Kate thought her shell looked kind of weird, but she guessed that wasn't really the point she was supposed to be getting at here. Deciding she should really get a move on, she raised her wand and pointed it toward the turtle. She traced her wand in the shape of the letters in her name and pretty soon, her full name was carved into the shell.

Well, that was done. Now what?

Oh, right. The blood or the oil? Kate immediately wanted to go for the blood, because her mom was a Dragonologist, and Kate thought the connection was cool. Kate collected the blood and poured just a bit of it onto the shell. She watched with slight fascination as the blood trickled across the shell.
