Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

-----

"Ggrarr… Grawr…"

The little dragon girl continued gnawing the hard tail of Lucifer, he had a lot of defense so she wasn't even getting through the scales, but she liked biting through the tail anyways, and didn't let go of it.

"I remember my three other children did the same when they hatched, they bite through my tail and that of their mother for like a few days." Said Lucifer. "It helps them calm down too."

"Alright then." I said nervously. "The baby's born and… How do we handle this? I didn't thought this far."

"Me neither…" Said Emeraldine.

"Nope…" Partner also didn't.

"Hahaha, I can take care of her with Lucifer, you don't really need to worry. I feel it is my responsibility." Said Brunhild.

"Ah, yeah… You don't have to worry, Maria…" Lucifer said gently, although I felt like he was deep down desperately asking me to help him. I could tell by the forced smile.

"Okay I'll help. I want to become this baby girl's mother after all, if I am not present for her, how can she call me mommy one day?" I asked while sighing.

"I guessed you would be motivated by such a reason." Brunhild said.

"But what name should we give to the girl?" I wondered.

"A name…" Lucifer wondered. "If I could, I would ask Crystal for a name… I had named the first, then the third, she only got to name the second, we were doing turns…" Sighed Lucifer.

"I see, so that's how you did it. Well, I am your wife now so I get to decide then!" I said.

"Eh?!" Lucifer felt taken aback.

"I am joking…" I sighed. "I was trying to lighten the mood here but it seems futile. Now, we should try to decide for a name by all of us together. But first, food. What do Dragon Babies eat when they hatch?"

"Usually they eat their eggshell." Said Brunhild. "After that, we give them soft meat, they like to gnaw bones with meat as well, ores can only be consumed once they grow a bit larger."

"Alright baby, here's your eggshell." I said. The baby girl looked at us with her big golden eyes, and then noticed the eggshell. She began to drool, quickly grabbing a piece and beginning to snack on it by biting through it, and swallowing the bits quite easily.

"I'll bring her some water too." I said, quickly bringing out a large barrel with clean water from my Inventory and taking a small cup. "Here, don't eat it all or you'll asphyxiate…"

"Muhh…" She didn't wanted to drink water, moving away her face from the cup.

"Dragons usually don't drink much water; it is not that essential." Said Brunhild.

"I-I see… I guess there's no milk either." I said.

"Yeah, we don't naturally produce milk." Said Brunhild.

"Crunch… crunch… Nom…" The little girl already was halfway through the entire egg and kept eating.

We quickly sat around a table and began throwing names to decide it for her.

"How about Crystal like her mother?" Wondered Emeraldine.

"Well, it does sounds nice, but it kind of makes me sad too…" Sighed Lucifer.

"How about Sasha? Sounds nice." Said Partner.

"I don't know…" Said Lucifer.

"I had thought about Luna, like the moon." Said Brunhild.

"It does sounds fitting, her black and white hair are like the night and the moon while her bright golden eyes are like the stars…" Lucifer said.

"Hm, if its night then Nyx, how about that? It literally means night in ancient Greek." I said. "A language from my original world."

"Oh, I see…" Lucifer said. "Nyx sounds… quite beautiful and mysterious."

"I like Nyx." Said Brunhild. "It sounds refined as well, like the names us dragons take."

"I agree!" Partner said.

"It is quite a simple yet interesting sounding name." Said Emeraldine.

"Nyx it is then." Lucifer decided. "Luna could be her second name."

"Nyx Luna sounds beautiful." Brunhild said.

"Nyx Luna it is then…" I said with a smile, as we saw the little girl finish off her eggshells and then… burp.

"Buhh…" She suddenly got sleepy all of the sudden, as she grabbed her papa's tail and began sleeping over his arms.

"We need to get her some fitting baby clothes; we'll make them asap with the dwarves." Said Emeraldine. "She might be a dragon but the cold is still dangerous."

"I agree, let's quickly make her some more comfortable clothes asap." I said, as we rushed out of the room while Nyx slept covered in many blankets over my bed while Lucifer and Brunhild watched over her.

After around an hour, we finally found some baby clothes from Gofumin, which I had gifted her long ago, they were already too small for her as she had a growth spur these last months, so we quickly brought these clothes for little Nyx.

"This will only be temporary though, Emeraldine is making her some new clothes using magic threads, also for you as well." I said to Brunhild.

"Magic Threads… How are those made?" Wondered Brunhild.

"We mix normal threads of a strong fabric with magic ores crushed into dust, and magic crystals crushed into dust as well. those crystals that you find inside monsters." I said.

"Oh, those tasty and crunchy snacks filled with mana, they're always nice to eat first when hunting a beast." Brunhild said. "Ah, I am hungry… Maria, about the ores…"

"Sure thing, have a feast!" I said, quickly putting over the floor a pile of hundreds of different and colorful ores.

"Uwaahhh… This is really a buffet!" Brunhild said, beginning to snack into the ores as if they were fried chicken, they were incapable of resisting her bite, even the hardest of materials I had available succumbed to the dragon girl's biting force.

Meanwhile, we had to wake up Nyx and changed her into her new clothes, they were a full body yarn cloth. We also put on her some cloth diapers in case she wants to go to the bathroom. Lucifer said that baby dragons go to the bathroom anywhere in the cave and then it is cleansed using fire magic most of the time, but we can't do that inside this big house, so diapers it is.

"Muhhh…" Nyx seemed annoyed over the clothes, but quickly got sleepy again and fell into her bed, sleeping soundly.

"She's so cute…" Said Lucifer.

"Yeah… Oh boy, we really got a long journey ahead if we are going to raise her…"

"As long as I have you with me I think it should be possible."

"I guess… I'll take over the burden. Don't forget Partner and Emeraldine, they want to be her aunts, so they'll help as much as possible as well. Partner is currently preparing some meat for her for later."

"Right… I guess raising a child might not be so hard if I have so much help, thanks for everything."

"No problem dear…"

Nyx was already sleeping relaxedly, she looked so adorable I wanted to hug her for all eternity.

Like that we cuddled over the bed around the sleeping Nyx, and without realizing, we fell asleep as well.

It was a long day…
