Chapter 39: Two Sons
After Jay put the Sub-gods back on the planet, the world once again vibrated for a millisecond and distributed its golden light once again. Jay, who was keenly observing the planet, did notice it this time and thus questioned in his mind,"What was that? The planet vibrated! Then the sky lt up! It happened so quickly only if you were knowingly looking for it, would you even see it!"
Jay was a little confused and then had a guess,"Maybe this is the effect of their new god powers on the planet? They all did get "galaxy" level powers from every category so that they are true divine masters. Make sense.. But my instinct is telling there is more to this.. Hm.. I'll have to keep an eye out."
Then as Jay pondered over this mystery, he set the planet to a high speed and let the world turn quickly.
–
4 Months later!
A new baby dragon roared its little heart out as it screamed its first breath before quickly sucking in air to continue the process. This was a tremendous day as the new birth commemorated not only the first birth of the new dragon generation, but also the start of the generation of future powerhouses!
Gragaaze and Adamaaze were still not allowed to go into the birthing chamber though as something seemed to be happening. In dragon culture, it was considered very unlucky for male dragons to be present during birth. They all believed that this was a trait they picked up from their ancestors, like males going out of the den to protect the female or something of that nature.
Adamaaze, the father of the child and the husband, quickly asked an approaching nurse,"Nurse Jayooze, please, what is happening? Why can I not see my new child and my probably exhausted wife?!"
Nurse Jayooze paused for a moment to collect her bearings as she struggled to find the words to comprehend what she was about to say. She slowly said,"You majesties.. There is no problem with her majesty's health, so rest assured..."
Adamaaze breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that! Childbirth deaths were still a very common thing in this era!
Gregaaze, however, frowned and asked,"So? What is the problem?"
The Nurse said her next words carefully,"I cannot properly explain what is happening right now other than a blessing from the gods!"
Both Dragon mens eyes widened and their breaths were taken away for a moment. Gregaaze quickly motioned her to continue!
The Nurse took a deep breath and said,"Her Majesty is having two dragon children at once!"
Adamaaze fainted. Gregaaze almost fainted as well, but managed to gain his bearing before that happened. He quickly woke up Adamaaze after thanking the nurse.
Then the two quickly departed to send messengers to every clan and every faction. Her Majesty was having two children during one pregnancy! It is now proven possible for Dragons to have more than 1 child at a time! This was earth shattering news, and Gregaaze attributed this profound new change to the Diving Cleansing that occurred a few months ago. Gods blessings extend in all directions!
After sending out all the messengers to their various factions and important people, they rushed back to the birthing grounds, eager to meet their pair of new and potentially powerful children.
They still had some time to kill so they had some idle chatter as they conversed on what exactly their next steps should be and the future that lay ahead of them.
Gregaaze said,"So? Have you decided what to name your two new sons?" They had a shaman who detected the gender of a child with a special uncommon technique she had almost fully mastered. After the anomaly was detected she was immediately pulled over from her normal duties and assisted in determining the other child's gender as well. It seemed that she didn't realize that there were two inside of her majesty because they were both males. She just saw the male energy and didn't probe further, and now she knew that she could still refine the technique!
Adamaaze nodded and said,"I will name one after you, father, and name him Intelligaaze." Gregaaze stroked his scaly chin and smiled in appreciation. Adamaaze continued,"As for the other child I will name him Spoutaaze." n-)o/)v/(e--L/)b(.1/(n
Gregaaze hummed in appreciation and said,"Those are indeed fine names. They will surely grow to fit these glorious names!"
Adamaaze then asked,"I truly wonder what their talents will be though.. I just hope they are strong enough to protect themselves in the future. As for the clan, if my sons are not enough, then the others will have to pick up the slack.."
Gregaaze then realized something and a startled expression appeared on his face. Then one of intense concentration.
Adamaaze had only seen his father like this a few times in life, and that was when he needed to focus all his brain power towards fixing something or a big problem within the clan. Immediately Adamaaze asked,"Father, What's wrong?"
Gregaaze then asked his son,"You want your children to have powerful talent, correct?"
Adamaaze nodded with uncertainty at where this was going. He replied,"Yes.."
Gregaaze then responded with,"Now that they are born, they are guaranteed to own a talent, which is a good thing in itself. But here comes the problem, we have no way to check it! Only the new generations can see their status!"
Adamaaze instantly understood the crux of the problem and also entered a similar concentration mode as he thought about what could possibly be done. Suddenly, Adamaaze remembered a report he had gotten from a scouting mission.
Adamaaze then said,"I read a report a week or so ago, which detailed the discovery of an ore that grew brighter and brighter the more powerful you were, or so the scouts thought. Maybe we could try to use this thing?"
Gregaaze shrugged and said,"It's worth a try."
