RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse-Chapter 437.1: Joy’s Issue Part 1
--AN) Another will come later.--
"I promised I would be here when you finished your evolution. Who knew my little girl would grow up to be so beautiful? You look so much like your mother." Blake gently stroked the top of Destiny's head. "Although I guess it is just your body that has grown."
"Hehe! Mmm… I may look older, but I am still your little girl." Destiny hugged Blake with a blissful smile as her papa held her in his arms.
"What do you mean? You will always be my little girl, even if thousands of years pass. How are you feeling? Have you adjusted to your new powers?" Blake asked. He was very worried about Destiny's body.
"Mmm… As Auntie Ishtar said, I have fused with the power I gained completely." Destiny replied. She then took a few steps back before raising her hand and causing a small little golem to suddenly form out of thin air. The golem was small and looked just like a little version of herself. "I leave her to you. She is a part of me. If something were to happen to either you or me she will be able to communicate between us to let each other know if there is something wrong."
Blake held out his hand. The mini Destiny flew over to it and then merged into his palm. A light golden glow came from the back of his hand as an ancient rune marking formed. "I see…" Blake could feel his connection to his daughter now. It was indeed a nifty little trick. It felt similar to his connection to Little White.
Blake turned to Ishtar and bowed his head to her. "Thank you for protecting my daughter and giving her this chance."
"I…. I only did it because she is cute." Ishtar humphed as she crossed her arms across her chest.
Destiny giggled as she leaned over and whispered into Blake's ear. Blake couldn't stop himself as he chuckled and looked up at Ishtar. He walked over and gave the stubborn goddess a hug which caused her to freeze on the spot. The last thing she had ever expected was for the man she was in love with to hug her!
"You! What are you?" Ishtar was fighting her own pride as her expressions kept changing from smiling to trying not to smile, causing her to look quite comical.
"Nothing, Just hugging the goddess who can not be true to her own feelings." Blake teased as he let her go. "But really thank you."
"Humph! Who has feelings?" Ishtar blushed and turned around. Her smile could not be hidden. She really did not do all of this to get Blake's favor, she just wanted to protect his child because he loved his family so much. She did not want to even picture what would happen if he lost Destiny.
Blake chuckled again as he turned and looked at Destiny, who was swaying back and forth, getting used to her new body. "Let's go out and let the others know everything worked out."
"Yes, I am sure my sisters are very worried." Gemini also agreed with this. Blake took Destiny's hand and led her out of the room. In the hall, Josline and Mina were sitting on the floor sleeping. Blake had no idea what time it was, but since they were sleeping, he could only guess it was late.
He bent down and picked up Mina and placed her on his head before scooping up Josline into his arms. He brought them into the bedroom and laid them both down so that they could sleep before going back out to the living area. "Gemini, go get some sleep too. I will sit out here with Destiny for a bit."
"Then, good night, husband." Gemini gave Blake a kiss on the lips before going into the bedroom to join her sisters. Blake sat down on the couch while Destiny curled up next to him and used his lap as a pillow. Ishtar sat on the chair next to the couch and looked fondly at Blake with a small smile.
"So, what do you plan to do now?" Ishtar asked, breaking the silence.
"I will still try to take in astral energy. I can't let my daughter be the only one to make gains now, can I? Then I will enter my second evolution." Blake replied. He wanted to protect his family, so he needed to make sure he was not slacking.
"Hmmm…." Ishtar thought for a moment before saying. "If you are able to become a demigod with powers close to that of a god, I will help you break the shackles."
"You mean dying and climbing back up from the underworld?" Blake asked. He really did not like that idea.
"Hmmm…. I have never recommended anyone before. So I have a single slot. Destiny was different because I took enough of another god's power to implant it into her body. She is also still young, which allows her to fuse with all of the power. I can not do that for you, sadly. But, I can at least give you the single slot I am entitled to as a goddess." Ishtar explained.
"I will think about it." Blake smiled. While he wished to grow strong, he also did not know what the future would hold. So much power may not be needed at that time.
"You will have plenty of time, I am sure." Ishtar knew it was a risk, but if Blake wanted to do it, she would give him the opportunity.
"Papa!" Joy's voice filled the room as she rushed overlooking just as old as Destiny does, and wrapped her arms around his neck and….
*Chomp!*
Bit into his neck and began sucking his blood. After a few sips, she nuzzled her cheeks against Blake's as she smiled and whispered: "Papa, will you come to joy's be…. Ouch! Mama Lillia, why did you hit me!?"
"You are not to even think of such a thing! We had this talk already!"
