"Wait, you don't remember them? Bilili and Vulcan?" Freyja asked.
"Ah!" My eyes widened as I remembered. "Right..."
Bilili was the Dream God I found within the Dream Realm I had woven into existence. He was pretty much some sort of Eldritch God of Dreams, quite close to the things that must live within the Dream Plane invading Genesis right now.
He became my ally and helped me navigate dreams and grow stronger with this element. He often came in clutch in dream battles and was a reliable ally. He also resembled a giant squid-like entity of enormous size.
And then there's Vulcanus. This one's more complicated. She is a Dream Avatar I used before to navigate Dream Worlds and Dream Realms. Her body was sculpted out of the Dream World that Hephaestus had used to seal his daughter, Palikoi (Blaze), and use her powers for his forge.
Wow, that was back when I freed her from him and rescued her, causing this whole war against him and his family, which escalated into that entire war against the Olympian Pantheon of the Realm of Vida.
After that, I guess I kind of forgot about these two Gods. It's amazing to see they're still there, living their lives...
"I remember now. It's amazing that there are so many old friends gathered here," I said. "Wait... You said they have kids? With whom?"
"Together," Freyja said. "Their two children are very unique and powerful young Dream Gods and my beloved disciples. It is thanks to them that I was able to advance the investigation of Spirits so much too, as they provide a lot with their special abilities to see through the very dreams of inanimate objects."
"Amazing..." I said. "Are they around?"
"They should be working in the lab. They love that place," Freyja smiled. "They aren't as extroverted as other children... but they're good kids."
"I see! Well, I'm looking forward to seeing them," I said. "Where're Bilili and Vulcanus, though?"
"Either with their kids in the lab or probably working on something else, although on weekends they tend to go on dates," Freyja smiled.
"A-Ah... whew, well, I am quite shocked," I said, rubbing my chin. "Last time I remember, Bilili was just... a kid. I guess he grew up."
"He still cannot really communicate well. He speaks in little screeches, but I understand them," Freyja said. "Vulcanus does too. She said that he was the one that helped her gain her own consciousness after you left her in the Dream Realms, and since then they've grown closer together."
"I don't really want to imagine what those two did together, but good for them," I nodded, trying to delete that mental image from my head, but I couldn't.
Vulcanus was an "avatar" of me, but mostly just a "leftover husk" that remained after I took my soul away from Hephaestus's Dream Prison. She's quite literally the living embodiment of that Dream Prison, hence why she manifested as a giantess made of lava, magma, flames, and volcanic stone.
Actually, isn't she as gigantic as Bilili?
"Anyway, shall we begin the tour? There are some teachers already waiting for us in their classrooms. We wanted you to introduce yourself to some of the students," Freyja said.
"Eh? Well, okay..." I nodded. "I'm already here, so..."
Freyja and Redgaria guided me through the luxurious corridors of the academy's interior. Large paintings and statues depicting various gods, members of my family, friends, and even myself in multiple forms decorated the academy's interior.
Redgaria said that the Art Club was responsible for most of these decorations and that a couple of my children always participated there, such as Vudia, Ailine, Belle, Nirah, and Scarlet. They were wonderful little artists and had made a lot of these themselves.
Ailine, in particular, due to the nature of her Divinity, was the most talented artist in the Academy, with the power to literally bring paintings to life.
We entered the first classroom, which had only a dozen students, all of them looking different from one another.
There was an oni boy with golden skin and pointy thunder-shaped horns, someone similar to him but with blonde hair and a white horn on her forehead, a tall, lizardman-like young god with dragon wings, red scales, and golden horns, a pair of black and red titan siblings, a ghostly boy I saw near the fountain not too long ago, a purple-skinned frog-like girl with long seaweed hair and a creepy-looking smile, and... many more.
There were two pairs of siblings I knew from here, one of which I had only seen when they were just born some time ago... and now look at them, already looking like they're ten years old! Kids really do grow fast when they're demi-humans, and I can say that for sure because my kids also grow super quickly.
The first pair was most likely Raito and Palami's kids! They are so adorable, and they look so much like their parents! Oh, wow.
And the titan siblings, who had reduced their size a lot to fit inside, were Truhan and Celica's children. They sometimes fuse together but are separated most of the time like this. I'm glad to see that those two put their kids in here.
"Ah! Welcome back, Freyja! Oh, Director Redgaria, it is nice to see you as well."
A beautiful blue-haired goddess greeted us, wearing a white toga dress and golden sandals while carrying a shield and a sheathed sword. She wore a golden helmet on top of her head and carried some books she was reading to the children.
She was... Wait, I think I know her, but, uh.
Wait, wait! Redgaria's the director?! I had no idea! He didn't even tell me!
"Hello, Athena. Excuse me for a moment, we've brought a very special guest. I bet you remember her, right?" Freyja asked.
"Hm? Wait a second, Athena?!" I gasped.
"K-Kireina?!" the teacher gasped.
"Let bygones be bygones, please, Kireina. You were the one who decided to give her a second chance back then," Redgaria said.
