inconvenient times, such as in the middle of an important battle. So, with that in mind, James answered. [color=Navy]"Well Artemis, that is up to you. You can only appear during times of battle and conflict, you can appear and leave whenever you want, or you can hang around all the time. I am alright with with whatever you choose."[/color]

While he waited for Artemis to reply, he got a glass of soda and took a sip, already moving on to the next spell he had in mind. It was an attack power boosting spell called Might of the Almighty, and it gave a massive boost to an ally's attack based spells at the cost of making their defense much weaker than normal. Of course, there was likely a spell that worked conversely of that, but he hadn't found it yet.

Damian let Penny take his hand and lead him further up the mountain, taking the time to clear his head of the memories the place had for him from the recent past. Somewhere on this mountain rested the blade he'd used to mark where Hemlock had died, vanishing before the group in a bright white flash of light. [color=FireBrick][i]I intend to make good on my promise to you Hemlock, but first I need to get stronger and faster, so we don't risk a repeat of before.[/i][/color] Shaking his head, Damian smiles as he looks at Penny. He didn't need to worry, he had a hell of an influence for staying true to his promises now.

After about an hour of walking, Damian stopped Penny and set his pack and Durandal to one side, summoning his Ares Blades and sliding into a ready stance. [color=FireBrick]"OK, here's a good spot to start for the day. You wanna go first or should I?"[/color]
