Since that day, people at his school looked at Daniel differently. The ones who didn't know him very well thought that his companion was the evil spirit and didn't want to have anything to do with him. Others from his class, who knew that Daniel wasn't eighteen, looked at him as if something was wrong with him. Even his best friend Peter looked at him as if something was wrong with him and didn't want to hang out with him, even after Daniel explained what happened to Akriel.
Two months passed and Daniel still didn't get a good spirit. He took the card the spirit doctor gave him and read the word from the card. "Okabiah."
"Spirit distribution center. How may I help you?" Daniel heard a woman's voice coming from nowhere in particular.
"Ahh, yes. Hello. My name is Daniel Ray. My good spirit Akriel was taken two months ago and I didn't receive a new good spirit. Can you check the status of my case?" Daniel asked.
"Sure thing hun. Just a sec." The woman said and Daniel heard the sound of tying.
"We still don't have a good spirit that matches your personality. There is a shortage of good spirits because a lot of humans choose them as companions." The woman said.
"I don't want to sound impatient, but I'm turning eighteen in four months and don't have a good spirit. Can you give me any good spirit?" Daniel asked.
"That's not how it works. The good spirit must be compatible with you. If it isn't and your subconscious mind chooses the good spirit for your companion both of you will be miserable for the rest of your lives. Do you want that?" The woman asked.
"No, I don't." Daniel replied.
"Be patient. We will find a good spirit for you. Thank you for calling" The woman said and her voice disappeared.
"Don't worry. If they don't find a good spirit I can be your good spirit." Degdror said with a smile.
"Yeah? Can you give good advice?" Daniel asked.
"Of course I can. I've been listening to the old fart giving you advice for seventeen years." Degdror said with pride.
"Ok then, give me good advice." Daniel said.
"Don't chew with your mouth full." Degdror said seriously.
"It's don't talk with your mouth full, not chew." Daniel said.
"Hmmm... That doesn't make sense." Degdror said confused.
"Try again, but think about good advice this time." Daniel said.
"Ok, here goes. Look before you cross the road." Degdror said smiling.
"Hah! That actually is good advice. I'm impressed. But it's advice for children. Try to give me good advice for a grown-up." Daniel said.
"Woooohu!! I gave good advice. I don't know what it means but it's still good advice. So, advice for a grown-up." Degdror was floating and thinking. "I know! You don't look at the teeth of a horse that someone gave you." Degdror said and looked at Daniel as if a miracle just happened.
"Ok, you were close this time. It's actually you don't look at the mouth of a horse that someone gave you." Daniel said.
"Why mouth? That doesn't make sense. Teeth make more sense because they are ugly. I mean it could work, but teeth sound better." Degdror said.
"What do you think that advice means?" Daniel said.
"That you don't look at the teeth of a horse because they are ugly." Degdror said. "What else should it mean?"
