WhiteTiger's writings more story updates High-fantasy with realism, all tag types The Tiger's Nest Part 2 Chapter 4 Walking through the forest, enjoying the night air, the sounds and feel from it after so long was invigorating as she thought out different scenarios for getting rid of the human populations, one massive strike at a time. As her awareness was always present throughout the earth and of all the changes, technology and general advances made by humans, she took them into self consideration also. They are nothing but a self destructive accident of nature, a random mutation that managed to survive, despite the odds and fits with nothing in natures scheme or way of things, not even having a spirit to represent them in the council. Even by my actions now, the populations and the advancements of humans over the next small one hundred years will bring about their own demise, but I WILL not wait that long because it will destroy the earth and the other living beings on it too. I want the pleasure of doing it myself., as she stopped and put her nose up into the air, smelling the fresh air and any information in the currents. Continuing on, she thought, If that so called Archaeologist had only known the real meaning of my name, he might have had a clue, as she laughed to herself, knowing her name meant Tiger and protector of earth in that ancient language. I dont want my brother and sister spirits upset nor do I want to cause too much harm to the plants and animals that live with in the human realm or around it., she considered and then laid down to rest in newly fallen pile of leaves, loving the fresh smell of the forest, enjoying the small version of her physical form, she felt the dew slowly covering her body and drifted into a blissful sleep. Deep in a dream state, VyGhra was watching from above, and saw earthquakes destroying cites, dangerous volcanoes erupting, destroying entire populated areas, disease spreading like wild fire, Polar shifting, massive drops and rising of temperatures and rising sea levels. Huge hurricanes, Tsunames, Tornadoes, all in the largest target towns all over the world and spreading into the urban areas, she continued to dream. Waking up, she said to her self, It is time to call a council of the great spirits to see what they have to say. Rising up, she slowly loosened her physical form and became the wind and the clouds as loosed spirit of all elements, Raising into the sky, and once high enough, she began the roar that no human could hear, making a request and a calling for a gathering of the great spirits. Hearing the summons after so much time had passed by the council head herself, they all began flocking to the meeting spot upon a massive cumulus floating cloud. Every spirit appeared from the spirits of each i the smallest viruses and bacteria, insects, arachnids, all the way to the largest and greatest mammals, even those millions upon millions that lived in the waters. Sharing with them her desires and thought during the meeting, no one could really argue, as they have first hand and have witnessed the destruction of and the destructive nature of humanity over each of their kind and over the earth for thousands and thousands of years. We will choose out a tactical plan to get all of your kind out of the destruction and death zones in time enough for hopefully most to survive. I am deeply sorry in advance for any of your precious living ones that are hurt or killed in the process. Speaking up, the deer spirit said, My kind are often prey food for the predator species but we live on and and are strong. With each one of ours that pass, we gently bring each one of their spirits to us and guide them into a new incarnation, as is the way of nature. We all understand this, even you more mighty VyGhra, which is why you called us. Responding to his awakened and responsible comment, VyGhra then posed an important question. What of the golden dragon, sleeping within the mountain of the Tigers Nest. What if he should awaken? Backing down, all the spirits in consensus spoke the same thing, That is your fight great spirit, as it is your duty to protect the earth, it is his duty, to maintain balance, which includes humans., they told her. No doubt if he wakes, a battle will rage between you two once again as we just said, your fight is for our earth and he fights for balance that includes humans., they told her again. Accepting of their wisdom and words, VyGhra began the plan of putting her knowledge and ingenuity into a plan, and then to start those into actions. Dispersing quickly, they all left to prepare their kind for what is to come. Alone, she floating free above the earth and moved with it in the air currents. First will be massive, quick spreading deadly viruses on humans only and has a strong chance of decreasing the amount of humans by hopefully ninety percent, leaving approximately only seven hundred thousand left in the world, being released in all the major current continents and cities, all over the world, where the humans congregate the most and where the world of nature is the least., she planned. This will destroying those living in those nests, they call cities and nothing will be left but ghost cities. The virus spirits and their parasitic carriers spirits have agreed with me, and will work with me to create a devastating, fast acting disease that will spread and destroy those entire pockets of populations within days., she smiled happily at her thoughts. They wont even have time to sound an alarm. Looking into the earth, making up the modern world, Thinking again, she said to herself, My next strike will be on all cities on the fault lines of the current tectonic plates with massive earthquakes, followed by huge volcanoes, completely annihilating the existence of those entire cities, crushing them to dust, and covering them. All human life that may still be left hiding in there will also be destroyed., she said with a smile as she casually searched to find the current fault lines and volcanic zones, destroying those nests, where any human might be surviving or hiding. Absorbing all the current conditions and dangerous zones, she began the preliminary work of agitating the Ring of Fire and all the various tectonic fault lines to increase their activities and agitating them. Next she affected the currents of air drifts and the weathers pre conditions, setting them up for what they too will become. The earthquakes and volcanoes will come second after the viruses, then there will be massive storms, hitting every city on the coast lines that might be left, and mighty thunder and lightening storms for days ensue after wards, creating irreparable floods throughout the land itself, to be followed by massive amounts of tornadoes which will then descend., she self repeated, again. Soon after, the, temperature of the earth will change and become hotter, as I reduce the ozone covering our precious planet for a short while, melting the polar ice caps and letting in rays of light that will fry the humans alive. Forcing then in groups inside to hide., she continued, repeating her addenda, while looking below at the earth. This would be a good time to initialize a second stages of the viruses. I will ask them to prepare, thus clearing out the pockets of durable humans that yet remain and are hidden., she finished with. Finally, in the end, I will hunt the isolated few down my self and feed them to the predators of this earth, which will be rebalanced again., she proudly anticipated. Still thinking to her self, All the spirits are being notifying by ruling spirits to come as was discussed in the counsel and where and how to making preparations., she thought some more, but the suddenly heard the internal grindings and rumblings of the first signs of the build up of the agitating energy under the Earths crust and the currents in the air shifting, showing the signs changes in the earth and of the weather changes soon to happen after the viruses, earthquakes and volcanoes. Biding her time, she waited for things to start getting stronger within the earth and the short time for the viruses to be worked out through the various DNA mutations which humans didn't know about yet, creating the effects and rapid death. She then decided to take a tour and tally all the remaining forests of the world and all the animal life, Those that were extinct, endangered or soon to be extinct from human broke her heart for being so helpless to stop it all this time. The damage humans have caused was atrocious but nature is always the survivor., she said to herself and finished by saying, And will survive this, becoming stronger and better than ever and all of nature would be in balance. Resting and visiting with her physical tigers all over the world, the viruses and parasite spirits finally came to her with seven unimaginable diseases. Looking at them with pride, she said, You have made me very proud and I am humbled by you and your great work.. Thank you my brothers and sisters., she offered. If it would please you, would you now go to each of the seven current continents as they exist now and find good hosts and carriers and introduce them into their massive work populations, groups, organizations, foundation and even their human hospitals. It must be a quick and fatal strike. Bowing her head to them, she chuffed at them in love and recognition. Stop!, she said suddenly, Just a minute, Antarcticas population is next to nothing but for modern explorers and scientists, while Asia is the largest continent on earth at this moment. I think I have a better idea, if it also pleases you. Skip Antarctica for now and place two viruses in two different sections of Asia instead. Would you be fine with that?, she asked. Agreeing, just loving the idea of more, they whole completely complied. Will you place the virus into Nepal, to spread quickly south into India, across the countries to the east, including Bhutan, which was my cell for so long, through into Korea and up into China? Then, place the next one right in the middle of the Capitol of Russia, then spreading its way into Saudi Arabia and more. That should work nicely, dont you think?, she finished off. Thanking them once more, they were immediately on their way. Chapter 5 Coincidence or not, the mosquitoes from the humidity are always a problem in Kathmandu, which happened to be the Capitol of Nepal, and the very same city that Miles Harland had stayed in, warned there by that shape shifting fortune teller. As the mosquitoes were all filled with virus as well as was every parasitic creature there Katmandu was also the originating starting point Sold into slavery as a child, a common whore living in a box there on the streets, where she also took care of her customers was the first one bitten, as she smacked it away, while getting ready to take in a regular customer. He was a proper man, well known and respected, married with 6 children so far, but he had a need that only a common street whore could or would satisfy and she was the best at it. A single mother of 3 in Moscow, Russia, using the black market to try to get some fresh fruit for her family bought some apples. Inside one of the apples, was a worm filled with the virus and if taken in through the body, its excretions release the virus. Coming home, her middle child was so excited when he saw the fresh apples, as such was so rare, he grabbed it and ate it with great delight. As such, two different viruses were now introduced into the Asian continent. On their own, they loved the ideal of the two planting locations, even if the virus was the same and the spirits of the viruses and the parasites decided to do the same with the other remaining 4 continents. In North America, it was released in the west cost in Los Angeles, CA, and on the east coast, New York, New York. In South America in was introduced in to the north, in the Capital, Caracas, Venezuela, to spread east, west and into Central America, as the North American Virus would be spreading downwards. The next introduction to the South American continent was to the south in the capital of Buenos Aires, in Argentina, to spread west and go north. The western coast of the mainland in Europe, the country of France was selected and was placed in Paris to spread north, south and eastward, while to the west of Europe, it was introduced into Bucharest, Romania. In the capital of Perth in Western Australia, in Australia, it was introduced to the western section and to the east in Brisbane, Queensland. The millions of small islands would have to wait, but not too long. Wanting the best view, VyGhra watched high above on a cloud the horrid viruses spreading like wild fire, all over the world. Borders were being closed, which was useless and people were dying within three days of the symptoms starting, but the sweetest thing she thought, was the two week gestation time, so it was everywhere before anyone knew what was happening. Billions upon billions of humans were dying, leaving their cities littered with corpses, as those not dead yet, dug mass graves to bury the bodies as fast as they could. Of coarse other diseases and infestations would occur as a secondary result, and soon, the carnivores could move in, for those humans whose flesh was still good to consume, no longer having to hide or be afraid any more. Laughing loudly in the face of this, a hint of madness could be seen in her eyes, from all those centuries in the shell. Deep within the earth, the rumblings and building of agitation continued to grow exponentially, while those humans managing to survive so far, were jamming up their highway systems. Finding this funny again, as the viruses were designed to be airborne, she started humming to herself, remembering her beloved mate and their love and time together. Soon, my love, soon, she said out loud as if he were still with her, the earth will tremble, tear and boil forth, killing and destroying more and more, even those that have managed to survive this and their nests they call cities too! Hearing a noise from the Earth, she felt and saw the first signs of the upheavals beginning to occur. She hadnt expected it this soon but is just as well. Anticipation filling her mind, she it felt again, seeing more and more signs, as the earth quakes beginning from every direction and of every kind of earthquake on the highest scale the humans used to measure them. Cities were being split and crushed as the earth itself began its own rejection of humanity, including the small, unpopulated areas that the humans were heading including everything, big or small in between. In the Himalayas, the mountains surged and bellowed, ripping open. For some reason, the Sanctuary of the Tigers nest had missed all the plagues and the destruction of the earthquake, most likely because of their isolation and the time of the festival was over, or was it? Deep within the very end of the cave, where Miles had found the white Conch, hidden well inside the mountain, the giant sleeping gold spirit and body of the Dragon stirred. As hers was while in the shell, for him it was through his sleep that his consciousness had remained aware, in that dream like state and memories and the process of awakening began to clear his foggy mind, remembering it was he who visited the archeologist in Kathmandu to warn him before slipping back into dreams. Starting to stretch his long golden, snake like body and flex his legs, he shook and ruffled his large golden main, and slowly opened his eyes, glowing an ominously bright electric green. The ground was being torn apart as the mountains were all around him. Remembering the past and the conditions of humanity from his floating consciousness, his eyes suddenly opened bright and huge as he broke his way from the rock encasing him for so long and he jutted down the snake like shaped cave. The cave was shaped like that for a reason but no one every really knew why. Flying high with great speed and power high into the sky, he saw the destruction and earthquakes, the activated volcanoes erupting, throwing large amounts of toxic gasses into the atmosphere and the lava erupting, exploding and pouring out, destroying everything in sight. He felt the loss of millions of human lives also. The presence of humanity couldnt even be felt anymore in all of this but he sensed the energies of all the other life forms on the planet and let out a huge, earth shaking roar, that echoed through the sky and all over the Earth, herself. VyGhra ! Where are you and what have you done?!, he demanded and accused at the same time. From her cloud, enjoying the beauty of humanities destruction, VyGhra heard the tremendous roar and his summon for her. The time has come finally., she said to herself and gathered up all her energy and the energy of the Earth, which was at its greatest right now, engulfing her body in huge blue flames and power. Sheathing and unsheathing her claws, preparing her body and mind for battle, she took to the skies to meet him. Coming face to face with him, his eyes ferocious with rage, she looked at him, crouching low, ready for anything, VyGhra said, Hello Nantimitolo., in a menacing voice then mocking him she continued, Where is the Nanti, happy and friendly part of you that makes up your name? While you have been sleeping and oblivious to the world, the balance you so call stand for and are responsible is gone, destroyed by humans as they are destroying all the animals, the forests and the planet itself. I warned you no, We warned you so long ago, but you wouldnt listen! Now it is my job to protect the earth since you didnt maintain the balance., she told him confrontationally. The intense glow in his eyes softened a bit and he looked at her. What do you mean VyGhra ? Show this to me, but wait, it seems there is nothing left to show is there, since you have ravaged the world!,, Nantimitolo said mocking and accusing her. If you wont take my word for it, call the counsel of spirits for their own personal opinions. Every spirit at the counsel agreed and cooperated fully. If that does not satisfy you, , suddenly burning so bright as huge hot blue flames filled the sky with her presence and energy, Then we shall battle once more! Chapter 6 Summoning the spirits of the entire living kingdom outside humanity, for they didnt have one, nor ever have, VyGhra bellowed a might fierce roar, full of command and ferocity, as she was ready for anything. Each spirit of the surviving living kingdoms handed down orders to the next in line for the protection of each of their kind, as they took to the almost completely black skies. So many volcanic eruptions at once had filled the atmosphere with ash and toxic gasses, as they searched for the large black cloud that had been selected for the meeting. All gathered, VyGhra stood before them and thanked them for coming. Loving each one so dearly, she only summoned them as witnesses and would never put them in harms way. On the edge, opposite this gathering sat Nantimitolo, his long dragons snake like body splayed across the length of the area, talons digging into the wet blackness they were on as if it were solid. His giant gold body was tense, as his massive mane stood almost on end, with sparks of simmering green lightening jumping randomly from his eyes and mouth. Working hard to control his breathing, a great well of massive green lightening boiled in his center. Being the ruler of balance, it was reasonable to hear the other spirits, nor would he hurt them. They were not the cause of all of this. SHE was. Fully aware and conscious now, he remembered his beautiful mate, from so long ago. Each scale she had was like a precious gem, reflecting the light of more than a rainbow. Long and lithe her beautiful body was, but no mane did she have, as she was sleek and smooth as a perfectly frozen pond, shining in the winters sun without a flaw, decorated by a rim of triangular spikes, like a crown starting at her brow and following down the length of her body. Loving and patient with him, she put up with so much of his growling, always there to sooth him, talk with him and love him. Deprived of that forever by VyGhra , when she attacked his mate out of no where, tearing her into pieces from the rage of the death of her own mate, at the hands of humans, the great spirit of life, VyGhra, now also had to bear her mates position, as the great spirit of death also. There was a great imbalance in her, having to bear both roles as there was in him now, for he also has had to bear the responsibility of the world that is seen, maintaining it's balance with that of his mates, who was the spirit of that which is present but unseen or not expressed but present. Back then, he held his wrath and bound her in the sacred white conch shell engraved with the spiritual symbols, with the colored bead being the final piece to hold her in, as he withdrew into the sacred mountains to sleep and find peace from the pain from the loss of his beloved. Loosing perspective, she had been driven mad by the new responsibilities, all that time there the great mourning of her mate. Understanding that deeply, as she took the life of his mate, hes hoped that time in the conch would cool her and giver her time to grieve, handing the conch to a sacred spiritual man and entrusting it to him and those to follow. It had worked well as the planet flourished, until the human, full of ego, unlike the monks who had none, found it and was eventually seduced by her skills. The eternity of black solitude in an abyss of blackness was the curse upon him now for his weak mind and body, despite his dreamy severe warning that he had given him. It was too late, humanity was shattered. The earth and it's balance was shattered. The future was no longer in sight, as the earth and sky around him and below him was like a broken and burned mirror. The presence of humans could no longer be felt by him. Before he acted, he needed to control himself and be reasonable, as she called for the each one of the spirits as witnesses to what they had seen for themselves through the ages. Listening to each one, it took days, as the destruction of the earth beneath them continued, as it had already been set into motion. Hearing each of the spirits, knowing they stood behind her and some even aided her, he was frustrated at himself, her and with humans. What had gone so wrong with the humans? He was baffled and understood her position as he listened. Looking before the entire array of the spirits and life represented here, he slowly stood up and bowed to them, not to her, to them, and asked forgiveness for his lack of presence in maintaining the balance, as he had slept in his mountain, hiding from the pain of the loss of his own mate. Looking at her, he did not bow but instead challenged her, I know it is not your responsibility to maintain balance and carry both the burdens of life and death VyGhra, but you have gone too far, TOO FAR!, he roared at her. No matter the slow destruction of life or the planet its self, other measures could and should have been taken first before this!, as he looked down and the crumpled earth below him. Responding to him, she challenged back, If you had not locked me away for so long and you hiding away inside the mountain in the bliss of forgetful sleep and done your duty, none of THIS would have had to happen!, she accused back. Looking at her menacingly, I hear and understand the spirits and why they supported you, but again, I tell you, the total destruction of all humans is not necessary as they, whether you like it or not are a product and a natural part of this planet!, he snarled menacingly at her. Repeating again at her, You have gone too far and I will not let you go any farther! Enough death and destruction has gone on and if there are any humans left, they, like the rest of the planet and its life will have to start over again and it WILL!, he proclaimed violently at her. IT WILL NOT! HUMANS DO NOT NOR EVER HAVE BELONGED HERE! I, NO WE TOLD YOU THAT SEVERAL TIMES SO LONG AGO AND LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO HIM AND HAVE DONE SO FAR. CAN YOU IMAGINE IN A CENTURY OR TWO WHAT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THIS RATE?, she demanded of him again. Regardless, it is my responsibility to maintain balance and that I will do but you will stop now all the rest of your plans and let it go VyGhra!, he ordered her. I will NOT Nantimitolo!, as she lowered her self, while her spiritual body began to grow huge with massive powerful blue flames flying from her body and seething out of her bright big blue eyes, ready for battle. Looking at the other spirits, she told them to flee quickly to their own kind and take care of them while Nantimitolo, in return also became larger and larger, as massive green lightening burst forth from the power inside him from his huge glowing ominous eyes and mouth. Looking at him, she held a hidden rage in her voice as she told him, You will have to kill me before any of this will stop! If that is the case, no matter how strong you have gotten, then that is how it must be and will be!, he said on one final note, before lunging at her with lightening speed, talons and teeth extended, ready to loosen the swell of energy within him. Moving fast, out of his reach in less than seconds, she was instantly on his back, claws dug in deep into his flesh, riding him. While gathering her energy, she opening her eyes wide to release a powerful jet blue fire upon his back. At that moment, while they were twisting and turning in rapid decent, neither cared at the moment, as she was releasing the massive blue flames upon his back and head, Nantimitolo turned his giant maned head, doubling black on himself and grabbed VyGhra across her back, yanking him off her as the jet of immense blue flames she released, jutted from her mouth and eyes out into the open atmosphere. Deep tears from her claws as he ripping her off of him left his back with four areas of massing tearing of his flesh. Angered deeply now, he began to crush her in his jaws, pinning her and sinking his teeth piercing her as the great swell of his green lightening was making its way up his throat. Turning her top half around, while pinned in his mouth, she reached out with her front paws, extending her claws, and dug deeply into his nose and left eye, causing him to close it in a reflexive protective reaction. Releasing at that same moment, a massive blue flame over his face, he quickly recoiled, releasing her while his face was severely burned, along with the front half of his huge, giant golden mane. Anger filled his whole being and he nor she felt pain at this moment. Repositioned herself offensively, while he backed off enough to be able to reopen his eyes, having the power of his green lightning already sitting on the edges of he fiercely lit green eyes and just at the back of his throat. She then lunged for him, thinking he was unprepared, his body went belly up in mid air underneath her leap and released his lightening all along her underside and belly as they passed each other in two separate but single movements, burning her inner legs, belly and making her nervous system misfire in coordination from the electricity of his lightening. Both badly wounded, she bellowed in rage, turning around readied again, but panting hard while her body was quickly regaining control. Repositioning himself, jaws open wide once more, he shot towards her. At the moment he was releasing his green electric massive jolt, she shot a huge ball of blue flame down into his throat as the two energies met and impacted, just as his was being release inside of his throat and mouth, almost causing his teeth to shatter and his mouth to explode open, but quick thinking on his part saved him, as he put up a barrier between his throat and the energy reaction. Damaged severely still, most of the effect on him was contained inside the field. Withdrawing for a moment, unable to speak, he was shocked by how much stronger she had become and needed time for his mouth to recover. Shooting the flames into his mouth, barely missing his fire, caused a great energy drain and VyGhra needed a moment to regain her strength and energy also. Both facing off, but in recovery modes, Nantimitolo was finally able to speak and said, VyGhra, you have grown mighty and strong over these years. Responding to him, she said, Nantimitolo, I had no choice as I had to be my mate's force also, the same as you with your mate. All this time, trapped, I had to watch fully aware of what humanity was doing while instead you only dreamed about it. Continuing on, I have seen the future Nantimitolo, and the destruction, the planet, the air, the animals and forest! They will all but be destroyed because of them. No one is there to keep them in balance as you once promised to do! Bowing his head in shame before her, he looked at her as tears began to roll down his great green eyes and he said, You are right about many things and I suffered from the loss of my mate from you as you did from the loss of yours from the humans. I understand now all too well what you were trying to tell me and why you did what you did. I was not as strong as you, staying awake and alert to watch it happening helplessly, trapped in a shell, while I buried my self within the mountain, not wanting to deal with anything or face it. I am truly sorry for the pain I have caused you., as the might dragon continued to weep and bowed his head in shame. Nantimitolo, please, please dont cry. You mourn for your lost love, whos life I took in vengeance, which was wrong of me. For so long, for so very long I hated you. I dont know if youll every truly understand why I have done what I have to the humans but I know I had no choice. Let me come to you and show you my visions of the future, so you may see for yourself. I give you my word of honor that I will not attack you for this purpose. Nodding his head, he agreed and said, Yes, VyGhra, come to me and show me your visions as I too give my word of honor that I will not attack for this either. Let this moment be so we share in minds and understanding. As the anger of the unfinished battle subsided for a moment, the pain and wounds they had caused to each other began to set in. VyGhra walked as straight as she could, holding her dignity high, despite the horrid injuries of her underbelly and sat next to him. Nantimitolo sat still, holding himself with respect, though even he could smell the scent of his own burnt flesh and mane and the pain from his torched face screaming at him from inside, as he let her approach. Looking at each other, they both seemed to sigh in great sadness at the same time as she leaned forward and put her forehead to his, to share the mental link of her visions. The progress of man was amazing through out the next one hundred years, if things had stayed the same, but at the same time, he saw the wars, the senseless killing, brutality and slavery of each other, and of the other living members they share this planet with and the destruction of the forests. He also extinction of many animals by humans. Next he saw the ozone that protects the earth grow thin and spotty along with the melting of the great polar regions in the poles, caused by this. Bit by bit, all the technology and advancements of humans in turn took them further away from nature and causing the destruction of the planet. He saw the humans as the cause of even their own demise and even of the entire earth, as the earth will begin to reject the changes, unable to remain as she is, within the next two hundred years. VyGhra and her mate had been correct. Truly, this was not in balance at all., he thought to him self, feeling defeated. Pulling away from her, he took a deep sigh of sadness and regret and he said, I am truly sorry VyGhra , so very sorry. I didnt do my job in maintaining the balance, as I said and would have remained asleep in that cave, even through the years and time to come in the future also. I drove you to this because of my irresponsibility., he told her, no longer filled with dignity or pride. The sadness of it filled him with so much grief and VyGhra, for the first time in her life, began to understand Nantimitolo. Pushing her head against him to nuzzle him, she pushed his head up to face her. I was wrong for killing your mate, making you suffer from the same pain I was in also. , she told him. I now have a better understanding of the tasks you are responsible for, which I now see is not as easy as I thought. I was arrogant, angry and intolerant. I just couldnt see how the humans fit into things as they were so different and the things I saw happening and in my visions, but I admit, as you said, they wouldnt be here if nature had not provided the means for their success in the beginning. Gathering all her energy left from the earth and within herself, Nantimitolo felt it and was ready and accepting for the final blow, but instead, she again put her forehead to his and released half of it to him. The warmth from her filled his whole body as he felt the wounds, burns and injuries close and heal, as the pain completely receded. The fullness of his main and any scars or damage from her completely gone and he was whole once more. Shock and wonder filled him as he felt amazing and didnt understand what she was doing or why. Backing away, standing a distance from him, she looked at him and said, Nantimitolo, I am so tired, so very tired., as she then pushed all her energies into the earth, calming and settling all the mass and global destruction energies in motion all over the earth, draining her of every last ounce of energy she had within her as she also soothed the energies she had put into play for future devastation. With a weak but firm roar, she summoned the spirits of the counsel once more. Shocked and saddened to see the protector of the earth in such shape, they felt angered and looked at Nantimitolo, as if he was to blame. Knowing what they were thinking she told them, No, no, dont blame him. He was like me but I healed him. Shocked by this news they all wanted to know why. Looking at them, she said, He understands now. The burden of the future and balance is on him. Summoning specifically the viral and parasitic spirits, she asked them, Would you please, please bring back all the viruses and destroy them, never to release any more unless it occurs randomly as a true act of nature? Looking at her weakened body and her words, they didnt understand but gave their word and left immediately to follow through. Walking up slowly before Nantimitolo, VyGhra laid at his feet. Looking up at him, completely out of energy, she said, Do you promise to keep your word and maintain the balance here, as nature intends and the Earth needs? He nodded in complete agreement. The then looked at him and told him, Good and thank you Nantimitolo. Laying there, she then cuddled under his beautifully restored main and head, near to his feet. Laying there silently, she took her last breath, as her spirit dissipated into shimmers of glowing particles. EPILOGUE Over the next 100 years, about what would have been the year 2011, if all things before her had stayed the same in the human time line, the Earth had rapidly begun to repair its self and grow again. The animals were free again to live their lives or die in harmony with the way of nature. Small groups of humans had managed to survive and began to grow in numbers again, forming small tribal societies. In such societies, they remained in balance with the Earth as Nantimitolo watched them ever vigilantly. No more would he allow them to gather into large groups or cities and would always do what he had to, when he was needed to as maintain the balance and to honor VyGhra's ultimate sacrifice. Any advancements made by the humans were cautiously watched. If they cause any effects to or on the environment that was destructive in nature to the earth and the other beings, he would quietly interfere, stopping its progress. Sometimes small quarrels broke out amongst the different tribes, and they had their small scale wars, small scale levels of human brutality and such, but it would never ever go as far as it did before. Instead, he guided humans and their minds through signs, as they always seek for causation, meaning and understanding, in ways they considered godly or mystic in a hopfull understanding of peace and their small place in this big world, and as such, would remain so. One evening in during this time, as the earth was really beginning to grow again, far away Nantimitolo heard the this strange sound.
