As the day turned to night, Kana ended up cuddled up with her daughters in their bed. Each girl was using her belly as a pillow and her tail as a blanket. Like this, they cuddled the entire night through. The next day Kana spent time getting filled in on the things that had happened during this time. Sei and Yuthia both showed up to give a report on the mortal realm.
"So Kiliffia is missing... I guess I will need to take a trip back to the mortal world and take a look." Kana couldn't let Killiffia go missing without finding her. She just hoped nothing happened to her.
"We will continue our search as well. Just head to the forbidden swamp and contact us. We will meet up and tell you our findings." Sei could only say this much. It had been a few years, and they still had no clues to Kiliffia's whereabouts. This was why Tilia had made such a hard decision to cancel the search and had a memorial built in her honor.
"Mmm... I will send a crane once I am there. It will be a day or two before I go." After saying a few more things, Sei and Yuthia returned to the mortal world while Kana fell into deep thought.
Later that day, Creige sat next to Kana and asked: "What are you thinking?"
"I am just thinking, what makes the forbidden swamp forbidden? There must be more to it for not only Kiliffia's father to have disappeared there but for Kiliffia to also have disappeared there as well. Even that pervert high god was with her." Kana wondered just what was in that swamp that made people disappear and made them never return.
"This is a good question. But one, you will not be answering alone. You already disappeared for twelve years, so myself along with the girls, will be going as well. They have grown to be as strong as high gods now and close to becoming named gods." Creige said as he hugged Kana.
"Are you sure? If we bring the girls and something happens to them..." Kana once again entered overprotective mama mode.
Creige smiled and knocked Kana on the head. "You worry too much. I have seen them personally beat monsters much stronger than themselves."
Kana snorted as she said: "Fine! They can go."
The next day was the day her timer was finally up. She stood in front of the mirror in her room and quickly transformed in what seemed like a puff of smoke. Kana stood naked in front of the mirror in her new body that looked no more than fourteen years of age. Her long pure white hair lost the purple highlights but instead had a purple goldish sheen to it as the light reflected off of it.
This was the only difference besides her skin being very fair but still holding a bit of color to it. Her horns, eyes, wings on her back, and tail were all still the same as when she was in her dragon form.
"I got shorter..." Kana pouted as she turned around to find a set of clothes to wear. Luckily her handsome husband always had been on to prepare for things. During these years, he made many different sized clothing from small to huge. So she had a wide array of the same style of clothing she had always worn before ready. She got dressed and walked out of her room to only be stared at by her babies. "Mama is still small and cute!" Rain was, as always, the first to yell out. She ran over and hugged her mama tightly.
"Hehe, mama is now our size." Angelica said as she walked over to give her mama a squeeze. Yana was not far behind, not wanting to be left out.
"It is kinda strange seeing you like this and them calling you mama." Camlia teased. "But now I am not the only one who gets to be looked at in a strange way!" People would always look at her weird when she was out with her goddaughters. People would hear them calling her godmother and then give disapproving stares!
"Humph! Let people look. My babies are my babies. I will never deny that. Just because I look young doesn't mean anything. I will still walk the streets with them as normal and kiss my husband as normal. Someone says anything... I will just!" Kana shook her fist.
Camlia chuckled and nodded her head. "I can't agree with you more."
"By the way, big sister. when will you find that special someone?" Kana suddenly asked, causing Camlia to freeze.
"I do not think that will be impossible. First, look at me. I look the same age as your daughters. And second…. I am a chimera, after all." Camlia let out a sigh. "Let's not talk about this again. It is a depressing topic for me."
Camlia was not against the prospects of love, but anyone who ever took an interest in her would have special tastes or, doing so to use her position as queen as hell. It was also not like she couldn't make herself bigger either, but she did not want to live a lie. She wanted to be her real self.
"Okay, we won't talk about it then. I have another question for you, though, Big Sister, do you know about the forbidden swamp in the mortal realm?" Kana asked.
"Forbidden swamp… No. Was there ever such a place like that before?" Camlia racked her brain but couldn't think of any places like that.
"I only heard about it the other day but it seems to be a place many know about. I will be heading there soon with Creige and the kids. So I ask that you watch things here for me." Kana replied.
"Sure, I do not plan to go back for a while anyway, maybe in a hundred years or so. I just want to continue training Dandan until she finally gains some courage."
