Yeah didn't Nyra used to be a Spirit familiar? She seems fairly tuned to Air now. Because we have been training Air ourselves? Shrugs.
Yeah in Vampire the Masquerade at one point you can save the life of a young woman by feeding her your blood, but that turns her into your ghoul, your familiar. She is really annoying but keeps giving you stuff like the best body armour in game that you cannot get anywhere else, and kidnaps people and locks them in your bathroom for you to feed on. And the just when you are used to her and stop sending her home she gets brutally murdered right in front of you. It is such a shock and painful punch in the gut. But few things have ever felt so satisfying as unlimbering my fireman's axe and redecorating my apartment with the dudes that did it. The most brutal storytelling I've ever experienced in a computer game.
Anyway, explore further?
