Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System
chapter-1306

"Wait, what?" Benladann asked. "So… Aquarius'… is Triton?!"

"So he reincarnated himself!" Miranda said. "Well, that's a bit weird but I can understand it… Though, did he lost his memories?"

"No, no, it is not like that." Ran sighed. "It is even more deep than mere reincarnation. Aquarius did not choose to become a different person, nor to once more live. He sacrificed his soul, and his very concept as a being, and all his leftover divine power and draconic energy to become materials. Materials for the birth of his child. Much like a mother gives her flesh, blood, and bones to her child to be born, Aquarius did something similar."

"Well, we exactly don't do it like that…" Benladann said, with a weirded-out face. "But yeah, children inside the womb absorb a mother's nutrients and utilize them to grow their own bodies- Ah, now that I think about it, having a kid is like growing a second body!"

"If you put it like that it sounds even weirder, stop!" Miranda facepalmed.

"Am I mama's second body?" Benladra wondered curiously.

"N-No, it is not like that." I sighed. "Anyways, I kind of understand… But how did he…?"

"He had designed the inheritance for that purpose." Ran explained. "Thanks to your efforts, you brought his wife to his last bits of soul, and with her there, the ritual for the creation of their child was successful, through his own soul and energy, he became his child's strength, body, and power, while the child's mother's blood, and magical power became the child's soul and intellect, the child's mind and personality."

"Amazing…" Miranda said. "What sort of magic is that?"

"A complicated magic that Aquarius was able to unleash only by sacrificing his very soul, cutting the option to come with us in the afterlife." Ran sighed. "Creation Magic, something that the Dragon King will eventually learn and master to its fullest potential."

"But… he didn't reincarnated then?" Miranda wondered. "His mind… Even if wiped out, shouldn't he still be Triton?"

"No, he only became Triton's body, but his mind faded away, becoming memories within the dream realm he left behind, always accompanying his wife." Said Ran. "His wife created the child's soul… Sigh! I told you it was complicated!"

"E-Eep! Okay, I get it!" Miranda cried, hiding behind me.

"Ran don't scream to my daughter-in-law." Mother Nifl groaned angrily.

"O-Okay, fine…" Ran sighed. "Anyways… I was rather sad myself, but knowing how Aquarius was, I know this is what he wanted, to become die and become a piece of a new life, of a child… A child he always wanted to have with her, Sapphire… Now that Sapphire has drank his blood and inherited some of his powers, she might attain some sort of dragon form if she trains such powers, much like your wife, Drake. And with little Triton being a half-spirit, half-mermen, and half-sea dragon, he seems with as much potential as your two adorable little daughters! Hehehe, they'll get competition!"

"This is not some sort of weird competition for whose child is cooler." I sighed. "Anyways… I guess I feel a bit better knowing this truth. I do remember, seeing through Triton's bright eyes, some of the brilliance and charisma of Aquarius, that boy's truly his father's son."

"In the future, once he awakens a dragon form, we'll met him once more." Ran sighed with a big smile. "I can't wait! He will be our first descendant in almost a thousand years!"

"Heh, I guess you're right." I nodded. "I'll also make sure to visit him. Maybe I could even help him train his dragon powers. I hope he can get along with my kids."

"Triton was cute." Benladra said.

"He's very naughty though…" Kate sighed.

I guess they had mixed opinions…

"W-Well, he's just a baby for now, once he grows up, I am sure he'll grow to become a handsome young dragon, no more naughty!" Ran laughed nervously. "S-So I hope you girls… Well, once you mature more, could give him a chance. You know."

"What are you implying?" I asked with a furious glare.

"Oi… You're getting a bit too cocky now." Benladann said angrily.

"T-That's a bit too far, Ran." Miranda facepalmed.

"E-Eh? I-I didn't said anything!" Ran looked elsewhere. "Though, I hope they can think it over! There's so few dragons nowadays… To maintain the bloodline and all… Well, they're rather compatible, no?"

"My daughters will choose whoever they want wen they reach such age, I am not forcing them to choose, nor I'm going to manipulate them into liking someone else." I said with a sigh.

"Ran, you're going a bit too far now!" My mother Nifl roared angrily.

"She has always been an unfiltered woman with her comments." Grandmother Svartalf said.

"B-But come on! Wouldn't it be cute? A-Ah! Imagine the adorable baby that could come out between Triton and one of Drake's daughter, and the power they could inherit…" Ran said.

"[Eternal Blizzard]" Mother said, while narrowing her eyes.

FLUOOOOSH!

"UWAAAAAH! H-HEY! CUT IT OFF! YOU KNOW I CAN'T TAKE THE COLD!" Ran cried. "O-Okay! I'm sorry! I'm sorry for saying that!"

"M-Mother!"

"Oh no, they're fighting between sisters!"

"D-Don't step in, the power of that cold could even freeze our souls!"

"Uwaaah! Mom!"

Looking at the scene, I felt a bit bad.

"It's fine, leave her, mom." I sighed, looking at my mother.

"Fine…" My mother sighed, letting go of her magic.

Ran slowly unfroze her gigantic body, sighing in relief.

"PHEW… Okay, fine… I won't suggest weird things again!" Ran sighed. "Geez, why do I have such stuck-up sisters?"

"Okay you've earned yourself a beating!" My grandmother stepped in now.

"Uwaaah! Okay fine! Stop it! I admit defeat! Geeehhh!" Ran began struggling in the seas as shadows wrapped around her body.

"Nifl! Come, let's freeze her!" Svartalf smiled evilly.

"Fine, let's cut her into chunks for later." Nifl nodded.

"W-Wait! Stop! Is this how dragon sisters play around?!" I cried, trying to stop their utterly insane ideas…
