Because he didn't wanted to do everything inside the castle anymore and wanted his own building, Rakasha moved out of the Frost Castle, and we helped him with Fuyu to build an enormous, gigantic Forge Building, with several forges inside, giant storage capacity, and many rooms and areas, alongside a lot of tools for all sorts of crafting.
We placed several divine treasures here as well, such as the Forges being made from Primordial Fire Spirit Crystals mined at Muspel's skeleton (with her permission), and also the forges were crafted using a variety of Divine Heat Stones mined from the Divine Guardian Mountain, which was a treasure throve of low rank divine materials ready to be harvested, although we were moderate about it.
"Uncle Rakasha!" Benladra pointed at the bearded ice giant.
"Ahh, the ice cream is melting faster in here…" Kate sighed, the heat was quite strong.
I quickly used an Ice Spell called [Permafrost] which prolongs the iciness of items, keeping the ice from melting easily from the temperature of the environment.
"Ooh, Drake, you're back! And your family too." He said, as he cleaned the sweat from his big forehead, the forge was filled with many Blacksmith Apprentices that had been taught by him and had become a pillar for the growth of our city. "The thing you commissioned is done. Wanna see it?"
"Sure, we came here for that." I nodded, as Rakasha quickly rushed to the storage to go find it.
"Wait a second, I'll go look for it." He said, rushing towards the storage.
I had commissioned something rather important to Rakasha, which used a variety of materials I already had acquired and mined in the Divine Guardian Mountain.
"So what exactly did you commission?" Wondered Benladann. "Is it a new weapon?"
"Didn't you get your new weapon some days ago? The hammer's got old now?" Laughed Miranda. "Oh right, you also have that one Demonic Beast Bone Axe thing, right?"
"New armor?" Benladra asked innocently.
"Hmm… Mech?" Kate asked.
"Ah no, well, it's not for me." I confessed. "You'll see once it's here."
Rakasha quickly came back from the storage, holding on his hands two rather big items wrapped on clothes, which he put over the desk and then slowly revealed.
One of them was a beautiful golden-colored spear, with beautiful decorations resembling angelic wings, and with the tip resembling the open jaws of a holy dragon.
It was imbued with tiny red colored jewel fragments from the big chunk of Primordial Divine Fire Dragon Soul Fragment I had saved, and some unique materials such as Resplendent Heaven Crystals and Divine Gold Ore.
The first which I got from Benladra's Divine Realm when we visited it, and the second being the Metal I can create with the [Divine Holy Metal Creation] Divine Ability.
And the second item was a long, silver-colored sword. It was imbued with several circuits, and the crystallization of Technomancy and System Essence, which I had extracted from the System's synapsis as we cleared it off bugs and errors personified as monsters, these were corrupted, broken apart pieces which I purified, and they became surprisingly interesting materials.
The silver-colored metal wasn't any metal though, it was made out of the components of Greenwood's mechs, which I had smelted and purified, and enchanted with my Divinity. And lastly, there were several small blue jewels, pieces of the Divine Sea Dragon's Divine Core Fragment.
"Wooow, so they were new weapons!" Miranda was amazed.
"A spear and a longsword." Benladann noticed. "Interesting, though, don't you already have two of them? I guess having more never hurts- Wait, you said this wasn't for you, oh. I get it now."
"Big spear and sword?" Benladra wondered.
"Shinies." Kate analyzed them.
"I put a lot of effort into making these babies, they're my greatest creation so far! You gave me a bunch of premium materials, so I had to do my best." Rakasha laughed. "They are strong enough they are slowly developing souls, but they need to be named first. So choose the names for them."
"Hmmm…" I started thinking. "The Golden Spear shall be named Valkyrie, and the sword… Electra."
Ding!
[You've named the [Divine Weapon] as [Valkyrie]!]
[You've named the [Divine Weapon] as [Electra]!]
[Both [Divine Weapons] have developed a strong bond with you, and their Divine Souls are beginning to manifest slowly!]
[Because these new Weapons are growth-type Divine Weapons, the more they're used, the more they will develop.]
"Nice, this is perfect." I nodded. "Now, Benladra, Kate, come here."
"Huh?" Benladra was confused.
"Me?" Kate asked. "What's wrong papa?"
The two girls were too innocent to even believe their father had decided to make them their very fist Divine Weapons. I've seen them fight with weapons of their own magic, but those are temporary, and break easily.
I had then decided to create some prototypes and then let Rakasha improve them into proper and amazing divine weapons with my indications and materials provided.
"These are your weapons." I smiled, caressing their little heads. "You two have fought and worked very hard since you've been born. You're the ideal example of what strong dragonesses should be, brave, strong, and also with a great sense of responsibility and empathy. For this reason, I've decided to finally gift you your very first Divine Weapons. Also, isn't today your birthday, Benladra? You've completely forgotten!"
"Oh!" Benladra was surprised. "So this is my birthday present, daddy?!"
"Sword… For me, papa?" Kate asked, she seemed very taken aback. "Oooohh…"
"Yep! And indeed!" I laughed. "A birthday present for you, and your… let's say early birthday present for you too!"
"Oooohh!" The two princesses were instantly amazed and happy, grabbing their weapons and immediately sensing their powerful Divine Energies coursing through their bodies.
It seemed the weapons easily accepted them as their first wielders, perhaps because they were my daughters and they could somehow tell the connection.
FLAAASH!
Valkyrie and Electra glowed brightly, connecting their Divine Souls with my daughters, and accepting them as their wielders now.
"Ooh, it's glowy! Daddy I wanna try using it!" Benladra was excited.
"Me too!" Kate said, jumping over the ground.
"Hahah, okay, okay, let's take it one step at a time." I laughed.
Today we were celebrating Benladra's five-year birthday, while Kate was going to be around three years in a month or two within the Divine Realm. Of course, in the outside world, little time has passed since my first daughter's birth, perhaps a year.
But because we've spent so many months inside the Divine Realm, years even in between battles, wars, and objectives, the two have aged rather quickly. So I had to adapt to that, naturally.
"Well, it should be nice if you two practiced with your father while you can." Benladann smiled, as she gently hit Miranda's hips with her elbow.
"O-Oh yeah!" Miranda nodded, quickly remembering something. "Anyways, we're busy right now, so we'll be on our way! You guys can take… as much as you want to come back home!"
"Make sure to enjoy your new weapons, girls!" My wife smiled.
"Eh? Okay." Benladra was slightly confused her mom was going off out of nowhere.
"Sure." Kate smiled, without noticing much herself.
"Anyways! Let's go do some training then. So what should we do? Some sparring? Or some monster hunting?" I asked.
"Sparring!" Benladra said.
"Monster huntin…" Kate added.
"Okay, one at a time then!" I laughed.
