Doing It All For Love...

[Nova Lycan]

"Ah..."

   "Let me just...get this thing here..."

           "There she is! Hope he don't mind if I borrow it...then again, guess he won't know huh? Heheh..."


In the dead of what appears to be night, around a camp fire sits a litany of people. Each of them seem to be dressed in armor or at least some form of regal attire. A lot of them look to be Drakanites, a few are Giants, and even less are Beastkin. One of them is a certain kaiju who manages to, after doing some searching, pull out what looked to be a guitar, one that she made with a Jotun so long ago. Near her was a white haired man with a more dusky skin tone, and a woman with a lighter one. Both of them were just holding hands while watching, waiting.

   And what were they waiting on, you ask?

A song...

"How did it go again...? OH! Ahem!"

~I am a poor wayfarin' stranger...just travelin' through this world below...
There is no sickness, toil or danger, in that bright land to which I go...~

~I'm goin' there to see my father, and all my loved ones, who've gone on...
I'm just travelin'...to the mountain, I'm only goin'...over home!~

As she played, as she sang, one by one the figures would stand to their feet, all of them not moving from where they stood and instead remained looking towards her. Some were crying tears of joy, others smiling with pride. A large ground of armored individuals would even give her a fist to chest salute. Behind her, in that blanket of darkness eventually would come a door that would open, and in would bleed a light. It's brightness would seemingly beckon, it even caused the Kaiju to turn her head to give an over the shoulder glance-- at least for a moment...

~I know dark clouds will gather round me, I know my way..is hard and steep...
But beauteous fields arise before me, where god's redeemed their vigils keep...~

~I'm goin' there to see my mother, she said she'd meet me...when I come...
So I'm just travelin'...to my mountain, I'm only goin'...over home!~

And then she too would finally stand, dainty fingers still plucking and strumming at the strings of her second creation made manifest in this sweet in-between. Her feet would move, a turn as she kept playing. A steady pace towards that bright, beautiful light. Behind her, the mother and father would be the first to follow, but soon did the rest. All of them now revealed to be the forgotten, the sacrificed, the brave, the bold. All free from the shackle that is the mortal coil, and yet all here to greet their Kaiju, all to welcome her to great beyond. And as she closed in, no hesitation, no regret in the face of the end...she would keep singing.

~And so I'm travelin'...to my mountain, I'm only goin'...over home...~
