Back in the infirmary, the dragon lady was snoring without a care in the world. She hadn't have such a good sleep ever since she had given birth. Her past years were filled with constant worries, emotional upheavals and paranoia.
But tonight, she felt as if a heavy stone was removed from her heart and her mind felt as tranquil as the sacred lake. And thus she was fully relaxed in her sleep, snoring and catching up on her much needed rest.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the night shift doctor and nurse. If the snores of a wild boar is considered loud, the decibel of a dragon snoring away is a thousand times more intense. The snoring was so deafening that both the doctor and nurse felt the need to shout in their attempt to "cure" the dragon lady's intense snoring. The baby, on the other hand, was perfectly protected by a mysterious sound proof barrier which was unconsciously casted by his mum, sleeping soundly like baby should.
Meanwhile, an anxious male dragon was hovering above the store. He managed to uncover the truth behind the dragon egg abduction from the husband and wife and flew as fast as he could back to his wife.
Although he is a dragon, he is still a law abiding citizen of the songfire nation. Not to mention, raising a child and providing it with world class eduction fees are becoming exorbitantly expensive in the country, so barging into the shop or ripping the roof off or damaging the shop to "save" the wife and child is out of the question.
During their financial planning session, his wife and him realised it will literally cost them a dragon arm and dragon leg to raise their baby dragon to a working adult after multiple calculations. After all, dragons take about 20 years to reach toddlerhood and another 50 years to reach puberty and another 50 years to become an adult capable of signing a document without parental consent. To raise their child for a minimum of 120 years, they can't even bear to imagine how much wealth and treasures are needed.
So, the father dragon was determined to scrimp and save! Unfortunately, his wife is a spendthrift. They were lucky that they do not have to pay any damages for her recent erratic behaviour. Every small thing would trigger her, and caused her to go into a violent rage. Sometimes, perplexing him. She "Maybe she had been watching to much drama or read too much martial arts novels." He constantly reasoned.
The dragon give a deep sigh and perched on the roof of the building across the shop, seemingly in deep thoughts. He missed the wife he had married deeply. It had been 300 years since he had seen her smile. The dragon with heavy thoughts sighed again.
"I hope you and our baby will be okay."
From the couple, he knew they will be fine. But he was feeling uneasy leaving his wife alone with the weak and vulnerable.
"Sigh..."
