In the search of the espar

A little story following on from a previous comic, A Special Lunar New Year. It also features old characters from my first comics^^ I hope you enjoy reading it and see you on Saturday^^

__________________________________________________________________________

It has now been a month since Dakari, Dehlia's father, crossed paths with his Espar, in the form of the fairy Cadnawes. However, she had fled, but without being able to leave the city due to the connection, though weak, but real, between the two. He tried several times to capture her, but the little fairy always managed to escape. His wife, Malika, refused to help, saying that it was part of his training. He then tried various traps, but to no avail, Cadnawes always managed to get away. One evening, out of ideas, he asked his daughter for help.

-If I help you, mom will be furious, you know, and I don’t want to be punished, and neither do you, I think. Our couch isn’t the best place to sleep.
-Very funny, at least you’re lucky with Myriad.
-That’s true, it’s now that she’s giving me trouble, especially since she met Didi…
-Didi?
-Aurélie’s Espar, and don’t ask her, mom told her too.
-Damn, this hunt is starting…
-Dad?
-I’ve figured out how to get her, thank you, sweetheart.
-Uh, you’re welcome…

Dakari went to his office, and with his limited magical powers, began to trace the route the little fairy took and her habits. He also looked into magical traps, trying to distinguish the real from the false. He spent three days observing his "prey" and decided to launch his attack at the following dawn. He left the apartment quietly and headed to the old Bisci factory. He couldn’t help but smile, remembering that it was here he met Malika, the one who changed his life. Convinced it was a sign of fate, he redoubled his efforts and saw the little Cadnawes sleeping. He approached as quietly as possible, and once in range, he set the trap which closed around the little fairy, completely surprising her. He was about to rejoice in his victory when smoke rose from the ground and revealed the genie Maekusa.

-Get me out of here!
-Hummm
-I warn you, I still have one more trap for you…
-That won’t be necessary, human.
-Excuse-me?
-What? You’re not going to betray me?
-Ah, little Cadnawes, I did tell you who he was.
-I refuse to serve a human!
-It’s not really serving, but more of a symbiosis, according to my wife and…

Dakari began to shiver, just like the fairy, under the amused gaze of the genie.

-What was that?
-Simply, your bond has just been strengthened, you are now connected.
-What? No… I don’t want to stay trapped in this cage…
-I doubt that’s the human’s intention.
-Exactly, my daughter’s and wife’s Espars are free.
-You see, you’ll be able to continue wandering with me, I’m sure this kind human will let you.
-Uh, yes, exactly.
-Well then, release me.
-I’ll do it, but no jokes.
-I swear.

Dakari opened the cage, and as soon as it was opened, the fairy tried to escape but found herself stuck after a few meters. Turning around, she saw a red thread coming from the man's hand and rushed in rage toward him.

-Is this how you trust me?
-Is this how you betray me at the first opportunity?

-Come now, that wasn’t nice what you did, Cad.
-Hmph, you just got proof that this human lied, transform him and send him far away.
-First, he didn’t rub the lamp, and second, you lied too, so you’re both on equal terms, but you’re right about one thing: I’m going to send him far away, and you too.
-What? But why?
-Just because, hehe, tell me, where do you live?
-Uh, 13 Avenue of the 37th Division, 3rd floor left.
-Perfect.

Maekusa raised her arms, and with a spell, she sent Cadnawes and Dakari to his apartment.

-How do I…?
-Ugh, damn, wait until I come back, you’ll see.
-Calm down, little fairy, you’re not going anywhere until we finish creating this bond. I’ve been looking for you for so long.
-Ugh, fine, so what do you want to know about me? My measurements? My type of guy?
-What? No, I’m talking about magic. Thanks to you, I’m finally going to be able to access my full potential.
-Hmph, wait a bit…
-What are you doing circling around me?
-Simple analysis. Indeed, you have some potential, but we’ll need to change something.
-And what do you want to change?
-Your outfit, seriously, this is not possible.
-Well, stay here, I’ll change and…
-No, not like that, you’re a wizard now. I’m going to teach you how to cast a spell.
-Really?
-Of course, you’ve been looking for me for that, haven’t you?
-Indeed.
-Good, now follow my instructions, try to feel the magic.

Dakari closed his eyes and concentrated. He quickly felt as if he were surrounded by warm liquid, like a cocoon.

-Good, you seem ready now. Repeat after me: tnemegnahc eléferr niua etuep noitùe à euqn'et tiuqeuelac e tnilucam ecnesse nom è ànoca ,tros ec rap eD.

Dakari repeated the formula without hesitation and felt the magic emerge around him, surrounding him like never before. He was so overjoyed that he didn’t pay much attention to the change in his outfit or even his body. The effect of the spell lasted almost 30 seconds before fading.

-Good, you can open your eyes now…
-Alright and AHHHHHHHHHHH!
-HAHAHAHAHA

-What did you do? Undo this right now!
-Oh, come on, as a man, didn’t you ever wonder what it felt like for women?
-That’s not the point, I am…
-Honey???? Are you okay? I felt magic coming from here.
-Oh crap…
-Interesting. Say Cadnawes
