Healing an old wound 1

Although Alex was surprised by their visit here, in his inner dimension, but he shrugged it off as they were his wife's friends, but if they were males, then it would be a completely different matter, and you know why.

Anyway, he walked toward Vine who happily made room for him between her and her sister, Anna.

He sat between them while his daughter looked at him with a happy smile.

"Papa!" She said.

Suddenly Alex felt his mind blowing up and his eyes widened in shock and surprise. He absolutely didn't think that something like this to happen soon, and her first words were calling him 'Papa' and for you to know when your new born daughter call you with that name as her first words, you as a father would be beyond happy.

And that what happened to him, while his other wives present in the living room as some of them weren't here like Hinata and Tiamat as they went to do some things in their own rooms, with Hinata developing a new artifact and Tiamat cleaning her treasures as usual.

His other wives widened their eyes in surprise and amazement when they heard Melody said that, they knew that her development would be much different than any other normal child as her body and mind would develop much faster than the other children, but beside that, the time in the dimension was moving faster than the outside tho not like before as Alex adjusted it.

But definitely the most affected ones were Alex and Anna being her mom and dad.

He looked at her and a smile that was so dazzling making those who saw it felt like the world was so beautiful.

"My baby girl called me Papa~ say it again Melo~" He said was a voice filled with affection and love for his daughter while Anna was smiling like no ever feeling so happy at the moment.

And Melody seemed to understand what he said and said it again.

"Papa! Papa! Hehehehe~" She said it again while laughing happily at his smiling face.

Alex immediately felt his heart was pierced by an arrow and held her right away and hugged her lovingly.

"I love you so much, Melo~ my baby girl~"

She laughed in happiness and hugged him back, although awkwardly, but she managed to do it in the end and hugged him, rubbing her cheeks against his expressing her happiness and love.

Everyone in the room looked at the pair of father and daughter while smiling warmly, feeling very good and relaxed somehow seeing them like that while thinking if they had a child would he/she be like that.

But unknown to them, their children in the future will only be girls and not boys, but that's a story for another time.

Anyway, after some time, the atmosphere calmed down and Alex had Anna resting on his shoulders with happy smile while looking at her lovely cute daughter who was sitting on his lap resting her back on his body while hugging his arm that was wrapping her. His other wives and the girls sat on different areas in the room as some were sitting on the bed resting their bodies.

He looked at the red heard beauty and the Loli woman in front of him.

"So, Vine, are they the ones you told me about? "

"Yes dearest, they are. Let me introduce you.

The red haired one is Hephaestus the Goddess of Smith in the Greek Mythology while the Loli beside her is Hestia the Goddess of Family and House in the same Mythology."

Hestia had the corners of her lips twitched when she heard her calling her Loli but she didn't refute it as she knew that she was right, but still it made her annoyed.

"Hello, I'm Hephaestus, nice to meet you." She said with a smile introducing herself to Alex and his wives.

He nodded and looked at Hestia who smiler and pushed her chest making her large breasts bounce while putting her hands on her hips.

"Hoho, now it's my turn, my name is Hestia the most beautiful and important goddess of all times." She said proudly making Hephaestus sigh at her antics.

Alex only nodded while Vine smiled at her with a smile that wasn't a smile to her as it felt like the grim reaper was smiling at her which made her shudder.

"Well, anyway, what is the matter? "

"I wanted to ask something from you dearest," She said while Alex who heard this looked at Hephaestus and her eye patch and knew what she wanted to ask.

"You want me to heal her, right? But couldn't you do it? You are a goddess after all." Although somehow he knew why she didn't do it but he wanted to make sure.

Vine smiled awkwardly before saying "Well, although being a goddess but my domain is not healing but destruction and annihilation, so you know, I only can destroy but not build or heal anything."

He nodded in understanding as like she said, her domain wasn't something related to healing or something like that but destruction and annihilation that was why she was called the Goddess of Destruction.

Alex didn't ask further as he knew that Hephaestus's injury was something related to her soul and the soul of the gods and goddesses were so much different than any other soul, more powerful and robust but at the same time difficult to heal in case if injury.

It's like a double-edged weapon.

Actually, Alex was planning on healing her when he first arrived in Danmachi world, but he didn't have time as his wives wanted to try the dungeon beside his case with his power that happened 8 months ago.

He didn't want anything from her as he would have it in the end, may be sooner or later.

"Okay, I will do it."

Hephaestus smiled happily inside as she tried desperately to heal her wound in the past but nothing was successful.

Alex with his perfect control over magic and the increased control over souls due to how he increased his control over the destruction energy as his was much different than Vine that he doubted that it was the power of destruction anymore and was something else he didn't know, but he didn't think about it right now as he had a matter to do.

He looked at Anna "Honey, hold Melo for a moment."

"Yes darling~" And she took Melody from Alex who had a disappointed look on her face making Anna laugh slightly.

"Don't worry, he will hold you again~"

Then Alex stood up and walked to Hephaestus and sat beside her, making her have a look of his face closely which made her blush slightly which was something he noticed and smiled at her for that, making her blush harder.

"Take off your eye patch and let me see the wound so I can heal you properly."

She didn't say anything and nodded while taking off her eye patch but inside she was worried that he would feel disgusted with her deformed eye like how others felt when they saw it.

But Alex didn't care about that and just wanted to help her while slightly making her fall slowly.
