From the back of the room, small wings fluttered, and a red dragon flew over to inspect Karl after escaping from her nanny.
{He doesn’t look scary. There’s no sense of violent intentions from him at all.} She insisted, landing on his shoulder.
Karl stroked the little dragon’s head, and took a bit of roasted frog from Hawk’s space to feed her.
The hatchling tore into it with savage eagerness, and then hiccuped and passed out as the flood of mana filled her body.
"See? Aren’t they adorable?"
"She just advanced from Awakened to Ascended." Librarian Barry noted.
"She was already at the bottleneck, but I’ve got more frog legs if we need them. They are part of the plan to get Princess Rue back on schedule." Karl agreed.
Dakkarian sighed and took the sleeping dragon off Karl’s shoulder.
"I get it now. The whole balance of the world will be overturned if you get to have baby dragons.
Thirty seconds, and they’re starting to advance.
Thirty minutes, and they’ll likely be awakening System interfaces before they can even fly straight or understand cause and effect relationships.
Then what? A whole army of loyal whelplings that will follow the Avatar of the World Dragon instead of their own Gods, that’s what."
Karl waved his hand, trying to dismiss the other Avatar’s words. But Cara’s laughter was infectious, and the rest of the dragons in the room were beginning to laugh along with her.
"The God of Death is a god of order, everything in its time and place. The only thing that is more likely to upset them than a Chaos Dragon is a Time Dragon." Librarian Barry noted.
Karl cleared his throat nervously.
Right, can’t let them know that you’ve been sent here from the future. No matter how funny it is to play with the baby dragons.
"I promised that I would behave and not turn this whole mission into one huge mess. But as my mission is to help Princess Rue catch up to her potential and get the respect she deserves, there will likely be some surprise advancements." He informed the others.
[Too late. I pumped her full of mana all night, and she’s going to advance before lunch.] Cara added.
[As long as it’s not here in the breakfast hall, we should be fine.]
The nanny came over with an indulgent smile on her face while she began to gently disentangle the sleeping dragon from Dakkarian’s robes.
She was an expert, and knew not to let the sleeping hatchling grab hold of him again after she got one paw free, so the process was completed in seconds, and the sleepy little red dragon was relocated.
"Avatar, thank you for putting the little one down for her nap. Sorry for the intrusion." She muttered.
