Stretching to relieve some of the tension from her shoulders, Night Silver smiled. "Ah, that was cathartic. Though I wish I had the time to truly make him lose his mind. Pfft, that sure would be funny to imagine… Is it possible to inflict enough pain upon them, such that their resurrected self would remain tormented?" She giggled at the thought as her mind raced to come up with ideas.
"Mother, we're done writing what you asked of us…"
"Hmm? That's right, sorry about that. I was curious to see what would happen. Forgive me for putting you in harm's way."
The women looked at each other with a confused giggle. Then one bravely replied. "Mother, I can't think of a safer place to be than right by your side." She smiled, holding Night Silver's hand. And then embracing for a hug. "We love you, Mother. And what's more, bearing witness to a foolish man who dared to attack our god sisters… It was beautiful."
Kissing the woman on her head. This woman is right. She may not be born of my own loins. But there isn't a man, woman, nor child in all of Tus Nadair that wouldn't call me Mother or Goddess mother. Hehe, she's warm. "I'm glad you all think that way. But don't forget, I love all of you as well. If any of you were to come to harm. I'd be sure to invade the Evil Greed Kings' base and slaughter them until they could no longer return to this plane." She said, as the other women joined in a huddle of hugs. "Now, let's return home. I have to give you all a reward for being so brave."
~ Night Silver's Residence ~
Back in the dragon's den, made to be a home fitting for a Nature Goddess, The very goddess and some of her people appeared in this place. There were extremely few reasons why the people would be allowed in here. One was as a child, they would always be granted 6 months to sleep in the vicinity of their goddess. This was originally started as a way to comfort the children who'd seen untold horrors, but later turned into a tradition. It was also the easiest way to spend time with the Mother Goddess, and be looked after by her.
However, that was not the reason these women were brought here. They were here because they selflessly earned a reward. One to be doled out by their goddess. The look of anticipation on their faces was priceless and caused Night Silver to giggle and crack a warm smile.
"You've all done a good job to bear witness to that arrogant child killer's punishment. And now it's time for your reward." She then thought about it for a moment.
Though, before she could mention it, one woman removed all of her garb. "Mother, I know the reward isn't going to be a child. What we did isn't enough to have earned the right to bear your husband's child from our loins… No matter how much I would love to bear a child of the gods. So anything where we can spend time with our mother, like this will be fine."
Giggling, she removed her own clothes, and tossed them aside. "I could use a nice warm bath anyway. So, this will be your reward." She opened the way to the natural hot-spring she conjured nearly 100 years ago. "This is one of my special hot-springs. Soaking in this place will guarantee to boost your womanly charm. Your man will be head over heels fawning over every inch of your body."
After a rather long session in the hot-spring, with an obscured amount of girl talk… The women were returned to their families safe and sound. An accurate account of what happened the moment they returned home:
"Darling's I'm home!"
"Mommy! And… Mother!"
"Pfft, you're an adorable child." Night Silver giggled, playing with the children's hair, and giving them tons of kisses.
Meanwhile the husband was left completely stunned by the beauty of his wife. So much so he couldn't get a word out edgewise, his mouth refusing to speak. His wife closed the distance, undressing as she did. "What do you think, my, love?" she teased him with a gentle finger stroking up his neck and lifting his chin. "I'm ready for a baby. You'll give me one, won't you?"
Hearing that, the two of them went to a more private room, where their shared wife was also currently waiting for her woman to return. "Oh my, darling you look absolutely stunning! Come here and let's get a good look at you."
Night Silver giggled when she heard it. "Have fun, and you be good, alright children. Remember, Mother loves all of you."
A sense similar to this was repeated a small handful of times before everyone was returned home and she could return to her own husband. I love spending time with them. I love them, all of them…
At the training grounds Brightness had created to aid in training his beloved offspring, She arrived to see how everything was going. Hmm, the training ground has improved quite a bit since the last time I saw it, this must be what that handsome father of my children was asking the dwarves to help with.
Seeing his mate having returned, Brightness flew over. The pair of them stared into each other's eyes for a moment. Then he smiled. "Time always seems to stop when I stare into those beautiful eyes of yours."
"Funny, I was about to say the same thing to you, darling." She said with a love filled smile before moving on to explain what she had just finished doing.
"I see… If this keeps up, the enemy might actually be weak enough for me to kill them on my own."
"That's still a bit off. You're definitely stronger than the other dragons, save for that one bitch. But these guys aren't like the other 6 gods that came here with me 100 years ago. You can thank your lucky stars you only fought one… But worry not, once they drop down to around lvl 80 you shouldn't have much of an issue dealing with them 1 on 1. You'll still need to be careful if they swarm you, which is undoubtedly their preferred method."
