Mana and Raven were woken up the next morning by an exuberant Azar, who had uncharacteristically woken up before either of them and was currently jumping on Mana's stomach.
Mana sat up sleepily and grabbed the dragon, hugging him like a teddy bear.
"Mommy! Mommy!" Azar chanted happily, nuzzling her face.
Raven rubbed his bleary eyes and it took him a moment to realise where he was. He had a very peaceful sleep with Mana and Azar next to him. He suddenly had the desire to grow up quickly and get married so that he could sleep like this every night. While his sleep quality had definitely improved since he had come to the Emerald Kingdom, he couldn't remember the last time he'd slept so well.
"Mana? Azar? What happened?" he asked.
Mana shrugged, looking half-asleep and hugging Azar tighter.
"Mommy! Daddy! Go to island!" Azar demanded.
Mana blinked. "Again?" she asked. "Did your elf buddy send you another gift?"
Azar giggled happily. "Elf buddy sent gift for Mommy!" he declared.
