Once again, the days coasted on just like normal. There really wasn't anything of significance or interest. Undine and Night Silver simply continued their daily lives split between working on the connection tunnel, and the school then the more relaxing parts of the days where they would make rounds to ensure everyone had everything needed. And after 6 months of this, steady work…
The tunnel through the mountain had been fully dug out. And a waterway had been properly constructed along the other edge of this mountain tunnel, such that it ran parallel to the one previously installed.
For added convenience, in accessing the dwarves' settlements, multiple points throughout the tunnel would branch off to either side. Specifically there were three entryways, for each side. So in total, there was an outside entrance that doubled as the entrance to one of the two younger dragons' lairs, on either end and side of this tunnel. There was another similarly functioning entrance in the center of the tunnel. While the remaining 4 of 10 total entrances only led to the dwarves' settlements located inside the mountains.
There were several reasons to have so many entrances, 5 on both sides to be exact, however the singularly most important one, was for the safety of all the Nadarians of Tus Nadair. The people of this land would naturally be safer if there was a method to get a Dragon to intervene in any potentially dangerous situation. Hence the reason for making the tunnel so massive, one wouldn't want the dragons to struggle in combat.
The other reason is a little bit more mundane but, putting the travel distance into question, it makes sense, people will have the need to relieve themselves. And in a civilized society such as Tus Nadair, where one may freely express themselves even to the point women baring their whole chest. It's best to have the ability to use a proper toilet.
In the event of someone needing to cross over the waterway, there were multiple small bridges that they could use. Each was automatic and would adjust for whichever traffic it had to accommodate at the time. They were quite handy, and since they were so simple, there was time to make them in all sorts of cute designs.
Moving on to the centerline through the tunnel, there were several points where magic circles laid ready to activate if the need should ever arise. All one would need to do is stand there, and pray to their goddess, then they'd be immediately teleported to a location deemed safest at the time. This was a final safety measure meant to ensure people wouldn't be stuck in a dangerous situation. After all, material is replaceable, people on the other hand, are not.
To add more functionality to this tunnel, spiraling stairwells fashioned into the walls would carry one all the way up into Brightness Dragon Lord's Lair, and thus, also Night Silver's Home. One could continue to climb up and eventually they'd reach the top of the Mountain, where the main settlement was located.
Also fashioned into the walls, were multiple beautiful water fountains. Some were the division of a strong man carrying a large barrel where the water would pour out. Some were designed to be the depiction of a beautiful woman with the water falling from a smaller barrel, held over the shoulder. However, the designs got a little weirder as the Nadarians made comments…
"I love how beautiful this woman is, her figure is what most of the human women aspire to. But could we get one with a mother breast feeding, and have the water flowing out from her bust?"
"Huh?"
"Well, it's part of our culture. I think it would be nice to see a water fountain with this concept."
"You know that these are not just for decoration, correct?"
"Of course I know that you stupid man!"
"Pfft, I can make some like that. I think our art should reflect our ideals. And there isn't anything wrong with drinking from a breast."
"Thank you, Mother, is it possible to also have some variation in race depicted? Right now it's just a human man and woman. While I'm close to that, being a winged human… I'd really love to see a fountain with a breastfeeding winged-human…"
"Hmm, well, I'd like to get a few variations of this with the humans first. They are definitely the smallest portion of our nation. So it's only fair we enshrined them first…"
"Ohh! Mother, can I model for the fountain!!!?"
"Pfft, sure, make sure you dress well for the day."
"I won't let you down Mother! The idea that my body is forever hydrating the weary from within my own breast… Heh I love it."
"You're funny dear. But if you want to be the model for the winged human women, I want you to…"
"I'll do it. I just know my brother would love to model as well! Even if it got a little more exposing…"
"Find some people who'd like to be models. And I'll ask around for ideas. I'm actually curious to see what they come up with."
And that was how it all happened… How the designs trended towards mostly being different poses that accentuated a man's muscular physique. And then… The women with all manner of different breast focused poses… To be frank, Undine and Night Silver were both equally surprised by just how many different poses the people had come up with.
In other sectors of this nation, things were proceeding at a rapid pace. The books on all manner of subjects that were given to the people, allowed them to develop a wide range of skills. Farming to Animal husbandry, and all manner of crafting ranging from clothes to weapons, and construction. Doctors, or Druids, and water mages started popping up far more frequently as well. Which was a good thing, this was the first truly stable experiment.
Tus Nadair, a nation that reveres their Goddess so much that they do their jobs with their utmost ability, and actively try to be good for them sake of being good. These were good and loving people. Even if others didn't agree with their way of life, these people loved each other.
