Chapter 802 The Son Of Two Gods
-----
"I'm glad you're all right." I sighed in relief. I saw Benladann with Benladra and Kate in her arms, while Miranda was at her side. They were both sitting near the entrance of the castle over a large set of cushions surrounding a small table designed mostly to drink some tea and relax. We decided to have breakfast in there.
"Yeah, we were just as scared as you were!" Sighed Benladann. "Waking up in the middle of nowhere is really… something frightening. But then Fuyu appeared and told me I was actually still inside of her. It seems everything got messier after she turned into a "Divine Realm" or something… I was afraid about Benladra and Kate because both got away as well, but Fuyu found them for me."
"Phew, that's really a relief… Fuyu is there more missing people?" I wondered.
"No, as of now we retrieved them all, surprisingly you were the last because you ended being sent all the way to the farthest area. I can actually travel across the Divine Realm incredibly fast but sadly, I can't teleport around, so even then I had to travel normally to find you." She sighed. "Sorry about that."
"Don't worry, when I woke up you already found me so its alright… I was quite afraid about the girls, but these two seem to be completely okay, aren't you?" I said, as Benladra and Kate were sitting on my lap like two spoiled princesses.
"Baba… Explor?" Asked Benladra. She seemed to want to explore outside.
"Expor…" Said Kate slightly more timidly. While Benladra was more spirited and cheery, the little Kate was more silent and often times rather shy.
"You want to explore outside? Well, we can do that after breakfast, aren't you hungry?" I wondered.
"Beakfas!" Said Benladra raising her small arms. She was such a precious little thing that my heart was melted instantly.
"Beakfa…?" Wondered Kate, tilting her head over new words she didn't understand.
"It is the first food of the day, dear." Said Benladann. "It is yummy and there's lots of meat and sweet things! It is everybody's favorite meal and the most important one, so let's eat a lot before preparing for today!"
"Oway!" Said Kate happily, as I kissed her forehead.
"Wiss?" Asked Benladra, pulling my long hair.
"Okay, okay, I was just about to give you one as well, don't be jealous of your little sister…" I sighed, kissing Benladra's forehead as well.
"I was quite afraid as well!" Said Miranda. "But then I felt the connection with Benladann and quickly got summoned to her side through her Spirit Magic, haha…"
"Oh, you can be summoned from afar, Miranda?" I wondered.
"Yeah! It was a thing she just developed, I think…" Said Miranda. "But I am also kind of helping, I got a Divine Dragon Mark of my own too now, and a Divine Protection, and even a Job and Skills, so that helped Benladann grow stronger as well. It is like a cheat because we still count as one, yet both of us have different Jobs and Skills, so its as if Benladann's powers multiplied several times now… Well, as long as we stay together."
"Y-Yeah, I guess I am quite stronger now." Said Benladann. "The Divine Power you shared with us helped us all increase our ranks a lot, I am already at the peak of Rank 5!"
"That's amazing dear… You two are pretty great girls." I said, petting Benladann and Miranda.
"Y-You don't have to pet me as if I were your daughter…!" Said Miranda, crossing her arms defiantly.
"Haha, come on, you're liking it anyways~" Giggled Benladann while provoking Miranda.
"I-I don't!" Miranda pouted a bit comically.
"Anyways… I kind of want to practice my new Divinity of Cooking, so I'll go cook something for now." I said. "After that we should gather with everybody and make a big conference to announce the changes, alongside what we plan to do from now on… Also, I just met my father and my mother last night."
"EH?!" Benladann and Miranda both screamed at the same time, scaring the two little girls.
"Don't overreact like that! After everything insane that has happened to me, shouldn't it be less surprising?" I sighed.
"Y-Yeah but… I guess I am happy? You always said that you thought you didn't had parents… To suddenly find both of them is surprisingly… amazing, dear! It means I got parents-in-law! And Benladra and Kate can also meet her paternal grandparents one day!" Said Benladann, getting very excited. A draconic tail suddenly popped out of her back and began waving happily… Hey, that's new. I guess as she Ranked up, she evolved and can now shapeshift more dragon parts? Well, she was already carrying the dragon bloodline within her. Maybe she can even create dragon wings like Benladra and fly without the need for my assistance, that would be amazing.
"I guess you're right, it is something pretty amazing… Anyways, my mother is Nifl, the ancient Ice Dragon Goddess and Progenitor of all Ice Dragons, and my father is the Dark Dragon God of Greed, Fafnir, the one that blessed me some time ago and gave me the Dragon Mark powers… It seems I am not only an Ice Dragon, but a Hybrid of Ice Dragon and Dark Dragon… Gods." I said.
"T-That's… Wow…" Benladann said in surprise.
"S-So you're really the son of two gods?!" Asked Miranda.
"This makes Benladra and Kate's granddaughters of gods too! Wow, this also means that the two girls might have gotten so much power from that inherited power? But wait… you always said you were weak when you hatched, why's that?" Wondered Benladann, without shying away from asking every question in her mind.
"That's a long story, but I'll make it short… I had too many Unique Skills and power, so the World kind of… Cursed me. It made me way weaker than I was originally meant to be, but at the same time, it saved me from having been caught by the bastard of Greenwood and the others that serve the past Venerables…" I sighed.
"Huh?! T-This only leaves me with more questions!" Sighed Benladann.
