Chapter 254: Mother and Daughter Talk.

Chapter 254: Mother and Daughter Talk.

Kriiash kraf shkiee kel! Pfeitrei, sister, oh, where art thou and thy insight, for my eyes weep at my ignorance.

Melloxtressa was crying and speaking carelessly as she downed another shot of sake before pouring more for herself. This by itself wasnt strange a woman got drunk and continued drinking without restraint. However, the problem was how her silver powder had frozen the area around her table and was starting to affect the rest of the hunters guildhall.

Argh, Yorshka, stop her already! Her Imperial Majesty will destroy my guild and the whole city if you dont! Muraina shouted at Yorshka before turning her head around to the adventurers and guild staff. All of you, if you dont want to freeze to death, get the hell out of the guild!

With that single command, everybody quickly left the guild except for a specific few people myself along with Saori, Yorshka, and Rajah.

Muraina then erected a few [Air Shield]s around me and the others while Saori told Rajah to jump back into her shadow. Yorshka then sent out her scales silver powder to form a shield to ward off the freezing aura of Melloxtressas powder. Once she made sure everybody was safe, Yorshka [Gale Steps] towards the drunk dragon empress.

W-Whats going on?! I questioned Saori and Muraina about the situation.

O-Oh, well, you know, we were just having some fun Saori stumbled over her own words before Muraina immediately skipped over it.

The four of us went out to drink to cheer up Her Imperial Majesty. Dragons cannot hold their liquor very well and, while Yorshka assured us it would be okay, this disaster happened. Thats about it, Hestia. So, before your mo Empress Melloxtressa destroys the city, could we rely on your help to calm her down?

Your dragon mother drank herself into a depression because of what you said to her, and now please would you cozy up to her so she doesnt kill everybody and usher in an ice age? was what I understood. Was any of this really my fault to begin with? Yes, while I could have said things more nicely, she couldnt have expected that I would just jump into her lap and we would play mother-daughter, right? A ridiculous notion.

Still, it wasnt like I couldnt see her anguish.

M-Matriarch! Yorshka shouted, trying to gain Melloxtressas attention.

Hmm? She placed the bottle of rice wine on the table and looked at Yorshka.

Your daughter! We brought your daughter, Matriarch! Yorshka pointed at me, prompting Melloxtressa to turn to me. You wanted a proper talk with your daughter Hestia, right? Well, here she is. So, please, it is getting too cold for everybody to handle. I ask you if you could reabsorb the released powder.

Her pleading seemed to have gotten to Melloxtressa, as the powder around seemed to have calmed down, but any progress was stopped as more tears began to drop from her eyes.

M-My whelpling. Young one, look, shes supposed to only be a year old, but she-she already has a humanoid form. I didnt get the chance to help her form it, huec! she lamented. A whole year! A whole year of her entire existence and I missed it all! I wasnt even there. All the preparations and all I did was sit in my cave, weeping and feeling sorry for myself instead of turning the planet upside downlooking for her.

Urgh, please, stop.

The moment I heard that, it struck the daughter inside me. I could sympathize with her, since those words came from a genuinely worried mother, something that, if I were her daughter, I would appreciate very much. Well, the problem for me was that she actually was my mother.

I felt bad for her. She was drunk, right? So these words were her actual emotions and feelings without any kind of filter, and it became harder and harder to watch as she continued drinking. But, on the other hand, all of this was cause of me. She began to feel all this sorrow starting from when I went missing, and during the entire one year Ive been in this world, I havent even given her or my dragon father a single good thought.

In fact, I was mostly apathetic to anything concerning them until Yorshka fully explained to me about Melloxtressa's situation. Cernust told me just how much of an uproar my egg being lost was to the dragonewts, but that was more politics than personal feelings. I was one of their princesses, so patriotism was their motivator and not any personal connection to me.

It was an Oh shit, I shouldnt get Artorias involved thought. I was more worried about Artorias getting hammered down by zealous dragonewts if something were to happen to me; although, now that I thought about it, my actions didnt exactly take that worry into consideration perfectly. Maybe I was just the type of girl who didnt think of the consequences and just went along with what I wanted to do. King Drangleic did scold me after I entered Shaturein, endangering myself in the process.

Just like how I couldnt make my legs walk to Melloxtressa. I wasnt brave enough to confront her.

And she saw this. She saw me hesitate. She saw me being unable to act. Her shoulders dropped as she placed her rice wine down, before recalling all the powder around her, literally reabsorbing it back into her scales.

I understand The temperature of the guildhall was steadily warming back up by the outside heat of a summers day, but to me, the room still felt extremely cold. Like the awkward silence after your parents lectured you for misbehaving. The inability to talk back, since you knew you did something wrong.

Matriarch? Yorshka blurted out as Melloxtressa stood up from the table, unsteady on her feet. You should probably sit and drink some

No, there is no need. Ill be retiring. I think I shall sleep for a bit. With those words, Melloxtressa made her way outside of the guild. Although it was clear she was drunk, she walked with a certain amount of grace, as if to say this was nothing.

When she passed me, all I did was give her a small glance, just enough for our eyes to meet. I could see frustration and sadness just from how her eyes wobbled. The fact I turned away and didnt speak probably stung her even more.

I was hurting her.

Once I heard Melloxtressas wings flap and fly off, the three older women quickly turned to me. Was it disappointment I saw in their eyes?

Just say it already. I am a bad daughter, right? No, I was just a bad person overall. Thats what you three want to say, right? Just spit it out, I know it already I told them before slumping down at a nearby chair. I was so done with this day.

Saori, Yorshka, and Muraina just looked at each other, but didnt say anything. They simply kept silent, as if they were willing to let things cool down for a moment.

Hey, Hestia-san, why did you dine-and-dash like tha Uhm, what is with this atmosphere? It was Tatsuya and Kyouya, who both barged into the guild.

Oh, thats right. I forgot to pay the tavern for the food and drinks

Haaaa, Muraina let out a sigh as she gestured something to Saori and Yorshka. Sorry, you two, the guildhall is closed for the moment. Mind going outside with me for a bit? Without any complaints, both boys were escorted from the guild with question marks over their heads.

Did you take Rajah in as part of your shadow pack? I didnt know he arrived with Tamae-chan and the others, I said, seeing as neither Saori nor Yorshka were about to speak.

Yeah, Rajah and the rest of his family; you remember his mother and siblings. They seemed to have evolved since we last met. Rajah and his siblings still needed some time to grow up, though, Saori explained, going along with my icebreaker. They were quite excited to see you again, Rajah in particular. But, when they saw you in that state, they decided to stick around, and that was when they met the garms. They got pretty jealous.

Rajah instantly decided that he wanted to become a shadow pack member, even demanding it from Saori like a spoiled child. Although it technically meant Saori was his tamer master now, he did it since he learned of the dangers I faced which caused me to fall unconscious. He wanted to become stronger at all costs to defend me.

Rajah had just finished his assimilation, while his family is still inside my shadow. All four are taking a few weeks, since it seemed the protective blessing Aurena gave them was still in effect, right up until they became a member of the pack. I presumed that, since they will be taking on your [The Light]s blessing, Aurena probably removed the blessings since they weren't needed anymore Are you willing to bring them along, Hestia?

I dunno. Can I protect them?

That question this constant damnable worry. Am I strong enough to protect everybody? I honestly wasnt sure after what the demonkin just did. Not only did they murder Eshe and the Griffon King Assurfel, but they also managed to bring in that monstrosity. I even learned afterward that Melloxtressa was the one to actually kill the geisenlarg king.

It was frustrating. My powerlessness was gnawing at me, and that was on top of how much Eshes death was killing me inside. Once again, I felt weak. When I told Saori and Yorshka about this, they couldnt help but shake their heads.

Yorshka came over and brought a chair over to sit next to me. Hestia, you are being too hard on yourself. Why are you trying to put all the responsibilities on your own shoulders? You might be a dragon, but even a dragon cannot carry the planet. You expect too much of yourself, and the moment you face a wall, you lose faith in yourself? That is not the way.

Shes right, Hestia, Saori agreed. It isnt wrong to ask for help, Ive told you this time and time again. This is why Tasianna and I were working so hard! Why I was so very frustrated when you didnt even think of evolving into a B rank because you thought we couldnt handle your berserk form if you evolved. You keep looking down on the people who can help you. Always thinking everything has to be done alone.

She was right. I did think like that. Before I evolved into a B rank, I thought Saori and Tasianna were too weak, since I had that moment after Shiterno merged my skills without my consent, causing my body to go out of control. If it weren't for Master Kush, they probably would have died.

I was only made aware of how asinine my thinking patterns were after they defeated me in a duel with specific rules. And now, look at how both of them developed. They were a far cry from how they used to be.

I think you can agree that Ive gotten stronger, no? I managed to kill a pretty powerful lich nearly on my own. Saori looked at me while boasting of her accomplishment. Yes, it wasnt a perfect kill. I still have a long way before I have a better understanding of my current body. But you can't deny that it was an improvement. You saw what Tasianna could do. Even with that, we, as a party, werent enough to perfectly slay that monster. If you are talking of protecting others, even I am not strong enough to protect you yet, Hestia.

After letting me digest those words, Saori continued, Ive said it before, Hestia. You think a lot, not in a positive way, but in a negative one. You worry about everything, as if you are expecting the world to judge you for every little thing. As if you are going to an audition and you have to make sure every single step and action is perfect. You arent, Hestia. You arent a trainee anymore seeking the limelight to make your parents proud, all while hiding your frustrations under a mask meant to force back your tears. You really aren't. The moment you stop thinking about the perfect performance, the more you can think about the next concert. Do you understand what Im trying to tell you?

I nodded. Saori made me wonder if I had developed at all. Had I not grown up at all, or did my personality development regressed since Eshes death?

Im sorry. For what I said before. That was an incentive for me to say that you didnt know me well. With me out of commission, I cannot even fathom what you have been doing in these three weeks, and I still said something so terrible to you, I apologize for what happened when I woke up.

Saori sighed, showing a wry smile. Yes, apology accepted. However, can you promise me to stop thinking that you have to deal with everything by yourself all the time? Its patronizing to Tasianna, Ellaine, Grimnir, and me for everything we did to contribute to our party. You hear? I dont like repeating myself twice, and you probably dont want the same lecture a third time, right?

I nodded. I promised to never be overly selfless to the point of being selfish, again.

Yorshka caressed my shoulders, seeing me contemplate Saoris words deeply. Our party isnt strong enough, thats what Saori said. If you think that shes correct, then its fine. There is so much to change and develop inside a party compared to yourself. More variables to change. Heroes do not become legends by being alone, Hestia. They become legends not only through their sweat and blood but also through the people they meet on their journey to the top. Tragedies and hardship may happen, but to learn how to handle them and use them as the catalyst to your success is the key here.

Stay strong Eshes last words to me.

I stayed strong when I fought the geisenlarg king, and I managed to help everybody push him back, but I didnt have the strength to protect everybody nor to kill it outright. If I reflected on the battle, I believe there would have been better ways to go about it. With a huge list of attacks to choose from, I most likely chose the wrong ones.

There were ways for me to get even better. Upgrade spells and attacks, develop better tactics, or even become a better leader to for my party. Repetition was the mother of learning. If I just gave up, I could never progress further, which means tragedies like Eshes death could happen again. It could happen to another person I was close to.

Besides, you have me now, Hestia, I raised my head to Yorshkas words. Tamae already said it, we will be joining you. I am part of the package.

But what about your duties as a Knight of Aurena? I asked.

Pah, do you really think I cared about it? Hestia, this was just the job an old friend asked me to do. Too bad for the salary, but its not so important considering what we will be doing. For example, the money the kingdom offered as a reward for saving them was huge!

I turned to Saori. Offered?

I declined it. With how the kingdom is looking and what their plans will be in the future, they need it far more, whereas we can just travel around for more funds. We made a ton of profit from your concert through pastry sales alone, dont you remember?

Saori rejecting money? Damn, am I the only one who is regressing in character development?!

See? No problem, right? And, if you really want to be specific, there is another person you can add to our party at this very moment. Who will make the most direst emergencies into a cakewalk, so long as she can stay awake long enough to act.

The answer was obvious.

My dragon mother. Everything led back to her.

Yes, please. I know I am saying this as a member of clan Nordor, but please talk to your mother, Hesta. She loves you. All she did while we were out was talk about you. When you were unconscious, all she wanted to know was who you are and how to properly talk with you. She even asked about your previous life, and how your real mother treated you. We helped her practice being a mother, although, uhm, her talents for housework or even cooking were not sublime.

Which further explains why she and Saori got along so well. They had three weeks to get to know each other.

I need to get stronger.

I clutched my hands into fists, before pushing myself up. I began taking large whiffs of air, quickly identifying the sweet smell of a dragon. I activated [Mana Eyes], detecting a trail leading out from the guild to the top of Griffonpeak the peak of Wintertalon. I deactivated [Mana Eyes] the moment I had her location, not daring to keep it active any longer and strain my eyes.

See you later, I nodded to both of them, before Rajah jumped out of Saoris shadow and made a small growl. Yes, yes, see you later, too. Ill greet you properly once were back home.

I exited the guild and spread my wings, telling Tatsuya and Kyouya Im sorry for leaving them with the full check and that we will meet again, before flying up to the tops. I continued following her scent, until I finally made it to the peak, where I saw Melloxtressa sitting on a rock, gazing at the blue sky in solitude.

Empress Melloxtressa. I knew she didnt want to hear that, but I couldnt just call her mother.

Yes, my little whelpling? The tears she just shed were still there, visible for me to see as she showed no signs of cleaning them. She looked like she still was slightly tipsy.

Im sorry, I forced myself to say. I-I know you wanted to hear something else. I know all of this was not what you had envisioned or expected. Yorshka had already explained your plight to me, so I cant even excuse myself for the cold reception I gave you. Its just I-I dont really know what to say. The three weeks you experienced might as well never happened for me, and I still remember yesterday as the day one of my friends died. Its all

Come.

I stopped talking. I looked up from the ground, seeing the tears Melloxtressa had frozen before they were absorbed into her skin. She made room on her boulder and tapped it, gesturing for me to come over and sit down with her. I had no reason not to accept and nodded.

As I sat down, Melloxtressa held her hand up for a moment before the surroundings began to heat up. In the next second, a cracking sound appeared out of nowhere and a ring of frozen air appeared around us, hiding us from the world. Did Melloxtressa just warm things up inside the frozen sphere out of consideration for me?

You dont need to ask for forgiveness, Hestia. Your own circumstances haven't been easy on you, and, as you said, I had three weeks to prepare myself mentally. You didnt. You only had a second, she said, while I was intrigued and distracted by her ability to control the temperature itself, not just the ice.

No, no! You shouldn't say that! I wasnt there for the whole thing but I saw you crying and spilling your heart out. I heard that, when youre drunk, youre more susceptible to speaking your mind. I hurt you, I understand that now. Just because Im conflicted doesnt mean that you should find excuses for me.

But isnt that what a mother should do for her whelpling? Make her feel more comfortable? Yes, I did find it unfortunate that we couldnt bond as fast as I wanted, but when I was pregnant with you, all I could think about was how to take care of you. You, my child, were my dream and the reason for my drive to evolve into an SS rank. Have you heard about it yet?

I nodded. I explained that Yorshka had told me her story, about how she swore to only lay an egg once she was one of the strongest beings in the world. To have the strength to protect her future child. For that reason, she trained endlessly to become the second SS rank among the current era of dragons.

Yes, that is correct. The child of two SS rank dragons should be powerful. Even without your father and mother around, you would be able to defend yourself. That is why I became Eltharions sixth empress. I am so very glad that you managed to survive all this time all by yourself, Hestia. Your life is my treasure, and even if you cannot accept me as your mother just yet, I have regained my will to live by meeting you.

Guk! Ark, that really hurt my heart. Jeez

I felt even more terrible than before. What have I been doing? I was already aware of her situation, but I still was too simple-minded.

No, no, no. Blaming myself right now, would be doing exactly what Saori just told me not to do. Dont overthink everything. Things happened. It was better to forget about past mistakes if the person in question wanted me to do so.

My lips unconsciously curved into a small smile after acknowledging my fault.

You know, it wasnt easy. Born as a G rank and the size of a gecko. My first kill was a loopabit, and it really traumatized me with how I had to crush its neck to slay it, I joked, and Melloxtressa giggled.

Yes, I heard it from Saori. Im sorry you had to go through all of that, but the fact you hatched far too early in your incubation time and yet still developed into your current self is a blessing. Melloxtressa then touched my head and pulled it closer to hers, up until our forehead touched. Hestia, I am very glad that you became my child. If your soul wasnt in my whelplings body, I fear this probably would have been my last few years in this world. That despair would have eaten me up.

I immediately pushed her away from me, unable to control the tears dropping from my eyes. Verdammt, did you really have to say that?! Verdammt nochmal. Your scent is so intoxicating and then you even threw that out? Youre impossible, Melloxtressa.

I turned my teary face away from her, hiding my flustered face as I tried to clean my wet face. Melloxtressa giggled once again and caressed my wings, and even used her tail to stroke mine.

I still remembered from the lizardman that among scale-kin, stroking each others tail was considered a sign of attraction, but maybe it was different for parent and child? Just like how kissing each others cheeks was considered familial love?

We sat there in silence. Just being there, for each other. I didnt have any urgency to leave like before. As my parallel minds told me, the memories of Mama and Melloxtressa weren't being merged together. It was just the surprise of the situation.

We both stared into the blue sky and down to Griffonpeak. We watched as the clouds moved each other, even talking about how some of them looked like birds. Melloxtressa didnt seem too interested in the cloud talk. I could hear it slightly from her voice, but it wasnt as if she was bored. I believe speaking with me even about the dumbest and most mundane stuff was probably extremely exciting for her.

Like a mother speaking with their child over the phone after they went off on a school trip or something.

Can I ask you something? I inquired, deciding to finally get to the whole reason I followed her out here. Melloxtressa nodded, so I took a deep breath to steel myself before speaking, What are you planning on doing now? Now that you met me?

If I am to be honest, I would like to bring you back to Miononbolax. Saori, Tasianna, Ellaine, and Grimnir those are your friends, right? I asked them about your journey and what you are doing, and that is when I learned that Goddess Aurena and Kargryxmor have given you a divine Quest. That you are their champion I want to bring you away from their scheming.

It was as Kramps expected Melloxtressa wanted to bring me to Kargryx.

I heard from Kramps

Kramps?

Oh, sorry, I meant Kargryxmor. I call him Kramps since he is my grandfather, right? I explained.

Oh I see. So you can accept Eltharions father before your own mother?

Gck!

No, no, no thats not really what I meant! I-uhm-I just thought it would be

Kriehihihi, she giggled. Its alright! Its alright! I am merely teasing you. You do not need to explain yourself but I guess Kargryxmor will. Kishagas kriis til, Karshgrixgar!

I let Melloxtressa shout her frustration into the sky before continuing what I wanted to say. Ooookaaaay. Now, where was I?

So, what I wanted to say is that I wish for you to allow me to stay here. I heard from Kramps that, if I were to come with you, I would not be able to leave Kargryx until I was five. Until I matured.

That is correct. That is the imperial law Eltharion enacted. At the age of five, dragons have developed enough for their bodies to handle even the most drastic changes during their evolution. Unlike other beasts, we dragons do not become adults when we become five. In fact, it would normally take almost 100 years for a dragon to fully reach maturity.

Huh, I guess that is why Im not feeling any sexual attraction to any guys at all. If I were my past self, a few nobles probably would have caught my eye, but they were pretty much whatever to me if I wasnt interacting with them.

Melloxtressa further explained that the young prefix was just a way for the Divine System to control the minimum age a dragon may evolve into A rank. It was the right age to evolve above B rank, without showing any signs of issues. Before the System, this prefix didnt exist after all, and you were only considered mature after your 100th birthday.

The System sure influenced a lot of cultures, even the dragons.

Which is why I would like for you to come with me. I dont wish to see you harmed, Hestia. And I believe that you need to finally learn how to take care of your dragon body because I can see how the shine of your scales is dulling, despite how healthy they look. This should be a parents duty.

I didnt answer her.

You disagree?

I nodded. Yes I want to stay around here. Here, on Altrust. I know I have no idea how Miononbolax is, but I dont think its time yet for me to go there.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
