Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

-----

As Amehia sighed, she looked back at her beloved, Emerald.

"Emerald… I have a task… Something that Mother Muspelheim has assigned to me… I'm sorry, but… I don't think we'll be able to travel together for a while."

"Eh?"

"…"

Tyrannus looked down, realizing his daughter had taken such a monumental responsibility, he felt proud, but also sad, such a task would limit what she could do, it would limit her from visiting and exploring the world she had always wondered about.

As Amehia explained it to Emerald, his face slowly changed, becoming a bit more serious, his Dark Alter Ego wasn't nowhere to be seen either, Amehia didn't know if he had either gone to sleep, or something else.

"I see…"

"I'm sorry, Emerald… I promised you we would travel the world together and… I just can't leave behind my home while it is in this state… I have to-"

"I know."

Emerald slowly descended into the ground, as he transformed into his Dragonoid form, matching Amehia's size, and looking at her in the eyes.

"I'll help as well. We can work together, and it will be finished twice as fast, right? Even if it take us years… I won't go anywhere, Amehia."

"B-But you're a Divine Dragon, you have a much brighter future than staying just with me, a lowly lizard woman…! I…"

"I already made my decision… And you're not a lowly lizard woman either."

Emerald approached Amehia, caressing her adorable face.

"You're the woman I love… And I would do anything for you."

"E-Emerald…"

Amehia burst into tears, as she hugged Emerald tightly, her long tail coiling around his waist.

"Perhaps we can ask for Drake's and Surtr's help too! I am sure they won't be indifferent about this either… Don't worry, Amehia! Everything will be alright… And even if it takes us years, it doesn't matter, right? We'll eventually finish, and then we can explore the world together."

"Hm! Y-You're right… I love you…"

While crying, Amehia kissed Emerald, and he embraced her in a lovely hug, kissing her back.

Their lips separated after a few seconds.

"I love you too…"

Amehia smiled, feeling relieved she was such a lucky girl.

As she did, she caressed her belly, which had grown larger over the last few hours.

"I think our egg is ready to be laid too… It might take a few weeks to hatch though… Ah, I wonder if its going to be a boy or a girl?"

"E-Eh? Egg?!"

"Ah… D-Did I forget to tell you?! One of my eggs was fertilized when… you know."

"S-So I'm going to be a dad?!"

"Hm! Yeah! Heheh…!"

"A-Aaah…! T-This is…! Amehia! Thank you!"

As the two hugged and laughed, happy for the good news, Tyrannus smiled silently as he saw his daughter and his son-in-law.

"Both of you have grown a lot…" He sighed, as he looked at the sky, Drake and his family slowly descended into the surface. "Since the Dragon King arrived here, our lives have gone through a lot of things, but… I'm happy it happened."

"Alright! Shall we re-group with everyone else then? Thank you for healing me, Amehia! I think I can fly just fine now, let's go, father-in-law!"

"A-Ah! Wait- Agh!"

Tyrannus deep thoughts were interrumpted as Emerald rudely grabbed him with his giant dragon hands after returning to his draconic form, flying away at rapid speed.

"T-This damn brat…!"

…

With a sigh of relief, Surtr looked at Jamar slowly returned to his little form. Every single one of his giant mushrooms began exploding into clouds of spores, until his little body was everything left behind.

"Phew…! Ahhh… I'm exhausted… C-Can't move a finger… Eek… It felt good to be a Venerable…"

It seemed like he had become half as small as before, actually! Surtr got a bit worried, as he gently brought Jamar to his side.

"Jamar! Are you alright? W-What happened?" He asked.

"It's part of the aftereffect of my power, son."

Suddenly, a trembling voice echoed above Surtr, as Logi and Aegir appeared there, descending while riding over a giant blazing lion, summoned by Leona.

"It wouldn't last longer than a few hours after all… And the aftereffects include becoming weaker for weeks, or months…"

"W-What?! And you still went for it, Jamar?!"

"I-I had no other option, master Surtr! I just had to do it, you know? I wanted to shine like a hero! Heh! Well, I'm alive, so it doesn't matter, right? I'll just rest and recover, and I'll be ready for battle again…!"

"Damn it, you're too reckless sometimes…"

Surtr sighed, as he covered Jamar with a ward of healing flames, helping him recover a bit faster, while placing him over his head.

"Well, your wives also took that power, so their forms will most likely return in… about now."

"Uwah?!"

POOF!

"Eeh?!"

POOF!

"Ah!"

Surtr's eyes widened, the two giant fire dragonesses by his side were no more, returning to the original appearance of his wives, Nadia and Mina, two Fire Giants.

In fact, the after effect was so strong they didn't even look like their newest evolutions, as they returned to being about the same height they were when they saw him hatch, roughly a bit over two meters each.

"Haaaahhh… I'm exhausted…!" Nadia groaned, sighing in relief.

"Hehehe… But it was fun being a powerful dragon, right?" Mina giggled.

"Yeeaaah… But I'm never doing that again!" Nadia groaned, crossing her arms. Even her muscles were mostly gone, as she looked thin like her sister now. "Ugh, I feel so weak…"

"You two…" Surtr sighed. "What if something happens to the babies?"

He quickly conjured even stronger wards, covering his wives to heal them and help them recover faster, as fast as he could.

"Logi, nothing will happen to the babies, right?!"

And then, Surtr glared at Logi with a furious, draconic stare.

Even the Primordial God of Fire and Space began sweating small fireballs off his blazing body.

"H-Hahaha, relax, relax, young man! They will be alright. I made sure they wouldn't be negatively affected."

"Hah… Okay. I'll believe your words… For now."
