"Raphael, meet us at the entrance to the castle." Kratos commanded, to which a "Yes, sir!" was given in response. When Rylie put her hands on his shoulders, Kratos knelt down and pushed off of the ground with a lot of force. Soaring up high into the sky, his wings began to propel them forward. As he flew, he began to question if dragging Rylie and Emily away from their homes was a good idea. Then as if out of nowhere, a tugging sensation hit the back of his thoughts.<br/><br/>"Well! as much as it thrills me to know you are learning how to read minds without being told the first thing about it, let's keep that one to a minimum until we have some control over our powers, hmmm?" Kratos said, losing a bit of altitude to get away from the prying eyes of a nearby plane. "Oh and before I forget... You still need a familiar. Got anyone picked out yet?"<br/>__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Raphael was running through a dense forested area, Emily on his back. After zigzagging through the trees for about half an hour, his pace slowed to a walk. "There. I think we lost them." He panted. While walking along towards their destination, he stopped suddenly and said "Emily, we need to talk."<br/><br/>Changing back to his Nekojin form, he had a serious look in his eyes. "What am I. And don't say Nekojin, I mean in terms of my status with Kratos."<br/>__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>"Well this is just wonderful!" Kratos said sarcastically. "Raphael has taken it upon himself to explain the familiar bit to Emily! He better not screw this up!" he murmured as the two kept flying towards a rather mountainous region.
