Blinking his yellow eyes open the next morning, Rodan felt sore all over. He had a bit of a headache and his vision was a little hazey. He could barely remember a thing that happened in the past few hours as he tried to get his thoughts together. Glancing over to his right, he found San, the dragon having had curled his neck around the large prehistoric reptile. At the same time, the memories of last night came rushing in. Blushing a bright red that made the fire on his wings glow orange, the Fire Demon leaned over and kissed his mate's cheek lovingly. Smiling, the left head of Ghidorah nuzzled him and whispered, "Good morning beautiful." A purr rumbling in his throat, the King of the Skies spoke softly, "Morning my Alpha."

"It's actually the afternoon," Ichi's remark shook the two mates out of their little moment. The pair looked up to find the middle head and Ni wide awake and grooming one another, careful of the horns. Turning to face the lovers, Ichi explained, "We all slept in late." Pausing in his grooming procession to his older brother's chin, Ni added on, "We missed breakfast and lunch was supposed to be an hour ago." Glancing at the volcano's crater, Rodan could see the sun high above. He went to get to his feet, ready to go fishing. However, his muscles screamed at him not to move. Gently placing a wing on his lover's shoulder, San spoke softly, "Stay. We'll bring food." Looking up at his mate, the Fire Demon pointed out, "But you can't go out there in the middle of the day. You might be seen."

"Don't worry, we're going to bring some cover," Ichi said reassuringly just as some foggy clouds rolled in out of nowhere, so thick that it blotted out the sun.

"We'll be back before you know it sweetheart," San told Rodan, kissing him. Smiling happily, the King of the Skies stepped back while Ghidorah rose to his full height. Spreading his immense wings, the Death Song of Three Storms took to the air and went hunting under the cover of the thick gray fog. Watching them until they disappeared, the prehistoric reptile sighed quietly. Every muscle in his body was crying out in agony, everything was sore and hurting. His head pounded from the force of his headache. Using slow movements, the One Born of Fire crept towards the pool of molten lava inside the volcano. Quietly entering, he let out a huge sigh of relief as it soothed the aching muscles in his body. Dipping his head unnder, he resurfaced after a few seconds. Leaning back against some rocks, he closed his eyes and breathed slowly and calmly. Relaxing while his headache eventually dissipated, Rodan glanced down at his right shoulder. Seeing the mark San had left there made he smile quietly. It declared that he belonged to someone who loved and appreciated him. Nuzzling the mark, he purred. At the same time, he heard wings flapping.

"We're back!" all three heads of Ghidorah declared, entering the volcano with a giant blue whale clasped in their huge claws. Smiling when he saw that they had returned safe and sound, Rodan clambered out of the pool of lava and crept over. He and the left head nuzzled each other lovingly before all four of them began to eat their late lunch. In the meantime, the fog outside vanished, no longer needed. His beak covered in whale blood while fresh meat went down his throat and into his stomach, Rodan was hungrily digging in. He felt like he had gone centuries without any food to eat. Stealing a glance over just as the prehistoric reptile plunged his head deep into the whale guts, Ni commented, "Someone's hungry this morning."

"We're all hungry. We missed breakfast, remember?" Ichi reminded Ni, a rib bone dangling from the corner of his mouth.

It wasn't long until the three headed dragon and the Titan finished their meal, leaving the bones to gnaw on later. Right now, they were grooming each other, cleaning off the blood and guts that was all over their faces. Reaching up to clean some tiny pieces of meat from his mate's horns, Rodan let out a soft moan as he felt San's tongue move from his head down to his neck and shoulders. It ran over his wings and chest, even going as far as his stomach. His body heating up and raditaing off of him in waves, the large prehistoric reptile whimpered quietly in pleasure, enjoying every second of this as he closed his eyes and panted. San was enjoying this too as he purred. Clearing his throat, Ni mumbled, "Ca you guys not do that after we ate please? Maybe wait until tonight?" Both lovers smiled nervously. Ichi sighed with relief since he felt like hwas going to be sick. Yawning, he was about to take a nap when they all felt the ground shake. Chills running up his spine, the middle head murmured, "Someone please tell me that was just an earthquake."

The thundering roar outside the volcano denied the earthquake theory and instead filled all four with dread.
