Chapter 4191: Second Chance (Part 2)

Then, Lith turned into his Abomination form, and Raldarak followed suit. His skin turned a shiny black akin to polished obsidian, and his eyes white. Two sets of membranous wings formed on his back, and he wrapped them around himself like a blanket.

Blue flames burst from his head and wreathed his body, but they carried no heat. Quite the contrary, they were cold to the touch.

’Whatever this fire is, it doesn’t behave like Scourge Flames.’ Lith examined the fire shrouding his son with his mystical eyes. ’There is no malice in Ral’s flames. No pain.

’These blue flames seem to be made of pure death force and world energy. Ral is burning no soul to fuel them.’

Before Kamila could get worried, Lith shapeshifted into his Indech form.

Raldarak’s skin turned copper-red, and a set of stumpy, featherless wings popped on his back. No new eyes opened, but since the same happened with Elysia, Lith didn’t worry about it.

"Our little man really is perfect." Lith nodded. "You did a magnificent job, Kami. Now, for the closing act..."

Lith shapeshifted into his Tiamat form, quickly imitated by Raldarak. The baby boy’s body was now covered in pitch-black scales. Small horns protruded from his forehead, and a short tail from the small of his back.

Once Raldarak opened his eyes and there were still only two of them, Lith sighed in relief.

"No surprises this time." Yet when he raised his head to look at his wife, he noticed that everyone else had their eyes wide and their mouth agape.

"What are you staring at?" Only when Lith turned Raldarak around did he notice there were three sets of wings on his back.

The uppermost was membranous, but not upside-down like Lith’s. The lowermost wings were featherless stumps of pink flesh identical to those Ral had displayed as an Indech and a Voidfeather Dragon.

The middle set, however, was a pair of pristine white membranous wings made of pure energy.

"Farm me sideways!" Lith blurted out, saved only by the Guardians’ always watchful presence. "Discovering my Indech form and Kami tapping into Raldarak’s must have prevented his human life force from atrophying.

"This little imp has no problem keeping his Indech wings on. My only question is, why are there no black energy feathers covering his wings? Does he suffer from some form of elemental imbalance?"

"Silly Featherling." Salaark chuckled. "I would be offended by your allegation that I’ve let something bad befall our Ral, if I didn’t know that any parent in your shoes would be as worried as you.

"Kami, Lith, you have nothing to worry about. Ral misses his energy feathers for the same reason he misses all his other feathers. He’s a newborn, and his body needs time to grow and develop.

"Right now, his energy wings are barely a light show and don’t need containment. Forming the feathers so early would just drain the little strength he has. Give him time."

"Thanks, Grandma." Lith and Kamila said in unison, sighing in relief. "Who’s next?"

"Me! Me! Me!" Solus jumped while waving her arms as if Lith was far away instead of just a few meters.

"One healthy baby, coming right up." Lith shapeshifted back into his human form and pulled the baby boy away from his body, only for Raldarak to grab at his clothes. "Don’t worry, Ral, I’m not going anyw-"

It was then that Lith noticed that his son had Carl’s eyes. The color didn’t match, and neither did its shape, since the baby boy didn’t share a single drop of blood with Lith’s Earth brother.

Yet Raldarak looked at Lith with the same eyes as Carl did in Derek’s earliest memories. He was hopeful, scared, and desperately looking for protection.

’I won’t let you down again.’ Something in Lith’s gut tightened as the baby boy’s expression relaxed. ’Now, I have the power and the means to protect you. I swear that this time, I won’t let anyone harm you. You will not spend your life in fear!’
