Like that, we decided to go cook some food for everyone. Nyx was made to sit in between Lucifer and I, as she began sniffing the meat, quickly grabbing a big roasted chunk and biting it viciously.
She quickly got happy, her eyes shone bright red as she started biting over the piece of meat more and more, chewing it happily. Her claws helped her tear apart the meat as well rather easily, as the tiny dragon girl completely decimated that piece of meat.
"Awuh…" She sighed, her belly had grown bigger over time, as she rested over her tall seat. Everyone was looking at her adorably eat everything, even the sleepy Brunhild joined us now, she ate so many Ores that she suddenly felt healthier out of the sudden, her scales have begun to finally shed, and she'll even begin to grow new ones, apparently, even her wounded tail was shedding and healing several of her scars.
"It seems you're finally healing a bit more, sister." Lucifer sighed with a smile. "You looked all wounded now but look at you, it seems eating those ores helped."
"Yes but she ate most of what I had… Maybe I shouldn't had been so generous." I sighed. I ended giving her roughly 90% of my ores out of the goodness of my heart, which left us with barely anything. We'll have to just go back to the dwarf mountains if we want to get more. Well, I still got enough to make a few things and experiment with alchemy with Emeraldine and Partner.
"I'm sorry… I was so hungry." Sighed Brunhild. "I had not eaten good magical ores in so many years, I was only eating mostly rocks and sometimes iron or silver ores that showed up, but they barely had any magic in them. The magic crystals, jewels, and other delicious ores were so amazing I couldn't stop myself; I ate to my heart's content…" Brunhild seemed to lament it while waving her tail around.
"Auntie Brunhild is waving her tail, she doesn't seem all that sorry to me!" Takeshi said to me, as he was sitting at my side.
"But mom shouldn't get sad either, she was the one that gave her so many." Said Laura.
"Yeah, you're right Laura, I was just joking around. With what we go saved it is more than enough for our plans. We also bought a lot more which we left with the dwarves. The Furnaces are already placed and their workshop is now being reconstructed to become an enormous building. They're going hard into making a big area where they can create whatever they're feeling like." I said.
"I can't wait to commission them to fix my spear, it is about to break already…" Partner sighed.
"They'll surely work on that." I said. "Also I would like some new weapons as well, or maybe upgrade my staff, sword, and axe now that I think about it. Some new clothes maybe, but they would need to be using magic thread."
"We can work on that ourselves." Said Emeraldine. "I assume you saved the most precious jewels, right? We could use them alongside other materials to make some amazing magic accessories."
"Sounds like a plan to me!" I said happily. "Most of the dungeon equipment drop from the dungeon back in Affnaria were feed to Brunhild, she ate them without even thinking, so we don't have many of those to use for the production of new things.
"Well, it is always more fun to make things from scratch." Said Emeraldine.
"I really overdid it, didn't I?" Brunhild sighed. "Ah, little Nyx seems to be hungry again."
"Grawr!" Nyx began to groan around, as I quickly put a large chunk of roasted meat over her plate.
"Eat slowly this time around, okay?" I asked.
"Grawr!" Nyx began to devour her meat without even bathing me an eye.
"Can dragon children eat this much?" I asked.
"They usually eat half their size in meat every day. They eat a lot at the beginning so they can grow faster. Once they hit a mature state they begin eating slowly." Said Lucifer. "Little bits of food every day, or a big feast once a week is usually what we do."
"I think I've already eaten my entire month's quota, but this little food shouldn't be too bad. Meat and vegetables are nutritious, eating them in small quantities in a human form is nice, it feels like I am eating tiny grains if I were in my dragon form." Laughed Brunhild.
"Hm, eating this small quantity every day does feels refreshing, although I never truly have filled my stomach unless I go hunting by myself and catch a big prey I devour whole." Laughed Lucifer.
"Humanoids really eat so little food, right? Hahaha. They're like tiny ants." Laughed Brunhild.
"Right? They eat too little, hahahaa! It always is funny to see them- Ahem! I mean…" Lucifer quickly noticed my glare, as he quickly moved to another topic.
I guess dragons have their ways of talking about the smaller people…
"You don't need to eat ores papa?" Asked Takeshi.
"I… I don't anymore. After I died and then was reborn as an Undead and evolved until now, I haven't feel the necessity to digest ores. I seem to be nourished with souls I eat occasionally, mostly from the very monsters we kill." Said Lucifer. "My diet must have changed a lot once I became a Death Dragon. Souls feel more delicious now than any ore I could had eaten before. I don't know if Nyx might inherit that. What is her Race anyways? I cannot really see her Status but my children were never born in their human forms neither had black scales…"
I looked at Nyx Status while inspecting her, feeling slightly surprised by what I saw.
She had several Skills, and even Titles right from the get-go, and her Stats were not those that a newborn child would have, not at all!
Damn, she's pretty amazing isn't she?
