Saint Smith
"… Wow…" Esmond didn't know what else to say once he woke the following day on the 4th of April 2008, after spending most of the previous day making love to Igdraasilla, the World Tree Spirit.
Esmond couldn't understand why he felt so close with her, but he understood it had to do with their soul connection.
While they had hot, steamy, and passionate sex, Esmond noticed her appearance became more exotic in his eyes and powerful.
He could understand why or how he could sense such a thing, but Igdri eventually explained that it had to do with their soul bonding.
His power became hers and vice versa, which included an alteration in her species and underwent an evolution that helped her separate from Esmond but also become closer to him.
Esmond decided to bother with it later instead of checking during sex, so he left it for when he awoke but the second his eyes noticed the System Notifications, Esmond felt surprised such a thing was possible.

"Holy… fucking shit!" Esmond couldn't wrap his head around the series of System notifications that made him wonder how deadly was World War 3 that the System wanted him to get ready now.
"Holy fucking shit indeed dickhead!
Ugh… did you really have to make a damn Soul Bond with the World Tree Spirit?
Do you know what the hell has happened in the Space?!" Carter barged into Esmond's room furious about the headache he received in the morning but once he saw the ruffled room in a horrendous mess, the A.I Spirit understood what at least happened in the bedroom.
Esmond didn't want to bother explaining anything to Carter and left his room out the window, instantly appearing outside and moved over to the Second City with Carter beside him.
"Explain…" Esmond said, asking about the changes just as his eyes fell on the huge tree within the distance.
"… Well, where do I begin?
First, you've set up a direct line of Universal Sentient Lifeform Essence Spring straight to the World Tree.
This has accelerated the World Tree's growth, including the Spirit's who has matured with the information gathered within the Spatial Ark Star World after being tightly intertwined through you.
So far, all produce, and farms are being managed by her, including the forests and jungles around to the point our Drones and Androids couldn't keep up with the production rate.
Before we knew it, Dryads and fairies appeared to help with the work.
Overnight we saw an explosive number of their kind appear within the Space, which set off the Dwarves who have decided to park themselves outside of the Palace in the Second City.
Halkgon wishes to meet you now.
Apparently, it has to do something with their work." Carter couldn't understand why they needed to meet Esmond so badly since they could use the power of Solis to fuel their furnaces if they wanted to.
Without saying anything back, Esmond rushed to the reception room of the Palace while Carter went to find Halkgon and his dwarves.
Yet as Carter brought them into the reception room, he and the dwarves found themselves blushing as Igdril sat beside Esmond and gently fed him breakfast.
"Say 'ahh'…" Igdra coquettishly said as she fixed Esmond's morning hair and clothes, just like a wife.
Honestly, Carter could help but gulp once he noticed Igdraasilla's beauty, but he also understood she wasn't so still either.
Within her lurked the same anger and strength Esmond locked away long ago, even helping him break down the aggressive powers to fuel him and the Space in the future.
Carter wanted to tell all this to Esmond but seeing the idiot wrapped up in Igdra's grasp, he could only wait to bother the idiot later.
While it wasn't bad or concerning, Esmond needed to be informed about everything related to the old dark power nobody would ever want to see.
For now, Carter just introduced Halkgon and red-haired dwarf Grandmaster Smith as well as the other dwarves that'd followed along.
Unfortunately for him, the introduction didn't go as planned.
"Are you the Spirit of the grand World Tree that reaches into the heavens!" Halkgons hearty and rough dwarven voice made it touch for most to understand what he was saying but Esmond and Carter understood Dwarven speech from their many different lives.
Igdra on the other than knew exactly what the red beard and haired Dwarf said and hoped to hear.
"Yes Child… I am.
I am also the one who shall help your desire to forge my Saint Smith, Halkgon Starforge!"
As the last words left her mouth, Halkgon, a dwarf no talker than 5 feet was covered in roots that appeared out of nowhere that sprouted leaves and bright flowers until they all burst to reveal a tall and powerful man with a Special Hammer in the right hand and a flame like no other in the left.
At that exact moment Esmond took notices of the System Notifications that came through because of Igdraasilla's actions.
…
..

*Ding*
[Primordial Áine Spirit has granted Dwarven Grandmaster Smith – Halkgon Starforge with the title and powers of a Saint Smith!]
[Dwarven bloodline of Halkgon Starforge has awoken!]
[Dwarven Grandmaster Smith Halkgon Starforge has undergone evolution!]
[Grandmaster Smith Halkgon Starforge has upgraded his species into High Dwarven!]
[High Dwarven Genetic Code added to the Spatial Ark Star World!]

…
"Holy fu-"
"OH, THANK YOU!!
MOTHER OF THE LAND, LIFE AND NATURE!!
IGDRAASILLA!!" Halkgon kneeled before Igdra, placing the hammer forged from his High Dwarven bloodline and minerals in the control of the World Tree, meaning everything within the Space.
The Hammer felt like a divine equipment but more so the flame in Halkgon's hand felt like the purest form of energy.
Esmond wanted to ask what was going on, but Igdra waved off the Dwarves simply saying, "It is time to show you worth to your Lord.
Now go my children and work hard.
In the future I'll help others advance their bloodlines into High Dwarves if you show effort and loyalty to the cause of our Lord." Every word Igdra pronounced sounded like the voice of an angel to the dwarves.
Even Carter felt caught off guard for a second, but his sharp senses helped him against the natural powers of a Primordial Áine Spirit.
Neither Esmond nor Carter knew exactly what Igdra was, but before they could ask, she brought up a topic that sent Carter racing out the room, while yelling "Esmond!
Let's catch up another time!" helpless and left alone, Esmond could only pray that he survived whatever came next as he heard Igdra ask her question once again.
"So, Esmond, my love…
How do you feel about Amelia, Layla, and May?"
