Syryn was deeply bothered by a problem that he foolishly hadn't thought about before that moment. He hadn't realised how easy it was to kill him. All one had to do was remove Syryn's transformation amulet while he slept, and the rest would be done by the water. He would drown to death before he even made it out of the palace.
The mage stood before the tall mirror to better look at his amulet. The silver-coloured necklace was snug around his neck. If Syryn had been the maker of the amulet, he would ensure that the necklace was spelled and crafted to withstand accidental removals.
The mage reached back and felt around the loop that secured the necklace around his neck. He was horrified by how easy it was to remove the necklace. Being completely in the dark about the mechanism of the necklace, Syryn decided to leave it alone when he felt the urge to check how fast he would transform after removing the necklace.
