Omen: 2, 20

  ‘Enting it is,’ Adam thought, surprised that he had mao roll another 20 so soon.

  Upon finishing his bath aurning to the estate, Adam narrowed his eyes. Jirot was cag joyfully while standing on Jaygak’s p. The little Goblin was grabbing all over Jaygak’s face, including the horns which curled up at the top of the Devilkin’s head.

  Adam’s eyes met Jaygak’s, and he ched his fist. ‘Should I Level Up a her?’

  “She must have missed me so much,” Jaygak said, nuzzling the girl’s nose, causio jerk her head back, before she grinned wide.

  Adam remained frozen, unsure of what to do. Obviously, allowing Jaygak to py with his daughter to steal her away from him was bad, but could he take away Jirot’s joy? ‘Did she grow craftier during the month she was away? How scary…’

  “You have such a toothy smile,” Jaygak said, pig the girl up, staring up at her. “You stand on your own two feet, and even bounce along to music.” She bli the girl, noting how quickly she was growing.

  “I don’t know why she’s growing up so quickly,” Adam admitted. “She should stay this small and cute forever.”

  “She won’t grow much taller, and she will remain this cute for some time,” Jaygak stated, before blowing the girl’s stomach, as her father would.

  “Jaygak?”

  “Yes?”

  “Are you starting a fight with me?”

  Jaygak’s lips formed a wide, guilty smirk. “How am I starting a fight with you?”

  Adam remained silent. For once, he realised that he had lost the round. “Nothing.”

  Jaygak pulled Jirot in for a hug, rubbing her cheek against the girl’s forehead. “Your father is trying to bully me, Jirot. Won’t you save me?”

  “You deserve to be bullied after how much pain you’ve caused Elder Zijin,” Adam retorted, before reag up to tickle Jirot’s hair. “Are you still going to mess around when the Iyr is in such a dire situation?”

  “Is the Iyr in a dire situation?” Jaygak tilted her head, allowing Jirot to grab her horns, feeling their hardness with her tiny hands. The girl squealed with joy, almost boung while she stood on Jaygak’s p.

  Adam rubbed his forehead. “Seriously, Jaygak…” ‘Why is she being so annoying? Did she miss teasi’s only been a few weeks.’

  Adam went to ent, plug a Thread of Fate, and thus Fate was forever ged. He still o ent once more, and then he could passively ent the rest of the item until a week passed.

  He tio ent throughout the week, though took a break whenever he rolled poorly for both of his Omen rolls.

  The light strumming of a lute filled the shared estate in the m, and as the triplets greeted their father at the entran his return back from the bath, Adam’s eyes gnced around to find the source of the music. There he found two things he didn’t expect. The first was that Jaygak, the troublemaker, ying a lute. The sed was that his you son, Jarot, was busting a move, wiggling to the music.

  ‘Is she trying to steal them away from me?’ Adam thought, before lifting his triplets up, carrying them to their you siblings.

  Jirot grabbed onto Jaygak’s shirt, squatting and standing as the Iyrman pyed her lute. She squealed noisily and tio make all manner of noises while Jaygak pyed the lute. The Devilkin stopped pying the lute, and after a moment, the twins stopped their dang. They blihey waited and waited. They whimpered and made to cry, and Jaygak could feel the pressure Adam g oo tinue pying.

  “I didn’t know you could py the lute,” Adam said, furrowing his brows.

  “Isn’t it because you don’t care that much about me?” Jaygak replied, smiling wide.

  “Don’t I?” Adam replied, frowning. “I mean, sure, I don’t know that much about you, but you don’t know that much about me, do you?”

  “I know enough about you,” she retorted.

  “You’re a troublemaker who slipped peppers into Jurot’s food when he was growing up, and even now tio give a headache to your parents, and Elder Zijin. You know stuff about jewellery and gems, and you’ve got a queer love for horns.”

  “My love for horns is not queer,” Jaygak snorted back, stoppirumming for a moment, but she picked it back up at Jarot’s expet gaze. “I know plenty about you too. You’re an idiot.”

  Adam waited to hear more, but Jaygak left it at that. “Even if you’re right, that doesn’t mean you know a lot about me.”

  “I don’t o state the more obvious things.”

  “It’s not obvious I’m an idiot?”

  Jaygak narrowed her eyes. “I suppose it is.”

  ‘Wait, hold on…’ Adam frowned again. “I ’t believe you’d do this to me in front of my children. Konarot, you believe this?”

  Kred at Jaygak, before she hugged her father, resting her head against his neck. Kirot and Karot also squiheir eyes suspiciously at Jaygak, before hugging their father’s arms.

  “Jirot, Jarot, e to me,” Adam called. Jirot tio squat, and Jarot tio wiggle his body, the pair squealing in joy. ‘How you betray me like this?’ Adam had already fiven them before the thought had passed.

  Adam spent one of his days rexing with his children, doing nothing in particur. He wondered if he should py Warriors and Wanderers, but decided against it, instead reading to the children.

  Katool rested her head against her sister’s arm. She had finished a long day of pying and learning, and the warmth of the fire lulled her towards slumber. Kitool reached up to pce a hand against her head, causing the girl to jerk awake slightly.

  “Sleep,” Kitool coaxed, allowing the young girl to rest her head once more, before the tiny girl closed her eyes.

  Raygak yawhough threw Jaygak a suspicious gnce, seeing her hand creeping towards him. She eventually rubbed his head gently, before letting him gak’s cheeks were flushed slightly, enjoying his sister’s affe with a ile on his lips. Eventually he, too, fell asleep against his elder sister.

  Jogak exged a look with Sonarot, who smiled ily, before she carried the yawning Lanarot away, to her teeth and ready her for slumber. Jogak looked to his daughter and son, Jaygak and Raygak, and sighed. Something was wrong with Jaygak, but she didn’t inform him of what was b her. He could only guess what the issue was, but sidering how well she succeeded st month, and how she had returo him alive and well, he could only guess the issue was iion to Adam.

  Citool, the mother of both Kitool and Katool, watched as Adam left, taking his five children with him. He carried both the twins in his arms, while his triplets followed after him, their tails dragging along the ground as they stumbled their way sleepily after their father.

  Omen: 19, 20

  ‘Damn,’ Adam thought, blinking at the Omen. It was one of the best Omens he could possibly ask for. If it was a fight, he could evehe 19 for a Critical Hit, just like when he rolled a 20.

  Sonarot smiled, noting his smile on that day. She wondered if she could ask for him to face Morkarai once more, to see the fight before her eyes, but she decided against it. There was o stress him out about enting, especially since, in her estimation, Adam was nearing the pletion of his magical axe, which would be among the greatest he would have created.

  Adam tio ent the on as the week passed by, pleting the on by the end of the month. Wheurned back to the estate, the others waited expetly. He hahe on to Sonarot first, allowio swing the axe around. She could feel its magics flowing through her fiips, feeling a ess from the axe which it didn’t possess previously. She could certainly feel it was at the same level as Phantom, though she wasn’t sure if it held the same entments.

  “What does it do?” Jurot asked.

  Adam smiled. “What does it do, I wonder?” He tilted his head, before allowing the others to py with it. The children also touched it, with Taygak overseeing them, before eventually it returned back to Adam.

  The triplets s the on, before Konarot pced it in her p. It was cool to the touch, and for the Silver Dragon blood which flowed through her veins, it was o touch. She looked up at her father expetly, holding the axe up to him.

  “What is it?” Adam asked, taking the axe from her, feeling how cold the axe had bee. He stared down at it, fused. It wasn’t this cold previously. He reached down to touch Kanarot’s hand, feeling how cold it had bee. “Konarot?”

  The girl’s ears twitched as she smiled up at her father, before resting her head against his arm. She purred adly.

  “Are you okay?”

  Konarot purred again, nuzzling her head against her father’s arm.

  “How you be okay, when you’re this cute?” Adam asked, lifting his eldest daughter up, feeling how cold she was. She was usually a little cold, but she was slightly colder than typical. He kissed her forehead, brushing her hair babsp;

  The tiny girl stared up at her father, smiling shyly up towards him. She reached up to poke his cheek, before she pulled her hand back quickly, rolling up against his chest.

  “Aunt,” Adam called, “Konarot’s a little cold.”

  Sonarot pced a hand against her forehead. “I will care for her to see if it bees worse.”

  “Thank you.” Adam pinched Konarot’s cheek. “You ’t get sick. Just because your little sister got sick, doesn’t mean you worry me, you silly girl.”

  Konarot pouted, cuddling up against her father once more, sug against her thumb.

  Adam stroked her hair tenderly. “It could be because I used a nightval bear core. She might have reacted to it?”

  “It may be the case,” Sonarot replied. “Should I call for a Shaman?”

  “If she gets worse,” Adam replied, noting that Kirot and Karot didn’t seem to be too bothered. “I guess I’ll take a break tomorrow.”

  Adam spent the day, the st day of dawnval, with his children. Konarot was only as cold as she usually was, allowing him to sigh with relief. He watched as Jurot traihe children, assisting them with their physical education, as well as how to use various ons. Jaygak was assisting him, but he hat Kitool was o be seen.

  The young Iyrmaually returned, gng towards Adam, bowing her head, before she assisting Jurot and the others.

  “I suppose I might as well let them py Warriors and Waoo,” Adam said, preparing his notes for the game.

  What does the on do?

  gues Konarot?

  Will Adam ever get revenge on Jaygak?

  Who knows?

  Me.

  I know.

  That being said, I'm having a lot of fun writing the ter chapters. My favourite npc will make an appearan July or so.
