964: A Family Meeting

A Family Meeting

-----0

Benladann was shocked, the moment I brought her here, she suddenly meet all of my family. Mother, grandmother, and father. My grandfather was missing though, but that's more because I don't have. My grandmother gave birth to my father through asexual means, as she's a Progenitor Dragon, she was able to lay eggs for her children without reproduction.

Of course, my mother still had… well, she did it with my father even though she could had created me asexually. I suppose it was both an experiment of her part and also because of my father who wanted a child from both of them. I already know their story so there's no point on thinking about.

But every time it resurges inside of my mind, I can't help but think that it is a bit funny… After all, my father was into his own aunt, how's that not funny?

…

Ahem, anyways, back to reality.

"I don't have to be formal? Really?" Benladann asked timidly.

"Yeah, yeah, we are between family members here." I said, petting her large and scale-covered shoulders. "Come on, sit down with us, no need to get all complicated over formalities."

"Ahh… O-Okay… Thanks for bringing me here." Benladann said, acting very gentle. I don't remember her acting this way all the time though. I am sure as hell she's acting this way due to being nervous. "I am very happy to meet Drake's parents, and his grandma! He always talks about you guys whenever he got the opportunity. He seems very happy to have you."

"Oh really?" My mother asked.

"Aw, dear, we didn't knew you loved us this much!" My grandmother said.

"Hahaha, I guess he's quite proud of his amazing father!" Fafnir said. I wasn't particularly proud of anything about him…

"And well, he also talks a lot about you." Said my mother.

"Indeed, Benladann, we had been waiting for the moment to finally meet you face to face. Your dragon form looks very incredible, you look already like an honorary dark dragon, even though your bloodline is closer to the ice dragons!" Said my grandmother. "Right! Isn't the blood you drank from Drake, right? He is also a dark dragon so you might awaken this bloodline soon as well!"

"Ahahah… S-So that's how it worked…" Benladann said while giggling a bit nervously. "Drake, can Benladra and Kate come here as well?"

"Oh not yet, I think… They have yet to awaken their Dragon Avatars, which are like their Dragon Forms." I said. "Both of them should have amazing talent at that, but due to their young age, it still a work in progress."

"I see…" She said. "Anyways, I know I might sound like a broken record by now but I am still very glad to meet all of you here. It is truly an honor to see you all… I do wonder though, was there an urgent reason why was I called here?"

"Oh, well, we wanted to discuss something regarding your powers, dear." My mother said.

"But even then, it would also be quite nice to know more about you. We could discuss for hours if you want to! I am really in the mood." Said grandmother.

"Me too! Please tell us more about your life as a married couple! We want to know all the tidbits." My father awkwardly said.

"Err… Well…" I muttered, feeling a bit pressured.

However, Benladann was quicker to talk than I had expected.

"Oh, for sure!"

And she began talking on an on about everything we had gone through and more. We slowly opened more our hearts towards my family, and as a few hours passed, Benladann also managed to know my family better. She learned better about the different families of dragons, and that each one had an element. She also learned about the anomaly that she was, as the first ever non dragon-born to have gained the power to actually enter the Draconic Records.

"S-So I am that unique?!" Benladann asked. She had always been a humble girl to the heart, so every time she was told she was special, it was a hard to swallow pill for her.

"Yeah, indeed! Not only you possess the power to free Asgard, our sister, from the chaos transformation she had undergone forcefully, but you are the first one to have joined our family in such a way without having been born into a dragon at all." Said my mother. "It is very nice to have you here."

"Your Chaos Element is very dangerous, but at the same time, it is the key to free our own world from the element itself. You're the one that wields it, controls it, and is the most capable to be able to free us from its invasion. We already owe you a lot, but I hope you can continue helping us protect the world that we, as a family, were given the task to protect as Guardians by our Great Mother and Great Father, Tiamat and Ymir." My grandmother said, her enormous and majestic dragon body covered on black and purple scales shone majestically and with divinity, as Benladann's eyes shone brightly, growing to admire her.

"I will… I was so doubtful before about such things, I felt like they were heavy responsibilities… But I know that if I can do them, I will do my best to protect this world which has given me a second chance to live a better life, a second chance to give me such a precious husband, two daughters, and a family… And you as well." Benladann said with all honesty.

Aw, am I precious to her?

Damn, she really hit me hard there.

"Don't worry, you won't be alone." I told her, hugging her back. "You will never be alone as long as our family exists."

"Hm, well said!" My father added. "We dragons treat family like the greatest treasure."

"Thank you, father-in-law…" Benladann said while blushing a bit.

"F-Father-in-law!" Fafnir said. "I like the sound of it…" He smirked.

"Well, now that you're here, I suppose it would be a good opportunity to also hasten the assimilation of the Dark Dragon Bloodline." My grandmother said, suddenly touching Benladann with the tip of her claws.

"Eh?!"

FLASH!
