Beyond Chaos – A DiceRPG

[864] – Y03.164 – A Quiet Time I

"Look at this chonky girl,” Adam said, holding Kavgak within his arms, feeling how heavy she had become. The girl squinted her sore eyes towards him, narrowing further from her sleepiness. "Your sister is too cute, Jaygak."

"She is not too cute, she is perfectly cute."

"Have I corrupted you too?"

Jaygak flashed a smirk in response, leaning further back in her chair. Her body ached, though it had soothed over time. "Has your father corrupted me?"

"Yes," Jirot replied, cackling lightly, hiding herself against her aunt's neck.

Jaygak reached up to the girl's hair, brushing it gently, while little Jarot also smirked lightly. "What of you, Jarot? Do you think your father has corrupted me?"

"Daddy," the boy replied, his lips forming a shy smile, before he sucked his thumb and rested his head against his aunt's shoulder, the cool steel pressing against his cheek.

"How could you bully your sister, you smelly girl?" Adam asked, reaching up to brush his hand through Kavgak's hair, before running along her chubby cheek.

The girl squirmed within his arms, before turning over as she sucked her thumb, her sleepy eyes calling her to the darkness which brought light soon after.

'It's not fair that your sister is so cute...' Adam closed his eyes, exhaling lightly. 'No. It's only fair, since my sister is so cute too.'

The children, overwhelmed by their sleepiness, were then gently guided away to sleep. Adam spotted a particular chonky boy as his father carried him over a shoulder, the boy's drool leaking against his father's shoulder.

'I didn't get to spoil Danagek!' Adam huffed quietly, before placing the little Gak girl into the corner, stepping back to see her tiny form in the darkness. With his half fae sight, she was grey, but equally as adorable as in the light.

"It's time to return to your father," Jaygak said, pulling the children away from her.

"No," Jirot groaned quietly, trying to find her energy to cause trouble, but she slowly melted against her aunt, seconds away from falling asleep.

"Did you spit out the teethleaf?"

"No..." The girl yawned, revealing the lack of the leaf within her mouth, which had fallen on the journey here.

Adam gently peeled Jirot away from her aunt, and did the same with his sleeping boy, the pair squirming until they rested against their father. Adam let out another huff, overwhelmed by how cute his twins were. 'How can they do this to me? I'll forgive you, just this once.'

Adam returned back to the shared estate the group had made their home within the fort. The tiny form of his daughter shuffled up towards him, the girl fending off her sleep after smelling her father's return. Adam dropped to a knee and nuzzled into her forehead, while her younger brother and sister stumbled their way to embrace their father's leg too.

'I really should have beaten up the First Hope...'

Adam assisted his children to sleep, planting firm kisses on their foreheads as they began to lay, one by one. Lanarot yawned, letting out a soft groan as her brother kissed her forehead, before she rubbed her cheek against his chest.

“Goodnight, papa.”

“Goodnight, Lanababy.”

Jurot had already said his goodnights to the children, who had also embraced him tight. His heart pounded within his chest. He could feel the heat within his body, and his desire to slay a hydra in that moment.

‘It is like this.’

‘Should I have wrestled one of the hydras to make a pet?’ Adam thought. ‘One of them had six heads, maybe it was a sign?’

Omen: 3, 4

"Rowajin is so cute," Adam confirmed, rubbing the boy's head, feeling how thick his hair was. The tiny boy stared up towards Adam, before his lips quivered, only for Uwajin to pull her younger brother back, embracing him tight to stop him from crying.

"Rowajin, why do you cry?" Uwajin asked, yawning for a moment, causing her brother to yawn too. "Are you sleepy?"

"Sleep," the tiny voice said.

"We have awoken too recently."

The tiny boy pouted up towards his elder sister, who gently brushed his cheek, feeling her soft skin against her finger. 'Are all children so soft?'

"Your little brother is cute too, Bavin," Adam assured.

"…” Bavin looked down towards his brother, who stared at the tiny ribbon within his hand angrily. ‘He is too small.’

‘Have they not been corrupted by me yet?’ Adam thought, before leaving the pair be. He couldn’t spoil them as much as the other children since he wasn’t related to either of them. ‘I should be able to spoil Rowajin, right? He’s Uwajin’s little brother, and isn’t Uwajin like family to Naqokan, who is like family to me?’

Adam stopped, almost walking into his sister and her cousin, who were holding hands.

“Look, papa,” Lanarot said. “It is Danagek.”

“Hello, Danagek.”

Danagek met Adam’s eyes for a moment, before he drew closer to Lanarot.

“Is my papa, Danagek.” Lanarot brushed the boy’s cheek. “Is okay.”

“Okay?” Danagek asked.

“Okay,” the girl replied.

“Okay.” The boy looked up towards Adam once more, eyeing him suspiciously.

“You should meet with him more often,” Tonagek stated, appearing with the triplets beside him.

“I definitely should,” Adam said. “He’s my Cousin, so I’m allow-,”

“He is your cousin,” Tonagek corrected.

Adam’s lips twitched for a moment. “Doesn’t that give me a greater right to spoil him?”

“Yes.”

“Right, just like that,” Adam said, his lips forming a wider smile. “You should be greedy in allowing me to spoil your son.”

“I will do just that,” Tonagek replied. “When he grows up, you may train him as you please.”

Adam’s cheeks flushed slightly, his brows raising in alarm. “What do you mean by that?”

“I have meant what I said.”

“How can you say something like that? Danagek, he’ll never grow up. He’ll stay small and cute forever. Isn’t that right, my little Konarot?”

“Yes,” the girl replied, her tail swaying from side to side.

“That’s right… you all need to stay small and cute forever.” Adam dropped down to hug his triplets, before also hugging his sister and then finally his chonky cousin. “If you grow up, I’ll never forgive you…" Adam paused, feeling the children within his arms. “Okay, just this once, but only because you’re so cute.”

Cobra watched Adam from afar, her eyes glued to the mysterious form which was known as Adam. ‘He…’ She blinked. ‘How did he threaten the Marshal of the East and the likes of the First Hope, but…’

As the group came together to eat in the morning, Adam lifted up Danagek.

“I didn’t get to spoil him last night since it was so late, but this is my cousin, Danagek. Do you understand what that means?”

Danagek squirmed within Adam’s arms, before noting his father nearby. He spluttered into a cry, but stopped the moment he was within his father’s arms, retreating into his chest.

“This is Tonagek, who is the brother of the President. Although technically he doesn’t have a position, that doesn’t mean he has no sway here. As much as the business and the Iyr are different, we Executives heed the advice of those we are related to, and since we heed the advice of the President’s brother as if he were like Director Nirot, that means that Danagek is also a Little Director. Am I understood?”

“Good morning, Little Director,” Fred called out, before the wave of voices joined together.

The tiny Iyrbabies all glanced towards the voice, including the tiny girl who was slightly hard of hearing.

“You should treat him like the Little Director, because otherwise I don’t get to spoil him. If any of you end up becoming the reason I can’t spoil these adorable children, don’t expect to work here for long!”

‘He’s really an idiot,’ Cobra thought. ‘Did I make the right choice?’

“If you keep behaving like that, they will lose their faith in you,” Dunes said, sipping his milk.

“I’ve got to act that way, otherwise they’ll just fear me,” Adam replied.

Dunes froze, stunned by Adam’s logic. ‘He’s… right?’

“I am really an idiot, I just emphasise it a little, that’s all… plus, how could I forget to spoil my Danagek yesterday? I might have really become stupid when dealing with all those Aldishmen!”

Dunes watched as Adam broke apart some of the meat, before taking the plate to Gurot, slowly swiping some of the meat for the boy, patting the boy’s back gently and ruffled his hair, before returning.

“Jirot, Jarot, come,” Gangak called, before taking the twins away.

Once breakfast was done, Adam watched as the people around mingled together.

“Dunes!” Korin whispered, though it was almost a shout.

“What?” Dunes asked, noting the Korin was wide eyed.

“The President is the great granddaughter of Hadi!” He continued to whisper loudly towards Dunes.

“Hadi?” Dunes replied, wondering who the guide was in the context.

“Hadi!”

Dunes furrowed his brows.

“Gek, Dunes, Gek. Tanagek.”

Dunes shut his eyes tight, before his eyes snapped to meet Korin’s once more. “Hadi Tanagek?”

“Yes.”

“Who?” Adam asked.

Who?
