3113 Rest and Recover (Part 1)

"It's not that hard." The Maiden took the babies off Solus' and Kamila's arms and put them on Lith's chest.

Dragon scales reassured Elisya and Valeron that their father was also fine and the three of them fell asleep like one.

"Thank the gods." Solus sighed in relief.

"You are welcome." The Guardians said in unison.

"Now, unless anyone minds, my daughter and I would like to take a stroll. Is there anything I should know before picking a direction?" Baba Yaga asked.

"That way is my turf." Leegaain pointed north. "East you find Fenagar and west a crazy Lich who lives with an Eldritch. The south belongs to Lith."

"North it is, then." Baba Yaga nodded and walked toward the lake near Lith's lab.

It took Valtak over eight hours to wake up and when he did, he believed to be dead.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

"The afterlife sucks! Why does my body hurt so much and why am I starving?" He had lost consciousness in the Valley of Life and when he opened his eyes, he was staring at Mogar from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

Being dead made much more sense than the truth.

"You are not dead and this will take a while." Lith sighed, offering the Father of Fire a chair and lots of food straight off Leegaain's kitchens.

The Guardian loved eating well and everyone could use a hearty meal after enduring so many emotions.

"I knew it there was something weird between you two!" The Elder Wyrm said while pointing at Lith and Solus. "You smell too much of each other and the whole 'she's my lost cousin' story was just too convenient.

"I suspected she was Elina's illegitimate child but I would have never thought you were the daughter of the legendary Rapa Menadion, Solus."

"Valtak!" Lith said in outrage. "My mother would never do something like that. How could you even think that?"

"Solus smells like Dragon and Elina carries my blood, not Raaz." The Father of Fire shrugged. "If your parents' bloodlines were reversed, I would have questioned your father's faithfulness."

After seeing Lith and Valtak almost die and after sharing the Fire Dragon's sense of loss for Tharma, the babies were on a strict rotation schedule. From Lith to Kamila, then to Solus, and lastly to Valtak.

"Me? I'm deeply offended, young lady. That's a rude thing to say." The Elder Wyrm gasped in playful outrage.

"Farm you." Valeron pouted.

"What?" Everyone said in unison. "Who taught him to say that?"

The Father of Fire could feel through the Dragon scales that even though the word was harmless, the feelings behind it were not. The baby boy was angry and was expressing it like the adults.

"Fine, I'll stay at your home but don't say that to me ever again, hatchling, okay?"

Valeron offered his hand to Valtak, flabbergasting everyone again.

"You are in for some real trouble." Valtak laughed heartily while shaking it. "These hatchlings are as smart as Dragon whelps. Your house won't be baby-proofed for long."

Once he was done laughing and the babies needed to check on Lith, the Elder Wyrm said:

"Thank you for your offer, Lith. I gladly accept your hospitality and hope that you'll enjoy the small present I gave you."

"What do you mean?" Lith had noticed that since he had woken up, he felt stronger and more relaxed, but had no idea why.

"Check on your life force, hatchling." Valtak replied.

Lith did as instructed, noticing that the cracks on his life force were still cauterized. There was nothing oozing out of them, their edges so close that the wounds were almost invisible.

Almost.

"Did you fix my life force?" Lith asked.

"I wish." The Fire Dragon sighed. "I consumed part of my life force to plug yours and make sure that nothing would hinder your recovery. Until it lasts, Death Vision won't bother you and you can use your full strength.

"Yet it comes at a price. Most of the abilities that derive from your Abomination side might be weakened if not completely sealed. Give it a go but without pushing yourself too much."

Lith tried and failed to conjure new Demons of the Darkness. Only those in his Void Sigils answered his call. The black chains, instead, came out, but they were sluggish and moved awkwardly.
