Remnants of another Era 1.87

-Viggo!- shouts Aina with joy from the door of the house. When she went to see who was calling, she never imagined it would be the boy. On the other hand, Viggo also did not imagine that she would be the one who would come to receive him, nor that she would have a green-haired baby elf in her arms.

-Auntie, when?- asked Viggo in amazement as a big smile formed on his lips.

Aina looked at the baby in her arms and showed a big smile -she was born this year- she said, then looked at Viggo, under the five steps of the entrance and walked down the corridor to the fence. She removed one of the hands with which she held the baby and showed a bunch of keys -take Viggo, you know what it is- she said.

Viggo received the bunch of keys and began looking for the key to the door lock.

-Who are these young women behind you, Viggo?- asked Aina with a big smile.

Viggo took a brief look at the girls and smiled -they are my wives, aunt- said and continued to look for the key.

-Viggo, you- said Aina in surprise, let out a sigh and smiled as she denied thinking of her own husband.

Viggo entered the key, turned the lock twice and opened it generating a click. Then he opened the door and advanced to Aina -Can I aunt?- he asked.

-Of course, you can, it's your little sister, her name is Eina-

Viggo stretched out his hands to carry the baby who should not have been more than a year old. The little girl with green hair like her mother, looked with her beautiful green eyes at Viggo, full of curiosity. Eina stretched out her stubby little hands and started touching his face. For his part, Viggo smiled happily to carry the baby, then looked back and told the girls, please come in. He stepped aside and the girls passed by and then closed the gate.

Viggo leaned on the concrete edge on the sides of the entrance hallway and said -she's one of my father's wives, her name is Aina-

-Much pleasure to all- Aina said with a big smile as she shook her hand.

-Good pleasure, ma'am- said Semiramis bowing, so did Scheherezade as Kiara just bow her head as a greeting.

For their part, Ana and Sakura stared at the green hair and long elf ears.

-Oh, I see two curious ones- Aina said with a smile.

Sakura and Ana nodded, but then remembered Viggo's warning regarding the ears of other races, especially the elves, who are very fussy about that kind of physical contact. So, they refused with blushing cheeks.

-Okay, it's not the first time that someone from outside is interested in the ears of an elf. Go ahead, it doesn't bother me-

Sakura and Ana looked at each other and approached Aina. The latter crouched down a little and they stretched out their hands to touch the long ears.

-They're only a little longer than usual- Aina said -but they don't have anything special-

Sakura and Ana nodded with a smile and said at the same time -thank you- then they put their hands away and Sakura asked -Is your hair natural?-

-Yes, 100% elven Do you like it?- asked Aina with a big smile as she curled her right index into her hair.

-Yes, it's very nice-

-I also like yours, is it also natural?- asked Aina, Sakura nodded and Aina continued -well, on the other side of the river the grass is always greener. Come, let's go inside, there is no Viggo's mother, but this is his father-

Ana and Sakura became nervous, to the point that they grabbed their dresses with their hands and began to wrinkle his nerves.

-Calm, Kain looks a bit intimidating, but she is very kind- said Aina, approached them and took them by the hand -come with me, I will escort you-

Sakura and Ana followed, meanwhile Viggo was playing with little Eina, who took his red strands and looked at them as if they were something from another world. At the same time, Viggo listened to Aina, looked at Kiara, Semiramis and Scheherezade and said -come on, you will meet my father-

In that way, they entered the house, impressed by the beautiful ceramic floor that almost reflected their figures. Also, by the walls painted a beautiful light yellow, with white moldings in the corners of the plinth and the cornices. Beautiful furniture along the hallway with vases of a finish, color and drawing that seemed to have been made by a master craftsman.

They advanced along a long corridor to the entrance of the kitchen, where the girls were even more surprised by the furniture, lighting, and a lot of artifacts they had never seen. They crossed the kitchen until they found a door with several squares of glass that showed an extensive courtyard with flowers.

Aina went out first to the courtyard, then followed by Sakura and Ana, then Viggo, Kiara, Semiramis and finally Scheherezade. They were all fascinated by the vast number of flower-filled islands along the courtyard. In the background, there was a large apple tree and under it, there was an elf sitting on a white metal chair, with a round table in front of him, covered by a white tablecloth. He looked big, with white hair that seemed to glow and long ears like Aina's. At the same time, on the table were several types of white ceramic wells with all kinds of sweets, sausages, olives, and other types of delicacies. Also bottles of wine and two glasses.

Kain, the god the gods fear (according to Viggo), stood up showing great stature and smiling like a kind man in his thirties. His eyes of an intense blue color reflected Viggo and vice versa.

-Well- said Semiramis -we already know why Viggo is so tall for his age- to which Scheherezade nodded without issuing an opinion.

On the other hand, Sakura and Ana looked up, impressed by how tall Kain was. Between them and him there was at least seventy centimetres of height difference. Then they looked back and saw Viggo carrying the Eina and thought about how big him would become over time.

-I see you're coming well accompanied, boy- Kain said with a big smile.

Viggo just smiled and raised his shoulders. At the same time, the girls stopped, stepped aside, and Viggo stepped by to greet his father first. Kain moved forward to receive him, gave him a hug leaving Eina in between the two.

-It's been time, father- whispered Viggo

Kain whispered back to him -yes, Viggo, it's been time, son. I miss you and your mother also misses you-

Viggo pressed his lips so as not to cry and nodded. Then Kain separated, took his face in his hands, and kissed his forehead. Then he smiled and said -Come on, introduce me to these girls-

Viggo nodded with a smile and introduced them one by one. They all tried to look as respectful as possible, even Kiara to keep up appearances. After introducing himself, Kain made a gesture with his hand and his ring with a beautiful blue stone, strange several chairs for everyone.

-Come on, sit down, tell me what you're up to- Kain said with a gentle smile. Everyone sat at the table; Kain in his original seat, with Aina on his left while holding Eina. On the right sat Ana, then Sakura, Kiara, Viggo (who was on the other side of the table against Kain), Semiramis and Scheherezade.

-This deserves something special, my son brought beautiful wives- Kain said, and in the middle of the table appeared an amber bottle that emitted a golden glow. Kain took the bottle, took out the cork and poured the golden liquid into everyone's glasses. Then he raised the cup and said -for the Dragonroad family, which continues to grow year by year-

All the girls stared at him without understanding

-You are now also Dragonroad, aren't you Viggo's wives?- asked Kain with a smile.

Then the girls blushed, because Viggo introduced them that way at first, but only now had they thought about the meaning. However, all of them had traveled from far away and taken this step of faith. It would be absurd to doubt her feelings at this time. So, they all had a drink and toasted with Viggo and Kain.

-That's it- Kain said with a big smile -now when are you going to give me grandchildren?- he asked, and all the girls spit out the drink at the same time.

Kain just laughed aloud while they all turned terribly red. Well, except Kiara who remained neutral.

-Father, stop bothering them. I brought them so that we would have a new life, not so that you would start joking at us from the beginning- Viggo said with a smile.

-I'm sorry, Viggo, but I had to say it. And well, how have you been? I like your new style- Kain said, pointing with his glass.

Viggo looked at his naked torso, the thick belt with the lion's head in the center and a red robe underneath -this, let's say I walked around in places very different from this region. In that place, Mom was...-

In this way, Viggo began to tell him about Sparta, about Athens, about sailing in the sea, the songs, about fighting with mythical creatures and the mercenaries of Greece. Then he shut up and let the girls introduce their own themes. For his part, Kain was quiet, drinking, occasionally taking Eina and cooing at her or eating something from the wells on the table.

-I understand, I guess you were training your way- Kain said to Viggo, as he closed his eye. Viggo just smiled, and the girls caught the hint. They blushed and Kain laughed.

Already in the afternoon, when the sun began to fall, Kain told him -sorry, Viggo, you are going to have to go to your mother's house, here the rooms are full-

-I know, don't worry, it's just that your house was passing through- replied Viggo.

Kain snapped his tongue and said -and I here worrying about you, ungrateful brat-

-Whatever you say, you won't kid me-

Kain looked at his son and noticed a much more mature glow in his gaze. Then he felt the passing of the years and his eyes took a much more tired expression, aging him instantly a couple of years -as time passes- then he smiled with the usual joviality and said -well, that said, I think they should leave so as not to arrive before your mother goes to bed. Well, nowadays I don't know if she is sleeping day or night-

-How is that?-

-The Denatus comes and with that the auction (you know how crazy she gets on this date). If she did not have her bodily limitations, she would spend days and nights tempering weapons-

-Oh, going to that place would be good, I'll see if you can sneak us into your box-

-Surely you can, every year we go and there are always four or five seats left. So, most likely they can all go together-

-With regard to tempering- Kiara said, she made a golden ingot appear in her hand. Any ignorant person would think it's gold, but Kain wasn't and caught his full attention.

-Metal?- asked Kain.

-Oricalco, from another land. A mineral to make divine weapons, at least in that land- Kiara replied by laying the ingot. Kain nodded and stretched his hand and gestured his index finger so that the ingot levitated in his direction to his hand. So, he took ingot and looked at it at every angle. Examine it from top to bottom being fascinated by its composition.

-I want you to make a shield for Viggo- Kiara continued, she made a roll of paper appear in her left hand and stretched it out to her -the instructions are on this scroll-

-Of course, why not? Does Xiao know you're here?- asked Kain with a sly smile.

-He knows, don't worry, it's not like he and I are going to fight from one moment to the next- Kiara said confidently.

Kain nodded with a serious face and a sharp glow in his gaze. When a primordial said something like that, it wasn't a joke. A single clash of fists could turn Orario into a pile of dust and debris.
