Damian was about to remove his headset and leave, but stopped to tell his father one more thing.
"By the way, as soon as I can afford it, I'm moving to Thundera. Mamas Kitty's been through enough and it's about time I got out of Limbo."
"After all the sh*t she's put me and your mother through, your worried about that hairball?! Look, just go! I don't want to talk to you anymore. You've got me really pissed off!"
"Heh. You're not the only one pissed!" With that, Damian removed his headset and stormed off. It would be a while before he would ever visit his father again.
Once her returned home he told his mother that he had gone to visit his father, but he didn't say what they talked about. Damien stayed upset for a while and decided to get away. He made arrangements with Wliy Kit to come to Thundera to visit. After WIly Kit gave him a tour of the Cat's Lair and the nearby areas, they sat on her balcony to have a very important conversation.
"Kitra, I have to say Thundera is a beautiful world. From what I've seen of it anyway."
"Yeah, in spite of the rebuilding that has to be done, it is quite a sight."
"Much more interesting than an asteroid, like New Madradagga."
"Well, your hometown has it's good points."
"Oh yeah? What?"
"You."
"Oh yeah," Damian responded with a good natured chuckle. "You flatter me, Kitra."
"No, it's true. You're really a great guy...and I enjoy your company."
"I feel the same way about you. Speaking of which, you did tell me in that letter you wanted to talk about where this relationship is going..."
"Yeah..."
"Where do you want it to go, Kit?"
"As far as we can take it."
Damian looked up at Wily Kit and pondered what she said.
"Kit, you know how I feel about you. You know I'd give up anything and everything for you if I had to."
"I know. I'd do the same for you."
"Really?"
"In a heartbeat, Daymie."
"But I'm so much younger than you."
"So? You're still a man, and a good one at that. That's all that matters to me."
Re: Trials and Tribulations
Meanwhile, down in the hangar, Weasel and Rakuna, the two resident cyber-mutants were playing some cards. Shortly after Dragor was caught, Rakuna decided to reform and has spent months in probabtion under ThunderCat custody. So far, everything's turned out for the best.
"Gin." Rakuna said after a few minutes.
"Aw damn!" Weasel cried, tossing his cards on the table.
"I can't believe this. We've been estraged for a few years and you still haven't improved your game."
"I've been busy."
"With your little lady cat friend?"
"She has a name, Rakuna. Would it kill ya to use it? Or does your pride still hurt knowing she's smarter than you?"
"She's smarter than you, that's for certain. And besides, [i] Kara[/i] is not smarter than me; she's merely my equal."
"That's a lot coming from you."
"Uh-huh."
"So how's Pterra doin'? Have ya heard from 'er?"
"Pterra's written once in a while, yes. She's doing okay, considering placing herself in an asylum to get through all the bloody crap Dragor's put her through."
"At least he can't hurt her anymore. In a matter of months, he won't be hurting anyone ever again."
"Amen to that. Although, I would've prefered that he had gotten killed when he first got sent to that Penal Planet."
"I hear they transfered him somewhere else at sentencing."
"Oh?"
"Yea, due to 'grounds of personal involvement'. Hey, if it were my mate and unborn child that bastard killed, I'd have taken every chance I got until he was pushing daisies."
"What about that Bounty Hunter? Echo, I think she was. They're saying that bloody Warden from Penal Planet Ten's gonna be after her, too. Why, I have no idea."
"Think about it, Rakuna. She's protected the one man that raped and murdered his mate. From his point of view, I can see him wanting to get back at her for denying him closure for twenty-three years."
"But you know Dragor as well as I do; when he gets a woman hooked, he gets them hooked good. They don't call him the Saurian Cassanova for nothin', ya know."
"I guess you're right. She was probably influenced. At least there's nothin' they can get her with, legally." At that moment, they heard moaning. "What the--"
"Is that what I think it is?!"
"Coming from Kit's chambers, I thought I saw Damian.."
"Oh, bloody hell! I thought the bed chambers were soundproof!"
"To normal hearing, yea. But ours is a bit superior."
"Oh YUCK!!! Do we have to listen to this?!!!" Weasel was busy writing. "What are you doing?"
"Taking notes."
"Perv."
"Hey, if I'm ever gonna bring my relationship with Kara to the next level, I'd like to know what I'm doing."
"Weasel, you are impossible!"
"I'm gonna propose to her anyway, so what's the point in waiting?!"
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that." A scream rocked Rakuna's ears afterward. "I'll pretend I didn't hear that either."

Re: Trials and Tribulations
Aside from strange looks from Weasel and Rakuna, Wily Kit figured no one was awre of what happened between her and Damian the pevious night. As long as her twin brother didn't know yet, she was fine with it. She had yet to speak to him face to face about her relationship with the young Saurian Vampire. After visiting Damian in his special, darkened quarters during the daylight hours, Kitra decided it was time to tell her brother about her love for the son of the Saurian Casanova.
Re: Trials and Tribulations
"WHAT?!" Katran shouted when Kitra told him about her relationship with Damian. She left out the intimate parts of it, but Kat was still uneasy. "How can you be involved with him?!"
"Katran, shut up!" Kit yelled. "Look, I don't care what you think about my love life, I'm just letting you know because you're my brother!"
"Your older brother!"
"By only ten minutes! This is my life, and I do not appreciate you critizing me about it!"
"Okay, okay! Just...leave me alone so it could sink in." Kit walked out of Kat's quarters.
Re: Trials and Tribulations
It didn't take Katran long to realize his twin sister was going to love the Saurian/Vamp no matter what he though. So, he decided to grudgingly accept the relationship. He soon realized that Damian was nothing like his father at all and could be trusted. Trusting him with his sister was another issue. It would be a while before he could do that.
Things were getting interesting in the lives of the Wyverns. The now retired Echo was involved in new experiences. Her exposure in the media had made her very popular with magazine publishers. Her beauty and controversial background brought her a lot of attention. After discussing it with her man, she decided to go ahead and pose for a couple adult magazines. She figured it could be fun and she could use the money. In the meantime, Spike had fulfilled Echo's request for the diner table and he wanted her to make good on her end of the bargain. After several hundren calls in the middle of the night from Spike, Eliza decided to give him what he wanted...sort of.
She invited Spike to her cave the following night. Once he arrived he didn't waste anytime trying to get what he wanted.
"Whoa! Slow down, deary! We've got all night! What's the hurry?"
Eliza stood behind him and asked him to close his eyes. She then blindfolded the Rhynoid and led him to her bedroom.
Re: Trials and Tribulations
"What's goin' on?" Spike asked. Next thing he knew, he felt what seemed like the bed and his wrists being tied to the head.
"Just making things interesting." Liza explained. Spike just shrugged it off and let her do whatever. It seemed good at first; a little massage in that special area and such. However, just as Spike felt himself going up...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He felt tremendous amount of pain in the same area that he felt being massaged. It was as though it was bitten, and he could've sworn he heard sucking noises. With all of his strength, Spike tugged at his bonds, pulled the posts off of the bed and made a nice, impressionable print in the wall be went through.
"Oh deary me." Eliza mused. "If that doesn't get rid of him, nothing will."

Re: Trials and Tribulations
Eliza then licked the blood from the corners of her mouth and smiled. She had killed two birds with one stone; she got her table back and got rid of the annoying Rhynoid. She made sure to tell her man all about it in her next letter. She also sent him copies of her Playboy and Penthouse spreads.
"I know he'll just love these!"
Back at the prison, the seven foot tall Saurian bogarted his way to the front of the line during the mail call. The mail clerk handed him a letter and a package.
"Hmmm...I wonder what this is?"
The Saurian received a very pleasant surprise from his lover. He couldn't help drooling over her lovely pictorials. It was a good thing she sent two extra autographed copies sealed in plastic.
Meanwhile, things were getting pretty interesting for Eliza back in Limbo. While visiting a relative on Fense, she crossed paths with an old friend. Pricilla, the Triceraon, was back in Limob after spending many years researching and studying cybernetics and robotics. Echo made sure to fill Pricilla in on everything that had happened since they last saw eachother. Prissy thought Dragor's imprisonment was a shame, however, someone else who was very close to the Vampire thought otherwise. Eliza's older sister, Contess, thought Liza would be better off if she forgot about Dragor and moved on to someone else.
"Really, Liza. I don't understand what you see in him! He's a comlpete a$$hole! He doesn't even love you!"
"I beg to differ, dear sister! I happen to know Dray loves me very much!"
"Liza, are you that blind?! That's it! I'm going to show you the truth about how Dragor feels about you right now!"
"Oh really? And how are you going to do that?"
Contessa pulled out her Tarot cards and offered her sister a reading. Contessa was well known for giving extremely accurate readings.
"I'm going to prove to you once and for all that Dragor does not and is incapable of loving you!"

Trials adn Tribulations
Sitting at the table with Cuntessa, Eliza sighed and
waited for her to get on with her reading. Countessa
began to deal the cards out in the Celtic Cross Reading
Pattern. The first card drawn, Eliza's Significator. was
the Empress.
"This card means feritility and maternal
care. You're going to be a mother Eliza," she said.
The hindrance laid over it was the High Priestess
Countessa hissed angrily, that card was her.
The next card drawn was the King of Wands which was
Fatherhood and represented Dragor on the table as the
father of Eliza's child.
In the fourth position was the Hierophant reversed
which signified the hidden factors
around Eliza were hidden truths, half truths and lies.
The fifth card was the Fool. Showing Eliza's past of
innocence and what made Countessa think Eliza not see
what she thought were obvious wrongs in Dragor.
In the sixth position was the Chariot which signified
Eliza moving past the hindrance and onto whatever
future would be there for her.
in the seventh position was the Hermit showing Eliza
was seeing herself as Bereft without Dray.
In the eigth position was Death, signifying a great
change to come soon in Eliza's life.
In the ninth position was the Nine of Pentacles
signifying Dragor getting his life back in order
and purpose.
In the final position, the out come was the lovers,
marriage between Dragor and Eliza. Marriage
and love. Something Countessa was not expecting to
see in this reading: True Love between both Dragor and
Eliza. She sat there stunned as her cards, her reading
of her sister's life proved not Eliza wrong, but her.
Re: Trials adn Tribulations
“Ha! I told you he loves me! Now who’s got egg on her face?” Eliza taunted. Contessa angrily flung her cards off the table and brooded for a moment.
“I may not like what I see, but the Tarot doesn’t lie. Listen to me, Liza. You tell that bastard of a boyfriend of yours to get any legal matters straightened out before his passing.”
“All right. I’ll do that.”
Echo informed Dragor of the reading in a letter. She didn’t give him all of the details, but she did tell him about getting any legal matters taken care of. Dragor wasn’t sure what was meant by that, so he contacted his lawyer, Charles Baner.
Re: Trials adn Tribulations
"Well, Dragor." Charles said during their meeting. "I know that you and Eliza aren't legally married, and if I recall Plunn-Darian law, your will is going to be considered insigificant unless you and Ms. Nosferatu are married."
"What?!" Dragor cried. The idea of him, married, seemed perposterous.
"Dragor, if you want your will to hold up after your passing, you're going to have to do things a certain way. Otherwise, your surviving relatives are going to strip Eliza and your son of everything you planned to leave her."
"I...guess you're right. Damn, I forgot how strict Plunn-Dar is about two-parent families. Anyways, don't you worry about a thing, Chuckie; I'll get this taken care of no sweat. Anything else?"
"Not really, no. Although, I do have some concerns about your will and the instructions you've left me regarding its reading."
"Ah, relax. It's not like there'll be a bloodbath or something."
"Still, you have heard the rumors regarding Ms. Nosferatu..."
"Look, Chuckie, I don't care about any damn rumors! Now, I'll tell you again; that so-called 'murder' they pinned me on was an accident and it ain't my fault the insect can't let go of the past. He wants to act like a jealous SOB, fine! Nothing Eliza can't handle anyway..."
Of course, Echo was not surprised at all when her lover proposed marriage in one of his letters to her. In fact, she had already purchased the wedding garments and rings. After that the marriage license was drawn up and wedding arrangements were made at the prison. The wedding guests were few in number, which was no surprise. Dragor wasn’t very popular with either side of the family. His friend, Hugo Hubble was his best man. Eliza’s sister, Octavia, was the matron of honor. Damian was there with his violin to play the wedding processional. The bride and groom’s mutual friend, Pricilla was also in attendance as a guest. Charles was also present. The best man teased the groom as the bride and her bridesmaid prepared to walk down the isle.
“So, Dray, how does it feel to know you’re about to get ‘murdered’?” Hugo asked, referring to the slang his bachelor buddy sometimes used to describe marriage.
“Eh, how bad could it be? I’ll have the hottest wife this side of the Milky way.”
“Well, that is a definite plus my friend!” Hugo chuckled as he slapped Dragor on the shoulder. “I can’t believe how calm you are. Aren’t you the least bit nervous?”
“Why should I be? It’s not like I’m marrying a stranger.”
“Believe me, between now and the moment she makes it to the alter, it’ll hit you.”
