Chapter 5: Uneasy bonding
The situation had gotten a little, tense. No one, not even Madison, knew what his motives would be at this point. The attack from last night got everyone on edge. High alarm was called, marked with the sound of fighter Jets coming from the distance and flying nearby the king of the monsters, attempting taking his attention yet staying on a respectable distance.
A distinct order was given to be on guard, but not to attack. Best to not provoke him into attacking, again. Mark knew he was playing a very risky game when he gave that command, able to be easily caught of guard. The Director stood intently by the window, starring at the titan outside their door.
"I hope only some of your assumptions are correct, Dr. Russell."
Mark could simply do nothing else but grumble to himself, hoping he was right too, putting a lot of faith into her once more.
Madison took in a deep breath, as she and Godzilla made direct eye contact. Not the first time they did, but every time the feelings attached to it were different. Once in awe, once in relieve, once in fear, once in happiness. This time it was dread. That nervous and tight feeling again in her chest. Desperately hoping her worst fears weren't just about to be confirmed.
Despite sometimes seeming too small to spot, she knew he was looking at her.
The gaze of the titan piercing into her being, able to sense every move she took and every emotion she exhibited at that moment.
Ilene was running in from the left side, behind some trees and bushes that were planted as decoration on the side of the path, blocking their view of the ocean. The doctor and his assistant not too far behind, yet they all stopped a fair distance from Maddie, seeing Godzilla a bit too close for comfort to the base. The water of the area was halfway reaching his thighs, causing some of it to splash over the edges of walls. Ilene wanted to help but didn't really know how, clueless to the ongoings, as everyone else present was.
He walked two steps closer, making the ground shake, waves splashed forward and Ijiro cower further down to the ground. Willing to protect him, Maddie took one step forward, balling her hands into fists, assuming a stance ready to strike: taking up the Gojira fighting aura on her back.
This, confused Godzilla.
The expression on his face changed from his neutral stern look to one of concern, tilting his head and making a soft growl.
Whatever was going on, he seemed to lack full of awareness of what his actions had caused and only slowly concluding the consequences. Madison clenched her jaws and gritted her teeth, letting the instincts of her titan side guide her. All she had on her mind now was to protect the hatchling and everything else that was behind her.
In the same vein, Godzilla let his instincts guide him, making him do things he didn't have to do before.
One step back was taken, then he changed from his neutral pose to a more upright one, broadly displaying himself, before tilting up his head towards the sky and presenting his neck openly, making the plates light up in a slight blue flicker, and with that the neck as well, causing a sort of slow rumbling-clicking noise.
This seemed rather random at first, confusing her to hell and back. At first she had assumed the plates lighting up there was going to be an atomic breath.
She listened in on the sounds, carefully, letting her mind decipher what it could mean, both from her logical human perspective. Experiences and knowledge about titans and the world, as well as the instinctual titan side, letting her emotions take it all in.
Then it clicked, causing her a form of embarrassment that she refrained from showing, even if a bit of a blush was visible on her face.
While Godzilla himself wasn't directly related to non avian theropods of the past, there were some similarities and behaviours. This was one of them, a submissive display shown when a male asks for entrance to a nest and to calm whatever female is guarding it.
It was strange to see even for her. Sure, they had friendly interactions lots of times and would spend time together, but this felt more animalistic then usual. He possessed an intellect as equal to any human, yet it seemed his core was still so much more primal in nature, especially when being guided by instinct and emotions.
He kept going, starting to make similar movements to when they had first met back on Castel Bravo. Slowly tilting his body from side to side, exposing the plates to showcase his strenght, the tail whooshing over the waters surface with a such grace it barely touched it. This managed to elevate some of her worries and was able let her guard down, letting the aura disappear except for a shimmer in the eyes and hair.
Invited to come closer, he lowered his stance, the chest almost touching the water, reaching his head down towards them. An intimidating perspective coming up-close to a titan but it was a view Madison was pretty used to at this point.
Ilene still felt a bit uneasy, so was Dr. Gojo but she took in stride, much more then Dr. Tatetopoulus who was a uneasy and stuttering mess, clearly because he never did much fieldwork, they stayed behind the decorative bushes as to not be immediately spotted.
"S-Should-d we be- a-out h-here?"
"As long as we don't make any sudden movements or be threatening to them, we'll be fine."
"What about her?" Asuza asked, pointing at Madison. Ilene shrugged it off.
"I think she'll be just fine, it seems they are currently communicating."
"How do you know that?"
"I've seen them do it before. The way he moved earlier was asking for permission to come closer."
Asuza nodded a bit to the side, confused but guessing it made, Dr. Tatetopolous wanted to suggest something, but she really didn't care for what he had to say, and rather trusted the person that actually had direct experience as opposed to talking about it and making stuff up as it goes.
This did not mean however that she wasn't a bit tense over what could happen, the facility and the young titan could still be in danger despite the lack of direct hostility from Godzilla.
Curious he tilted his head, trying to spot what was hiding behind Madisonm, who had raised her hand to keep him at bay.
"Easy... easy, you're scaring him."
She turned around and tried to convince Ijiro to come out of cover.
"He's friendly don't worry, well, hopefully after we figure out what happened..."
Turning her attention back on Godzilla, their minds connected, one's memory and feelings put into the other, she shared flashes of what happened the night before. The hatching, the attack of Zilla and what he did. The flames, the aggression, the anger. What she thought it would have meant.
Surprising for most, he seemed taken a back by it, the expression on Godzilla's face looking regretful.
"What do you mean... oh..."
It seemed that while he ended up attacking the area and being very aggressive, there was reason to it. He was letting his anger guide him, but not attack anyone else but the lookalike creature that had attacked them first. Instead, he had heard the baby's cries from beyond the egg, felt its presence. Instinctively knowing what it was before it was even born. Like a crocodile that guards its nest and reacts to the young hatching, he reacted to this. He had tried to protect it.
This seemed to explain a view things at least, even though Madison still wasn't happy with it, pointing out the risks with that.
"You know you could have hurt him, us and me as well..."
Still in a bit of a soured mood on her end it seemed. Crossing her arms and looking way.
In an attempt gently nudge, her he came a bit too close and she had to hold him back. Touching the underside of his jaw and pushed him away. From an outside perspective it seemed like she was trying to hold back a mountain having to, but their innate connection made it easy for him to be as gentle as a feather. Scratching the underside of his chin made him grumble a bit more relaxed, able to feel it easily despite his massive size. Both these things were tied to the younger Gojira, having to be careful in a nest and able to sense where they are is very vital to not cause any unfortunate accident.
With the situation calming down a bit now, Ijiro reared up a bit, coming from behind Madison and walking to her side, curiously approaching this thing, this being that looked like him but much bigger.
Godzilla looked it with another slightly confused head tilt, it was much smaller than what an infant Goijra or titan for that matter would tend to look like, say for except view. Perhaps it was something genetic or also likely having to hibernate for so long caused complication.
Ijiro sniffed, trying to get his scent, like-wise did Godzilla. Immediately their brains memorized and would recall it in the future whenever necessary. The young one chirped, and the older titan responded with a slow rumbling growl, followed up by very gentle roar in response, which it responded back with another chirp. Madison let them communicate, learn each others' voices so Ijiro could imprint on it. Still being unsure if Godzilla would become the father of it. Whilst waiting around, she looked back at Ilene, who tried to garner what was going on right now or if anything, was going well. Signing around with her hands, unsure how to really put it into words or well, hands. Maddie nodded and simply responded with a thumbs up and turned her attention back to Godzilla.
The mighty titan, the king of the monsters, seemed... happy. His emotional side had this sort of feeling, something he hadn't sensed since around the time he took Madison onto Skull Island to bond with her. Another of his kind was born, no longer was he the last. Whatever it would take he would protect and help raise this precious life. A cause to fight and channel his anger beyond instinctual guidance or the balance of nature.
It had taken a bit, a view minutes but Ijiro started to feel more save and comfortable around Godzilla, who had started to take a more relaxed position himself, letting his body sink and float in the water, keeping his neck up to look down upon them. Madison gave him some scratches on the side of his cheek, leaning on his side as she watched the hatchling be playful around them.
The little one rubbed his head against Godzilla snout, purring and playing a bit, by scratching and bitting playfully.
Instead of getting annoyed by it, he encouraged it, and let his head rest down on the floor. So gentle and careful despite his size he broke almost nothing, well except for a buoy out in the water with his tail, smashing it into the ground by accident. A view old rusty barrels that had been laying on the ramp were crushed when he laid his head down as well, making a noise not to similar to crushing a beer can, just much deeper. The head of the titan just about fitted enough on the ramp where Madison could still freely move, 5ish meters to each side were open when he rested.
Ijiro kept playing, trying to jump onto Godzilla, before he eventually managed to grab onto his nose and started to climb. Its claws grabbed onto the rough and leathery surface of its kindred, he could barely feel it with its size not to mention, he was used to worse.
"Hey wait a minute-"Madison said running up trying to stop it, but it was already up on his head
"You get down here right now!" She called. It was funny she thought, she remembered some time at a playground when her mom would say the same to her and Andrew. It was warranted though, in both cases, they might fall and hurt themselves.
"Seems like young Titanus Gojira are more adapt a climbing." Ilene noted.
Madison looked behind her, the scientist had approached her, with Azusa and Tatepolous arguing, with her wanting to go close but the cowards wouldn't allow for it.
"Yeah, though, I am bit scared, he might fall..." she walked up to where he was climbing onto from, he had finally climbed on top of Godzillas nose. Barely a day old it seemed in a playful mood, rolling around on its fathers head like it was a playground.
"He seems very calm right now, considering what happened." Ilenes arms were crossed, she would have liked to go closer at some points but felt a bit hesitant still, compared to Madison who was directly up in his face, more literally.
"As far as I understood, he wanted to protect Ijiro from the other monster."
"Ijiro?" Ilene sounded confused, even though she could guess where the name came from.
"That's what I decided to name him, the hatchling."
Ilene nodded and smiled, softly noting: "It's a nice name."
Despite not answering they both could sense what the other felt, knowing exactly that the little one was named after someone with a legacy.
After a view minutes of watching the little one play, Azusa finally got to them, leaving Tatepolous behind her and protesting to them: "By all respect Mrs. Russell and Dr. Chen, you can't-"
Her yelling caught the attention of none other then Godzilla himself, who growled. Resisting the urge to make an "eeep" sound, yet even now she sought out more information in her mind, noticing Godzillas behaviour as well as the hatchling on his head, that was replicating his adoptive father's behaviour. Growling and fletching the teeth, barely a day old and already ready to show strength. It filled his titan guardian with a sense of pride.
Madison shushed them off, while Ilene stood aside, knowing it was best not further interfere when Godzilla seemed annoyed, nor Madison.
"Don't worry she's friendly," she turned over to Azusa "approach slowly, don't shout out like that. He thinks you're threatening the baby or him."
"Noted..." the young scientist said, the two of them walking a bit to the side to talk. The alpha titan felt reassured and so started return to a more relaxed state of mind and the young one went back to a more curious behaviour. Watching what his adoptive mother was doing from atop a giant's head.
Whispering now, too intimidated to speak up louder, Azusa continued her protesting:
"Please, the specimen was just born, letting it out and exposing it to outside factors so soon can have unforeseen problems."
"I partially agree..."
Dr. Gojo was very surprised to hear that, expecting way more of a rebuttal from what was in her eyes, just another teenager. Madison had gone through too much at this point to be unreasonable like that.
"I think it's important that they get to bond and also letting him know that the little guy is save here. If not, well I don't know if he'll be as relaxed as he is now..."
There was a slight hint at a threat from Madison and she was only partially bluffing. Whilst understanding why Godzilla became so enraged yesterday, it also meant there was the chance he would act like it again, should he sense the hatchling to be in danger.
However, it was hard to think about that seeing them like this now, with Ijiro now yawning and deciding to rest up on his father's head, curling together like a cat. Godzilla himself seemed tired as he let his body get submerge further in the water, with his head resting upon the concrete, his eyes slanting a little as he felt the sun start shining down on his back, drying it up gradually.
"I'll get him down there, just give me a little." Madison murmured.
Whilst all that was going on, Mark and the director where still in the meeting room, both watching the ongoings outside, with Mark watching the director inertially, guessing what he was up to and thinking, waiting for how to respond.
The man was still calm and collected on the surface, but there were things rumbling in his mind beneath it all. What the next chess piece to play would be, now with this sudden change.
"Likely Ms. Russell and Dr. Chen respectively will give us details on what happened yesterday, seeing as this behaviour is... contradictory to what was reported. Why do you think that is?"
"Well," Mark scratched the back of his neck, the director did not turn back once while talking to him. He knew the director wanted to get something out of him, that was for sure, a slip up to pin something on their credibility.
"I would probably wait to hear what she says."
"Right... yet if you had to guess, what would consider?"
Mark swallowed, having to think another moment but not wanting to hesitate he considered everything up until this point. Watching Madison call out to the baby up on Godzilla's head, trying to get it down, whist Godzilla seemed relax, but as he knew, was always on guard. Always listening to the ongoings of the surroundings.
"Maybe a, parental instinct, so to speak, kicked in for him and he became more aggressive to protect the hatchling and get the other titan out of the way, seeing it as a threat to it."
"Hmm, nothing more dangerous than a parent trying to protect their child, right?"
The director looked over his shoulder at Mark and he could just feel the antagonistic nature of him, trying to goad him into an argument, something that could be written down and used against him later.
"If you what you say is true, do you think Godzilla or for that matter, your daughter..." the director turned back to watching Madison, currently helping the hatchling to safely get down.
"... endanger this facility and operatives of Monarch, to ensure the safety of this infant titan?"
"You son of a-," Mark cussed in his mind, god he wished he could say it out loud, but that would have made it only worse, he had to be the bigger man in this conversation.
"No," he grumbled, yet when saying it, something at the back of the mind nagged him. As if it was a half truth.
"Madison trust Monarch, she always wants to help out even if she isn't allowed. Besides, I see no reason they would need to think for it to be endangered."
"Perhaps, we may see in the future." The director said with smug confidence.
Yet at that moment as he was watching outside of the window, seeing Dr. Gojo guide Ms. Russell and the infant back into the facility, he could've sworn Godzilla glanced at him. The gaze of a titan, non the less the king of the monsters, even made a cold hearted person like the director shudder.
Mark on the other hand, smirked, being around Godzilla, having gazed into him before. Even if he wasn't as connected to him as Madison, there was a part of him that understood him, for better or worse.
Guilliaman cleared his throat: "I'll be leaving. I am needed back at HQ, now with this development and so will you, after gathering information from Ms Russell."
Marks smile vanished from his face quickly, letting out an exhausted sigh. No rest in sight soon.
"Reporting to Foster and the rest of the board I assume?"
"Yes, they will want to know more details. The military will be highly interested in these recent developments."
"You think it could jeopardize Monarchs independency."
Not a question, it was something he knew the director was thinking, though in the past the director had his "opinion" on the independency on Monarch and believed a contract with the military might be more beneficial.
Already since Serizawas death the two government branches had been operating a bit more closely, essentially supplying the G-Team and similar operations with resources. From transport to equipment and in the end, people. Which one could guess was better than Monarch falling under complete control of the US government. Given the titans affected things world wide, Mark had been trying to push for making it more collaborative efforts between all governments, but it was hard to pull of at times.
"Perhaps, depending on what I mentioned: how Godzilla and your daughter will act."
"I have learned to trust my daughters' instincts."
"Of course you do, you are her father."
The remark was not left unnoticed by Mark, it wasn't just a slide at him for possibly being biased but also to tell him, it was a boast of being always a step ahead. Before he left the room, Mark rebutted:
"Godzilla died for us, helped us fight Monster Zero, protected us on the expedition to the Hollow Earth, saved Hong Kong from Apex. He puts trust in Madison, and she trust Monarch, we shouldn't destroy an opportunity for-"
"Coexisting with them?"
"Yes, goddamn it!"
The director stood at the door, an escort waiting for him outside and simply gave Mark and ice-cold stare.
"You are a very idealistic man Mr. Russell, just like Dr. Serizawa was..."
Again, Mark noticed something going through the mans head, but could only guess what it would be.
"Gather the necessary info from Ms. Russell and Dr. Chen. We'll be leaving in 30 minutes. You may present your points to the board."
"Understood."
With that the Director left the room, Mark looked back outside, to Godzilla, seeing Madison and the hatchling enter back into the dome. He was uncertain what would happen.
Indeed he trusted Maddie, but he was unsure what she should do the same to them.
Later that day, 7:21
At the late evening, Ilene decided to take Madison out with her to the promenade area nearby.
Madison had spend the entire day with Ijiro in the dome, either playing with it, resting and sleeping with it or taking care when it seemed hungry, which they weren't sure what to feed it exactly. Herself however she hadn't fed at all, so Ilene saw it as opportunity for the two to spend time with each other.
Initially it was super hard for her to get away from the baby, but after double checking like everything and some seeming back and forth with Godzilla, she felt comfortable leaving the sleepy little guy alone for a bit.
They ended up eating at a Greek style restaurant close to the pier, during the dinner Ilene tried to make conversation, though Madison had a bit of a hard time, being really hungry and focusing on her food more than anything. Also feeling that she didn't have much to tell, since Ilene was always around so far for the big events, by herself she didn't do a lot of special things.
"So about the honey you mentioned..."
"What honey- oh you mean the one I talked about with the pilot?"
"Yes, how exactly did that work. I think you never went into reports there either."
"Well it had been a while..." Madison grabbed a fry from her Gyro platted and started to recall some of the events.
"Basically, when Godzilla took me with him on Skull Island, at first we were just staying on the beach. I had injured myself running from some long legs, so he carried me around..."
"What happened then?"
"Well, a storm came along, cause yah know, Skull Island. So he looked around for shelter and found a cave on a cliff side, he put me down before looking into it, seemed like sensed something."
"Let me guess that something was..." Maddie nodded taking a gulp from her cola.
"A giant bees nest, or wasps, honestly hard to tell at the time. But basically, he burned them out and fought a little with the queen. He won, obviously. So we got to stay in the cave overnight, and the next morning when we woke up we ate some of honey that was kind of lying around."
"Weren't you hesitant with it?"
"Kind off, well, I was really hungry at the time, kinda right now too..."
Maddie sheepishly dug into the rest of her food. Last time Ilene saw someone as hungry, it was with a young cousin she had. It reminded her that it had been quite a while since she talked with her family, especially the last couple of months had some tensions after Belvera showed up again and did what she did. Disagreements were had, and Ilene bore the brunt of it for now. Her sister, despite not always meeting her, was still sticking to her side.
Once they were done they decided to take a stroll alongside the promenade, buying a drink or something. Taking a small break Madison leaned onto the rail, overlooking the bay and harbor area. Not much going on, the dark water didn't seem calm but not very turbulent either. The air having that salty smell, the wind being mild.
"I wanted to ask you, what do you plan on doing now?" Ilene leaned with her back on the rail, looking at Maddie, who seemed a bit puzzled.
"You mean like right now, or...?"
"No I mean like, the future. I mean hatchling will have to stay at the facility, but do you want to do that?"
"Not sure I fully follow you..."
"Maddie, you're 16 now, most kids are still just enjoying high school now and don't have to worry about responsibilities like that. Are you sure you want to do this?"
She understood where Chen was coming from. It was something Miki noted before, how young she was being thrust into all of this. This was always a constant debate with herself, even after everything that happened. Though her resolve had strengthen as time went on. One thing that was clear to her was that she wanted to help, she messed up in the past and wanted to do good for that. That had always been her drive forward.
"I've tried living like a "normal" kid before. While I had a good time with it, I think I rather be in the middle of these things. I want to help and I was given the things for that."
"I understand. But maybe taking care for a thing like, Ijiro, might be a bit much."
"Look I get where you are coming from," Maddie sounded a bit annoyed, not to a degree where she was mad at her, just that she had made up her mind already.
"...but... I think this is something I need to do. The little guy always looks at me like I'm his mom and truth be told I do feel like I want to take care of him. I mean, who else could take care of him at this point?"
"Godzilla?"
"I suppose but, he doesn't really stick to one place at a time often, you know that more than me."
Ilene had no comment on that, it was true, Monarch surveyed his movements pretty closely and he rarely stuck to one place too often after the awakening, especially ever since they blew up his old cave.
Madisons turned her had to remove a crack, yawning a little bit.
"There is no other titan I think that would take care for him, or for that matter wouldn't just 'get rid of him' in some other way. As stupid as it sounds, I think we are his best chance so far."
"It doesn't sound stupid, I agree with you just, things are always changing and it might be a lot of responsibility."
"I see but, I had to take responsibility before. Remember, Boston, Hong Kong. I know what thats like-"
Something garnered her attention, her snapped towards the ocean, her eyes meeting the gaze of something else that lied within. This was the worst time, not now. She couldn't change, couldn't defend without people seeing her directly.
"Look, Maddie, this might be a different kind of responsibility, one you might not be ready for... what is it?"
Ilene got her answer quickly, by a siren going off in the far distance, and some jets flying overhead. It all happened rather quickly, it rose from the water, roaring and trashing. Making a loud entrance for how it had just snuck into the bay area so easily.
"Is that-"
"Yeah its the same thing, whats Zilla doing here?"
"Zilla?"
First confused at the name, it became crystal clear to Ilene why she called it that. From its roar sounding so similar to him, to its silhouette in the dark evening making it easy to confuse to the real deal if potentially still as dangerous.
To that however, he seemed to disagree.
Very quickly after it surfaced and its displays, checking out the area, and more concerningly, showed threat displays to the crowds running away, it focused back towards where the facility lied.
Around the edges of glass on the dome, arranged in a circle, orange lights blinked in a slow rhythm in the distance with some lights. At first Madison thought it was attracted towards that, and was ready to take a risk. But another muffled roar from underneath the water seemed to make that line of thought and the stress attached to it pointless.
With unmatched fury Godzilla burst out of the water, quickly standing up at significantly taller height than the imitator Kaiju, who had a more hunched, vertical posture. The entrance of the king of the monsters was marked with silence and shock by the crowd, before they all held their ears as he unleashed a roar, loud enough to be heard for miles.
Zilla stepped back, but seemed foolish enough to make roar back, sounding pitiful and breathy in comparison. It had severely misjudged the situation though, Godzilla wasn't challenging for a fight, he was simply mad it had shown up again in the presence of the hatchling and he would let that rage take hold of him to protect it. This was no challenge: it was singular warning.
The smaller monster knew it would stand no chance in a feats strength, but decided to take advantage of its agility. Zilla took its chance thinking it could maybe outrun him and reach where the young one was.
It ran to the left, removing itself a bit from the pier. With a leap forward it tried to get further away from Godzilla and swim its way there, but instead of the familiar touch of water, its face was met with his tail that he swiped to the side, moving his entire body to the side and utilizing the momento.
The kinetic force made Zilla fly backwards, breaking a part of its cheek as it crashed into more shallow water against a rock. Everything turned and was dizzy for the creature, it tried to quickly get up and stumbled around. In its confusion it spotted the lights of the shops and restaurants on the promenade and started rushing towards them, thinking it would be a way to escape.
Madison stood there as it rushed forward, as if she was paralysed, yet instead of fear it was contempt. Ilene tried to move her but she stood her ground like statue.
For a view seconds Ilene feared for both of them. Yet again Godzilla came in at the right time, just before Zilla was about to reach the pier. The jaws of the king sunk into the neck of the creature, pressing down to tighten his grip, slights of blood coming down from its wound, getting its air cut off.
It would seem Godzilla was about to kill it in cold blood from his rage, yet when his left eye spotted Madison, their gazes meeting, he decided to spare it but would make it an example.
With just the strength of his neck and back, he lifted Zilla up and threw it to the side, back towards the bays entrance. With a loud thunder it crashed into deeper water, the splash making it sound like it rained. A view timid roars and squeaks were heard from it, before it quickly dived in deep. Godzilla still held his position, starring down into the water, sensing where it was. Quickly it surfaced further out in the distant ocean, looking back with fear and exhaustion, feeling a sense of regret.
Godzilla just starred the look alike down before giving out another angry roar, making it clear that the next time there would be no such mercy. With much hast the creature dived down deep and made its way down underground.
So, chapter 5 (or 6, the way the sites count it), we are about a 3rd or so done? Probably not this stories getting a bit bigger than I expected.
ONCE AGAIN, the Summer has caused a hiatus. It was just too hot, 30+ degrees celcius daily, one week we had 35+ degrees EVERY DAY.
Yeah, kind of hell for me, I am not used to these temperatures in my area, overall I just prefer autumn and winter, which luckily arrived!
...with the first week having so much rain we had one of the worst floods for a while, luckily didn't hit me directly but it was a bit rough.
Right after issues arrived in terms of jobs and such for me, which might improve or worsen my chapter output but we must see.
And to kick me while I was down, the votes in the country turned in the favor of some far-right party, which that's gonna be fun to see in the next couple of years...
But hey, I played a lot of Spacemarine 2 and Minecraft with friends, so that also took my attention away.
So overall, things have been on the up and up, I hope now for the rest of the year I can get like 3-4 chapters out. Be on the look out for further informations on my social medias and I hope you enjoyed reading this! Let's see where our team will get...
