Sweet Lullaby
Lotil was woke by a sudden gentle breeze and flower petals landing on her snout she sneezed the petal off and opened her eyes exposing them to a well lit sun but instead of her cave home the hybrid was laying underneath a blossoming tree with bright purple petals dancing off their branches in a wide spread prairie of green grass where many other colored trees had stood. Lotil stood up scanning the unfamiliar land noticed Toffee was gone too, panicking she called for him: "Toffee!" She shouted using her head to enhance her voice. No response. All she could hear was the whispering in the wind twirling around her she felt her wings sprang open to catch it. Wait? Wings? Looking to her right back side she noticed the wing that had been blasted off before was back again even her scars were gone but how? She seemed to ask herself.Lotil decided to ignore it and continue her search for Toffee.
Walking through the thick grass that grew up to her knees more flower petals flew by gracefully in the arms of the breeze rustling her fur, Lotil watched as the petals lifted away from her sight she saw blue and pink blossom trees in the distance each having a strong fragrance trailing off them. She huffed the sweet scent from her nostrils irritated by the way it tickled her snout shook her head and trudged onwards throughout the prairie. The lizard wolf's thoughts were only on one thing and that's searching for Toffee, but no matter where she looked the lizard was no where to be found. All there ever was in sight were blossom trees and grassy plains. Lotil sighed in frustration leaning up against a near by ocean blossomed tree blowing petals off her face decided to sit down and rest for a few minutes enough to think about what exactly was happening right now. Okay, first things first, I was supposedly in my cave asleep in bed beside Toffee but now I wake up to find myself in a deserted prairie of some sort with endless blossom trees and grasslands.
What's even more surprising! My right wing which was BlASTED off and my scars are no longer present?? What Mewman Magic is this, if this even is some sort of hallucinating spell I don't know but I hate it! This so confusing for me! Why am here? Someone, anyone give me a sign for corn's sake.
Lotil ranted on in her head hissing out a few curses under her breath a guest of wind hits her in the face and past her ears whispering something.
Her ears perked up alarmed "What was that?" Moving her head around to listen the wind came again and this time making the words more clear for the hybrid to hear. Lotil stood there and listened very carefully straining her ears to understand every word, though the words came out into a song, a familiar song Lotil hasn't heard in for so long stood in silence as the wind sang.
Hush, hush my dear
It's alright, there's nothing to fear
Don't you cry, dry your tears
We'll make it through the night
I'm here, I'm here
I'll be right by your side
I'm here, I'm here
You'll be safe in my arms
Listen to this lullaby
We will be stars
We'll light up the sky
Every little thing will be something better
Give it time and one day our hearts will surrender
Though something's can't last forever
Hush, hush my dear
It's alright, there's nothing to fear
Don't you cry, dry your tears
We'll make it through the night
I'm here, I'm here
I'll be right by your side
I'm here, I'm here
I'm here with you
Once the song had halted and the wind deceased, tears fell from her eyes as memories flowed her mind back before her mother's death. She remembered that song being sang to her whenever she wanted comfort, back being 5 years old Lotil remembered being in her old bedroom sitting up in bed crying from a terrible nightmare. Hot tears streamed down the little monster's face her nightmare was sights of vivid images of Monsters and Mewmans battling each other blood rained in her sights Monsters laid motionless on the ground, others fled from a crimson blast that hit them all at once. One Mewman noticed Lotil and after the blast had hit her she jolted awake breathing heavily terrified and cried alerting Terra into her bedroom.
The wolf immediately came to her daughter's side comforting her "What's wrong Tilly? What happened?" Her mother would ask patting her back.
The little hybrid sniffed trying to let the words out "Mommy, I had a nightmare" she said hugging the monster tightly.
Terra tilted her head to the side to look down at her daughter "A nightmare?"
Lotil nodded "Yes! It was awful, these Moomans attacked Monsters killing them all it was scary! I almost got blasted by one that's when I woke up, momma I don't want dose mean Moomans to hurt you or daddy and I don't want dem to hurt me!" She hid her crying face in the night gown of Terra who held Lotil close.
Terra smiled softly pulling her daughter away gently to get her eyes up to face her "Lotil, my precious baby girl don't worry it'll be alright me and you're dad won't let those scary Mewmans hurt you I promise" she reassured her daughter.
"You promise?"
"Yes Tilly, promise."
Lotil seemed unconvinced and sighed, her mother's smiled became a frown thought for a moment. Smiling again Terra let her daughter sit on her lap "Lotil, dreams are dreams nightmares are nightmares everything you saw wasn't real. Sure it may seem that way but how about I sing you a song."
The hybrid looked up at her mother "A song?" She questioned.
"A lullaby really, but it's a lovely song that my mother use to sing to me whenever I had nightmares would you like to hear it?" The wolf asked Lotil.
Lotil nodded wagging her tail happily "Yeah! Yeah!"
Her mother giggled "I knew you would" with that she sang the lullaby a few times, Lotil soon joining in the tune both sang in harmony til both fell fast asleep.
The memory fades from Lotil's mind happy tears in her eyes, she smiles and laughs with a few hiccuping sobs everything around the hybrid disintegrates around her. The trees turn to dust and the earth breaks beneath Lotil alarming her before taking action to fly she's sucked into a dark void of inky black slipping away deeper and deeper into the abyss.
