The Arrival of Lunadora**
---
The stars whispered.
It was not the sound of wind or the echo of cosmic radiation. It was a frequency only titans could hear — a resonant harmony that rippled across dimensions like the hum of a tuning fork that had struck *the heart of the universe itself*.
Above me, the moon fractured.
Not violently — but as if shedding a chrysalis.
And from within that silver bloom descended **Lunadora**.

### **Narration – Belenus**
I have seen monsters. I have *been* one. I have faced titans that devoured suns and stared into rifts that shredded souls. But this?
This was different.
This wasn't destruction, or even power.
This was *grace* given shape.
She floated down in spirals, three long necks arcing like celestial serpents, trailing sparks of silver and aurora flame. Her wings glided silently, each beat parting clouds and stitching moonlight back together like thread.
Scales shimmered between shades of pearl, lavender, and liquid gold. Eyes like eclipses peered into mine — not with hunger or challenge...
…but with understanding.

### **Arrival – Lunadora Speaks**
> "So you are the one who scarred the sky with fire,"
> "The one who silenced my brother's storm."
> "I am Lunadora, born of the lunar bloodline, last scion of the Celestial Hydra Brood. I do not come to fight, Belenus... but to *see*."
Each of her heads moved with perfect synchronization, every movement both elegant and deliberate — not a beast, but a being of deep intelligence.
> "You burn with creation... and solitude. A dangerous mix."

### **Narration – Belenus**
I did not roar. I did not tense.
Something in her aura soothed me.
Where Ghidorah was hunger, madness, domination — Lunadora was silence, balance, *memory*. She carried storms not to destroy... but to cleanse.
My flame pulsed, uncertain.
Was this... kinship?

### **A Meeting of Titans**
We circled one another through the vast gardens of the Astral Plateau. Each footstep of hers sprouted crystalline flora. Her breath curled rain from the clouds, leaving trails of stardust behind.
> **Lunadora:** "I felt it the moment Ghidorah died. The last of his echo shivered through the Fold... and then it vanished. You didn't just kill him. You *purged* him."
> **Belenus:** "He left me no choice. He came not to fight, but to conquer."
> **Lunadora:** "And yet... your fire has not consumed you."
> **Belenus:** "It *almost* did."
Silence lingered between us.
Not awkward.
Sacred.

### **The Shared Memory**
She stepped closer. Her central head tilted, golden eyes narrowing.
> "Do you remember the Garden of Umbra?"
The question hit me like gravity reversing.
Yes.
I had never *known* the name — yet I remembered it. A grove of mirrored trees under a glass moon. A memory from another life… another form.
> "We were both there once. In different cycles. You were fire... I was rain."
> "Perhaps we've been dancing across lifetimes, always missing each other."
I didn't know how to respond.
So I didn't.
I simply looked at her. And for the first time in countless battles, in aeons of cosmic war…
I lowered my head.

### **Lunadora's Offer**
She turned, spreading her wings wide.
> "You seek to become a god, Belenus. Not a tyrant. Not a savior. A *force* that shapes reality — not by ruling... but by *understanding*."
> "But no god walks alone."
Lightning curled at her feet, not jagged, but spiral — like galaxies forming beneath her.
> "Let me walk beside you. Not as a servant. Not as a challenger. But as something... more."
Her three heads came close. The center whispered.
> "Let me be your storm."
---
### **Narration – Belenus**
In that moment, I did something I hadn't done in countless eons.
I trusted.
I stepped forward, flames dimming not in weakness, but in warmth.
And as our cores aligned — flame to storm — a resonance echoed out into the stars.
Not destruction.
Not domination.
**Harmony.**

### **Elsewhere – The Rift Reacts**
The Rift that Ghidorah came through rippled.
But not from instability.
From *recognition*.
Two ancient powers had aligned.
And something *else* had just awakened across the veil.
A new player.
A darker one.
One who had feared the reunion of flame and thunder.
