(Oh no, ummm...)

"Wow, Sybille. You're pretty big, aren't you?" I noted with a light tone in my voice. I pondered for a moment, and looked up at her. "I suppose you need a lot more food than I do, hmm?" I had noticed her long claws and sharp teeth on the first encounter, and supposed she was a carnivore. "Do you need to hunt soon?"

(I really want to ask to ride her but it seems so rude so I went with that xD)

I face palmed myself for the terrible "quick thinking." I went and thought about my memories for a moment, then replied with, "They were tested for a certain stew. A way to create new life. The Sorceress wanted to create a companion- a familiar, if you will."

I don't suppose there are any cases where that rule has been broken, has there?

Shadow Laughs lightly.
I figured you would hear about a case like that happening, I've heard sound travels faster underwater.
*joke*

"The snakes would help by having their- er- energy and venom converted into a vapor. If it were powerful enough, that vapor would cool into a liquid and become the 'blood' of the Familiar. However, as they were both tested, it wasn't strong enough. So to fix that problem... Well, let's just say she put a curse down on them, mainly by poisoning of the food. The poison slowly attracted their souls together, and soon enough, when they were drugged by a final poisoning, the Sorceress carefully removed their heads from their bodies, and sewed them together on a new body. It worked, as their souls were combined and couldn't separate."

But perhaps if one had a strong will, they could just break the "rule" themselves?
