"Wouldn't he be better off mingling with other dragon hatchlings. Humans are different than dragons.
"
"I considered that fact and could ask Tannin, however if we show up in the Underworld, there is a good chance someone may notice us and that will lead to Issei's reveal to the supernatural world and I would like to keep him a secret until he is ready to take care of himself. "
"You speak as if I would let anything happen to my little Issei. " She let out her aura a bit, not to much to not wake up issei, "I would eliminate anyone who dares harm even a single hair on my precious Issei.
" Explained Ophis.
"So would I. However, he is a dragon and eventually will take flight to start his own journey.
No dragon likes to feel restraint, not even by his parents. We will nurture and protect him until he reaches maturity and when he is ready to leave us, we will watch over him as he grows to become a splendid Dragon-God.
" Stated Great-Red as he looked up as if in thought.
For a second, Ophis felt admiration towards Great-Red which she could not believe.
"Despite being an idiot, you sometimes say smart things. " Said Ophis with a smile.
"I have my moments. " Grinned great-red as he didn't care that she called him Baka-red anymore.
"So have you pondered on my idea or do you require more time. "
Ophis thought about it and answered "I find your idea plausible, however, even though it is the human world, there is still a chance for Issei to be revealed to the supernatural world. His draconic aura might invite enemies towards him and I'm scared to take that chance.
"
This is probably the first time she has ever felt fear for something in her life as her body shook at the mere thought of Issei getting hurt.
"I I I just don't want anything bad to happen ho him. If something were to happen to him, I don't know what I'd do.
" Stated Ophis as a few drop of tears come out from her. So many new emotions that she didn't even know she could have are coming out to the surface and she doesn't know how to deal with it.
Great-Red was flabbergasted, never would he have imagined seeing Ophis display such pure emotions. He thought about how he should calm her to which an idea popped up but it might result in him getting his ass whooped.
"here goes nothing, hopefully I survive the onslaught. " Thought great-red as he came close to her and suddenly hugged her.
Ophis looked straight at him confused and angry at the same time "What do you think you ar. .
" before she could finish he interrupted her
"What you are feeling right now is very normal, Ophis. You are overprotective of Issei as any mother would when considering the safety of their hatchling.
But, you shouldn't worry so much," he said in a calm voice as great-red wiped her tears off her eyes "As I told you before, we will ensure that he is well protected and nurtured every step of the way. No matter what problems may occur, I'm pretty confident we will get through it and protect Issei from whatever danger may happen.
" With a grin he adds "After all, we aren't the two most powerful beings in the universe for nothing. "
After his speech, Ophis redirects her gaze downwards and removes herself from his grasp. "Oh crap, I may have overdone it" thought great-red as he believed Ophis to be mad at him for embracing her.
She turned around as her back is facing him "I'll only say this once, so make sure you listen. .
. " as great-red prepared himself for a thrashing she said "Thank you" in a low and flustered voice although not low enough for great-red to not understand what she said.
That was honestly something he didn't expect but he was at least relieved he wasn't going to get beaten up. "Your welcome" he replied.
Ophis wiped away the remaining of her tears and faced great-red once again.
"When should we prepare to move to the human world?" asked Ophis.
"I believe around the time Issei reaches 5 years old. That will give me enough time to make preparations and pick a suitable location to live in.
" Answered Great-red.
"Very well, go ahead. "
With a nod of his head, Great-red teleported via his own magic circle to begin his search. Ophis looked at Issei's sleeping form and decided to sleep near him even though she does not require it.
She placed herself near Issei and feeling his mother near him caused Issei to move a bit and instinctually went to hug her. Although, since he is small, he was simply hugging her arm.
Seeing this, Ophis smiled brightly at him as she brought him closer to her chest and soon drifted off to sleep.
Unknown to her, a bit farther lay a bat like familiar that was looking over them and then it teleported out of the dimensional gap.
"At last, after all these years, we finally found her. Shalba-sama and the others will be pleased to hear the news.
" Said the owner of the bat familiar.
"hmm, who do you think is that kid sleeping near her. It seems to be very important to Ophis?" asked another servant.
"Who knows, we will let the leaders decide what to do. For now, we must let them know this information as soon as possible.
Shalba-sama is already pissed at us for taking so long to find her. Anymore and it could have been our heads.
"
Everyone else nodded and teleported to their headquarters.
(At the old-Satan faction headquarters)
The group headed to the council group where are the leaders are located.
"Shalba-sama, katarea-sama, creuserey-sama, we have finally succeeded in locating Ophis. " Said one of the servants.
"About time you found her. It's been over 4 years since she disappeared.
Why has it taken you fools so long to find her" shouted Shalba.
