Chapter 1: The Unbelievable Truth

It's amazing how much a simple thing like time can do to many people. Four years have passed since the defeat of both Lord Brevon and Merga and those years have been wonderful on Avalice. Nothing but pure peace was bestowed upon the planet and the Kingdom Stone is permanently safe from any more danger. Within every city of this gorgeous planet, something good has come out from that result:

For Shang Mu: Mayor Zao was still as cocky and overconfident as ever, but his royalty has skyrocketed to the max this time around and even brand new citizens that are just getting to know him are quickly growing more and more fond of him each and every day, even if he constantly brags how much bigger his city is compared to Shang Tu. That kind of behavior could become the very source of a potential downfall of his rule, but for now, it's not even close, even for himself.

For Shang Tu: The majestic white and blue city has remained as quiet and peaceful as its always been since before the attacks started and after they ended. Within the palace, the Magister continues to watch the hustle and bustle of it from his throne room with elegance. He thinks about the welfare of his friends every now and then and he hasn't shivered with burden since. He does feel terrible about how bad he treated Lilac, Carol, and Milla when he first suspected them of causing the war that Brevon had wrought years ago, but when it all became clear and apologized, he was mentally happy to have been forgiven so quickly. Neera Li also watched with the Magister while the rest of the guards were on their usual duty and she too felt shame from the additional maltreatment of Lilac and her friends. That's why she's now a part of their team and proud of it. As for General Gong on the other side of the throne room door, he was just happy for the ladies, especially since he's heard that Lilac and Carol are much more than friends now. He's shared this news with pretty much everyone else, except Mayor Zao on account of the the fact that he's got the biggest mouth and would even tell the entire universe of this newfound relationship. Doing so would embarrass the heroines, including Carol's sister, Corazon.

For Shuigang: King Dail couldn't be more comfortable sitting in his late father's throne. It was silent and it gave him so much time to think about what happened, what he's been through, and how he's been treating his brother, Spade, since he regained his mind and spirit after Brevon's demise. At that thought, he kept a frown, despite being at peace. Due to how vindictive he was under the warlord's spell, he realized that the emotional scars upon Spade have become permanent and, as a result, the two brothers have literally avoided any kind of contact towards each other. They haven't spoken to each other in four years and Dail just felt awful about it. Spade, on the other hand, actually felt relieved to be away from his brother for so long. He knew he was sane enough to try to make peace and become a repaired family again, but without their father, it was deemed impossible. So, he decided to just live alone in Shang Tu instead. He wanted to live as far away from Dail as possible and keep it that way, no matter what happens.

As for Lilac's treehouse within the Dragon Valley, it had a major upgrade during the four years after Merga's death. It was no longer a single story floor treehouse and it was no longer on an actual tree. It became a typical Cape Cod kind of house with a second floor that consisted of three bedrooms plus two full baths, a full kitchen with smart appliances, a living room with a luxurious sectional and a loveseat adjacent to its left, an 85-inch TV hanging on a wooden wall before them with a console full of movies, video games, a Blu-ray player, and three game consoles right below it, and a beautiful dragon designed area rug in between them. To top it all off, they even had a backyard that was as big as half of a typical football field complete with a freshwater lake and a waterfall on the other side. Overall, it was beautiful set-up that still had its classic charm the former treehouse once had.

Within the house, Torque had just made his way downstairs on this beautiful Saturday morning with a yawn as he made his way towards the kitchen to begin cooking breakfast for the entire household. As he did so, he kept a smile on his face the entire time. By the time he tapped on the touchscreen of the fridge to see what was available, his thoughts were first focused on the whole experience with the ladies during Brevon's reign. He just couldn't believe it all. He knew that throughout the mission, all four of them had an even 50-50 chance of dying. Miraculously, he saw that the three ladies had extraordinary powers and abilities that even his own kind couldn't muster. He was even more inspired by Lilac's wisdom, bravery, and indomitable will to keep it going, despite the downward spiral it was heading towards at the time. As soon as he started up the stove with three frying pans heating up, he closed his eyes as he began to think about that one horrifying moment when he had to watch the water dragon get shocked to near-fatal results twice. That moment alone is what really made his mind partially give up the whole mission, but fortunately, it was all well said and done from there. Overall, he was pleased with the outcome and decided to live with the ladies permanently as a way of saying thanks for everything.

With that in mind, he was just about to call for Milla, but the adorable teenage basset hound had just made her way to the kitchen right on time to see what was smelling so good. The green alien didn't make eye contact, but he struck up a conversation anyway.

"Morning, Milla." Torque started in his handsome voice. Milla's smile grew as she saw what was cooking. "Someone had a good night's sleep last night."

"Yeah!" The hound started. "I slept like a puppy."

"Which is not what you are anymore, if I remember correctly." The two chuckled simultaneously after that was said and the dog decided to assist the alien in the cooking. Milla was indeed not a puppy anymore. Finally being an 18-year-old meant that she could finally do what she's always wanted to do and she declared it with confidence as she started cooking the bacon:

"I can finally watch R-rated movies by myself! YAY!"

"Heh-heh! Is that all you're anxious to do now that you're mature?"

"Yep! I've always been getting kicked out of movie nights because I was too young for the past four years, but now, yippee! I can't wait! I just… don't want it to be a horror movie. I wanna see something with people swearing like sailors, lots of action violence, crude humor, and maybe a little bit of sex… juuuuust a little."

"A little?! Are you sure? It practically happens next to you on the nightly."

"Yeech! Don't even bring that up. I'm gonna lose my appetite before we even serve our breakfast." That got the two laughing once again after that last word. Milla then focused on her handiwork as she trailed away in deep thought about what she and Torque mentioned. The three heroines do still share the same room together, but just last year, Lilac and Carol officially declared that they had deeper feelings for each other. So much so, that by the time Lilac did turn 21 early last year, the maturity of a dragon was discovered to be much stronger compared to a cat or a dog in terms of one's libido. "Well, now that you mentioned it…"

"Yeah?"

"It… has been rather nice to see them that way since that Halloween night on that same year Lilac had just turned 21. She's an adult now and Carol's nearly there, but that doesn't seem to be a problem."

"Apparently. What did happen that night since we couldn't be at wherever they were?"

"It's a long story, Torque. I'd rather have them explain it during our meal."

"Oh, okay. That's fine." The two had just finished their respective dishes of scrambled eggs and bacon and placed them to the side for a moment as the alien began on the pancakes while Milla had just placed some biscuits in the oven and set the timer for 15 minutes. She stood next to Torque afterwards as she continued.

"I can tell you this, though: Whatever happened that night… made a lasting impression towards all of us by the time they came home and showed major rounds of PDA all over Avalice the next day. Half the time the citizens weren't even fazed."

"Huh! I need to see this later. Speaking of them, can you go and wake them up, if they're not awake already? As soon as these pancakes and biscuits are ready, we'll be ready to feast in the living room today. I feel like watching TV this time."

"Sure! Be right back!" Milla happily made her way back upstairs towards her, Carol, and Lilac's room, but was surprised to see Corazon already at the closed door with an ear to it. The teenage hound shook her head with humor as she casually continued towards the same door. "Cory, what are you doing?"

"Shh!" Carol's older sister replied as she tried to hear something. "I know they're at it again. I can hear it."

"Why are you invading their passionate time like this? You know it means so much to them now… more than ever!"

"I know, but-"

"Then, stop it! Leave them alone! Besides, Torque and I had just finished cooking breakfast. We're having it in the living room this time. We're having a TV breakfast."

"About time! See ya downstairs, then." The taller cat reluctantly made her way downstairs just in time to see Torque set up the roll-out coffee table over the area rug and decided to help him out.

Back upstairs, Milla's curiosity never outgrew her as she quietly made her way to her room door and she was astounded to feel that it was unlocked when she tested out the knob. With that in mind, she slowly and quietly cracked opened the door just enough to peek in with one eye and smiled with admiration at what she saw on the now full-size bunk bed on the bottom bunk:

Lilac and Carol were fully dressed in their traditional outfits, but were engaged in a seemingly violent, tongue wrestling frenzy of a passionate kiss with the beautiful purple dragon overtop of her green wildcat girlfriend. Their hands were roaming all over their bodies, especially having Carol's fingerless gloved hands giving gentle strokes on Lilac's exposed arms and playing with her tail and tendrils every few moments. All in all, it felt heavenly towards the two of them and Milla just couldn't disturb them, but since she took two more quick sniffs of the breakfast feast three minutes after watching the pair, she had to do what she had to do:

She softly knocked on the door three times, which made the two slowly end their sexy kiss of epic proportions before Lilac sat up and adjusted her signature blue unitard.

"Sorry to disturb you two, but Torque's got breakfast ready in the living room." The hound stated as she walked into the room. "You two did look so cute kissing like that."

"Well, we were gonna do it without our clothes on, but Miss Heropants here wanted to keep it casual this morning." Carol playfully complained as she stood up and stretched, adjusting her black tank top afterwards. Lilac kept her smile that said 'Damn straight' as she spoke.

"You know I perform best at night naked, Carol." Lilac reassured. "Remember? Our first time? Halloween night?"

"Yeah, yeah, I remember. You were… TOO good that night for your first time. I had no idea, but I enjoyed it, baby. Truly." The two shared one more quick kiss on the lips after that last word. "C'mon, let's go eat. I'm starving!" The couple held hands as they walked downstairs together, leaving Milla behind for just a few seconds. She had to admire them first before eventually making her way down behind them. She truly didn't mind this relationship at all.

Several minutes later, in the living room…

With Milla and Torque sitting in the loveseat and Corazon, Carol, and Lilac sitting at the sectional, they were all enjoying their own platters of a stack of three pancakes, scrambled eggs, three strips of bacon, and a biscuit as they were watching the news on TV, just to catch up on what's been happening all over the rest of Avalice. So far, it's been a quiet, peaceful feast for the five, even if there was rain in the forecast on TV. During that time, Lilac decided to get a little playful with her meal and dip a forkful of her pancakes into Carol's syrup-smothered plate, making her exclaim:

"HEY! You sneaky dragon!" It was all in a playful manner as the water dragon coyly giggled as she took in that same bite slowly, seducing the wildcat with a wink at the end. "Oh, you owe me tonight, bitch!"

This little event got everyone else lightly chuckling along as they continued to eat in peace for the next five minutes. By the time the commercials started, Torque finally gathered the courage to ask the two lovers:

"You never told us what happened between you two on Halloween that brought this compassion up. Care to share it now while we got the chance?" Corazon muted the TV as she gave her younger sister the glare of confession while Milla was ready to hear it with a sweet smile on her face as well. Lilac and Carol looked at each other for a few seconds before the purple dragon volunteered to explain.

"Well, it happened almost instantly." Lilac replied. "Carol and I went to a costume party in Shang Mu that Mayor Zao was hosting. We were dressed in pretty skintight costumes and our mature figures were really showing. When we went to the ladies' room to do our business, that's when it came into focus while we were alone together."

"Yeah." Carol agreed. "I saw how beautiful Lilac became: Her hair is much longer, she's got a pair of knockers that are nearly at the D mark… I mean, her whole body is like she's the goddess of all the dragons! Her hair's in a topknot right now, but let loose and it's all the way down to her calves, just slightly longer than her tendrils. Right now, it's at that nice, firm ass of hers. After seeing all of those details on her and after she confessed how much she really loves me, it dawned on me as well. I started having passionate feelings for my best friend, which I thought was pretty weird at first."

"But then, I proved that it wasn't so bad by sharing a small kiss on the lips first. A simple peck… but I was shocked to hear from Carol that it wasn't enough. So, I dared myself and slithered my tongue into her mouth the second time. That's when our primal instincts took over like we were hungry beasts. We nearly had sex right then in the bathroom!"

"Whoa…" Corazon muttered with shock. Torque and Milla just smiled from ear-to-ear as they paid very close attention. "…is that what happened in there? You two came out of there like it never happened."

"Exactly!" Both Lilac and Carol exclaimed together before Carol continued alone: "We knew if that we were to share what happened right then, Mayor Zao would've had everyone losing their dinners like they had already drank waaaaay too much booze. Ya know what I mean?" Everyone nodded, except Lilac. "So, we had to keep it a secret until the party was over."

"Before that, though, I had won the costume contest and a brand new car was the grand prize." Lilac continued. "We used it to drive back home, but we never left the car. Our passionate fire burned between our legs and… well… you know the rest."

"Huh! Enough said." Torque agreed. "No wonder you two slept well into lunchtime the day after and you were still in the car!"

"Heh… yep. That about sums it all up." Carol nervously replied before Lilac suddenly shushed everyone before she frantically grabbed the remote and unmuted it just in time to see a breaking news report. Everyone paid attention as the well-dressed male snow leopard spoke on the high-definition screen:

"This is Xavier Mountane with a breaking news bulletin. We've just received word from several witnesses that another water dragon is living among us and it's not Merga or anyone related to the evil dragon. This male half-water, half-ice dragon has been discovered working at a sports bar in downtown Shang Tu and he vaguely resembles one of our fellow heroines, Sash Lilac. Take a good look at this nearly clear picture cell phone picture of him from one of the witnesses."

He paused as they showed a picture of a decently muscular male dragon that appeared to be at a height of 6 feet and 2 inches with sea green skin, algae green hair that appeared to stop between his neck and the middle of his back, green eyes that were in a dark shade of the color in the pupils and light green in the irises, fully developed fin-like ears, a blue nose, a similar blue sleeveless unitard with pants on the lower half instead of shorts that showed his impressive pecs and abs with a yellow collar, ice blue wavy stripes down his arms, matching blue fingerless gloves, and the feature that flummoxed Lilac the most was the pair of purple tendrils down his back that stopped at just below his knees. Everyone else within the living room was shocked to see such a creature as Xavier's voice continued off-camera:

"As you can see, on the skin and hair colorings alone, he doesn't seem to be related to Lilac, but thanks to the same dark purple tendrils we see underneath his hair, it's safe to say that she is indeed not alone anymore. Because of that feature on him, those same witnesses are claiming he could possibly be what would be deemed impossible for most to believe: Lilac's… biological… brother! I kid you not, everyone! He's even introduced himself as Poseidon Lilac. That last name says it all. So, Sash Lilac, if you're watching this, this is indeed your blood-related brother. This is NOT an allegation! You have a family and I would catch up, if I were you."

CLICK!

"…Lilac?" Milla asked slowly with apprehension as the dragon stared at the now black TV screen with her most evil glare of savagery for approximately fifteen seconds before she abruptly got up out of her seat with anger with her empty plate in her bare hands, stormed towards the kitchen, and violently placed that same ceramic plate into the empty sink, causing it to shatter to pieces before she tearfully ran upstairs and everyone heard a door slam its hardest and loudest since the renovations, making everyone twitch with fright for just a few milliseconds. Afterwards, they looked amongst each other with bewilderment for a brief moment before Carol and Milla were the only ones who were brave enough to face the now disgruntled dragon and see what can be said from her. Corazon silently volunteered to bring the other finished plates to the kitchen and clean up the mess while Torque reluctantly went upstairs as well just to spectate the fateful conversation between the three women.

Moments later, at the heroine's bedroom door…

"Lilac?" Carol called as she knocked on the door twice with Milla right beside her with utmost concern written all in her emerald green eyes. The cat had tried to open the door, but to no avail. It was locked. "Lilac, are you okay?"

"Leave me alone!" Lilac screamed from the other side with a cracked voice. "I don't wanna talk about it!"

"That was your brother, though! I never knew you had any siblings at all!" Milla exclaimed with excitement. "We'd thought you'd be happy!"

"I SAID I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!"

"But, Lilac…"

"Why not?" Carol demanded with authority in her usually comedic voice. "I've got my sister and we peacefully reunited with no issues. Why can't you do the same with Poseidon?!" Immediately after that last word, Lilac opened the door fast, showing that she had immense tears soaking her face, bloodshot eyes from those same tears, and a look of extreme vehemence.

"Because I don't know him, Carol! That's why! He's a total stranger like everyone else that didn't save the world twice and literally risked life and limb in the process. Therefore, we… don't… need… to talk about him." She got in her lover's face after the third word with her darkest glare, making Carol stand back with her hands up in surrender.

"Okay, okay… damn. Why are you so hostile towards your own flesh and blood?"

"Carol! He's not! Okay? He may have my last name, but that doesn't mean anything. I'm hoping it's just a coincidence." Both of the girls had their mouths open, ready to protest once more, but Lilac turned on them and slammed the door in their faces, hearing it lock afterwards. "Now, LEAVE… ME… ALONE!"

"Awww, poor Lilac." Milla sighed with sadness. "She should be lucky to have any kind of family at all, especially since I still have my parents out there somewhere and you've got your big sister with us."

"Hey, it's the lifetime of no contact. It can fuck up a dragon, apparently. I guess they have a strict family policy that should be against the law to break or something." Carol pointed out matter-of-factly as she and her basset hound friend turned towards Torque, who showed concern in his eyes. The wildcat pointed a thumb at the door as she continued: "Did you see and hear what just happened?"

"The whole thing." Torque replied with honesty. "Astonishingly, I'm not surprised to see Lilac react this way after just seeing someone that may or may not be her biological brother."

"Humph! I am!" The wildcat crossed her arms with annoyance.

"Me, too." Milla agreed. "Why is she acting like this?"

"Only Poseidon knows at this rate, since Lilac refuses to give us the details. He'll… have to find us instead of us finding him, though. It's for our own safety."

"I guess." The two ladies muttered with sadness as they all went back downstairs to enjoy the rest of this rainy day.

As for Lilac, she continued to cry within a pillow with agonizing pain just shooting through her heart in the same exact way as when she was tortured by Brevon within the thermal base in Shuigang. She just couldn't believe what she had just seen on TV during, what was supposed to be, a peaceful breakfast. All throughout her life… before, during, and after the Red Scarves… she always proclaimed herself as the last of her kind on Avalice, but now, that entire theory has been thrown out the window. She had wasted her breath all these years and, now since that's the case, she had only one question in mind about this newfound brother of hers:

"If this is true, then where the fuck has he been all this time?!"

She got up from the bed and looked out her window towards the lake and waterfall in deep thought after she asked herself that question. After five silent minutes, she welled up in even more tears before she roared like the true dragon she is on the outside, but within her mind, she had this to say with agony:

He's not my brother. He can't be. He wasn't there for me all these years. All that time with the Red Scarves, Brevon, and Merga, he could've stepped in to help me out, but he never did. That's no brother of mine! THAT'S A FUCKING TRAITOR! I HATE YOU!

To be continued…
