Chapter 19
One year had passed since Rodan found out that Ghidorah was alive. The Titan and the alien had gotten along with each other since then. In a way, they could connect to one another. For example, both Ni and Rodan often talked about their battles from the past. The prehistoric reptile and Ichi discussed about the best hunting places and different hunting techniques for different whales. San and his lover talked about everything together, sharing their stories and feelings. The three headed dragon would always listen to what the Fire Demon had to say about certain issues and was always there to comfort him when something was bringing his spirits down. The King of the Skies also kept the False King safe from the other Titans, never once telling anyone that he was alive and well and living with him in his volcano. It was risky and there would be consequeneces if they were caught. For Ghidorah, it would be death. No doubt about that. For Rodan, the punishment could range from exile to death. But neither of them really cared about that topic much. In fact, it was the last thing on their minds at the moment.
Peeking over the ridged rim of the volcano's crater to check if the coast was clear, Rodan smiled quietly. Glancing over his shoulder, he whispered, "Clear as a crystal." He clambered out of the volcano and up onto a large rock nearby. The full moon shined high above, the stars shining brightly all around it as they lit up the dark night sky. The large prehistoric reptile watched as all three heads of Ghidorah pulled themselves out of the volcano. Standing beside his lover, San lowered his head and asked, "Are you ready for this?" Nuzzling the dragon's cheek, the Fire Demon replied without hesitation, "I've een waiting for this moment for so long that I've been impatient all day since you asked me this morning." The pair shared a loving kiss while San's brothers looked away. Rolling his ruby red eyes in annoyance, Ni muttered, "Let's just get this over with cuz it's awkward for both me and Ichi here." The two lovers blushed guiltily. Glancing over at the left head, the King of the Skies opened his wings and took to the air with little effort. Spreading their wings to their full length, the Death Song of Three Storms joined him just as some dark clouds began to roll in, providing them some cover as they climbed higher and higher into the sky.
Lightning flashing all around him, Rodan paid no attention to it. His bright yellow eyes were gazing right into San's ruby red ones while the two flying creatures circled each other. Ichi and Ni had their necks stretched out, watching where they were going while giving the two lovers space. It wasn't long until both broke through the cloud cover. They were so high in the air that their only audience was the moon and stars. The thunderstorm that Ghidorah had created raged on benteath them. Still circling each other, the Fire Demon and the False King reached out towards each other and locked talons. For a brief moment, San and Rodan pulled their heads close, their foreheads touching each other's. Then they begun to sprial down towards the Earth below, never once letting go of each other. The lightning and roaring thunder seemed to fade away in the background as the left head kept his eyes focused on those of the King of the Skies. Plummeting down through the storm as they spun out of control, they fell from the dark clouds and were fast approaching the ocean below. At the last second, the alien and the Titan unlocked their talons and seperated before climbing back up into the air towards each other. The Death Song of Three Storms grabbed a hold of the One Born of Fire and pulled him close to their chest while the thunderstorm slowly dissipated. San and Rodan nuzzled each other lovingly, leaving their scent on the other. Their courtship complete, the alien released the Titan. Flashing a mischievious grin at his new mate, the Fire Demon shot off like a rocket through the sky. Their wings beating the air, Ghidorah chased him at high speeds. It was like they were on an aerial roller coaster has they chased each other back towards their volcano home. Unbeknownst to them, someone had been watching them.
Misinterpreting the chase as an attack, Scylla swam as fast as she could while she stated, "I have to warn the King."
