18 – New mother

On top of a mountain there was a man. He was sitting in a yoga position, apparently meditating. Despite the high altitude, his chest was fully exposed only having a black cloak like a cape, and an iron mask over his face, covering his identity. His muscular body was quite impressive. Not on the level of a body builder, but he did have quite impressive muscles.

"Oi! How long do you plan on standing there like an idiot?"

The voice of a woman interrupted his meditation.

"Now now, Sophia, what did I tell you about interrupting me?"

"But it's so boring to wait around for you. You take so long to wake up from your trance."

The woman that is called Sophia, had a large pair of horns, one white and one red. She had clothing that resembles a japanese shogun. Her chest was also something not to laugh about and her long silver hair would mesmerize any man with it's beauty. You would believe that she is a demon. But she isn't. She is… a dragon. A dragon that is able to take human form.

"So, how was it?"

"Heroes? More like jokes. I assests both of them. One of them was smarter and fled at first sight. The other tried attacking me, but they were so weak, that they didn't even scratch me. As they are, they won't do shit to the demons."

"Fufu. I thought so."

"If you already knew that, what was the point in sending me there?"

"Sophia, you came to me out of your own accord. I agreed to train you so that one day you might take the title of dragon queen. In exchange I asked you 2 things. Follow my orders, and don't ask questions about them. You wouldn't want me to downgrade you from the position of my right hand, right? After all, I have plenty of followers at my side who are waiting for such an opportunity."

"Tsk."

"Regardless, neither the Hero or the dormant Demon King can match me."

"Well duh! As a soul bender, you have a guardian that literally can overpower any living creature."

"I wonder about that… recently I sensed a weird power. Something similar to my own strength. An overwhelming amount of mana. But it was so far away, I didn't manage to see the full picture. Maybe I should send you over there. If there's someone strong out there, they have the right to join my plan."

"You and your fucked up plan again. You are annoying. Remember, I am only following you until I achieve my goal. If you ever show any sign of weakness, I will seize that chance."

"My, oh my. Then I better be extra careful. The dawn of a new era is close. All these pointless fights… I shall eradicate them."

------

Many things happened after that incident. For starters I wanted to ease the burden on my heart. When I was done sleeping the first thing I did was return to Poena village and offer everyone a proper burial. Corpses scattered everywhere is no good.

I know this might not seem like much, but it was the only thing left I felt I could do. Lina was a lifesaver though. Because of her Priestess status, she cast some sort of spell. A glowing light like a small firefly appeared. Emilia-chan's soul. She contacted it for me.

I deeply apologized that I wasn't there when they needed me. There was no way I could atone. But Emilia-chan still had her usual cheerful voice. She didn't hate or resent me. She admitted getting too used to my presence. The fact that the village was overly reliant on me and Lina was true.

She thanked me for burying everyone and told me to keep moving forward. She was in a better place now, so there aren't any regrets she left behind. Of course, I once again cried rivers.

Lina and Shera both gave me the strength needed to get up again. Scars like this don't fade away, but there are things you can do to make them bearable. I don't know what I would have done if those two weren't by my side.

After that we returned to the Grand Crevice. Nothing was left in the former village. We had no home. Shera did say that we could stay as much as we wanted but…

"Is something the matter, Ayaka?"

"Shera, I have no clue what to do now. I have no home, and I don't feel right if I make this place my new home."

"I think I understand your dilemma. I guess, for starters, you should think what you want to do in life?"

"That's easy. I want to live and slow and lazy life. I wanna do everything I want, when I want it."

"Ara? That is troublesome. This world can be harsh for a child like you. Lina might be by your side, but there are things out there that might be troublesome. But given your power… actually not everything can be faced by sheer power. This is though."

"Okay, that's just my point. Up till now I didn't have a voice of reason. I need someone with a second opinion. Someone who maybe see's things from a different angle. If I want to live a lazy life, I need someone to show me if the shortcut I take is good or bad. Shera… I want you to be my mommy!"

"Eeeh!?"

"I know, I know, this sounds crazy, but I feel warm and fuzzy when I am near you. Besides, despite you being an airhea… I mean easygoing, you still have more common sense than me. I want you to be by my side!"

Lina took a step forward.

"I also approve of this. I can't go against Ayaka's will, so you possess qualities which I lack."

"Girls, please don't look at me like that! I can't possibly become a mother."

Ugh. I didn't want to resort to this. It goes against the reason I want Shera as my mom. But I don't want to give up on this so… I raised Kaa and Laa upwards, straight into Shera's face.

"You… will be my mother."

Kaa and Laa's eyes glowed brightly. I have the Mind Control power. I won't change her personality or anything. Just a small suggestion to make her more willingly. Her expression went blank for a second.

"Yes… I will be… your mother…"

After those words, the light show ended. And after a few more seconds, Shera was back to her usual self.

"Umm… sorry, I must have spaced out. Did you say something, sweetie?"

"Sweetie?"

"Is it wrong for mommy to call you like that?"

"So… you're my mother?"

"Ara? Do you perhaps need more rest? Of course I am. Your mommy's sweet child."

"Mommy!!"

I immediately jumped into her boobs. Lina facepalmed herself, but I couldn't care less. Right now, I need affection. Lina's more like a sister to me, so it is wrong for me to want a mom too?

"Hey Lina, tonight I'll sleep with mom again. I have in mind a very special bonding session."

Lina let out a sight, as she knew what I had in mind. We can think tomorrow what to do, but right now, I intend to have my way with these cow tits.
