Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale

By: DJ Rodriguez

(Author's Notes: This is not a new chapter. It's a personal apology and answering of questions to those that have asked in the reviews.

To those that believe they had been misled due to the Author's Notes I posted up earlier, I apologize on that. After working on each chapter, when it is both long and good enough, I would go about to post them after doing spelling/grammar checks. And I get so caught up in writing the particular chapter, that I do forget to put down the promises I made. For that, I really do apologize. Please forgive me, for I WILL do better next time to make sure that I keep my word when it comes to promising certain things that are with this story.

And now to answer the questions from reviewers:

To Darkness Rissing, Rapunzel's hair was affected in the same way like the pixies were. But you got to remember this, human magic and fairy magic are different in both subtle and big ways. Rapunzel's hair was glowing brilliantly, and sending out an invisible magical healing field that negated the usual radiation poisoning that would follow after being close to such radioactive creatures like Godzilla and his son. Also, the parents were stunned indeed to see their children flying. However, they had bigger issues that they were concerned with at the moment to really ponder & wonder how the children could fly. Seeing their little ones very close to a kaiju would most likely make any kind of wonder about magic take a back seat, the safety of their precious treasures a top priority.

Also, the fairies' magic power-up was shown, yes. And they can do amazing things with each of their talents, as shown in previous novels. However, they are in a new universe and right now it would be a bad time to see if magic could hold out against technology such as high explosive, laser beams, and so on. Besides… I am saving the use of their magic and power in the near-end part of the story! All I ask is for your patience and trust, sir.

To Kaiju Avenger and A Fan, like listed before, I do apologize for my lack of insight in keeping my word. After writing down such intense action sequences and such for the chapter, I simply decided to show Regina, Alice, and the mice do their spying assignment in the next chapter. Like in my previous stories, I really want to build up tension and such in each ongoing chapter instead of showing it all in one chapter. I apologize again for my lack of keeping my promises in my Author's Notes, and I assure you both I will try harder to live up to them.

To The Question, Mothra and the Twin Fairies will answer any and all questions the Disney ladies may have concerning Monster Island, the reason why their large charge is named Queen of the Monsters, and more. Also, yes… I believe that many of the Disney characters back in said realm would have their imaginations running wild due to the titles Godzilla and Mothra carry. And since Genie and his family are there along with Mama Odie… you can bet that they would go crazy in bringing their thoughts to life, so to speak.

To Leatherhead, the reactions of the celestial beings in the Higher realm will be shown later on in the chapters. This much I do promise!

Again, I apologize to all if you believe I may have misled you in any way. I just really like to let the story, characters, plot and more grow. To have substance and timing in each chapter, to let the readers be really immersed in the story, and also to let things play out realistically as well as try to move it along at a balanced, good pace. Though, I really need to work on my own patience when it comes to working on said chapters. There is no deadline and such, but I just really want to not let the reviewers and readers down if there is not an update after a length of time has passed.

I do promise you all this, on my honor as a Rodriguez. And on my honor as a Christian, Disney fan and Godzilla fan as well. That this story will be one for the ages! I have come this far, very much by God's grace, help and hand… and I am not going to slow or stop now! This will be something that, I hope, is an excellent tribute to the classic Disney and Toho movies of the 1980s and 1990s! It won't be perfect, but I will try to do my best! So all I ask if for your patience, trust and loyalty when it comes to this story.

Thank you very much. The next chapter will be up sometime in the beginning of April. Until then, enjoy this and the other Monsters and Magic stories I have written!)
