I basically got the idea for this story and couldn't resist. Don't ask where it will go, it was basically written on a whim.
Godzilla is © Toho.

SOUL OF A MONSTER
THE CHILD
It was Fifteen Years Ago.
Fifteen years ago, the great beast known as Godzilla disappeared.
Once, his path of destruction could be tracked from miles above the Earth.
Then one day, nothing.
The King of the Monsters vanished from the face of the Earth.
Some say he was tamed.
Others say he died.
Whatever the cause, there has been no sign of him since that day.
Then, only days after he vanished, something else happened.
In a small hospital in Tokyo, a young boy was born. At the time of his birth, he seemed like an ordinary child.
But there was something about this boy that was different… something that began to show months after his birth.
His eyes.
They were not human eyes.
The eyes were a deep, flaming orange, seeming to burn with every glance the boy made. It was as if a fierce fire constantly blazed within him. The thin irises were dark black, giving the impression that his pupils were much larger than they were.
Nothing could seem to explain this… or the other things that happened.
Or just how quick to anger the boy was and, by his early teens, how fearsome he was.
The day the boy was targeted by a bully at the age of 12, his rage showed. He won the fight in seconds, showing inhuman power and ferocity.
That day, the beast within him stirred for the first time…

I am fully aware of how short that was. It was basically just an intro to the story. Next up: A proper chapter.
