First Demonic Dragon - Chapter 893

Chapter 893: Burning Rebirth
I feel… stuck.

I can’t see anything. Could I ever see anything?

I don’t remember anything. Have I lived before?

I don’t want to stay here. I need to move.

I can’t tell if I’m moving.

Everything feels cold. There is no reprieve here for me. I am lost.

Am I crawling..? Am I walking..? Am I flying..?

As a matter of fact, could I ever do any of those things?

They seem almost like second nature. My soul knows I should, but I…

I can’t remember. This is driving me insane.

Help! Someone!

Am I yelling? It doesn’t feel like I’m yelling. My words won’t come out. I can’t even feel my lips.

Have I ever even had lips..? I had to have at some point, right?

This is driving me insane…

My mind cannot bear this strain. I’m suffocating here.

And it’s so cold. So quiet.

I can’t stand it. I want to cry. Have I ever cried before?

How many years has it been now? I’ve gone insane more times than I can count.

This cold stings my bones. It grips me so tightly that I cannot even move a limb out of place. Maybe I never had them.

Perhaps I am a blind old serpent left out in the frigid cold to die.

If I am, I beg for death to come and claim me. Any sort of reprieve from this brand of madness will do.

I am in such agony that… What? What is that?

Hel..Hello?

A-A person! Finally, someone to talk to! Please, can you help me?! Maybe even tell me where we are?!

I… know nothing. This place is nothing. I have no knowledge of it or you. Nor can I give you the aid you seek…

B-But, you’re touching me! I can feel you touching me!

An occurrence that shocks us both. And surely not one of my own devising.

…Even if its not your own choosing, I must say thank you. It is warmer now.

…

Do you know your name?

I do not.

Yea, I’m drawing a blank on mine too… what do you think we were before we ended up here..?

Beings of ill repute scorned by the masses for reasons we can not hope to guess. It is the only explanation for why we suffer such a cruel punishment as this.

…You think we’ll ever get to apologize? If that is the case I mean…

… No.

Damn…

Indeed we are.

…

…

…At least we have some company now, right? Things won’t feel so bad anymore.

Yes. Until we are likely both rendered insane together.

H-Hey… do you see that?

Impossible… there is light?

G-Go towards it. Quick!

I cannot move. Nevertheless, it seems that I do not need to. It is coming to us.

I-It’s bright..! Too damn bright!

Shield your eyes! We know not which form of trickery this might be!

–

… Where am I? I can’t move, but I… I feel warm.

I have no body. But I can feel myself growing. Slowly but surely.

I feel.. so very tired.

Where was I before..? I’ll just… rest for a bit and then I’ll figure it all out. Maybe.

– Present

Steam poured out of the bathroom door as Bekka shamelessly threw it open.

Abaddon was just getting out of the bath when the door opened. His body was still slick with boiling hot water and his hair still clinging to itself behind his back.

When the door was thrown open, he reflexively covered himself without really understanding why.

“B-Bekka, this all feels very-”

“Don’t worry, my dear. What’s a bit of skinny dipping among friends?”

“A-Are you trying to tell me that you’ve done this with the likes of Nyx before?”

“Fuck Nyx…. Pause.”

Abaddon had no idea how things had ended up like this, but he was more confused than bothered at this point.

“Umm… you girls seem to be bonding a bit.”

Bekka looked up at her husband and smiled. “This one here invited me on your date. I hope you don’t have a problem sharing her?”

Abaddon looked both women up and down. The stark contrast between their bodies was most tantalizing. “…I’m quite certain I can handle you both.”

“Good! Then would you mind cutting the water back on?” Bekka was already pulling off her robe and heading towards the shower area.

Abaddon stepped back into the shower just as she entered.

Her smile indicated that she did find this situation amusing.

‘Care to explain to me how this happened..?’

Bekka just shrugged as she stood underneath the water.

‘Curiosity, I guess. I wanted to know how hard she would refuse if she did at all.’

‘And..?’

‘You don’t see here leaving, do you?’

Abaddon glanced over Bekka’s head.

Izanami was all the way on the other side of the bathroom with her back towards them.

Judging by the movement of her arms, Abaddon guessed her to be unbuttoning her shirt.

He was revealed to be correct a few seconds later.

‘What happened to us waiting..?’

Bekka shrugged. ‘No one said we had to have sex with her, darling. Just a bit of good-natured fun.’

‘And if she good naturedly forces herself on us?’

Bekka touched her chin for a moment as an answer soon came to her.

‘…Then, we’ll have plausible deniability because we didn’t technically initiate.’ She nodded.

‘You’ve been spending more time with your mother lately, haven’t you?’

‘That obvious?’

‘Yes.’

“E-Excuse me…”

The door to the shower opened and Izanami stepped inside.

Her entire body was bare and left in near full view of the room.

Perhaps out of habit, she covered herself with her arms while her face kept turning redder.

Abaddon immediately noticed that she had made herself a bit taller too. Bekka truly had created a most dangerous situation without even meaning to.

“See? Isn’t this fun?” She grinned.

Abaddon was going to hide all of her favorite chips and see if she still found this so amusing.

To her credit, Bekka didn’t do anything overtly sexual.

While showering, she made perfectly normal conversation with Abaddon about everything she missed while she was napping.

He decided it was best to only tell her that Valerie and Lailah had started a massive construction project that would take them a few hours to finish.

Given the present situation, Abaddon decided not to tell her about the whole Valerie leaving thing.

That would be a conversation that he was going to leave up to her to have with the rest of the women in their lives.

All the while, Izanami said nothing as she bathed in between them.

Her eyes continually stole glances at Abaddon and Bekka, who had long started covering themselves.

It took a considerable amount of willpower for Izanami to keep herself in check. Keeping one’s hands to their selves was the golden rule.

After Abaddon had practically taken a second shower, he and Bekka both felt a sudden pin-prick sensation in the back of their minds.

They immediately halted in the middle of the conversation. Surprising Izanami and giving her reason to look above their waists.

“Is everything alright..?”

Abaddon and Bekka were already scrambling to get out of the shower.

They grabbed a towel and a bathrobe to cover themselves before rushing outside.

Concerned, Izanami immediately shut the water off and followed them.

Draping her body in a towel, she stepped into the bedroom while looking for the attractive deities who’d left her high and dry.

However, the bedroom was noticeably warmer than it was just a few minutes ago. The air was also dry as if any moisture had been forcefully purged out.

Izanami found Abaddon and Bekka kneeling down near the fireplace.

They weren’t the only ones here.

One by one, the rest of the wives began popping up one after the other.

The only ones who didn’t arrive in time were Valerie and Lailah.

Now that she was outside, Izanami could more easily hear the distinctive sound of cracking.

She stood in the very corner of the room so as not to disrupt this sacred moment. Also so that no one would question why she was naked.

“He’s coming!”

Bekka stepped back as a large piece of eggshell fell to the floor.

Boiling embryonic fluid that resembled red magma poured out onto the carpet from the egg. Surprising mostly everyone there besides Erica.

A small chirping noise filled the ears of the room full of deities.

A small figure finally crawled out of the egg. A baby dragon no bigger than an adult Komodo dragon.

“Aww.. he’s so small..” Eris said sadly.

Izanami would have thought they were insane if she hadn’t lived in Tehom for so long. The child was indeed a bit underweight.

Erica held out her arms for the child to come to her.

After a taking a moment to properly get his bearings, the child waddled towards her.

Erica was a sniffling mess as she lifted the child into her arms and rocked him in her embrace.

“Hello, little man… it sure did take you a while, huh?”

Meanwhile, Abaddon was silent for reasons he could not explain.

He hugged Erica and his newborn son, but there was still something constantly nagging at him.

Deciding to address his curiosity, he took a deeper, more observational look at his son…
