Chapter 230 Dreams Of The Future
Ignoring the incident, he shrugged it off and made up his mind to open a portal to the domain, stepping through it.
As Archer entered the portal, he found the girls gathered together, with Hemera and Teuila explaining the recent events.
All five of them turned to him, and before he knew it, Sera had lunged at him, latching onto him and playfully biting his ear, which made him laugh.
After she had her fun and jumped off him, the rest of the girls greeted him with a hug and a kiss.
They all sat down, and Ella asked, \'\'Arch, what happened?\'\'
Sitting with them and getting comfortable, he began to explain what had transpired. While he was talking, Hemera walked past him, prompting him to grab her and pull her onto his lap.
Archer started kissing her beautiful brown neck but noticed she tensed up like a scared rabbit. Concerned, he stopped and asked, \'\'Are you okay?\'\'
Hemera nodded with a small smile. \'\'I\'m fine, you just caught me off guard. Are we still going back to Ravenna in the morning?\'\'
He nodded, \'\'Yes, we will leave early in the morning.\'\'
Archer was about to continue the conversation, but Nefertiti interjected, \'\'I need you to come to my academy. A new young master is trying to court me, but he won\'t listen. I want you to introduce yourself.\'\'
He turned his attention to the pink-haired girl and smiled. \'\'Okay, we will do it in a few days.\'\'
Nefertiti smiled as she responded, \'\'Thank you, husband.\'\'
Archer\'s smile brightened the moment, but fatigue gradually crept upon him.
Ella observed his weariness and responded with a warm smile, proposing to the other girls, "Why don\'t we prepare some food for him while he takes a rest? He must be exhausted."
Everyone agreed and got to work. Teuila lay on the sofa, engrossed in reading a spellbook. Hemera went to the library to explore it even more.
Sera accompanied Ella to help with the cooking, while Nefertiti studied a tome she had obtained from her academy.
Archer lay sprawled on the cozy sofa, his steady breathing indicating a peaceful slumber.
The events of the day had undoubtedly taken a toll on him, and he had dozed off while the others worked around him.
Ella, with her warm smile and caring nature, noticed the opportunity to rouse him gently.
She approached the sofa with a soft tread, not wanting to startle him. As she stood beside Archer, she reached out and gently shook his shoulder.
"Arch," she whispered, "wake up. The food is ready."
As he stirred, Archer\'s eyelids fluttered, gently nudging him awake from his slumber.
Blinking several times, he endeavored to acclimate himself to the surrounding light and make sense of his environment.
Finally, his gaze settled on Ella, and a drowsy smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "Mmm, Ella," he mumbled, his voice still laced with sleep. "Is it time to eat already?"
Her nod and warm smile encouraged Archer, who rose from his restful position, stretching his limbs as he made his way toward the table.
After they finished eating, he got up and made his way to bed. Before he started making his way to bed, he kissed each girl goodbye.
They watched him walk away like a zombie and smiled as Archer entered the bedroom, stripped down, and fell onto the bed.
As Archer dozed off once more, he soon found himself drifting into another dream. When he finally awakened, he discovered himself in a beautifully adorned room.
Initially, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but as he glanced around, he noticed a tuft of grey hair peeking out from beneath the sheets, catching his attention.
As he approached the sleeping person, he gently lifted the sheet and was taken aback by the sight of a breathtaking Moon Elf woman sleeping there.
She had beautiful silver hair and long elf ears that twitched as she slept, she wore a black nightgown that added to her allure.
Archer couldn\'t help but be intrigued by her smooth, blemish-free grey skin. He wondered where she came from but felt a strange connection with her.
Suddenly, two screams echoed from outside the room, and two little girls rushed in, giving Archer a heart attack as they shouted "Mater!"
\'\'Mater! Mater, wake up.\'\'
The girls stopped running when they saw Archer and their faces lit up with huge smiles as they lunged at him.
The two little girls flew through the air and latched onto him. Their actions reminded him of Sera\'s antics.
It didn\'t take long for him to realize that these two were his and the sleeping woman\'s children.
Both of them had grey hair and grey skin, but one of the girls had violet eyes, while the other had red. They both had two little white horns and purple scales on their bodies.
He looked at the two with a smile and felt a strong love for the two fairy-looking girls. All three of them heard rustling and turned their heads.
The woman sat up as she rubbed her eyes and smiled when she spotted them. The girls jumped off him and rushed over to her.
They jumped on her, and Archer noticed that the girl\'s behavior didn\'t bother the woman, who had a beautiful smile on her face as she cuddled the two adorable girls.
As Archer\'s gaze lingered on the grey hair, a soft knock echoed through the room, and the door slowly creaked open.
In walked another woman, her hand gently clasped by a little girl with short blonde hair and captivating violet eyes.
The little girl\'s eyes lit up as she took in the scene before her, and she greeted the sight with an innocent smile.
Before she could do anything, the scene changed to another bedroom. There, a Moon Elf sat on the balcony, overlooking what looked like Larissa City.
She appeared sad, but then he saw himself landing on the balcony, instantly bringing a smile to her face as she lunged at him with joy.
The woman hugged him tightly, showering him with kisses. Archer observed the scene unfolding until it changed again.
He found himself drawn into a grand hall, where a family eagerly awaited to greet him. In the hall stood an older Moon Elf man and three women, along with their three sons and five daughters.
Just as the man was about to speak he woke up, Archer was looking up at the ceiling. He felt a weight on him and found Sera sleeping on his chest.
Ella and Hemera had their heads on his shoulders, and he felt Nefertiti and Teuila using his lower half.
Smiling as he felt them clinging to him, but he started to maneuver himself out of bed while trying not to wake them up.
He cast Blink and reappeared in the middle of the room, Archer made his way out onto the balcony to relax.
The cool morning breeze brushed against his face as Archer leaned against the railing, gazing out at the vast expanse of his domain.
The landscape spread before him, a tapestry of beauty and wonders. Verdant forests, rolling hills, and pristine lakes adorned the view.
In the distance, he could see the villages and towns, bustling with life as the dragonkin began their day.
Smoke rose lazily from chimneys, and the sound of morning greetings echoed through the air.
From his vantage point, Archer\'s gaze swept over the domain, from the majestic mountains on one side to the glistening sea on the other.
He cherished this place, a sanctuary for both him and his girls. As the morning sun climbed higher, the colors of the landscape intensified, and the beauty unfolded before his eyes.
Archer took a deep breath, savoring the crisp air and the tranquility of the moment.
He heard birds chirping and the distant hum of life below filled his senses, bringing a sense of serenity that eased the weariness from the battles of the previous day.
Time seemed to stand still as he stood there, lost in thought. The worries of the world outside faded away, replaced by a sense of connection with his magical realm.
He took a seat, laid back, and began to recall the two little girls from his dreams. He wondered if this was Tiamat\'s doing, but soon stopped dwelling on it.
Archer took out some chocolate and started eating, enjoying the cool and breezy weather and the view.
After getting some alone time, he heard footsteps approaching the door, that\'s when Nefertiti walked out onto the balcony.
She wore a white robe over her nightgown. When he saw the pink-haired princess, he smiled as she approached him.
"Morning, Nefi. How are you this morning?" Archer greeted her.
She smiled in response and sat on his lap, cuddling up to him. Archer ran his fingers up her smooth back.
"My husband, thank you for accepting me and not pushing me away when you could have," Nefertiti spoke gratefully.
Archer smiled warmly at her words and squeezed her tight, replying, "I\'d never push my beautiful pink princess away. You already mean a lot to me."
