The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1194: Good Morning Darling

Karl moved from the Tiny World of the Titan Clan’s failed Immortal to his own, just in time to find Dana waking up for the morning.

”Good morning darling. I hope that I didn’t make you wait too long?” Karl greeted her, then saw the tiny dragon girl behind her.

”Karl, this is Button. She said that you didn’t have an opportunity to do a full round of greetings when they first arrived.” Dana replied, then placed a kiss on his cheek.

”Good morning Button. What would you both like for breakfast?”

The little dragon hugged his leg, then grabbed them both by one hand.

”It’s the lake team’s turn to cook breakfast. They’re making breakfast burritos.” She announced.

”Everyone who isn’t involved in a project first thing in the morning gathers for breakfast, so that they don’t lose their sense of community now that they’re spread out to a half dozen different locations.” Dana explained.

Button nodded eagerly. ”Not everyone works all day every day. I’m usually on egg duty, but I’ve got three whole days off. Forest Dragons are good with chickens, so I volunteer to collect the eggs all the time.

The chicken coops are over by the grain and potato fields. The ones by the Yellow Striped Divine Grass.”

Karl knew where she meant, and nodded in agreement.

”I bet that you’re wonderful with the chickens. Now, did you want to fly over or walk? It’s a fairly long walk.” Karl asked.

Nearly two kilometres, to be exact.

Button took a twig out of her pocket and mumbled for a second, then smiled.

”We can walk. They’re still cooking tortillas, so it will be half an hour before breakfast is ready.

You smell funny. Did you cuddle a black dragon last night? The Dana Mage is very soft in fox form. Good to sleep next to.” She asked.

Karl laughed. ”There was a troublesome place where someone failed to reach immortality, and I had to clean the broken magic from it. That’s why I smell like death magic.”

Dana hadn’t gotten that part of the message from him, and she gave him a suspicious frown, but let the little dragon lead them out onto the pathway that led from the house down to the lake.

They were far from the only ones that were headed in that direction, the residents were coming from every corner of the Tiny World to gather for breakfast before going back to their duties.

”This is quite the place you’ve set up while we were busy. Did you do all this while we were planning the wedding?” Dana asked as they walked, swinging Button between them as the tiny transformed dragon laughed.

”Yeah, everything kind of happened at the same time, and I added the expansion to the Drodh workshop, the extra space in the Tiny World, and the caretakers all within a few days.

It’s working out pretty well, though. Look how well the Spirit Grass is growing.” Karl explained.

”That might be because Thor isn’t here to snack on it.” Dana reminded him.

”Still, it’s growing very well, and the stuff in his space is too. By the time that we get back, he’ll have a massive stockpile of the good stuff to snack on.” Karl joked.

Button giggled. ”This place has so much good stuff. Did you make it just to supply everyone’s favourite things?”

Karl winked at her. ”Not quite. Some of the things here are not edible, they’re for making potions.”

Button shrugged. ”Forest Dragons can eat almost anything. There are few things that are toxic to us. At most, they might be super spicy.”

Karl smirked at the little dragon. ”You look like the sort that likes super spicy things. And the sort that taste tested all the plants to find out which ones were spicy.”

Button laughed as she lifted her legs to swing by her arms between Karl and Dana.

”Not all of them. My big sister told me about lots of plants and what ones don’t taste good.”

Then, she pointed out every new plant that they walked past, and the merits of its flavour, nutrition, and the value that it provided to the ecosystem that it was growing in.

Forest Dragons instinctively knew an immense amount about the world, especially plants. But also the wildlife that should be in a region.

”It’s a good thing that we brought rabbits with us. Not just because they’re fun to chase around, but they’re also good at keeping the plant growth under control.

I know the goal is to grow as much as possible in the fields, but they aren’t the only part of the space that grows too fast.

I swear, we’re going to have to start giving them away soon. Bunnies breed so fast, and I can only eat so many of them in one year. But the Elves know lots of good recipes for them.” She elaborated.

”The Elves do?” Karl asked, not sure if he believed her.

Button giggled. ”Right? They won’t eat them, but they know how to cook them really well.

But our Elves here are much more open-minded than most. Did you know that the leader will actually eat eggs? An Elf that eats eggs.”

She let go of their hands as they approached the picnic area at the beach, where the ladies had four large grills set up frying sausage and eggs for the breakfast burritos, while another pair of druids conjured buckets full of what smelled like salsa, and a pair of grills in the back made pancakes with fruit in them.

That would likely be for their vegetarian members.

Well, the vegetarians and the children because as much praise as she had given the breakfast burritos, the first place Button went was to the stack of cooked pancakes to roll one up and pop it in her mouth like a cigar as she tried to get between the cooks and the grills to see what else was cooking.

Forest Dragons and Lotus had more in common than even they knew.
