22 Maxene Alexandria (1/2)

When Sura got back, she was shocked to see Luna who was in the middle of testing out the armor. When he willed it, dragon scales would form another layer on his skin, protecting it. He could cover his whole body with it, or partially, as long as he willed it, horns would form from the side of his head and protrude towards the front of his head.

If he willed it, a tail would form, not too thin, and not too thick, it would be perfect in battle to catch an unsuspecting enemy off guard.

”Whoaaaah! Father! Can I ride on your shoulders and use your horns as handles?” The little kid immediately jumped on top of him as if he was her mount. He could only look at Sura helplessly. Now that this kid wasn't trying to punch a whole through them, she was even more adorable.

”Luna?”

”Yes, Sura?”

Blushing, she continuted ”Our uhm... dauuu--- daughter. She wants a name and she said she wants you to give her one.”

Luna scratched his head, ”Don't you have any ideas?”

Sura coughed before she continued ”I tried to name her Dirt.”

”Dirt?” Luna couldn't have a more bewildered look on his face.

”Father, Mother said it was because I was the Daughter of the Earth, but I don't like that name at all.”

”I'm sorry, I thought it was poetic at the time.” she reluctantly replied.

Luna burst out laughing while Sura couldn't stop blushing in embarrassment.

”Alright. Hmm... What about Maxene Alexandria. We'll call you Max for short.” Luna suggested.

”Yes! I like that name, father!” Max clapped for joy.

Sura looked as if she was in deep thought ”Why that name? I like it, I'm just curious.”

”Ah, well, you see Maxene or Max originated from the name Maximilian, which in Latin means 'Greatest. Alexandria is the female version of the name Alexander, meaning 'defender of men.'”

After hearing the explanation, Max was even happier than before. Sura couldn't help but smile, ”Mn, it's a great name.”

Luna proceeded to lift Max off his shoulders and sat her down on the couch and asked her, ”Max, I know you're very strong. But is there anything else you're capable of that you'd like to tell us?”
