(Drakken's POV)
[A Couple Months Later....]
"Father..." Sylas said as I entered the dining room, "Is it ti?"
I stopped and looked at him, "Hm?"
He was standing there, looking up at with his round red eyes, "My egg...." He said, "You said it would be a couple of months....Riktor said it is today...."
I blinked, "Oh right." I said, "I think so."
"Can we go?" He asked, "Please? I want my own mount."
I nodded as I walked past him, patting his head, "Sure." I told him, "After breakfast. Let's eat sothing first."
"O-Okay...." He said
I sat down in the chair as he sat in the one next to . He looked at as I rubbed one of my eyes, as if he wanted to say sothing else.
"Anything to add?" I asked
He looked down, "I am doing well with my training." He said, "I want....to receive a Blessing....like Riktor?"
I looked at him, "Not yet."
"But..." He started
"It's not ready." I said, "The Blessing and your body."
"I am ready!" He exclaid, "I promise!"
"No, kid, you are not. Trust ." I said as one of the servants walked up to us and began to serve us plates of food, "It is quite painful and Riktor was barely able to withstand it. You need a bit more ti and so does the Blessing. Just have patience."
"Oh...." He said as he looked down, "Alright...."
"Good morrow..." I heard Mya's voice
I looked over to see that she was walking up to the table, "You look great, Mya." I said, "Perhaps you and I will spend so ti together."
Mya blushed slightly, "It is sothing I would gladly accept." She said as she leaned down and kissed Sylas in the cheek, "My sweetling, how are you?"
Sylas nodded, "Good." He said, "Father says it is ti."
"Oh?" Mya looked at , "Is that so?"
I nodded, "Yes." I said, "We'll go and see the hatching later. Call Maegelle and Saera, they would love to see it."
"I've been speaking to Saera." She said as she sat down, "She wants to claim a dragon. And I asked Maegelle the sa thing, she is a bit more skeptical about it. But it would be a nice gift."
I leaned back, "A Targaryen Dragon? Or one of my Wyverns?" I asked, "Because there is a clear difference."
"I didn't ask." she said as she was given a cup of wine, "But....she would like one."
"Where is she, anyways?" I asked
"Here, My Love." I heard her voice
I looked to my right to see Saera walking over to , a smile on her face, "Oh, there you are."
She sat on my lap, "Your daughter is still asleep, so I figured I would co and eat sothing before taking you to my chambers and keeping you there all day." She wrapped her arms around my neck, "I will ride you like I intend to ride a dragon soon..."
"Naughty things, Mama Saera...." Sylas muttered
"Oh, my Sylas, I did not see you there." Saera smiled, "So, what say you, My Love?"
"Today is the hatching of Sylas's egg." I said, "So we'll be there. And I already planned on having Mya today."
She frowned, "Hm." she said, "Sha. Fine then, I will spend so ti alone then.....without you...then...."
I raised an eyebrow, "Would you want to join us?"
"Oh yes~" She leaned in and kissed my cheek, "My beloved Husband, I will pleasure all day.....after the hatching, of course."
I patted her rear, "That's my girl." I said, "Where's your sister?"
"I believe she is tending to Vaella. She has been in a strange mood, that girl." She said, "I do worry about her."
I gently got her off, "I'll go and see her."
***********************
"Is she alright?" I asked Maegelle, "Vaella."
She was sitting down in her bed, holding the crying girl, "Oh, Drakken." She said, "I..I don't know, she won't stop crying. I've had her fed....I cleaned her....and she doesn't seem to be ill, her body is not hot."
I stood over them, seeing that my daughter was crying, her eyes closed as she rubbed her cheeks with her hands.
"Here." I reached for her, "Let try."
She handed the girl and I took her in my arms, "Very well..." She said, "I hope it is not anything bad..."
The mont I had her in my arms, Vaella stopped crying and she slowly opened her eyes, looking straight at .
"Hm." I said, "Interesting...."
She rubbed her hand on her cheek, looking right at as she cooed, her eyes filled with tears.
"Oh..." Maegelle said as she looked at her, "T-That is it?"
"It appears that Vaella just required her Father to hold her." I said
"You haven't done so in two weeks..." She said softly, "She's probably angry...."
Vaella looked at , a slight smile forming in her mouth.
I smirked, "Well, aren't you sothing?" I said, "Do you want to hold you the entire ti, Vaella?"
She reached her arms out to , smiling and laughing.
"Vaella..." Maegelle frowned, "You had so worried...."
I chuckled, "It's fine." I said, "I can feel when her life is in danger, so I wasn't worried that much. I just found it strange that she would not calm down."
"Maybe you should show more affection...." She said
"Hm, perhaps." I said, "My sons didn't need it."
"But your daughters are different." She said as she held my hand, "You know that."
"Right..." I said
"Heyyy!" I heard Riktor's voice
I turned to see him sliding into view of the doorway, "What is it?"
"The egg is cracking, we're gonna miss it!!" He said with a smile, "It's ti!"
"Oh my!" Maegelle said,
"We should hurry!"
*****************
"I figured all of us should be here for this." Saera said as she held Astorias in her arms, the girl barely waking up and scowling, "So I brought her here."
We were in the Cavern where I keep the Dragon Eggs, bathing in Ether and incubating. This is the sa place where Riktor's Wyvern, Brutus, hatched and where I kept the other eggs. There was still the White one from Brutus's clutch that was there, unmoving.
Sylas's egg, the golden one, was cracked and it appeared
"That's fine." I said as I held Vaella in my arms, "Hopefully she doesn't see Vaella in my arms and gets jealous."
As I said this, the girl looked directly at , her red eyes piercing . They then lowered down to Vaella, as if she was processing the view.
She then frowned and reached out for , imdiately beginning to cry.
I sighed, "Not this....."
Maegelle then chuckled, "Here, let have Vaella." She said as she slowly took the girl out of my arms, "She should be fine."
"Ah, it appears that my daughter and I have the sa sentint, always wanting to be held by you." Saera said as I reached for the other girl and took her in my arms, "I cannot bla her, you are an amazing man...."
"Mhm." I said as I held Astorias, "There there, girl....don't ruin the mont for your brother."
She cald down and began to laugh as she reached out for .
"Father, it's starting!" Sylas said as he walked over to the egg
"Hm, this is quite exciting." Mya said
"Yea." Riktor said
Then, the egg cracked even more and without wasting any mont, the small wyvern burst forth as a small shockwave erupted.
It landed on the ground, shaking its head as its gold scales glowed brightly. Its white eyes were darting around as it sniffed the air. I noticed that its tail was longer and thinner than a normal wyvern and that it had similar wings to Riktor's mount, with three claws on it.
Sylas stood in front of it, "Wow...." he said, "This is....mine..."
The wyvern looked at him and sniffed his pants, before letting out a snort and flapping its wings, taking to the air above him and letting out a shriek.
"Oh." Maegelle said, "So it can fly. I thought because it has wings similar to Brutus, it won't...."
"No, it can." I said, "I just didn't expect it to be similar to Brutus, that is all."
Sylas smiled and looked at , "Can I na it?"
I nodded, "Yes." I said, "He's yours."
"Leonydas." Sylas said
I raised an eyebrow as the wyvern hatchling slowly descended into the ground, "Huh?" I said, "Strange na, but I guess. Who taught you those nas?"
"Mother did." He said as he reached for the wyvern, "Apparently, you wrote a whole journal of nas and terms from your world."
"Ah." I said,
"I forgot about that."
