It was rather hard to not enter the Oasis' waters when my girlfriend was inviting me inside. The cold water was incredibly refreshing below such scorching sunlight, and the clear blue sky made for a memorable time. We played along, splashing water at one another. We also dived deep into the Oasis, finding all kinds of colorful fishes deep down, which Aquarina caught by summoning a trident made of ice. We got a big haul.

Of course, we didn't just do that, Aquarina embraced me while we were diving and floating above the water. We kissed a lot while relaxing, our tongues intertwining as I felt my entire body get hotter by merely being touched by her. She really liked grasping my breasts, constantly complimenting me on how big they were.

"Hmm~ Ahh, A-Aquarina, I think we should get going. Somebody is going to catch us!" I said, as I separated my lips from hers.

"Aw, come on, let's kiss a bit more." She bit her lips, looking at me coquettishly. "I can't get enough of your kisses, please~ Pretty please!"

"What am I going to do with you?" I sighed. "Fine a bit more and we go…"

We ended sitting down near the shore, giving each other kisses while enjoying the view. Aquarina wouldn't let go of me, always embracing me with her strong arms, and pushing my lips into hers. And I can't really resist either, I was completely in love with her. I simply couldn't fight her, she had me to her mercy…

"Hmm~" She kept kissing and licking my tongue, sometimes pushing it outside of my mouth to suck on it lasciviously.

"Ahh~ A-Aquarina… T-That's enough for now." I mustered a bit of my strength, as I kissed her forehead. "Alright? Too much kissing and you get too distracted!"

"Ugh, fine…" She pouted a bit. "But I can't help it, you're too cute! If it were for me I would be kissing you 24/7!"

"Hahaha, you dummy." I giggled, hugging her. "I love you."

"I love you too, more than anything!" She said, quickly grabbing me and making me sit over her legs. I had noticed she was already taller than me, and her strength was quite noticeable.

"Uwaah! W-What…?" I felt slightly embarrassed, but she giggled while having me sitting over her thighs.

"I've always wanted to do this! I see Zack always doing it with Mist, so I wanted to try…" She hugged me from behind. "You're so cute and small that it is rather effective." She hugged my belly.

"Hahaha, I guess I could get used to this~" I played along with her for a bit.

After a while, we decided to walk back to the camp. However, in the way, I noticed something we had missed before. There was a huge nest made of twigs and metal scraps above the pyramid. And I felt some faint presence. Could it be another firebird we missed?

"Aquarina, can you see that? I think that's the Phoenix's nest." I said.

"Oooh, right! Should we go look?" She asked.

"Sure, I was about to ask you that, actually." I nodded.

We swiftly flew into the skies, I used my Draconification Wings to easily soar up above, while Aquarina imbued water below her foot and used her ability to control it to easily lift herself off the ground. This was her way of flying. Her sea dragon form doesn't have wings after all.

"Oh, it's full of jewels and metal scraps!" Aquarina's eyes shone brightly, as she started gathering them and analyzing them. "Oh, this is Gold Mithril?! I have never seen this kind of metal! And this other is… Lesser Orichalcum?!"

"Looks like what they eat the most is the Orichalcum of the pyramid." I said. "The Metal the Gods utilize to create their constructions… There are also a lot of spirit stones. Probably what keeps this nest so hot even now- Huh?"

However, as we were looking around, I noticed something. There was a bright gold egg-shaped metal. I touched it, and it was burning really hot. If it wasn't because of my blessing and skills, I would have surely burned my hand touching that.

"This is… An egg-shaped metal?" Aquarina wondered.

"No, this is… A Phoenix Egg!" I was shocked. "It still alive and it is developing well. I think it might hatch quite soon… In a couple of days, give or take."

"W-What?!" Aquarina gasped. "That's crazy! Aren't phoenixes like super legendary beasts?"

"Yeah…" I nodded. "If we could make it our familiar, we would have an incredibly strong guardian that cannot easily die. But I feel a bit guilty if I take it. I have so many Familiars now…"

"Maybe I could take it?" She wondered.

"Be my guest. Try it out, maybe you'll be able to bond with the egg right away." I nodded.

"Alright~" Aquarina smiled, touching the burning egg and resisting the pain.

A thread of golden light coming from her soul connected to the egg's interior. The life force of the little Phoenix was like a powerful blazing golden flame, and so was its soul. It looked like it was accepting Aquarina. That's nice! She only has Pyuku as her non-spirit familiar. Having a Phoenix would really help her out-

ZAAP!

However, to our surprirse, the connection was forcefully closed, as Aquarina felt a burning sensation over her body, falling to her knees.

"Ugh!"

"A-Aquarina!"

I flew to her side and covered her on healing spells until she felt better. Her hands healed from the burns quite easily. Combining my Yggdragon Aura of Protection and Healing with Light, Life, and Nature Attribute healing spells always helps the most.

"I-I'm fine, thank you Sylphy." Aquarina sighed in relief. "But that hurt! This little rascal didn't accept me even when it was inside an egg!"

"That's weird, usually monsters that haven't even been born have very weak wills to resist a familiar contract." Said Ignatius, who had just woken up, materializing at my side, floating in midair. "I guess it is because it's a Phoenix. Even before being born, they're prideful birds."

"Maybe Sylphy could make an easy contract, seeing how their elements align…" Aquarina said. "But she doesn't want it though."

"Well, let's bring it with us and see what we can do." I said.
