Archer watched the nurse hand Mary a bundle of blankets, prompting him to walk towards the Primordial woman, who was too busy examining their little girl. When he got close, she turned the baby toward him. He stopped short when he saw a tuff of grey hair just like her mother's.
A big pair of violet eyes looked up at him as a gummy smile appeared on the little one's face, making the older woman beam. ''Look at her Arch! She's always such a happy baby, you do get some amazing children.''
''Yes, I do,'' he muttered, gaze glued to the newest addition to his family. ''What did you want to name her?''
''Artemis,'' Mary answered. ''It was my aunt's name; she was my best friend when I was growing up.''
Archer agreed with a nod. ''A beautiful name, I love it.''
Following that, the older woman handed Artemis over who was already staring at him with a look of wonder on her face. He started fussing over the little girl until another cry ripped through the air but this time he knew something was different. His gaze found the tuff of white hair and a stubby little lions tail.
''It's another prince!'' the nurse annouced.
When Nala heard this her face lit up, her blue eyes sparkled with delight as she exhaustly leaned up and spoke. ''Give me my little boy, I want to see him.''
As this happened, Archer was watching and Mary's soft voice reached his ear. ''Go and check on them, my love. They need attention too, just let me rest for a few minutes.''
''Alright,'' he replied.
With Artemis in his arms he approached the happy lioness who was fussing and speaking in a high pitched voice to their new son. Nala's gaze lifted only for her to exclaim. ''Arch! Meet Aslan Wyldheart, the second prince of our growing empire.''
''Aslan? Are you sure?'' he asked, bouncing Artemis until she fell asleep.
Nala looked confused as she revealed. ''It's the name of the first Lion Demi-Human who founded the Goldenmane Empire.''
His eyes went wide at her words and quickly agreed. ''That sounds good to me Nala, but it looks like you need some sleep.''
Following that, Archer handed Artemis back, saying his goodbyes to the women as they needed some sleep. Mary was half asleep while Nala was letting out yawns, both women hugged the babies close before feeding them. Alexa was mesmerized by the entire thing but she quickly left with him.
The two teleported to the Domain where Embera was waiting for them, alongside Malakia and Colestah. He was surprised when seeing the Water Elf whi greeted him. ''Hello Arch, it's good to see you after so long.''
''I heard my grand daughter was giving birth,'' the older lioness questioned, an excited expression on her pretty face. ''I hope they're okay?''
''Nala's sleeping alongside little Aslan,'' he answered. ''They are fine and the birth was trouble free.''
Malakia was about to reply but his mind was sucked somewhere else, he reappeared on a famaliar balcony that his grown used too. Archer turned to Tiamat, sitting at the table, beaming at him. ''Hello handsome, I wanted to see you and delivier some good news,'' she greeted.
''What good news?'' he said sitting down.
The older woman slid over a cup of tea as she continued. ''Your little Oathkeepers, I can turn them into Dragon Warriors, powerful knights that will protect you from what's coming.''
This caught Archer's attention. ''What do you mean? What's coming now?''
''The Dark Gods have banded together after you killed the Terravian diety,'' she revealed, a smirk crossing her lips. ''
''Makes sense,'' he muttered. ''I don't care for them anyway, I'm growing stronger everyday, it's the reason you created a God Killer, for this exact situation.''
Tiamat's violet eyes lit up with amusement. ''So you figured it out? Are you angry with me?''
His gaze met hers, a smirk tugging at his lips before he vanished and reappeared behind Tiamat. Leaning close, he brushed his lips against the curve of her neck, sending a shiver down her spine. ''Why would I be upset, Tia?'' he murmured, his voice low. ''You're my future wife, aren't you?'
The older woman's breath hitched, her eyes fluttering as the thought of being entwined with him sparked a rush of exhilaration through her. His touch deepened her reaction, his fingers grazing just above her collarbone, igniting a surge of desire that pulsed through the Dragon Goddess like a current.
Archer's smirk widened, his eyes glinting with mischief as he lingered behind, his breath warm against her ear. His fingers traced patterns along her shoulder, each touch deliberate, teasing the edge of her senses. The Dragon Goddess's body tensed, a soft gasp escaping her lips as he leaned closer.
''Oh, Tia, you're too easy to unravel,'' he teased, his tone dripping with playful confidence. ''What happens if I push just a little further?''
Tiamat's cheeks flushed, heart racing as his words wove through her thoughts, stoking the fire within. She tried to muster a retort, but her voice caught as Archer's hand slid gently to her chin, guiding her face toward his. His gaze locked onto hers, before he closed the distance, giving her a passionate kiss.
It was fierce, a surge of heat that left her breathless, her body melting into his touch. As they parted, Tiamat's eyes shimmered with a mix of desire and surrender. Her voice came as a soft whisper. ''Yes, I'm yours already. You know this.''
Archer's smile grew wide as he kissed her on the cheek, replying. ''Soon, I'll have you Tia and soon you'll know the full extent of my love.''
The Dragon Goddess trembled once again as he sat down and started drinking his tea before asking. ''So what will these Dragon Warriors do for me?''
''Offer you an extra defence against the incoming monsters and other humanoid beings that will try attack you,'' she revealed.
Archer grew curious and questioned. ''So I can turn the Oathkeepers into them? Why not other soldiers?''
''Too weak and their bodies can't cope with the transformation,'' Tiamat answered. ''But enough of this, it was lovely seeing you. Now go try out your new skill, I want you to test it on the first batch of knights.''
He was just about to reply but the Dragin Goddess sent him back to the real world where he came to in the treehouse. Embera, Alexa and Malakia was standing in front of him with worried expressions on their faces. The navy-haired woman's voice reached his ears first. ''Arch! What happened? You spaced out all of a sudden?''
''Sorry ladies,'' Archer said, smiling. ''I was speaking to Tiamat about something, can you three wait here?''
They agreed causing him to teleport to the clearing outside the treehouse where he'd have some privacy. After materializing there he summoned all the free Oathkeepers that weren't protecting the harem. Ten minutes later, he was pacing in front of five hundred Oathkeepers, all of his strongest knights were here when his voice echoed across the courtyard.
''My knights! I have been given the power to create Dragon Warriors thanks to Tiamat, this role will take everything from you, more then the operation that turned you into the strongest fighting force and turn you into my protectors who will protect me from this day forward when I go up against the gods!''
None moved apart from Thalion who stepped forward, kneeling in front of him as his response was full of loyalty. ''Turn me into one, my emperor. Show the rest how powerful I get!''
''Very well,'' he replied, waving his hand and sending his Draconic Mana into the man, transforming him.
Thalion let out a roar as his armor turned into something that resembled white Dragons scales with glowing violet eyes, proving better then the previous set of protection. The man slimmed and stood at ten feet tell, built like a tank and weilding a massive greatsword ready to fight.
Archer chuckled and summoned a Terravian Pseudo God he captured in the realm when trapped. When Thalion saw this, he stepped in front of him as he commanded. ''Kill that thing, commander. Show me what you've become.''
When the white-armored knight heard this, he need and slowly approached the enemy who was confused but when seeing the big guy it charged forward, lunging to slash at Thalion, the Dragon Warrior vanished, only to reappear behind the creature, letting loose several slashed.
The blade cut into the Terravian before the knight sliced through the back of it's legs, bringing it to its knees with a thud as a gravelly voice echoed out. ''Kneel for my lord, insect!''
Archer watched as the creature hissed but Thalion's sword fell, slicing through the Pseudo-God's neck, sending it's head flying. When the other Oathkeepers saw this, they all agreed to go through the transformation as one knight questioned. ''Can we still see our family's?''
''Of course,'' he answered. ''I'll just summon you whenever I need you to kill something, I'm getting bored with it now.''
The soldiers were shocked but Archer waved them away before sending a stream of mana into their bodies.
