Chapter 1001 Divine Weapons Naturally Get Along With Each Other
-----
"Now that we are done here, is there any other weapon or armor you want me to make?" Wondered Rakasha.
"H m m ..."
At the end, Rakasha had gained a new breath of air after evolving into a God and wanted to forge a lot to prepare for the battle, but because we don't use normal armor as our own scales and skin is hard enough, weapons are better in that regard. Miranda was happy with having half of Hel occasionally whenever she was fighting by herself, although I asked her if she wanted a weapon of her own a few times and she insisted she was fine.
My two daughters were very interested into this weapon business though, wandering around the furnace and looking around. They were both quite strong so the heat was no problem for them, not like I left them touch anything hot anyways. They wanted something, but both were too small to wield anything that was strong enough for them, they lacked both height and physical strength- well, Benladra is probably very strong physically but still, I would rather not have her wielding a dangerous weapon she can't control.
I would have to first wait until she can walk in two legs completely well, and let her grow a big, bigger too, and then maybe begin teaching her about wielding her weapon and all of that, which will definitely take a long while… yeah, without a doubt.
"No weapons for now, you're too small." I said.
"Buhh… I waw wepon…!" Benladra said while pouting. She was getting better at speaking now. It was clear she was very intelligent and even had a mind of her won with her little won selfishness, greed, and also cuteness.
Just thinking about my little girl growing up kind of breaks my heart and relieves it at the same time. It means she might stop having to use diapers and also it mean she'll stop being my baby… Ugh, it is hard being a parent, isn't it? Well Kate's still there, she doesn't use diapers and might remain a baby for a while longer as she's very young compared to Benladra, who should be a year old soon.
Right… I need to prepare her a birthday gift, shouldn't I? Dragons develop very fast once they hatch from their eggs. Benladra "hatched" from Benladann so she had been developing quite quick, not even a year old and she can already talk and voice her own opinions, although still lacking in vocal articulation. But she'll get through it as we teach her how to speak.
"Okay, maybe for your birthday…" I said. "But by then you'll have to master walking in your two little foot, and also speak a bit better. Okay?"
"Oway!" Benladra felt pumped up, all excited. "I wiw wearn!"
"That's the spirit! But it is "I will learn."…" I said.
"I wiwww… weawr…" Benladra tried to speak but couldn't, she was struggling quite a lot.
"Hahah, no need to force yourself dear." Said Benladann.
"I wiw wearn tshoo…" Said Kate.
"Oooh! Well done, Kate!" Benladann said while clapping.
"She said it better or not?" I wondered.
"Ah, it doesn't matter, as long as she slowly learns." Said Miranda while shrugging.
As we made our way back to the backyard, Skadi, Uller, and Hel were conversing with one another and having a fun time. Hel had been rather timid until now, but she was told by Benladann and Miranda to be more open, so she decided to greet me and then talk with my weapons.
The three were now in their humanoid forms, Hel also could take one, something she couldn't before. Her appearance was also human-like such as Skadi and Uller, but her skin was instead as black as charcoal. She also had long silver hair and pointy ears like those of an elf.
Rakasha said she resembled a Night Elf, a race of elves that live in Svartalfheim and Alfheim. She generated a beautiful purple dress and walked barefoot, she had a graceful and timid beauty, and had a red eye-shaped jewel in her forehead, the same she had in her weapon form.
"Your look is deadly and it rocks, I love it!" Skadi said.
"I-Is that so?" Hel wondered timidly.
"Yeah! How about we go split a mountain as a challenge?" Wondered Uller.
"Split a mountain?! W-Will they allow us?" Wondered Hel, seemingly quite concerned about Uller's insane ideas.
"Of course I won't! No weird things, Uller, got it? We are about to do a lot of important things, so stop this and leave it for another day, okay?" I sighed.
"Okay…" Uller sighed. His appearance changed a bit as well, mostly his hair turned white and his eyes red. Now that he replaced his Ice element for Dark, his clothes turned black as well.
"For now let's have some food together." Benladann said.
"Yeah, in about an hour we should get going outside. Everything shall finally begin…" I said.
I quickly made up some delicious food, as I tried out some new stuff such as wet rice named risotto, which was delicious. Grilled meat was also the obligatory preparation, the children love meat the most, even Kate devours a lot of meat despite never going to the bathroom. Spirits seem to be able to eat and convert everything they eat into energy without waste, it is pretty convenient of a skill! Even I as a dragon god has to go to the bathroom at least once a day, I've got healthy intestines I guess. Some people do it once a week, I can't really understand those. They should really drink more water…
Anyways, as we ate, the girls seemed pumped up about the cooking competition, and Benladann and Miranda, alongside Benladann's parents who came here, were all discussing about the food we were about to make while I was feeding Kate with a spoon.
"Here's the plane, Kate~"
"Ahhh…"
Kate opened her little mouth as she received the small spoonful of risotto, which she munched slowly.
"Is it good?"
Kate nodded happily while she ate the rice… Aahh, she's so cute and small and beautiful and precious! I ended hugging her again for the third time since we started having lunch. I've also hugged Benladra just as much.
However, as I hugged her, Kate hugged me back… and then I suddenly felt a strange… spark.
FLASH!
My vision, my entire mind suddenly changed, as countless pixels appeared before my sight.
What the hell is going on?!
