Chapter 1037 I Have Finally Arrived
Another year passed, and the entire Sea of Stars had been settled into their new leader. Creige had stepped down, and Devan took the throne. Mana and Nana were at his side as his aides. But the day of saying goodbyes was once more upon them. Since Devan and the twins were staying in the Sea of Stars, Kana was once more in tears as she hugged her babies.
"Mama, it's not like we will never see each other again." Devan tried to console the dragon girl that was hugging him tightly.
"You know how Mama gets she is an emotional rollercoaster when it comes to us. Just let her cry her tears out." Mana said as she gently patted her Mama's head, but this only changed Kana's hugging target to her which made her chuckle.
"I think it's unfair that Mana and Nana still get to look much older than her elder sisters…" Bi Ling pouted her lip as she looked at her two younger sisters, who were a few heads taller than her now!
"Big Sister Bi, you will also be our cute older sister!" Nana hugged Bi Ling causing Bi Ling to flail about. But she did not push her away.
"It's fine. Sister Bi likes to complain, but she is also afraid of one of us finding a life partner and not spending as much time together." Mei Ling walked over and teased. Even though they had different bodies now, they still did everything together.
"Humph! If any man tried to hit on either of us, I would question their thought process and kill them!" Bi Ling snorted. Nana laughed out loud. It was true. While she felt sorry for her older sisters, she still liked having such cute older sisters who she could hug and kiss.
"Alright, Kana we are ready to go. Everyone is on the ship." Creige appeared and pulled Kana away from Mana.
"But Creige! My Babies!" Kana was reaching out, trying to grab onto someone but Creige opened a tear and space and tossed her through. Bi Ling and Mei Ling both jumped through as well. Creige stood there and looked at his three kids. He smiled and looked at Devan. "Protect your sisters. If you need us, we are only a shout away."
"Hmmm… And Mama will always be here… Ahhh! No! My babies!" Creige grabbed Kana, who had suddenly appeared again, and tossed her back through the tear in space.
Devan laughed as he said: "Go before she comes back. And don't worry. I will protect them with my life."
"Mmm… We will come and visit when we settle down a bit." With that, Creige disappeared, but just as the tear was about to close, he stuck his hand out and snatched the figure that had just reappeared and pulled her along with him.
Standing in the throne room, Mana smiled as she said: "We are truly blessed."
"Mhm! We have a Mama who loves us to death. And a Handsome Papa who loves just as much, although he is awkward and doesn't show it well enough. Now then, we need to get busy and pick a wife for Brother." Nana said as she looked at Devan and smiled brightly.
Devan felt a cold chill run down his spine as he sighed. He knew it would eventually happen. "Alright, I will leave it to you girls, but If I don't like her, I will toss her out."
"Hehe! Don't worry. We will only pick someone who will match our handsome brother best." Mana replied.
"Speaking of which, what about you girls? Are you going to have your husbands marry in?" Devan asked. He was curious as to what they were planning.
"Mmm… Nana already has a boyfriend from the guards, but I am way too picky, I think. Maybe I will be like Aunty Ceilie and Aunty Nergal. Most men just do not fit me well." Mana replied with a long sigh.
"Whatever you choose, I will support you. You see how Big Sister Yana and Sister-in-law are doing. They are a match made in heaven, but to find each other, it took many hundreds of years." Devan was only getting a wife because he needed to produce an heir. He could only hope that his feelings for the girl would bloom over time.
"Don't worry. As we said, We will make sure you will not be disappointed in our pick." In truth, they knew their big brother had a girl he was talking to down in the city below for a long time. They even spent a few days together on dates. He will not admit it, but he liked her a lot. But something about their status got to the girl, but now, with their chance to make things right, they would sweep her off her feet and bring her into the palace!

On the ship, Kana was pinching Creige's waist. "So mean!"
"If I did not drag you out of there, we wouldn't leave for another thousand years!" Creige replied with a sigh. "We already decided we would keep moving forward. And it's not like we can't visit them anymore."
"That's true, but still!" Kana pouted her lower lip before biting Creige's shoulder. "Let's go. Tell Eie to tear a hole in the dimensional wall. We need to go take a look at this, Aurora."
Not long later, Kana's ship passed through the dimensional wall and appeared over vast continents that floated in the sky. Majestic waterfalls flowed off the sides of these land masses that were filled with lush greenery, and off in the distance was a large golden gate. Kana could tell without needing to ask that this was the gate to Eden. The trip had been long, but they had finally arrived. Kana walked out onto the deck and took in the thick energy-filled air that was filled with many types of energies, some she had never even known about. "Oh? So can I create more cores?"
"I don't see why not." A familiar voice came from her side. Kana smiled and leaned her head on the old man's shoulder.
"Grandpa, I have finally arrived."
