Transmigrated as a Ghost

“Yes, Gwyn safely had our child two days ago. She is resting right now and taking care of our new daughter. Later I will take both of you to see them, but for now we have more to discuss here.” Boreas said, the smile of a happy father on his face.

“It is as Boreas said, we have other matters to talk about. Your disappearance caused us no small amount of grief with the adventurers guild.” The king said with a sigh.

Apparently, Valerius, the Grand Master of the Northern Quadrant of the Adventurers Guild had been looking for them intently.

Both Marcus and Mrazivý had affirmed their desire to become mithril rank adventures after their wedding and now Valerius was trying to have them make good on their word.

Of course, he was not looking for them just to get done with the formality of promoting them, but because there was a mission that he wanted them to participate in.

“He would not say what it was exactly, but he looked pretty frantic. When we told him that you were on your honeymoon and had no idea where you had gone, he mobilized guild personnel to try to find you both. When that did not work, he tried to coerce us into telling him where you had gone by slightly raising the cut that guild takes on just about every transaction. Nothing major has happened yet, but it has caused us all quite a few headaches.” Frostine said, being the one in charge of dealing with the guild.

Whatever was happening within the guild, Valerius was clearly desperate to get Marcus and Mrazivý to participate in something.

Naturally both of them were not happy to hear that Valerius had been making things difficult on their home, but in many ways, it was their fault. They had been putting off following through with the agreement they made in order to pursue their own enjoyment and goals.

“I suppose we will not be getting much rest. We will go and check in at the main guild tomorrow to inform them of our return. Hopefully that will cool things down.” Mrazivý said.

“Thank you, Mraz, that will be a big help.” Frostine said with a relived expression.

After that, they had a few more minor issues to discuss, before Marcus and Mrazivý were finally able to return to their room for the night.

“Seems like we are about to set off on another journey right after returning.” Marcus aid once they were alone.

“Yeah, I was really hoping to stick around here for a while, but I am also excited to find out what we are in for. Just wish it was completely our decision.” Mrazivý responded.

Over the last several months the two of them had gotten used to making their own decisions and following their whims for the most part. But now that they were back in Borealia, there were certain duties that they had to attend to.

Still, it was far from a bad situation.

…

Upon waking up the next day, Marcus and Mrazivý got dressed in their normal adventuring attire and got ready to go to the guild. It was still unsure what exactly Valerius wanted of them, but there was a possibility they might need to leave today.

Nevertheless, before leaving the castle they had one stop to make first.

“Mrazivý, Marcus, I would like to introduce you to Safir Borealia. Our daughter.” Boreas said.

Nestled in Gwyneira’s arms was a small baby girl with a few strands of silvery blue hair on her head.

But her hair color not being the usual deep royal blue like Gwyneira’s was far from the biggest surprise, it was the face that she had horns, wings, a tail, and sharp teeth.

From what they had heard in the past about Boreas’ and Gwyneira’s children that the two had conceived long ago, was that they had all been human with dormant dragon blood. However, Safir was like Mrazivý after she had evolved and awakened her blood to become a dragonoid. A true hybrid between human and dragon.

“We were quite shocked as well when we first saw her. This is the first time I have ever heard of something like this happening. Though it is already rare enough for a beast such as myself to end up with a human.” Gwyneira said with a smile.

However, under her jovial expression as a hint of worry. Safir had been born a dragonoid and was just as strong as a mythic grade beast. They could not let information about her spread. 

There was no shortage of people that would kidnap her for profit or their own purposes if they could. While she was young, she would be the most vulnerable.

“Oh, it looks like she recognizes another of her own kind.” 

Being the young child that she was Safir began looking curiously at the new strangers that had come to meet her, and when she looked at Mrazivý, her eyes flashed gold and her pupils turned into slits like those of a reptile. 

Mrazivý did the same back and Safir began giggling and reaching out for Mrazivý.

“Go ahead and hold her.” Gwyneira said, beckoning Mrazivý over.

With slow and careful movements Mrazivý scooped up her newest relative and held Safir in her arms.

“She certainly has quite the grip despite being a newborn. I doubt that a low-level caretaker could keep up with her.” 

“Yes, that is a bit of a problem. As much as we would wish to, it is not possible for one of us to be with her at all times in the future. We were hoping that the two of you would help us look after her whenever you can. There are not many that we can trust with her, and honestly, both of you are at the top of our list.” Boreas said.

Among all the people in Borealia, Marcus and Mrazivý were easily within the top ten strongest at this point.

They were also family and Mrazivý was the only other dragonoid within the nation, or possibly the only other one in existence. Both Boreas and Gwyneira felt it would be best for their daughter to see that there was someone else like her as she grew up. And judging by the way Safir had already taken to Mrazivý only added confirmation to their decision.

“Sure, I do not see why we cannot look after her from time to time. That is not a problem, right Marcus?”

“No. No problem at all. I just worry that she won’t have any other children to interact with.” Marcus replied.

At this Boreas smirked and said, “Well then, the two of you just need to have a child right. I am sure that any kid of yours will turn out strong as well. I am sure they would be best of friends with our Safir.”

Mrazivý’s face began to turn a deep shade of crimson after hearing this, and Marcus was sure he would have been right behind her if he was physically able to blush.

“We have only been married for just a little while. I am sure kids are still a long way off. Plus, it is likely that we cannot even have children. Marcus is a ghost and a great spirit after all. His body is not even flesh and blood.” Mrazivý said frantically.

Marcus wanted to agree with Mrazivý, but he was not so sure that he should.

This world was already very different from earth, and Boreas and Gwyneira just had another child despite one being a dragon and the other an evolved human. He would not put it past the administrator to have made it possible for any creatures that could take a humanoid form to have children together.

‘I suppose I could ask.’ 

Marcus did have a method for contacting the administrator, though he was only supposed to use it if he ever came across another one of the tomes that could summon horrific beings from another dimension.

‘What am I even thinking about. It is way too soon to be thinking about that right now. What would we even do if we had to stop everything and worry about a kid right now.’ Marcus thought as he shook his head and pushed the issue to the back of his mind.

Just a moment later, Safir, wanting to be the center of everyone’s attention again, raised her arms up and began flapping her wings.

“Mrazivý, if you would hold her up above your head. She wants to try and fly.” Gwyneira said.

Safir had some instincts like those of a newborn dragon, and when Mrazivý held her up, the young girl spread the small slivery wings on her back and created a light gust of cold wind that gave her a bit of lift.

Of course, Mrazivý did not let go, as much as Safir was simulating flying, she could not actually stay airborne at this time. She just liked being held up and pretending to fly.

“Yes, she is certainly going to be a handful. She has already blown wind and snow into both of our faces on multiple occasions.” Gwyneira said while laughing.

As she did, Safir opened her mouth and unleashed her breath attack.

It was only a weak gust of wind with bits of snow in it just as Gwyneira had described, but this was still far more than what any normal newborn would be capable of.
