3038 Father of Fire (Part 2)
"Gentor, who is this guy and why did you bring him to my home?" After dealing with Salaark and Leegaain long enough, no matter how old he was, no Dragon could impress her.
"Ba?" Elysia asked, trying and failing to break out of the crib.
Valeron the Second joined her, afraid for their mother, but not even Origin Flames could put a dent in the Doomslayer crib. Yet the artifact reacted to the children's distress by aiming a battery of plasma cannons at the intruders.
"No!" The old man staggered back like he had been slapped. "How can you call me bad, Em'har? I'm your uncle by blood, brood, and heart. Not like that scum! He's afraid of you and only seeks to exploit you."
He pointed his finger at Kaz who felt dying again as Dragon Fear gave him a stroke.
Kamila recognized the draconic word for loved ones and noticed that only Kaz was affected by the bloodline ability. Even though she appreciated the effort, she put herself between the Dragon and Kaz, saving his life again.
"Sis Kami, allow me to introduce you to Valtak the Fire Dragon and current Father of Fire." Gentor said. "Valtak, this is Kamila, Elysia's mother, but we call her Kami."
"Correction. Only family calls me that and I don't know you." She offered the Fire Dragon her hand which he shook with the gentlest touch.
"Then I'll do my best to earn such honor." Valtak gave her a deep bow but his head was still higher than hers.
"Why did Gentor say the current Father of Fire? I thought it was Leegaain's title." Kamila asked.
"It was, back when grandfather called himself Agni and the Fire Dragon bloodline had yet to be born." Valtak explained. "After that, he passed the name and title on to the Father of All Fire Dragons who, before his death, passed the title on to the new patriarch.
"The Fire Dragon bloodline is one of the most ancient not like Golden Dragons." He pointed at Gentor who like the late Agni was Leegaain's direct descendant. "I'm the patriarch hence as long as I draw breath I'm the Father of Fire."
While they talked, the farmhands got back to work after snapping a few photos of the Dragons with their Tablets. The magical beasts yawned and resumed their napping while Kaz ran for his life as quietly as he could to not draw attention to himself anymore.
"What the fuck are we even here for?" Galan Sohl, the current Captain of the Queen's Corps stationed there, took a sip of relaxing potion to calm his nerves and prevent another stroke.
"I hear you, brother." Locrias patted the backs of the unit's members while handing pastries and a strong liquor spiked with hot tea. "Believe me, this job doesn't get better with time, but you get used to it." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"What's going on here?" Lith came out of the barn's door, conjuring Valia, Trion, and Varegrave as he walked.
They resided inside the Void Sigils on his wings except during battle and whenever he was in Lutia. Their respective families had moved into the houses neighboring Lith's in order to spend as much time as they could with their loved ones.
Solus was just one step behind Lith and looked even worse than him. They had half-closed bloodshot eyes due to the prolonged migraine and labored breath. Lith and Solus moved with a slight stagger, like they had just returned from a double shift in a mine and could barely move from fatigue.
