Chapter 3037 Father of Fire (Part 1).

Kaz stepped back in time to avoid the bite and a burst of deep orange Origin Flames that came millimeters away from his right ear.

"Ba!" The small Voidfeather Dragon growled like an angry lion, roaring her challenge.

The Rys stood up, revealing their size, while Shyfs came out from their hiding spots, ready to pounce. Several Crons as big as piper planes started to circle around Kaz, their shadows eclipsing the sun in turns like clockwork.

"Stand down!" Kamila said and the beasts obeyed. "Well, Kaz, do you still want to hold Elysia?"

"No, thanks." He had seen the pictures but they weren't enough to prepare him for the sight of a baby shapeshifting into a Divine Beast. Even worse, no one seemed to care about the transformation.

Elina and the farmhands were still staring at Kaz like he was the monster.

'Has Mogar turned upside down and I'm the only one who noticed?' He thought.

"Do you need help, miss?" Bromann, one of Raaz's best friends asked.

"Bo!" Elysia wagged her tail and waved her clawed hand.

"Yes, I'm Bromann. Thank you for remembering my name, little miss." He waved back and the baby girl shapeshifted back with a giggle.

"She talks and understands?" Kaz fell butt-first on the ground.

"Yes, she does. What do you want, Kaz? Your two minutes are running out." Kamila put Elysia back in the crib for his protection.

Elysia flew awkwardly but that and the orange Origin Flames were more than enough to maim an adult man. If not to kill him.

"Kaz, stay back." Kamila shoved her former brother behind her. "Bromann, get everyone inside the arrays!"

She made the protective magical formations visible to the naked and the farmhands and the magical beasts ran under their protection. The comet soared through the sky, leaving in its wake a blazing trail visible for kilometers and aiming straight for the Verhen house.

"Grandma, Grandpa, if either of you is here today, this would be a good moment to step forward." Kamila nervously looked around, trying to decide what to do.

She could fly away, but that meant leaving Elina and Raaz behind.

'What if I'm the target and this is the same person who wants me dead? If I leave, the killer could follow me and, away from Elysia, I'd have no chance of survival.' She thought as countless scenarios ran through her mind, one scarier than the other.

Once the comet came close enough that its light and warmth dwarfed the sun, it slowed down and shrunk in size, gently landing without burning a single blade of grass.

"How are my favorite girls?" As the flames opened, the human form of Gentor the Golden Dragon emerged from within. "Who is this guy and what did he do to anger you, sister?"

He looked like a burly blonde man over 2 meters (6'7") tall with a clean shaved face. He wore the finest noble clothes that Kaz had ever seen in his life. A set of golden wings came out of his back, revealing his inhuman nature.

"Sister?" Kaz managed to echo before he felt something squeezing his throat and the life out of his chest.

"Why do you entertain a hairless monkey?" The comet reshaped itself in the massive form of a man with flaming long hair and beard streaked with white due to old age. "You don't ask a mosquito why it bites you. You just kill it."

He was at least 2.5 meters (8'2") tall with biceps bigger than Kaz's head. He wore a flaming red overcoat over a white silken shirt and black pants. He had no wings but his yellow eyes and vertical pupils betrayed his nature.

"Stop right there!" Kamila used a tendril of her Spirit Magic to mess with the old man's and save Kaz's life. "I won't let you kill a man in front of my daughter."

'That's your concern? That the little monster might might get scared?' Kaz thought but he had the presence of mind to keep it for himself.
