"Your mother?" Amethyst wondered, tilting her head. "Wait... is she...?!"
"Yeah, my mother is Nifl, the Primordial Dragon Mother of Ice Dragons!" Drake nodded. "I know itās rare nowadays for a young dragon like me to be a direct descendant of the primordial mothers, but it happens sometimes. Sheās still alive after all, and dad just told you how they had another baby, my little brother, we can meet him there! Iām sure youāll love him, heās really cute."
"O-Okay..." Amethyst nodded, as she quickly went to the Realm of Ice Dragons with Fafnir and Drake, leaving Svartalf behind.
"Take care!" Svartalf said, waving her hand. "Please consider what I told you, Drake! I would love to bear your child!"
"E-Enough!" Drake screamed out of embarrassment, closing the gate behind him and appearing in the snowy fields of the Ice Dragon Realm. "Phew... I like my grandmother, and I love her, but sheās a little weird sometimes."
"I completely agree! Your dad is also really weird too!" Amethyst said, hiding behind Drake as she didnāt want to be close to Fafnir.
"My dad?" Drake asked. "Really?"
"T-Thereās a misunderstanding! I was just telling her you two were a good match!" Fafnir sighed. "Please donāt get mad at me again..."
"Ah, well, just donāt do it again then..." Drake rolled his eyes. "Anyway, um... sorry for yelling at you, it wasnāt my intention to scare you, I got too emotional there."
"Ah, you really did! I should reprimand you and ground you for that but... thereās no point, youāre already an adult, haha..." Fafnir sighed. "Just donāt do that again, okay son? I love you dearly as well... And I also understand your pain... I really do, but you canāt let your emotions take over your judgement." He patted his shoulders.
"I know... sorry," Drake nodded. "I really mean it dad. Do you need something? Potions, Soul Gear, anything?"
"Nah, Iām good," Fafnir said. "Iāve been growing stronger on my own, Iām cultivating nonstop... well, whenever I donāt have to take care of your baby brother, haha."
"I see," Drake nodded. "Alright, letās go to momās ice mountain then."
"Yep! Letās go," Fafnir said. "Come on young lady! Ah, donāt be so scared, Iām not a bad uncle..."
"Hmph!" Amethyst glared at him angrily, hiding behind Drake.
Drake sighed, flying into the skies, with his father, the two passed through freezing cold clouds, arriving at a large frozen mountain.
There, they entered through a large cave, suddenly hearing the laughter of a little child.
"Heheh! Grawr! Raarr! Heheh!"
"Coochie coochie coo! What a cute little pup...!"
"Gyaar!"
As they walked inside the cave, they found Drakeās baby brother playing with his big mama, as she gently and playfully tickled his belly with her long claws.
Nidavellir was giggling and moving his little legs around as he was resting over the cold, icy floor, belly up, while biting his mama as she tickled him.
He was so adorable that even Amethyst had her heart melted.
"Aw, so cute!" Amethyst said. "Is he your brother?"
"Yes, thatās Nidavellir," Drake nodded.
"Oh! Honey, youāre back with our dear Drake?" wondered Nifl. "Iām so happy to see you! How are things going out there?"
"Pretty alright for now," Drake said. "This is Amethyst, my new disciple, a girl that..."
Drake went on for a few minutes introducing her, and then Amethyst got more comfortable once the little Nidavellir got curious about her and started playing with her, calling her "big sis".
"I see, so thatās what happened..." Nifl nodded. "Quite a lot of things... but Iām glad youāve overcome these challenges, my dear son. Are you staying for dinner?"
"Ah... well, I got my family waiting... no, how about I bring them over? Yeah," Drake nodded. "Why not right?"
"I agree, bring them here!" nodded Fafnir. "Iāll get to making dinner right away! Nifl, help me out dear."
"Of course my love," Nifl nodded. "Amethyst, can you take care of my little son?"
"Eh? Sure..." Amethyst nodded, as Nidavellir played over her legs, she happily squeezed his fat belly, his scales were so soft because he was a young dragon pup.
"Aw, arenāt you a cutie patootie?" Amethyst giggled, playing with the baby. "Yes you are! Yes you areee!"
At the end, Drake brought along his family from his Divine Realm, and they all had dinner together, eating delicious meals cooked using the ingredients harvested from the Dragon Realms, rich in Soul Energy.
While eating, Drake and his family explained to his parents what they had gone through so far and were able to catch up pretty quickly.
Nidavellir had been growing more quickly than his parents expected too, and he had been having quite large growth spurs, going from a tiny dragon pup to a rather large dragon pup.
Although still a pup.
Unlike Drake, who had the System-induced Evolutions to rapidly grow, Nidavellir may take a couple of years to truly reach Drakeās height. Unlike his children, who were all hybrids of other races, it seemed that his only true form, his dragon form, remained small and cute for a while.
Meanwhile, girls like Benladra, Kate, and the boy Drakda could unleash their adult dragon forms rather quickly, although Drake still remembers that Benladra had a baby dragon form before fully maturing it now that sheās a teenager, and as for Kate, she was a special case as a Half Spirit, it seemed she could freely shapeshift, grow, or shrink her own body.
As for Drakda... well, he was the true surprise, even as a baby, his dragon form is gigantic, and thereās no other explanation than due to his unique existence as well, as being a half dragon and a half... well, the many things that Miranda is, such as a Chaos Dragon, a Chimera, the Mold Alien, and a Demonic Spirit all combined together.
"I see, so you want me to grant you a part of my powers..."
Drake explained to Nifl the idea he had, and that each time the Primordial Dragon Mothers gifted him some of their Primordial Energy, he would gain more power, and his body would become a stronger vessel.
