Lyraen: I'll take custody of her. (Stretched out her arms to collect the child)
Child: Haaaa(screamed as she held tightly to Kasper, not letting him go)
Lyraen: She's so clingy (let go of the child and stared at her)
Demon: (whispered in the old demon's ear)
Grandpa: The work is done. The queen has sent helper to us all (raised his hand up into the air)
Demon: (cheered)
Grandpa: Thank you so much for helping us, lady Lyraen, sir Kasper, sir Howzer and sir Leon
...
Lyraen: Good bye grandpa (waved)
Demons: Good bye. Thanks for helping us (screamed from behind)
Howzer: (glanced at the cart his horse pulled filled with vegetables and fruits) Why do I have to be the one pulling this? (Nagged as he watched the rest far ahead his while his horse tried to keep up)
Child: (nestled quietly in Kasper's arm)
Kasper: Ahhh (sighs)
Lyrixa: (stared at Lyraen, Kasper, Howzer and Leon with her eyebrow arched up while staring especially at the wrapped red haired child in Kasper's arms) A child.
Kasper: (glanced at the child then back at Lyrixa with a slight nod)
Lyrixa: The child will be kept in the palace in the care of lady Freya.
Child: (slowly opened her eyes while trying to adjust her sight with the environment's lightning)
Athena: DING! Bonus task. Make contract with Red Plant.
Kasper: (slightly nodded then requested from Lyrixa) Can her Majesty please leave the child in my care under strict supervision?
Lyrixa: (narrowed her eyes) You sure you can handle a child. I think a female demon would be able to take care of a child better.
Kasper: Yes I can handle her your majesty.
Lyrixa: (nods slightly) It's fine. It's decided that the child in now in your care sir Kasper.
Kasper: Thank you your majesty.

KNOCK! KNOCK!
Kasper: Who is it? (Asked)
Calylixa: It is I, Calylixa Sir Kasper. (Replied outside the door)
Kasper: Come in (commanded)
Calylixa: Pardon my entering (apologized before opening the door and stepping in with the child in her arms)
Kasper: What's wrong? (Asked when he saw the child in her arms with wide eyes opened)
Calylixa: She wouldn't fall asleep and keeps calling out for you.

Calylixa: (watched Kasper mutter to himself quietly)
Child: (nuzzled her face against Calylixa chest then stared back at Kasper)
Kasper: Ahh (sighs) I wasn't expecting something like this (collected the child from Calylixa and permitted her to leave)
Kasper pulled the child into his embrace, laying her head on his chest and gently patted her to sleep with Pookie also nestling on his laps. Within minutes Kasper and the child dozed off unaware of their environment.
A bang echoed, then a sudden barge in the room that made Kasper jerk from his sleep. He slowly opened his eyes to see a live aftermath of a battle before him. Sylara (the tulip child) and Pookie dove around like a living flying disaster. His room was a big mess with torn curtains, broken glasses and burned up woods.
