As they walked down the road Sapphire looked overhead up into the sky and observed how the eagle majestically glided while scouting out the area ahead. She was quite surprised how quickly it recovered from the injury sustained when captured. She was fascinated by how the mind of the caster and the familiar are intertwined, both knowing of the others intentions without needing words. And she knew it wasn’t all that pleased with the way it was captured. And it probably also knew that she was thinking about this at the moment. No secrets. The perfect teammate, always knowing what your planning. Fascinating indeed. Also she knew what kind of tactical advantage this posed. Sapphire already had exceptional hearing, and having a pair of eyes in the sky would make it a whole lot easier to pinpoint the exact location of an enemy. She also considered the idea of having the eagle carry her if walking became too cumbersome, but she didn’t want to leave her teammates behind.

It was always one of her more hidden dreams, to soar towards the sky, away from the cruel world that would then lay beneath her. But would she have the courage to do so?

She repressed those thoughts for the moment now moving next to alexander as he spoke.

“I’ll have my familiar go ahead and take a look.”

With that she commanded her familiar to go ahead and observe the fire and nearby area. As she did this a thought crossed her mind. She hadn’t named her yet.

“Ruby . . . I shall name her Ruby.”
‘Hello ruby’ she mentally said to her.
