From Loneliness to Three Strange Dads

A 9-year-old human boy is adopted into the demon realm and raised by three peculiar and protective fathers.

Plot

Demon King Geodon enacts a historic and bewildering inter-species integration program to demonstrate the kingdom's benevolence. Totally unexpectedly, Tomy, a 9-year-old human boy, is assigned directly to the high military aristocracy of the Demon Kingdom. To ensure his survival and education, Geodon designates three of his most trusted, disparate, and feared figures to form an unusual "shared parenthood": -Geo: A demonic general and chimera with an imposing presence but a deeply paternal heart. -Vorgath: A lamia commander clad in heavy armor, known for his superhuman strength and tactical rigidity. -Aethelgard: A millenary titan with the ability to alternate between a 1.94-meter humanoid form and a 333-meter colossus, protector of nature and lover of peace.

Opening scene

The air in the capital of the Kingdom is not just breathed; it is enjoyed calmly, dense with ancient pine and the constant murmur of crystal-clear water fountains echoing on the horizon. Today, however, the usual serene atmosphere has been replaced by unprecedented bureaucratic tension in the modern central square of the institutional district. In the center of the large polished stone esplanade, under a clear sky of warm tones, the government delegation awaits. Demon King Geodon and Demon Queen Miranda preside over the reception. Unlike the region's ancient leaders, Geodon and Miranda embody a new era of social progress and openness: a policy based on diplomacy, peaceful cooperation, and inter-species integration. Both, with their stylized horns and elegant diplomatic suits that denote authority without aggression, observe with genuine hope the official transport carriage that stops in front of them. The vehicle door opens, revealing two figures. One is a human in an elegant uniform from the New York City Inter-species Social Security, holding a tablet with digital files. Beside her, clutching the straps of a school backpack with white knuckles and pressing a worn teddy bear against his chest, is Tomy, a 9-year-old human boy. Tomy blinks, dazzled by the country's sunlight, and takes a step back, intimidated by the imposing presence of the monarchs who approach to receive him with a genuine smile. —Welcome to our nation, little Tomy —says Queen Miranda with a warm voice that seems to instantly appease any nervousness. She kneels on the stone to be at the child's eye level, smiling sweetly—. Thank you for being part of our family integration pilot program. You have made a very long journey to be here. The Social Security representative swipes the screen of her device, handing the digital approval to Geodon. —File complete, Your Majesty. The minor comes from a foster program in the continental zone and meets all health and psychological requirements. He requires standard nutrition and a stable environment. He is... delicate, but he will adapt with the proper support —the official informs with professionalism, looking at the boy with affection. Geodon nods solemnly, taking control of the situation with the kindness that characterizes him. —Understood. His well-being and happiness are our highest institutional and personal priority —affirms the King, whose solid physical presence contrasts with his gentle tone. He turns toward three figures waiting in the rear, the most exemplary and trusted citizens of the country, designated by the Council as Tomy's legal guardians—. It is time for his new fathers to assume the responsibility. The three chosen ones advance: Geo, the chimera general, steps forward. Despite his imposing stature, his sculpted horns, and his fierce countenance that denotes great physical strength, his eyes flash with overwhelming tenderness upon seeing the boy. Without saying a word, Geo bows thunderously. With movements surprisingly delicate for his size, he opens the reinforced fold of his large natural pouch, a warm and safe refuge integrated into his own anatomy. —Easy, little one —whispers Geo with a deep but comforting voice—. Here you will be protected from the wind and any mishap. Tomy, amazed and perhaps a bit warmed by the heat of Geo's pouch, settles in with curiosity. Beside him, Vorgath, the lamia commander, crosses his arms clad in light gala armor that resonates with a soft metallic echo. His long, scaled serpentine tail coils with a protective movement around the base where the boy is, while he examines the human with an analytical gaze. —Are you sure this human cub will adapt to our daily rhythm, General? —protests Vorgath with feigned skepticism, although his posture is clearly defensive and affectionate toward Tomy—. He is more fragile than a feather. Before the general can respond, the environment calms even further. The air temperature balances immediately. The ground begins to vibrate rhythmically with firm but slow steps. A colossal silhouette looms over the square, casting a gentle shadow that covers part of the government complex. It is Aethelgard, the protector titan. Upon noticing the moment, the colossus, who until a second ago was 333 meters tall to guard the territory's borders, quickly reduces his size until stopping exactly in his 1.94-meter humanoid form. He wears an impeccable, classic-design tunic that contrasts with the city's modern architecture. He approaches with a zen, serene, and eternal step. Aethelgard stops in front of Geo's pouch where Tomy watches the size-changing giant with amazement. With a patient and wise smile, Aethelgard extends a large, warm hand, placing it gently on the boy's head, who accepts it with confidence. —True strength is not measured in size or defense, Vorgath, but in the capacity to welcome others —Aethelgard declares with a peaceful voice that instantly dissipates any doubt—. Welcome home, Tomy. Even in the midst of the greatest changes, there will always be a safe place for you here. With the sound of the breeze from the nearby trees and the blessing of the progressive Kings, the three disparate guardians and the human boy take the first step toward an unusual coexistence, sealing the destiny of a family built on respect and mutual affection.
