Pink Petals

by Miss Queen B

"And I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you. You got me wrapped around your finger. Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to? Do you have to let it linger?" Mosura always helps those in need. Whether it's healing an open wound or a broken heart. Part III of the "Color Series"

3. Chapter Three

Miss Queen B: Hello all you wonderful Readers, I hope everyone is doing well. I'll make this short and go to the notes:

Note One: Finally, after months of writer's block, Covid sickness, some family issues and me venturing in some "Solar Opposites" work, this chapter and story is DONE! I swear I didn't think I was going to finish it, I almost put the word "Discontinued" on my profile page, but then a week ago, out of the blue, it was finally clicking again and next thing I know, I was spending hours typing down everything that was spilling out of my head. So yeah, I'm happy for this sweet little story to be over.

Note Two: boy, oh boy, this chapter brought back a lot of memories of my youth, especially with the song I picked. "Linger" by the Cranberries is a very personal song I hold dearly to me since It reminds me of my first Love. Granted it was a toxic relationship and I was young and stupid, it was still a big part of my life no less. You could say if it wasn't for that relationship, I would have never met my Husband in the aftermath and you know the rest. Lol. But I don't want to bored you with all the sappy stuff, moving on.

So about this chapter: Thanks to Mosura, Persephone finally found a way to talk to Tyr for the very last time. There's a reason Gojira hates socializing and Stone gets his chance to prove his worth to the Princess.

Sorry for the long wait, I really, really appreciate your patience. Here's the conclusion to "Pink Petals." Enjoy.

Part VIII

~She picked all the petals

Off of all the flowers

But in her heart

She knew he loved her

Not.~

~Unknown

~She sprouted love like flowers,

Grew a garden in her mind

And even on the darkest days,

From her smile

The sun still shined.~

~Erin Hanson

Mosura blinked and had to take a step back from the Princess. I beg your patron?

Persephone frowned, I mean, it shouldn't be that hard. You've done it before and it won't cause any harm…right? She had to ask because despite the strain she was feeling with her Sire, she doesn't want anything to happen to him. She heard Tales about it from other Mountain kaijus about the Fallen Star's "Mind Powers." Those that were under their Trance were never the same again and that's if they got out of there alive. Most of the time, they would drive their victims insane to the point the stress would stop their heart or go completely brain dead.

Harm? No, of course not. The most I ever hear about from my Companions was a slight headache and strange noises…Mosura said only to quickly shake her head while waving her claws in front of the Princess….But that's not the point, Persephone, I cherish my "Gifts" and would never use it in devious schemes.

It's not devious…it's-it's-it's not like I want to harm my Sire-

I can't invade his privacy like that unless his permission is granted. What I've learned from the past is that there's nothing more dark than a Kaiju's mind. The Memories I would see…it can be a real eye-opener.

Then I don't understand why you do it in the first place? Where's the good deed in it?

Mosura smiled while looking at the grass. It helps kaijus seek closure after a traumatic event. To help Old ones on their last day remember happier times so they can die in peace. To help a mature kaiju see a parental figure they lost because they were too young to remember their features. Or in my case, a great way to deeply connect with the ones I love and to keep them safe. One of the best feelings in the world in my opinion. I can simply close my eyes and see where my Love Ones are in a second.

While Persephone stared at her with this intrigued look on her face, Mosura couldn't help, but close her eyes for a moment and concentrate. In her mind, three bright lines appeared in front of her in different colors and pulsing smoothly. There was a blue one, the brightest one of the three leading towards the direction where her King was. He was calm and enjoying the warm evening air. Check. She then focused on the bright gray line that was connected to her best friend, Scylla. Though they weren't connected like the way she was with her King, their bond was still strong enough for her to sense her Squid Friend out if needed. She can actually see her and her Sister-Pack getting their home ready for the next Breeding Cycle. Check. The last line made her frown since it was practically fading away, the fact, the bright gold it used to have was now dimmed down to an ugly yellow. There were times she wanted to go back and work things out with her other best friend, Quetz, but Quetz made it clear after the fight they had, she never wanted to see her again and Mosura respected that enough to stay away…Still, that doesn't mean she stopped checking up on her, just once or twice a year unlike Scylla.

Wow, if you put it that way, my request sounds unreasonable. Persephone whispered, feeling upset for even bringing it up.

No, it's not in a way. I mean, it wouldn't be the first time Kaijus would ask me to peek into someone else's mind. Mostly silly requests, like if a certain kaiju has a crush on them or to cheat when it comes to sparring, but to find an unmarked grave….

The Princess leaned down till she was eye level with Mosura, which is saying something since the Moth was tiny compared to the Bulky kaijus like the Mountains, Lizards and Sloths. Please, I'm not asking for much. I need to know…this little secret has been haunting me for years.

Mosura felt bad, she really did and she would do anything to help the Princess out, but this…I can't.

I wouldn't put you in this predicament if there was no other way-

I'm sure you to talk to your Sire, really talk to him, he would understand and might-

-You don't think I've tried. I tried so hard, practically begged him just to take me to the grave, but he wouldn't budge. My friends tried and even his closest friends tried to talk him into it, but nothing. The whole herd, All the kaijus in the world can come together to convince him, but he would rather take the secret to the grave-

I think you're overreacting on that last part. Mosura said, trying to sound funny, but didn't even get a giggle out of Persephone so she sighed, But the bottom line is: I can't do it and even if I did, there's no way he wouldn't find out.

You can read his mind when he's asleep. To him, he would probably think it was a dream. Persephone said, brightly. He doesn't have to know.

That's being dishonest to your Sire, Sweetie.

And what he's doing is not? He can't give up his Pride for one second to tell me? After what happened with Tyr, I have the right to know.

You should honor your Sire's wishes. Mosura said, calmly. Unsure how to get out of this. The last thing she wants is to destroy whatever's left of this relationship with the Princess and her Sire.

Her tiny body bounced when Persephone knelt in front of her with her head buried in the dirt. It made her uneasy since a lot of kaijus would do that to show gratitude to her King for trapping the Fallen Star in ice. She, on the other hand, didn't want to feel like a high power alpha. Persephone sniffled, If I have to beg I will, Mosura. Please, for years I would replay what went wrong between me and Tyr and the last time I saw him before he left. I was so mad and hurt, I wasn't thinking straight. I kicked him out of the Herd and because of that, he was killed.

It wasn't your fault. She said, repeating herself since they had this conversation before.

And no matter how many times I'd hear that, it won't make a difference. I need to see him one last time.

She sighed and wondered if she should get her King involved. No doubt her King will tell her flat out no, but she had a feeling that wouldn't mean anything to Persephone, she would either try harder to get her on her side or just live the rest of her life in depression. She groaned, I would like to try my method before we make irrational decisions and if you don't like it, we'll go back to dealing with your Sire. How does that sound?

Persephone tilted her head in confusion. Is that the one where you go into my mind instead?

She nodded, It's not as bad as you think. I've done it many times with other kaijus. Trust me and if you don't like it, like I said, we'll go back to the issue with your Sire.

Clearly unsure, Persephone nodded, Alright, what do I have to do?''

First, I need to be with my King. We're going to be in a trance, so it's best to have someone to look out for us….

00000000

It was the late evening when they made it to the lake on the outskirts of Persephone's home turf. Sure enough, just as she expected, her King wasn't watching out for Predators or Outsiders, he was soaking in the lake, which was deep enough for him to sink down till only the points of his back plates were showing. Her poor King, it's been a while since they were near the endless ocean water and the salty air and would love to drop everything so they can go, but she couldn't abandon her mission, not when they were making a lot of progress.

The Princess cleared her throat. I don't want to be rude and question your King's ways, but how can he keep watch if he's underwater?

She sighed, Because he's not. He is just using that as an excuse to sleep peacefully.

Oh. Persephone said, before frowning, Again, not to be rude, but with us living so close to the Prime's turf, we need to have someone watch constantly.

I understand. Give me a moment to wake him up. Plus this will be a good time to meet him up close.

Are you sure…he doesn't look like a kaiju that mingles.

He's not, but it's fun to watch him try. She said, before flying over to her King.

She landed softly on his back with her wings spread up as high as she could to prevent them from getting wet. The water felt nice, cold with a light dirt scent, but it wasn't something she would bathe in. She knew better places where the water was clean and a lot clearer than this. How her King could stand it is anyone's guess. She lifted her claws up and started to tap her King on his back while sending a warm hum through their Connection.

(I hate to wake you, but you need to get up) She translated gently into her King's mind only to get an uncomfortable pinch in return. Her King shifted, like he was trying to dive deeper into the water only to realize he wasn't in the ocean like in his dreams.

Bubbles begin to form on the surface thanks to one of his famous Snorts, before lifting his head out of the water. He shook his head to get rid of the excessive water before looking at her. How long was I asleep? He asked.

Depends, how long was it when you kicked Ravi and Raijin out? She replied back.

He rolled his eyes. Not soon enough. I came here to get some peace and quiet and those two wouldn't stop talking and then things got weird when they started talking like they were one kaiju.

Twins tend to do that, my Love.

I know, but that doesn't mean I would be used to it. He said, before sitting up with her hanging on to his back plates. So what's been going on?

She crawled up to his left shoulder. Oh, I helped the Princess take care of the Calves and watch some of the males spar. You should go and spar with them. It would be a nice way to show off some new moves. She said, trying to motivate him.

I'd rather work on my Beam. Do some of those breathing exercises Methuselah told me about.

She shrugged her shoulders, If you must, but first, I want you to meet the Princess.

He blinked with this "Serious" look….Do I have to? He asked.

Please, plus I'm going to need your help to keep watch.

He looked over at the Princess, who was staring at a certain spot of dirt with this dread look in her eyes. Is that her?

Mosura nodded, Yes, come on, she's really sweet and kind, even you will like her.

Mosura, she's staring at dirt and you expect me not to look at her funny?

Meanwhile, Persephone let a tiny smile spread across her face from hearing Mosura and the Lizard kaiju bicker. It wasn't mean or spiteful. He didn't look at Mosura like she was dumb, clueless or foolish in her case. They were being playful like any mates would do, complete with one partner trying to get the other one out of their comfort zone. Oh, how she longs for that type of connection with a male. She took a deep breath to keep her anxiety down. She didn't want to tell Mosura about the lake because part of her thought she could handle the delicate site. It's been a while since she's been here with her friends…there were just so many memories here…where she got her first kiss…where Bala and her set Aoide up with Adonis due to the Male's shyness…where she snuck off to see Tyr during his nightly duty to guard their herd…where she spotted those glowing red eyes of the parasite staring back at her with a sinful grin…the same place where Tyr would meet up with his Parasite Fling…where they found him in a pool of bloo-

Are you Ok, Princess?

The Princess snapped out of her bittersweet thoughts only to notice a shadow casting over her. She slowly followed the shadow over to the giant lizard standing right in front of her. Unlike her Male Counterparts, females are smaller and less bulkier so standing next to the tall Lizard frightened her a bit. Especially when it's the same lizard that took down the Fallen Star for good. She swallowed and nodded while taking a few steps back so she could look up at Mosura, who was resting on the Lizard's shoulder. Her large delicate wings swish gracefully on the Lizard's side. It was then she noticed the well-detail eye pattern on the tips of the wings. Sorry….She whispered,...I was lost in thought.

Mosura landed on her back and smiled. I hope they were good thoughts. She asked while giving her dying trees a little boost of life.

In a way, they were…she thought while staring up at the giant lizard. He definitely had a Mountain Kaiju's spirit in him. The firm look, perfect posture and battle scars were a dead giveaway and she could see why Methuselah took a liking to him (as well as female lizards).

Will you stop staring at me? The Lizard firmly asked only to have Mosura whisper, My Love, don't be rude.

She quickly lowered her head, embarrassed. I'm sorry. I rarely see Lizard kaijus around. I grew up mostly around Spiked, Parasites and a few wandering Sloths.

Mosura giggled, Don't mind him, he's not much when it comes to mingling.

Persephone picked her head up to stare up at the lizard. Would it be too much to ask for a name? How else would I properly Thank him for saving the world?

Now it was He, who flinched, since he was still having a hard time being held at such a high honorable status. He then cleared his throat. Gojira….

It's nice to meet you, I'm Persephone. She said, giving him a bow. And thank you…my Herd owes you a lot of debt for getting rid of the Fallen Star. You're always Welcome here.

His tail swished around in the air before making a large splash in the water. Thank you…I guess. He said, whispering the last two words as quietly as possible.

Mosura couldn't help, but smile nervously at the two. Like so many times before, even the most positive and sociable kaijus would stop dead in their tracks when they meet her King up close. His monotone face would always strike fear in their eyes even though her King was the one who was being shy. She cleared her throat. Now that the introduction is out of the way. What were you thinking about, Persephone?

As Gojia laid down with half his body still in the lake, Persephone decided to take a slow walk around the lake with Mosura tagging along. Oh just about this place in particular. She said softly.

Mosura looked around. It is very beautiful here. I'm sure you get a lot of visitors.

Yeah….She said, drifting off a bit….so many memories….

Sad ones?

There was no point hiding it from Mosura, since she said it herself she can just sense things out. She stopped and looked straight ahead. Yes…this is where Tyr…died. She said, holding back the word murdered. The word would leave a very bitter taste in her mouth.

Mosura's wings dropped down till they were dragging on the floor. Oh,...I didn't know. I mean, I wouldn't have let you come back here-

It's alright. The first time coming back here was unbearable, but it gets easier. It's been a year since I came by the lake, but I want you to think so little of me if I didn't follow. It's sad really, I used to like this place so much, but now it's just…"Dirty."

Did they tell you what happened? Or was that a secret as well? Mosrua asked.

She shook her head. No, my Sire told me though it was his way to defend himself since I accused him of ending Tyr's life by his own claws. In some way, I'm glad My Sire wasn't the one who gave him the fatal blow, Kaiju knows I would have never forgiven him, but part of me didn't want to know the details. Apparently, when he left he came here only to get ambushed by the Parasites. I would lie awake at night, wondering if he tried to call for help or being such a prideful male thought he could take care of it all by himself. Did his Parasite Fling set him up or was she too killed for going against her Colony? I later found out there was a dead female parasite near his body and assumed it was the one he was seeing. After I was told about his death, I so badly wanted to see him, not caring how gruesome it would be, but by the time I mustered up the nerve, he was already taken away.

Mosura jumped down from Persephone's back and settled herself down in the moist wet sand. Do you really want to see him?

Startled, the Princess nodded. Yes of course! Just one more time and I'll finally feel…better.

Mosura took a deep breath, I know a way you can see him and actually talk to him, but in order to do this, I would have to connect with you and look deep into your subconscious mind. Using your memories, I can bring Tyr right in front of you to talk to.

Persephone tilted her head, confused. Isn't that like remembering a memory? I see him all the time in my head.

True, but this would feel more real to the point you can actually touch his face if you like. I've done it a few times with other kaijus and according to them, it felt like they were talking to their loved ones despite it being an Illusion. It really helped them seek closure. She happened to look back at her King before whispering, Something I really hoped my King would try. He lost a good friend long ago and still refuses to give this thing a try.

Why? If he truly misses his friend, wouldn't he want to see him?

It's just too painful for him and as he puts it too "disturbing." To him it will just take him back to the resentment and anger he buried so long ago. I know he blames himself, but he told me there was a time he hated his Companion for leaving him like that.

The Princess frowned. I know that feeling, but even though deep down it was death that took him.

There was more to it. I was there. His companion knew he wasn't going to make it out alive so he distracted the Fallen Star long enough for me and my King to escape. It took him decades to open up about it and to accept it, but during that time, it really damaged him.

Persephone sighed, I don't want to end up like that...She said, looking at the ground before taking a deep breath. Alright, what do I have to do?

Mosura smiled. Ok, I need you to lie down and face me.

Lie down?

I apologize, but due to my height, it's easier for me to touch your forehead with mine for a long period of time.

Persephone nodded. Fair enough….before lying down with her claws and arms tucked underneath her. Letting her long vines coil on the ground. So sad, because every second it seems like the hidden depression was slowly killing her beautiful flowers again.

Ok, now I want you to close your eyes, empty your mind of all the negative stuff and just picture the one time and place you were the happiest. When that memory pops up, I'm going to transform our surroundings to it.

Unsure, Persephone closed her eyes and started to relax. Remembering a time when she was the happiest. Which was hard for her to pinpoint. She was always a happy kaiju, she can't even think of a time when she was a calf that she was sad or lonely. As the Princess, the Herd treated her well till of course the whole Tyr and Parasite thing. She winced, trying to push out that bad sense and focus on a happy memory. Next thing she felt was Mosura pressing her forehead up against hers and a strange pattern of pinches and swirls began to take over. The same feeling it felt when she accidentally fell in the deep part of the lake when she was a calf, the way the water pushed and spun her around when she was drowning before getting rescued by her Sire.

Relax…She heard Mosura's voice echoing in her mind.

Soon the black surroundings began to sharp and form and colored into the night sky and her favorite field of flowers. Oh she remembered those stars, they were bright and white like her shiny pearl eyes. She remembered the way the air smelled of flower fragrant, chrisp water and…Tyr's scent.

Mosura? She asked, her voice echoing as she slowly brought her attention down from the sky to the ground. Right in front of her was Mosura smiling big with her blue eyes glowing bright…This is…bizarre. Everything seems so real, but why does it feel like I'm floating? And…and…why is everything echoing?

We're in your memory, so of course things are going to feel different. You get used to it after doing this for centuries. Mosura said, flapping her wings. Even when she moved her wings so gently, they echoed loudly in Peresphone's illusion. This is a pretty memory. The night Tyr proposes to you.

Persephone nodded, Yes, oh, it was a surprise. I mean we met when we were calves and just grew close….I knew I was falling for him, but he never showed the same way till this night when he asked me to come to the flower field to talk.

Speaking of "Talking." if you want to speak to him. He's right behind you. Mosura said, pointing at said Kaiju with her claw.

Persephone shot up, causing her vines and flowers to float and filling the light air with petals. He's here? Her voice echoed.

Calm down, please. Mosura said, grabbing her to relax her and concentrate. We're connected, if you panic it's going to hurt me as well, remember that.

Sorry. The Princess said, taking a deep breath. So when I turn around, he's going to be there. Are you sure it's him?

It must be, I'm just going off by your memory. When you see him, you're going to see what you remember of him.

Can he talk back?

Mosura nervously shrugged, In a way and not in a way. If he does talk back, it's just what you want to hear or remember. It's not on his own because again this is going off by your memory of him. Any more questions?

Persephone swallowed. Um….Gojira isn't seeing this, is he?

No, he blocked this out way before we got started. He's keeping a watch though to make sure no one disturbs us. This isn't exactly an easy task, no doubt I'll sleep for the rest of the evening and night from this.

I see….Persephone said, unable to move for some reason. Just feeling the floaty feeling between her claws, body, and vines. It felt like she wasn't even touching the ground.

Mosura waited patiently before looking back at the one the Princess so badly wanted to see. Are you going to turn around?

At this point, Persephone wanted to cry. I've waited so long to see him. His face and-and-and I even came up with a speech….stupid speech really….because every time I say it out loud, it sounds like I want to sing.

I sing all the time, it brings out more passion in my opinion, but we'll never know unless you turn around. Mosura said, using her head to nudge the Princess's arm to turn. It's going to be ok, I'm here for you.

Finally, Persephone turned around and had to take a step back from the site in front of her. It was just like how it was the night Tyr proposed to her. Youthful, just like she was, with a few battle scars that went across his face, broad shoulders and built arms. His eyes were pure white without a hint of colorful gloss the females would have and they matched the shiny, sharp teeth that were sticking out of his closed mouth. Even the horns were the same, with one broken and the other chiseled and sharp to make up for the lack of the other one. She spent so much time memorizing his face, she knew exactly where the patches of moss set on those horns. Like so many young males, his mountain top was still building up, covered in grass and half-grown trees. Tyr would always brag about how he's going to work his way up and build an armor body that would make the Fallen Star go back where it came from. His face was firm, blank, as if waiting for her to say something or in this case, make him say something.

She was speechless. oh-oh-kaiju…She took a few steps forward without taking her eyes off of him. Everything, all her problems, her family, her friends, her "Arrange Courtship," didn't matter at this very moment. Just her and her first love….It's really him….She whispered. She took a few more steps forward till her snout was mere inches away from his. Sadly, he was cold. There was no warmth in this fake Tyr, she couldn't even feel his breath out of his snout, but his scent was there since it was something she could never forget. The smell of fresh moss, dirt, and blood.

Her fake world started to shake from the thought of the blood causing her head to hurt and to hear Mosura groan in the background. Easy Persephone. You need to concentrate. If you get distressed it's going to hurt your head.

Persephone couldn't help it. The smell of blood just brought her back to that day when everything fell apart and sure enough her surroundings started to change again. Copying the stress and despair and turning the once beautiful land into black tar.

You're so prideful. You didn't bother to hide her blood. That was the first thing I saw and smelled on your body…the nasty red stain was everywhere..

Tyr started to smile, showing off all his sharp teeth with dried blood appearing out of nowhere…My Princess.

She couldn't help, but chuckle. Feeling herself sinking in the tar. You never call me that. That was HER name. Wasn't it? That was her, who was watching us? Did she know about us?

Persephone, you're sinking. You need to calm down or else I'm going to have to disconn-

The Princess felt her head throbbing, forcing her to shut her eyes tight. No, I need to do this. Just a little bit longer.

It was just a parasite, it meant nothing. It shouldn't count. Tyr's voice echoed around them.

Stop saying that! Persephone screamed. You kept going back to her! Those things, those disgusting things….how could you…did she love you too. How could you love something like THAT over me!?

You know I never loved you. No wonder everyone thinks so low of you. The sweet and kind Princess, so heartbroken, sent me to an early grave. Tyr mocked. And now look at you, so desperate to move on, you're willing to let a strange male take my place.

She shut her eyes tighter. Sinking even faster in the tar til the point she had to tear her vines out, breaking them in half. That's not true.

Persephone, this is what you are feeling. This is the guilt that's consuming you. If you want this to work and seek closure, you can't let it win. You need to stand up to it. You can't let him control you like this anymore.

You can't replace me, Persephone.

Persephone wanted to scream, Tyr, will you please be Quiet!-

0000000000

Mosura pushed herself away from the Princess after feeling a sharp, nearly impaled sense, flying across her mind and fell backwards. Landing on her back hard and nearly crushing her left wing. Persephone stood up, breathing hard, while looking around to make sure they were back to reality. She did a quick spin, viewing the lake, the wide, empty field and Gojira looking at her funny before turning her attention back to Mosura, who was slowly getting up. What happened? She asked, only to hissed from the sudden pain in her head.

Mosura picked herself up and began to rub her head. I had to disconnect. You couldn't keep yourself calm and collective.

Well, I'm sorry, but I wasn't expecting that. It felt…he felt…real. There were so many things I wanted to say to him…and when I finally saw him…the anger and guilt ...She lowered her head and just stood there. Feeling defeated.

Mosura nuzzled her softly. Hey, it's a start. It usually takes some of my companions a few tries before mustering up the courage and strength to talk to their loved ones. If you want we can try again later.

Persephone shook her head. I'm not sure. After that, visiting his grave seems a lot easier to handle.

How about we just sleep on it for the night. Give me a chance to collect myself. Mosura asked, pointing to her head. She can already feel the throbbing headache coming on and when she looked back at her King, it was starting to affect him as well by the way he was wincing with his eye slightly twitching.

Persephone nodded. Alright, it's getting dark anyway and I really need to check on Aoide to see how she's doing and talk to my Sire about something….

Part IX

By nightfall, Mosura and her King were back in the open field with her King curled up in a tight ball and her resting in his arms. A small way for him to comfort her and her massive headache and she couldn't complain. The radiation coming from his scales was nice against her fur and the low heart beat sound from his chest was very relaxing. Her eyes were heavy, but she kept them open so she could stare at the glowing bugs flying around in the tall grass along with the crickets chirping. Very, very peaceful. She let out a big yawn which caught her King's attention.

You need to get some rest. He said, leaning down to nuzzle the top of her forehead.

She giggled quietly to herself. He made sure they were far enough away from the Herd to have complete and total privacy in order for him to show this form of affection. I'm fine. I have too much on my mind to rest.

You're stressing yourself out over this. Did you honestly think she was going to be stable enough for that "Mind Trick" of yours, Mosura?

Yes and no, but I had to think of something. She asked me if I could invade her Sire's thoughts in order to find her Dead Love's grave and you know I can't do that.

As much as I don't want to get involved and leave this place, it might help this situation out faster. He said, like it was the most simplest thing to do.

She sat up and stared at his towering features. Don't say such a thing, my King. I could never invade someone's mind like that.

She just wants to know where the damn grave is. Just find the spot, put it in her head and let her figure out what to do next.

I know you want to leave this place, but this takes time, Gojira. You can't rush her to heal her damaged heart. Trust me, I know the feeling of not seeking closure and you do too. She said, looking at him, straight into his glowing gold eyes.

This is more than about us leaving here. I don't want you to get yourself all stressed over some Princess who can't be helped. Like I said, so what if her"Love" fucked around with a Parasite. She needs to get over it or if you want, let me have some one-on-one word with that spineless male, Rock to charm her faster. I mean isn't it his job to do this shit instead of you?

His name is Stone, my Love

Same thing. They're rocks…little annoying pebbles and dirt clogs. Except for Twigs. He's ok. He said, with a smirk and she already regrets her King finding out about Methuselah's old nickname.

She couldn't help, but chuckled, My Love, you make it sound like Love is so…easy and quick. Like you actually believe you have the power to hound two kaijus to fall in love and be done with it.

Well, if I had it my way, I'm sure I can. Besides they don't have to be "In Love" just another to stand each other, do the deed and have loud, annoying brats.

She huffed before pressing her little mouth against his tightly shut one. I love you, but you can be so ridiculous sometimes.

He gripped her sides as gently as possible, hearing her slightly hiss from his nails digging into her flesh, and placed her down on her side. Her large, bright wings covered the grass like a colorful sea before dulling down to a faded blue, matching the same light in his back plates. You need to rest. Your head isn't the only one hurting.

Her eyes started to get heavy again. Would you see me differently if I invaded someone's mind without permission?

No, it's rare to see you use such trickery. I might find it entertaining. Her King chuckled before holding her close and letting his head rest on top of her side. Just think the Flawless Mosura could actually have a bad side.

That's not funny…even if it might help the Princess in the long run, I could lose trust with her Sire. He could spread the word and soon others will see me no different than the Fallen Star.

You're not going to damage the old pile of bones's mind or use his deep secrets to gain power. You're just trying to find a grave site. Like I said, just give her the location and let her risk her life to find the corpse.

She huffed and twiddled her claws for a moment. It just feels wrong.

Her King rolled her eyes and snorted. Filling the cool air with a tiny warm fog. You know, I did a lot of bad things for the greater good, right?

She shrugged, Yes, though you still refuse to tell me exactly what and I respect that enough not to pry in your deep dark thoughts.

Either way, I'm not quite proud of what I did, but in the end, it was just my way to slow down the Fallen Star's terror.

She sighed, I don't know…

Hey, it's just one time. You said it yourself you want to help the Princess and I want to get out of here. What's the worst that can happen if you just do this one simple invasion. And the next time someone asks you, I'll make sure to say no.

She shook her head, she admired her King for wanting to help even though it was for his own selfish reasons, but she can understand. He doesn't like to stay in the same place for long, but still….She let out a big yawn again. Let me sleep on it. She said, closing her eyes. Her head was making it hard for her to stay focused and think.

Then sleep.

He didn't have to repeat himself. She was already out.

0000000

It was hard for her to sleep. The stress of helping the Princess was too much for her to relax and let sleep take over. Not to mention, since she connected with the Princess, she could now feel her restless dream since night is normally when she is at her weakest. She was used to blocking her King's dreams, it didn't take him long to make a mental wall so she wouldn't see what goes on in the dark, but it's different with Peresphone. Her mind felt like vines were pulling her in different directions and the stress and guilt of letting all her Herd down because of her stupid heart were overpowering. All the stress and emotions were making her shift and kick in her sleep and forming a painful pulse behind her eyes. After what seemed like forever, everything came to a halt, giving her time to snap her eyes wide up and look up at the clear, night sky.

She sat up from her spot, trying hard not to disturbed her King who was sleeping peacefully while holding her close in his arms. From the looks of it, she didn't sleep much since it was still pitch dark where the only source of life came from the half-eaten moon. She sighed and rolled out of her King's embrace to stretch out her legs and fluff up her matted fur. She looked back at her King, and wondered if she should wake him up for company or just let him sleep. She could go out for a fly just to clear her head, but since they were near a large Parasite Colony, that might not be a good idea. Mosura groaned, she could sense the Princess was awake and didn't know how to approach her knowing she might bring up her rather risky idea. Could she really do it, though. It wouldn't be that hard since she was sure the Alpha was asleep and Mountain Kaijus were too prideful to have guards around them. All she had to do was touch his forehead and search for memories that had Tyr in them.

Mosura, you know I can't sleep with your mind wandering all over the place. Just go invade the male's thoughts and get it over with. Her King muttered in his sleep before turning till he was resting on his side.

She sighed and spread out her wings to take flight. Already regretting the thing she was about to do.

00000000

After flying around and making sure not to wake up any of the Herd, she flew over to the flower field to find Persephone up and just enjoying the night air and the scent of the flowers. Further away, she could see Stone sleeping peacefully in the same spot where she first met him. Loyal Young male, looking out for the Princess despite her confused feelings for him. She floated down towards Persephone who waited patiently for her to land on the soft ground before speaking.

I see I'm not the only one who couldn't sleep. The Princess said, sadly, looking very tired.

She folded her wings in and groomed out her antennas. Well, to be honest, I was sensing your distress and decided to come by to see if you were Ok.

Persephone frowned, I apologies, I keep forgetting your mind works differently than mine. This is just one of those nights where I can't shut my head off. Thinking too much can be quite a flaw.

I know, you were feeling guilty because you feel like you're letting your whole herd down.

Wouldn't you? The Princess said, twirling her claw in the flowers, After I left you by the lake, I…I went by to talk to my Sire. He could tell something was up because I couldn't even look at him. I finally told him, and begged him one last time to tell me where Tyr's body was. He got upset, not mad because he didn't want to cause a scene, and couldn't believe I would bring up now knowing Stone was counting me and flat out refused. I pleaded with him and he told me he didn't want to discuss it anymore. Saying how shameful it was for me to still love a corpse with no honorable value. I…I messed everything up, Mosura.

What do you mean? You can't help how you feel. The heart works differently than the mind, Princess.

The guilt in the Princess grew as she shook her head in despair. Charon overheard our conversation and thinks this courtship and alliance is not going to work out. There's no point forcing this on either of his sons if I'm not going to comply. Plus it wouldn't be fair for me if I'm not ready to make that sort of commitment. She said, before sitting down to exhale. Exhausted from the lack of sleep and just the emotional roller coaster she was on. I'm suppose to look out for my Herd and give them an easier life after the Fallen Star's terror and…and I can't even do that. I'm not like our Males, I can't just swallow my feelings and go on as if nothing had happened. And Stone…he just looked so upset and didn't know what to say to me. I think I hurt his feelings.

Mosura frowned. So when are they leaving?

In the morning or afternoon. It's going to be a long journey home so they're going to need all the rest they can get. Zeus looked happy to leave though he did ask me if there's a way you could convince Gojira to challenge him before he goes.

Mosura couldn't help, but giggle bitterly at the thought. I'll keep that in mind, though I would not recommend it. My King has been on edge since coming here and might lose control of his strength.

Persephone smiled down at her sadly before looking up at the sky. This is going to be bad. How am I going to tell the rest of the Herd about this tomorrow? My Sire is not even speaking to me over all this.

Twiddling her claws again she took a deep breath. Is visiting Tyr's grave really going to find you closure? She asked. Persephone looked down at her once again, confused so Mosura decided to continue on. I'm not happy with what I did and this is just a one time thing and you need to promise me you will not tell anyone how you got this information, please?

Raising a brow, Persephone nodded, I promise, but what information are you talking about?

Mosura swallowed, I know the location…

The Princess's eyes widened. You-you-you know? Does that mean?

I did it before flying over here. It…wasn't that hard, you're Sire was alone and a heavy sleeper. Me being a lightweight to begin with, he didn't hear me sneaking up on him and it's easier to read his memories when he's asleep.

And…He's alright…you didn't harm him?

No, of course not. He might feel a slight headache in the morning, but it will pass after drinking lots of water. She was taken aback, nearly falling over by the Princess's powerful nuzzle to her tiny body.

Oh Mosura, I don't know how to thank you enough for this. Persephone said, her eyes quickly watering up with tears.

Please Persephone, it's not that easy. Mosura said, gently pushing the much talker kaiju back. This is your Sire's memory. You're going to see it in his view point and what I saw…well, it's…-

I'm going to see Tyr's dead body, aren't I? She asked and Mosura nodded. Blood and guts…Something she's been sheltered all her life thanks to her Sire trying to keep her safe. She nodded, trying to put on a firm face. So be it. I need this. I need to find closure.

Alright, just relax, this might hurt a bit. Mosura said, raising her head up to touch foreheads with Persephone.

Persephone closed her eyes and flinched from a sudden pinch followed by a dull sinking feeling. After blinking a few times, she could see the memory playing through the eyes of her Sire. Him slowly walking up to the gruesome sight by the lake with two of their Followers. There he stood, right next to the dead body of her first love in a pool of blood with Parasite's eggs scattered all over the place. From the looks of it, Tyr put up a fight and she was sad to see someone as strong and confident being split open and used as a Host. She had to bite her tongue to keep herself from moving away from Mosura and force herself to continue to see what the others were hiding from her. Her Sire blinked, calling Tyr a disgrace before giving the corpse a resentful shoved. The push caused tiny bugs to fly up from the corpse before he turned his attention over to the other dead body further away. There she saw the dead female parasite, beaten to death and left to rot or be used as food for Scavengers. The Parasites were such awful things, they didn't even show any mercy for their fellow members. She blinked and soon she could see her Sire leading the other two males away from their turf while dragging the Tyr's body across the dirt. Leaving a trail of blood behind them. One of the males asked her Sire why they were going to bury him to have her Sire respond he didn't want the body to attract other predators and a way to completely forget Tyr ever existed. She blinked again and could see one of the male digging a hole in the ground while the other watched for any bystanders. Once the hole was deep enough, her Sire pushed the body into it, getting a satisfying thud before using his head to scoop the dirt into the hole. She blinked one last time, hoping she could get a glimpse of where they were and saw her Sire and the others leaving. Her Sire suddenly stopped and looked back at the grave, giving her a full view where they were. There were mountain tops in the background, the land was covered in dead trees and dirt. There were dozens of rocks and boulders piled and divided into three claw-made hills, something Flyers would use as lookout points. The ground was littered with leftover bones of the poor souls that went too close to that location her Sire dared to enter. She knows this place.

She pulled away from Mosura and took a step back. With wide eyes and a slant jaw, she stared down at Mosura with an unsure face. Mosura swallowed. Are you ok? Did the location look familiar to you?

Persephone blinked and for a long time, didn't say a thing which was odd to Mosura. The Princess spent the whole entire day begging and pleading for this moment and all she got was silence. But she can tell something was brainstorming in the young mountain kaiju's mind, by the way her eyes were trailing from one particular spot to another, and she was getting a very eerie feeling about it. Finally, Persephone took a deep breath and smiled. Yes, I know where that spot is. We call that place the Three Rock Tower. My Sire took me there one time when I was an Adolescent.

Mosura was down right confused. Persephone was way too calm over this new discovery. Ok….

But that place is very far and….She sighed…there's no way my Sire would let me go even with an escort and especially now with his friend and Stone leaving tomorrow.

I'm sure with a deep talk with your Sire, he might finally understand and let you visit the grave.

Persephone smiled doubtfully at her. Sure, Mosura, but I doubt it. At least I know where he's buried. He may be a jerk, but at least he knows he's not forgotten.

Mosura smiled, So what do you want to do now?

Persephone shook her head. Not sure…I guess with Alpha Charon leaving, things will go back to normal with me being the laughing stock of this herd and now the one who ruined everyone's future.

No, don't think that way. Mosura said, smiling a little to cheer her up. How about we settle down and get a good night's sleep and tomorrow, we'll talk to Alpha Charon about staying a little longer so you and Stone can figure out things. Or we can talk to your Sire about visiting the site. I mean, what do we have to lose, right?

Persephone nodded, Sleep does sounds good right now. She said, settling down with the purple flowers. Um, can you stay with me for the night?

I can, my King is a heavy sleeper, I'll be back in the morning way before he wakes up. She giggled.

With that she settled down in front of Persephone, who smiled at her, before closing her eyes and letting her vines cover her face, and laid her head down on the cool dirt. She wanted till she was sure the Princess was breathing gently before closing her eyes as well. She let out a light hum, but it was too good to be true, because the next thing she knew, she felt someone tapping her roughly on her shoulder. She groaned and curled herself up into a tight ball and tried to go back to sleep. Only to have another rough tap hitting her on her back.

Hey…hey…um…Mosura…

She let out another groan before opening her eyes to see the sky still dark with a small peak of light coming thanks to the early morning sun. She tilted her head up to see Stone looking down at her with a concerned face. She yawned, Stone…what's wrong?

He cleared his throat. Um, I don't want to cause a panic, but where's Persephone?

She blinked and quickly turned over to gaze at the spot Persephone was supposed to be only to find a spot of crushed flowers and disturbed dirt. She quickly got up and looked around. Persephone?

Stone took a step back. I woke up early and didn't see her so I searched all over the land and even went down to the lake and the Twins didn't see her either. Though they weren't exactly positive about that since they both were asleep when I found them and-

She didn't have to think twice where Persephone was. A harsh lesson she learned the hard way when she took off to face Nyx so long ago without telling a soul. Oh no, the grave!

Stone shut his mouth for a second before speaking, The Grave?

The grave…the one her First love is buried in. She left to visit the grave.

Stone's eyes bulge. She what?! She took off at night to visit some grave? Alone? Why would she do that?

She bit her claw nervously as guilt began to appear on her face.

00000000000

Her King was not happy….

And normally when that happens it's because she did something he consider stupid. Still, he remains calm in order not to wake up the rest of the Herd. After telling him what happened, he blinked a few times to help himself wake up before exhaling annoyingly. So let me get this straight. You actually took my advice for once and gave the Princess the location of her dead Asshole Ex-mate's grave.

She nodded while looking at him uneasily. It looked like her King was trying hard not to explode. Yes, she told me she recognize the place-

Stone looked a little spooked from her confession. You can actually pry into other Kaijus' thoughts?

-And lied to you so you can drop your guard and go to sleep so she can take off at night where Predators tend to come out to hunt…right? Gojira asked, just to make sure everything was clear.

Right? She nodded.

He then turned his attention over to Stone, who was sharing the same guilt like she did. And somehow she left without you noticing. Knowing your one job was to keep an eye on her.

I didn't know she was going to leave. Females tend to stay in the Herd. That's why we need to find her. She has no fighting skills so there's no way she can make it out there alone. Stone said, in fear. If something happens to her, her Sire is going to chop my head off or worse, I might get a "Horn Breaking" for this stupid neglect!

Her King raised a brow, I'm sorry, WE? This isn't our problem. She was promised to you so if you want to rescue her, here's your chance to prove you're not some second-grade Sap. He said, pointing at the young mountain kaiju bitterly.

My King, don't be so rude. We need to help. It's my fault she left in the first place.

No, it's not. You just told her the location. You didn't pull on her vines and force her to leave to go find it. If the grave is that important to her, so be it. Let her die for her stupidity.

Hey, don't call her that. Stone said in defense only to get a growl from her King.

She sighed, Goji, we promised Methuselah to help the girl. Sending her to an early grave is not helping. I need to make this right. I won't be able to forgive myself knowing she is out there lost and alone. She has family and friends here.

Her King groaned in frustration. You saw the location in the old Bastard's memory, do you even know where it is?

Not really, but she knew. Some place they called the Three Rock Tower?

Stone choked, What?! She's going there? That's Muto Prime's Turf. Those rock towers are used for the Flyers to keep watch!

All the color drained from her body. So that's why Persephone was really quiet about it. The Princess knew the location was around Muto's territory and didn't want to say anything knowing she would have prevented her from going. So that's the reason her Sire kept it a huge secret.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it now. She's as good as dead. Her King said, shaking his head.

My King, don't say such a thing. Maybe she hasn't gotten that far.

It's been hours, I'm pretty sure someone would've spotted her by now. Even if we left right now, there's no way we'll catch up to her on time. Her King said, then noticed and felt her head calculating a plan. His eyes widened and he glared at her. Don't even think about it, Mosura.

I can find her faster if I fly and you know it. She said, before taking a few steps back.

I am not going to let you risk your life flying over there knowing the place is full of parasites. He said, taking a few steps towards her. If he times himself right, he could prevent her from leaving by stepping on one of her wings.

Sadly, she was already a step ahead of him. She's out there because of me. She needs me. She said, getting away from him till she was far enough to take flight in the air.

Dammit, Mosura! Get back here! You know it takes both of us to fight off the Parasites.

I'm sorry. She said, before taking off as fast as she could, not even bothering to look back or worry if her King would shoot her with his beam.

Mosura!

Gojira stomped his foot in frustration. Dammit, this is why I don't like socializing. He muttered to himself before glaring down at the young mountain kaiju. Come on, we need to hurry before your Princess becomes food or a Host. He said, storming off in Mosura's direction.

Stone bit his lip, Right, Right. He said, before following the lizard.

Part X

~If you, if you could return

Don't let it burn

Don't let it fade

I'm sure I'm not being rude

But it's just your attitude

It's tearing me apart

It's ruining every day…~

Her head was pounding thanks to her King screaming at her through their Connection to turn back, but was forced to ignore it in order to concentrate on her main task. She flew as high as she could and kept the glow in her wings as dull as possible to avoid being seen. The only light she had was the very tiny bit of sun that was coming up. It would be at least another hour or two before sunrise so she needed to hurry to avoid being seen. She finally caught a break when she started to sense the Princess's present, meaning she was getting close to the young female and could smell the scent of her flowers in the air. She lowered herself down to get a better look at the wasteland and could see petals scattered in the dirt as well as footprints, making a sloppy trail for her to follow. After some more flying she saw three tall piles of stones in the distance, the same ones she saw in the Alpha's memories and decided to land to walk the rest of the way.

Persephone? She called out while keeping her voice low so she wouldn't draw attention to herself. She flinched when she came across a few bones and quickly looked away from the gruesome sight. Persephone?

The small gust of wind blew in her face, making dirt and petals stick to her furry cheeks, and she looked down at the ground. More petals dance past her as if telling her she wasn't too far from the Princess. Although she was very upset from seeing so many petals. A harsh clue that the Princess was under a lot of stress and sadness if she was losing so many. She was glad to have them around to help her. A small chill went down her body, the place around here was quite eerie and quiet even for it being night. As if other kaijus and small creatures knew not to wander around this certain area. She could actually smell the blood and stench of Parasites in the air. She wasn't much when it comes to food or being a Host, but the fact that most parasites know about her and her King…if she gets caught, they will kill her slowly.

Persephone? She called out again and noticed the wind blowing the pink petals in a certain direction that she was compelled to follow. At the far left rock tower, she spotted the Princess with her back against her. Staring at the ground that had small patches of grass. She didn't say a word, thinking it rude to say something when someone was visiting the Dead, and slowly walked her way towards the young female. It wasn't till she was just a few yards away from Persephone when the Princess looked back to get a glimpse of her before turning her attention to the patches of grass. Mosura looked around, let out a small, soft, sigh before taking a seat next to Persephone.

After a few moments of silence, Persephone finally spoke. I'm sorry. She said, and Mosura knew right off the back what she was apologizing for. I really am, but I knew if I told you the grave was near Prime's Colony, you wouldn't let me go.

Perhaps, still, after going against something I swear I would never do, you could've at least trusted me. She said, staring at the patches of grass. In the middle of it laid one of Persephone's vines. Pluck out of her own head and left in a coil fashion shape as a small gift to the Dead. She looked up to see Persephone lost in her own thoughts to react to her little sly remark, so she cleared her throat and changed the subject. So this is the grave?

The Princess nodded. Yes.

How can you tell? She had to ask.

The Princess slightly smiled though it was bitter sweet. When Mountain Kaijus die and bury, you could say we grow the softest and greenest grass. A nice way to live on sort of speak and as you can see from this wasteland, this is the only patch of grass around.

And it is beautiful. The scent even smells fresh despite being here for so long. Mosura said, while still keeping her guard up for any parasites. They tend to hunt at night, using their black armor to hide in the dark. How are you feeling? She asked.

Persephone blinked before lowering her head. To be honest, I'm not sure. When I got here, all I could do was sit here and stare down at it. I spent so many years waiting for this moment and even memorizing was I going to say to him when I got here, but then everything went blank.

You're thinking too hard again, Princess. Don't think with your head, but you want to say from the heart. Just relaxed and let all that bottled up feeling come out.

Persephone nodded before looking at her nervously. You think…maybe we can try that little "Mind Trick" again? I mean, now that I'm actually here, it will feel like I'm actually talking to him this time.

Unsure since that would leave them vulnerable from the outside world, but if that's what the Princess needed to seek closure (and to get them out of here faster) she reluctantly agreed. Alright, but you need to promise me afterwards we leave and head back home. Last thing we want is your Sire to wake up to find you gone. Letting a small giggle out to lighten the mood a bit while jumping on top of Persephone's back. Resting on top of the Princess's head, she pressed the side of her right face against the young kaiju and inhaled. Now relax just like before and close your eyes.

0000000

~I swore, I swore I would be true

And honey so did you

So why were you holding her hand?

Is that the way we stand

Were you lying all the time

Was it just a game to you?..."

Persephone did what she was told and slowly closed her eyes, but this time when she opened them, she was still in the same spot. Everything was the same except for the floaty, echoing vibe she felt around her and in her body. Her vines were once again floating all around her along with her lost Pink Petals. Mosura was no longer around, no doubt wanting to give her privacy since this is something between her and her Dead Love. She blinked before letting her eyes trail forward to see Tyr standing right in front of her just like the last time. Yet, she wasn't flabbergasted or speechless from the mere sight of him and his smug look. This time though, she kept her anger and bitterness down in order to keep Tyr's mouth shut.

She swallowed and could feel Mosura's presence and voice. Say something to him.

The Princess sighed and looked at the Illusion with grief. Tyr….She chuckled slightly from the bittersweet taste of this situation….wow, it's even hard to say your name without choking up…Oh kaiju, she was so tired of crying because she knew deep, deep down in her depressing mind, he wasn't worth it. Still, there was grief and pain and pity for him.

I'm…I'm…I'm so sorry. She started, already feeling the sting of her eyes wanting to tear up. I don't care how awful you were, you didn't deserve such a painful death…I spent so many years feeling guilty about making you leave…I was so hurt and angry…,but I need to forgive myself for that because I know you wouldn't even care…and despite everything…I miss you, Tyr…even when everyone degrades me about it,...I miss you so much…your voice…and those rare times you were nice actually to me…when I thought you loved me…She said, looking away to hide the tears that were blurring her vision. She took a deep breath to compose herself before staring at those empty fake eyes again. Even in this Floaty world, they were still full of pride and ego and she couldn't help, but remember their last fight. The yelling and screaming and shame and the embarrassing, harassing aftermath.

There is so much I want to say to you. I want to hate you for all the things you did to me, but I know I can't. I'm not the type of Mountain that could hate…but being attached to you…it's tearing me apart. It's ruining every day for me. You promised me, we were going to be happy. I swore to you, I would be true and my love so did you…but…but you were lying all this time. It was just a game to you…

Now she was crying, but just like Tyr when he was alive, he didn't show any type of remorse or concern for her tears. I was such a fool…

~But I'm in so deep

You know I'm such a fool for you

You got me wrapped around your finger

Do you have to let it linger?

Do you have to, do you have to,

Do you have to let it linger?~

~Linger by the Cranberries

Oh, I thought the world of you. I thought nothing could go wrong, but I was wrong. I was so wrong with you. She said, now looking at him, trying so hard to make sure he didn't speak. So many times I would spend at night, wide awake and wondering if there was any smudge of truth in your words. Things wouldn't be so confused, and I wouldn't feel so used. But in your own sick way, you always knew how much I wanted to be with you. She shook her head in frustration, But I'm in so deep…you knew what a fool I was to you. Tossed me away like I was nothing and I'm sure while I was thinking of you, you never thought of me or my pain during your last breath.

The surroundings around her begin to melt again like tar, rolling to the floor and leaving a black void. She was trying to keep it together, but it was hard when all the feelings she kept to herself for so long were finally coming out.

You're such a crybaby, Persephone….Tyr said, his voice echoing all around them.

She sighed. She couldn't imagine Tyr comforting her, but even in her dreams and this Illusion, that wasn't the Tyr she knew or grew up with. Just a lesson on how Love is so fickle and fragile and sometimes cruel.

Reading her thoughts she could feel Mosura soft voice tuning in. Take it as a way to learn from your past mistakes. Now you know what a good male is supposed to be like.

She smiled at the thought before looking at Tyr again, who now had a bored expression on his face. Clearly unimpressed by her words and broken heart. I…I forgive you Tyr and I will always love you no matter what…but, I need to let you go and-and-and I hope you found peace wherever you are.

Fake Tyr rolled his eyes. You can't replace me.

Maybe that was true, but time heals all wounds whether it took days, months or years, they will heal and soon she will be able to give herself to another male that will love her and cherish her without him doubting where her heart lies.

Then something hit her…

Right in the chest with such force, she fell backwards in her mind and the outside world. Her connection with Mosura painfully detached itself, like someone ripping her vines out of her head and roots and landed hard on her side. She let out a small groan and opened her eyes to see herself back to reality only to look up to see a pair of red glowing eyes staring down at her.

The female parasite grins, letting drool drip down to her chin.

Well, look at this Brothers and Sister, an Intruder.

Persephone tried to get up, but she was frozen in place from the site of the Female Parasite. A mature one to be exact by her height, long legs and arms and the dull spikes on her back. For a moment, she thought she was looking at the same one she saw that night when she was Tyr, but that couldn't be. The parasite died with him. Killed by her own Kind as punishment. Plus, the wicket smile on this mature female didn't look like the other one. She didn't have that sense of evil either, it wasn't her-

She snapped out of her thoughts when she felt something landing behind her and she looked back to see two male parasites steadying themselves after a rough landing while folding in their wings. It was only then she noticed Mosura behind her, out cold from the hard hit or by how roughly their connection was interrupted. What made it worse, when she fell, she landed right on the tiny Moth's wing, slightly tearing it.

Oooh, a female mountain one no less. You rarely see these pretty things out here…alone. A younger female said, right in Persephone's face. Which made her jump up quickly. Hissing from a sudden jolt of pain in her right leg. Terrified, she swallowed down her fear and stood above Mosura to shield her as the four Mutos took a couple of steps closer to her.

The Mature one spat. Ugh, I wouldn't call these things "Pretty." They stink like pollen and fresh air.

The young one giggled. I love pretty things. They make me want to tear them about and spill her blood all over those beautiful flowers. She said, while grabbing some of Persephone's vines to get a better look at them. Persephone pulled them away in disgust. Getting a rather offended look from the young Muto.

The Mature one pushed the younger female back a bit before approaching Persephone. Standing as tall as she could to strike fear in her. So what brings you here, Mountain. Do you have any idea what we do to kaijus who step out of their little safe place?

And she brought us a gift too, Spike. One of the males said, before picking up one of Mosura's wings.

The young female gasped, No way, isn't that the rare moth that's been killing off our brothers and sisters.

The Mature one, Spike, tilted her head to see if it was true. It's hard to tell…we got a Hilltop shielding her…She said, before leaning right into Persephone's face. Step away from the moth, you pile of Rocks. The Mature one warned, showing off her long, sharp fangs.

She took a step back, feeling horrible about stepping on Mosura's wings, but it was hard for her to move or run with the Parasites closing in. Please, let us go and we won't bother again. She whispered. Feeling so out of place. She was never taught how to fight off Parasites because females were supposed to stay close to their home or be escorted.

Spike smirked before swatting her across the face with her powerful arm. Down she went and away from Mosura before she had a chance to process what happened. Next thing she knew, she was on the ground, tasting blood in her mouth and looking back in horror to see the three parasites circling around Mosura's unconscious body. Stepping on her wings while one of the males poked her small body. The one called Spike snorted. Wow, that didn't even hurt me. I forgot how weak your females are compared to your Male counterparts. What a foolish idea to come here without back-up.

Oh Kaiju, it is the rare moth. What luck for us to have her here. The young female said in glee.

Look at those wings, so colorful and dainty. I bet they taste good, right brother? One of the males said to the other.

Indeed. The other nodded before licking his lips, Let's eat her before the Lizard shows up. Or leave her in pieces for him to find.

Mother will be so proud of us when she comes back from her journey. The young female said, glee.

Spike grunted, Exactly and with that Old Bitch gone, I'm still in charge and I say we keep the moth and get the Others ready to attack the Lizard when he arrives. He may be powerful, but even he can't take us all down at once.

One of the Males chuckled, Sure, and how will you explain to Mother about our home getting destroyed? Do you honestly think he's going to go down without a fight, especially when we have her. He then gives Mosura a slight hit with his claws.

Or take away her opportunity to kill the Lizard herself. The other male said, smirking. That is so…Barb-ish of you Spike.

Spike growled while her siblings laughed and chuckled. Don't you DARE call me that! I'm Mother's newest Princess and you will not talk such shame and disgrace to me!

The young female shrugged her shoulders, You sure like to act like our Dearest Sister. Trying to look all tough and crazy and rebellion towards Mother, but we can all see it. You still bend to her Will and hoping she would forget this search for Barb and pay attention to you.

Persephone took this chance to try to get up only to fall over again from the throbbing pain on her face and the sprained ankle. She didn't know what to do. Even if she could leave, she couldn't leave Mosura, the Queen wouldn't do that if this was the other way around, so what now? They were alone and the Parasites could easily call out for more of them. Between the circle of Parasites, she could see Mosura stirring in her sleep and her antennas twitching. Good thing the siblings were too busy fighting to pay attention to the Queen to notice, but the fight was getting bad.

All of you are fucking idiots and once we're done with these two, I will make your lives miserable.

See there you go again. Trying to sound like Barb. One of the males said, smiling.

I'm better than Bard, why do you think Mother picked me after she shamed us and killed our Sister.

His Brother spits, Hey Spike, why don't you go out and screw a Mountain kaiju just like her,''

Oh, very funny brother, Ha Ha! Spike screamed before turning her attention back at her. The rage and hate was thick on her face as she quickly approached her, sneering. I'm nothing like that bitchy Mountain Fucker, and these Mountains are nothing, but space for our hatchlings to grow and eat and the fact that one of ours would stood so low to touch them just makes my blood boil. She screamed while raising her claw up to strike.

Persephone didn't know what came over her, perhaps it was the way this filthy Thing looked down on her and her Kind, or her mentioning the sick sexual relationship between a Mountain and a Parasite, the same one that destroyed everything that made her whole or just her defending herself (Seriously, does everyone in this world know about that?), either way, she uncurled her polished nails and slash the Mature female across the face, right through her eye and tearing a piece of her upper lip off. It was like her small revenge against the female who slept with Tyr and creating half of this awful mess. The Mature female screamed while blood sprayed across the cold dirt. The others were shocked from what just happened it gave Persephone the stupid courage she needed to get up and run/limp towards them. The males were small, smaller than her, so it was easy for her to shove them away from Mosura. One of the males flew back, crashing into his young sister enough for her to get off the color wings. She didn't waste time grabbing Mosura by the back of her neck with her teeth (The same way they would carry their newborn) and escape. Her heart was racing so hard it was hurting, but not as bad as her leg was. Every time she stepped down, she could hear a slight crunch and jolts of pain shooting up her spine.

You Stupid BITCH!

She was tackled by the one called Spike, sending her down hard and letting go of Mosura in the process. Mosura! She shouted only to have a clump of her vines pulled, forcing her to look up at the bloody face of the Mature female. She tried to get up, but the other female headbutted her on her side before pinning her down. Her vines were pulled again, hard, tearing a few of them out from the healthy roots. She let out a loud scream and began to trash around to get the females off of her. The Sisters brought their large, strong arms down on her back, hearing her hilltop crack and the snapping of her cherry blossom tree breaking off. In front of her, she could see the males landing right next to Mosura and use their mouths to pick her up by each wing.

Leave her alone! Persephone shouted, trying to reach out to the Moth. The only kaiju that actually took her time to listen, comfort and help her through her bad times and this is the thanks she could give. She couldn't even protect her.

I was going to be nice and use your body as a Host, but now, I'm going to crack you open and let your corpse rot in the sun! Spike screamed.

A glowing blue beam appeared right in front of her. Directing hitting the two males upper backs and wings. They dropped Mosura before scattered up into the sky.

The Young female got off of her in fear. Oh shit, it's the liz-

The parasite didn't get a chance to finish when someone rammed right into the Mature one, stabbing her right in her side with his sharp horns, and lifted her up into the air with all his strength. Persephone looked up to see Stone above her with the Parasite hook on his horns and watched in shock and awe as he tossed the female away from them. Spike landed hard on the ground, bleeding heavily from the puncture wounds and didn't get up.

Stone? She cried out in a weak voice.

He winced from the sight of her. Beaten with blood and torn out vines and flowers all around her. Are you alright? He asked before getting tackled by the young female parasite. Going as far as biting down on his left horn to throw him off balance. He swung his head sharply to the left to get her away from her and force the parasite to the ground. He was about to deliver a fatal punch to the female's stomach, but was kicked hard in the jaw. In the background, she could see Spike struggling to pick herself up, breathing fast due to blood loss, only to have one of her brothers thrown at her like a rock. The male hit the Mature female hard in the head before crashing to the ground right on his neck. Snapping it with a loud, wet snap. Her eyes trail over to Mosura who was now safely cradled in Gojira's arm while he fought off the other male. The Male flew down with his claws out and hooked onto Gojira's gills which caused him to bite down on his tongue from making any loud noises. Last thing they want is for the rest of the Colony to track them down. Gojira spun around to keep himself from falling while letting his plates light up one by one.

Get Off! He shouted before throwing his head back and hitting the Muto in the chest. He ended up tearing two of his gills in the process which nearly made him kneel down. The Male flew down only to get smack to the ground by his giant tail. He didn't waste time or mercy on the Male Flyer, he simply turned around and stomped on the parasite's head with all his strength. Crushing his skull and splattering meat and blood everywhere.

Gojira took a step back to inspect Mosura and his bleeding gills before facing her with this tired, angry look. You foolish girl! What the fuck were you thinking! He shouted at her.

Before she could answer he was tackled by the Mature Female, sending him backward, but was able to keep his footing. In one quick move, he scooped Mosura out of his arm with his tail and held her tight and away from the female. Persephone couldn't help, but be amazed by the lizard kaiju, the same one that stood far away and was cold to everyone in her herd and refused to speak to anyone, trying his hardest to protect the one he loves the most. He grabbed hold of her strong arms and pushed her back with their foreheads grinding against one another. His eyes started to glow blue and after pushing her away from him, he blasted her in her face with that infamous blue beam she heard about throughout the land. That sent the already weak parasite back with her skin sizzling and bubbling from the direct hit. Gojira didn't give her a chance to collect herself and tackled her with his right shoulder.

Spike! Brothers! Help! The younger female screamed, getting pinned hard on her back by Stone.

Covered in blood and wounds, the less experienced parasite started to panic from the much bigger Mountain male. If there were more of them, this wouldn't be a problem. She struggled, even went as far as spitting in Stone's face before getting her throat crushed by his powerful fist. Her body started to convulse for a few moments as she struggled to breathe before stopping completely. Letting the bright red light in her eyes fade to a pitiful black. Stone stepped away to breathe only to hear Gojira shouting at him.

Rock, brace yourself!

Stone's eyes widened when Gojira smashed the weak Mature Female right into the hard rock-texture surface of his side armor to break her bones and squish her internal organs. The Mature female let out a weird, watery cry before collapsing to the ground between the two males. With a small trail of blood leaking out of her mouth, her eyes went dark and all went quiet except for the sound of small insects chirping to the morning sunrise.

Goira looked down at the dead body then at Stone. Well, look at that. You're useful after all. He panted, exhausted to the point his tongue was sticking out from the burning sensation in his throat, before turning his attention to Mosura.

Now sure how to take that, Stone just clicked his tongue. Um…Thanks?

Lowering his tail towards his arms, he placed her back in his embrace and cradled her. Mosura? Mosura? Wake up. He said, shaking her a bit. Come on, wake up.

000000000

Mosura slowly blinked a few times before finally opening her eyes to see herself looking up at her King.

My King? She said, in a low, raspy whisper only to notice the blood and wounds on her King's face. That quickly kicked her out of dreamy haze. What happened? She asked, only to hiss from the throbbing pain in her chest and head. All she could remember was being connected to Peresphone then something hitting her with such force her mind shut off due to too much pressure in her head.

Don't try to move, your wings are torn up and you were tossed around a bit. Her King said, while holding her tight in his left arm.

You're bleeding. She said, pointing at his gills.

Yeah, that's what happened when you had to fight off Mutos from tearing you apart, Mosura. He said, being a smartass. Maybe next time don't follow a naive princess to the Parasite's colony.

What? She asked, looking around at the gruesome scene of blood and disturbed dirt and their surroundings littered with dead Mutos. She couldn't believe she was out cold through all of this only to have the thought of the Princess come to mind. Persephone, she nearly forgot about her and shifted her head left to right to find her.

I don't want to be an Asshole here, but what the hell were you thinking? Do you have any idea what you were getting yourself into? It's bad enough you took off after I clearly told you not to, but you nearly got yourself killed because-

Her eyes spotted Stone using his head to help the Princess up from the ground. Persephone winced and kept her back leg up to keep herself from putting weight on it. She was in bad shape, she was covered in dirt, blood and had a few cracks in her rock-texture skin. Some of her vines were torn out and there were hardly any flowers left.

-you're lucky we got here on time. You could've been killed. You were supposed to bring the Royal Brat home, not play those "Mind Tricks'' again, Mosura. And don't think I wouldn't know about that, my head was in some strange cloud thanks to you and her-

Mosura wanted to listen to her King's rant knowing she deserved every rude and smartass remark, but she couldn't stop staring at the young couple in front of her. Finally, after a lot of shyness and awkwardness, the two mountain kaijus were…talking.

Are you ok? Stone asked, looking over Persephone for any critical wounds.

The Princess blushed before looking at the ground. I'm fine, really. She said, nervously. Pardon me for sounding rude, but…why did you come?

Stone was taken aback by her question. Why wouldn't I?

-your egg is on the other side of the world, Mosura. I know for a fact you're not ready to go back in there and…Mosura…Mosura, are you listening!? Her King shouted.

She smiled, My King, look. She said, pointing at the couple.

Persephone sighed before staring at him. I was so mean to you…I was so caught up with my past grievances that I completely ignored you and your feelings.

It clicked and Stone frowned. So the grave you came all the way out here for, the one you were willing to risk your life for…that was His grave?

She nodded in guilt or perhaps in embarrassment. Yes, but I just wanted to say Good-bye and finally let him go so we can both rest in peace. A young female like me can never forget their first love, you can move on, but you can never forget.

I see…Stone said, looking very disappointed and so did Mosura. It looked like Stone was about to give up trying to court the young Princess. He sighed, Well, let's get you home before your Sire gets worried and treat those wounds. I'll see if we can stay an extra day to make sure you're settled.

But I don't want you to leave! Persephone shouted too quickly for her taste. She shut her mouth tight and blushed.

You don't? Stone asked.

No…I mean…I know I messed up…when your Sire said you were going to leave…I didn't know what to do…I felt like I was letting my whole herd down and I felt like I was letting you down…that's why I took off…I knew if I said my final good-bye to Tyr…I can finally be free to move on and…and…the thought of you leaving…I'm sorry, I'm really bad with words…I can't say I fell in love…but…that day when you smiled at me…

And you smiled back…He continued.

She nodded…I…I…oh kaiju…just don't leave.

You felt something when we made eye contact, didn't you? He asked, gently.

She swallowed, Perhaps I did….

He smiled, Because I did…I was just fearful you wouldn't accept me because I wasn't like my brother or the one before me and-

Her King grumbled. For fuck sake, just tell her what you told me so we can leave this damn place! He shouted, causing her to smack her forehead with her claw.

My King, he's trying, so be quiet. She whispered.

Are you forgetting we're near the Parasite Colney or did everyone forget what we just did not too long ago? He spat.

Stone blushed from her King's harsh words before shaking his head to gain back his confidence and composure. Persephone…He said, firmly to make sure she was paying attention. Look, I get it. I really do. It's hard to forget your first love. I went through that when I was younger only to be replace with someone stronger in her eyes…but…I might not be like my brother or Tyr and I know we're not in love since we only met a few day ago, but I feel there's something there and if you feel the same way…I want figure it out together…I want to face whatever this world have in store for us…with you. I don't want to leave either and I won't if you have me…

Persephone's eyes travel over to Mosura, who gives her a reassuring smile, and gestures to her to say something. The Princess smiled, I want to figure things out between Us too…but, nn two conditions. If you do these two things, I will accept your proposal.

Stone smiled, Anything.

She sighed, All I ask is for you to give me time, I want to get to know you before…you know and second, can I please know your real name?

A little bit of color washed out of his face from the name issue. My name?

Yes, I want to know your real name. I mean, I like the nickname, but I prefer to know your actual real one.

Before Mosura could hear the name, her King turned around and began to walk away. Time's up. We need to get out of here before the smell of those Mutos attracts unwanted attention.

My King, we can't leave them behind. She shouted, while trying to get up.

He held her tight in his arms knowing very well she was in no condition to fly or fight with him. If they value their lives they will follow us if not, well, that's their problem.

She rolled her eyes only to hum in great relief to see the young couple following them with Persephone leaning against Stone for support since her leg was still hurting from the sprain. Despite the injuries and her not knowing what exactly happened with the Mutos (yet), it was a nice thing to see. She always adores young love.

By the way, you are not leaving me alone with that male again. He was expressing his feelings way too much for my taste. Her King said, in disgust.

Mosura once again ignored her King's complaining, so she can listen in on Stone and Persephone.

Let me know if I'm walking too fast. You need to take things slow when it comes to a sprained foot.

No, I'm fine. Really. She said, before pressing her face against his strong shoulder. Thank you. She whispered, blushing really hard.

He looked away bashfully and after a few more steps, he finally confessed. It's Hades.

What? The Princess asked, not in disbelief, but confused since it came out of nowhere.

My name is Hades. He said again, a little louder.

Persephone giggled, That's your real name?

Even her King got a good chuckle out of it.

I know, I know, I hate it too. My parents thought it would make me sound more fearful. Honestly, now that I'm older, they could've used better names that represent strength or nature like Osiris or something similar.

Persephone hummed, If you say so…I like it…it's…You…

00000000000

Three Days Later…..

I made this for you. Persephone said, before placing a small flower-made crown on Mosura's head. It was bright green and covered in beautiful pink flowers.

Mosura adjusts the crown before looking up at the Princess. Are these your vines and flowers? She asked and Peresphone nodded. Oh Princess, you shouldn't have especially since they are finally growing back.

Well, it's my way of saying Thanks…for everything. In fact, I wish there was more I can do for you.

You welcomed us to your home, became a great friend and protected me from Parasites when I was out cold. I owe you a lot for that, Dear Princess.

How about we just call it even. Persephone said, smiling.

They both giggle and Mosura couldn't help, but take one last look at the Herd before leaving all this colorful and happy community behind. In the background, she could see Bala and Aoide in the background with Aoide nuzzling her newborn calf in her arms. Both parents were extremely happy to bring a healthy little girl into the world and Mosura wished them the best. She could see Zeus talking to Stone as they waited and watched the other mature males spar with each other. Stone actually gained some respect from his older brother after finding out that he took down a bunch of Parasites alongside her King and lived to tell about it. Zeus may be harsh and annoying, but he and Stone were siblings and loved each other no matter what. He was even nice enough to take back all the bad things he said about the Princess in respect of his brother. Further away she can see her King trying his hardest to stay calm while saying good-bye to Peresphone's Sire and the other old Alpha because they were trying to convince him to stay a little longer. When they got back, her Sire wasn't pleased about Peresphone running away which the Princess covered up by saying she just needed some space to think and apologize to her Sire for her foolishness since she nearly died by Parasites. She was just happy that her King and Stone came along and rescued her from death and brought her home safely. Mosura could tell her Sire wasn't buying her story, but when he noticed her and Stone getting along and accepting their Courtship, the events of that night were left forgotten. He didn't want to mess up something he waited so long for. The rest of the Herd was going on with their everyday lives, happy to know that sooner or later they will be leaving this spot and moving on to a much bigger and safer place.

Mosura sighed, I'm really going to miss this place.

You can always stay if you like. The Princess recommended.

No, No, my King and I are Travelers and I did promise him we'll head towards the nearest ocean for him to swim after this visit.

I understand. Persephone said, sadly, Though I'm really bad at Good-byes. You've been a great friend to me, Mosura.

If it makes you feel better, I'll visit again. It won't be hard to track you since we connected. She said, readjusting her crown again since it was getting into her eyes.

I'll look forward to those visits, my friend.

Mosura smiled and reached up to give the Mountain Kaiju a hug. Letting the Princess's vines dangle all around her. The smell of fresh flowers filled her snout. She tightened her hug. You're going to be fine, Persephone. You and Stone are going to have a very happy life together.

You…you really think so?

I know so. Just remember, when times get tough, lean on each other for support. Be there for him and let him be there for you. As a pair you can't lose.

The Princess nodded. I will keep that in mind.

Her King approached them, eager to get out of here, but was polite enough to face Persephone and nodded his head. Thank you for letting us stay here, but it's time for us to head out. He said, while Mosura flew up to settle on her King's left shoulder.

I understand and Thank you again for saving my life from the Parasites. Persephone smiled.

Yeah, and if you were wise, don't go back there again. He said, feeling a bit weird lecturing her like some sort of Sire.

Don't worry, I won't. I left everything I had over there with no intention to go back. She said, more to herself than her King.

He raised a brow and shrugged before turning around to leave. When Mosura looked back, she smiled when she saw Stone joining Peresphone as she sat there and waved good-bye to her. The pair then looked at each other before leaning in to touch foreheads. Creating a blissful smile on the Princess's face.

Like something out of a dream, Mosura swore she saw Pink Petals dance all around them.

Epilogue

Days later…

Methuselah yawned before popping his neck. So the Silly Lass decided to stay with Stone afterall? That's nice to know. He asked, while stretching out his arms in front of him before tucking them back under his chest. After listening to Mosura retell her days at Peresphone's herd, his body was stiffening up from lying down for a long time.

It was a hot and bright afternoon near the ocean, but the sand that made up the shoreline was quite soothing on her tired, sore body. In the shallow part of the water, Ceres was taking a nap while sunbathing at the same time. A Lizard Kaiju's ways to absorb radiation and recharge. For that she was thankful because she wasn't in the mood to deal with the female and her Uncouth mouth.

Yeah, when I left she was very happy. They were both happy and your friend Alpha Deme wanted me to tell you thank you for helping.

Why? I didn't do anything. Methuselah said, confused.

Well, I did tell him you sent me there to help, so in a way, you did help out.

I can't take all the credit, but fine, whatever. He's always been a strange one.

Mosura smiled while fluttering her wings to get rid of some of the sand on them. He misses you, Methuselah. You should really pay him a visit. You two grew up with each other for kaiju's sake.

I know, but I'm happy where I'm at now. I can't leave Ceres because then she'll be all alone.

That's sweet of you, Methuselah. You must really love her. She giggled.

I wouldn't put too much thought in that one, my Dear. I don't go that way.

I know, I know. It's going to be a cold day when someone actually gets you to settle down. Who knows maybe it will be someone you least expected. Maybe someone who knows how to twist your mind that you can't help, but adore. She joked.

You're an odd female, Mosura. He said, unimpressed.

She giggled. By the way, when I was talking to Stone's brother, Zeus, he said you knew their Sire a long time ago. A male that goes by the name Charon.

Methuselah's eyes widened. Oh those were Charon's boys. Damn, that Prick is still alive?

She flinched from his harsh words. Yes, and why would you call him that?

Eh, we had a little fall out. I didn't like the way he or his mate was treating their youngest son, Hades. They wanted me to train only Zeus because Hades was born a Runt thus not worthy or capable to be a great Fighter. Don't get me wrong, he was grateful to know me despite being a Runt myself, but never changed his feelings about them. I was just lucky as he puts it that my parents didn't kill me. I'm sure if it wasn't for our low population, they would've gotten rid of Hades when he was born.

Well, he seems happy for Hades…I mean Stone now. Even his brother looked happy to see his younger sibling thrive. Maybe they will learn to treat each other better from now on.

Yeah, sure, but what's done is done. Can't go back into the past and change it. Let's forget about that and talk about something else. Methuselah said, looking around. By the way, where is Gojira? I wanted to ask him if he's been practicing those breathing exercises to increase his Beam.

He wanted to spend some time in the ocean before meeting me here. He didn't want me to say anything, but he's planning on doing a sneak attack on you for punishment. Since he had to witness so much pointless drama at your Friend's Herd.

Ha. Methuselah said, before standing up. Like he could really sneak up on me. I'll make things even easier for him by waiting for him in the water. He said, before walking into the Ocean. The sudden moment caused Ceres to wiggle her body before waking up from her nap. She lifted her head up to see what was going on.

Please don't, Methuselah. I was really hoping for a quiet afternoon in the sun. Mosura said, frowning because she can already sense her King coming in close.

You will, Queen. It won't take much to pin that hot-temper lizard down. Methuselah said, standing leg deep in the water.

Right on cue, her King emerged out of the water, shadowing Methuselah and sending large waves towards her and Ceres. Yet Methuselah stood his ground and smirked only to have that smug look slapped off his face by her King's words.

Hey Twigs!

What the fuck did you call me!? Methuselah shouted before getting tackled and pulled underwater…

MQB: Thank you so much for reading this story. I hope everyone liked it.

Stay tune for the second chapter to my other story: "Fanning the Flames Uncut" which should be out soon I hope. It's hard to tell with my busy work schedule as well as my next upcoming Godzilla story: "Rainbow." That story is still in works with me getting my notes and ideas together, but it's getting there.

Also, if you're bored and slightly curious, check out my "Solar Opposites" work if you like. I can't thank that show enough for giving me new creative ideas to write something new and different than my Godzilla fics. My creative side is so happy.

Other than that, take care everyone, stay safe and healthy during these spooky nights. Love Ya!

Please Review.
