When Kat step in the Kitchen the next morning, she was surprised too see her Brother in the living Room making sit-ups.
“Hey Brother, what are you doing there? I´ve never seen you doing exercise. Especially not in the morning.”
“I have so much Energy I don´t know were to put it. I was out on the street till about an hour ago, jogging around town, and aren´t even a tiny bit tired.”
“It´s eleven a clock! You have jogged for Ten hours and are still doing sit-ups?!”
“You make it sound like something awkward.”
“It is… Oh, forget it. I need breakfast. Do you want some, too?”
“Sure.”
While sitting at breakfast Dan ask: “Say this familiar business – what´s that exactly?”
“Well,” Kat answered, “A familiar can be of much use for a Witch. At first the bound isn´t really strong, but it grows with the time. The Witch can cast stronger spells, using the familiar as kind of an Energy-resort. That starts just a few days after the bounding. When time goes by the witch is able to borrow the senses of her familiar, even cast spells through him. She is practically able to be on two places at the same time.”
“And they to be humans transformed to animals?”
“No, most Witches seem to use normal Animals, but I wanted something special.”
“You turned me into a Cat. What is special about that?”
“Nothing, but I can turn you in anything, anytime I want. The Cat spell was just an easy one.”
“So, now that you know I tricked you, why am I still a Kitsune?”
“Well, it is right that you tricked me into believing, you poisoned me, but it was set up Mom and she had a good reason, to think that such power at my disposal would be overwhelming. I was never one of strong moral believing. I don´t hold a grudge against you – You on the other hand has all right to be mad with me. I turned you into my familiar just on a whim without asking you. I know now that that was wrong. I think I learned the lesson Mom gave me but a familiar bound can´t be broken, so I can´t turn you back to Human.”
“It´s OK. I think I got a good deal out of this. I´m having more Energy than to know were to put it. I can turn into practically anything, independent of race or gender.”
To prove it he turned himself into an exact copy of his Sister.
“I checked it up in the Internet. Kitsune have great magic abilities. We can turn into anything and are also illusionists. And also you turned me into a white Kitsune. We can live a thousand years, did you know that?”
“Um… no, but can you please turn to someone other? Talking with myself is irritating.”
Dan turns back to his old self. “That better?”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Can you do now something with my eyes?”
“What´s wrong with them?”
“I can´t see sharp and am color-blind.”
“Oh right, you said something like this yesterday. OK, come upstairs, I think there is a spell that can help you.”
Upstairs Kat looks into a book and pointed at one spell. “I think this is the one you need.”
“How can you read this?” Dan asked, “these aren´t Latin letters.”
“Mom gave me the ability to read every Language known to Human. It was a difficult spell she cast on me and I can´t handle it yet, but these spells are easier, and I can cast them on you.”
“Great. Let´s do it then.”
After Kat cast the spell and Dan could see sharp and colors again he asked: “Say, yesterday was your eighteens birthday, but you were here the hole evening, and I didn´t hear the phone. Did all your friends forget your birthday, or what happened?”
“Yes, they did. Mom casted a spell to keep them away yesterday, so I can get used to my powers. Our Parents allowed me to give a party tonight. First I was getting to show them my Powers by turning you into one thing or another, but that´s scratched now, of course.”
“Admit it, you weren`t getting to turn just me a few times, but some of your guests, too.”
“I think no one would have left as they arrived.”
“It´s probably better, not to tell everyone and there Mother that you’re a witch.”
“You may be right with that. I think I call some of my better friends over early and show them what I can, but leave the others unknown.”
“Don´t call your better friends, call your trustworthy. It´s important that they won´t try you to do something unelaborate like you did yesterday with me. I´m sure you can´t withstand them when they do. You were never able to say ´no´ to them when your friends were persistent on something.”
“That´s not true and anyway since when do have to listen to you?”
“Hey, you wanted a special familiar, you get one.” Dan said with a wide grin
With that said Dan stepped out of her room. “I´m going in the wood, exploring my own Powers there. Have fun with yours, if you can´t hold back.”
And so Dan left the house.
What´s next?
