The enormous gates of Celestia Dreampark slowly opened.
Golden light spread across the sky.
Floating islands drifted above endless clouds.
Cosmic rivers flowed through the air like glowing streams of stars.
Massive dragon-shaped rides flew overhead while giant crystal wheels rotated around miniature galaxies.
Every few seconds, colorful fireworks bloomed across the heavens and transformed into birds, dragons, and creatures made of starlight.
For once.
there was no war.
No invading gods.
No collapsing realities.
Only excitement.
The first people through the gate were not Kael's wives.
Not Wukong.
Not even Kael.
It was the daughters.
Lyra's Kaelry immediately pointed forward.
Dad look at that!
Kaelignis Veyris looked toward the sky.
A gigantic dragon-shaped roller coaster flew across floating mountains and vanished into portals before emerging from different dimensions.
Kaelignis's eyes sparkled.
We are riding that.
Umbrythra Veyliss looked upward calmly.
Estimated survival rate appears acceptable.
Elyrion Veythera tilted her head.
Acceptable is a strange word for fun.
Nearby, Veyloria Kaelthera simply stared at a giant floating whale made entirely of stars.
Her eyes widened slightly.
Pretty.
Everyone suddenly looked at her.
Silence.
Lyra slowly pointed.
Veyloria said something first.
Kaelignis looked shocked.
I heard it too.
Veyloria blinked twice.
Then quietly looked away.
Behind them walked Kael Veyris.
Beside him walked Lilith, Ignisia and Nyx.
Ignisia crossed her arms.
This place is huge.
Lilith smiled softly.
The children already disappeared.
Nyx looked forward.
Indeed.
Everyone looked around.
The daughters were gone.
Silence.
Kael turned slightly.
Three seconds later.
the daughters suddenly returned carrying snacks larger than themselves.
Kaelignis proudly held a giant crystal stick covered in glowing red sugar.
Lyra carried blue star popcorn.
Elyrion somehow held seven bags despite her size.
Umbrythra carried exactly one item.
Veyloria carried a tiny glowing dragon plush.
Kael looked at them.
How?
Lyra pointed behind her.
Free samples.
Kaelignis nodded.
Many free samples.
Elyrion looked completely serious.
Extensive research was conducted.
Nearby Kael's wives began gathering.
Seraphina observed the floating architecture.
Aetheria examined the magical structures.
Cosmyra looked impressed.
Genesisra smiled at Elyrion.
Umbryssia quietly watched Umbrythra.
Sanguinara Dracoryx folded her arms.
Eldritch Chaos Sovereign stared at floating galaxies drifting overhead.
The others laughed and talked nearby as they wandered through the dreampark streets.
Suddenly.
a familiar voice shouted from above.
Sun Wukong dropped from the sky carrying mountains of food.
You started without me again?!
Kaelignis pointed.
Monkey uncle!
Wukong landed.
Then stared at the food everyone carried.
...
You all robbed a kingdom.
Lyra looked offended.
No.
Samples.
A few minutes later.
everyone arrived before the biggest attraction in the entire park.
The Celestial Dragon Coaster.
The ride twisted through stars, dimensions, floating mountains and cosmic storms.
The tracks disappeared and reappeared throughout the sky.
Umbrythra looked upward.
This appears dangerous.
Kaelignis immediately grabbed her hand.
That means fun.
Then all the daughters turned slowly.
Toward Kael.
Dad.
Come with us.
Kael looked at the ride.
Then at them.
Silence.
Ignisia smirked.
Good luck.
Lilith smiled.
You cannot escape now.
Nyx closed her eyes.
His fate has been decided.
Kael looked at five hopeful faces staring at him.
Then nodded once.
Accepted.
Instant cheering exploded around him.
And high above the park.
for the first time that day.
Kael Veyris sighed.
Not from battle.
Not from danger.
Just because his daughters had already won.
