Velian had been protecting the dragon egg for what seemed like an eternity. He still remembered how he lied to Daphnia to go and find this egg and how he got into trouble because of that.
Day in and day out for seven days, he poured his mana into it and also the girls' mana, ensuring that it remained safe and sound. And finally, after all these years of waiting, the moment had arrived.
Velian kept his hand on the shell of the egg and provided a little bit of mana causing the egg to crack under the gasoline sounds of the girls inside the room.
"Veli," Daphnia muttered.
As all of the members of Velian's family watched in awe, the egg began to crack open, and a tiny hand poked through the shell.
Velian's heart raced with anticipation as he watched the dragon hatch before his very eyes.
A small and fragile creature emerged, looking up at the world with wonder and amazement. The little dragon girl had silver hair that shimmered in the sunlight, and her ears were perked up like a cat's, giving her an endearing appearance.
Her eyes were something to behold, with two different colours shining within them, almost as if they contained the very essence of the world itself. And her long, slender tail swished back and forth as if it had a life of its own.
Right after she managed to come out of the shell, she looked at everyone around her with interest like she was trying to understand what was happening.
"Nyaaah," The dragon girl cooed, reaching out to the figure before her. Her tiny hand grasped at the air, trying to make contact with the one who would be her protector and guide in this new and wondrous world.
Velian gazed down at the little dragon girl, feeling his heart swell with love and protectiveness. He knew that this precious being was his responsibility now, and he would do everything in his power to make sure she grew up strong and healthy.
Taking the dragon girl into his arms, Velian held her close, feeling the warmth of her body against his own. He could sense the magic and power that radiated from her, knowing that she was destined for greatness.
Suddenly, a burst of energy surged from Velian's body, enveloping the dragon girl in a warm, protective aura. And then, as if on cue, the dragon turned to Velian and called him father.
[Master, I transmitted some of the abilities of her mother, but to fully power up her, she's not strong enough, she should be strong enough to absorb the dragon core]
"Papa! Papa!" She kept saying the same word again and again looking at Velian's face, while all the other girls were stunned by this turn of events.
They didn't expect this offspring to have a human form, so when they saw her, all of them couldn't help but feel a star he emotion but for Sariya and Daphnia, it was familiar as they had already experienced it at least once.
Tears welled up in Daphnia's eyes as she gazed upon the beautiful creature that is cuddling in her son's embrace.
And Velian also had never felt so alive, so full of love and wonder. And as his lovers and Aiko wrapped their arms around him, the three of them welcomed the dragon into their family with open hearts and open minds.
"Welcome little one!" Sariya said with her eyes on the verge of watering, but Elda was already crying showing her lack of resistance.
From that moment on, Velian knew that nothing would ever be the same again. He had been given a new purpose in life, a new reason to keep fighting, and a new source of joy that he would cherish for the rest of his days. The dragon had brought him and his new family together in a way that he could have never imagined, and for that, he would always be grateful.
For a few minutes, they kept hugging each other like that until the dragon kid started making strange sounds.
*Gurgle
"Hmm~ looks like she's hungry," Velian said while asking everyone to give them space, as she was only a newborn so he had so many things to check.
He had to make new clothes for her as she was naked and now he wondered what he could feed her.
"Girls, do we have any food? Something liquid would be perfect," As soon as Velian said that, Elda quickly left the room and ran in the direction of the kitchen followed by Delviny and Lyra.
pàпdá-ňᴏνêι.сóМ Until they bring food Velian decided to talk with this new kid.
"Can you understand me?" He knew she won't be like an ordinary kid, since her race was far superior to humans.
"Papa!" She cuddled into his embrace like she was trying to answer but the only word she knew was Velian's name.
"Veli, can I hold her?" Daphnia came forward with other girls hoping they can introduce themselves to Velian's kid.
And he didn't show any hesitation as he passed her onto Daphnia's hand, but she almost dropped the kid because of how heavy she was.
"Sariya! Help me," She quickly acted and asked Sariya's help and lucky for them nothing happened, as she wondered how heavy this girl was.
"Oh my! She's quite chubby," Sariya muttered her eyes looking at the kid with love.
Naomi also timidly got close to her and tried to touch her face, but suddenly the kid held her finger like a normal kid, but if Naomi wasn't an SS-rank human, her finger would have broken into two pieces because of how powerful her grip was.
Aiko looked a little sad and bothered but, she didn't want to spoil the mood, so she looked at her sister who is also her lover's daughter.
"She has Velian and Daphnia's hair and Juno's ears," Aiko muttered noticing her facial features.
"Look at her eyes!" Sariya pointed out, while Velian looked at the whole thing feeling unbelievably relaxed and happy.
