"How did you?" The answer seemed obvious, but I had to ask just because you never know maybe she infected my magical ability, though to be fair calling it a her was just short hand, it was an it, it had no sexual organs that I was aware of.
"The vial I handed you, it was my essence, when you took it from the island and your friend ingested it I was freed." I didn't like that somehow Morley ingesting that fluid freed this creature, it seemed like that too would cause issues down the road I didn't anticipate.
"And now you're here with me because?"
"I need a guide to this world and from your interactions with it you seem like the best bet, on top of that I let you live I have to see if that was a mistake or not." I did not like the implication I'd be shepherding this child around, even less so that it could kill me.
"Well if you want me to show you around I can, but you'll have be a little less child, people will talk if they see me suddenly with a child." The creature changed immediately into a younger woman, though I think as if to taunt me, she took on some of my facial features and skin color it was clear she was attempting to look like my own child. I did notice she retained female traits, I guess it did identify as a she (I'd make a joke about the random nature of women, but I already just did so uhh yeah).
"Come Trezlan, show me this world so that I can finally see the thing I was kept from." That line made me afraid again what I had unleashed on the world, but you know it was interesting getting to be the guide to a powerful magical creature all the while hoping I wasn't about to get blown up. Which thankfully I wasn't, or I should say no one was, but you know maybe I should have just left it at the I so as to leave a hook for you to keep reading the next entry to see if someone else did, but cats out of the explosion bag no one got blown up. Notice how I said blown up didn't say no one else got killed... And now I've gotcha!
