"Christina! Hector! Papa is back!" Billy said while he ran to hug them as soon as he returned home.
When Billy arrived, Christina jumped into his arms and then hugged him tightly. Who cares about power? Nothing could beat the feelings that Billy had now. Unfortunately, Hector just hides behind the legs of his mothers. Billy forced a smile, but he felt like sighing. Billy was thinking that he had to spend some quality time with his son in order to make him open his heart to him. Unfortunately, he had no idea what two-year-old boys were interested in these days. In any case, he was happy that Christina welcomed him like that, but he also wished that his eldest son could do the same. While it was nice to have a cute daughter, Billy also wanted to become a cool father for his son. That being said, it seemed that he would need to work harder with his relationship with his son... probably from the very scratch. It was downheartenind, but it couldn't be helped.
"You never change, big bro," Samara suddenly appeared and then said.
"Hey, it has been a while dear little sister," Billy said. "How about a hug to your tired and old big brother? Where is Samuel?"
"He is in the underground training area," Samara replied. "That is quite something that you have built there."
Billy was finally home… it was noon, so he decided to take the rest of the day off. Before having lunch with his family, he decided to take one long hot bath. He needed to relax and get rid of that battle aura completely. As one would expect, the twins wanted to hear from Billy about the things that he saw during that mission. Now that he saw them together like this, Billy noticed that they were starting to look a bit more different from each other. Samuel was getting taller, and Samara was becoming more lady-like. Billy wondered if it was because they were traveling under the supervision of anyone… Still, it seemed that things were fine.
"It is quite scary to imagine a human being having the power of a dragon… I want to see the one that is the guardian of that dungeon to have a better idea," Samara said. "Still, staying inside a dungeon for days is something that I would like to pass."
"I can show you how the dragons were, at least the ones I faced thus far," Billy said. "Let's go to the underground training arena."
Billy thought that some problems were bound to happen while he was away there since everything was powered by magic and required some regular attention, but everything was fine. When the other arrived, Billy made some Earth dragons. Naturally, they were more like sculptures than anything.
"If anything, they sure look fearsome," Samara said.
"I bet it would be awesome to ride one," Samuel said.
"As expected, you do get it," Billy said while punching Samuel's left side slightly.
"How about a little spar, Billy?" Samuel asked. "I want to see the strength of someone who killed many dragons."
"You have guts, kiddo," Billy said and then crossed his arms to make himself look more imposing. "Come here tomorrow morning, as soon as the sun rises and then I will show you my might."
"Samuel… At least give big bro a few days for him to rest," Samara said.
"It is fine, I was planning to resume my training tomorrow morning Anyway," Billy said. "It will serve as a good warm up."
"Don't fall from your high horse," Samuel said.
Billy could see that the twins had gotten pretty strong. They probably were even stronger than him at that age. Still, they were lacking experience. It is a certain type of experience that Billy would like for them to never have… The experience of fighting opponents when both of their lives are on the line.
After spending the night with his wives and making up for the lost time, Billy headed to the underground training arena the next day. Both of his siblings were there, but they still looked pretty sleepy. Samara wasn't interested in sparring, but she wanted to watch. She was the type who learns more by watching other people's foolish mistakes, and Samuel was someone who makes a lot of those.
"Well, how do you want to spar?" Billy asked. "With weapons, without weapons? With magic, without magic?"
"Let's go with only fists first," Samuel said.
Billy wondered who influenced his little brother to be with so much confidence. Drew wasn't like that, and Billy wanted to think that he acted most of the time humbly. Still, he was fully aware that he probably was the reason behind that… As long as Samuel doesn't act high and mighty toward everyone, it would be fine. Still, Billy decided to correct his behavior a bit.
In any case, Billy assumed his fighting stance that was pretty similar to a boxer waiting to mess with an opponent's rhythm. His left arm was slightly extended, while his right one was his guard. As impatient as he was, Samuel charged and then tried to fake a straight to Billy's face, but he tried to kick Billy's left side at the last moment. In the end, Billy just punched the leg with enough strength to stop the motion.
Samuel jumped backward but soon charged again, and this time, he launched a barrage of punches toward Billy's stomach. However, Billy stopped them with his right guard alone. Samuel frowned since his best punches weren't even leaving marks behind. That was more than a little bit frustrating. So, he charged with all his might, using all of the buffs he knew, and tried to break Billy's guard. However, he suddenly stopped and then fell to the ground. Billy hit him with a perfect counter on his right temple. He probably will wake up pretty confused. Still, that was something necessary for his growth.
