Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 2177: Morning Breakfast With Amethyst

-----

"Oh? Well, look who’s finally out of her cave."

Drake greeted a cute blonde girl with brown skin that walked into the living room, looking half-sleepy, it was Amethyst, who had just woken up.

She always had a heavy sleep, and her sleeping schedule was a little fucked, so she usually woke up very late... well, it was normal for dragons to slumber a lot.

"Good morning... Um, can I join for breakfast?" she asked timidly.

"But of course you can dear, come in! You don’t even need to ask," Benladann giggled, serving Amethyst a good serving of breakfast, eggs, bacon, toasts, pancakes, doughnuts, an omelet, and even some grilled divine monster meat for her carnivorous cravings.

"Nice... Thank you! I was really hungry..." Amethyst said happily, sitting down and beginning to eat. "Hmm...! It’s all so good! Nom, nom...! I had never tasted food this good before in my life, you’ve really helped me expand my palate... Like these round things with holes in them, they’re so sweet but oily... and good! And then there’s these pancakes... Hmm, and back then I didn’t really like fruit that much, but these are good too..."

"Haha, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the food, Amethyst," Drake said. "You can enjoy something like this every day. You’ll no longer live alone in the desert... well, not with just Jord."

"Thanks..." Amethyst smiled lightly. "Can’t wait for lunch!"

After everyone finished eating breakfast and were ready to start the day, Amethyst felt a little confused about what to do now.

"So what now... I’ve been living my entire life trying to beat Umbral, and now that he’s gone it feels kind of weird..." Amethyst sighed. "I guess this is when you tell me that revenge is pointless and bad?"

Amethyst and Drake were at the top of the castle, talking while meditating and letting their energies flow, practically passively cultivating their divine power.

"Huh? Why would I say that?" Drake wondered. "Revenge is good if its well justified, sometimes it can help the world too, imagine if Umbral stayed moving around, he would only make things worse."

"You’re right..." Amethyst nodded. "Hm..."

"Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll find what to do," Drake said. "You’ve got your whole life ahead... I don’t even want to force you to help me or something, it’s all up to you."

"Hm, is that so?" Amethyst wondered. "Well, I’ve decided I’ll help you anyway... Tell me what you’re planning on doing and everything else, I’ll help."

"Really? Well... if you insist," Drake nodded.

Like that, he spent a good hour explaining Drake’s journey to her, his many foes and more, and his current goal of finding and stopping his brother, Sangre, and also defeating Oberon, who is threatening the world.

There were also several other "side quests" he was doing on the way there, such as gathering the Orbs and reviving the Primordial Gods, finding new Divine Dragons to help grow to protect this world better, get rid of Oberon’s Soul Fragments, catch any fragment of Pandemonium and Chaos he could find, stop the awakening of the Chaos Dragon Fragments, fix the problems of Yggdrasil merging with Zipangu and Earth, defeat and stop Oda Nobunaga’s invasion and his powerful generals, gather the Tears to help Yuki, and finding other divine dragons to get their blood and grow stronger as a Dragon King.𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Woah, isn’t that too much?!" Amethyst asked. "Do you ever like, take a break?"

"Don’t worry, these things follow me everywhere, so I solve them as I move," Drake said. "That’s my life for now... I hope that things will stabilize... but I also have to prepare for the threats ahead. Sangre, Oberon, and Oda Nobunaga, and that’s without including the Venerables that may revive at any moment."

"Ugh, I really need to help you then!" Amethyst said. "You need as much help as you possibly can get after all, Drake."

"Hahaha, maybe I do," Drake giggled. "But please don’t feel forced."

"I’m not being forced, I’m helping because I want!" Amethyst said angrily, hugging Drake’s arm out of nowhere, and blushing a little. "A-And... Um... well, I care about you now, okay?"

"Amethyst... Haha, you’re so adorable," Drake laughed, patting her head. "Like the little nephew I never had."

"N-Nephew?!" Amethyst got angry. "Ugh, I’m not your nephew, old man... Tch! Well, whatever..." she got embarrassed out of nowhere.

"Haha, whatever the case, if you’re really helping then that’s wonderful," Drake said. "But for now, why don’t you relax? If you don’t want to sleep or roam around this big Divine Realm, you could go to the village to talk with the people or dedicate yourself to some hobby."

"Hobby?" Amethyst asked.

"Like Farming, we got Alchemy too, Forging, Crafting, all things that’ll help you get better at something that can even help you get stronger equipment and other things," Drake explained. "With the power of the system you’ll gain a Class related to them too, which you can improve and gain Skills."

"Hmm..." Amethyst rubbed her chin. "I really like those sweet fruits and juicy veggies you give me..."

"You want to learn how to farm then? I mean, you’re an Earth Dragon too, so it should be natural," Drake said.

"I do..." Amethyst nodded. "Maybe I’ll do that today."

"Alright, let me help you out with that," Drake said. "Let’s go."

Drake decided to spend some time with Amethyst, and then Yuki and the rest of his family arrived to watch and help too.

Amethyst spent a nice evening learning many new things, failing to sow the soil several times, before finally getting the gist of it, realizing something as "simple" as farming wasn’t simple at all.

At one point, she learned how to do it to an extent, and he left her having fun with Benladra and his kids, while he went on his own for the moment.

Not without one of her gifts though, after she heard he needed blood, she ended up filling a little bottle with her own blood, which she extracted from a wound she made in her hand, which had already regenerated by now.

"Amethyst’s blood... I suppose this should count as both Earth and Light Dragon, right?"

Drake sat over an empty grasslands, away from everything else, as he drank the blood from the bottle without hesitating, it had a sweet taste, but he decided not to think too much about it for obvious reasons.

Immediately, he felt a surge of new power, as something deep within his Bloodline awakened...
