Chapter 7 - The journey begins

Standing on the beach of the island I look over toward Heather who is now feeding Windshear some slugs before we leave. After cooking her breakfast it turns out was a secret quest which allowed me to upgrade the island to have native sea slugs. Leaning against a tree I sigh thinking that I should probably have a look at the available quests while I have the chance. Taking one more look at Heather who is still feeding Windshear I nod before turning back to the ocean and sliding down to be sitting back to the tree. 

"System can you open the available quests." I say in a normal voice but quiet enough not to distract Heather. 

[Of course User please see available quests. Be warned not all quests involving your mates are viewable.] I nod at this as I see a screen open. 

Quest 1: Hide in the midst of the dragon hunters and find Viggo. Kill or turn him to good. 

Rewards: House upgrade. Users choice. 

Quest 2: Gain a pack of dragons and protect then within your island. 

Rewards: House upgrade. Dragon forge. Island upgrade. Infinite reserve of metals under the island in cave as well as a cave under Island to store the dragons. 

Quest 3: kill drago bludvist and Grimmel 

Reward: House and Island upgrade. Larger house and Island. Island moved to extra dimensional space allowing extra dimensional travel.

Quest 4: Create your own dragon horde with as much gold and jewels. Must completely fill the section of the underground cave under the Island. This can be done before creating a dragon pack but area will be limited compared to if completed after.

Reward: Unlimited money in any world you travel to. A power boost depending on how much gold and jewels you add to your horde.

Looking over the quests I wonder why these look like long term quests and not quick or daily quests. "Are these the only quests?" 

[No as you already suspect there are daily quests which are simple quests. The rewards are simple things like the slug addition to the Island or restock of the pantry. these quests are not shown because of how simple they are.]

Nodding at this remembering the quest this morning with the random daily quest of feeding Heather a good meal. Nodding with understanding I wave my hand to indicate to the system to close and look over and see Heather and Windshear walking over. I smile softly at Heather then Look over at the dragon who is still chewing on a slug. I laugh softly seeing this and how much Windshear is enjoying the slugs. 

"Are you done looking at your system?" I look at her shocked that she knew what I was doing even though I tried to hide it. She smiles softly something that I enjoy looking at very much. "Your father added that little bit of information as well." I nod at this before standing and brushing off the sand that I was just sitting on. I stretch slightly trying my best to show off my body to Heather to which she simply shakes her head. 

"Should we get going then?" I spread my wings out showing their full length. Heather looks on in awe having been looking at the draconic form but has never seen the wings. I smirk as I look down at her from my higher height. 

"Yes I suppose we should." She turns around quickly in an attempt to hide the growing blush on her face. I laugh as she gets on Windshear following close behind and standing next to Windshear. The dragon looks over enjoying the sight of my wings. Nuzzling close she looks at me as if requesting pats which I graciously oblige her with. Heather just shakes her head seeing this before motioning her to take off which she does by jumping into the sky and flying toward the last known location of Dagur's fleet of ships. Sighing and shaking my head I do a running start and jump into the air my wings flapping as I fly alongside her doing swirls around her making her laugh softly. 

[Daily quest completed. As this is also a quest involving your mate a special reward.]

I fly along beside Heather following close but keeping a small distance as I read the new message. 

[Reward provided. Upgrade to dagger.]

I read in shock as take out the dagger from my pocket and feel it heat up and begin to glow a bright white light making me stop mid air. This catches Heather's attention as she and Windshear stop and come up in front of me to get a view of the changing dagger. It continues to glow for a few minutes before it turns into a large sword with a blade on either side. The sharp metal part is on one side with a wooden backing. The reverse can be seen on the other side. The backing and handle are made of a strong dark wood with ribbons or rope covering the handle to increase grip. I look up at heather to see that she is also in shock. As I look back down I see a small indent in the middle of the handle, my eyes widen as I realize what it is. Using one hand under each guard I twist splitting it in two. I smirk as I begin swinging it around my smirk grows as I feel the ease in which it takes to swing the blades. 

[dual wielding. double sided blade. upgrade. can also be transformed into a tattoo on wrists. It is also possible to transform back into a dagger or knife when needed through the tattoo.]

I let out a happy and partly exasperated laugh as I realize how good these blades are. Shaking my head I lock eyes with Heather and smirk as I spin the blades and turn them tattoos that cover around my wrists like bracelets. The design is intricate showing many blades surrounded by vines and little stars. I look back at Heather and laugh at the open mouth shock on her face showing just how shocked she is. I smirk as she looks from my wrists to my face then back again. Even Windshear's mouth is open. 

"By odin I knew you could do things that should be impossible but seeing it is another thing entirely." My smirk only grows at her words enjoying the shock and awe I cause in my beautiful black haired mate. My head turns toward the way we were making me raise an eyebrow. Heather turns toward the way I am looking and smiles softly as we see a blue and yellow dragon flying towards us with what looks to be a human riding on top of it. 

"Ah looks like we have a friend of yours coming our way." My eyes turn away from the flying dragon toward Heather and see her smile softly and nod. Before she looks back at me and then at the coming dragon and wondering something.

"Do you want to reveal that you are part dragon yet." My head turns to my back with the large wings and think about it before deciding the answer is no and shaking my head. "Well you better get on the back of Windshear." Nodding I fly close and sit behind Heather and hide my wings as well as my other dragon parts. 

[12% assimilation of dragon]

My eyebrow raises as I see how much percentage I gained then I remember the quest probably gave me a little. Wrapping my arms around heather and holding on tight. Even though I could stay on fine without it I enjoy the feeling of my arms around her. I smirk as I feel Her shiver under shiver from the feeling of my arms. 

"Won't she have already seen me in my part dragon form even from that distance?" Leaning in close I take a smell of her scent enjoying it as I ask my question. She shivers at the sound of my voice next to her ear and the feeling of me taking in her scent. 

"No even from this distance she will simply think that it was a dragon that left. So it is fine we are all good." I nod into her head enjoy the feeling of her hair on my face. I squeeze in close pressing my boobs against her back which makes her shiver slightly. The blue and orange dragon comes up next to Windshear showing the blonde haired woman sitting on the back of the dragon. I lean back away from Heather but still with my arms around her. 

"Heather thank Odin I found you. I thought you had tried to go to the edge of the world and fly off with your reaction after finding out Dagur is your brother." Astrid sighs in relief before her eyes move to me sitting behind Heather and raises her eyebrow. "You have a new friend?"

"Yeah met her a while ago on an island a bit away and she gave me some advice about that situation that help more than you would think." Heather keeps her eye on Astrid as we all hover in the air. looking around I see a some stone pillars with bits of grass or moss on the top. Feeling that this conversation should be had on land instead of in the air. 

"Why don't we have this conversation on that little pillar over there instead of the air so we can let the dragons rest." With both of their agreement we fly over and land with the three of us stepping of the dragons and sitting on the ground and waiting for this coming conversation.
