Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Vahn spent the rest of the afternoon just pampering the twins, chuckling at their 'sad' expressions when it was time to make dinner. Even though they had seemingly fallen asleep, it was apparently a very pleasant sleep that made them feel refreshed when they woke up. He had been able to see the invisible tendrils of 'petting laws' still coursing through their bodies after the fact, a sign their parameters and stamina had been temporarily enhanced by the long exposure.Since he had the opportunity, Vahn helped prepare dinner alongside the girls, being joined by Milan, Tina, and Syr when preparations began. They made small talk with each other, enjoying the pleasant mood in the relatively large kitchen that was full of fragrant and mouth-watering aromas. Cooking was one of Vahn's favorite hobbies ever since he came to this world because it didn't require that much effort but could still put a big smile on people's faces. He still remembered the very first time he had 'real' food at the Hostess of Fertility, earning a heartwarming smile from Syr when she asked what he was thinking about.Dinner was strangely tense because everyone was thinking about tomorrow, knowing that it would be a day filled with nervousness, excitement, and eventual celebration. Everyone was looking forward to having children in the house, especially Hestia, Tsubaki, and Lunoire. As a goddess with a Divinity related to Family, Hestia was bubbly with an expectant grin covering her face all throughout dinner. Tsubaki had strong maternal instincts because she had always been looking after kids, excited at the prospect of watching over the kin of her future daughter. As for Lunoire, she felt that the only thing lacking in the Manor was the presence of children and believed it would make everyone feel even more like family than before.When everyone was almost finished cleaning the table, Fenrir came over with an innocent smile on her face, accompanied by Eina and Preasia. Seeing the two she had brought along, Vahn had an idea of what she had in mind so he gave a wry smile, stroking her large fluffy ears as he asked, "Are we all going to sleep together tonight?" Eina, looking even more beautiful than she had the previous day, gave a small smile in return and said, "Fenrir asked if we could help you relax through the night so you wouldn't be so nervous tomorrow. Preasia's dreamscape will give you plenty of time to think and I believe it would be fun~."Vahn was somewhat surprised, giving Eina a curious look until she explained, "Since Preasia has been trying to master her abilities, she asked for help from everyone in the Manor. I've been able to visit the dreamscape twice now, both times equally as interesting." Preasia gave a small nod, thinking about adding on some words of her own but ultimately deciding to keep it to herself. She wasn't sure if talking about the fact that some of the girls used the dreamscape to just relax with a self-created version of Vahn was beneficial for the current mood...Once the dining room had been cleaned up, the small group made their way to Vahn's room, causing Preasia to take give his bed a strangely reminiscent look. Hephaestus, Hestia, and Loki had been 'monopolizing' Vahn's bed while he was away so she hadn't been able to sleep in his bed for the last few weeks. One of the only downsides to her dreamscape was the fact that smells and sounds didn't work very well. Even touch didn't have any real 'feel' to it unless you were touching the other people within the dreamscape.While Eina and Preasia prepared for bed, Vahn snuggled up with Fenrir while observing them from the bed. Eina changed into a pair of light blue silk pajamas that were both comfortable to wear while being soft to the touch of anyone fortunate enough to cuddle with her. As for Preasia, she surprised Vahn by wearing what looked like small creme-colored silk shorts and a loose silk top that didn't even cover her navel. Vahn could see clearly just how much the fur on her body had developed, now even having a very light layer on her abdomen that would be indiscernible for her fair skin from a distance. The places that previously already had fur had become denser and there was already a slightly magical light shining when Vahn gave her a glance with his [Eyes of Truth] active.Fenrir had also been watching them, muttering in a voice, "Preasia is very soft...Fenrir wishes her fur could be that soft..." Though it wasn't unpleasant to the touch, Fenrir's fur was a little bristly and could even become moderately sharp when she was in high tensions. It didn't bother Vahn that much, but Fenrir had a habit of comparing the softness of her fur to the other girls, with Haruhime being at the top of her list. Though the latter wasn't nearly as soft as Preasia, it was the fact that Haruhime's tail was much softer than Fenrir's that made them 'rivals' in the past.Vahn, fluffing up the adorably floppy ears of Fenrir, mused, "I think Fenrir is fine as she is, but you can also look into developing a spell to make your fur softer in the future...?" Fenrir nodded, enjoying the pleasant sensation from her ears as she said, "Fenrir has been trying to make a spell to make her hands and feet like everyone else so she can interact with people normally..." As if to demonstrate, Fenrir held up her paws and Vahn could see the visually shrink to assume a more human-like appearance. The peculiar thing about it, which Fenrir was likely still working on, was the fact that the hands looked tapered and much smaller than normal. It was a very strange sight, causing Fenrir to frown slightly before reverting back to her original paws.Before he could comfort her, Fenrir said, "Fenrir's ability to transform is limited for now but, one day, Fenrir will be able to change her form just like Master..." Fenrir had spent several months within the orb trying to improve her ability to change form but would always end up reverting back to her 'default' appearance without a constant supply of magical power. It was the same thing that made her regenerate from any kind of wound and one of the few detriments to being an ageless creature. This didn't really bother her too much, however, as being able to spend an eternity with her Master was the greatest blessing she could imagine...Eina and Preasia both climbed into bed a little while later, Fenrir surprisingly giving up her spot so that Preasia could climb onto his body. She had a light blush on her face as she straddled his waist but didn't do anything too sensual as Eina hugged his body from the side while Fenrir snuggled up against him on his right. Though her ability worked by proximity, the sensations shared between people were far more effective if you were closer together. If they were all in contact with Vahn, being able to smell his aroma while they slept, they would even be able to feel his body heat and enjoy his smell while inside the dreamscape.Preasia looked down at Vahn's face for a few seconds, absentmindedly nibbling on her own lip before saying, "E-excuse me..." as she laid against his body. Because of her horns, she had to rest her forehead against his chest but Preasia didn't mind it much, instead, stealing a few whiffs of Vahn's aroma as the glimmering gold light on her fur became more vibrant. As if no time had passed, all four of them ended up within the dreamscape moments later, laying on a duplicate of Vahn's bed while 'floating' around in an endless blue sky. There were fluffy white clouds billowing around them with a vibrant sun casting gentle rays of light through the small breaks of pristine white. Strangely, though it was as bright as day, there were numerous stars present, each glimmering with a variety of different-colored lights...For what felt like several minutes, everyone just acclimated to the changes in the dreamscape, a process that Preasia called synchronization. One of the things she had learned was that, while she could 'forcibly' control what happened in the dreamscape, it was better for everyone if they all 'agreed' on the same experiences. Establishing a proper baseline and clearly defining rules made it much easier to bring about changes within the dreamscape that would easily be remembered when they returned to the real world. If you just let the dreamscape itself take over, things would become very 'strange' in a decidedly short period of time. This would make it much more difficult to remember what happened since the mind couldn't keep up with the peculiarities that occurred, many defying logic or simply being too overwhelming for the mind to comprehend.After they had all synchronized together, Preasia sat up, staring down at Vahn's face with a somewhat mischevious smile on her face. Sounds were something she hadn't quite figured out yet so, other than a few 'phantom echoes', it was nearly impossible to communicate unless you wrote it out. Preasia drew her finger through the air, saying, 'Welcome to the land of dreams~' in wispy golden words. Then, tapping on her own horns, they vanished in small particles of light as a giggle echoes through the space, causing small fluctuations to occur. If she had the opportunity, Preasia wanted to play with Vahn but knew this wasn't really the time for doing so.Vahn sat up, giving a smile to the surprisingly playful Preasia while passing a cursory glance over Fenrir and Eina. He noticed that Fenrir had become almost completely human in an instant, having a slightly more mature body with normal hands and feet. The white tufts inside her floppy ears were more pronounced and her tail looked much longer and softer than normal. As for Eina, her ears were slightly longer and there was a mesmerizing glow in her emerald green eyes. Perhaps she had been thinking about it a lot lately, but she looked even more pregnant than normal, having a small curve in her abdomen.As if she understood what he was thinking, Eina smiled before writing out, 'It isn't just the four of us sharing this dream...' After writing it out, Eina stroked her own belly, causing Vahn's mind to buzz as he curiously observed her actions. If the brain had developed enough, it made sense that the children inside the girl's bellies would indeed be dreaming alongside them, something that was strange to consider since it was far outside the norm. Fortunately, the only thing they really knew was being inside their mother's bellies and couldn't really interfere with the dreams since their perception was highly limited.Vahn placed his hand against Eina's abdomen, imagining himself sending waves of comforting energy into her body to ensure that their developing child was having a pleasant dream. Echoes of laughter appeared in the space, simultaneously feeling close at times while infinitely far away at others. Eina reached out, running her fingers through his hair with a loving expression on her face until a small blush appeared on her cheeks after seeing the looks on Preasia's and Fenrir's faces. Vahn gave a soundless chuckle, causing small changes in the dreamscape until they were all sitting atop a verdant hill, surrounded by trees and flowers.Preasia looked around with a curious expression on her face before plucking one of the nearby flowers, finding that there was both a strong sensation of touch and a flowery aroma reaching her nose. Since she spent a lot of time researching her own abilities, Preasia was very intrigued by these changes and wondered if she could convince Vahn to take a nap with her in the afternoons. Though it was difficult to remember, Preasia knew there was something 'unique' about Vahn's presence within the Dreamscape and this had confirmed her speculations.Though Preasia was the first to notice the changes, Eina and Fenrir figured it out rather quickly as well. As for Vahn, this was only the third time he was in the dreamscape so it was still a very fresh experience for him. There were numerous things he wanted to try out but decided to instead just share the experience with the girls. His thoughts began to race, bringing about great changes to the dreamscape while Eina, Preasia, and Fenrir simply observed alongside him. They all had faces of wonder as Vahn started plucking stars out of the sky, turning them into small creatures like rabbits, puppies, and kittens before releasing them into the verdant flower fields below.After what felt like several hours, though it was hard to tell unless you were focusing on it, the dreamscape had completely changed into a wonderland where wispy elemental sprites danced around in the air while several dozen different types of animals grazed around them. Vahn ended up sitting in a clearing with the girls, holding each of them with a version of himself in their own private realms. It was a little strange having his perception split into three, but Vahn already felt like there were 'two' of him when he was in the real world. Just adding on one extra perspective wasn't that difficult to deal with and it allowed him to share a unique experience with each of the girls.Most of his time with Preasia, they were just floating around while she nestled into his chest, rubbing her hornless head against him with a happy expression on her face. Fenrir spent a lot of time petting and playing with the various small creatures that Vahn had created, feeling a bit of kinship towards them but spending the majority of her time getting pampered by her Master. Much like him, she made copies of herself in various shapes and sizes, including a child-like version of herself she enjoyed watching her Master cradle in his arms. She knew it was almost impossible to actually have a child of her own while having an ageless and unchanging body, so it was nice to be able to 'play' house with her Master...Vahn's time with Eina was decided more relaxing than his experience with the other two girls. He used Eina's lap as a pillow as she slowly ran her fingers through his hair, performing actions like cleaning his ears or humming. The sound didn't carry properly, but Vahn could still feel a great deal of comfort coming from her presence. He didn't have many preferences, but Vahn always found that green eyes made it easier for him to relax. Chloe was the first green-eyed girl he associated with and, if not for her care, he wouldn't have been set on this path. She had served to anchor him to this world, allowing him to feel like he belonged in it for the first time. As for Eina, she had seen through his facade and become one of the key people that allowed for him to share his happiness with so many others. If not for her and Hephaestus, the Hearth Manor likely wouldn't have been a thing since Hestia never would have come down for him...There were so many things Vahn was grateful for, with each of the women in his life taking up a special significance within his mind. Knowing that he would become a father tomorrow, Vahn found himself reflecting on everything that had happened int he past. Though it hadn't always been easy, he had been incredibly fortunate to have experienced so many different forms of happiness. He was already one of the strongest people in the record and had enough power to start bringing about real change in the world. Considering that he had only been in the world for less than a year and a half, his progress had been exceptionally quick.There were still a lot of things he needed to worry about, especially outside of the City, but Vahn felt that it was a good opportunity to slow down a bit. He wanted to be a good father while focusing on increasing his own understanding of magic, elevating himself and the girls to the point where no enemies could harm them...(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Fenrir is very clever...','Sheepish Sheep Person','Comfort')(A/N: Keep in mind that, though I'll be releasing a chapter every day, I'm not sure what times they will come out.

Even when I was writing this, two of my co-workers were distracting me during breakfast xD...)https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

Vahn had known that there would be consequences faced by the Elven Kingdom for their policies, but seeing how it affected Riveria made him feel a bit of anguish in his heart. He had even been willing to let the entire Kingdom collapse while offering refuge to Elves that wanted to escape, building a second Kingdom for them away from the stagnant culture that currently defined their people. Riveria had committed to the same thing, but it didn't seem like she was taking it well knowing that her people were suffering. This made it a lot harder for Vahn to simply allow the Elves to bring about their own destruction, bringing a frown to his face as he thought about possible solutions.Loki, having observed Vahn's reactions, plainly stated, "Vahn, unless you want to become a tyrant that forces other countries to bow to your whims, you can't take any direct action. This could be a way for the Nobles to try and draw Riveria out and force compromise in their favor. At this point, there is no way they aren't aware that she is pregnant as rumors have even circulated through the City. If you go to the Elven Kingdom without the resolve to kill the people that are the source of the problems, you will just be taken advantage of and seen as weak. Even if you do kill them, however, any good reputation you had will be thrown out the window and, even with the support of hundreds of gods, you will still be seen as an arrogant tyrant to uses his power to oppress people that oppose him..."Though she had been speaking to Vahn, Loki's words were for the benefit of Riveria as well, who quickly returned to a stoic appearance as she looked to Vahn and said, "This is the path my people have decided for themselves, even if they didn't know the consequences of their actions. The faith they have put in the Nobles families over the last thousand years will be their inevitable undoing. I can only pray that more people seek shelter with the High Priestess Faction to avoid the conflict..."It was very difficult to look at the situation objectively, but Riveria knew this was still a route that would allow a greater number of her people to survive compared to waging an actual war. There was also the fact that, by selling actual Elves into slavery, something that was 'exceptionally' rare, it would be much harder for any surviving elitist to claim they are a superior race.When the people you put your faith in start trading you as a commodity, just like the races you talked down on, it becomes much harder to keep your head raised and speak of pride. This would be a wake-up call that would resonate with the future generations of Elves, perpetually reminding them of the price their hubris had wrought upon them. Thinking till this point, Riveria hardened her heart and said, "We should establish open communication with the High Priestess Faction and ask if they are in need of any assistance. The Sage Council and some of the Nobles families may ally together to try and force the High Priestess into a compromise. Though their combined power shouldn't exceed that of the High Priestess Faction, there is no way of knowing how things will develop when the Nobles become desperate..."Vahn slowly nodded his head, observing all the changes in Riveria before slowly saying, "We'll form a secret alliance with the High Priestess Faction and come to their aid if anything unexpected occurs. If necessary, I can personally transport goods with my storage magic and, depending on how trustworthy they seem, create a teleportation ward that will allow them to move outside of the forest without drawing the attention of the other two factions. I'll set it up as an emergency measure so it will only be active for a short period of time, enough for an evacuation if they are forced to flee..."Loki, Riveria, and Juno were all surprised by Vahn's words as they had never heard anything about a teleportation ward. Teleportation magic was exceptionally rare, but Vahn was talking about it as if it wasn't really that difficult to set up at all. Riveria had a better understanding of things, as she spent a lot of time talking with Terra, but Loki and Juno were clueless on the matter. Vahn, seeing their reactions, gave a wry smile and said, "I already told you in the past, but the magic system Eva taught me is unlike anything that exists in this world at present. Though I can't go into the exact details, it will become apparent with the passage of time just how different it is. There are several secrets that will only be passed down to a select few individuals, so I can't explain the details just yet..."Seeing the reactions of the three girls, Loki's showing intrigue, Juno's showing confusion, and Riveria's showing borderline melancholy, Vahn clarified, "Riveria, you're one of the people I will be imparting all the secrets to as I believe you are the best suited for integrating the two magic systems. You may not be able to increase the internal reserves of your mana to the same extent as some of the younger girls, but I believe you will become one of the most powerful and influential Mages in the world. You'll understand once our lessons officially begin, but please keep in mind that most of what I impart to you will be a secret..."Riveria had a small smile on her face, nodding with a contented expression as she said, "Very well. As long as our child is able to learn the same magic, that will be enough for me. For everything else, I will do as you say and only confer the knowledge to those that are deemed worthy of it..." Vahn didn't immediately agree with Riveria, saying in a plain tone, "Our child should have the same basic foundational training as everyone else so they can develop their own unique spells. The more advanced knowledge must be earned, regardless of heritage, relations, and rapport. If we start giving our children privileges they haven't earned, there is an increased chance they become spoiled or walk down a darker path."Loki began laughing, tracing her fingers around the back of Vahn's hand as she said, "Look at you, Vahn, already thinking such mature thoughts. I wonder how well that impartial nature of your's will hold up when you actually interact with your kids...kukukuku~." Even if their basic education was similar to what others would receive, Loki didn't believe for a single moment Vahn wouldn't be partial to his own children. He wasn't the type to stand at the side if someone needed his help, especially if the person asking ended up being his own children. Even if it wasn't in the form of passing on secrets to them, at least early on, he would still give them all kinds of resources, powerful protective equipment, and a safe environment where they would be nurtured to become exceptional.Riveria was having similar thoughts to Loki, but still gave Vahn a gentle smile since his words were actually very commendable for a boy his age. Though he lacked wisdom and a noble bearing, Vahn was undoubtedly someone suited to lead, not directly, but by influencing those that were capable of making his ideals a reality. He had a natural charisma and a highly empathetic nature that allowed him to get close to people very quickly. This, combined with the fact that he had a great deal of power at his disposal, gave him a great deal of influence over the direction of the world, even if he didn't personally take action. Since Riveria knew he 'would' take action, if necessary, that just made him even more qualified, at least in her opinion...Vahn felt a little awkward but just shouldered the momentary discomfort, allowing it to completely fade away when he felt a slight movement in Loki's stomach. With a smile on his face, he said, "I want to focus on being a good father to our children and consolidating the power of the Alliance for the time being. The School should be operational pretty soon, if I'm not mistaken, and we can slowly change the perception of people by influencing the younger generations. When it becomes known that almost anyone is capable of learning magic, I believe things will slowly change for the better. We don't do anything too flashy, at least until the Academy at Haven is founded, but it should create a fair number of ripples that will one day have far-reaching effects..."As he was speaking, Vahn thought of the troubles with Rakia Kingdom and one of the plans he had come up with in the past. The smile on his face faded before he said, "I'll take Fafnir with me and raid some of the border outposts of the Rakia Kingdom. This will cause an influx in the number of refugees fleeing from their borders and divert some of the Elven Kingdom's attention to the western front. There is a chance it will also cause some of the Elven Nobles to rethink their actions once they see how much damage we can do in a short period of time..."Loki gave a playful snort before musing, "Make sure you discuss things with Minerva and Eirene before you do anything. You also need to make some time to help two more goddesses with their pregnancies as there were a few complaints about letting you go on the Expedition. Other than that, feel free to do whatever you want, so long as you're here when the time comes. I'm not sure I can keep this brat holed up for much longer before she starts trying to force her way out~." As if in response to Loki's words, her belly deformed slightly, causing her to laugh while Juno gave her a concerned frown. It was very obvious that Loki was already 'ready' to give birth but she was adamant about waiting for Hephaestus to go into labor first. Juno had stressed the dangers involved with delaying labor but Loki ignored her completely, causing the petite goddess several headaches...Though he didn't know Juno well, Vahn could see the concern in her eyes and, as she was a principle goddess of pregnancy, Vahn assumed it was dangerous if Loki kept going for much longer. Since Hephaestus was due any day now, it was possible for them to induce labor without any real complications. Thus, after resolving himself for the 'trials' to come, Vahn hugged Loki with a gentle embrace and said, "I'll talk to Hephaestus and we'll induce labor tomorrow so there are fewer chances of any complications occurring. I've already inspected everyone's body carefully and both twins are more than ready to come out by now..."Even as Vahn spoke, he trembled slightly until Loki grabbed his hands with her own, opening her eyes in a natural manner with a subtle softness to her red irises. She could see that he wasn't just saying something to try and comfort her so, instead of rebuffing him, Loki smiled and said, "Guess I'll need to mentally prepare myself tonight...tomorrow will be interesting, ufufufu~." It was a strange transition from their earlier discussion, but Loki understood that Vahn wanted to make sure things were stable within the Manor before he started taking actions outside. She was also looking forward to finally seeing what their union had produced with her own eyes, as it sometimes felt like she was in a very extended dream with how 'unreal' the situation seemed...Juno released a sigh of relief, saying, "It's good that you spoke up, boya. This idiot should have given birth weeks ago and, if the children develop as fast as I've been told, it isn't safe to delay the pregnancy, even if it's just a few more days. I heard you're skilled enough to even bring someone back from the verge of death so I have to ask, are you going to be the one handling the delivery? If not, I still think you should be there to observe since you should be capable of dealing with any complications."Vahn couldn't help but swallow, suddenly finding his throat very dry but still saying, "I know how things are supposed to go, but I don't have absolute confidence without experiencing an actual delivery. I think I'll just observe and try to learn as much as I can in preparation for the future..." Juno and Loki both began to laugh while Riveria's complexion alternated between a fierce blush and a sickly paleness. She never even thought about the possibility of Vahn being the one to deliver their child but, given his capabilities, it made a lot of sense for him to conduct the procedure. There was even a chance, though it was scary to even think about, that Vahn could make the infamously painful experience 'painless'...---It didn't take long for news to spread throughout the entire Manor, even reaching Hephaestus long before Vahn himself showed up in the room. She immediately agreed to it after Vahn informed her that the twins were both fully developed and ready to be birthed. Since Loki's plight was one of her chief concerns these days, Hephaestus was relieved to know they would both be 'eased' of their burdens. Her pregnancy had been strangely pleasant and relaxing, but the last few weeks had made her feel very giddy and insecure. From the moment Vahn went into the Dungeon, Hephaestus couldn't help but worry that something would go wrong and it wasn't until his return that she finally managed to calm down.Though she knew he had concerns about it, Hephaestus actually wanted Vahn to be the one to deliver the twins since she felt it would make their bond stronger. Juno could advise him from the side and, though he seemed very nervous about it, Hephaestus had confidence that he would perform splendidly. She had seen the amount of focus he could put into something and, though it was awkward to imagine the young boy she had fallen in love with watching her lady bits distort during birth, Hephaestus didn't think he would mind too much. There was also the fact that she didn't want Juno to deliver the twins only for Vahn to move on and deliver Loki's daughter. This could lead to a very strange possibility of her being the only one to give birth without Vahn performing the delivery, something that bothered Hephaestus a fair amount...Vahn was more than a little reluctant about it at first but, after Hephaestus expressed how much confidence she placed in him, Vahn eventually caved in and promised to do his best. This earned him a profoundly beautiful smile from Hephaestus, who pulled him into her embrace and peppered him with kisses. Vahn returned her affections with a happy smile of his own before spending the better part of four hours just laying together with the lovable goddess who put all of her faith in him. Though he wasn't focusing on the change, Vahn's hands slowly ceased their shaking until they were as steady as the unbreakable bond he shared with the woman in his arms...After moving Hephaestus to a room on the first floor, so she could rest and prepare herself for the coming day, Vahn made his way to the dining room with a strange calm settling over his body. It almost felt like he was a passenger in his own mind but the world around him had become far more clear than in the past. There was a relaxed smile on his face as a feminine voice sounded out in his mind, (*You'll do fine, Vahn. The girls have every reason to trust you, after all, you're an incredible boy that has never truly let them down. As long as you remain calm and confident, there is nothing you can't do...*). The smile on Vahn's face increased in size as a gentle warmth flowed through his chest, nodding calmly in response to Sis's words.As it wasn't time for any meals, the dining room was entirely vacant when Vahn first entered, though Emiru and Maemi were quick to take note of his arrival. They came out to inquire if he wanted to take a late lunch but Vahn just shook his head, gesturing for the two girls to sit with him. With a little more eagerness than he expected, both girls immediately came to his side and sat down, leaning against both of his shoulders with happy smiles on their faces. Vahn released a light chuckle, explaining the evolution of his [Petting] into the Development Ability [Grooming] while affectionately stroking their head, hair, ears, and chins. Though such actions would have caused them to squint with a contented smile in the past, now the girls almost became 'lazy' in his arms and just let him lead their bodies however he wanted, unashamedly releasing their own unique form of purring...After a few minutes, Vahn had the two girls' heads resting in his lap as they snoozed with blissful expressions on their faces. This made the warmth in Vahn's heart increase because they truly had adorable sleeping faces, accented further by the fact they were wearing their maid uniforms. He actually had the urge to tease them a bit but held it in since he was already trying to focus his mind for tomorrow. Since he didn't really need to sleep, Vahn imagined he would be meditating to the [Mantra of Eternity] instead. His plans to give all the girls their [Pactio] this afternoon had been changed, set aside until next Monday when their magic lessons officially began.Though he had already detected her approach, Vahn smiled when Fenrir began trotting into the dining room, showing a moderate amount of concern in her deep crimson eyes. Vahn's plans once again changed and he asked in a quiet tone, so as not to disturb the sleeping twins, "Fenrir, do you want to sleep in my room tonight? I've already calmed my nerves, but-" Before he was able to finish, Fenrir nodded her head with a small smile and said, "Fenrir will take care of Master..." Without any further explanation, Fenrir left the room with a confused Vahn who raised his brows slightly in curiosity. He realized she must have something in mind and wondered exactly what it might be...(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Inner Turmoil','[Grooming] with Godhand','Fenrir is very clever (OwO)...')(A/N: I'll be flying out to Arizona in a few hours for my job.

Chapter 662: Dream
