Rodan rested in Mt. Fuji, the lava boiling around him as he tried not to remember his past. A past where he had lost everything, including his beloved mate, leaving him as the of his species. That was until today, something in the air changed. He could feel it, causing him to erupt out of the volcano and fly towards the sound. The ground and water passed away underneath the flying behemoth quite quickly before he circled the area which he had heard the sound coming from. The smell was that of water covered lizard and...and...his former mate!
He nose dived and pulled out at the last second, landing so his wings covered the smell of what he caught. He looked down at the place he smelled and his eyes widened to find a young female of his species. She smelled like his old mate but also of him and of fire, a smell he had thought to be only his scent after he attained his 'Fire Demon' form. The little chick looked up at him, before sniffing his beak.
"P-papa?" She groaned, weak and tired, but having some of his old mate's tones in there and some of his as well.
"Yes, little senorita," He smiled, nuzzling his daughter, "It is me, your papa."
"Rodan…" A deep growl reminded that they weren't alone here.
Looking up, Rodan saw the Alpha glowering down at them both, jaw set in a deep grimace. He knew that the Alpha must of come upon his hatchling, thinking it was some out of control titan but he had to defend his family. Keeping his wings around his hatchling, Rodan bowed his head in a small bow of respect.
"Alpha, mercy, please...this is my daughter," He said, trying not to sound like he was begging, "Don't hurt her any further."
The Alpha heavily stepped from foot to foot, pondering this before snorting. Rodan looked up, seeing the eye of the titan narrow.
"Go back to that volcano you've made your home with your daughter and don't come back out unless called for." The alpha hissed darkly before turning away and leaving the beach.
"What's got his scales all tightened up?" Rodan's daughter huffed.
Rodan shrugged, "Maybe he doesn't like getting up so early in the morning?"
The smaller Titanus Rodan got up, flaring out her wings before pouting, looking down at her chest. Rodan looked and grimaced, her chest had the blackened marks of the Alpha's atomic breath. He licked her chest, getting some of the more flaky blackened parts off before rumbling deeply within his chest. His chick looked up at him before he grinned.
"Lets see who can beat who in a flying contest, yes?" He teased his hatchling before launching himself into the air with one mighty flap of his gigantic wings.
She wasn't that far behind him, as both flew around in the air. Diving, spinning, all manner of acrobatic acts. Rodan then began to dive when he could smell the smoke of the new nest he called home beneath him. He landed on the lip of the volcano as he looked up before lifting his wing as his hatchling landed, more like crashed into the lip of the volcano.
"OW!" She yelled out, slowly and gingerly getting up as Rodan chuckled, remembering his first time landing.
Then that smile vanished as quickly as it appeared, memories coming back to him of his past. As a young hatchling, he had to learn how to fly by himself while his family stayed home. Not only that, when he had returned, his mother had been injured and was being starved to death. For weeks on end, Rodan had given her food, bluntly telling her that if she didn't eat, she would not heal. That had shut her up until his father pretty much set guards around her constantly.
He had seen his youngest sibling get killed by one of the guards, sending him into a towering rage that was like the eruption of multiple volcanoes. His father had tried to battle him but was utterly curb stomped by the enraged son. Rodan had used his foot to mortally injure his father, leaving three massive talon slashes down his chest before flinging him off the roosting cliff.
The guard that had killed his sibling lost his head and one of his own children, which he had to kill himself. The other was exiled from the roost by the headless guards mate. His mother would make a full and quick recovery, however, Rodan's biology had changed because of his new form. He had become like living lava, burning brighter than the sun that day. Earth Mothers gift, as his people said, making him the Earth Mothers chosen. Which had lead to the urge to mate his mother before he found his proper mate.
But his Mother didn't mind, it seemed that she was more than happy in bearing his hatchlings after all that he had done. It was years later when the event wiped all but his mate and himself out. Or so he thought, he found his mother dying near the roost before he and his mate carried her to a nearby active volcanic fissure, placing her inside to heal. She was still there, He would visit her whenever he could but he had forgotten to do so recently. But now, his hatchling was here and with him.
He helped his daughter up and nuzzled her head gently, being careful not to push her over. SHe nuzzled back before looking around and blinked. He looked and noticed the humans from that research building taking pictures and videos. Let them, he was content to raise his daughter properly. Then something crossed his mind, how had she survived?
"Daughter...How did you survive?" He asked cautiously.
She looked at him before answering, "I as born inside the womb of a Veela, Papa, a being of Fire and Air! She is my secondary Mama, she raised me but told me of your legends and power! I still love her but now I have you!"
He smiled before licking her beak gently, "So what was the name you had before, Daughter?"
"Fleur Isabella Delacour!" She responded instantly, and very proudly.
Rodan's heated blood slowed as he blinked, before understanding hit him like one of the Alpha's breath attacks. She was born to the family that had split in two, one half attacking his mate! But what half was the one that raised his precious hatchling?
