RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse-Novel

--An) I will get more chapters out later, so only one for now.--

Blake ended up playing bario with the girls for a while before they grew tired again and fell asleep while hugging him. Mina flew into the room and landed on Blake's head, and looked at the girls. "Your daughters really love you, you know."

"I hope my wives love me just as much," Blake replied with a grin.

Mina pursed her lips and pulled on Blake's horn. "Isn't that a given? We are willing to do anything for you. Just as you are willing to do anything for us."

"I know." Blake reached up and poked Mina, who giggled. She held onto his finger and followed it down to his head, where she then kissed his lips.

"I think we should move house…." Mina suddenly said as she took up space on Blake's shoulder.

"No. While normally that would be the best idea, I do not think we can escape no matter where we hide. You saw and felt how strong Nanaya's mother was. I also do not think they will come back. If they do, it will probably be to have another mother daughter spat. While I know her mother was a bit rough, I do not think she was trying to kill me at that time. Her power surged forth, and I just happened to be in its path. From what I can tell, she really loves Nanaya and just wants the best for her. Just as I want the best for my daughters and will go to any lengths to give them what they want.

"Although I wish they would not do this with my family around. If I was slow, even by a second, I would have lost both my girls. Then I might have lost my mind." Blake would never forgive himself if his daughters had died before he did. He would go to any lengths to gain revenge.

While Blake was talking with Mina, he did not know all his words were being heard by said mother. She had been watching him this entire time. She had to admit he was a man who cherished his family. "At least he is not stupid he understands where I am coming from. Nanaya can not just marry anyone. They need to be able to provide for, care for and protect her no matter what. While he checks off a few of these boxes, he is lacking in the protection department. He could never protect her. But then again, he still has two wives who are much more powerful than him."

Ishtar did not know what these girls saw in this man beside his few good qualities. He would never be able to protect them fully. She scratched her head and continued watching. She was starting to see some of Blake's charm, but she was still not sure why her daughter was so hooked on a man she had just met.

Back at Blake's, he walked out of the underground house and was currently sitting in the open field. Next to him was Josline. "Feel anything?"

"No…. I can only feel the mana in the air, not this astral power stuff." Josline sighed. She really wished she could feel it, if it was something that could make her stronger.

"Don't feel down, I can't feel it either. It's strange. Mana is very abundant here, but the astral power stuff seems to be something we can not detect. I wonder if it is because we are not part of this world."  Blake sighed. He had been sitting out here for a few hours trying to feel this astral power while his wives were taking turns to keep him company. "If we could at least feel astral power, maybe we could grow stronger. It could also be something to do with our current evolution as well."

"If it is evolution, then we will probably never be able to feel astral power. We do not know how long it will take to reach such heights if it is not one or two evolutions. Even if that is the case, we might be heading home at any time now, right?" Josline asked. Her eyes showed she was longing to return home.

"This… I will need to see…." Blake sighed as he stood up. "We will need to see if I can tear a hole in space time or not to reach our world. I know I can not do it myself. I have tried, but if I have all of you girls inject your mana into me, we might be able to."

Blake decided it was time to check this out. He had been trying to avoid it in case it did not work, but now that things had turned out the way they did, it was definitely best to go home. They could not feel this astral power, nor could they keep staying here for no reason at all. While he did want to use the abundant mana in the air to allow his girls to evolve, it was not safe.

Blake called a meeting, and all the girls, along with his kids, went topside. They stood out in the golden grassy field and gathered around Blake. The girls all had one hand on Blake's body, ready to stay, injecting him with mana. "Okay, let's try this."

Ishtar, who was watching this scene, looked on with interest as she wanted to know what this man was trying to do now. She watched as he held his hand out in front of him with closed eyes. It was then that she began to understand what he was trying to do. "Is he trying to return home!?"

Many questions popped into her mind, but she did not plan to do anything, as his failure or success had nothing to do with her. But what she did not realize was that she was paying a bit too much attention to Blake and his family since she started watching him. Without realizing it, her interest in the young man had been piqued.

"Here I go!" Blake concentrated as his wives poured their mana into him. He could feel the air around him tremble, but the pathway back was still not opening. He gritted his teeth and used every ounce of mana being injected into him to its fullest, but no matter how much he tried, he could not get the tear to open. "Damnit!"

He had failed. They were currently stuck here…..
