Kaz crouched next to Neb, feeling his pulse. It was weak but steady. Aerynkoryk, will he be all right? The raven hopped towards her. I'd say... The raven didn't finish his sentence. Kaz heard a hissing behind her. She spun around, to see a mind flayer. Desperately trying to recall a spell, any spell, she felt the beast's psionic powers like a hammer between her eyes. She stumbled, feeling the creature trying to take over her mind... suddenly darkness seemed to flare from her hand. The demon... the mind flayer must have disturbed it. She heard a sizzling sound. Her head clearing, she looked up to see the mind flayer lying stunned on the ground. Its skin seemed to be boiling. Kaz winced. We have got to get out of here now. Hoisting Neb over her shoulders, she silently said, Aerynkoryk, can you take Zephyra? Her familiar cawed, grasping the small homunculus. Kaz walked slowly, trying to keep her balance. Neb did not weigh much, but she was not strong either.
