Epic of Caterpillar

"So you don\'t have a grudge anymore?" Wondered Sol.

"No." The Wyvern Overlord. "Although meeting you face to face, something I was unable to do back then is rather... impactful for my memories, I am not simply going to hate you now or something. I think it would be very counter producent for our journey. Even more as seeing you\'ve become a good friend of Kireina-sama and everyone here who is her precious Party in this world."

"I see... Maybe I should learn some more from you, I have... to move on a bit too." Sighed Sol.

"Hm, you\'ve grown very strong after reincarnating here. I can tell by merely glancing at your soul." Said the Wyvern Overlord. "You\'re youthful and brimming with potential to become something even greater in the future, yet you lack spirit and passion, something to drive you enough... Or well, you lacked it."

"Ah... Elfina..." Sol sighed.

Over time he had been thinking more and more about her now that I think about it. I mean we all think and worry about her, but it is very obvious he got something else going on in there. He\'s really... into her. It could be said he got a crush, yeah.

He hasn\'t even spoken about coming back to Genesis anymore either. Perhaps he want to stay in here with Elfina in the end. I won\'t get in the way to be honest; I would really be happy if Elfina ends up with a strong knight such as him to protect her.

Well, although I am jumping too much to conclusions, seeing how we have yet to find her, but she\'s getting closer to us.

"Perhaps you were a rather hollow shell in the past, but it is quite clear you\'ve found something to drive you. Why don\'t you let go of these traumas and insecurities holding you back, of this weight? Slowly but steadily, swim against the river\'s current." The Wyvern Overlord said.

I never thought he and Sol would ever have a conversation like this before. It felt almost surreal to see with my very two eyes as I cooked food and taste the stew.

Ahhh~ It is really good!

Cooking Art\'s doing wonders there!

"Thank you... You\'re the least person I ever thought would teach me such things with so much compassion." Sol sighed. "Once more I.... I am sorry. I regret what I\'ve done, so many times... Since that day that... I guess I got my just desserts after what happened to me. I was captured by a crazed woman and died, being turned into an Undead Slave of hers... My last moments were fighting against a brave young hero, which I hope becomes better than me. Well, it\'s not as if it\'s a hard thing."

"Oh, that young blonde boy, yes. He is indeed a promising youth." Said the Wyvern Overlord. "He\'s already going to have a child."

"Oh really? With whom?" Wondered Sol.

"Ah, with my oldest daughter, Amiphossia. I accepted him long ago... I still remember the egg, but when I died, it had yet to hatch, sadly..." I sighed. "When I\'m back there, I\'ll surely see my first grandchild, I can\'t wait, to be honest."

"Wait what?! With your daughter..." Muttered Sol. "I-I see, so he was into... fairies?"

"Oh no Amiphossia\'s a big vampire lamia, she inherited my vampire side rather than fairy." I laughed, recalling my little girl since she was a tiny baby makes me smile.

"Hm, I also got my kids back home. I want to go back to Genesis as well." The Wyvern Overlord said.

"How many kids do you have?" Wondered Sol.

"Several! And all of them got kids of their own as well so I am a grandfather by now." Laughed the Wyvern Overlord. "I am an old man after all." His blazing soul projection suddenly grew a big beard.

"I think the food\'s ready." I said, the smell of everything was already making everyone drool in hunger. I quickly began serving everything over the large plate, as I kept grilling more meat and boiling more stew. I also made a lot of salad and brought out tons of bread.

"Oh man I am starving..." Eriant said.

"Oh, this smells so niceeee!" Ariant sighed.

"So good!" Fiere cried. "A-Ah... Sorry." She had quickly broke her nature there once more

"Don\'t worry, enjoy the food to your heart\'s content you guys!" I laughed happily, letting everyone eat as much as they wanted. It was an all-you-can-eat feast!

"Phew, I already got most of the materials. There were a lot of some I simply didn\'t had for some reason, perhaps they had different names... But I replaced the majority with others." Frank said. At the end it all costed over five hundred million points..." He sighed.

"Wow, that\'s a lot! Thanks for you help Frank, here, have a nice meal." I said with a smile, serving him a large plate with dragon steak and a big plate with stew with big potatoes.

"Ah... Food from another world." He said with excitement, beginning to eat the stew. "Hm! Why is it so flavorful?! It tastes better than mom\'s stew?! And it is filled with all the motherly love too..."

Frank suddenly began crying out of happiness.

"I missed such a comforting meal..." He sighed. "I\'ve been stranded in space for a while now since I started my journey to get back my Soul Fragments... After reviving my father and all, I spent some years relaxing and setting everything up nicely for this, but I never thought the damned Overseers would attack me all the time. If it wasn\'t thanks to Chaos help, I would had probably been captured some time ago. It has been a long while since I\'ve eaten something so comforting."

I guess Frank has also gone through his fair share of troubles...

"Don\'t worry, we\'ll get through it all together." I smiled back at him. "Hey, Shadrach, come here."

"Huh? Yes, master?"

I quickly grabbed his handle and then placed oil from dragon fat and then large steaks of dragon meat over his long blade, it was so wide it was the perfect grilling pan!

FRSSSSHH!

The meat quickly began to be fried deliciously by the dragon fat, as I added some spices on top. The fire emanating from his soul was just perfect as well!

"I call this Sword Cooking!" Everyone began laughing at what I was doing.

"Ah, I can\'t believe I would be used in such a way..." The Wyvern Overlord sighed.
