The Eternal Family



The continent settled into a calm rest. The sun would rise, and it would set. Moon would shine and the sun would overwhelm it again like the day before.

It was a constant. It was just like any other epoch of life had been. The Era of Isiah was the calmest and most casual years the citizens of the continent had ever lived.

All academies, all schools, and every organization were under one head and everything followed its rules.

Every month — even within just weeks at a time. Miracles would happen and for people, that too had become a constant. The world had become a whimsical place for the king to do as he pleased.

But unlike what most people expected, the King wasn't an especially cruel hegemon who didn't care for the people under him. 

The righteous ones of the continent celebrated the king. He released rules that kept them protected and those found guilty of breaking them would be judged in a unique place called 'Court' that had been established everywhere.

Rules were strict. It protected the children from their older counterparts. It gave weak women much more freedom than they had ever expected. Or as others believed – deserved.

But Harry Isiah, the King, was a man with a righteous heart. He gave equal rights and started more than tens of hundreds of academies on the continent and his great deeds only added up to build a mountain.

Annihilated all the Alien beasts and killed any that came into the world with his loyal army or sometimes... Even moved by himself.

Dying people. Yes, even dying old people were exclaiming how wonderful a King they had seen before they died. 

His family was the same. His wives were heavenly beauties who were all kind-hearted women. His daughter was a cute baby angel that no one commoner had been blessed enough to see.

All around, the legends of King Harry were prominent. He was, as of these days, the Heavens of the Land of Isiah.

Not only that, Harry's plans were just at their starting stages. Many people like the ministers knew it and all over the world, step by step, new things were being established.

Buildings made out of glass that stretched high up into the heavens. Vehicles that are known as trains that were being researched which could travel miles faster than a horse.

Flying ships that Harry had named Aeroplanes. Well-maintained roads across the continent instead of mere forestry and mountains.

Well-maintained systems to handle everything without his active supervision.

Harry, the mysteriously profound king was doing wonders that no gifted had ever done before him. That no king had ever done before him.

He was recreating and changing the world in his own fashion. They were watching the birth of a new world.

And for that, people only had support.

No.

Against his strength, they could only support him.

...

As the day ended and the moon shined once more. In the same castle, another baby's crying sound rang out.

It was followed by a deep chuckle of happiness and in Harry's room, Harry took his second daughter from Evis' hands.

"Another baby sister for little Luna!" Lilly exclaimed from the side as she showed Luna her newborn baby sister.

Harry looked at the baby in his hands and his eyes became extremely tender. Nevertheless, he gave her into Lilly's hands and waited beside the sweating Emma.

He was looking at Valeria who was also having the baby taken out of her using gentle Gifts and profound health techniques that Evis was using.

He held out his hand and held both his mother's and grandmother's hands. Soon, Evis took the red-faced baby out with care and cast her protection magic on the girl too.

Evis blinked and gave Harry a look before she stood to the side with the baby in her arms.

They were both girls.

And both had the Seven Sins Draconic Lineage in their blood.

Harry looked at his mother and grandma who were struggling to keep their eyes open and with a soothing voice and a smile, said, "Go to sleep mom, Grandma, your son is here to take care of everything."

The soothing energy filled them with drowsiness and before they knew it, they were asleep. Harry took a deep breath.

After going through with Lilly's pregnancy, he had become a bit more experienced in this stuff and luckily, he could handle this time's labour much more maturely. Tiredly, he kissed their hands.

Evis and Lilly stood beside him and just looked at the healthy new babies. She curiously wondered what her Dad would name them.

Harry laughingly took the babies into his hands and looked at them both. His eyes got misty for a second before he straightened his back.

"I will name my baby with Mother as Mira. Mira Isiah. Beautiful, right?" he asked as he looked at the baby who had already stopped crying.

Evis' magic was soothing enough to calm babies.

"Yes, a beautiful name." Evis and Lilly said at the same time and their eyelashes fluttered.

It was the first time they had agreed upon something together.

"As for my girl with grandma, I will name her Elira," he said, "Elira Isiah. Beautiful, right?"

They were both reluctant to agree together but nodded nonetheless. 

"Dad..." Evis asked, frowning slightly: "Did you use any kind of Gift to make sure they were born as girls?"

Harry shook his head. "I did nothing like that. If they were born boys, it was the same to me. Even I am not disgusting enough to play with unborn genetics."

Evis smiled gently. Indeed, her father was such a person. 

"Then I guess I now have two more half-sisters." Evis smiled. "Elira and Mira. Guess I will have to learn teaching babies so that I could also handle it easily when ours come."

Lilly pouted but didn't say anything and just gently played with the two babies' cheeks. Honestly, it was such a lucky thing her mother and grandma were pregnant alongside her.

The days they had spent talking about their pregnancy and just joking around had truly brought them all much closer to each other and Lilly was now extremely grateful to herself of ten months ago for allowing Harry to do this.

As for Evis, even though she seemingly wanted nothing of her through her actions, Lilly didn't really hate her at all. She kind of saw Evis as her own daughter but the fact that Evis was much older than her and much more mature made it all a mess.

Evis was innately against acting lesser than herself by being like Lilly's daughter, while Lilly wasn't really into Harry pampering other girls like he did Evis.

He could have other women, but Harry should always have herself as his Pampered Queen. Of course, she wasn't an extremist and would not just do something stupid.

She just had to defeat Evis in an upright manner in cuteness to make her brother pamper her more.

Harry knew that side of her and Evis knew too – one of the main reasons Evis was so bent on not losing.

But she didn't mind Evis having kids. Just like how she now lived the fact the three babies were about the same age.

Now their kids could all grow up together. And even though she was slightly ashamed, no, extremely ashamed, she was also a bit relieved that it was a girl.

"Evis, announce to the world their two new princesses. Tell them how once again, two new angelic heirs had been born to me."

Evis nodded and with a reluctant glance at the three babies, vanished. But just as she was about to entirely vanish, she stopped.

"Dad, someone is Awakening – they're trying to breakthrough to the sixth stage of gifts!"

Harry's heart skipped a beat.

"Who? And what's going on?" he asked with focused eyes.

"I don't know who, but my senses just tingled and I know that type of tingle happens when someone attempts to Awaken." Evis licked her lips and Harry gave the babies to Lilly.

Lilly took them into her hands with a motherly smile and laid all three sleeping babies on the bed. Evis then opened a gateway and Harry walked into it. Evis followed.

Lilly looked at the sleeping babies and hesitated. But they had extremely powerful protection magic on them and Emma and Valeria could wake up any time in case of something happening.

They were tired but not that tired. Their bodies were unbelievably strong after all.

Lilly cast her own small magic method around the room and slowly walked into the gateway. It closed behind her.

...

They opened their eyes in a dark cave filled with green moss and ancient rocks. Wet with dripping water droplets, their hearts focused.

"We are currently invisible to the outside world," Evis said and walked slowly.

Harry and Lilly followed and their footsteps echoed into the surroundings like distant drums.

The ground was wet and their footsteps left water jumping across their legs. A faint smell of decay surrounded the place.

As they soon reached deeper parts of the cave, they could hear the sound of a chuckle ringing out from inside.

It felt croaky. It sounded sad, angry and despondent all at once. Harry's heart slightly constricted and soon, they entered the cave's deepest depth with a last step.

And seeing the sight, Harry's heart couldn't help but thump.
