Chapter 1056: The Cold Bath
Arad walked out of the sauna and looked at the hot bath, that wasn't where he was going after the sauna. His eyes shifted to the other side, where the cold pool was.
The moment he took a step toward the cold pool, Gamond's neck snapped as she turned around. In the blink of an eye, she had already flown out of the hot tub, landing in the cold pool.
The moment she splashed into the water, she immediately swung her arms out, catching every drop of splashing water, freezing them into ice cubes, and putting them back into the cold pool.
She moved so fast that only Arad, Sena, and Kali could see her act. "MOM!" Kory cried as she noticed that her mother had disappeared from the hot tub.
Gamond waved her hand at Arad, "Come join me! I'm waiting!" She threw him a kiss.
"NO! You aren't taking him!" Isdis rushed in and Kory followed her immediately, "Wait for me!" The two jumped into the freezing water and immediately regretted it, Gamond had cooled the water to such a degree that it was only kept liquid thanks to Gamond's magic. The moment a single drop got splashed out of the tub it froze immediately.
Arad walked into the cold pool and slowly lowered himself in. Gamond immediately could feel the water's temperature rising, he didn't go to the sauna to warm up, he went there so he wouldn't harm the others. Eris, Akasha, Zia, and Lucia were vampires linked to him with blood so the heat wouldn't harm them, but he was in fact heating his own body from the inside using his [Ho-white Nova].

"You're hot." Gamond looked at him with a smug smile, licking her lips. She leaned forward, trying to crawl into his lap.
"Move away!" Isdis pushed her away with her foot, "Don't get too close!" She instead jumped to sit between her and Arad, not daring to touch him as she too could sense the sheer amount of heat he was radiating.
"Get your foot off my face!" Gamond growled, grabbing Isdis by the ankle and dragging her back, only for Isdis to grab her in an arm lock and drag her to the corner of the cold pool. It was clear from a glance that Gamond wasn't intending to use her physical power, limiting herself to a human level around Arad's wives, and thus he didn't mind watching the two of them wrestle a bit.
^Mom is struggling against that human/Who cares, they are distracted, size Arad!^ She turned toward Arad with a thirsty glare on her face, slowly approaching him as she stole glances at her mother and Isdis fighting.
^Ah, no, he noticed me/ Mission Fish Dragon! Charge!^ She dived into the water, swimming through the pool like a shark, following Arad's heat signal with her thermal sense. As a thermal dragon, she could see things like a thermal camera, tracking heat and cold, but due to how new this sense is to her, she can't see normally when using it. She saw and followed the heat until she bumped into something soft.
She turned off her thermal and looked forward, immediately turning bright red, ^Leviathan/ Thanks for the meal!^ Her mouth was already wide open and heading toward his flesh.
A hand grabbed her by the leg and she was lifted up, when she looked, it was Arad. He stared straight at her eyes with a passive face, "What are you doing?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to/ Let me suck it off first and then be angry, will you?" Immediately upon speaking, she covered her mouth, embarrassed. Out of surprise and fear, she had said her thoughts out loud.
"I hear two voices inside you." Arad lowered her down and she was shaking, for two different reasons. ^I can't believe I said that out loud/ Mother and Isdis are still busy, safe!^ She unconsciously licked her lips and giggled, looking at him with a horny face.
Arad could sense the two brains thinking simultaneously, the white dragon brain, Kory's original one is dominating but that red dragon brain of hers still holds a lot of power.
"Two voices, I don't know what you're talking about/One is my yearning soul, and the second is my womb, crying for your genes!!" She declared with a shout, only to punch herself in the face in panic, for a moment there she felt like someone else had taken over her body, it was the red brain.
Wanting to kill herself more than anything else, Kory could feel the sharp glares of all the other girls in the hot tub stabbing her back like knives. She panted and lowered her head, "Please forgive me…I didn't mean to!/ You're marrying my mother and I've been a bad girl so punish me, Daddy!"
Her mother was already standing behind her with burning blue eyes, "What did you just say?"
A large smile crossed Kory's face as her eyes flashed red. She rapidly turned around swinging a burning kick at Gamond's face. Of course, Gamond blocked the kick with ease, but she still looked at Kory with a confused face.
"I'm still waiting for a reply."
"I don't know why…but my head finally feels clearer now. Did I do something wrong?" Kory glared back at her mother with a sharp glare, red scales slowly covering her foot and whole body as her fire grew stronger and stronger.
Kory's white dragon brain was the one in control of her body her whole life, but now after she awakened the red brain the two had started fighting. They are the same person, both are Kory with the same memories and emotions, except one is timid and shy, often seen as dense and naive, but the red brain is the clear opposite.
Now…the red dragon brain was taking control.
"I found a dragon and I want to fuck, you aren't trying to get in my way, are you Mother?" There was a reason why dragons get kicked out of their family nest when they reach adulthood.
A large grin crossed Gamond's face, "Is that a way to speak to your mother? No, I shouldn't complain as I was getting frustrated with how naive and easily manipulated you were." Gamond's eyes looked at Kory's burning foot, "The fire is as strong as your ice, but you're a fool if you think this is enough to beat me."
"I know I can't win." The grin on Kory's face never dropped, "I can't afford to look weak in front of him so I'd rather die trying than back down."
"Kory!" Isdis growled at her and Kory looked at her with a smile, "I'll settle things with you after her." She then looked at Arad, "Please don't worry, I won't harm your wives, I'll be satisfied with a single time and I'll leave."
Arad sighed, "First, put your leg down, you're naked. And, don't talk to your mother like that."
Kory immediately put her leg down and bowed to Gamond, "Sorry Mother, it was my fault."
"Look at you, listening to him while running your mouth with me… I haven't beaten you since you grew out of being a young drakaina." Gamond cracked her knuckles.
Kory giggled, "It's not like I'm going to fuck you or spend the rest of my life with you. I'm an adult now and it's time I found myself a new place to call home. Don't you agree? I'll only listen to Arad."
Arad looked at Kory's back. ^The two brains have the same thought, but one is unhinged and the other is collected. When any one of them dominates that personality will dominate and show up in how she speaks and acts, but it's all the same person, Kory.^ Since Arad could hear Kory's inner thoughts, he could easily conclude that even if Kory acted as tame and naive as she had before, all that this red brain was saying were the emotions she kept locked in the back of her head.
"Kory…" Arad tapped her shoulder, "Calm down and stop talking like that with Gamond."
"Arad is right." Isdis approached, "If you're going to live with him, Gamond will be around so it's better not to start troubles with her, and she is your mother after all."
Kory leaned on Arad and put one of her legs on another, staring at the ceiling, "You're right…but that doesn't change what I've already said. And I meant it, I won't let her get between Arad and me."
"Kory," Arad glared at her, "She is your mother, at least you have her around."
Kory froze for a second and looked at Gamond, "Sorry mother…I meant it…but…"
Gamond giggled as she sat beside her, "Don't worry. I'm glad you at least know what you want now. And look, we're sitting beside Arad and Isdis isn't stopping us."
Isdis sat on Arad's lap and looked at Aella who was in the hot tub, "Can you help me here with them a bit?"
Aella shook her head, "They are yours…but what do you think?" She looked at Tina.
Tina looked toward Kory and Gamond for a few seconds, "They can stay."
"Hoo…" Merlin looked at Tina, "So quick…What's their secret?"
"They listen to Arad." Tina replied.
