An Elf Called Fatry

But They Only Work for One Mage!

Thank you all so much for the votes! ❤️ Sorry this chapter took so long. I was having a bit of writers block... that was until I figured out I was taking a small portion of it in the wrong direction.

Finral passed out on one of the couches after he and Yami got back from their location marking and gambling trip, the next afternoon.

"What's the matter with you?" Yami asked.

"Way... to much... mana," Finral panted. "Need... sleep... now."

"Stop complaining. If that little trip back here is to much for you go do some training."

"What?!" He said lifting his head off the couch.

"You heard me! Push past your limets, kid!"

"Seriously?!!"

Keep in mind you did say we'd do some research today, Fatry reminded.

"Right," Finral replied outloud, without realizing it.

"Right what?" Yami asked.

"Nothing! I just remembered that Father asked me to come home once a week for dinner. I wanted to go a bit early and go to the family library for a while. However, now it looks like I'll have to wait a bit for my mana to recover."

That's not a lie is it?

Sadly, no. Father did tell me to come home for dinner on Fridays if I maniged to get into the Magic Knights, but they have other plains this Friday, so I have to go today. I'm not sure why though.

"Alright then. You should have said something sooner. I wouldn't have made you teleport us back."

"Why do I get the feeling that you wouldn't have cared and are just saying you wouldn't have even though you would?" He said sitting up on the couch.

"I find that offensive," Yami said sarcasticly.

"Don't act like I don't know sarcasm when I hear it! My little brother's favorit thing is sarcasm! Well that, and Cherry Terts."

We could go right now.

"I don't know what your talking about. I wasn't being the least bit sarcastic. I am genuinly offended."

I don't have enough mana, Fatry, Finral thought before repling to Yami. "YEAH RIGHT! I'll be in my room waiting for more of my mana to return." He opened a small portal, just big enough to walk through, to his room as Fatry replied, You might not, but I do.

How are you going to use it?

We can 'switch places'.

We've only done that a few times and I was asleep each time, Finral thought as the portal closed behind him. Can we even do it at will?

I don't know but we can try. Can't we? Fatry asked as Finral sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I mean I guess so. I don't see the harm in it. But didn't you say something about not wanting other people to see me looking like you?"

I did. But I think it migh be fine once in awhile as long as we don't get caught.

"Maybe... Alright. We can give it a try. But what do we even do?"

I don't know. May"be if we both.... Oh... Yeah I guess that was the solution," Fatry said looking around Finral's room.

Sooo all there is to it is for both of us to want to switch at the same time? Finral asked. This is kinda weird.

"Seems that way. I know," Fatry chuckled. "Being in a body that someone else is controling does feel weird at first. You'll get used to it."

So now that we got that out of the way.... What did you mean by 'me looking like you'? Don't you look like me at all?

"Well, technically, yes.... Here, let me show you," Fatry replied walking to the mirror on the wall. "See. This red tattoo has something to do with the reincarnation magic I think. I mean it has to because I didn't have it before. And because I'm an Elf, not human, your ears get a bit pointed when I'm in control of your body."

Yeah, I guess other people seeing that would be a problem, Finral chucked.

"I'll take us to you're room, it's the only place I can take us because I never actually left your room, and we can switch back once we get there."

That would be a good idea. Father would probably freak out if he saw you.... Actually Mother might freak out worse then Father would.... I-I mean Liliane.

"You call your mother by name?"

She's actually my step mother. My birth mother died before I was even a year old. (I'm guessing, seeing how Langris is a year (give or take a few months) younger.) Liliane gets upset when I call her 'Mother'.

"That's not right. She's married to your father, right? So why would that upset her?"

I don't know.... We should get going though, Finral said changing the subject and Farty could tell he did not want to talk about it let alone think about it.

"Yeah...," Fatry replied holding out a hand. "Hmm?" He said glancing down to Finral's grimoire, "that's weird. Your grimoire seems to be reacting to my mana."

That doesn't make any sense.... Grimoires only work for one person.

"I know.... Do you mind if I try something?"

No, not at all. If it's reacting to your mana, I'm curious what else it might do for you.

"Me too."

While you're at it, do me a favor and convince it to give me a new spell. I haven't had any luck the entire time I've had it.

"Just because it's reacting to my mana doesn't mean I'm going to be able to actually use any of your spells. Let alone, let me learn new spells for you," Fatry chuckled as the grimoire flew open for him.

It doesn't hurt to try does it?

"No. I'll see what I can do, but I can't make any promises. After all this is your grimoire. Alright, then," Fatry replied opening the portal and stepping threw it into Finral's room at House Vaude.
