Ten years later, Broadway and Angela's egg finally hatched too. They had a son that resembled Hudson actually. This meant that Hudson must have been Broadway's father. It was a shock, but they would still treat each other the same.
They named him Artus, but it was like a resemblance to King Arthur's name too. Now Goliath and Hudson's bloodlines were combined. Artus was both Goliath and Hudson's grandson.
All the other gargoyle kids were ten and twelve now. They were all in the stages of battle training, but were still allowed to do things that modern day humans liked to do. Playing on their tech tabs and such. Being around technology. Goliath made it clear though that when it was time to train, it was time for business and put the tech down. The kids had learned many a hard lesson about it if they didn't listen. And now, they would have to be role models for the youngest gargoyle.
Their parents' relationships were as strong as ever.
Othello and Desdemona were also expecting another egg. During the ten years of waiting for the one egg to hatch, the clan had done so much to protect the castle, the city and such that by the request of Alex on his grandmother, Titania's visit, that they get to become mortal again. They deserved it.
Alex was still in training with Puck too, of course, and didn't know how to transform them. Titania was proud to grant this gift to them. They had welcomed it too. So now, they were going to be new parents soon, too.
Across town, Demona's daughter, Ziana was also growing up nicely. She may have been ten, but she was like the equivalent of five. She was still a small child. Gabby was the same, but she was the equivalent of age six. She wasn't too far ahead of her little sister.
The human gargoyle kids were a little more advanced in thinking than their gargoyle kid peers. They just grew up faster. Tony was definitely still older than Gabby in age advance and thinking too. It was hard to think they were twins. It was hard to explain what had happened.
…..
More years passed and by the time Artus was ready for training, there was a five year old gargoyle girl child in the clan too. It was Othello and Desdemona's child.
The older kids were now considered fully trained warriors of the clan and now helped out on patrols. They were still young yet and did sometimes get carried away with showing off. The clan still helped out with the police too when they needed them.
Despite human DNA being in them, they still did turn to stone in daylight.
Alexander was now also a grown man. He took after his dad in looks, but had his mom's red hair. Fox and David had aged since then, as had Paula and Elisa too. Much faster than their gargoyle friends. But of course, the gargoyle parents were older too.
Ziana was also well grown up too. She had been told of the clan, but she had been shielded from the clan all her life. She had been taught to hate humans and had been told who her father was. She planned on meeting him, soon.
She worked alongside her mother here at Nightstone Unlimited. By now, Yvonne was no longer in her life. She had gone on to mother human kids years ago. Demona had let her go when she had found another job and she wouldn't be welcome back.
Demona was happy with her life that she had the child that she had always wanted finally. And she had been raised without the clan's help. She had left the clan alone for years now. She had kept her promise that the clan and her were no longer enemies. Even though she hated humans, she knew that she had no choice but to live alongside them.
…..
The night finally came that Ziana snuck out behind her mother's back and she wanted to meet her father for the first time. Aside from Dr. Roland, she hadn't known many males in her life. Always females.
She was just gliding around the city and she started to hear screaming. She landed on a building and watched. There was another gargoyle in the vicinity this night. It was a big, red male. She saw him swoop down and rescue the woman from the gang.
There were still a lot of humans who despised the gargoyles just for how they looked. That's what Ziana had learned from her mother. She had learned to despise them too. She also knew that her mom turned human during the day. She also knew that her mom was immortal and had lived a long time.
When the red male returned to the sky, now was her chance. He was alone.
Demona had trained her well. She took off and got behind him, as well as above him.
Brooklyn was alone. He was just minding his own business, when all of a sudden, he was dive bombed. "Incoming!" he heard a yell.
"Huh?" He looked up and it was too late. He was slammed into and they both crash landed onto a building.
They both grunted at the landing. Ziana got off of Brooklyn. They both got to their feet and faced off with each other.
Brooklyn was shocked at what he was seeing. A young female gargoyle before him. She looked to be near Gabrielle's age perhaps.
"You are Brooklyn, I presume?" Ziana demanded.
"Who are you? Am I supposed to know you?" he asked. He saw that she looked a good deal like him, with his beak, horns, and hair color. But her body coloring was different. She was a blue color, with purple wings, more webbed rather.
"You should know me… Daddy."
Brooklyn was taken aback.
"I'm not your father. I would know if I had another child and you're not my child." Brooklyn retorted.
"Then who was my father that my mother told me about? You were the only adult male in the clan here in this city that had these looks. I am called Ziana." the young female introduced herself.
"Who is your mother?" Brooklyn asked.
"I believe you know of Demona?" she replied smugly.
Brooklyn's eyes widened. So, Demona had found a way to get a child from him after all! Not again! He hadn't heard from her in many years, and yet, she had been here in this city all along.
"Why haven't I known about you in all these years? Demona hasn't been seen in many years by us."
"She never wanted me to meet you. She's kept me hidden all my life. I finally snuck out. I've been wanting to meet my father for so long, to see the one who I get some of my looks from." Ziana explained.
"Uh, Ziana, is it? I… if I had known, I would have tried to get you away from her. Any child of mine is welcome in the clan. We look out for each other. Demona lost the meaning of the word long ago." Brooklyn declared.
"Don't say that! My mother has taught me that humans are not to be trusted! Very few can be. But I have learned that I have to live aside them. I know they are everywhere. My mother has calmed down and just lived a peaceful life as she can, with no clan to support her." Ziana explained.
With the way she talked about her mother, then, Demona had been telling the truth so long ago, but she was still not welcome in the clan.
"Ziana, if you are truly my daughter, come back to the castle with me." Brooklyn said.
"I've never known a father's affection." Ziana stated.
"I can be your father. You also have other brothers and sisters." Brook declared. "They are about your age. How old are you? You still look fairly young."
"I'm 30." Ziana replied.
That meant that she was the equivalent of 15. She was old enough to be a warrior.
"So, did Demona train you to be a warrior too?" he asked.
"Yes. She taught me much. And just how many siblings do I have?" she asked.
"You have two sisters. Angela, and Gabrielle. Gabrielle looks much like me, but has red hair. Angela is more lavender colored. And you have two brothers. Tony and Nolan. Tony is more human looking, and Nolan looks more like me."
"And who is the mother of them?"
"Demona is Angela and Gabrielle's mother. They are your half sisters. Tony's mother, I'm not sure. She's human, and Nolan is part human, but Paula is his mother. Paula is human, but with a shortage of female gargoyles, I had no choice but to take a human mate. She is the love of my life." Brooklyn explained.
"I've been told of Angela, but had no idea of the others. I also know of Broadway, Lexington, Hudson, Goliath, and Bronx." Ziana declared.
"Yes. Well, Hudson passed away in a battle some years ago, but he has a grandson that looks a bit much like him." Brooklyn said. "All the others are still alive."
"And an Elisa Maza?"
"Yes. She's around too. Look, you can come and meet them all at the castle. There's more to meet too. But you have to promise that you will behave, that you won't attack the clan or our human friends." Brooklyn stated firmly.
"I promise, Daddy." Ziana replied.
Brooklyn had only raised three kids of his own over the years, and tonight, he finds out that he has a fourth child! One he didn't even know he had.
He figured that Demona would be upset that her daughter was gone, but he wanted to get his child away from Demona.
I own all my own OCs. I don't own the name of Artus, as he belongs to creators of Gargoyles too. Just a different version of him.
Hope everyone is enjoying this and sorry the chapter is so short. It's getting closer to the end.
