Erica once again healed from tall fall stright on head "More dust to clean... eh." Temer (human form) felt struggle of living forever, even if he can die properly. He left to tend to his secret garden, some plants, and hard work to keep them alive should neutralize relation of his and son's. Erica in wolf form greets Hannibal, even if she's considired true ruler of canines. "Smell is same, I guess? Don't tell anyone." husky invited wolf to play on empty patch of grass, rolling in it. Seeing how simple dog can accelerate immortal grumpy creature to have a try gave him some idea "I'll offer some flesh, no hiding this fact. He sure will be hungry. Or should I just serve one ungreatful recruit..."
It happen, but other way it was predicted. He came directly to Lair, and feeling of hidden power source meant plants in full bloom, very rare plants. When Floral Demon entered hidden sub-space, seeing father in human appearience brought memories back, last day of his existance, words they said "Being perfect isn't your choice, than why force it?" Basilisk changed to match his son "Linda, your mother... She lived in perfectionists dream of family, my father wanted the same at price of crime each time he went out. What made you care more about everything perfect?" son caressed water lilly flower "One teacher told me to make parents proud, because all parents are happy when grades at up to 100%. Not seeing how you are happy for my grades... I decided to fight for approval! All you cared for was dogs, not us." father couldn't find words. Hannibal peeks out of bush, in matter of seconds roots strangled dog, whimpering and crying out. Wolf used power to neutralize magic acting up. Peter goes numb at sight of wolf with bright turquse eyes, Basilisk used tail to soften fall "How did you...?" Erica covers her naked halfwalf form, standing back to His Majesty "I remember him, he nearly tamed me at wild mindset. I will never stop holding grudge for it." she got over being embarresed to free husky from roots. Afeter freeing royal hellhound she enchanted some light clothes on herself, most likely two piece from harem's closet "Closest thing not being tainted by my magic, brand new probably. Your highness, guest will need 'proection'. Hannibal can't be hurt again. You had to feel it, that grim remainder of being mortal?" Basilisk held his dog to safety of his throne room, as husky cries from possible deathtrap.
Peter woke up to Luka closing cell-like room "It's not how you should treat guests! Let me out!" he tried to use any vegetaion to free himself from room, but nothing responded "There are no plants alive... Returning to starting point than." he fell into meditation. Small sprout of grass quicly died "Withering effect..." Basilisk looked disapointed from other side of view "You can apologize to Hannibal or face warth of Halfwalf on arean, also with withering effect. Pride of the wolf is unshaken, but you maneged to anger interdimentional creature... I pity you at this point. I would choose to apologize to Hannibal and thank him for keeping me sane for 5 years in prison until our metting! I swear on hellfires if you don't, she'll desroy you twice as much as I did ealier!" guars hearing that shivered on mare thought of Erica's warth. Random portals opening to far worse outcomes of humanity's disappearnces, natural disasters, cosmic invasions. For them it seems like living in current state is luxery. Peter took human self for barely few seconds "What if my dignity was smashed into stone?" father smirked evilly "Warth of Halfwalf it is. Good luck. You'll need it." Basilisk left prison block going by Erica awaiting judgment "Send him to cosmic invaders enslaving demons for thier smallest biddings, this amulet will let you know when to pull him out." she nods happy "He'll come back crawling to you and will apologize to Hannibal. Two birds, one stone."
