Benladra and Kate stared at one another rather intensively! If it wasn't for Kate's skin color being pure white unlike Benladra, the two would easily pass as twin sisters! However, they were only sharing the same father, as their mothers were very different. One of them was my beloved Benladann and then the other was… the System. I don't really know how it happened, but apparently the System has developed something of a "soul" of her own as well. A soul within my soul… how strange, isn't it? Or perhaps… the "soul" of the System is actually the power and memories of her true self? Could it be? Wait… I get it now! I get why the System made Kate! It is for her to one day she would be able to awaken her mother's memories!
That thought left me speechless, as I ended completely ignoring Benladra and Kate staring contest. Benladann was growing nervous as well, sweating cold sweat, while all the monsters in the room also remained in silence, staring at one another… They were happy to see me again, but they were also nervous to do anything. I was as well after I realized I had delved too much in my own thoughts, as the two girls were slowly, very slowly, emanating their divine auras… and it was making the entire room's air become thin, while the room temperature got colder than it already was.
"Can you two girls greet each other better? Benladra, this is your little sister Kate… Kate, this is your big sister Benladra."I tried my best to make things up without trying to force them, the two girls calmed down as Benladra seemed a bit shy. It seems it was just a misunderstanding! …I hope. The two glared at each other for a little bit more before Kate decided to break the ice.
"Bewawa!" She said, trying to say "Benladra" but failing quite miserably. She was still cute thought, enough for Benladra to blush a little bit.
"Wate." She said, trying to say Kate as well. The two were not so far apart in age to be honest, Benladra was born over a month ago anyways, it wasn't as if they were years apart, and Kate will probably grow quickly.
The two girls suddenly giggled together, as their cheeks got all red. They were so adorable that I felt my heart warm up deep inside. It was such a bliss to have two adorable daughters now… Hahh… System, I will take care of our daughter with everything I have.
"Alright! It seems that everything resolved itself quite quickly then! Let's spend the rest of the day explaining what's Kate to everybody… it's gonna be arduous." Said Benladann.
"Yeah… But let's do that for now." I said. I accompanied Benladann and we walked across all the interior of Fuyu. It was a tiring day where we had to present Kate to everybody as my daughter. It would had been easier to ask Kate to turn her skin blue and pretend she was Benladann's daughter... But I really didn't wanted that, so I had to explain as short and easy as possible what she was. This was the reason why I gathered everybody in a single room to explain it. I had to be quite meticulous and used some contract magic so this truth is never revealed to the outside world though… but things went well.
I had to quickly construct a new cradle for my new baby though, as I doubt Benladra would had been okay with sleeping at the side of Kate. I put Kate's cradle to my side, while Benladra's cradle was to Benladann's side. The two girls slept after a few minutes of fairytales and a fulfilling dinner. Kate could eat just fine and seemed to have a bottomless pit of a stomach, much like Benladra……And at night, Benladann user her womanly charms to completely subdue me into her submission. Of course, I used magic to block any sounds (or views) from our daughters, so that's already secured. It has been a while since we did it, so she was very eager. It was a good night.
As Drake slept, he found himself within a completely dark space. It wasn't like those dreams where he was called by the Fox Venerable or anything else. This was a more unique dream. As he dove through the darkness and quickly crawled his way into somewhere… he found himself inside a vast and dark cave. Wherever he looked, he found large crystals and mushrooms illuminating his way through this place. The more he walked, the more of this dim light guided him through a single route which didn't diverged at all.
"My descendant…"
"Come to me…"
"You're… the one…"
"That will pass on my legacy…"
As Drake walked through this cave, his humanoid body shapeshifted into a small ice dragon, and slowly began to grow through all the stages he evolved into. He felt confused, strangely confused of what was happening and who was speaking to him…
But this voice… it somehow really sounded like somebody he knew. It was someone that he had heard before in his dreams, some long time ago, when he just got his Divine Blessing, which has accompanied him all the way to this stage. And now that he was a God, he had not lost it, the Divine Protection had merely become a part of his power now.
"Come to my side, my son."
When Drake reached the end of the cave, what he found was something gigantic. A being covered in millions of black scales. A creature if incredible strength. An entity that was praised as a Dragon God… it was gigantic, intimidating, and his various, red-shot eyes glared down at Drake… but there was no hostility on his words, but a tenderness and also… somewhat, an expectation of the future that was to come.
"You're… Fafnir, right?" Drake asked, finding himself on his ultimate dragon form, a form he had never taken before.
"Indeed. That's me. The Dragon God of Greed, Fafnir!"
