Dragon Genesis: I Can Create Dragons

Chapter 301: I was waiting for you, Father.

“Brother, why did you lie?”

Cirri questioned as she glanced at Igni, and Kael, who heard that question, turned towards the two siblings and,

“What…?”

He frowned.

“Igni lied? Lied about what?”

Kael questioned.

Cirri glanced at her Father and,

“About the Afterlife and the Realm of the Dead.”

She answered.

“Huh?”

Those words made Kael’s frown deeper, and Cirri started explaining.

“No being from the world of the living knows about the world of the dead, we Dragons are no exception to this. We do not even know if the world of the dead truly exists or if it is just a myth.”

“Maybe Igni’s Bloodline knew about it?”

Kael suggested.

While Igni and Cirri were both Dragons, they were fundamentally different from each other. Yes, they both had access to Dragon Knowledge and most of what they knew matched, however, the two Dragons also had a unique set of knowledge that the other did not know about.

Maybe the same was the case with the knowledge related to the Realm of the Dead?

“No, Father.”

Suddenly, Igni shook his head.

“Cirri is correct.

I lied, and I was going to tell you about it after the training.”

He admitted the truth.

“Why did you lie?”

Kael questioned with a frown, after all, Igni had never lied before.

“That girl needed to move on.”

Igni answered. At those words, Kael turned silent, letting him continue.

“She is a gifted Human, Father. She is the only Human loved by the Elementals, not only that, she has a quick mind too. She thinks things through before taking an action, and she is good at strategizing.

She has the potential to be a strong ally and be of help to Father, but…

She is stuck in the past, her love for her Bonds was strong, and their deaths have affected her a lot, so much that she is unable to look forward.

This would have hindered her progress and wasted her potential.

I had to do something about it before teaching her Elemental Magic.

It was a necessary lie, Father.”

The Dragon explained.

Kael stayed silent for a moment. He did not blame Igni, even he could see how Lavinia’s condition—the very fact that she didn’t even try getting new Bonds, even when he showed her his ability to create Dragon-like beings—showed just how bad the situation was.

Honestly, thinking about it, the story of the afterlife that Igni came up with was simply ingenious. The story was not just believable, it also used Lavinia’s love for her Bonds to help her overcome her trauma and move on.

It finally allowed Lavinia to smile heartily like that.

But…

Kael had another question.

“Why did you wait till now?”

“Hmm?”

Igni tilted his head in confusion. He was expecting to be scolded, maybe even forced to brush his teeth a third time as a punishment, but…

“It has been more than a month since she has been with us. You saw her potential as the Elemental Mage the moment you saw her,

Then why did you wait till now?

Were you hoping that she would overcome her grief on her own?”

Kael questioned.

“That was impossible.”

Igni shook his head.

“Her grief was too strong, she needed an external stimulus to overcome it. This is where the Spirits come in. Those beings are nothing but a bundle of joy; if not all at the same time, they will slowly chip away all her grief and reveal Lavinia’s true face hidden beneath it all.”

“Then…”

“I was waiting for you, Father.”

“Hmm?”

“I was waiting for you to trust her. I got my cue when you revealed your ability in front of her. If you hadn’t done that and had awakened Nyrri in here, I would not have taken action.”

Igni answered.

“You were waiting for me…?”

Kael frowned. Igni nodded, and Kael’s frown deepened,

“But why?

You said you trusted her because the Elementals loved her, then why wait for me?”

“My words should only act as an opinion, Father.

The final decision should always be in your hand.”

Igni spoke with a solemn look on his face, and Kael…

“…”

He turned silent.

He understood it.

Yes, he trusted Igni and his judgment, but he couldn’t just rely on him every single time. He needed to decide on his own. He needed to develop his own reasoning, not just for now, but for the future as well.

He nodded as he then patted Igni’s head.

“You did well.”

He praised.

Igni smiled lightly. He was glad he didn’t have to brush his teeth again. As if wanting to make sure it stayed that way, he rubbed his head on Kael’s cheek, completely getting on his good side.

Yes, even the ever-so-responsible firstborn had started to manipulate his father.

“Wait.”

Suddenly, Kael frowned again.

“Hmm?”

Igni tilted his head in a frown, and Kael questioned,

“I awakened Nyrri more than a week ago, why didn’t you act earlier?”

At this question, however, Igni momentarily turned silent.

“Igni?”

Kael tilted his head with a frown.

“I… that was the time Father and I were supposed to stay together. I did not wish to waste that time on teaching her.”

Igni answered, and in an instant, Kael’s face lit up.

He didn’t say anything else and hugged his firstborn instead. Soon,

“Papa!”

Nyrri, who had been waiting patiently all this while, called out, still waiting for his father to jump in the lake.

“You should continue your training, Father.”

Igni spoke in a mature voice.

Kael nodded as he did what Nyrri wanted him to and jumped in.

“Hahaha~”

Nyrri laughed.

Kael’s training started as well. After training with all his Bonds, it was time to train the Water Spells Lavinia had prepared for him.

And that put a smile on Kael’s face,

After all…

It was about time.

With him and Igni hunting the Corrupted Beasts together, he had already levelled up quite a bit, and now,

It was time to break through.

Kael quickly learned one spell, getting the required CE, and just like that—

[Ding!]

He broke through.
