Chapter 20: Of old Fetishes and Memories.
Meanwhile with Red and Elh, Red´s Pov:
"It´s so sexy when the water rains down on you, my darling!" Elh purred while leaning on me, as we stood in the shower together.
The heat made us doing things we otherwise would be too embarrassed to even consider, but right now our horniness was almost unable to be suppressed anymore, all I wanted right now was to touch her.
"You are definitely talking about yourself, am I right…, for I don´t see anyone more sexy than you!" I stated as I squeezed her butt lightly, while she squeaked.
"Red, d-don´t you think the other will hear us?" she stammered while her face was flushed red.
"Behind an Iron door, a long corridor and another iron door, I bet not, but if you are afraid, then just try to moan quietly…, that would be…, if you can!" I stated as I took one of her nipple between my lips and sucked on it strongly.
"NNNYYYYAAAAHHH!" Elh moaned in bliss.
"Well aren´t you but a loud one, what was that about being quiet, again?!" I snickered and she only glared at me in embarrassment.
"Stop talking dumb and make me feel good already…, geez I really need to learn the magic bubble spell, which conceals all traces of someone´s presence.
You can make as much noise as possible and no one hears you, as long as the spell is activated!" Elh stated thinking.
"Hmm, I don´t really know all that much about magic, but that would be seriously one heck of a helpful and tempting spell then.
Especially since I intent to make you shouting my name up to the moon again!" I explained and she blushed deep red, as I gently caressed the base of her tail.
"You´ve got to learn it quick, my kitten!" I whispered in her ears, gently blowing inside before nibbling on one of them.
"Nyyyyaaaahhh Red!" Elh moaned.
"I will show you how dirty I can be tonight, my sweetheart…, may I…..?!" I asked but was interrupted.
"I-I´m sorry red, but the mating season is still not over…., I know how much you want it…, but I want it to be really honest, out of love and neither just lust nor hormone-ridden.
I know I can trust you…, but we agreed that we would doing it after the mating season is over, which is in one week from now, one week….., afterwards I am ready, I just need that time…., i´m sorry okay!" Elh explained.
"No need to be sorry, I understand it, still that doesn´t mean I can't feel your insides…, after all, you have more than one entrance, am I right!" I stated with a glimmer of lust and she squeaked in shock.
"Wait you mean….., you mean…., ana….!" She stammered.
"Say no more honey…., just feel it!" I stated with a wink.
"But it´s dirty there?!" She stated.
"Nothing on you is dirty, you are the purest Felineko I ever have seen before!" I explained harshly.
"Wait a second….., how many Felinekos have you ever seen naked?!" Elh suddenly asked with a deadpanned and empty eyed expression.
"Let me think, I think we were 3 Caninus, 4 together with Chocolat and 5 Felinekos from which 2 were females, so, all in all I have seen around 4 naked bodies of girls, on every bathe-day which I was forced to participate in!" I explained, but she only looked confused.
"Geez Elh I haven't seen a girl´s naked body since my days in the Orphanage, until I was 14 and began to work as a Hunter, and then there was that one time with Chocolat, otherwise I only saw you naked in the shower twice, before yesterday!" I explained to her better.
I almost could see how her entire body relaxed from the sudden tension.
"Oh I see!" She said as she finally understood.
"They were like only 5 to 10 years old, so they weren´t any developed, and as I said I didn´t really liked to take baths with so many people, alone or but only with Chocolat would have been enough for me!" I explained
"Well if it were only kids, everything´s fine I guess…, I just thought you might have had a lecherous phase as a child and went to watch the women in the open air baths!" Elh stated with a sigh and I had to laugh out loud, I slid down the wall of the shower to the warm and wet ground.
"Well I never did that, although I was often asked from my comrades in the Orphanage back then….., it was not that I personally really wanted to see a naked woman´s body, but I was also not adverse to admire one, if it would have appeared before me…, at least I guess I wouldn´t, I mean I am but also just a man after all!" I explained.
"So if…, if Opera or even Merveille would walk in front of you naked….?!" Elh asked with a new sudden shock, as she towered above me.
"Sorry…, but I guess I would stare and probably get aroused, even if I would know that one of them is actually my mother…., however, it´s only a natural reaction, it´s not that I personally would feel that much about seeing them naked.
Men are aroused by naked women, it´s science and every men who isn´t getting aroused by that, is plain gay!" I stated with outmost conviction.
"I see…, say Red do you…, you know…, do you like Opera…, what exactly do you think about her?!" Elh asked after a while, as she sat herself in my lap, of course fully naked, it was a bittersweet temptation.
Especially the way her tail moved.
I was tossed and torn by my want to mate and my own personal morale….., but hell I wanted to penetrate into that petite body of hers, I wanted to make her feel good with my meat-stick.
"I want to get knotted inside of you!" I whispered hoarsely, as my erection went as hard as a rock right under her butt.
"Red I asked a serious question here!" Elh hissed at me.
"Wait a second are you seriously trying to kill the mood here, weren´t we shortly before doing it?!" I asked her.
"Just tell me, I need to know?!" She asked with droplets of tears in her eyes.
"Geez okay, okay…., geeez what a drag.
Anyways, if you ask me, if I like her in a romantically way I would clearly say no…., as nice as she is she also just as annoying at times!
If you however ask me, if her physical appearance is appealing to me, I have to say yes to my shame…..!" I admitted in defeat.
"So you do like them big?!" She stated, as she looked at her modest chest and I felt worse.
"I´m not adverse against Big boobs but as I said before, I like the challenge to make yours even bigger than hers and for that I will throughout kneed them every day!" I stated, as I was about to touch them.
"But in the end you like them big don´t you!" Elh asked, the droplets getting bigger.
"Aaaarggh Elh, why did you have to go there…, I mean sure she is quite beautiful and nice, you cannot deny that…, at least if you avoid to look at her, sometimes quite obnoxious, attitude, but otherwise there is just nothing that turns me on by her.
To me she is quite a sister-in-arms, if I may say so…., I don´t particularly like Opera…., however I also don´t dislike her….., she´s an average friend I guess.
And yet, if she were to ever be in trouble…., just like she´s now, I would always do my most possible to get her out of there, if no one else can.
I wouldn´t left her suffering, that´s for sure…, I don´t know but sometimes I feel that all of her every day attitude is but only a cover-up of her true feelings, as if it is a shield to hide her vulnerable core.
That's how I see and feel about Opera, that and nothing more, nothing less!" I explained and she slowly nodded, wiped away the tears.
"I see…., and how do you feel about me?!" Elh asked.
"I love you, I love the way you sometimes look at me, all flustered or in wonderment, when I surprise you.
I love it when you blush and when you are fidgeting to tell your feelings, it makes you quite cute.
I love to see you in a dress and I love to see you naked….., I also really love to see you smile Elh, that´s why I will do my very best to always make you smile, rather when cry, even if I don´t always be able to keep you from it.
Still, you have suffered for so long and I am the one to end this suffering and for that I will stay at your side for the rest of my life.
I will do anything for you, not to ever feel lonely again!" I explained and she gasped.
"I want to someday marry you and take you as my wife Elh!" I explained.
"Reeeeed!" She cried, as she embraced me.
"Geez…, why are you crying now…., you really don´t go easy on me though!" I stated, as I felt how my dick poked her belly and the want to stick it in became stronger.
"Well…, it is my fault, so let me calm you!" She stated as she slid with her tongue over my body down to my lap.
"Oh Elh!" I moaned as I felt her.
"Let me return the favour!" I said and she nodded.
I laid down and she crawled backwards over me, until her hips were right above me.
"It is so beautiful, so pink and hot!" I whispered, as I touched it extensively.
"Aaaaaahhh…, Reeeed, d-don't do that or else I will….!"
"That's the deal here sweetheart, that´s why I am doing it in the first place…, for you to cum and explode in bliss and arousal.
Well then bon appetite!" I stated, as I began to eat my meal for tonight, with bliss and a beaming smile, while being pleasured, with moans, squeaks, kisses and licks.
"69 in the shower is the best!" I thought in a massive arousal, while eating my sweetheart out.
"Let´s go all out Elh, I won´t let you sleep so soon!" I stated.
"All out…, but you cant….?!"
"No fear I hold my promise, you are the one to tell me when I can turn you into a woman and deflower you!" I explained to her.
"Sigh, seriously, when will you ever learn to be blunter about these things?" She stated embarrassed.
"And ran into the danger to be disappointed, you know how I roll Elh…!"
"Yeah and I wouldn´t want you any other way!" She stated, as she kissed me after she turned around and hugged me.
"Let´s feel good tonight!" We said unison.
Some hours later:
After our love filled shower, we quickly dressed in our pajamas and were about to go to sleep.
"Umm, I guess I will sleep next to you tonight!" I stated as I knocked at Elh´s room.
"Why so…, not that I mind of course?!" She asked while blushing.
"My Bed seems to be occupied by a prince!" I explained.
"Oh I see…, well then please come on in!" She said and I did just that.
"Thanks honey, I promise, I will try to tone down my snoring as much as possible!" I replied.
"Thanks a lot…, although it does not really bother me that much…, to be honest it is quite comforting, you see I was alone for so long, before I met you, also at night.
There was just never a soul I would have spent the night together, not in a sexual way, I mean in terms of just not being alone at night, the whole time!" Elh stated.
"I Know what you mean, ever since that night, Chocolat made sure to never sleep near me again, it was quite lonely thought, I mean we always had been so close.
But then, from one day to another, that closeness was gone…, it frightened me but I never said something to it, I knew that she needed her privacy, to that time even more than before in the orphanage!" I explained.
"I see…, say how you and Chocolat were back then, I don't think I actually ever asked you, about your time in the Orphanage, have I?!" Elh asked.
"No you haven´t, well there is not much to tell thought, but if you really want to know…!" And so I told her about my childhood and everything which I could remember ever since I arrived in the Orphanage.
Over short or long we fell asleep, which means that but only one of us really slept.
I tossed and turned myself in the bed, probably, I wouldn´t know since I was asleep, maybe I even spoke, since I was knee-deep in a nightmare, at least so it seemed to me for these pictures I saw weren´t really comfortable ones, and they didn´t let me awake either.
The dream I dreamt, started to confuse me while it run of like a movie on a canvas, however the more I saw , the more I was afraid of what might come today, and as the one person I longed to see, faded away, I was heartbroken.
In this moment I woke up with a startled yelp, and thus I knew my day was fucked up already.
This Dream started weird, became weirder and ended with a massive Headache due to too much information at once, or perhaps because of the fact that I fell out of my bed, face forward on the floor.
All of this, what I witnessed in this dream, seemed more like memories of past times, than a real nightmare though.
It were memories of times I usually couldn´t remember, so why now, why did I suddenly managed to remember things which lied further away than 11 years…?
Was it because of Quynne's words, I remember that he said he had unlocked my memories and that we would meet in my dreams, but I thought he was just joking around.
Was it but real, did I really remember all of this, because he gave them to me?
Were these memories really a gift from my Father by blood, I always thought Baion was my Father, however I didn´t liked the idea that the one person I would call my father, used to kill and even tried to destroy our world.
But if there has been another one, one I could be more comfortable with, one who didn´t disappointed me by now, was I then allowed to rather call that person Dad?
"Could I bring myself, to someday greet Quynne with the words, `Good morning Dad´?" I asked myself, while I thought about the dream I just had.
Flashback:
Darkness, it seemed as if I stand in nothing, only black Darkness, where I was at the moment, there seemed to be no light.
"Where am I?" I asked, as I looked around, but as I assumed, there was no one who answered me.
"Why am I here, is there anybody who can tell me!?" I tried again, but I still got no answer.
Everything is so dark and cold here, so empty, as if every thing that ever was, had vanished.
"Am I dead?" I asked myself.
"What about Chocolat and Elh are they alright?!" I thought in horror.
Suddenly I heard the sound of a drop of water crashing on another liquid surface.
"What is this, where does it came from!" I asked, as I heard it again.
"Is,….., defect,…., don´t need him,….., worthless…., a failure remains a failure….., get rid of him!" Suddenly I heard a voice saying things, but I could not fully understand what was spoken, only some words of a fragmented dialogue.
"Baion…., no…, please,…., two years,…. Show you…., that he´s no failure…., worth it…, success…., my son!" I heard again, this voice, this speech, was this Merveille?
"Good, we will see how worth he actually is, but I tell you it is without benefit to me, so the responsibility for him lies by you, I give you 2 Years, that´s the most I can allow a waste of space to remain!" I heard Baion´s harsh voice, was this the time of my creation?
"I won´t allow him to kill you…, you are my son…, the only one I really have some kind of motherly feelings for…!
I know, I am not fit to be a mother, and yet I will not see how he simply disposes of you, I have to make you strong, maybe you cannot become human, but if he sees how stronger you can become, he will let you live, I am sure of it!
….. Maybe if I analyse the blood of that man who entered this place…, he fought on par with Baion…, there is more to all of this I know it…!
Who were these two and what did they do in the laboratory…., why that man did broke in….?
What was with these files…., I guess I should take a look at it!" I heard Merveille's voice speaking, but I didn´t understood what she spoke off.
"What, W-w-what is this…, h-how can he do something like this…., is this really B-Baion!" I heard the shocked voice of Merveille, sad and horrified, a voice I have never heard on her.
"I must do something…, I wont allow him to execute his plan…., there must be something I can do…?
No matter what, I have to bring Red in safety…, but where…, it´s not as if I don´t know that he implanted a tracer inside of him, I cannot bring him to the house…., if I want to execute this plan, then I must dive under the surface, I must vanish without a trace.
I guess this leaves me no other choice, I have to track down these two and I must do it quickly…, maybe I can get the Hunter from before to do another job for me, how was he called again…, something with the Gale!" Merveille's voice stated and I felt how my vision became brighter.
I began to see things, I saw myself being hold in a water tank, I could see a Laboratory in front of the tank, and right before me stood no one else but the younger version of Merveille, perhaps as young as me right now, maybe even younger.
"No fear my son, I will not let him hurt you, he will not ever touch you anymore, I swear it to you, I will rescue you…, but it will be better if you forget about the wretched witch, which is your mother.
I did something unforgivable to you, I made you into a higher being for the price of the worst parentage you can ever imagine, I cursed you with these abilities.
Abilities for which you might get shunned, hated and avoided by others, they surely will call you a monster, if they ever were to be seen…., but still I hope that someday you can find real friends.
Friends who will stick together with you, even when they know your secret….., but as long as you remain here, you will never have a childhood so I must let you go.
I know I have never been a good mother to you..…., i´m so sorry my son…., i´m so sorry!" Merveille´s voice was incredibly pained and she had deep eye rings and tears in her puffy red eyes.
"My beloved Red, my greatest…., creation…., and my beloved Son…., this is where we shall say goodbye to each other!" She said as she looked at me, she came down and I felt her warm lips on my forehead.
"You will forget me eventually…, and yet…, if any possible, I wish I could remain…., somewhere in your heart…, that you don´t entirely forget me…, and that you maybe someday can call me your mother!" She stated with an incredible motherly look, I never saw her this way.
"Is this really the same Merveille…., is this really my mother?" I asked myself, while my heart stung painfully, before suddenly it was all dark around me again.
"What´s going on here?" I asked in my mind, as a new scene appeared but this time I seemed to be only a bystander, as I saw everything before me even my younger self.
"You two, you have to get him out of here, Baion wants to dispose of him….., I know I have no right to ask you anything…, even though I didn´t knew about it…., but this doesn´t makes me any less responsible I guess….!" Merveille stated towards some people, who towered over her, while my younger self lied in her lap.
"Why shall we even think about helping you…., YOU NEARLY KILLED US…., HOW DARE YOU TO CONTACT US AND DEMAND A FAVOUR OF US…, YOU RUINED CARMINE´S AND MY LIFE.., SO HOW DARE YOU!?" The woman which stood next to me, shouted in an enormous wrath.
"I know…, I know I have no right to ask you for anything Rose and Carmine, but I would not have done it, if I would have knew another way…, i´m planning on destroying this facility and everything which could aid Baion in his plans, I will stop him somehow, maybe I die too, maybe not…., I can never redo what he did to you, but I really need your help on this!
You are the only one I can entrust with Red´s safety…, that's why this is the only time I ask something of you, this is all you need to do for me…, if you but have any feelings for your brother…., after this, you won´t ever owe nor hear of me ever again!" Merveille explained to them…, they were somehow familiar to me, but I couldn´t quite put my finger on it.
"We will take him, but not because of you asking, or because of what else would happen to him in here…., we take him, because it is our will and the right thing to do!
He´s our brother as you said, he shall not have to go through the same that we had, this is the last time we will see each other again…., Woman…., don´t you ever try to contact us again!" The Man´s voice said with a growl.
It almost looked as if he was near jumping and strangle her and only an amazing patience, and a similar amazing self-control, prevented him from doing just that.
"You won´t ever again hear of me, I swear, I saw my faults and that I helped to create evil without really knowing anything at all…., all for the sake of my own greed for wisdom.
I should have known, that some things better remain hidden forever…, and that Baion betrayed me as well , all this time I thought I would do something good, but in reality I only helped to sow the seed of Calamity.
But now I know what I have to do, I will try to stop him, I try to bring an end to this farce, even if I have to die…., I will stop him Carmine!" I heard Merveille saying with outmost conviction.
"It´s though questionable if you actually even are able to do that, that guy destroyed Ragdoll, over 500 Paladins have perished in the flames which he brought and you think you can stop, less kill him, well you can try but I am sure you won't be able, there is but only one who probably can, our master, Lord Maranell!" The girl called Rose stated.
"And still I will try it!" Merveille stated stubbornly.
"It is my way to redeem for my sins, even if I can only stop him for a few years!" She explained.
"You know that we will never forgive you, what you did to us is unforgiveable….., but still, we have to thank you, for being able to let our brother have a chance to survive…., but I will never accept you as his mother!" Rose stated with fury in her eyes, I guess she has quite a bad temper.
"I know Rose, and I am grateful that we could find you in time, if he would have found you even a day later, Red would have probably died!" Merveille said, as she stroked over the head of my younger self.
"I am the worst mother one can think off, I never even really believed to become a good mother in the first place….., but still, I wanted to rescue him, I wanted him to have a future…!
Maybe I have created him so he has the power to accomplish great things someday…., something told me that he was someone rarely born on this world, artificially or naturally born doesn't matter there….
I felt that Red would become someone, who will have to fulfill a certain role in the future, a role which might decide something important for everyone, something which could change the world forever, maybe it´s because he is also his son…, in a way.
The son of a King, Red…, the Prince of the 10 Moons!" Merveille said and while she spoke I felt myself being dragged in the body of my younger self, I felt how something soft stroke over my head, and suddenly there was first everything dark before I began to see light, my younger self seemed to open his eyes.
"Oh he awakes!" Carmine´s voice said.
"Only once, only once I will look into his eyes again, to remember them if I shall survive!" Merveille said to me, as my sight focused on her, the glance she gave me had something incredibly motherly and sad.
I felt how I raised my hand upwards to her, she took it and squeezed it gently, before losing some tears.
"This here is for you, I made it myself…, I hope someday we can meet again…, perhaps in a better place and at a better time!" She stated, as she gave me a Locketwith a silver moon on the cover, she hung it around my neck, and opened it, inside was picture of her and me, as I still was a baby, perhaps before I was brought into the tank.
"I totally forgot about this locket, but I think it must be somewhere in the Asmodeus, if only I could remember where!" I thought to myself.
"I beg you, bring him as far away as you can, far away in safety, where he can live and grow in peace.
Where he becomes a fine and righteous man, who cares for others, who is kind and who always defends what he loves!" Merveille said.
"Of cause we will!" Rose and Carmine said, and I felt how I was picked up.
I looked at the persons and found a tall Caninu clad in a red coat and a large Red Hat, his eyes had something nice even though I was sure they also could look mercilessly at someone, it were eyes of someone who had seen much.
Next to him, holding me in her arms was a Human girl, with very pale-pink hairs, depending on how the light fell on it.
She was wrapped in bandages, wearing a long coat and a large hat, she looked with warm eyes on me.
"Does he understands us yet?" She asked Merveille.
"Yes, although he hasn´t really spoken much yet, he also can read, I thought him as much as I could in the short time span of one and a half year!" Merveille said.
"He never was let out of the Tank, when Baion was around, Baion hasn´t been all too careful with him, all Red was to him was a failure in his eyes, a failure and nothing else.
However the way I saw it, is Red a Masterpiece, a complete success of science, a Caninu, able to trance back and forth, and since He too is his father, Red might hold some more hidden forces within himself.
"Who knows Red could be a Manmade God, he could bear forces from which Baion has no knowledge, who knows maybe Red is but the only one who even can defeat Baion.
And still, he is but only a boy right now, and as such he also shall be raised, not as a messiah, not as a monster and especially not as a disposable experiment…!
I must admit that I made many mistakes in my life, but Red´s birth is perhaps the only thing I ever did right, being a mother for such a short time surely was an interesting experience…., I will miss it, but from now on my life will be dangerous.
I´m sure he will be tall and strong someday and he will be having friends and a girl he loves…, he will become a fine heir for your Lord, i´m sure of it!" Merveille said and once again ruffled my hair.
I looked shyly at her, hiding me behind the Human girl which eyes looked with sheer love at me, Merveille's eyes filled themselves with tears.
"Guess you understand the danger of being in my surrounding, and that I am not the right one to look up to…, you are smart, smarter than I thought!" Merveille whispered as he voice wet hoarse from crying.
"We should get out of here before Baion comes back, so it would be better to say goodbye now!" Carmine said.
"Would be better indeed!" Rose replied.
"This is the last time you will see Red….., do you want to tell him something, before we leave?" Rose asked Merveille, still she looked quite unwillingly.
"Yes…, I guess I should say something at least…., Red, maybe we will never see us again, maybe we will…, but whatever happens, you shall always know that you are someone really precious to me.
I love you…, you are my son and even if you will not remember me, you shall know that I always believe in you….,I feel a big fate awaiting you, for better or for worse I cannot tell…., so live your life as you want…!
Sure, life will not always be easy, but as long as you have friends who support you, you will know what is worth fighting for!
You are my son…, and as such I give you into the hands of a better future…, I believe that someday we will meet again….!
Farewell my Son, live with all your heart!" Mother said with a heartbreakingly voice, she looked at me, before she took me in her arms.
"I´m sorry for what I did to you, I hope you will never have to use it…., and even if you do, don´t forget who your friends are and who always stood at your side, don´t let the Order poison your heart!" She said, before she kissed my forehead.
"Mommy!" I said and I saw how she looked in shock, with true tears at me, before a sorrowful smile emerged her lips.
"Now go…., go before it is too late!" She said, directed to the others.
"We will, our Lord, Red´s blood-father, Maranell Wolvenra awaits us!" Both said before they turned around, Rose picked me up and so we were about to go away.
"Mommy…, I don´t want to go, I want to stay with Mommy!" My younger self shouted, as I wanted to go to her, but the girl held me.
"No Red, you must go with them, into a better future, you are no longer safe in here!" Merveille said, shaking her head.
"Mommy, Mommy, I don´t want to go, I want to stay with Mommy!" I shouted with outstretched arms, I saw how more tears fell out of Merveille´s eyes and how her fists clenched and her teeth gritted.
"GO MY SON…., GO AND NEVER COME BACK HERE!" She yelled with tears and a pained voice.
I felt how all the blood left my face, I felt how my eyes watered, I turned around and began to run.
"Run Red, run….., into a better future!" I heard her last words, I looked behind me, but all I saw was her back, before she broke down to the ground in tears, crying bitterly, her howls filling the makeshift hallway, made by an explosion, which we ran through.
"Mommy!" My voice went silent as I remembered her pained expression, even my young mind understood that she didn´t hated me but wanted to save me.
"Come Red, we get you out of here, from now on you will live with your father and us, your siblings!" Rose said.
"Siblings?" My Younger self asked the girl.
"That´s right…, I am Rose, I am a… I mean I was a Felineko from Abyssinia, I don´t really know much about my past, only as much as I could find in the Experiment Reports of Baion.
Apparently he kidnapped me from an Island he destroyed long time ago…, I don´t even know how long I was there in this laboratory, but I was alone for so long until Carmine was brought.
Carmine is the man next to me, he´s my …, boyfriend one could say….., since I guess that no one would love me anyways, the way I am now since so long…., and I like him very much.
He is everything for me, the only person I trust, expect of your father and Shane and his Brother Nate.
Your father saved us as we had nothing, he gave us a home and a respectable life back and he never feared us or hated us, he never turned his back on us, no one else wanted us back then.
Everywhere we were shunned and hated for something we could nothing for, not even Carmine´s family wanted him back, as they saw what has been made of him.
And all just because of them….., oh how I hate them…, I will never forgive them both!" Rose told me with sorrow, as we ran through a long corridor.
"Your daddy is our live saver, a great and important man, the Ruler over and Ancient Kingdom high up in the sky!" Carmine said.
"Daddy….., are we going to Daddy…?" My younger self asked Rose and she nodded.
"Daddy does not like Red!" I stated.
"No this Daddy is not Baion, not the man you saw, this Daddy is your real daddy and I know he will love you!" Rose said smiling.
I saw light in front of us, before I suddenly was token upwards in Carmines arms.
"Now close your eyes for a moment, big boy!" He said and I did as told, and suddenly I felt how he jumped.
"Alright, you can open your eyes!" Carmine said, I looked only to see that we were standing in mid-air.
"Oh wow!" I shouted.
"Cool ne, well then get inside!" Carmine stated as he suddenly grabbed in thin air, only for suddenly something to appear beyond our feet, it was a small Airship, shaped like a dragon with inbuilt Cockpit.
It seemed to have been parked here the whole time and was just made invisible to the outside.
"Wow!" I looked around in wonderment.
"Ready to get back home, to Shangri-La, Carmine, Red?" I heard Rose´s voice asking over the radio set, I looked outside to see a giant Blue Dragon Mecha floating right next to us.
"But always, my Darling!" Carmine said and I practically could see Rose blushing.
"A-Alright then!" She said in a flustered tone, and I saw how she dashed upwards.
"Last one home is a lame duck!" She laughed.
"Hey that was dirty playing….oh wait you, well Red…, shall we show her how fast Caninus really are?" Carmine asked.
"Yes!" My Younger self shouted excited, and so we flew through the sky upwards, higher than Chocolat and I ever were. I looked back with a pained heart.
"Mommy…, why can´t mommy come with us?!" My Younger self asked.
"It is complicated, Baion, I mean your bad Daddy, is planning to do something very, very bad…, and your Mommy…, well she tries to stop your bad Daddy…, somehow…, and that's why Mommy stayed behind in order to stop his plan…, did you understand?!" Carmine asked.
"So Mommy is a hero?!" My younger self asked the totaly buff Carmine who got nervous by looking in that face full of anticipation.
"Yes…., you can say that I guess!" He replied after a while, perhaps with heavy heart.
"As much as you can call that women a hero…, I don´t think she´s lying when she said she had no clue….., she seriously was surprised back then.
Still…, that does not mean I can forgive her, to have played along with this monster, she even cursed you with this wicked existence as a threefold-Hybrid.
She speaks about saving the world, while having created something, to do the exact opposite….., I don´t understand that women at all!" Carmine whispered to himself.
"There she is!" Carmine said aloud, as he pointed forward, pointing at Roses Blue Dragon Airship.
"And now she´s there!" He laughed, as we dashed past her.
"Oh you, I will get you back for that…, this time I wont lose, believe me!" Rose said and she boosted up and soon we had a head to head race with her.
"Catch me if you can Sweetheart!" Carmine shouted as he accelerated even more, I looked forward to see a giant storm cloud before us.
"Carmine?" I asked fearfully.
"Are we going to fly inside, Mommy taught me that these clouds are dangerous!" My younger self asked in terror
"Yes, ah right, we have to go through them though, I promise you, behind this wall of clouds lies a whole new world for you, your new home.
So please, stay close to me, come in my lap and I promise you that nothing´s going to happen to you!" He said and I sat forward in his lap and he speeded even more up.
"See you back home Honey!" He said, as he rushed upwards towards the Cloud.
"Alright, see you, but be careful alright!" Rose stated over the communication-system.
I closed my eyes, and felt how our airship shook hard, it lasted for a few minutes until it suddenly was calm.
"Red look over there, for the next years will this be your new home!" Carmine said and I looked, before gasping in awe.
I saw a giant Island in the sky, it had a circular shape, perhaps over 100 miles in diameter, It hat four huge towers in all four directions, at the end of massive Rock bridges connected to the middle point of the Island.
Several villages were visible around and a large two-levelled town right in front a hill on which a giant circular white structure stood, with a just as giant white Castle on top, as big as an entire town.
I could se many swarms of foreign birds flying around and here and there I saw other airships flying around.
The closer we came, the taller and bigger the Island actually became.
"The island is nearly as big as ¾ of the Shepherd Republic´s entire size and it´s located right above the same, hidden by a massive spell, the giant Cloud which only those can see, who are allowed by a resident.
"What is that, Carmine?!" I asked, as I pointed on the castle.
"This, Red, is the Wolpalaca, the Wolven Paladin Academy…, or mostly only called Maranell´s Academy, since about 50 years.
And that under it is the old Reign Circle in which once the government of Lunaris had it´s residences, Lunaris was the ancient kingdom of the Lupycans, before the War and the Lycanian Revolution.
Today since 50 years it is the Military District of Shangri-La, that's the official Name of the Capitol of Lunaris, means of the entire Island.
And the town under it is called Moonstone, anyways, welcome Red, to Shangri-La!" Carmine said, and I was in awe before the grandeur of all I saw.
Our Airship began to descent upon a bridge which was made for them and we landed on a large place, everywhere I could see soldiers in uniforms performing drills and marched in formation.
"Beat you again Rose!" Carmine stated as Rose´s Airship arrived next to ours.
"Dammit, why is you red dragon so fast?!" She asked while she grumbled.
"Because I am the better pilot!" Carmine teased her.
"Someday I gonna make you eat these words my Dear!" Rose stated fuming.
"Easy Rose, easy, anyways how do you like it here Red?!" Carmine ask me.
"I love it, it´s so cool and the view is amazing!" I stated as I looked around, it was as if I more and more forget that this here was a dream and little I felt how the past me and the current sleeping me became more and more one, sharing the experiences from so long ago.
The Voices I heard also began to sound less faint and way clearer than before.
"Carmine, Rose how are you, did you have had a good flight?!" We heard a voice behind us.
"Lord Maranell, Carmine and Rose Evertrance are reporting back to the Headquarter, we arrived safely with the young prince Red!" Carmine saluted as he reported same as Rose.
"I see, well that are good news, any difficulties during the flight?" the Man in front of us asked, he was framed to both side by strong looking Caninu-alike beings, perhaps Lupycans, although those I have seen so far were as good-looking as a pile of garbage and shit.
"No sire, no difficulties at all, although Rose´s Blue Dragon seems to lose its boost midway, at least she arrived 5 minutes later than me, I advise to let it be checked in the Maintenance!" Carmine stated.
"Will be done in no time, well then…, you are Red I assume?!" The man stated as he kneeled down on eye level while I hid behind Carmines leg and coat.
"Y-yes!" I stammered in shyness.
"Hahaha, I see he´s a shy one, but there is no need to fear me young Boy, I am no danger to you…, well do you know who I am?!" He asked and it was silent for a while as I scanned the old Lupycan, the more I looked them ore I found his face appealing and familiar as if I saw myself inside of him.
"Da-Daddy?!" I asked.
"You are right…, well then, what do you think about our Kingdom, it has slimmed down a little from its original size but it is still very big I would say, hahaha!" The Man, my father stated with a gentle smile and outstretched arms.
"I Like it ist´s very beautiful and nice here and the view is amazing!" I stated and father nodded by each word.
"Indeed it is, I was surprised as we all woke up, we were suddenly in a total different day and age, it was amazing to see other nations being so developed so we too had to develop from our previous Knowledge.
Our world, which we knew does not age the same as it used to, 1 year in our old world are no 100 years in this one, when I tell you that we slept for 15 years in our old world, how long have we slept in this?!"
Father asked me and I began to count in my head.
"1500 years!" I replied and he nodded in awe.
"You are quite smart for your age…, did this women, I mean did Miss Million taught you that?!" Father asked me curiously.
"Mommy did!" I stated.
"Hahaha I see…, well we will have enough time to speak later with each other, but for now I think it would be nice for you to explore the town a little, since this here is going to be your home from now on!" Father explained.
"Okay!" My younger self simply said.
"Rose would you please accompany him, I have to speak a little with Carmine, Nate´s going to escort you!" Father stated to Rose.
"Of course Master Maranell!" Rose stated, as she bowed in respect.
"Come Red, let´s go on an exploration, shall we?!" She asked me.
"Yay, an Exploration!" I stated laughing and so we went away from the others, however my present self seemed to remain at the place near my Father for the time being.
"Well Carmine, how did things go down there, did this Women, this Merveille Million got you any trouble?!" Father asked in a harsher tone as before.
"No, she was quite cooperative, and it also didn´t seemed to me as a trap, I think she seriously was worried about Red´s wellbeeing, i´m no expert but I don´t think that it was an act at all, she seemed to really suffer and …, I didn't know on how much I can trust her there, but it seemed as if she didn´t not knew about us being Baion´s playthings, nor did she really knew to which purpose she even created Red and the other two.
Or at least she created them all out of a complete wrong conviction, who knows what Baion actually even told her to make her go so far as to create beings, nearly as strong as Baion himself!" Carmine explained.
"Whatever the reason was, she did created those other Hybrids, it does not make things any less severe when we would know she had no clue about the real purpose…, she helped him and that is all which counts…, what does she Intends to do now?!" Father asked.
"She said she would try to stop Baion!" Carmine stated.
"Hardly possible, if not even our King managed to defeat Baion, that guy is extraordinarily strong, even my Brother and I had to admit that, as we saw him fighting, back then as we got you two out of there!" Shane, Nathan´s Twin-brother, explained.
"Well she said she had help although I too hold this for hardly possible, but she was at least ready to even die for her sins!" Carmine stated.
"With the own dead no sin has ever been washed clean, I should know, instead we need to live with the acknowledgment of these sins and try to make the world a better place!" father explained and both man nodded.
"How´s Red taking the separation so far?!" Father asked.
"Surprisingly okay…., thought we made him believe that his mother is a hero, trying to stop his evil father Baion and his evil Plan…, well it is more or less the truth, still I don´t think we should tell him yet, that he might never see her again!" Carmine stated and a little I was shocked by this intrigue.
"I see, well that might be possibly for the best for now…, he should first acclimatise himself on his new freedom a little, he has been in that Laboratory for so long!" Father explained.
"I´m sure that would be the best…, still what are you going to tell Seraphina, I mean she surely will kill her sister if she ever knows and surely us as well when she gets to know that we knew about it all along!" Carmine stated.
"Leave her to me, she trusts me, and I am sure I can tell her without her getting mad, also when I tell her that the prince is her nephew!" Shane, Nates Younger Brother explained.
"Is it really a good idea to tell her, I mean if she knows about her she will surely demand to go get her herself!" Carmine stated.
"Hmmm, that could be a problem, sins are to redeem by each person alone, if Merveille million says that she will do anything, even die, in order to stop Baion´s plans, then it is her own wish!" Father stated.
"Sure and Seraphina will kill us as soon as she gets wind of the affair…., sigh.
I tell you she won´t go easy on us if she learns that her sister died, while we knew of her predicament and where do you get another smart brain like her´s, she is a valuable member of H.A.N.D.S. after all.
If it wouldn´t be for her, we wouldn´t ever have been able to gain the knowledge of programmable Nanoparticles, these things can create everything they are programmed to…., it´s though unbelievable that there are even nanoparticles in this boy!" Carmine stated as he looked after Rose, Nate and my younger self.
"Could you get to know more about him?!" Father asked.
"Unfortunately does it seem that neither Baion nor Miss million has any clue of what he actually is capable of, especially not since he was practically bathed in that So called M-Serum, made of your Blood.
If the Nanoparticles have reacted to the immense power which you bear and enable the boy to use the same, then it is wise to say that she was right, he could be a manmade god without even knowing, I mean after all this Sphere is stuck within your body and so has changed your entire DNA, and he has the same DNA.
Beside of a few Cells and the appearance of a Caninu, has Red nothing from both Baion or Miss Million, perhaps only his brain, I mean he does understand several quite complicated things, a knowledge which a child of his actual age should not even possess.
I don´t want to admit it, but she was right as she called him a masterpiece of science, every normal Caninu would have hopelessly died if he would have been set out to your Blood, since it is the oldest, most powerful and purest blood there is!" Carmine explained.
"Well in the end it is up to us what becomes of him, I just hope we soon learn what his forces are and how he can control them without hurting himself or other.
I used 10 entire years to master these new powers I have gained ever since Ragnarök´s fall, and still they came with a terrible price, I would wish for Red to be spared of such a fate!" Father stated.
"Well we will see I guess, for now he shall finally live normal and learn what it means to become the Prince, we have to prepare him as soon as possible, I don´t know how long I will last in this decaying Body, but even when, I have lived already for far too long…, Carmine, Shane.., will you care about him.., even when I am gone?!" Father asked them and they kneeled down before him.
"King Maranell, it would be an honour to teach and raise the new righteous Prince of Lunaris, in the way you intend!" They said in unison.
"Very well, I will leave the first phase of the training to you then, afterwards when he´s ready I will teach him personally all there is to know as new heir of the throne…., Lunaris needs a new King, one who can lead it´s folk with a pure heart…, so don´t pamper him too much!" Father stated smiling.
Suddenly I began to ascend and fly over the town at the foot of the Reign-Circle, to a particular place, where I walked around with my Companions.
"Well how do you like the Town Red?!" Rose asked me.
"It´s awesome so many things I don´t know!" my Younger self stated and once again I felt, how he and myself from the present became one.
"Well that makes me quite happy, I too love this town…, although I don´t like it to be stared on so much…, it makes me feel uncomfortable!" Rose stated while she walked around fidgeting and looking around like a hunted prey.
"Rose…, I´m back!" a voice stated behind us.
"Carmine oh thank lord, I almost thought I had to die!" Rose stated aloud as she ran towards her Boyfriend, hiding herself in his embrace.
"There, there no need to cry, I was not long and not far away after all!" Carmine stated as he took her in his arms.
"But still, I feel so restless and uncomfortable without you on my side!" Rose stated and she really trembled as she cried in his shoulder.
"Why are you crying Onee-chan?!" I asked.
"Rose does not like to be out of reach from Carmine for too long…, no one really knows why, but apparently it must have to do with something which Baion did to her.
She had been imprisoned for a long time and Carmine was the only one who was with her back then, he gave her strength while suffering himself, this way she managed to get through all of this pain, until we managed to save them both.
Still, if we would have managed to come further before being stopped by Baion, we might would have even managed to find you and free you faster…, geez who would have known that that Woman from back then would trace us up here and send an emissary who told us about you.
She even told us all about Baion´s Plans and even where the ancient Dahak was located, which once fell with the Shepherd Republic and was thus not been seen ever since…!
And all of that in a letter which has been saved, before Rose could rip it apart in her Rage….., but in the end it might have been for the best, I mean we have now a new righteous heir for the throne after all!" Nate explained as we watched the tearful reunion of the both lovers which let other people looking at them in mild amusement…, seems like it was a common view here in Moonstone.
I looked at them with a smile, feeling their strong love for each other.
I was sure that there would be a few good years waiting for me, maybe I would also finally get explained to , of why I lost my memories.
For now it seemed that this memory was finished, but instead of becoming black, my present self floated again high above the town, seeing how things passed in a time lapse, I saw how days, weeks, Months and even a few season went by.
"I wonder what might come next, I just hoped that the beautiful times would not end so soon already!" I thought to myself as I watched in the rising sun of a new day, as the time-lapse slowed to a halt.
To be continued…..
