The rise of the pervert primordial

So Ixas did as he was asked and soon everyone was back inside the portable house, there was a difference this time though, after being exposed to all the sand and dust of the desert, everyone needed a bath.

"What do you say little Kana, don't you want to have a nice warm bath with sister Natasha?", asked Natasha with a playful voice, getting an accusatory gaze from Charlotte.

Both of them have learned how much Aster worries about Kana, but to be fair, the little girl was likeable by herself, so while originally, she just wanted to win Kana over, she now genuinely was friendlier with her, the same applied to Charlotte, the difference was that she wasn't as free spirited as Natasha, so it was harder for her to share a bath with others.

"Everything is fair in love and war", mumbled Natasha as she stuck out her tongue at Charlotte, which made the latter grit her teeth before saying.

"Don't worry little Kana, your sister Charlotte will join so that a certain perverted fire bird can't corrupt you".

"Oi, you piece of ice…", as usual, Natasha and Charlotte started arguing, Mylene and Camila softly laughed and decided to join in for the bath as it was a new experience for them too, and they were all girls so it didn't seem bad or ashaming for them.

Kana on the other hand turned to see Aster with a slightly troubled expression, she was happy to bath with the other girls, specially because Mylene who she treated like an older sister was joining too, but she also liked to bath with Aster and if she went with them, her big brother will be left alone.

Aster chuckled, he patted Kana's head and then said.

"Go, you always bath with me and the others, so it's not bad for a change".

"Mm, thanks big brother~", having gotten Aster's greenlight Kana happily hummed as she and the other girls went to Charlotte's bathroom as it was the most spacious one, apparently, she asked it like that because Moon Stream Luans liked to swim.

Since Ixas had already left to his own room, the only ones left were Aster and Vivian.

"Aren't you going to join them, I'm pretty sure they wanted you over too?", asked Aster.

Vivian who had her eyes closed, slowly shook her head as she showed Aster her left shoulder that now had a pretty brown feather pattern.

"This is a new one actually, the poison of an Amber Armored Eagle, created to counter the poisonous wind attribute of those guys from the Storm Roc family… though it was a low exposition so the reaction is pretty low, who knows if another poison might pop out of nowhere in the bath".

Aster sighed, he snapped his fingers and blue flames covered Vivian's pretty pale shoulder purifying this new poison out of her body, only then she opened her eyes again and sweetly smiled at Aster.

"Thanks, also don't worry I normally don't even need to bath, my body cleans itself since it doesn't allow anyone to touch me, though I have done it just for relaxing purposes many times before".

"That sounds convenient", mumbled Aster.

They then went straight to the room, since he didn't have anyone to play with, Aster just took a quick shower and then laid down on his bed.

Vivian then entered the bath, if she was alone even if there was incident with her poison, there was no problem as others wouldn't be affected.

From the mind space Rya talked with Aster, since it was almost time to sleep so she has stopped her meditation for the day.

'Poor girl, being restricted due to her own circumstances'.

Aster nodded.

'Once we get the Emerald Whirlwind, she'll be free, also Kana, Mylene and Camila had taken a liking to her, so she'll get to hang around with others… say Rya what would have happened if I was unable to be the one in charge of my dragon lineage?', asked Aster.

'Mmm, a massacre honestly, if you went berserk even as a baby probably all the life in the planet no… in that star cluster would have ceased to exist due to annihilation getting out of control', answered Rya.

Aster let out a sigh of relief, luckily, he had his own lineage which outpowered the Drage bloodline even after having being boosted to a certain extent by the Wolfstein lineage.

It didn't take Vivian too much time to leave the bathroom, fresh as a lettuce and wearing a white sundress.

Since they were alone, Aster thought it wasn't a bad idea to talk with Vivian to pass the time.

"I always wondered, why do you wear all white clothes?", asked Aster as he laid down sidewards to see Vivian on her bed at the other side of the room.

Vivian turned around to see Aster, with a somewhat playful voice.

"How do you know I don't wear white just because I like it?".

​ Aster slightly shrugged.

"I have a friend who used to wear what her family wanted her to, but now she has found her own thing, you have the same expression she used to have", said Aster referring to Mylene, back when they met, she only used those large pink dresses.

Curiously it was after she entered in friendly terms with Eris, that she changed her style for the good, which included using the necklace that Aster used to "enslave" her.

Vivian then pointed at her skin as she answered.

"If my clothes were normal then… they will melt, I wasn't joking when I said by body is pretty keen on "no touching", so what I wear has to be elaborated with a special fabric which includes my own blood".

Vivian actually made a little cut on the tip of her finger showing the little drop of blood that came from it, just like his, Aster saw that her blood had a part which wasn't red toned, the difference is that in his case it had a golden stream mixed on it, and for Vivian it was literally white.

"Unfortunately given all the antibodies I have developed, my blood has gained a white tone, so no matter what color it was the fabric it will always end up being white".

Aster bitterly smiled, he had to do something similar thanks to annihilation, though he had more control over it than Vivian, at least enough to end up naked even if he was using normal clothes.

"Speaking of the subject, what are you going to do once we get the Emerald Whirlwind?", asked Aster, to which Vivian promptly answered.

"Uncle has an agreement with the ancestor of the Alchemy peak, she found my talent for poison rather "interesting" and in fact she was the one that sold most of the antidotes I have drank in my life, to uncle, so if get cured she offered to take me as her apprentice".

"Oh, really?", Aster was a bit interested in Vivian's words, because that meant she has seen the ancestor of the Alchemy peak, in other words one of his two godmothers.

"Then have you personally met that ancestor you mention, how was her?", asked Aster as he was curious to know more about the women his mother considered her sisters.

Vivian thought about it for a moment before she answered with a somewhat strange voice.

"Well… she is "eccentric" to say the less, but she is very passionate when it comes to alchemy, always trying combinations others wouldn't even dream on doing and the like".

"I would say she is even more reserved than me when it comes to deal with people too, as she always had a curtain made out of spirit energy blocking anyone to see her".

"Yawnn~".

Vivian suddenly let out a cute yawn, she wasn't bored at all, in fact she was enjoying talking with Aster, but every time a poison was purified from her body with Rigel's flames, she got sleepy, it was normal as she used the energy of her body to make all those poisons.

"Ah right, she also kept mumbling some kind of a count about the days she's been missing something or someone, that's all what I got to know about her".

Before Aster could say anything, Vivian fell asleep.

Aster raised an eyebrow at the count she mentioned, if she was as attached to his mother as she mentioned, then it was obvious she referred to Lilia.

Soon Mylene, Camila and Kana returned to the room while they chatted and laughed, apparently their girl's time went pretty smoothly.

Kana climbed on the bed and immediately entered in Aster's embrace; her big eyes looked at Aster as she gave him puppy eyes.

Aster smiled and then spoiled Kana, by gently stroking her silky long hair, before he noticed she has fell asleep, leaving only Mylene and Camila awake in the room besides him.

"So, how was it ladies, did you enjoy sharing a bath with others?".

Mylene listened Aster's playful voice and her face blushed a bit.

"It was a bit awkward at first, so we played with Kana a bit and then things went smooth after that, what a shame a certain someone hoggs al the "sisters" to himself, so who knows when will we have the chance back at home~".

In a rare occasion Mylene teased Aster, with a cheerful voice, it's worth mentioning that her cheeks had a reddish tone all the time, so it was obvious she wasn't used to this kind of interactions.

Aster chuckled, before he handed a ring to Camila.

"There you go, some "candies" I got from those guys, enjoy them".

Camila checked the contents of the ring and was surprised to see a ton of spirit treasures, there were even a couple which stood out, clearly being made with high ranked materials, although they were broken, it didn't affect her at all.

"Thanks Aster, this as well as the broken sword you gave me, should be enough for me to reach the peak of the Mortal Transcending realm by the end of the month!".

Camila couldn't help but be excited about the idea of advancing so fast in a such a short amount of time, she looked like a child at Christmas right now.

Until she realized she was being so childish which made her want to dig a hole to hide, so she covered herself whole with her blanked.

"Thanks~", still her happy voice could be heard coming from within the blankets.

Aster smiled and then turned off the lights, before he also closed his eyes and entered the mind space where he cuddled to sleep with Rya.

…

At a certain moment a few minutes before the sun raised at the horizon, Espi stopped moving and Aster practically only took a couple of seconds to open his eyes.

He gently placed Kana on the bed next to him, before he left the room being careful enough to not wake the girls.

The only one in the living room was Ixas, who apparently didn't have to sleep or maybe he needed less hours after being immobile for such a long time.

"We are here… but the landscape has changed a lot".

Aster approached the windows and was surprised by the sight that was reflected outside, they were at the entrance of a valley, which might not sound that exciting, if it wasn't for the fact that the whole valley was full with tornados making it impossible underground.

But as surprising as that landscape sounds, it was what was floating above those tornados what caught his attention.

A castle, a literal green castle is what it was floating above all those horrible tornados.

"That's our destination, the Emerald Heart mansion", mumbled Ixas.
