Miss Queen B: Sooooo, wow, I never thought a short story like "Embers" would cause so much controversy (even after putting up a warning to avoid backlash and boy was there a lot of backlash.) Look, it was a simple story that popped into my mind after listening to a song on my Pandora. It was not my intention to cause such an uproar like it did. I didn't think it would cause such a heated debate since it was a dream. The whole story was a dream. I'm not saying all the reviews were bad, I'm actually quite flattered the story got so much attention (both positive and negative) because again, if I can get a reaction out of my readers then I did my job as a writer. But if you didn't like it don't attack the other reader's reviews and don't attack me. That stuff right there can easily destroy a person's inspiration in a heart beat. I don't regret writing "Embers", but I'm probably going to wait a while before posting another one-shot to avoid reactions like the other one. Anyway, notes:
Note One: I'm glad everyone love the fight scene in the last chapter. I have to say it was difficult to write since due to the Muto's size and power, she would be able to take on Mosura if not overpower her and writing about the Queen getting beat up made me a little uneasy.
Note Two: Thanks for all the wonderful reviews. You lovely readers know how to make a lady feel great about herself. Plus I hope this long chapter will make up for the long wait. Super Bowl had me working long hours again. blah. that weekend was worse than Christmas.
Note Three: So about this chapter: (Present) The King's patience is being tested by the Muto's foul mouth. (Flashback) A tender moment between Gojira and Mosura where he finally allows her to see his vulnerable side. #LetsGetWet
Part VI
His Vulnerability
~When the Devil keeps on asking you
To look at your past.
There must be something good in the future
That the devil doesn't want you to see"
~Jennifer Matamoros
It was her sinister chuckle that made him sneer quietly to himself. Why did she have to show her face now, of all days. It's not like he was afraid to deal with her, it was the fact that the Muto managed to ruffle his Queen's fur and left her feeling very insecure about his loyalty to her. He told her countless times he would never stoop that low to get back at her especially with something he wouldn't eat for a meal (let alone fuck). His Kind mate for life and with his Queen being immortal there was no way he would ever look at another female. Not even wasting time to turn around to face the creature, he took a few steps towards the water when she spoke.
I guess congratulations is in order, King?
That stopped him dead in his tracks. Dammit, the parasite was eavesdropping and heard about the Queen's egg. He slowly turned around to see her smiling big with those bright red eyes. The scars from her fight with his Queen could be seen. There were thin lines all over her head and body and the deep craters on her shoulder and neck from that deadly stinger of hers. While proud of his little Queen for putting up a fight with a kaiju nearly three times bigger than her, knowing there was no egg to fall back on, he was hoping she would have finished the job. Four shots of her venom would've been fatal if they were not immune to it like he was.
Eavesdropping, are we? He said, quietly, but deadly.
Don't act so surprised, my Kind has good hearing just like yours. She said, swaying her body in a flirty way. So are you here for my offer, surely the little Queen told you why she attacked me?
He sneered, Beat it!
She shrugs, Suit yourself, I'll just follow Scylla and tell the Queen myself how happy I am to hear she's expecting.
She walked past him only to be shoved back with his tail. There was no way she was going to follow the squid to his home. It's bad enough the stupid bird knows where he lives, he didn't want the parasite to know as well and risk his Queen's safety. He killed the Muto's only chance to have eggs when he tail-whipped the male into a building, she could easily go after his egg in retaliation.
If you think I'm going to stand here and let you go see the Queen, you're sadly mistaken.
She snorted, Well, I'm sure you have any other places to go because the second you leave I'm heading over there. It's not that hard to track Scylla's scent.
I can easily break your legs….
Wow, already that eager to touch me, huh? She smirked.
He rolled his eyes and tried not to gag from the mere thought. You're disgusting.
So I've been told, but still better than being a colorful little tart.
He stomped his foot causing the ground beneath them to shake and grabbed the Muto's attention. Watch your tongue before I tear it off. The Queen may have shown you mercy, but I won't.
Why must it always end with violence with you? She asked in a rather dramatic way. I mean, seriously, I'm getting death threats for calling the Queen names, yet Rodan is still flying around free from harm.
She had to bring the bird into this, but he will not fall for her trap. That was her game, she would nip pick at the things that will pissed him off the most to get him to react. She was on guard and has the power to weaken him if she finds the right moment. Luckily for him, he was on guard as well and knew where to strike if needed.
So I take it you'll be staying till Scylla comes back, right?
Like he really had a choice, if he leaves she will go after the Queen knowing she was in no condition to fight back. He could head home, but she will follow him to get his exact location. He could give her a warning, but again that means having to touch her and she seems anxious for that to happen. Last thing he wanted was to pick a fight with the parasite given recent information about her and her nasty way to get back at his Queen.
Just making sure you don't do anything foolish. He said while showing off his glossy sharp teeth.
You and Scylla are the same. Hence why she is allowing me to stick around so she can make sure I don't do anything foolish as well. Honestly, I don't understand what's so special about that little bug of yours?
He snorted and sat down to make himself comfortable. He had a feeling he might be here for a while. Hating the fact he had to stare at her every second, but it was the only way to make sure she didn't try anything. A long pause passed and she took the hint he was not here to chit chat with her.
Not going to answer my question? She asked, lying down on the ground as well. What a shame….it's alright though, I can always ask Rodan…
His eye twitch from that name, it was quick, but unfortunately, the parasite caught it and grins.
After all, he does talk about her a lot…..She smirked…..no doubt thinks about her when he's alone….probably dreams about her….I'm sure that kind of lust can really create some interesting, hot dreams...
He told himself once Scylla makes it to his island he would leave. By then her scent would be blown away by the wind and make it hard for the Muto to find her. He just has to wait it out and not react to her words. Although his face was firm and expressionless, his fingers were flexing in preparation. The wavelength of his Queen sounded like a low hum in his head, her way of saying she was asleep at the moment.
You know what I just realized...despite you hating the fire demon, you could say you two are forever connected thanks to her?
His plates started to glow from her words. The light show was just making her smirk even more. Yet, he still didn't say anything.
Wouldn't that be a real treat if you two meet face to face again and who knows maybe even swap and compare sinful stories-
He let out a loud growl while picking himself up from his sitting position to tower her with his claws up high and ready to strike. He saw the satisfaction in her face as she crouched down to ready herself to pounce. He stopped and lowered his claws down and just snorted. I'm not falling for your games, so you better knock it off.
A little peeved, but she quickly put her smile back on. You're no fun. She said, Why should she be allowed to have fun, but you can't?
He sneered at her and didn't move.
Come on, you know I'm right. Wouldn't it be nice not having to hold back all that male stamina because your mate is so little and fragile. Wouldn't you like a female that can handle you at maximum power?
If you're trying to get me to strike, it's not going to happen. He said coldly.
If you say so, but I know it doesn't take much to piss you off.
He shook his body in a way to get rid of his temper and settle back down without saying another word. The staring between the two continued and the King knew it was going to be a long afternoon. He checks his Queen's wavelength and she was still in dream mode. Knowing her, once she sees Scylla, he will feel her happiness and that will be his signal to leave. A couple of hours passed slowly to him and still he didn't move an inch from his spot or said a word. The Muto stayed quiet as well, but he can tell she was calculating something in that tiny head of hers. She was just lying there, looking up at him while pulling large chunks of grass and dirt clumps out of the ground.
You know there are better ways to pass the time, right? She finally said, yawning.
He snickered quietly to himself when he saw the large hole embedded in her tongue from his Queen's attack. She said Scylla pushed the Muto forward and her stinger went right through her chin and into her mouth.
What's so funny? She asked curiously.
Crap, of course she would hear him laugh, but whatever. Just curious about how bad it must've been to get stab in the mouth. He asked, with a sly grin.
Why? Do you want to lick it to make it feel better? She asked without skipping a beat.
His grin fell back to an annoying frown. Her way of flirting disgusted him so badly he was questioning if he would ever find sex appealing again. He could suddenly feel a sour taste in his mouth and secretly cursing Scylla for taking her sweet ass time over to his home. His Queen's connection was still humming in sleep mode. He snapped out of his thoughts when the Muto chuckled.
Relax, King. Is it so hard to take a joke?
A joke? You got your ass handed to you thanks to your little jokes, He said.
Maybe, but I didn't expect the little Queen to react the way she did….just another thing about the Queen we didn't know about.
I know more than you think, parasite.
Oh really? Yet, you were blindsided by her relationship with Rodan? She smirked.
He sneered slightly, Watch it….
Just saying, I warned you about him, what his intentions were and did you put a stop to it...obviously not since he's still flying around. Though, I wouldn't put all the blame on him since it takes two to fool around and the night when I caught them in the act should tell you right there she was a willing partner.
His mouth started to twitch and he fist his hands tight enough to feel his nails digging into his own flesh. The grin on the Muto's face said it all. She trapped him because despite not wanting to know the details of his Queen's relationship with the bird it still pissed him off that everyone else knows. He didn't like the fact that it spread like wildfire and made him look like a clueless fool. Still he will not give this piece of dirt the satisfaction she is craving. She wanted him to come close, to attack, to do something where he would have to make skin on skin contact.
They really thought they were alone in the Ruined City, the same place you killed my other two counterparts. He had her up against a building, twirling those little antennas of her with that "look" on his face. She told him they couldn't because of you, but that didn't last long…
A vein on the side of his head started to pulse and he started to grind his teeth a bit.
I'm curious though, King, you don't seem so happy about the Queen's egg? Are you thinking the same thing I'm sure everyone else is thinking?
She was about to cross a deadly line with him if she didn't shut her mouth….
Is the egg even yours, Almighty King?
He took a few steps towards her and was surprised she was walking backwards to keep space between them. Although he was baring his teeth and making his plates pulse, she still didn't show fear or kneel.
I can easily weaken you just by tapping the ground with my claw, right? She said, Just do whatever I want to you.
Yeah, but you value your life and if I can vaporize the False King, what makes you think you have a chance after I get my strength back? He asked.
Why are you so mad at me for pointing out the obvious. She snuck out to fuck with him once. What makes you think she didn't do it again? She smelled just like him when I was fighting her that one day…
No, it wasn't true. She was with him the whole time since she came out of her cocoon. He was the only one she's been with. He would know because if she did go behind his back again he would smell it on her like the last time. The Muto was just saying shit just to pissed him off and fuck it all, it was working.
If you say one more word-
What's a matter, can't stand to hear the truth. The possibility of that egg not being yours because Rodan couldn't keep those hot claws off that soft, delicate little body of hers-
He swatted her in the face before he could stop himself, leaving four deep cuts across her face. The sound of blood splattering everywhere could be heard as she collapsed to the ground. Letting out a loud growl, he turned to her only to see her getting up with blood leaking down her face. She licked her blood around her mouth and grinned. I like where this is going.
She rammed her body right into his stomach causing him to double over, but kept himself from falling down. It did knock the wind out of him that's for sure. Her large front arms wrapped themselves around both his arms and around his neck.
I was right, you do like it rough. She snickered and pulled him in for a bloody smooch.
Her tongue ran across his teeth and all he could taste was pure salt. He pulled his head away and took a few steps back, but she kept her tight grip on his neck and arms.
My, my what would the Queen think? She snickered.
Get off! He roared and pushed her down with his tail causing her to let go of her grip. The small spikes on his tails started to light up one by one as she tried to get herself up. He spits to get rid of the foul taste in his mouth and slammed his foot down on her back. Of all the fucking ridicules thing to do, she dare to touch him even after so many warnings! He leaned down and grabbed her mouth with both of his claws and tilt her head back so she can see his face. Powering up for his attack, he pried her mouth open with such force he nearly dislocated her jaw.
The Muto started to thrash around to get free, sending dirt and grass up into the air, but he managed to keep her pinned to the ground. My turn….He said, in a low and deadly tone. If she wanted a kiss that badly, he will give her one that will tear off her head!
He inhale all the air he can fit in his lungs and aim-
(My King….)
He suddenly felt a painful pinch in his head, slightly throwing off his aim when he released his blast. The pinch made him jerk and twisted the Muto's head at an angel where her eye took the direct hit of his atomic breath. Her loud painful screech could be heard for miles while the smell of burnt flesh filled his nose. He threw her aside to take a few steps back from the sudden dizzy spell.
My eye! The Muto cried in pain while rolling around in the dirt. My eye!
Ignoring her, the King tried to stay still to keep his head from spinning. He heard her voice. The way she said it sounded like a cry for help.
(Mosura?)
The Muto let out another loud cry which made him growl. Will you shut up for once! He shouted before going back to his connection. He waited for her to respond, but didn't get anything. In fact, all he felt was coldness coming from her end. At first he thought she was still sleeping, but he would always feel a mellow hum and warmth. Normally coldness would means she was…..
She's unconscious! He said out loud and headed back into the ocean not caring he left the Muto injured and suffering.
Back underwater, he swam as fast as he could to his home. Being unconscious, it was hard to track her down, but surely she was home. What in the world happened? Where the hell is Scylla? She would never let anything happen to his Queen. He concentrated on her heartbeat since that can still be sense and it was slow. The egg however was beating fast. Probably panicking like he was about it's mother's well being. Her energy was low as well maybe that's why the little one was jumping all over the place in the egg.
(Come down, you brat, you're not helping the situation) He said more to himself than the egg.
He needed to get to her and fast. He wanted to kick himself in the ass for leaving her alone, but she told him she would be alright. Scylla better have a good explanation for letting something happen to the Queen under her watch. Still sensing her heartbeat, he realized it wasn't coming from his home, but somewhere else. Great, she left their island after telling her not to fly off due to her carrying. Following the beat of her heart, he realized it's moments like these he was glad she convinced him to try this "connection" thing with her…..
Have you been up all night….
It's nothing new to me….you get used to it.
But why? Bad dream?
…..just have a lot on my mind…
0000000
~I stared up at the sun
Thought of all the people,
Places and things I've loved
You can feel the light start to tremble
Washing what you know out to sea
You can see your life out of the window, tonight…~
Lying down in the shallow part of the ocean, he can feel Mosura shifting around on his back before crawling down to his head. He snorted, making bubbles in the water because he knew she was going to ask more questions. He couldn't help, but smile when he saw her new colorful wings floating around in the water on each side of his head. They were slightly glowing and he loved the new pattern she created. Her face suddenly appeared in front of his vision with a little smile on her mouth.
Do you want to talk about it?
He huffed, No, not really.
She nuzzled his cheek with her, her feather-like antennas caress the top of his forehead. Please, it might make you feel better. So what's bothering you?
He groans and pushed himself away from the shallow part of the ocean till his feet and arms couldn't touch the ground. He relaxed, letting the current take his body wherever direction in the water. Were you up all night as well?
She yawned, No, believe it or not, you're back is very comfortable. Lying down between your spikes makes me feel safe.
Well, that's nice to know. It's the least he can do since he didn't know what else he can give to some affection or bond with her more. He didn't want to tell her that when she was going through her egg, larva and cocoon thing, it made him realize how much he missed seeing her in her final form. Everything from her fur, wings, eyes and beauty. The sudden need to get close and touch was starting to break down barriers he thought were solid and untouchable.
You know you being quiet is not going to work this time, my love. She said slyly. I wish you can talk to me more.
He sighed, All this socializing you're making me do is really out of my comfort zone, Mosura.
He can understand she needed to be around other creatures and kaijus, but to have him get involved was something he hasn't done for nearly half a century. He didn't realize how well-known Mosura was around the world. She changed a lot of kaijus' lives by the way they talk about her. He can even sense the jealousy and disapproval looks males would give him every time she would introduce him as the guy courting her. Not a mate yet, but a courtship is still telling other suitors to back off no less. What threw him off is when all her friends and acquaintances realize he was THE Gojira, the whispers begin followed by them kneeling at his feet out of respect and as a top alpha. Some would even thank him for fighting the Fallen Star. Many have lost their mates, hatchlings, packs and homes to the three headed demon so it was nice to know there was someone out there taking care of things. Still being called something that high up there was a little too much for him….it brought back some memories of his old life.
I know, but I thought you would be happy to see how well adored and respected you are across the lands. There's no reason to hide or be alone.
I have you….that's enough for me. He said, feeling his cheeks warming up a bit.
She hummed and started to twirl her claw around in the water. Alright, but there's no need to hide anymore then. You should be walking around with this title with pride. I have to say, being called a King is kind of cute. She said with a tiny smile.
He grumbled and lifted his head up from the water, making her step back a bit so he can look at her at the corner of his eye. A so-called King is not supposed to be cute. A so-called King needs to be feared by all.
She giggled, I don't think that's how it works.
My Sire ruled his pack with fear. He said, then realized what he just said.
They both stayed quiet for a minute, only hearing the waves crash against the shoreline. She cleared her throat. I didn't know your Sire was an alpha, so wouldn't that make you…
Nothing. He said, quickly. It makes me nothing, end of story, so let's just drop it.
He didn't know how, but he could actually feel the disappointment spreading across her face. He heard her let out a small sigh and lifted her wings out of the water to shake them dry before draping them on his back. I hope you can trust me enough to open up to me one day. She whispered.
I don't want to talk about it.
Well, if we connect I can see it for myself so you don't have to.
Is this connection that important to you? He asked. Remembering the stupid squid and Mosura talking about it when they thought he was sleeping.
Yes….I want to bond with you, Gojira. She whispered. The way she said it was filled with desperation and need.
He did too, but it was hard for him to say it. It was hard to express it sometimes. Well the first thing to do is switch to another position so he can talk to her face to face. He let himself sink underwater, making her fly into the air, so he can turn around and float up to the surface on his back. He looked up at the sky to see it still night with a few little stars twinkling here and there. There was a small amount of bright colors coming up, hinting to him that it was almost morning. The view of the sky was blocked by Mosura flying above him. Her gorgeous wings were sparkling thanks to her shimmer dust and her eyes were glowing bright blue.
Hey there. She said, playfully. I don't think I've ever seen you float on your back before.
There's enough space for you to rest on if you like. He said, trying to flirt in his own way. Which he failed miserably in his opinion
Tilting her head, she floated down and settled on top of his right knee. There was an unsure look on her face and he knew what it was. When they sleep with each other at night, it was either side by side or her on his back. Never front to front since it was a more intimate position. She stretched out her wings before folding them in as she laid down on his leg. Although she was resting on his body, he felt like she was still too far away from him.
You can come closer if you like. He said.
A tiny blush formed on her cheeks. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable.
He rolled his eyes and swallowed to get rid of the dryness he felt in his mouth. That was a first, she would always jump in for affection when opportunity presented itself. Yet, this is a first on his part to make the first move. I want you to come closer.
When she didn't move he lowered his legs into the water causing her to leap forward and landing on his stomach. Don't do that the water is freezing. She said, shaking the water off her feet. His mouth started to twitch from feeling her sharp claws nipping at his stomach as she tried to lie down again.
You're right, there is a lot of space on this side instead of your back. She joked.
Was that a fat joke….?
She giggled, No, though your stomach is very soft to walk on.
He tilted up a bit and tried to grab her with his claws, but she pulled back before he had a chance. She smirked and gently flap her wings in his face to tease him. Too slow, my Love.
He blew her wings out of his face which she then spread them out high in the air and started to make them glow again. She started to flutter them fast at first to grab his attention before slowing them down so he can see the shimmer dust floating around them. She kneel down and wiggled her tiny body to make her fur extra fluffy and puff out her chest. He tried to hide his little sly smile, but she spotted it no less by the way she was giggling.
What's so funny? He asked.
You're smiling.
I'm enjoying the show...He said.
She blushed and turned around to give him a full view of her wings and back. The bright colors of orange, blue, red and yellow blended in together and he wondered if they were as soft to touch as they look. He would feel those wings brush up against his side or face all the time, but never actually touch them with his claws. She did a little twirl before giving him a warm smile. He can't recall a female ever giving him that type of smile: adoration, devotion….love. His tail started to wag causing him to float deep into the large vast ocean. Soon he could no longer see the land so it was just them, the ocean and the sunset coming up.
Come here...He whispered.
Not taking her eyes off of him, she slowly walks over to him in small steps. He couldn't tell if she was still unsure what his motives were or if she was just being a tease. Either way, he liked it and she did too apparently. When she was close to his face, she didn't waste time nuzzling his cheek while letting out little purr-like rumbles. Their snouts touch for a second or two before he titled his chin up and pressed his mouth against hers. Although he was trying to be gentle, the force nearly pushed her back a bit, but she managed to keep her stance. Her wings flare up again because it was their first time sharing a kiss and he was the one who went for it. It lasted only a few seconds though it felt like eternity and already missed when she pulled away.
Her eyes shifted from left to right and noticed his claws were just a few feet away from her body. She let out a small giggle, It's ok, you can touch…
Embarrassed for getting caught, he placed his claws as gently as possible on each side of her upper body. Just below where her wings attach to her shoulders. Even being gentle still made her legs and front arms buckle sharply. Instead of trying to stay still, she allowed him to push her down for some skin on skin contact. He could feel her spreading across his chest while letting her wings down back into the ocean. She let out a soft thrill and buried her face in the crook of his neck, nearly touching his gills which made him tense up.
Why are you so tense? She asked.
~If I lose myself tonight
It'll be by your side
If I lose myself tonight
It'll be you and I
Lose myself tonight..~
Burying his hands into her fur with his nails slightly digging into her flesh, he ran them down her body, feeling her wings brush up against the back of his hands, till he was just above the location where her stinger was at. I'm trying to be careful. He said, feeling warm despite the water being cold. He brought his hands back up towards him and placed them on her wings. He caressed the wings with spread out fingers and could hear his nails nipping at the soft texture while making sure he didn't poke holes in them. They felt like that silk she would spit out on occasion, maybe even softer than that. The caressing made her shudder and she placed a few soft kisses on his neck.
It's nice to see your gentle side. She whispered.
For your eyes only, so I don't want to hear you spreading this around. He said, quietly.
You're threats are hollow to me, my Love.
He ran his claws down her back again, feeling her muscle twitch from the firm touch. He can feel her little heart beating against his chest and a small hum coming out of her mouth. Her tiny body going limp, relaxing from his intimate gesture and could actually feel himself relaxing as well.
He let out a soft snort and looked up at the sky again. I was next in line as an alpha….
Her antennas perk up, but instead of pointing out his vulnerability showing again she just whispered, What happened?
My Sire died….I was still a young hatchling at the time.
Running his claws down her body again which was rewarded with another kiss on his neck, she asked. How did he pass away?
Fighting off an Alpha Muto….the Prime one as they called her. I think he knew he didn't stand a chance, but he wanted to protect the pack and his mate. He said, he stopped his claws in mid air and formed them into fist. I remember hearing him calling out for help, but none of the pack went to his aide….except for his mate of course….they never came back….
Her head shifted, feeling her antennas brush up again his chin and sigh, You were so young, that must have been devastating.
Seeing my kind act like cowards was worse. Turns out the second in command never liked my Sire. With him out of the way and me being too young to challenge him for the position, he took over and let me stay out of pity till…..
He remembered fighting another young lizard kaiju just for pure sportsmanship. The other one was trying to impress a female. Frustrated since he was the only one who was never taught much when it came to fighting skills, he was losing and they were mocking him. He remembered the look in the other younglings' eyes when they saw his plates lighting up, something only his Sire could do. The next thing he knew he unleashed a powerful blue beam from his mouth that knocked over his opponent while frying the surface part of his scales. The look of fear they gave him was the same fear they had towards his Sire. He was just like him and was shunned.
Till what? She whispered while motioning her body for some more caressing. She probably knew this gentle touching and skin on skin contact was helping him open up a little. He placed his claws on her back again and continued with his strokes.
The Second in command saw me as a threat. Everyone did. They didn't want another one like my Sire around. They gave me a choice….leave or be killed. I can tell nobody wanted me there and I hated them for not helping my Sire anyway, so I left. Told them I hope those parasites come back and finish them off. Never saw them again.
He heard her soft humming again while picking herself up so their mouths can touch again. She pulled away and just stared at him. Well, that's their loss. They never got a chance to see what you can really do. Who you really are.
He rolled his eyes, Like I care what they think of me. As far as I know, they could be dead either by the Mutos or the Fallen Star.
She pouted from his coldness. Let's hope not. So can I hear more about yourself.
He looked away and heard her sigh in disappointment. Knowing she will never drop the subject and will find other ways to get him to open up, he might as well stop acting so guarded and go for it. So what do I need to do?
His glowing golden eyes trailed back to her blue eyes as she tilted her head a bit from his question. What do you mean? She asked.
This connecting thing….He said.
You don't seem so sure about it. She said, frowning.
I am. I just need to know what to do.
We touch foreheads, but it's a little harder than you think. You need to be relaxed and willing to open up your mind or else it will hurt. She said.
I doubt it will hurt that much.
You'll be surprised. I tried it on Scylla once since she would worry about me traveling all by myself and told her this will help her keep track of me, but it didn't go so well. It freaked her out having someone in her mind and she said it felt like someone stabbed her in the head with a sharp thing and left it there.
I had teeth embedded in my skull before, I'll be fine.
Are you sure? She asked.
Take this opportunity because I won't offer it again. He joked, but realized she was being dead serious. That's a first for her, but it was quickly replaced with a small smile. There's that smile he wanted to see and love. She lifted herself up and crawled up his face till her face was near his forehead. Her upper chest was pressed up against his snout, tickling his nose a bit with her fur, to keep herself steady.
Now close your eyes and relax. She whispered.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes while his claws held on to her. She pressed her forehead to his and for a moment nothing happened till he started feeling a warm sensation seeping into his head, through his skull and being absorbed into his mind. Something strange was being pulled out of his mind and forming a tight knot with something else. He started to feel a large pinch and sparks and began to provoke to fight off the pain, but it only made it worse. She told him to relax so he took another deep breath and held onto her tighter. Just as soon as the pain came it went as well and he started to hear a light hum in his head and a beating of a heart. What in the world is happening!
(Don't be scared)
He nearly sank underwater from hearing an echo-like voice in his head.
(It's me)
He was not scared, just surprised by the sudden voice in his head.
(Think of a memory. Open up to me, my Love)
If you stop your nagging, I will. He said out loud only to have her giggle.
~I woke up with the sun
Thought of all the people
Places and things I've loved
You can feel the light start to tremble
Washing what you know out to sea
You can see your life out the window, tonight..~
With their foreheads still attached to each other, he closed his eyes and tried to recall some past memories. The first one was him as a hatchling since he brought up his parents after all. Though his eyes, he can see himself lying on the ground with his mother's tail curl around him for protection. A few meters away, his Sire wanted to show him something neat. His Sire was tall, bulky, and scary with the same golden eyes and large, giant back plates. Putting himself in position, he raised his head up high and unleash a power blue beam into the air that made the ground rumble and push the clouds away in the sky. His Sire looked down at him with a smirk, telling him he might be able to do this as well one day.
(You look just like him) He heard in his head. Mosura could see what memory he was seeing.
He blinked and started to remember something else.
The look of concern on his Sire's face while telling his mother to run away and protect him as he went off to fight the Muto Prime. Mother told him he can't do it alone, but he said he needed to protect them and the pack. He took off without another word and that was the last time he ever saw his Sire. Mother didn't want to leave him since he was still young, but his Sire needed help and no one else wanted to go so she went after him and never came back as well.
He blinked.
Being on his own was nice at first, but he soon realized what a crazy world it was out there. Being by himself attracted a lot of other predators who were either hungry or itching for a fight. It did build up his survival skills since he didn't have parents to teach him things, but he would go to sleep battered and bruised.
Blink
He back away when a pretty little moth threatened him harm if he smashed her egg. With wings flapping and her screaming at him to leave, they started to fight. He just wanted her to back off and leave him alone. He wasn't going to do anything to her stupid egg. Finally it ended with her stabbing him in the neck with her stinger and him breaking her neck.
Blink
He told the spikey kaiju to stop following him, but the one called Anguirus didn't back down. He said he looked like someone who needed a companion and he always wanted to travel. He rolled his eyes and gave up trying to scare the kaiju away and soon they became friends. After being on his own for decades, he found someone who seemed to tolerate him. It was nice to have someone to talk to till Anguirus convinced him to let another kaiju travel with them. He lost count how many times he and the fire demon butt heads. Something about the fire demon just made his blood fester.
Blink.
Rejecting Mosura's love the first time and running away still haunts him till this day. Anguirus told him what a big, fat, asshole he was for doing that to the little moth. How dense he was for not seeing what everyone else can see. He put up a lot of bullshit from him and Rodan over the years, but this was unacceptable. The last conversation he had with his friend was Anguirus telling him before they fight the Fallen Star, he should find Mosura and talk things out in case things don't end well. At that time, he just wanted to kill off the Fallen Star and be done with it.
Blink
They had him pinned to the ground with their foot and started to stomp on him with all their strength. He could hear his ribs cracking and blood squirting out of his deep wounds. He looked up to see two of the three heads staring down at him with their sinister grins. The storm they were creating brought heavy rain and powerful lightning and thunder. Spitting out blood, he turned his attention to the left head who had a badly injured Anqurius by the throat with his teeth. They have gotten stronger since the first time they fought. The left head threw his friend to the side, tearing a large chuck of flesh from his neck, and watched him collapse to the floor. He was far away, but he can see his friend struggling to get up even with blood pouring out of his mouth, nose and wounds. Now all three heads were staring down at him and told him, you cut off one of our heads now it's our turn. He shook his head when he felt a slight pinch of fear coming from Mosura and decided to end that memory for a later day.
Blink.
You made it clear you don't want me around…..
You made it clear you don't want me around….
You made it clear you don't want me around! Mosura told him. She didn't even dare to look at him. She was nice enough to save him from the Fallen Star and patch up his wounds, but she was angry at him. There was so much rejection she could take from him and that was it for her. She flew off and he was alone once again.
Blink.
Drops of blood spilled from his forehead and soak into the ground below him. He was tired, wounded and miserable. They found him again and like before they will battle him till one of them either dies or kneel. It was fun for them, they do love a challenge and if they wanted to they would've killed him instantly, but where's the fun in that. They wanted him to suffer. With that they swatted him in the face with their giant wing while telling him to kneel. He refused so they wrapped their tails around his neck and started to squeeze...
It was a non-stop battle with the three headed demon. The fights were vicious, hellish and downright painful. He lost count how many times he would tear one or two of their heads off only to see them grow back. He's been picked up from the ground to be thrown down like nothing. Blood and scales would fly everywhere and when it was all done, when either him and them retreated it was the aftermath he hated. He would be once again alone, fuming, tired and trying to recover from his wounds. The rain would sting the deep cuts as he sat there hearing the gurgle sound of his blood in his breathing. It would hurt to breath due to the blows he would get to his chest and all the broken bones. He lost teeth, chunks of flesh, large amounts of blood, a few plates and nails from these fights and most of all, his sanity. He couldn't sleep knowing any minute, someone or the Fallen Star will attack him so he would stay up all day and night with his guard up. Everytime he would close his eyes he would see three pairs of eyes staring and charging at him with their teeth. Day after day, year after year, it was the same thing. They will find him, they will fight him for days at a time then they will retreat to recover only to do it all over again. There were times he didn't think he would ever find peace again because he could not kill the Fallen Star no matter how hard he tried…..it was pure madness. It was-
~If I lose myself tonight
It'll be by your side
If I lose myself tonight
Wooh, wooh, wooh!..~
She pulled away from his forehead and his eyes snapped open to see her hissing in pain with tears in her eyes.
Your grip….She cried out in pain.
The bright light on the morning sun gave him enough light to see his claws gripping her sides tightly. He was getting so worked up from going down memory lane, he didn't realize his nails punctured her soft skin and made her bleed. He started to feel like something was pinching his mind and could hear the racing of her beating heart. He could suddenly sense the pain she was feeling. He let her go although he left behind four puncture holes on each side of her body with green blood soaking in her fur.
I didn't mean..I didn't know what I was doing...I-
She nuzzled his cheek again and he could feel her furry cheeks damp by her tears. It's ok, I know you didn't mean it.
You're crying…
I'm sad that you went through so much. You think you are some sort of monster, but you were only trying to survive. You regret running away from me just as much I regret leaving you when you needed me the most.
I told you, I didn't want you to see what I went through. He said, but the coldness he was feeling from her sorrow started to warm up.
I'm happy you did. That's all I ever wanted from you was to open up to me. And I'm also happy you accepted my gift to connect as well.
He felt like all his senses were heighten due to their connection and that warm feeling started to burn from her happiness and love she felt for him. I know you're happy, but can you tone it down a bit. My head feels like it's on fire.
She giggled, Sorry, with some practice you can minimize that if you like, but tell me, why do you feel so guilty all of a sudden, my Love?
He frowns, I still don't have a gift for you yet. That was part of the courtship and he still hasn't put in his part of the trade. He could mark her since that was his way forming a bond, but again, still wasn't sure if she could take the branding. He can sense her pain still from the holes he made with his claws. How can she handle a bite?
She buried her face in the crook of his neck again as they continue to float around in the ocean while enjoying the morning sun. Now they were connected as she puts it. No more keeping his guard up or hiding things from her. Everything was all out in the open and after seeing few clips of his memories, she still saw him the same way. Not a monster, but just Gojira. It will take time to get used to it like everything else, but he was glad he did this with her. He's never seen her this happy before.
Seeing all of you was your gift…..

It'll be you and I
Lose myself tonight.~
