A few days ago…
Eve and Hujarar sat in the living room as they watched Aldred play with some magical toys.
"Dad, I am bored. I want to see galaxies fireworks again."
Hujarar snapped his fingers and they were suddenly in space. Ahead of them was a large glowing disc—the galaxy.
"Are you ready?"
Aldred nodded frantically.
Hujarar snapped his fingers again, and the galaxy exploded into blinding lights of colorful gas and matter.
Aldred watched in awe. He laughed and hugged his father as he watched the explosions expand at light-year speed.
They then proceed to have fun in space, riding galactic worms, and entering the inside of a black hole. It was a weird experience, and Aldred felt nauseated. Hujarar deleted the black hole immediately.
After having so much fun, Aldred came back home and Eve lifted him to his bed. She smiled sweetly at him.
"Look at him. So adorable and cute," Hujarar said.
Eve smiled as well, then her smile disappeared. "I love our current life, Hujarar, but do you think we spoiled him too much?"
Hujarar was deep in thought before he nodded. "I guess we are. He's still our little baby boy who hasn't spread his wings yet. Maybe we should do something."
Eve looked worried. "Maybe."
…
Back in Dina's room.
Aldred yawned. Even though he wasn't exactly a baby anymore, he still tended to sleep a lot. Dina knew this and immediately made the bed comfortable for him. He put a pillow on his right side as Dina lay on his left side, caressing his head.
She sang him a lullaby song and he quickly fell asleep. This was his everyday life. Being a baby sure was nice.
After having a sweet dream of sweets and milk, Aldred woke up with new energy.
'Woohoo! I'm ready for a new day, Baby! Oh wait, I am the baby. Hahaha!'
The door of the room opened and revealed his mother. "Your big sister is asleep?"
Aldred nodded.
"Too bad. We're about to go sightseeing. Wanna come?"
Aldred smiled and nodded.
Eve giggled and beckoned with her finger. Little Aldred floated up, arched in the air, and then landed in her embrace. He giggled when he was so close to her face.
His mother snapped her finger and the door slowly closed by itself. She brought him to the balcony where his father already waited with a fishing rod. Oh, were they going fishing? That seemed interesting.
"Come on, Aldred. Let your father teach you how to fish," Hujarar said.
Aldred was put down and he excitedly ran to his father's leg. "Fish. Fish."
"Hahaha. I will catch a big fish for you. Just wait."
The castle was currently floating on top of an ocean, high above the clouds where the birds couldn't reach, but his father's fishing rod didn't have a problem with that.
His father heaved back the rod and then swung it forward. The hook jolted towards the water with supersonic speed and then blasted a huge wave of water.
"You use too much power, dear," Eve said.
His father scratched his face. "Sorry about that. I was too excited. Hahaha."
As weird as his father was, Aldred still wanted to see what kind of fish he would get. A salmon would be nice.
Suddenly, the fishing rod jerked, and the reel spun. Hujarar immediately grabbed the reel and prevented it from moving. The tip-top of the fishing rod bent and threatened to snap.
"Seems like we got something big," Hujarar said.
Aldred and his mother were excited. They wondered what kind of fish they would get.
Hujarar's feet slid forward and then got stuck on the bottom of the railing. Aldred was shocked that the fish could force his father to do that, after all, his father was a universal level threat. Just what kind of fish was down there?
The reel slowly went forward despite Hujarar holding it down.
"Dear, what are you acting for? Hurry up and pull it."
"You said I use too much strength."
"Come on hurry up before the fish get away."
"Alright, fine."
Hujarar gripped the reel and it immediately stopped moving. It couldn't even budge in the slightest. His father took a few steps back and then yanked the fishing rod up.
The fishing line quickly went up, and then a large shadow covered the whole balcony. It was a giant beast with 72 tails covered in pristine, glistening scales. Water fell off its body as it got thrown upward into the sky.
"Wah!" Hujarar and Eve exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Aldred was shocked. He expected his father to catch a fish. An ordinary fish. Not something gigantic with 72 tails.
The beast flipped in the sky and gave a world-shaking roar. It opened its maw and bright crystal water spun inside his mouth in the form of a ball.
Just as it was about to blast the entire castle with its super powerful jet stream, it saw a scary being staring at him with two red eyes. Those eyes felt like they looked directly into its soul.
It trembled and then immediately canceled the spell by gulping the spinning water ball.
The beast then dived into the water, and blasted the water upward, almost reaching the castle.
"Hahaha," Hujarar and Eve laughed.
"Isn't that fun?" Hujarar asked.
"What is that?" Aldred asked.
"It's a fish of course," his father said.
"…"
Aldred was speechless. There was no way that thing was a freaking fish. It was so huge. Even when it swam around under the water, he still could see its large silhouette. It was at least twelve times larger than a Mosasaurus.
His father then proceeded to catch even more bizarre gigantic fish. He even cooked one of them for him which he kindly refused.
'There is no way I'm eating tentacles with eyes all over it.'
After they got bored catching fish, Hujarar controlled the castle to float above a continent. Aldred narrowed his eyes and he noticed a bunch of swarming dots going at it against each other.
"The weak humans are fighting," Hujarar said with a mocking smile. "Look at those fools charging ahead and raising their swords against the people they don't even know. They're merely pawns controlled by their king."
Aldred nodded in agreement. War was a terrible thing for everyone except the kings and the lords. Putting people on the battlefield and then telling them to fight for something they didn't even believe was unacceptable. He didn't care that much about it and enjoyed the scene.
After all, the people down below weren't related to him.
Out of curiosity, Aldred decided to ask his father. "Father, why are they fighting?"
Hujarar laughed. "You're still four years old, so you might not understand, but I will tell you. Those ants down below fight because their lords wanted some dirt and water."
"But we have a lot of those."
"I know, but their lords never have enough of those. Anyway, watching them is boring. Let's do something else."
"What about cooking?" Eve asked. "I read a delicious recipe book yesterday, I am sure both of you will like it."
Aldred nodded frantically. "Cook."
Hujarar sweated. Eve's cooking was terrific, to say the least, and Hujarar never used the word terrific so lightly. "Maybe next time honey, why don't we get down and take Aldred to walk around. Maybe a change of atmosphere will do good for him."
Aldred was excited. He wanted to know what was down there. 'Is there adventurers? Cultivators? Supers? Espers? X-gay? guardian of the pussy cat?'
He turned around and looked at her mother with big, cute, teary eyes.
Eve smiled and caressed his head. "Okay, let's take a walk.
