Chapter 60 - Chapter 62

Name:A New Path Author:Vallori
Inside Sylvia's cafe a portal appeared and 2 people and a little smaller Atlas jumped out. Lucky for them, the cafe was just about to open so there still was no customers inside the building. The cafe still looked the same and Dragon could immediately feel Sylvia in the backroom.

"Gildarts, your mom is back there as usual." Dragon pointed to the swing door leading to the back.

"MOM! We're back!" Gildarts yelled for her and just a second later you could hear footsteps approaching.

*BAM* The swing doors were slammed open and a middle-aged beautiful woman ran out with a face full of happy tears.

"GILDARTS!" Sylvia rushed her son with some inhuman speed and swooped him up in a big bear hug. She rubbed her cheek against his so fiercely that sparks almost appeared.

"Sylvia, calm down. You're going to kill our son." Dragon stuck his hand forcefully between them and separated them.

"What's the big idea? You trying to ruin my reunion with my son?" Sylvia glared at Dragon. Gildarts was quickly captured in the embrace of Sylvia again.

"No! I am trying to stop you from killing him." Dragon stole Gildarts back to his side and gave Sylvia a glare of his own.

"Give him back! I'm not done!" Sylvia jumped at Dragon, ready to rip him apart limb from limb.

"STOP!" Gildarts broke free from Dragon and put his arms out towards both his parents. Dragon and Sylvia both stopped and looked at their son.

"I'm glad you both care about me so much. But, how about we tone down on any death threats or attempted murder. Let's sit down and talk." Gildarts said in a friendly tone so he wouldn't agitate either party.

"You're right, son. Sylvia, it's good to see you again." Dragon regained his tranquillity and approached Sylvia.

"Don't even think about it!" you're sleeping on the couch tonight. No one goes between me and my son." She said with a strict tone. But you could still see the teasing expression on her face.

"Oh come on! Be fair! You were gonna kill him. I had to step in." He said pleadingly.

"Couch or outside!" Sylvia said with her stern parental tone.

"Fine!" Dragon snapped his fingers and in the corner of the cafe, a portal appeared in the air and dropped something on the floor.

"A bed?" Gildarts looked at the nice-looking bed that appeared.

"Yes! You will find no softer or nicer bed in the world. Or any world for that matter."

"If I am not welcome in your bed, you are not welcome in mine." Dragon stood beside the bed and jumped into it. Sylvia and Gildarts watched his body hit the bed. And just from that alone, they could tell no bed in the world stood a chance against this one.

The way Dragon's body hit the bed and sunk into it in just the right way had them both drooling. Sylvia looked at Gildarts, then at Dragon then back at Gildarts again. She had a desperate expression on her face.

"Sweetheart, how about we forget about that silly argument earlier. I was just joking around after all." She said with the sweetest smile she could. She was staring at the bed and Dragon while almost drooling.

"Sure! No problem." Dragon smiled back.

"Great! So how about we carry that bed upstairs." She said with a hurried tone and she almost couldn't control herself from diving into it.

"Unfortunately this is just a one-man bed. And also, no woman allowed." Dragon put on a cheeky smile and glanced in Sylvia's direction.

"You swore eternal love to me. Does that mean nothing to you anymore?" She said with tears gathering in her eyes.

"Of course. I will love you forever." Dragon lost his cheeky smile and stared into her eyes without blinking. Sylvia started to blush and she was forced to fake cough to get a hold of her emotions again.

"So? Mind if i join you there?" She said and put on her cute little innocent girl act.

"No! When they said love can triumph anything, they clearly didn't take these sheets into account. Why would i ever share this heavenly feeling with anyone." Dragon said and performed his evil mastermind laugh.

"You devil!" Sylvia said and ran forward and jumped on top of Dragon in the bed. And so started an innocent wrestling match to see who would become the overlord over the heavenly blessed bed. What both had forgot about was the two other poor souls in the room.

"Gildarts, are you as uncomfortable as me?"Atlas asked while staring in shock at the island's god wrestling with the woman in bed.

"I wanna die! Kill me, Atlas!" Gildarts turned to his only real friend in the world.

"No way! I kill you, he kills me or hands me over to your scary ass maid." Atlas used his paw to point towards the wrestling match going on.

"I suppose. You know any memory wiping magic?" Gildarts asked Atlas casually.

"No! But you might wanna find someone that does." They both shuddered at the same time.

"Let's go explore the city. I can't stand this anymore." Gildarts said and Atlas nodded and followed along.

------Back on paradise island------

Inside a big conference room with a big rectangular table in the middle, a few people were gathered for a meeting.

"Yuri, this is your target. write down everything, even onto the smallest detail. Lord Dragon wanted everything by the time he came back." Sebas said to a maid with an expression of neutrality and arrogance.

"Lupusregina, This is your target. Lord Dragon noted down that he is one of the most important targets. Keep a close watch, don't let him spot you." He said to a woman with a sadistic smile on her face.

"Of course. Some dumb lizard is nothing in front of me." She said and smiled wider then before, and he face twisted into something from a horror film.

"Narberal, this is your target. He is powerful, but you should stand as his equal if you become serious. Don't let him see you." Sebas looked at the maid that was forced to stay behind, even though she wanted to follow Gildarts and care for him.

"Understood!" She bowed and answered. Any one of them would be overjoyed to do even the simplest of task if it was for Gildarts or Dragon.

"Narberal, Yuri and Lupusregina. Move out! The rest of you stay here and continue your duties as normal." Sebas said with his commanding tone.

"Yes!" They all said with voices filled with resolve and determination.
