Four months after the end of the Kaiju War, Luna Lovegood led the expedition to the Iraq desert to the location of the Temple of Ashes. Iris found the host of Biollante interesting, as she could see the future but was very cuddly with everyone that was with the Alpha, like one of those teddy bears the humans had. The Atlantian created monster was in her human form, riding on horseback along with her Alpha, Luna and Namako. Following them were the workers that would help uncover more of the sight that Luna's informant had given her.

Of course, the excavation site had been uncovered by someone by the name of Lilith Demetrescu. When they reached the site, they found it uncovered but everyone carried weapons that fired wood darts. Lilith looked up as they approached, smiling softly.

"Sorry for the precautions, we've met some unsavory creatures here that only get harmed by wood." She said before looking directly at the Alpha, Iris noticed that Lilith bowed a bit more to him and showed off her rather sinful body.

Iris huffed, "So what are we looking at?"

Lilith motioned to the temple, "Welcome to the Akkadian Temple, however, under this human built structure is the Temple of Ash. The Temple above was used to hold off the powers of Pazuzu, the God Demon of Plagues and Diseases."

Namako frowned, "And the temple below?"

Lilith led them down into the excavation site, motioning to the newly arrived crew to move to the excavation director before answering.

"That temple," She grimaced, "We needed to set up UV lights at all the entrances and other light spells, near sun perfect. But that temple was set up to worship whatever these things are, one of them was bigger then the others. Might even outdo Camazotz for his title as biggest Bat Titan, if the statues are correct."

Iris looked down as they were led deeper into the temple, finally reaching the entrance that led to the real Temple of Ashes. It was guarded by huge UV lights, with more of them hanging on the walls and the ceiling. Luna looked at the lights before looking at Lilith, tilting her head.

"This is a bit much for a single vampire, Lilith."

Lilith snorted, "If it was singular, yes. The magical ground crews had to pull all non-magical personnel out of the underground due to high levels of vampiric taint. Though we are going to be lifting the Akkadain temple off soon, so we can get into the Temple of Ashes proper."

Harry spoke up at that moment, "Then why are we at this entrance?"

Lilith smiled softly, "I was going to allow you to view the lifting from below, feeling the sun touch the temple proper after so many years underground."


Luna Celeste Lovegood smiled to herself as the group reached the entrance to the temple, before the ground started to rumble as the ceiling let loose sand and dust. Slowly, ever so slowly, the ceiling lifted. Luna watched the magic cradle the temple above them and lifted it away, the first rays of the sun spearing into the darkness for the first time in millenia. Soon, the temple was taken away to another site so Monarch could start studying it. The blonde witch then turned to look at the temple itself in the rays of the sun, stopping dead as she saw red ooze across the temple itself.

No one else could see it, but she could in dark clarity. Blood magick covered this temple, cursed magicks too. Her legs trembled from the sight before a pair of hands covered her vision. Harry's hands darkened her vision until he pulled them away, the red gone and her mind not trying to rebel against her.

"Thank you, Harry," She whispered, her voice slightly shaking as she hugged him.

"I can smell the magicks used here too," He said before looking at Lilith, "Get everyone clear of the temple, all of them are to work on the Akkadian temple instead."

"But…" Lilith started before thinking better of it or she looked at the temple and saw the magicks too, "Of course, I understand now."

She quickly left, giving out orders as she went as Luna got closer to the temple and put a hand on a worn pillar. She felt the magicks reach out before pulling away, in fear maybe? She couldn't tell what the energy was feeling at all, it was so muddled by loss and pain. She then put a dampening on all her magical sensing senses, so she could reasonably function without having magic overloading her every waking moment.

Her brother in all but blood, depending on which form they were in, walked up to the temple and studied it slowly. His eyes flashed blue then returned to their emerald green hue, his fist clenching then opening once more. He was agitated, not a good sign with the Titan King really.

Namako spoke up, "The taint here is rather powerful, its old as well. And...there's a titan here as well."

Iris nodded, "Very old, older then me or anything Atlantis created."

Harry looked over at Iris, "Could you get Gyaos around here in case anything tries to escape, despite the precautions?"

Iris tilted her head, "I don't hear them, Gamera has been culling their numbers quite drastically even though I can command them fully. He doesn't trust me, he never has."

Harry grimaced, "I'll see if I can get an agreement made between you and him, just get what you can here and have them guard the Temple grounds. If Gamera shows up, he'll smell the magicks here and quickly help guard the area or leave out of disgust."

Luna weakly smiled, "Could you have them bring plant life here? I'm rather weak in desert areas."

Iris nodded, "of course, the twigs of this land aren't worthy of sustaining you, Luna. I shall endeavor to get you what you need."

Iris then lifted into the air, changing into her true form and started sending mental signals out to any living Gyaos on the planet. Namako pulled Luna against her body, causing the young woman to snuggle into the human form MUTO's body. She soon removed herself from the hug and pointed to the Temple.

"To the temple."


Harry James Potter walked into the Temple, feeling his hackle rising as he was washed in the magicks of a forgotten age and time. Sure, he was the Titan King, but even then, he was young compared to Godzilla himself. Godzilla was millions upon millions of years old, and Harry had only a fraction of those memories explored within his head. Occlumency had helped organize them but hadn't helped knowing what they were all about. At night, he'd get glimpses of the past that wasn't his but he'd wake up and barely remember any of it.

After being in his Titan form for so many years, he had nearly forgotten how to be human again. It took him several intense weeks of training to get him back to full physical shape, then another month before he could use his magic properly. That and he had alien radiation holding him back, something he had to purge before he could return to normal. He shuddered remembering those weeks, trying to walk and move like a human only to fall and be unable to rise again.

He pushed those memories away, focusing on the present. He was here with Luna, Namako and Iris in Iraq at a Temple that was very old and held some significance to history as a whole. Something that would allow Harry to get his mind off of the Kaiju-Titan War, Luna had been very good at distracting him with those things. He looked around the temple and saw all the carvings on them, all of them telling stories.

He didn't know what most of them told, he hadn't been able to study old dead languages due to being a Titan most of the time between his battle with Kong to the end of the war. He then found a massive chamber, stepping further into it, he paused. Around the room were multiple UV lights but they were focused on the many doorways that lead out. In the center was a massive statue modelled after something that looked vaguely like a bat, but its head was humanoid. It stood on four limbs, two wings and two powerful long legs.

The statue had a long tail with an arrowhead tip, muscular arms led to powerful clawed hands with a thumb and three clawed fingers. From there was the rest of the wing, folded against the arm itself. It was quite the imposing figure, Harry had to admit. Then his eyes went downwards, to what was beneath it.

Under its chest was five more sculptures, all of them depictions of women. All were hauntingly beautiful, like the Veela were, but these women were more so. Real vampires, Harry realized, maybe the first true vampires on Earth.

"I see you found the large but not fully sized statue of Titanus Pazuzu," Luna Lovegood said from his side, pulling one of his arms into her impressive bust, "God Demon and pain to Titanus Camazotz."

"Does Camazotz know this Titan?" He asked, maneuvering his arm to hold her hand to squeeze it, feeling Luna's discomfort at being surrounded by so much blood magicks.

Luna relax more as Namako walked up behind them, looking up at the statues, "He did, he doesn't like speaking of it. This Titan, Pazuzu, was sleeping under the Earth when Camazotz found out that he, supposedly, had an army to do his bidding. The bat Titan wanted it for himself, so he challenged Pazuzu to Combat by death. Pazuzu, by Camazotz own words, was bigger then Ghidorah by several hundred feet in wingspan."

Harry frowned, making calculations, as Luna continued her story, "The massive Titan was the one to rip apart Camazotz's wings, leaving the massive holes in the wing membrane that would have made it so any other bat couldn't fly. Camazotz feld afterwards, apparently told off by Pazuzu. Then he got the warning that he was lucky he didn't wake the tainted corpses below the ground, or he would have brought hell to the Earth."

Harry looked at Luna, "And the female vampires underneath Pazuzu?"

"Oh," Luna smiled, "Those are easy, those are Pazuzu's eternal concubines. The five nameless women of pleasure, all of them pleasure the Titan while he sleeps so he won't have to leave his place in guarding this land. Supposedly, they bathe in his essence once pleasuring him is done but I don't believe that for a moment. That's just weird myth telling."

Harry gave Luna a look, confused, "So, they're all vampires?"

Luna nodded, "Yep, the very first true Vampires. The one that is standing directly under Pazuzu's jaws? That's the vampire that created Dracula, by biting him as a child. Of course, it was because she saw a vision of the future. A world covered in blood and death, done by a man in silver armor and magic weapons. Or so the legend goes, she sent visions to Vlad until he left his window open for her and in the night, she came in and bit him."

Harry grimaced, "That sounds way too detailed to be a myth."

Luna nods, "That's because it was written down by Vlad's mother, herself, after confronting the nameless woman. The Dracule Family passes that down from generation to generation, I was lucky to read it thanks to being a friend to the Countess Eliza Vlad Dracula, daughter of Vlad Reign Dracule the Ninth."

Yes, only Luna would be friends with the Head of the extremely powerful Family of Vampires that ruled the other Vampire clans with a fist made of blood and steel. Of course, most beings couldn't resist Luna as she was so innocent, charming and lovable. Also cuddly, seriously, how cuddly can one girl get?!

Harry rolled his eyes and smiled at Luna, "Care to read me these stories on the walls then, my dear?"

Luna practically dragged him over to a wall, "of course, big Brother! Oh, and Namako! Please keep up, I don't want you to be left behind."
