A/N: Another update, I'm really finding a way to crank these out, I just have too many ideas on my mind. As always, if you have any suggestions, just tell me, and I'll see what I can do with them. This is also my excuse to put out my idea for Mist Mountain guardian lore.

PROMPT: Bedtime Story

It had been an incredibly long day. Tithi had wished to practice his beyblading skills by battling with Dynamis. Of course, Dynamis complied with Tithi's wish, not only battling with him, but also by giving him helpful pointers on how to draw out Quetzacoatl's power.

By the end of the day, Tithi was quite exhausted. So much so, that Dynamis had to practically carry him to bed. After Tithi was ready for bed, Dynamis took him and tucked him into bed, wishing him a good night. But, before he could blow out the candle, Tithi piped up.

"Dynamis...?"

The temple guardian turned around to see the younger blader up on his arm, using the other to rub his eyes sleepily.

"Yes?" Dynamis walked back over to the bed and sat down next to him.

"Can you tell me a bedtime story?" Tithi yawned, resting his head on Dynamis' arm.

"Well, what kind of bedtime story?" The temple guardian was caught somewhat off guard by Tithi's request, but started to think of ones he could possibly use.

"Oh, do you know the guardians, like you, found the mountain?" Tithi asked drowsily, almost falling asleep on Dynamis. The Jupiter Blade smiled, rubbing Tithi's back comfortingly.

"I do, it's one of my favorites."

"A very long time ago, long before Nemesis ever threatened the earth, there was a man-."

"Wait, you've been protecting this mountain before the temple was here? Didn't King Zeus give his right hand man the temple?" Tithi was a little shocked, to say the least.

Dynamis chuckled, "Yes, we've been guarding this mountain long before King Zeus was around. Now, where was I...There was a man who wandered to earth. No one knew where he came from. Whether he was an exile, a nomad, or a king of a distant land, no one knew. All he had was his knowledge of the stars, and his Beyblade, which was said to contain a god of lightning.

It was said that he was wandering the planet because he was searching for a purpose to his life. At one point in time, he came across a village that lived close to the base of Mist Mountain. He asked them about them mountain, because no one had gone there and come back alive.

"That's not very nice of them to just go and crush his dreams like that." Tithi piped up.

"True, but there was one person who encouraged him. The wise, village shaman spoke to him, and told him that he should scale the mountain. It would be a trial for him but, he would reap great reward, if he did complete the task."

"What did he do then?"

"Well, he went to conquer the mountain. No on knows how long he was gone for, some say a few weeks, some say a few months. What we do know, is that by the time his journey coming to a close, he was low on supplies, and was exhausted. Eventually he reached the place where the temple stands today. It was dark, and he had only the stars and to comfort him. Then, something miraculous happened."

"What was it?" Tithi gasped.

"A bright light enveloped him and shone around him. He was forced to the ground and was nearly blinded. A voice thundered from the sky, congratulating him on reaching on reaching the top of the mountain. No one had ever made it as far as he had, let alone reach the top. The light that came from the heavens blessed him and his future descendants with great power. However, they would have to guard Mist Mountain for as long as his bloodline lived, But, the mountain would provide all that they needed to live. And, his name, and the names of all his descendants would be great.

"He had quite a story to tell when he came back. Some villagers believed him, some didn't but, the shaman was proud of him, telling him he had done well."

"Very little was known about him from then on, after he returned to Mist Mountain. Some say his wife was from the village, others say she wasn't. Those details don't matter. What does, is that the line of temple guardians still live on today."

"Tithi?"

Dynamis had become rather engrossed in his storytelling. So much so, that he had only just noticed that Tithi had fallen asleep on him. The young blader dozed peacefully on his shoulder, occasionally nuzzled Dynamis' arm.

Smiling, Dynamis gently moved Tithi so that he was laying down. After pulling the covers over him, Dynamis went and blew out the candle, making his way to his own bed.
