Chapter 95: kingdom building

3 months quickly passed and this old ruins of a kingdom came alive especially under my and my tribes rule in the first month we started training for not just the demons but for the Orks along with the demonic legion I hadn't forgotten there actions in the battle against the elves but I didn't train them O No I had Layla alongside Bull beat how my army operates by the time noon came everyone body was hurting and bruised but the work wasn't done after there training in the morning they set to the task of rebuilding this kingdom this includes plumbing for the hole kingdom wall this was happening Merlin lead me to a strange broken gate like structure that was placed next to the castle the smooth porcelain white marble had thousands of dormant ancient runes running through it Merlin said it was once a teleportation gate but it had been destroyed even before the war with the crusaders came the moment I seen this gate my body froze as a stun expression want across my face Merlin looked to me and shook my shoulder saying Emperor are you alright my head looks down to my shaking body I then burst out into laughter my head throwing back as a peer joyful laughter echoed over the city many people stopped there work just to look up and towards my direction as huge smile spread across there faces as they want back to work even more enthusiastic I looked down to Merlin who had a fearful expression magnificent it is simply perfection gods it was almost like this kingdom was built for me I then walked passed Merlin towards the gate Merlin followed me with a confused expression what do you mean sir how is a broken gate a good thing even if a miracle happened and you was able to fix it the gate isn't connected to any of the other gates similar to this across the land so it would only be a piece of fancy architecture said as he cocker his head I pat one of the still standing pillers of this gate I looked it over for a few moments as I ran my hand over the runes before saying tell me Merlin who are my parents I heard him shuffle uncomfortably as he responded umm sir you are the child of Hades the king of the underworld and Hel queen of helheim but what does it matter if your there child if you can't reach them with this gate I nodded chuckling you would normally be right Merlin for any normal person this wouldn't matter so much but tell me old mage what is the demonic legion he thought about it for a few moments before saying the demonic legion is your army one that you lead with a heavy fist I chuckled a pure discretion of my army of my army but no matter I will just tell you old mage the demonic legion isn't just my army one that I lead with a heavy fist o no its much more then that the demonic legion is my tribe my family and I its leader its Chief we are a worrier tribe old man we join any battle we want and reap the rewards of our service my race gets stronger by consuming the flesh of powerful creatures and as the strongest and emperor of this tribe I have gifted this gift to the other races in my tribe all it takes is my blood and some forceful evolution both I can do with ease especially seeing how your people didn't fight against my cleansing it was to easy to forcefully make yall evolved to have this ability of my race it is way weaker then my people though do to the fact my peoples race was born with this ability it is something ingrained in are dna to have but that's neither here or there tell me Merling and I looked back to him with a huge serpentine grin my eyes glowing a bright blue flame I want my tribe to travel this land to grow to strength and to gain experience y should we sit on the sidelines wall others are having fun fighting against the forces of chaos We are the demonic legion we are the monsters that people have made we are the outcasts who have been mistreated and discriminated against we are the ones who consumes he flesh of our enemies we are the ones who charge into battle with smiles on our faces and when the time comes we are the ones who greats our death with a smile on our faces cuz we will take as many enemies down as we can when the time death will have earned the right to take us so tell me old mage what is the one thing holding this grand army back Merlin's eyes want wide and that look of fear was back his face want pale as me mumbled mobility I nodded as I opened my arms chuckling exactly and with that in mind y would I a child of Hades be so excited about this Merlin looked down mumbling cuz you can use your shadow walk to control the gate I nodded that is right I will leave with only a few troops wall this kingdom grows and blossoms and when the time comes and my tail slammed into the ground when it did the gate and any of the broken parts around it was consumed by shadow all the parts then floated up and fitted back into place the shadows disappeared but the ones porcelain white marble was gone what replaced it was a slick obsidian black marble the runes flashed blue when it did a slick black water like portal twisted opened but the moment the portal fully formed the runes started to flicker as the gate shuttered and soon the runes flickered out when it did the portal twisted shut I turned around sying shit Merlin walked next to me asking what happened sir I glanced over to him asking really Merlin I thought you was a legendary mage that knows countless secrets of the art of arcana hell your even a gold dragon and its common knowledge that gold dragons horde magic knowledge and tomes he chuckled far but the knowledge I horde is the secrets to casting and forming magic aka influencing the weeve that is magic plus ancient machines like the one you saw when we first met I don't know much about runes and the process behind rune scribing outside of the basic knowledge I nodded makes sense well what happened was the old runes on this gate is to badly damaged it can't withstand the sheer power that is my magic Merlin nodded so whats next I chuckled and pulled out my rune scribing pin saying we simply redraw the runes I have already memorized all the runes and magic array that makes up this gate Merlin looked to me with shock how he asked stunned I looked towards him with a huge grin with this and I moved the black leather eye patch off my left eye this allowed Merlin to see the black obsidian rock that filled my eye socket this was still the black ice I used before it hadn't melted or anything hell it glimmered in the sunlight I winked at him before moving the eye patch back over my eye chuckling at his dumbfounded expression Well its time for me to work with that I left the old man there dumbfounded my hand was a blur as I quickly made my way around this gate Merlin watched me with stun eyes just who are you he mumbled to himself is he truly the dragon Naga emperor if so and a huge grin spread across his face as he looked to the north mumbling I must inform the consul. The gate only took me half a day to finish when I did I stepped back admiring the black abyss that was the portal I spun my scribing pin between my fingers and started walking away whisking is a good day but as I walked away is when I heard this 

Congrats Nekros for rebuilding your kingdom gate sadly you can't teleport anywhere just yet you will have to travel to other kingdoms to gates there gates code 

Warning, warning, warning goddess Freya is sorry to do this but she is forcefully taking control of your gate to teleport the main group I sent your way it would seem Odin and his backers learned of my plans don't worry it will be only a one way trip after your gate will go back to normal

When I heard this I froze in mid step a look of confusion on my face but in the next moment my face want pale as I processed that information I turned around in a blur just in time to see the black water like portal service ripple before 4 woman was thrown out of the gate every one of them had beautiful angel like wings on their backs of many colors they had on norse style leather armor on but over there faces was strange helmets that had expensive looking masks over their faces they clouched a assortment of equipment but I noticed all three was badly damaged and one was critical to prove my point the tallest and biggest out of the three valkyries just had time to look around confusion in her Silver eyes that I could see through the mask I heard her mumble where are but she lost all strength in her body her beautiful dark red and orange wings giving out on her the two valkyries screamed sister and want to catch them but I was much faster I flashed forward and used shadow tentacles to slowly lower her into my arms this Valkyrie looked up into my blue slit eyes with shock she tried to speak but she was to weak I side shaking my head save your strength I then pulled out 3 of my needles and they sank into her body easily going in-between her chainmail Hi what the fuck are you doing Lizard one of the other Valkryies said as she lunged at me spear in hand I side and looked to this and growled kneel this one word forced not only the lunging Valkryie to her knees but the other one as well do to my presents they both was stunned that feeling my presents I then flicked a hand as two needle shot of my belt and sank into the two chest one of them screamed in fear but I had no time to care my focus was on making sure they didn't die but that's when the portal rippled again and being thrown out of it was woman in Norse style clothes and armor many of them was shielding very young children with there badly wounded bodies shit my presents then covered over this hole city as everyone heard my voice yell in there head Orange unit to me now I then focused my attention back on these badly wounded women and even some children I could see there soul signatures start to quickly leave there bodies not on my watch I growled and I extended out my hand when I did the surroundings got dark as I used my power to forcefully keep these peoples souls in their bodies this used up a lot of my soul energy but I didn't care as long as these women and there children survive Orange and her unit quickly arrived They was all shocked seeing these new people just appearing in our city but Orange immediately noticed that many of them was wounded and they was only staying alive do to my actions hurry she yelled lets get to work and with fast skilled hands the Valkyries and there people was healed as this happened Bull and Black appeared behind me on there knees orders lord Bull ask I looked towards the portal that was still slightly rippling I then looked up to the sky growling O goddess Freya allow me to get some payback whoever did this deserves to be shown what a true monster looks like those fuckers hurt children on route to my kingdom and I do not put up with bullies what do you say the moment I closed my mouth is when I heard this 

Goddess Freya is interested in your proposal she agrees with what you said anyone who would dare harm the children of my Valkyries deserves to be shown what true hell is like but be warned the group that did this is formidable and is a favorite of Odin and his court if you're willing to go against the king of the Norse gods then send whoever you want through the portal but if you don't want to go against Odin I suggest you 

But before the voice could finish I looked down at the portal with a ruthless snarl on my face, my eyes burning with hatred. Bull and Black go bring me back their heads, yes lord! Like that they dashed into the portal I felt the Valkyrie that I was still holding up hand tighten on my sleeve as she looked into my eyes and in a weak voice she said thank you I shook my head no need goddess Freya sent yall to me to take care of so your my people now and no one does this to my people and their children I heard her chuckle weakly so the rumors are true you truly are a ruthless man I shrugged perhaps this is when the sword priestess came running into the clearing followed by Layla, Harriet, Stone, Ark, Slade and Shosa what is happening Azmo Ark asked as he rushed to a wounded child and started to heal them I side and explained everything to them Slade side well shot that ant good this could mean all the other people heading this way could be in danger I shrugged nodding definitely but can't do much for them we can only buff up security around here this reminds me and I looked to stone saying give it to him Stone nodded and walked up to Slade and held out a simple box Slade took it with confusion what is this Azmo Stone chuckled congrats lad Slade opened the box amd resting on a simple red pillow was a smith and Wesson Russian model the same gun that billy the kid used to grate effect the chambers was gold and black wall the rest of the gun was obsidian red with silver grips and there at the top of the grip was the 6 pointed star and resting just above this pistol was a obsidian black 6 pointed star and there in big white words on it Slade looked up to me with shock are you sure brother you want me the vessel to the angel of wrath to me sheriff I chuckled you are much more then that brother you are the vessel to the angel of wrath and sin ones more I can't think of no one better to keep our kingdom streets safe besides and I chuckled you are the srcond fastest hand in this hole kingdom but don't worry when the time comes you and your force will join us on the battlefield I wish for you to build your own unit we will call the suicide posse in honor of our fallen friends and comrades so what do you say brother will you do it Slade looked down into the box before he looked up to me sying I will do this brother with that he took out the badge and put it on his left chest right over his heart he then pulled out a newly made holster I looked Stone saying I am stepping up our plans Stone get everything ready make the thing He bowed as you wish sir with that he hobbled off I looked down to this Valkyrie in my arm she was still tightly holding my arm but I could tell she had passed out this is when two shadows loomed over me I looked up to see two beautiful smiles that wasn't smiles on my two loving wives so who is this dear Layla asked honestly dearest husband can you not control your self especially in front of your pregnant wife I smiled noticing her stomach had gotten bigger just in the short time we being here I want to move but this Valkyrie other hand shot out and pulled me down I glanced down to see this Valkyrie eyes just barely open and I could sense her amusement but sadly for her and I disappeared and appeared behind Harriet and wrapped my arms around her as I picked up on her stomach when I did Harriet melted in my arms as she let our a satisfied moan ones this is over y dont I give you a massage wifeys and I kissed Harriet neck as a shadow tendril slipped under Layla dress and it started massaging her thighs Layla leaned against my back in enjoyment but sadly all good things must come to a end the portal rippled when it did several heads was thrown through the portal before Bull and black walked through they both walked up to me and kneeled I looked to them asking so report Black nodded sir we believe the people that attacked the group are called barbarians they fought with reckless abandon they would just shrug of blows that would be lethal to any normal man plus they was in this strange rage state it was almost like they was hight of something to prove this we found these and he waved his hand as a brown top mushroom appeared in front of me I picked it up and sniffed it I nodded I don't know the name of this mushroom but I can smell its effects those wasn't barbarians but berserker a classic Norse Berserker I looked at the heads and nodded waving my hand when I did the heads sank into shadow good I assume you grabbed everything you could right Bull nodded yes master this includes the Groups carts Bull then looked to Black who nodded and flicked his hand and appearing out of the shadowy rift was 5 carts all full of personal belongings two out of the 5 carts had broken wheels but other then that it was fine I nodded good work go rest I then looked to my girls saying shall we go back they nodded with that the Valkyries joined in the training for the rest of the first month and into half the second month Stone and I worked on a force field that covered the hole kingdom this completely camouflage our kingdom and got rid of any energy or presents coming from our kingdom not even the gods could locate nor sense my kingdom and its inhabitants wall this happened the farms was being set up and cattle was being bot and cot after Stone and I was done with the concealment barrier is when the next batch of individuals appeared all though they was definitely lost as fuck haha my barrier didn't just conceal my kingdom but also shrouded the woods around my kingdom in a thick fog that literally dampened one's senses funny enough though most animals was perfectly fine living in this environment hell they quite enjoyed it actually but back on topic it was Slade along with some of Mesh scouts doing there normal sweep through the woods when they came in context with a group of colorful individuals who was cursing to them selfs as they moved through the foggy woods these were the titan children all of them was oddly unique but at the head of this group was a tall thick wall of a man his presents was very intense and his face was forever in a frown his light red eyes shined in irritation but he trudged on Slade appeared in front of this group when he did they all draw weapons and got ready to attack but Slade held up his hand saying friendly the leader of this group scoffed do you truly think we would believe just your words little man Slade smiled at them and shrugged I do not care if you trust me or not but if you wish to reach the fallen Sun Kingdom then you will have to trust me sense only those who live in the kingdom can navigate this fog the man glared at Slade as he scanned him over before he side nodding far enough we will trust you stranger Slade nodded and turned around saying follow me but the moment Slade back faced this group one of the people raised his boomstick with a cynical smile on his face but as fast as lightning Slade spun around as he drew his revolver is shot echoed through the woods as the broomstick in the man hand was shot out of it Slade pulled back the hammer on his gun and grinned at the man care to try again the man looked down the barrel of Slades pistol before he spat I dont trust you Slade lowered the hammer on his gun before holstering it as he shrugged I do not care that isn't my problem what I do care about is upholding and reinforcing the laws of the demonic legion we dont got many so even a stupid brute like you could understand them 

Do not betray the demonic legion in any way if you do our king isn't a forgiving man and you will wish for death by the time he is done with you 

Do not fatally harm anyone in the tribe unless both parties agree to a duel to the death 

Do not force yourself on anyone or anything if you do you wont just be labeled a traitor but also as food you will be skinned alive amd eaten 

All genders and races are equal so treat them such of you dont the empress will handle your punishment personally and trust me she is much worse then the emperor 

If found miss treating those in the tribe or selling the tribes information you will be made an example of 

All adults in the tribe must undergo combat training the age that doesn't got to train depends on the race but for humans 13 with parents or guardian permission but all who are 15 must start there training 

If one goes into battle they will be treated as an adults from there on so they can do adult things like drink and get married cuz if one is able to train amd go to war one is entitled to the right to do what they want 

Those who isn't directly enlisted in the army will be given a job but be warned this is a worrier Tribe so there will be a time when you got to take up arms 

And lastly the sheriff and his deputy's have the right to enforce these laws in anyway they think is necessary 

So hello there I am the sheriff to the kingdom and you just tried to kill me so do we have a problem Brat Slade hissed when he did that his head burst in right blue flames the man looked into Slades eye sockets with an arrogant and prideful expression but the next moment his face want pale and a look of fear was all that was left he quickly shook his head no sir we have no problem Slade nodded good what about the rest of you do we have a problem and he scanned over the rest of them all of them matched his gaze but all of them looked away with pale expressions even the big man couldn't match Slades gaze for long they all shook there heads Slade nodded good and like that he was back to normal follow me this was 100 powerful combatants O right the Valkyries and there daughters had a total number of 600 but 100 of those was children so only 500 combatants. I sat in the throne room on my shadowy throne of souls Layla on my left and Harriet who looked like she could pot any day now on my right we was getting a report of the city and its progression we was right on schedule I looked to Stone saying after we get the farms up in running your man along with Solly unit will head to the mines under this city and fully map and restore them before getting to work Slade nodded with pleasure sir but this is when Bee stepped forward gone was his old armor and clothes he now had on similar armor to Ark this was do to the fact I tasked Ark with leading a unit of spear and shield phalanx warrior this was do to the fact most of the Valkyries children used sword and spear Bee had joined them and Ark had appointed him as his second on command Bee was in charge of his own sub unit that forgone big shields for more crowd control weapons like halberds, Claymore and axes oddly enough a lot of the children of the titans used such weapons the ones who didn't was either the people who skills was more suited for more traditional work like farming, or forging wall the others was more monk-like fighters hand to hand and grappling I sent them to Slade figuring there skills could be useful for him but I cleared my mind as Bee looked to me smiling brother I have information on that topic actually as you all have seen the magic items that came out of our kingdom wasn't simple ones they was quite powerful and this was do to two things the mithril mines under us and the legendary forge that was carved out of the heart of an ancient fire dragons core and the soul of a fire giant this force is said to lay somewhere under the castle but the location has been lost to time my eyes shunned with excitement oooo goody a scavenger hunt I do love those I will start looking for it after the meeting thank you brother be bowed no need just doing my job sir like this the meeting soon ended but I had another meeting to attend before I go looking for this forge we find our self settled in my office there was a huge bookshelf behind a simple metal desk on the left wall was a window that had sun shining through it placed in front of the desk was two comfy chairs but in the center of this room was a few couches with a coffee table between them I sat in the center of one Layla and Harriet on either side of me across from me was the snake elder of my tribe she sat oddly elegant on the couch for having serpentine lower half next to her was The sword priestess she had a nervous smile on her face and she kept glancing towards me Layla smiled seeing this and looked to me and I felt her emotions amusement mixed with O she sort of cute I side glancing to her mumbling horn dog but Harriet elbowed me in the side as she glanced at me smiling I side damn I am already being ganged up on with only two of them I don't know if I can handle anymore woman I looked to the elder saying thank you elder for being here today I know your busy with making alchemy supplies for us she shook her head and smiled no need Azmo It is my pleasure to be here ones more I am the only expert on this matter I nodded I nodded and looked to the sword Priestess saying I thank you also she nodded I may not have helped give birth to a naga child but I have helped plenty of Kobolds so but the elder snorted we are two completely different species girly Kobolds can only impregnate their own kind wall us Nagas have no such weakness ones more our bloodline is so strong that it practically eliminates the other partners bloodline there dna will still be mixed with the child but nothing more and in the rare cases that a naga mates with another naga the twos bloodlines will merge Azmo and I are a walking example of that I nodded very true ones more our children form and age very fast even without them evolving for the first time the elder nodded very true all though in all my years I have never seen anyone grow as fast as you child you are extraordinary and I suspect your children will be even more extraordinary I chuckled as I scratched the back of my head stop your making me blush I said Layla then leaned forward asking how long do you think we got till it happens The elder looked to Harriet with studding eyes she smiled I suspect she will lay the egg very soon hold on egg the sword priestess yelped and looked to Harriet with concern he elder broke out into laughed but of course like I already said before us Naga bloodline completely dominates and overpowers other races bloodline so even if the father is a naga and the mother is a elf there child will always be a naga no crossbreed between the two races this doesn't mean characteristics from the none naga parent is erased nor does it mean there blood doesn't flow through there child veins it just means when ever a Naga mates and has a child it will only be a naga child so naturally us nagas hatch out of eggs soon after they are laid I remember the few elder back when I was a child remembered when the nagas thrived in this world they told me stories how all naga parents was very loving but strict on there children so they could grow up to be even better then them it was very common for Naga households to have upwards to 10 children per family back in them days it was fround upon to mate with other races do to the simple fact us Nagas live as long as our sworn enemy the dragons we outlive most other races this includes the elves but that doesn't matter now she side the old empire is gone along with its rules you are the future child and that all that matters to me I smiled nodding I thank you miss if you can stay close by the castle the next few days so when the time comes you can assist with the egg-laying she nodded it will be my honor to assist your second wife gods this will be the sixth generation of naga's children damn I am getting old we all got a kick out of that. I walked through the dark halls of my castle with calm confident steps I have searched everywhere but I couldn't find this so called legendary smithy but I hadn't given up hope I had confidence I would find it as I walked I stopped in front of a broken window and enjoyed the moons light that shined through the window I closed my eyes and smiled you know it isn't polite to stare so intensely at me I heard a female click her tongue annoyed really child them senses of yours are no joke to even be able to sense me in my nature domain is both astonishing and scary I chuckled and opened my eyes and looked to the figure that was leaning against the edge of the window a tall tan woman with fears but very beautiful features her silvery moon white hair was pulled back into a hunters braid she had on simple hunters cloth and slung on her back was a beautiful blue and white blow that almost shined with the moons light her bright glowing blue eyes radiated with power and currently they was squinting at me like she was trying to figure out all my secret in just one look I smiled saying hello goddess of the hunt Artemis it is a pleasure to see you again in this new life she chuckled you sure have kicked the hornets nest haven't you child good work on the barrier by the way I was lucky to have cot some of your aarakocra flying into the fog that surrounds these woods all though it took me the hole day to find this place I nodded shrugging the barrier is great but nothing is perfect besides this place wont be hidden forever plus I am not scared that you will do anything to me or my people miss Artemis she nodded that's far I mean you and your people no harm but I came here for a reason I raised a eyebrow asking O what reason is that she pushed off the wall and stepped in front of me saying Athena says you was the one that cured her is that right? I nodded that is correct yes she side good then you must help Poseidon and his people your fathers kingdom is being hit the hardest out of all the other kingdoms yes but Poseidon kingdom atlantis is the second kingdom that is getting hit hard and unlike your father who has strange new weaponry and tactics Poseidon has none of that ones more all of Poseidon's warriors are living unlike your fathers I raised a eyebrows asking y should I help him when my fathers land is being hit the hardest ones more my mentor Athena kingdom is being hit very hard right now to my plan was to help her first then teleport to my fathers land fuck even if I wanted to help how could I reach Poseidon haha we dont got much sea water around here she shook her head saying your wrong a bit farther to the north west there is a river that leads strate into the sea It cuts from one sea across the land connecting it to the other side there is where Poseidon will send someone to pick you up I side I do owe my uncle for defending me all those years ago fine I will help him but I won't be leaving till another month this place still needs my eye to keep everything on track ones more my child is about to be born I will not miss that she nodded understandable I will pass on the message to Poseidon good night child and good luck on your scavenger Hunt remember sometimes one must have the keys before the path shows its self I chuckled I thank you for your wisdom and good luck goddess of the Hunt may your bounty be plentiful and your aim true she smiled and disappeared in the moons like mmmmmm what did she mean by keys hold on and I pulled out the badly damaged crescent moon chakrams you was made there show me the way I mumbled as I put the two weapons together and channeled my power into them immediately the chakram started to float in front of me the next second they shot forward in a blur I grinned now we talking and I disappeared after them I ended up back in my office the chakrams was pointing towards the bookshelf I walked forward and ran my hand through this metal bookcase and there at the very top of it was a hidden button when I pushed it the bookcase swung open the Chakram disappeared through the hidden door I quickly followed down the stairs when I did the door shut behind me I traveled deep under the castle in seconds when I got to the bottom of the stairs it opened up into a huge familiar smithy a huge forge that faintly glowing magma in it with a mithril anvil and tools laying around hell there was half complete projects made from mithril and other precious materials and there handing over the forge was a banner that had the emblem of Hephaestus the Greek god of smithing my chakrams floated over the magma and I sensed a emotion from them the emotion of a child returning back to there mother after it had been a while I smiled praze be Hephaestus gods he knows exactly how to make a smiths heart beat hahahaha let is begin with that I spent most of the third month in my smithy repairing my chakrams to their former glory hell they might even me slightly better but I also improved my armor I gotten Stones secret on how he did the helmet thing and I greatly improved off it now my hole armor could be fitted inside of a fist sized diamond shape red and black gem that I embedded in my chest and with a simple thought from me and my armor would form on me or when it senses danger very cool the only time I stopped was when Harriet layed our egg it was a scaly light red and black color and it had taken a lot out of Harriet but we both was happy in the next few weeks the egg was under very tight severity plus the elder stayed close by to it tending to it along with Harriet after she recovered but it was at the end of the third week when it hatched a small serpentine humanoid with light red and dark green scales he had my hood but a more lizard like body plus he had a small pointed tail that was complety harmless for now till his scales hardens then we will need to worry and his bright purple serpentine slits stared back at Harriet and I as we hugged the boy between us my boy welcome to the world Harriet said with tears in her eyes I smiled down at him saying welcome little Nekros haha the kid reached out and patted my face giggling it would seem he is going to be a little trouble maker like his father Layla said as she walked forward and hugged us both she looked at the baby with a huge grin saying so what is his name I looked to Harriet who nodded at me she then raised him up saying Eragon Briar Nekros Layla nodded a good strong name with that Eragon was brought into the world and as I thought he was a dragon Naga and boy did he have a apatite I made sure to feed him high level monster meat wall Harriet did breastfeed him on top of that it would seem elven breast milk is very high on nutrition and energy value by the time the third month ended little Eragon was already the size of a 10 to 12-year-old we had gone quite a few hunts as a family and the child was very skilled with a bow and dual shortswords he didn't really like the spear nor a shield but he did enjoy using guns but I didn't forge him anything O no I had him make his own equipment out of the monster materials he was able to kill along side Harriet, I and Stone the child was set up for success when it comes to forging and rune scribing and now we stand at the gate of the kingdom I road on Artemis wall Eragon was on his own raptor that he was able to wrangle and tame it wasnt as big nor fearsome as Artemis but his raptor was still pretty big it had dark green scales with orange feathers over his raptor was simple iron armor that had uncommon runes going across it wall Eragon had on a mix of plate armor that looked like it was made from a black turtle shell and leather on his hips was his short swords made from the teeth of a serpent beast and slung over his back was a familiar bow and quiver it was the first bow and quiver I ever had made in this world it would seem Mesh had kept it this hole time even after she outgrow them I smiled seeing my son fit for battle he stood next to me I flicked my tail out and slapped him on the back this made his back straighten he looked to me growling what was that for father I chuckled shrugging just seeing if your truly ready for this son you old fuck he hissed you just felt like doing it dont lie I shrugged winking at him saying what if I did what you going to do about it pup Eragon jumped up on his saddle and lunged towards me trying to tackle me off Artemis bt I cot him with ease as I started tickling him he broke out in laughter saying stop, stop, stop he punched my chest and tried to escape my wrath Layla and Harriet stood in front of us with worried expressions but they smiled seeing father and son playing together but Layla cleared her throat saying now that is enough boys Eragon and I froze in mid pose he had a boot in my face as he tried to escape from my arms wall I had him tightly locked in one arm as my other hand tickled him we slowly looked to her and side yes mem and I gave him a boost as he pushed off me did a flip in the air before he landed in his raptor Harriet walked up to him and hugged him tightly wall Layla walked next to Artemis and pat her head as she looked to me saying please be careful Hon I know you're strong but you ant just looking after your self but our son also I smiled as I leaned down and kissed her deeply and as I pulled away I nodded do not worry wifey I will protect the kid with my life but the kid is a Nekros he must understand what that means especially sense he has inherited my power over death honestly I wasn't expecting plant magic to go well with my death magic but here we are Layla nodded I understand your reason Hon but that doesn't mean I got to like it he is only 1 month old he shouldn't have to worry about stuff like this I side and shook my head saying I was no older then he was when I was forced to hunt dangerous monsters for food I want through my first evaluation in the first month Layla and he will do the same I can feel it she side and nodded ok Hunter but try and not be to hard on him out there I side I will be as hard as I need to be so he can survive this world like this Layla nodded and walked to Eragon wall Harriet walked next to Artemis and looked up to me with red puffy eyes but before she could speak I leaned down and tightly wrapped my arm around her as I stared into those green eyes I love so much please bring him back to me Azmo she mumbled please both of you come back in one piece please I pulled her close and pressed my head against hers lovingly we will be back my dear this I promise and maybe when we come back our kid might be taller than you she giggled he better not I want to enjoy him being a child for a bit longer but I understand your reasons I may not like them but I respect them I nodded stay safe my dear and with that I kissed her deeply she

on my face as I said ok pup do you remember our deal he nodded yes father if I was to come with you on this mission I was to follow your orders to the ledder if you say run I run of you say hide I
