The months went by flying inside our Divine Realms, two months disappeared in just a few blinks to us, as we spent our ti leisurely training, sotis just enjoying daily life, and more.
Surtr's kids had grown up nicely over these two months and were now crawling around everywhere with their six limbs, four arms and two legs, very unique among fire giants or even dragons.
Luckily, before I was about to leave, Erald's kid was born… Ahia laid a really big egg after a day of effort and with the help of my wives and also Surtr's wives.
And then, only a week later, the egg hatched. And yes, Erald was pretty crazy about it, he was at least five tis as more neurotic as Surtr too, making him quite annoying.
But man, it made happy to see little Erald becoming all grown up, and a dad to boot!
"Aiieeh! Aheeh…"
His kid was also much more developed upon birth, crawling around and playing with Surtr's babies right away, it seed to be thanks to being half Jungle Lizardman, they grow up fast and are born fully knowing how to walk, eat, and do most things on their own, probably to maximize survival.
"Araldhia! Please be careful where you go, dear…!"
Ahia was constantly following her daughter everywhere, as she crawled around the grasslands, seeking new places to explore.
"Hahaha, she's so adorable…! Isn't she?! She's the cutest in the world!"
"She indeed is quite a little treasure, congrats Erald."
His daughter was nad Araldhia, a pretty na that combined their nas together as well. Her appearance was rather unique, she had the appearance of a little Jungle Lizardman hatchling, but with a lot of colorful feathers through her body, sharper fangs and claws, an overall larger body, and a small, developing pair of feathered wings.
To boot, at the tip of her small, cute jaws, she had a golden colored beak. Her scales were mostly clear green and slim like snake scales, her head was overall very snake-like too, similar to Ahia. She couldn't fly just yet, but wings would sotis erge around her, lifting her monetarily, and making Ahia have a heart attack.
Erald took that rather easier than I thought, as he was used to little wind dragons and their antics and constantly told Ahia that she was a wind dragon, and it was just natural to do that even as a newborn.
After all, wind dragons love nothing but fly and soar new horizons, it is within their nature.
"I'm glad I was able to stay until your kid was born, Erald. She's adorable… I'm sure she'll have a bright future, her strength is also quite sizable, right?" I wondered.
"Yeah… she seems to have inherited her mother's Shamanic Magic Affinity, spirits flock around her all the ti," laughed Erald. "Those winds aren't just her elental magic; they're wind spirits helping her and playing with her."
"Amazing! Wait, does she have your Celestia Winds too?" I wondered.
"I think she does, they sparkle with the sa intensity as mine…" Erald nodded, fascinated by his daughter's potential. "About demonic powers… nothing has manifested yet, but I could feel sothing within her, a dark fla."
"A dark fla…?" I wondered.
"She did probably inherit sothing, a unique demonic power of her own… but it is dormant for now. Nonetheless, I'll be careful," he said. "I don't really know what to think though… to think that the demonic powers I got are now inherited by my child…"
"Wel, the more power the better, as they say!" I laughed. "If any problem arises, just call and I'll co to help."
"T-Thanks… I really appreciate it… master," he nodded, feeling relieved.
He looked more mature now, he was finally embracing his adulthood, and that he was a father.
Slowly, he walked towards his daughter, carrying her in his arms and letting her take little flights with the help of wind spirits.
"Aheheh! Hehe!"
She giggled very adorably… I am sure this girl will grow to be a wonderful wind dragoness, just like her father and her mother are great people.
But now… It was about ti. Tomorrow is finally ti to say goodbye for now.

I deep down wished this morning could co slower, but it didn't. In the blink of an eye, it was already the next day, and we were already at the beaches of Muspelheim. Right behind us was Fuyu in her Divine Frost Vessel form, a giant ship we used to get in here before.
We decided to make the trip through the sea and see if there's any anomalies on the way, instead of just moving there through teleportation… it was only going to take a few hours at most with Fuyu's current abilities anyway.
"So this is goodbye I guess, you guys aren't coming along?" I wondered. "I should've guessed so…"
I looked at Surtr and Erald, their families right behind them… I guess they had whole lives here, it wasn't easy for them to leave. and my family were used to moving around now, but it wasn't the case for them.
"I'm sorry, master… I wish I could but… I have a family here," Surtr smiled. "I also want to explore the world… But well, responsibility calls."
"The continent suffered a lot… and so did its people," Erald said. "Even now there's still refugees from destroyed villages coming to the Jungle Lizardn Settlent every now and then, so… we can't really abandon it."
"…No, I completely understand," I nodded with a smile, patting their shoulders. "We spent like two years together I guess… this was my first trip to another continent, and it already beco morable. Honestly, I am really happy that I got to t you two… Back then, I wasn't even sure I could beco a "master" to young dragons… it was thanks to you that I grew up a lot as a person too. You're the best disciples I could have ever asked for… but above all, you're my family, my sons."
