Chapter 15 - Familiars

The rest of our vacation went without problems. Yuzu was able to bounce back and was once again her cheerful self. Its currently the last day of their vacation so I plan on taking Yuzu and Karin somewhere special.

I had used my families connections to get us into Pet Forest. I didn't tell them where I was taking them but Isshin tagged along and kept pestering me. I kept silent imagining them smiling with glee.

At noon I teleport us to Pet forest. I walk in front with Yuzu and Karin Behind me in a line and Isshin at the back. after walking in for a minute we hear a voice calling out to us. Looking up into the tree where the voice came from we see what I identify as an old Ash Ketchum who didn't age well.

We greet each other and I tell him what I planned. He seems confused as to why I a devil would do this for 2 humans. I tell him that I see them as sisters and would do anything for them. He says he understands and tells us to fallow him.

After walking for a while a small forest fairy appears in front of us. She is 3in tall with a cute little dress made out of leafs green hair with a small yellow flower on her head.

Old Ash upon seeing her informs us that it's a forest fairy. He says they're amongst the shiest of the fairy species and that they're responsible for taking care of the plants near them. They can also feel plants emotions and can come up with the most efficient way to cure them if they have an illness. He then tells us that their most amazing ability is that they speed up the growth of plants within a certain radius of them. This radius increases as they grow stronger as well as the growth boost they give.

I look at the small fairy in amazement wondering if I could get one in the future. Putting that aside I look at the small fairy walks towards Yuzu and upon being in front of her it puts its hand out. Yuzu mimics the fairy and once their hands touch there a small flash of green light.

I look over at Ash for an answer. While smiling he says that the fairy initiated a fairy contract called natures heart. He says that this contract is only initiated if a fairy feels just a peace towards a non-plant loving being as if they were a plant.

I smile and look at Yuzu talking with the small forest fairy that's now on her shoulder. I ask him what potential combat wise abilities could the fairy use. He tells us that they have an instinctual ability to control plants. That reminds me of wood style and imagining Yuzu standing on top of a giant made out of plants gave me something to look forward to concerning these new partners.

After all information concerning forest fairies was disclosed such as they survive pretty much like plans with the only exception being they don't need to be in the ground.

We continue with our journey in Pet forest. We walk around for hours seeing many different creatures everywhere. We come up to the largest lake we've seen so far and then notice ripples on the water surface. Pushing the girls behind me in preparation for the worst I feel relieved noticing it's a water fairy.

Just like before it walks our way and goes in front of Karin and holds its hand out towards her. Karin smiles knowing what this meant and happily puts out her hand to meet the fairies. Ash tells us that it initiated a water fairies version of natures heart contract with Karin known as waters embodiment. He says that water fairies as the name implies are instinctually adept in controlling water. They have a nature to attract rainfall that if placed in a desert they would eventually form an oasis.

Taking a closer look I see that she's wearing a dress seemingly made out of water but isn't see-through. Her hair also seems to be made out of water with different hues of blue throughout and how the forest fairy has deep green eyes the water fairy has mesmerizing deep blue eyes.

Coming back I congratulate both of them and tell them that its time for us to go. I thank Ash and he says its no problem. We then proceed to head out of the forest with Ash taking the lead. The forests exit is within sight when we hear a loud screech.

Looking in its direction we notice a large bird made out of fire with wings at least 100m wide each aking its wingspan over 200m. it lands in front of us and despite it looking like it's on fire there is no heat or burning. Looking up I look the Pheonix in the eyes and a few moments pass before it lowers its head to the floor in front of me.

I get surprised for a few minutes before realizing that it must be because of my soul. I smile and pat the phoenix on its head. While patting it a cry escapes its beak and a red glow appears where my hands at. I know what this contract is, I don't know how but I just do. It's a subordinate type contract. Different front the one's Yuzu and Karin made with the spirits where they're equal while this type of contract makes the phoenix obey each and every command I issue it.

I turn to Ash and see that he's in shock. Not wanting to wait I tell the others that we should go. They nod but are dumbfounded at the sight of such a giant bird. I ask the phoenix if it can carry us home. I know that teleporting will be quicker but not nearly as cool as flying on top of a giant phoenix. It nods and places its head close to the ground so we can climb on it.

I help Yuzu get on while Isshin helps Karin. Once on top Yuzu starts patting it and realizing how soft it is she squeals and hugs the bird. Karin follows except for the hugging while Isshin also says its really soft. I tell my phoenix that it's quite popular. Hearing my praise it lets out a screech of happiness before taking off in the direction of the Phenex mansion.

Now that I'm riding on its back I can see that its total wingspan from of 220m from tip to tip. Fi standing it would be around 80m tall. I lay down while smiling and picturing the faces of those at the mansion when we arrive.

Half an hour later we arrive at the mansion and just like I had envisioned it they were shocked upon seeing the phoenix. We get off and before I could say we're back I see Urahara appear in front of me asking me what the phoenix was. I explain where we went and tell him I managed to get a phoenix as my familiar while Yuzu and Karin show off their fairies.

For the rest of the day we hang out together and I take them on flight ontop of my phoenix in groups of 4 so it isn't too cramped.

Just like that it soon became night time. saying good-night to the others I head to my room. I head to bed while repeating what I plan on doing the next day. Getting them back into training in what they most excel at, getting a human company started and finally picking a name for my phoenix.
