Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Chapter 2062: A Little Surprise... Brother?!

-----

"Oh well, we're very grateful nonetheless! You must already know the whole story, but Drake had an unfortunate childhood because of several things that happened to us… but even then, it still our fault," Nifl sighed.

"Without you, I doubt my son would've been able to survive properly with all his divine power sealed…" Fafnir said.

"Hey! I would've managed!" I protested.

"Thank you for your considerate words…" Andromeda smiled. "I am honestly honored to be able to speak with you two directly like this… I have yearned for such thing for many years… I'll stay by your son's side, because I love him… and well, we even had a little baby here, Kate. And well, there might be another on the way as well."

"Hmm, yes, make a lot of grandkids!" nodded Nifl happily. "That's the way of the dragon king! My son, I want a hundred grandkids! You better repopulate the whole dragon population by the end of this century!"

"Eh?!" I gasped. "I was already thinking on just having the next batch and… I don't know, wait until they grow into adults first?!"

"Hahaha! Don't listen to your mother, she's a bit excited, that's all," Fafnir laughed. "And well, we've got you a little surprise too, son."

"Oh?" I wondered. "What is it-"

Suddenly, my mother put her hand down onto the floor, and then slowly raised it, and something appeared beneath her hand, something small.

She probably moved it from the Draconic Records here using her powers, but…

Wait, it's alive?

"Graaarrr! Bwig bro!"

"Eh?"

It was a little dragon baby, of blue and black scales, with a red and a blue eye, and a little golden horn on his forehead, four little wings, and two tails.

He wasn't taller than a meter.

And did he call me…

"Big bro?!"

I looked at the little dragon boy, and then back at my parents.

"H-He's…?!"

The two nodded.

"During the year you didn't visit, a lot happened," father laughed.

"We got more active beforehand already, so I got pregnant, laid an egg and then… This is where your little brother came from! His name is Nidavellir!" mother said with a calm smile. "He's been eager to see you all this time!"

"Bwig bro! Hehehe!" Little Nidavellir flew towards my scaled arms, he was so tiny and precious.

I have a little brother…

I can't…

I'm so happy, holy shit!

"Nidavellir! So that's your name, eh? It's an amazing name for an amazing little dragon!" I laughed, raising him with my arms in the sky.

"Hehehe! I wawted to see you!" He said cutely. "Wooow! You're huge!"

"I am, yes! Hahahah!" I laughed. "I'm already on my smallest size just for you. I can turn even smaller, look."

I turned back into my Dragonoid form, surprising him.

"Wooow! How can you do dawt?!" He gasped. "Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!"

He started running around my body without end, he was full of energy and really cute.

He reminded me of me when I was younger too, haha.

"We want you to spend more time with him," my mom said. "We would like him to grow with a bigger family, and a big brother figure to look up to."

"Yeah, right.." I nodded. "And… well, you know you got another brother too, Nidavellir?"

"Really?!" He said happily. "Who! Who?"

"His name is… Sangre," I said with a sigh.

I noticed my parents looking back at me, it seemed they never told him about him.

"Sangre?"

"He's… he has gone through a lot of bad things, and he has become a really sad… a really sad person."

"Eeeh? Why?"

"Sometimes there's cruel things that happen to people, sometimes to us, that we cannot… stop," I said. "Sangre was an unfortunate victim of a very wicked man; someone I've personally taken care of. However, his traumas linger…"

"Will you find him?" He asked.

"Of course, I am going to do exactly that," I nodded. "Sangre will come back to his family, and I'll make sure to beat some sense into him until he sees things like they truly are."

"Drake…" My mother sighed, crying a few tears. "You're still willing to… for him?"

"Not just for him, mother…" I said. "For you too, and for my little brother here. I think he deserves to grow up with not just me, but his other older brother."

"Are you sure? He's gone… crazy," my dad said. "Sorry, but…"

"I know, and I understand that too," I nodded. "But I'm not the kind of person to abandon a family member, you know? I'll do everything I can before even considering giving up. I've become really strong too! So don't underestimate me, dad! Hahaha!"

"Heh, well said I guess!" he nodded. "Fine… With your level of power, perhaps it is really possible."

"Thank you Drake…" my mother said. "Now, let's not linger in the past. Shall we enjoy this feast? Honestly speaking, I am quite hungry, so I hope you've got dishes that can satisfy my great appetite."

"I'll try my best then!" I said. "I'll make the biggest plate of food just for you mom!"

And like that, this feast and celebration of many things continued for the whole night, until the next day. I spent days with my family, my friends, with my little brother, and sometimes I talked with Yuki about various things, unrelated to romance, she simply wanted to talk more.

She wanted some time to think through things, and I didn't really rush her to do anything either, but slowly, every day, she became closer to me, slowly gaining more confidence again.

I discovered she was a pretty shy girl deep down, despite her snarky personality.

And like that, two more weeks passed, and Surtr's wives, Nadia and Mina, were finally giving birth to his kids.

"What do I do?! Master, what do I do?! Please tell me what I should do?!"

"Calm down Surtr, it's going to be alright."

Naturally, the young man was very nervous…
