Valtak narrowed his eyes in surprise as he sniffed at the pups.

"What in the Great Mother's name is going on here? Another new species? And more hybrids at that?" He didn't know whether to be more impressed by the ragtag bunch of creatures that lived in Lutia or by the unmitigated gall of Protector's children.

"Back in my day every creature, living or not, cowered in fear at the sight of small Wyrmlings and worshipped Elder Dragons as gods." The pups, instead, barked and sniffed at him, their tone warning the Wyrm that he was a guest in their turf.

"Sorry for the loud welcome, Valtak." Lith stepped forward with Tista walking right behind him. "This is my sister, Tista Verhen the Hekate. Tista, this is Valtak, patriarch of the Fire Dragons and current Father of Fire."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, young lady." Valtak's voice was like the rumbling of a storm and every one of his words caused a gust of wind that forced adult men to bend down to resist its violence.

"The pleasure is all mine, my lord." Tista gave him a deep bow.

'I know that Lith is almost as big as this guy, but my brother's presence is nowhere near this imposing. Comparing myself to Lith makes me feel weak whereas compared to Valtak, I look and feel like a child.'

"Where are we going?" Lith unfurled his wings and started growing in size but the Father of Fire stopped him.

"Not so fast. I'm here to meet the hatchlings."

"You mean Elysia and Valeron the Second?" Lith asked in confusion.

"No, I mean the hatchlings." Valtak scoffed. "Since I'm already here, I might as well meet the offspring of the entire family."

It took Lith a while to convince the parents since the kids needed no encouragement at all. A Dragon was cool, but a bearded Dragon was even cooler. That and the fact that Selia's children were already out with him was a great motivator.

The Father of Fire introduced himself to all of them in turns. He sniffed them as they approached, in the attempt to discern their bloodline and potential.

"You are a true Wyrmling, boy." He said to Aran who puffed his chest out with pride. "And so are you, girl. If you two Awaken your bloodlines and I'm still alive by then, I'll gladly give you a few lessons about your heritage."

Valtak double-checked Teryon to confirm the faint yet dominant Dragon smell.

"Yes! I'm special. I knew it!" The little girl clenched his fist in triumph.

"As for you lot, you smell more like a Phoenix. I'm sorry."

"Mom!" Falco, Lenart, and Leria pouted in unison like it was Rena's fault.

"It's not my fault!" Rena was hurt by the disappointment she saw in their eyes.

Only Surin took the matter with calm, mostly because she had no idea what the fuss was about.

Bloodlines and magic were irrelevant to her. She only cared about the sparkly red scales of the Dragon and the funny colors that sunlight generated when reflecting on the scales' surface.

"Can I caress you?" Gilly, Locrias's daughter, asked from behind the safety of her father's back.

She was a teenager so Varegrave's kids considered her the spokesperson of the younger generation.

"It's more like touching, child. I'm not a pet. That said, my answer is yes." Valtak had a hard time feeling imposing with four furballs climbing, biting, and licking at him.
