Hmm, being an expert in grumpy people with Ignatius, I can immediately tell that my mother is indeed very grumpy, perhaps because she's… Well, she's over 600 years of age, isn't she? Usually old people is grumpy. I don't want to call my mother old, but she has lived a lot, so perhaps her patience is not as much. Or maybe she got a lot of patience but we are just way too dorky with dad, so we always make her lose it?
Nonetheless, my father is a fearless man that even is capable of taming my mother, and even find her cute when she gets angry! Well, she's indeed very cute when she gets angry but also scary… But my father just plays with her and teases her lovingly, I can see that despite discussing a few times, they have a healthy relationship.
"Alright, let's go, I don't want to tease your mother any more than that or she'll get even angrier, haha!" Laughed my father, as he petted my head. I quickly nodded happily, as the two of us quickly moved forward. My mother sighed as she crossed her arms and blushed a bit.
"I'll get ready the stew in around half an hour, so you better roast that thing quickly!" She said rather demandingly.
"Hahaha! You're very demanding today, aren't you?" Said my father, as we walked outside the tent. We walked out of the tent and found ourselves surrounded by the many tents there were, the Amazon people were cooking their own food at this hour, and the night had already come, the sun was gone but there was a beautiful full moon atop the sky, shining brightly and bathing the night sky with its moonlight.
My father sighed happily as he looked atop the night sky, the stars were decorating the night ceiling beautifully, resembling a sea of cosmic beauty. I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful night before. It must be because we are closer to the coasts, so the sky is often clearer? Well, whatever might be the case, it was just way too beautiful to miss
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Asked my father. "The sky..."
"Yeah! It is pretty…" I said. My father looked back at me lovingly, as he petted my head and lifted me up with his free hand.
"Dad I'm 7 now, you can't just lift me!" I said. "Geez!"
"Haha, for me, you're always going to me my little princess…" He said, as he kissed my cheeks. "You're enjoying the trip, Sylphy?"
"Hmm… Yeah… I guess!" I sighed. "Not like we got anything else to do."
"Haha, right…" He sighed. My father then looked at me with an apologetic expression on his face. "I am sorry for forcing you into this situation… I… I wish I could be stronger so we wouldn't have to always be running away…"
"E-Eh? Dad, you're already the strongest, aren't you?" I wondered. "D-Don't say such things! I know what's happening… I know we are doing it for a reason… You don't have to worry about it."
"…Really?" He asked. "A-Aren't you angry at me? I am sorry for not bringing you with Yggdra… I know that tree means a lot for you."
"…Yeah, I got a bit angry!" I said while smacking his shoulder a bit, although he barely felt anything by that. "But I got over it because I am a big girl now!"
"Haha, you're only 7 years of age…" He laughed. "But I guess you've matured a lot; I suppose that's what elven children are like… But, do you really forgive me?"
"I-I would never get angry with you, daddy…" I sighed. "You're my dad! I… I would never hate you."
"…S-Sylphy! Uooohhh!"
My father suddenly began to cry like a baby while hugging me, rubbing his face over my own face, and leaving me all wet with his tears.
"My little girl is the best! My daughter is the best!!!" He began to cry desperately.
"D-Dad, stop it! There is people watching!" I cried. "Dummy! Dummy!"
"I-I don't care! They must know that my daughter is the best!" He cried, as he left the wild boar carcass in the floor and lifted me with his two arms…
"Uwaah! Stop it or I'm going to get angry!" I cried, although deep down I felt embarrassed and slightly happy he was so affectionate with me.
"A-Ah, okay, okay, I'll calm down, haha…" He giggled, as he finally let go of me and put me down in the floor. I pouted angrily as I crossed my arms.
"Dummy!" I said angrily.
"Hehe, sorry… Ah, you look just like your mother…" He said. "So cute…"
"Ugh, I am going to help Shade roast meat instead!" I said angrily, moving towards Shade.
"E-Eeeeh?! N-No! Wait, Sylphy, don't replace me like that!" He cried, chasing me down while holding he giant wild boar with one of his hands.
"What is happening here?" Askes Shade confusedly, as I found Aquarina helping him set up the fire to roast a big creature they had there.
"Sylphy! Eh?! Why are you running away from your dad?" She asked.
"He got too clingy now…" I said.
"Sylpyyyy!" Cried my father, reaching me rather quickly.
"Allan calm down a bit, you're scaring her." Said Shade.
"Eh? Don't get involved between me and my daughter, Shade…!" Said my father.
"Huh?! I think you're misunderstanding something…" Sighed Shade.
"Papa, let's just roast the big wild boar, okay?" I sighed.
"O-Oh! Alright." He said.
And like that, father quickly set up a fire and put the big wild boar to be roasted over the flames he created, his flames were special as they could cook meat quicker without burning it too fast, so he said that in around an hour, the meat would be fully cooked.
"Let's add some sparkles of Cooking Magic so its good for the kids." Said my father, using the same techniques as my mother… He's pretty amazing mage for someone that wasn't talented initially.
