The royal family soon took me to a new room that Drogan didn’t
show me yet, it was very fancy and had a large seating area in the middle of it
while on the back walls stood a few well dressed humans with platters that
where covered. I looked at them quizzically as drogan took me to where he sits.

“ this is the dinning area this table sits a lot of people dad
uses it for his meetings with his vassals but we are using it to welcome you to
our home we hope you stay for a long time,” he smiled wide as he pulled out a
seat for me to sit in.

I felt a lot better as he talked on it was fun to listen to him,
to learn about their home, their kingdom and their people. Once again I was
given a plate of very delicious looking food, this time it was a fish dish, with
asparagus and potatoes.

“ the seamstress will be here tomorrow before breakfast ill have
a maid bring you to my room, besides that is there anything else you need ?”
Queen Starla asked as she watched me carefully. This time I didn’t eat any of
the silverware but still ate the food with my hands I was too embarrassed to
even try and use them.

“ ooh can she join in my studies or go to the academy with me ?
I’ll be accepted in two years anyways she’s practically a noble, though maybe
she should take lessons I don’t want anyone to make fun of her!” Drogan chirped
as he wiped at the remnants of food by my lips with a cloth, as the king and
queen nodded while looking at me.

“ true, since she will be staying with us for some time we
should make sure everything is to her liking, do you mind if we give you a
debutante, everyone in the entire kingdom will then know who you are, we can
have you both share the same day in two years time” King Atlas nodded softly as
he looked at me smiling wide

I nodded my head I didn’t mind everyone knowing who I was as
long as I was able to work on my other planets and systems staying here and
joining in on their custom was a joy.

“ You get your debut one the same day I’m given my title of
crown prince, that means we have to teach you how to dance!” Drogan stared at
me with a wild grin, he was truly a child filled with the brightest joy

“ I hope you all do not mind if my children also get to witness
such day ?” I asked as they all nodded vigorously

“ we’d love nothing more then have every able body to witness your
debut.” Both queen and king said

“ oh we can even have your fireworks too !” Drogan chimed as his
eyes sparkled

“ Fireworks?” the king looked confused

“ Yeah bone did this cool light show with her fire it sparked
with different colors and shapes, it was so pretty I wonder if the alchemist
could replicate it” he pondered

“ that does sound pretty I can’t wait to see it” the queen
smiled as the servants took the plates and returned with glasses filled with a
sweet smelling substance

I blinked as I sniffed it curiously, the sweetness was
unfamiliar, it didn’t resemble fruit at all and it’s dark color was a mystery
to me.

“ it’s called chocolate pudding “ Drogan smiled as he handed me
my spoon

I nervously took it from him. I then watched as they all pushed
their spoons into the pudding and tried to copy their movements. It was
slightly difficult to tone down the heat of my mouth but I soon got it to a
safe temperature that the silver didn’t melt right away when in contact. Then I
popped the spoonful of pudding into my mouth.

The sweetness that enveloped my tongue was something beyond what
I even knew of what was put on my planet.

“ This is delicious!” I yelped startling the staff.

“ Who brought this chocolate, is it called, who brought this on
the planet I must know what god did this and thank them!!” I squealed as I
gobbled down the rest of the pudding as the royal family smiled and laughed.

“ I’ll make sure the chef knows that you love his hand made
chocolate pudding it’s his prized work.” King Atlas laughed heartily.

Dinner and dessert was truly an experience that I will keep
forever in my memories, spending time with those who saw me as apart of their
family. It was to be cherish deeply.

Following a maid I was guided to the far side of the queens
palace to one of the smaller palaces, the maid opened the doors and what was
before me as a grandiose room, walking into the room one was met with the
parlor that had a door behind it, the new door opened to a grand hallway that
led to a bedroom and another that led to the bathing room. It was far to much I
was astonished truly that they would even go this far to make me as comfortable
as possible.

“ there’s a rope here my lady, you pull this and we maids will
come and get you ready for the day, as well if you want snack, or want to go
out for a walk in the garden. “ she smiled sweetly as she showed me the rope by
the bed made up of some soft purple fabric.

I thanked her as she soon left closing the doors behind her. I
took off the cloak once more letting it fall to the ground before exploring my
room. There was a table with some kind of looking glass I could see myself in
much more clearly then the river. It took the time to really look at my new
body, seeing what dragon parts would appear and what would vanish, suddenly I
heard a knock i froze as the door opened before I could get my cloak back on.

“ Bone dear I forgot to get this back for you it’s the potion…
oh I’m so sorry sweetheart I didn’t know if you where asleep already!” Queen
Starla giggled softly as she set the bottle by the bedside

“ ill let the staff know if you want so they won’t be taken by
surprise “ she smiled kindly as she neared me, I put my head to her neck and
shoulder area softly nuzzling into her, she truly reminded me of mother god, it
made me miss her very much.

“ mother…” I whimpered softly as Starla gently rubbed my head
holding me lovingly

“ you know I had a daughter once. She was our first born… she’d
probably be around the age that your body is showing but we have to many
enemies in the neighboring kingdoms, they sent an assassin in the form of one
of the maids we had hired, I had just given birth to Drogan at the time, my
little Delilah… you remind me of her so much, so full of life and love.. when I
see you and Drogan together I can’t help but envision her in you, how she would
have been how she’d act, what she’d look like all grown up.” She told me her
story as she held me and still petted my head getting soft purrs from me

It made all the sense to me now, why she was so concerned when
Drogan went missing, with the silver, and all the motherly tones I got from
her, I didn’t mind it at all really she was like Mother god in so many ways it
made me wonder if Mother god made her just for me so I wouldn’t miss her that
much.

“we haven’t had any more incidents after her death, no attempts
at any of our lives, their true target was Drogan but like some sick ploy they
where content with taking our eight year old daughter from this world. She had
so much to live for my goddess it truly isn’t fair, what did we do for my baby
to be taken from me?” She sobbed as she held me tightly as her body convulsed
as she cried her feeling, it seemed like she had noone to talk to about these
feeling and it just piled on year after year.

“ My sister Death has taught me one thing and that is that even at
the end of a souls life death is only the beginning of something so beautiful,
the memories that they leave behind, and how they are never forgotten.” I said
as I held her carefully

“ Her realm is the city of the dead and everything that has been
created is there, Delilah is in a beautiful place now, free of pain, while her precious
memories stay with her family.

We stayed holding each other for awhile as she calmed down and
expressed her gratitude and propose that she’d love to adopt me into the royal
family, to be the daughter she lost all those years ago. Of course I agreed as she
filled the void of my missing Mother god, we both had someone to fill in that
empty void.
