Chapter 600 - Being The Father Of A Dragon Is Not Easy
-----
[Day 223]
It has been a week and a half since Benladra was born. I cannot say that I've enjoyed every second out of it, but I am still loving her dearly, and I still believe she's the dearest of my life. My little treasure which I only want to make happy…
But! The thing is, babies don't do much so it's not like I can do everything I can to make her happy when the only things she does is eating, sleeping, and filling her diapers like four times a day…
Yes, she does it a lot, we tried not to give her other food than milk, but it seems that such a thing was affecting her negatively, as a half-dragon baby, she needs a good supply of protein since she's an infant, so eating meat became a staple in her diet.
And she won't get satisfied with just a few bacon stripes, no, she is voracious, and prefers a pair of big grilled filets from a big animal such as an Ice Buffalo, Ice Bears, and more…
She has sharp teeth ready to eat anything, so she devours her meat as fast as she fills her diapers… Even then, we decided that if we were compromising to it, we might as well give her more to her meals than just meat, so we also added some fruit and vegetable salads, and things such as yogurt were also included. But we are omitting carbohydrates or anything with sugar, or she won't sleep at all at night, and she will begin to cry because she can't sleep but she wants to sleep…
And I would be forced to use dream magic spell "hypnosis". Which won't work on her, and it will be reflected back to me, making me sleep instead… only to wake up half an hour later so I can use a higher leveled spell, only for it to maybe inflict something negative to her, so I stop midway through, the spell backfires and explodes on my face, the typical scenario at every night when she eats too much sugar.
But she's way too cute so everything is forgiven.
And well, aside from the bad things which I cannot stop talking about, there are many beautiful things about having a little beautiful daughter like her.
Each night we sometimes get woken up by her crying- ah, that's not it.
Erm… Well, she's lovely, and hugs me! The other day I held her, and she kissed my nose! Isn't that the cutest thing?
Sometimes we go into her dream with Benladann, and we have fun with her in her dreams, bouncing around her world of cushions and more, she has a very innocent soul, so her dreams are always fluffy.
And she's slowly beating her shyness a bit more, day by day, we are teaching her how to bear with other people a bit more, but she still likes little people around her.
She still has time to even begin walking through, and even crawling in the floor seems like a no-no for her, she's very dependent on us despite being a baby dragon.
And about abilities or magic? She had recently been glowing mysteriously from time to time, but nothing aside from that. I think the other day I saw her glowing with a golden light this time around, which is completely new to me.
Aside from that, she's hasn't developed anything else than her physical strength, she's very strong, thankfully, her two parents are also incredibly strong so we can bear her occasional hits with a lot of strength she doesn't calculate.
This is also something dangerous for other people, and this is why we don't let other people handle her… we are the only ones capable of doing so properly.
Anyways, life continues going on even while I am busy raising a little young baby girl.
After the visit from those guys from the far away sect, nothing much has happened, it's going to be almost a month since the war against Black and his band of losers ended and there hasn't been anything of interest happening other than daily life routine.
The two sects of Winter Lotus and Jade Snake are mostly completely repaired by now and their production of items might soon begin, with the free dungeons ready to be harvested, the sect disciples are slowly beginning to delve into them and hunt monsters for materials.
Meanwhile, we are expanding their farm fields around their territory to plant more vegetables and fruits, and the cattle of spiders is flourishing well, both sects had adapted this monster to their cuisine, so things are only going to get better over time.
Aside from this, the two sec masters are constantly visiting one another with their Elders, and slowly forging their bonds. The Ice Moon Sect Master is also coming to visit sometimes, and he's making some new alliance with these two.
My trio of sects is mostly handling it pretty well by themselves, the sect masters are strong enough and its not like I cannot teleport to their dungeons and help if anything bad happens.
For now, we were mostly getting ready to move on.
I would like to stay half a year in here to wait for Benladra to grow up some more, but it is better to continue moving on through the exploration of the continent, our goal is to reach areas with less snow and more sun and greenery, while looking for clues about the Colors guys that are related to Greenwood…
But because I don't want to risk our lives nor that of my daughter, we are going at a slow pace like always, and we might depart in a week, or a few days, depending in the situation.
I have scouted the area ahead using a few flying units, and I found out there is a vast forest that gets warmer as we go deeper into these areas of the continent, there is, however, a massive marshland that spreads over hundreds of kilometers, so that's quite the obstacle.
Well, we can always fly over it… but I want to explore it.
