A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1674: I Have Eggs To Retrieve!

Archer woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, ready for the day ahead as he had a lot of things to deal with before heading back to Orientia with Meredith and Malakia. When coming to, he saw Ella cuddled up to him with a happy smile corssing her face as she slept peacefully after thier passionate night of love making.

He decided to check on the expeditions as he hadnʼt done it for a week or so. Afterward, he got out of bed after kissing the gorgeous Half-Elf on the forehead before teleporting to the Underwater Worlds where Mary was leading Heacte, Hemera, Leira and Aeris was sheltering on a small island.

It was like something from a fantasy novel back on Earth, a lush jungle stretched across most of it with a volcano sitting in the middle. Archer was amazed at the scene he witness and quickly sensed Hemera wondering in the trees, followed by a dozen Oathkeepers who saughtered anything she didnʼt want to capture.

He couldnʼt help but smile at this scene as he was truly amazed how his life turned out, an emperor of the strongest empire in their part of Thrylos. An army of women who love him and are loyal to a fault, Archer was truly happy thanks to the birth of his thirteen children, causing him to send Nala a message, asking if he could take Aslan which the lioness agree.

ʼYes! I want him to stay with you for a little while, he needs his father, so does Tarek, bring that little devil as well,ʼʼ she said, all bubbly.

His smile widened as he summoned the white-haired little boy, who plopped into his arms with an adorable giggle and clapped his hands. ʼʼHello, As. Itʼs good to see you, my boy,ʼʼ he greeted his second-eldest son.

At the sound of his fatherʼs voice, Aslanʼs fluffy ears twitched, just like his motjers, before Archer leaned down to kiss his forehead. The boy beamed, wrapping his arms tighter around him in a joyful hug. His heart swelled as the little lion nestled closer, tiny fingers tugging at the collar of his shirt.

He bounced the boy gently in his arms, planting a flurry of kisses on his cheek until Aslan squealed with delight, ears flicking like pale moth wings. ʼʼThereʼs my brave lion,ʼʼ he murmured. ʼʼDid you guard the palace while I was gone?ʼʼ

The little boy nodded solemnly, then buried his face in his neck with a happy sigh. Moments later, a shimmer of light rippled beside them. He reached out, and Tarek tumbled into his free arm with a triumphant gurgle. Nefertitiʼs laughter lingered in the air before fading; shed brushed a kiss to Tarekʼs forehead.

She then met his gaze with a soft nod. ʼʼTake him, love. Heʼs been waiting for you all morning.ʼʼ

Archer nodded and gave the pink-haired beauty a kiss before she faded back to the palace where she was resting from the storms. Following that, he went to find Mary who was in the camp alongside Aeris and Hecate were relaxing. When he appeared it shocked the three women who rushed to get him.

The older of the trio was first to step for with a big smile curling her plump lips as a pair of big green eyes locked onto his. Maryʼs expression lit up as she greeted him. ʼʼArch! Itʼs good to see you, we didnʼt bump into each other back at the palace. I went back to spent some time with Artemis.ʼʼ

ʼʼSheʼs growing big,ʼʼ he responded, smiling. ʼʼI saw her this morning while Edith fed her and the others after the babyʼs caused chaos in the nursery.ʼʼ ʼʼTheyʼre your children after all, born to be menaces to us,ʼʼ Mary giggled.

ʼʼThe twins are saying their first words!ʼʼ Hecate happily exclaimed.

Thatʼs when Archer noticed Kela and Noema in her arms, sleeping but were now awake thanks to their mothers sudden shout. He chuckled before using mana to wrap the boys in a blanket so theyʼd float beside him as he approached his twins, crouching down in front of them, giving each one a kiss.

ʼʼHello my little stars,ʼʼ he greeted them. ʼʼSpending time with Mama?ʼʼ

They both nodded but Kela was excited and Neoma more reserved, making him smile as Hecate revealed. ʼʼI need to feed them, they havenʼt eaten since last night and was being fussy when I tried earlier.ʼʼ

Archer kissed both girls before sitting down while Aslan and Tarek dropped into his lap with happy giggles. Afterward, he turned to Mary, asking. ʼʼHowʼs the expedition going? The weather seems bad down here.ʼʼ

The Nameless Thing beauty looked toward the window where she could see the beach they landed on. She shook her head, answering. ʼʼItʼs been rough but there isnʼt any monsters on dry land, itʼs safe but the water is the danger down here.ʼʼ

Archer chuckled at her frustrated expression. ʼʼDo you want me to deal with them?ʼʼ

ʼʼItʼs fine, handsome,ʼʼ she replied, giggling. ʼʼWe need to stay here for a while to keep the subs safe, the waves are denting the hulls and even cracked one of the bridge windows.ʼʼ

ʼʼAre the sailors repairing them?ʼʼ

ʼʼTheyʼre,ʼʼ Mary revealed. ʼʼItʼs been hard work, but theyʼre on it.ʼʼ

Just then, Hemera and Leira appeared, beaming when spotting him, the Sun Elf greeted him with a bright smile. ʼʼArch! Have you seen the warehouses with all the monsters we have for the park?ʼʼ

ʼʼYes Iʼve seen some of them when visiting Hali,ʼʼ he replied, happy at the two womenʼs appearence.

Moments later, Archer glanced at Leira, the cat woman who silently hugged him as her tail swayed side to side thanks to being happy. Once the greetings were out of the way, Hemera grabbed his hand, giving him a knowing smile. ʼʼYou havenʼt seen any creatures like the ones weʼve gathered on this island.ʼʼ

ʼʼOkay,ʼʼ he replied.

Following that, Archer was led by the brown-skinned beauty through the camp, passiong hundreds of legionaires and marines going about their buisness. Aslan and Tarek floated beside him, each boy holding his hand, making all the women smile at the sight. Aeris was the one to break the silence.

ʼʼArch, youʼre a natural at being a father,ʼʼ she commented.

ʼʼThank you, Aeris,ʼʼ Archer replied, genuinely happy. ʼʼIt comes to me thanks to both of my lives and the Dragon side of me. It woke something inside along with these little gremlins who changed me.ʼʼ

He rubbed the boys cheeks, causing them to laugh befoe taking in the sights. The soldiers were looking at the two princes like they were something to protect. He could see them already pledging their lives to help, which wasnʼt needed thanks to the emergency spell he cast on each child.

If they were in danger, it would teleport them into their room inside the Domain where no one could get any of his little ones. After walking for ten minutes, they arrived at a large warehouse humming with space magic. He glanced at the Sun Elf who readily explained. ʼʼI had Hecate create a bigger space inside thanks to the number of creatures flowing into this place.ʼʼ

Archer chuckled at her answer but questioned. ʼʼWhy not send them to the sancutary in the Domain? Itʼs why I built such a thing.ʼʼ

ʼʼDetails, husband, details,ʼʼ she waved him away.

Following that, the group were led to one side once they were inside the warehouse where they spotted rows of cages with all kinds of monsters inside that amazed everyone. He brought the boys over to a big lizard the size of a medium dog with glowing blue scales an big red eyes that spoke of an inteeligence behind them, who sat in the tank staring at them as a scared womanʼs voice sounded out.

ʼWhy are you things trapping me in this?! I have eggs to retrieve!ʼ the monster demanded.

This caught his attention. ʼʼDo you want me to bring them here? This is probably the best place for you on Thrylos once you get into my realm?ʼʼ he replied.

The creatures eyes opened in shock but he nodded. ʼʼI can understand you, now let me touch you so I can locate the eggs.ʼʼ

Archer teleported into the cage, leaving the boys outside next to Aeris and Hemera as they watched with curiosity as he crouched down and put a finger on the beasts head. Seconds later, he found out where they were and sent Mana Birds to fetch them as the little ones werenʼt far away.

Once that was concluded, he left the cage to join everyone else as the lizard glanced at him and asked. ʼYouʼre not what you seem, thereʼs something ancient about you?ʼ

ʼIʼm the White Dragon, a being of legend and great power,ʼ he responded.

ʼThen why trap us? Weʼve done nothing to you?ʼ

Archer chuckled but waved her concerned away. ʼʼYouʼre going to a place where youʼll thrive and grow stronger.ʼʼ

This caught the creatures attention, causing it to relax and after a few minutes, the Mana Birds returned.
