Chapter 46 - TULIP CHILD

After filling up about 5 bigger bathe, the demons all gathered around Kasper, watching what magic he was about to perform. Kasper careful poured few drops into each of the bigger bathe then instructed them all to wet the land after few minutes.

Demon: Woahh (gasped as the deadly plants suddenly turned green and bloomed into fresh plants)

The demon vegetables began to grow bigger and fresher. The dying tulip also bloomed and spread it's large leaves. It gently stretched it's silky vine. Kasper held out his finger to the vine as it curled up his finger.

Tulip: You saved us.

Plants: Thank you saviour (swayed their leaves)

Tulip: This seems to be my end as a flower.

Kasper: What do you mean, red tulip? (Asked confused)

Tulip: (suddenly grew bigger than usual and formed a large pink cocoon)

Kasper: What the hell is that? (Startled)

Athena: Scanning... Unknown figure movement captured .

The pink cocoon then suddenly stopped moving. The demons around watched the scene, wondering that was the weird looking creature. Lyraen also stared at the pink cocoon, not missing any visible details. Her hand calmly rested on her sword. Literally ready to slaughter anything to save Kasper.

Kasper gently and carefully stretched out his hand to touch the cocoon when the old demon leader yelled out.

Grandpa: Don't touch it.

Kasper: (stopped midway and quickly pulled back his hand)

Leon: You seriously had intention of touching the unknown creature? Is touching things your hobby?

Kasper: No it's not (didn't throw a glance at Leon)

Kasper instructed the demons to go on with their wetting. After few hours almost all the farmland had been wet. The cocoon suddenly changed the color from pink to bloody red then began to wobble. The web-like branches attached to other trees around suddenly broke as the cocoon wobble vigorously.

The cocoon smashed to the ground with a loud bang, squashing some veggie below it. A huge sand dust rose filling the atmosphere and covering everyone's visions. Not far away from the cocoon, a curled over figure slowly got up and walked out of the cocoon.

Athena: Alert! Alert! System sensing present if unknown creature walking towards host.

Kasper: (instincts sharpened as he stared into the dust, noticing a blurry moving figure).

Lyraen: Kasper (called out for Kasper that was in the midst of the dust chaos)

Kasper: (tightly clutched onto his miasma dagger)

WOOSH! The blurry figured suddenly glitched and disappeared along side the dust that also died down.

Kasper: Uhn? (Startled at the movement. He scanned around then suddenly felt a light tug on his cloth)

He looked down and noticed a little child with long wavy red hair that almost reached her ankle. Her big green puppy watery eyes stared at Kasper like she had just seen her father.

Child: Pa...pa (stuttered)

Kasper: Erh??? (Shocked)

Lyraen: (ran up to Kasper) Kasper. Are you alright?

Howzer: (ran after Lyraen) Be careful lady Lyraen.

Kasper: (looked up at Lyraen then back at the child that now clung to his leg) Let go kid. Who's child are you? (Gently shock his leg)

Kasper: (examined the fair little infant in his hands)

Grandpa: (slowly walked up to them, with his staff) A child? (Shocked)

Child: (turned around and stared at the old demon coldly)

Grandpa: (froze as he felt chills down his spine. The gaze was killing)

Child: Pa...pa (wrapped her short arms around Kasper's neck, pressing her soft chubby body against his cheek)

Kasper: Hold up. (Yanked her grip off his neck)

Child: Papa...(Waved her short chubby arms in the air)

Kasper: Hellooo Athena. Can you explaaain....why is she calling me papa? (Asked with a questioning look)

Athena: Your blood was an ingredient in the preparation of the healing flower. So she regards you as her father since she carries your blood. (Explained)

Kasper: Seriously? (Dumbfounded) First an accidental marriage, now a child? This is too much to keep up with.

Lyraen: (untied her cloak and wrapped it around the child) We'll report this to the queen.

Kasper: She's so small. Probably aged 1 or less (thought)

Lyraen: I'll take custody of her. (Stretched out her arms to collect the child)

Child: Haaaa(screamed as she held tightly to Kasper, not letting him go)

Lyraen: She's so clingy (let go of the child and stared at her)

Demon: (whispered in the old demon's ear)
