The elemental titan's form shimmered, its ever-changing composition settling into a more cohesive shape. Though still composed of swirling energies, it now resembled a towering humanoid figure, easily twice Blake's height. Its eyes, two whirlpools of raw power, fixed upon the vampire with unnerving intensity.
"I sense... something peculiar within you," the familiar intoned, its voice a cacophony of natural forces. "A power that does not belong to this realm, nor entirely to your own kind. Curious."
Blake tensed, his muscles coiling in anticipation. "What of it?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady.
The familiar's form rippled, flames dancing across its surface before giving way to crackling electricity. "It intrigues me," it replied. "Perhaps you are more worthy than I first assumed. But worthiness must be proven, not merely sensed."
