Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Anniversary (2)

Cedric Remembering the details of the novel identified the people that arrived in the dinning room.

Seated around the grand dining table, the familial connections unfolded, intertwining generations in a tapestry of shared bloodlines and stories. The 6'6 middle-aged man, a towering presence with a robust frame, bore the name Eustace. He was not only the father of Andrew but also the paternal grandfather of Cedric and Alan. Eustace's eyes, filled with a mix of pride and warmth, surveyed the room, acknowledging the continuation of the Northstar lineage.

Luther, the lean figure standing at 6'0, exuded a different but equally captivating aura. As Rebecca's father, he held the role of Cedric and Alan's maternal grandfather. Luther's genial smile and approachable demeanor welcomed everyone into the circle of familial ties. His experiences, etched into the lines on his face, hinted at a life marked by wisdom and understanding.

Harley, the 6'6 middle-aged woman, graced the table with a regal presence. As Eustace's wife, she shared the legacy of the Northstar family, standing as the mother of Andrew and the grandmother of Cedric and Alan. Her eyes held a depth of experience, a silent testament to the years she spent nurturing the family that now gathered around her.

Beside Harley sat Sandra, the 5'8 woman with a lean and athletic build. As Luther's wife and Rebecca's mother, she contributed her own unique energy to the family dynamic. Sandra's playful curiosity and warm smile bridged the generations, creating an atmosphere of connection and shared heritage.

The dining room, bathed in the soft glow of morning light, became a tableau of familial bonds and the rich history of the Northstar lineage. Each member of this assembly represented a chapter in the family's story, contributing to the ongoing narrative that Cedric and Alan were now a part of. The clinking of utensils and the murmurs of conversation became a symphony of shared memories, creating a backdrop for the unfolding relationships within this close-knit family. As the aroma of breakfast filled the air, the Northstar estate resonated with the echoes of the past and the promise of a future woven into the very fabric of the Northstar legacy.

Amidst the shared warmth of the family gathering, a discussion unfolded, weaving tales of the past and the unique traits that shaped their destinies. Rebecca, hailing from the Muse family, brought with her a profound connection to the Caliope religion. This affinity was evident in the gift bestowed by the Pope during Cedric's awakening ceremony—the exquisite Heaven Silk, a testament to the intertwining threads of faith and legacy.

Luther, with the esteemed trait of a Paladin, radiated an aura of righteousness and divine purpose. The connection between the Muse family and the Caliope religion became a thread binding their familial tapestry, shaping the paths of each generation.

Eustace, the towering figure with a robust physique, carried a distinct trait befitting his formidable presence—a peak unique trait known as Berserk Swordmaster. The mutation in his trait spoke volumes about the trials and battles he must have faced, leaving an indelible mark on his physique. As the discussion unfolded, Eustace congratulated Cedric on the successful creation of his Central Star, his words carrying the weight of both familial pride and seasoned wisdom.

Around the dining table, the Northstar family exchanged stories of their adventures, the battles they faced, and the triumphs that defined their lives. Eustace, having ventured into the realms of sword mastery, recounted tales of his battles, and Luther, with his Paladin trait, shared experiences rooted in honor and duty.

The conversation seamlessly blended the supernatural with the mundane, crafting a narrative that mirrored the intricate dance of their traits and the rich history they carried. The bond between the Northstar family and the Caliope religion stood as a testament to the enduring threads that wove together fate and faith.

As the morning sun cast its gentle glow upon the gathering, the Northstar estate resonated with the harmonious symphony of shared stories, familial connections, and the promise of a future written in the stars. Cedric, surrounded by the wisdom and experiences of his grandparents, embraced the legacy that now flowed within him, his Central Star pulsating with the essence of the Northstar lineage.

The night descended upon the Northstar estate, casting a celestial tapestry across the sky. Under the veil of stars, the familial gathering continued, but as the moonlight bathed the landscape, Eustace, the patriarch with the Berserk Swordmaster trait, revealed an unexpected treasure from his storied adventures.

With an air of suspense, Eustace produced a set of teeth from his storage ring, each emanating a distinctive aura. The adults around the table, except for Harley, who seemed familiar with the item, wore expressions of surprise and curiosity. Cedric, too, felt a sense of déjà vu, as the aura bore a resemblance to that which emanated from the Dragon Heart fruit he encountered during the formation of his Central Star.

Intrigued, Andrew couldn't help but voice his speculation, "Is this really what I think it is?" Eustace, with a seasoned glint in his eyes, affirmed the suspicion. "Yes, I got lucky exploring a dungeon. Stumbled upon the corpse of a blue dragon, and these teeth were part of the loot."

As the weight of Eustace's revelation settled, his gaze turned towards Cedric. "Here," he said, handing the set of dragon teeth to his grandson, "I heard from your father that your Martial Saint trait enables you to wield a spear. You can use these dragon teeth to craft a formidable weapon—a spear befitting your lineage."

Cedric, now holding the dragon teeth, felt a surge of anticipation. The idea of forging a spear from the remnants of a blue dragon, a creature known for its rarity and strength, resonated with the essence of his Martial Saint trait. The potential of the weapon, coupled with the rich history embedded in its materials, ignited Cedric's imagination.

Around the table, the family contemplated the significance of this unexpected gift. The dragon teeth, poised to be transformed into a legendary weapon, became a symbol of both legacy and opportunity. Under the celestial canopy, the Northstar family stood at the where the echoes of ancestral adventures intertwined with the aspirations of a new generation.
