《Godzilla: Legend Begins》Chapter 7
Advertisement
Jesse sat on the deck of John's ship, her laptop open on her lap. Her fingers danced skillfully across the keyboard as she typed. on the screen was the satellite image of the island and Godzilla that was on the monitor in the K-Force base. Now that she could see the picture more closely, she could make out the jagged rocks that was below a cliff and the form that was Godzilla's dorsal plates heading away from the island.
"Hey." a voice broke through the quiet atmosphere. She tore her eyes away from the screen and looked up and saw that it was Kanto. The man wore his usual military uniform but left his jacket unbuttoned, revealing a dark grey t-shirt underneath. "You look like you have something on your mind. Want to share with the class?" Jesse could feel the corner of her lips twitch upwards before speaking.
"This Godzilla have been alive since 1954 when some of the bombs were tested. That's sixty years he's been alive, yet he never showed himself until now."
"Don't think too much about it. There's a lot of creatures that we have yet to discover that has been around longer." Kanto told her. "Once we get to the island, we will make sure to do something that will make sure it won't terrorize anyone."
"Hey! You two! We got a hit on the radar!" Shouted John from the door to the cabin. Jesse stood and the two walked over, slipping into the control room.
On the radar, at the top, was a shape that was heading straight towards them.
"Whatever it is." One of the men of John's crew started. "It's big and heading straight towards us!"
"Drop Anchor!" Ordered John as he stopped the ship and turned off the engine before he walked out of the cabin, followed by Jesse and Kanto. A resounding splash came from the side of the ship, signaling that his order was followed. Jesse felt Kanto grabbed her elbow, getting her attention. She looked forward, at the front of the ship and her breath hitched.

Three sets of blue, jagged plates were coming straight at them at an amazing speed. Just as it seemed like it wasn't going to slow down and was going to hit them, the thing stopped. After a tense moment, the mass slowly began to move.
A head slowly rose out of the water first, it's snout was narrow, giving the head a more reptilian look to it. Small ears protrude from each side of the head and its eyes were a fiery red. Large dragon-like fangs lined its mouth. Its torso bursts from the water, revealing charcoal black scales.
"Holy shit..." Kanto gaped at the massive beast. He didn't think that they'd encounter Godzilla like this and without any weapons mounted on the ship. Jesse, on the other hand, was staring up at the beast unblinkingly, her eyes tracing every scale and muscle. A deep rumble sounded within Godzilla's chest, making Jesse focus on the creature's head and his eyes met hers. She felt something curiously probing against her mind before it pushed into it. Images flew by her, some of her own memories, others of jungle on an island. When the thing pulled back, she was dazed and staring into space.
She soon got out of her daze when Godzilla let out a bellowing roar before turning and dived back underneath the surface, swam off and disappeared, leaving the crew in shock at what just happened.
"What the hell?!" John shouted. "What the hell was that?!"
"I...I don't know..." Jesse responded.
"He just seemed to stare at you before leaving!"
"I don't understand it myself..."
"Come on, we have to get to the island." Kanto interrupted once he noted the time. John gave him a dark look before ordering the anchor up and the engine to get turned on. Within seconds, they were off again.
Jesse couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened. What did it mean?

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
