Episode 15: Father and Son bond
New York: Near Lao Shi electronic shop: 2h21
The DD looks at his son who was punish by Ryu when he tries to find the true about him and fail. He's sad about it, but he knows he was trying.
The DD was watching his necklace and look at the picture of him, his wife and when Abel was still in his egg. He remembers those day...He wishes to be with his son more than never. A memory awake in him...It wasn't a memory where he was at his best, but it was still a wonderful memory that the DD cherish so much in his heart.
14 and half years ago, in a mountain somewhere, someplace 9h14
The DD was watching the egg surrounded with cloths to keep it warm. But it was a cold day...especially in the mountain and it might not be enough.
"Honey." Says a female voice.
"Yes my love?" Asks the DD.
"I must go to Dragon Island now because they might get suspicious." Says the female voice. She then enters into the room and kisses the egg. "All you have to do is watch the egg and keep it warm. I'm sure you can do that." She says.
"You have to return there again." Complain gently the DD. He looks at her. She's a beautiful golden dragon measuring 4 metres long. She has a long tail that move gracefully by each of her steps. She has paler golden scales at her belly sections. She doesn't have hair like the DD and some of the dragons. She wasn't a muscular dragon, but the DD know she was very strong. He knows this by his...personal experience with her. And then, her blue eyes, those eyes that melt the cold heart of him each time he looks at those eyes. He can't resist to those eyes.
"I'm sorry, but I must. They believe I'm still chasing you around the world and I must return to the Island time to time." She says with a sad smile.
"If the council knew what we were doing...They'll be mad." Says the DD.
"Of course they'll be mad. They think you are dangerous and might destroy the balance of the world. Of course, I know it's not the case...Do you still think about what I say?" She then asks.
"It's...a thought decision to make...I'm not sure if I can do this." Says the DD hesitantly.
"I know you can do it." She then encourages him with a smile.
"I...don't think I have the strength to give the humans a second chance after what they did to my parents...Do they deserve forgiveness...I...don't know." Says the DD with those memories of his parents dead crushing his soul.
"But you're father-" Was about to say his wife.
"I'm not like my father who can forgive anyone who makes him suffer Angelina. I'm not strong like him." Says the DD with sadness.
"I'm sorry." Apologies Angelina.
"It's alright...I'll keep thinking about it." Says the DD.
"As long as you don't immediately toss the idea away...I'm fine with that." She says with a smile. "I have to go. Take care of our egg." She then flies away.
"Yes and...Wait...HOW CAN I DO THAT?" He shouts, but she was already too far away to hear him. He then looks at the egg. "Great...now what can I do?"
The DD move closer to the egg and touch it gently with his hand. He can feel the egg was hot so he doesn't need to do anything for now...but just in case, he makes sure the egg was perfectly covered with cloths. His stomach began to grunt.
"Guess I'm hungry. Don't move I'll...I'll just be back soon." Says the DD to the egg. He then grunt about the stupid thing he was about to say.
He then flew away for some minutes and return after eating some animals living in the mountains. The DD move closer to the egg and began talking to it. The DD knew that the baby dragon in the egg can hear and supposedly understand what a being says to the egg. How does it work, no one dare try to find out.
"I wonder what you will look like when you'll hatches. Will you look like me or more like you're mother? I can't help but wondering what you'll be...You're my first child after all and I really don't know what to do...Will I be a good father or not? But don't worry, I'll do everything to be a good father and you will have a great mother too. I love you." Says the DD. He then touches the egg again and feels it colder. "Not good...What do I do?" Began to panic the DD.
He tries to search for something warmer or that can warm the egg but he fail to find anything.
"Maybe I can breathe fire...No that's just stupid, my flame is way too strong." Says the DD. "What to do? What to do?"
Then, a solution finally appears in his mind. He moves closer to the egg and took it gently in his big and strong arms. He then sits down far away from the exit of the cave and look at his egg. He then lies down and gently put the egg on his tummy. He then relaxes his muscles of his tummy and slowly and without strength he pushes his egg deeper in his belly. His soft scales slowly envelop the egg until he decides to stop pushing the egg. The DD can feel his stomach being flattened by the egg, but it didn't hurt him. His body begin to warm the egg and the danger was over.
"You sure give me lots of reason to worry about you and you haven't even hatch. Anyway...I really like this physical contact between you and me." He then begins to pat the egg gently. "I never thought in the past that I'll be a father you know. I always thought I'll never be a father...But you're here and I'll treasure you for the rest of my life." He then kisses his egg and also smells the egg. "You taste and smell...pepper? ATCHOUM!"
He then realise that during his panic he drop pepper on the egg.
"ATCHOUN! Trouble maker. ATCHOUM!" Then the DD continue this way for a while.
"Hahaha. Look at me. The great, powerful and fearless DD being ridicules by a dragon egg." Then the DD laugh strongly for a while. "My child...My child...Still can't believe I say that. Remember this, I'll always love you."
The DD stay there for the whole day and when the night comes.
"She really is taking her time right?" Asks the DD to the egg. Then he yawns strongly. "Guess it's time to sleep. Good night my child." The DD slowly close is eyes and falling asleep, with the egg on his tummy, comfortable and warm.
After a while, Angelina returns home and saw her husband and her child together.
"I always knew you weren't evil." She then moves next to her husband and sleep by his side, her head on his big neck.
The next day: 9h15
The DD awake a saw that his wife was there. He stays still for a while until she finally wakes up.
"Good morning sweet heart." Says the DD giving her a kiss.
"Good morning honey...I see you've done perfectly fine." She says about the egg.
"Of course." Says the DD.
She then kisses the egg that was still on the DD tummy and she began sneezing.
"ATCHOUM! Why pepper's on- ATCHOUM! The egg?" Asks Angelina.
"Hum...I don't know." Says the DD turning his head away from Angelina eyes.
After a while, she stops sneezing.
"What happen?" She asks.
"Well..." After a moment of hesitation, the DD tell the true. Angelina then laughs and laughs at him gently.
"Hahahaha...It's so funny. I wonder what makes you think pepper will warn our egg." She says.
"I panic! *sigh* you're going to tell our child this story and I'll hear this for a lllllllllllooooooooonnnnnnnn ggggggg time." Says the DD.
"Of course." She says with a smile.
The DD close his eyes. At least he has time before his child laugh at him when she's...or he'll tell this story.
"So...how was the council meeting?" Asks the DD.
"For now...So far so good. They still believe I'm pursuing you and bring you to justice..." She then stays silence.
"What is it?" Asks the DD.
"Odin begins to have some suspicion about me. He didn't say anything, but I feel he may know something. It's very normal...It's hard to hide anything from him for a long time. He's very observant and he might one day follow me here so I'll have to be cautious." She says.
"Do not worry. I'll protect you and he won't find anything." Comfort the DD.
"I know...So...How long are you keeping the egg on you? You still need to walk and fly you know." She says.
The DD looks at the egg and he notice he was gently patting it during all the talk with his wife.
"*Sigh* All right. Here, take care of him while I fly a little." Says the DD. He gives the egg to his wife and get out and fly for a while.
After he flies for a moment he decide to return in the cave, he looks at his wife and he saw that she was singing a song to the egg. The DD listens until she finishes singing her song.
"It's a good song Angelina...You also have a beautiful voice to sing it." Comment the DD.
"I know...It's a lullaby my mother sing to me and I've decide to sing it to him too." She says.
"Him?" Asks the DD.
"I have a feeling it will be a boy." She says.
"We'll only know it when he'll be born." Says the DD.
"It will still take one month before he hatches." Says Angelina with a smile.
"I know. So many questions about what he'll look like?" He says.
"You're very excited about our son." She says.
"Yes. I'm ready for him." He then smiles.
"I know, he'll be wonderful like you." She says. "He'll love you like me."
"For real?" He asks.
"For real...My love." She then kisses him. "I also bring something else." She then took out a camera.
"A camera?" He asks.
"Yes...To remember all of the wonderful moment with our son." She says.
"Or our daughter." Remind the DD.
"Yeah. Let's take a picture now." She says.
"You won't be in it." Countered the DD.
"No problem. I'll program it to automatically take a picture." She reassures him.
"Alright, let's do this." He says.
She programs the camera and took the picture.
"It's a beautiful one." Comment Angelina.
"I agree. It's the first beautiful one." Says the DD.
Present day: New York: Near Lao Shi electronic shop: 7h23
He looks at the picture again. It's the same one and the first one they takes on his necklace. The DD looks around and saw that the sun will soon shine.
"Looks like I was in a deep memory. *Sigh* It was wonderful at that time. You miss me so much Angelina...You were right about everything. He was a boy so...I know he'll love me back."
"Now that I think about it...I never ask who your father was, but I think I already know who it was." He then smiles. "Your gold scales give me the tip and it's kind of obvious."
Snow begins to fall on him.
"Winter time finally beginning to come." Says the DD. "I can feel a snow storm soon."
He then flies away in the sky.
