The Hybrids Of The Before-Time
In the middle of the night, at the exterior of Stolas's mansion at night, Stolas and Stella were asleep in the master bedroom. A young girl's frightened voice can be heard from offscreen.
Octavia (Young): *muffled* Mummy! Daddy!
Stolas is roused from his sleep. He turns to Stella who has most of the blanket.
Stolas: *sleepily* Mmph. Via's calling us, Stella.
Stella: *sleepily & annoyed* You get up.
Stolas sighs and gets out of bed. He enters Octavia's room, where she is hiding beneath her blankets.
Stolas: Via? What troubles you, my owlet?
Octavia (Young): *sobbing* Daddy! Daddy!
Octavia climbs down from her bed and runs into her father's arms. Stolas hoists her up to comfort her.
Octavia (Young): *sobbing* I had a dream! A really bad dream!
Stolas yawns and wipes away Octavia's tear, correcting her.
Stolas: A nightmare.
Octavia (Young): *sobbing* I was looking all over the palace, and... I couldn't find you anywhere! You weren't there!
Stolas: *rubs Octavia on the back comfortingly* There there, Via, it's okay. You're okay.
He summons his grimoire to him telekinetically as he walks Octavia back to bed.
Stolas: When you're scared, and you don't know where I am, you must remember...
His grimoire floats over to him. He telekinetically flips it open.
Stolas: No matter what happens to me, I will never be far away... from my special little starfire.
Stolas begins singing a lullaby to little Octavia.
Stolas (Singing): 🎵It always seems more quiet... in the dark🎵
He opens a portal above himself and Octavia. She looks up in awe of the beauty of space through the portal.
Stolas (Singing): 🎵It always feels so stark... how silence grows under the moon🎵
Stolas and young Octavia float up through the portal and into the cosmos, landing on a barren moon.
Stolas (Singing): 🎵Constellations gone so soon
I used to think that I was bold🎵
Walking across the moon, Stolas leaves footprints in the dust.
Stolas (Singing): 🎵I used to think love would be fun🎵 Now, all my stories have been told. Except for one...🎵
He looks down at young Octavia, and she looks back with her large, curious eyes. Her gaze shifts to a pink glow to her side.
Stolas (Singing): 🎵As the stars start to align
I hope you take it as a sign that you'll be okay 🎵
A meteor begins its descent towards a giant, pink colored star.
Stolas (Singing): 🎵Everything will be okay🎵
The meteor makes contact with the pink star, and begins to sink beneath the molten surface.
Stolas (Singing): 🎵And if the Seven Rings collapse🎵
Multiple planetary bodies begin gravitating toward the pink star, including the moon that Stolas and Octavia currently reside on, which eventually shatters into pieces as the star's gravity pulls on it.
Stolas (Singing): 🎵Although, the day could be my last You will be okay🎵
Octavia yawns and falls asleep contentedly against her father's chest.
Stolas (Singing): 🎵When I'm gone, you'll be okay...🎵
Distant planetary bodies fly through the cosmos, pulled in by the pink star's incredible gravitational pull. They disintegrate upon impact and causes the star to explode in a powerful supernova just as the portal closes behind Stolas causing him to sing louder.
Stolas (Singing): 🎵And when Creation goes to die
You can find me in the sky
Upon the last day🎵
Stolas drapes Octavia in a blanket.
Stolas (Singing): 🎵And you will be okay...🎵
His lullaby finished, the screen was black, stars then started to shine upon the darkness.
??? #1: Hey, Daddy?
??? #2: Yes?
??? #1: Can you tell me a story?
??? #2: Sure. Which one?
??? #1: I'm... not sure.
??? #2: Don't worry, sweetie. I got a story for you.
??? #1: Really? Please, do tell.
Soon, the stars start to take the form of the hybrids.
??? #2: Long ago, before I was born, there a race of powerful beings called hybrids. Hybrids were a remarkable and rare species that were located on the Pride Ring. They were a race of two combined species of a human and a designated animal. They were master shape shifters.
A hybrid then transformed his body into a dragon and then a werewolf.
??? #2: They had powerful abilities beyond comprehension.
Another hybrid shot fire from her hands and from her mouth.
??? #2: The hybridization was able to travel Hell to their heart's content. They were even able to travel to the mortal realm at ease. The hybrids were something else entirely. Unfortunately, it did not last long. King Lucifer, the King of Hell, thought that if the hybrids were to gain even more power, they could threaten his rule of Hell. So, he sent his best demons to combat the hybrids.
Lucifer was then seen on the throne and yelled out to his demons. He then pointed at the hybrids and the demons and the hybrids began fighting.
??? #2: The hybrids were very powerful and they managed to win. Unfortunately, Lucifer attacked them when their guard was down and stole their power.
They hybrids stood victorious, but Lucifer held his palm out and vanquished the hybrids.
??? #2: After augmenting their powers that he stole from them, he handed them over to a few selected demons and then reigned the Overlords. And my father, Paimon, was one of the demons.
Soon, the light came on and revealed to be a bedroom and Stolas and a child named Octavia was seen.
Young Octavia: That really happened, Dad?
Stolas: Unfortunately, yes. The hybrids were never heard of or seen ever again. Since I was your age, I was always hoping that I could get the chance to meet one in person, but it was too good to be true.
Young Octavia: Well, no offense to Lord Lucifer, but that was a cowardly tactic.
Stolas: Indeed it was. But, King Lucifer understood the threat that the hybrids posed if they banded together.
Young Octavia: Wow. It would've been an honor to meet one in person. You think there's more out there?
Stolas: Probably. Who knows? Maybe one managed to survive and is out there, waiting to be found.
Young Octavia: I hope so... The hybrids sound so ancient and godlike.
Stolas: Hehehehe. Yes. Yes, they do. Alright, get some sleep, Octavia. Tomorrow, we've got a big day planned.
Young Octavia: Alright, Dad. Love you.
Stolas: Love you, too.
He then kissed Octavia's forehead and walked away while Octavia fell asleep.
