She kept them close as she stared at the lake, her mind wandering

"Been a while since you got some good sleep like that huh...?" She rubbed their head a bit

She looked down, smiling, "Well looks who's waking up."

She was wondering that too as she had now walked out onto the grass, sitting down as she looked at the sky.

She stood, wincing at the ringing in her head but ignored it as she carried him around.

She let out a soft sigh as she smiled, slowly sitting up with them in her arms.

"I wonder.... If I'll ever get back to full strength again..."

Hours later she began to wake up as she held her head, it was still ringing from that voice, "Damn it.... What happened...?"

She held Missingno close as she drifted off to sleep, purring softly.

She already knew the chimera was there, she could smell them from miles away, but being the curious one, she wanted to see what would happen. Would the Chimera finally be boldenough to take her on? Or would this end up in another stalemate?

She almost collapsed onto the side of the bed, the vibrating lights from her gem slowing as she slowly began to drift off

She slowly relaxed, before putting her hands on their 'appendages', "Thank you..."

She shakily stumbled towards the room, "Missingno...? Are you alright...?" Her vision was fading in and out.

She shakily sank to the floor, her skin pale and breathing heavy, before she shakily stood, Missingno may not know it, but those weren't thoughts... She was burying a secret from her past. "I need... To find... The others..."

She stumbled as she held her head, a voice echoing through her mind, "̷̰̌̀͗Ỳ̴̮̂͗ò̴͍̀̓ŭ̵͙͇ ̵̩͈̄̔͠c̵͙̰͗̊ͅà̶̹̹͑n̴̤͕̎̐͜'̶͕̻̾t̸̠͉͔̑̈́ ̶̘̹̖̇s̶̖̦̦͊͑ẗ̵͚́̐̿ȏ̸̡̳͎̌̾p̶͖̘̏̚ ̶̣̟̮̏͠w̸̨͋̉h̴͙͑͌a̶̘͑ṱ̸̀̍'̷͓̠͙̉̄̈́s̵̻̑ ̸̪̺͍̌̈́́c̷̢̈́́̏o̶͍̘̽m̵̯͑́̋i̷̡̱̊̄͘n̴͇͝g̴͕̫͓̓́͝,̶̯̟̽̋ ̸̮͙̈́́V̷̛̹̥͌̕ͅe̷̟͛s̴̞͉̬̊s̸̖̒̿e̸̬̓̆͑ḻ̷͌̈́.̶͔͚̪͒̒ ̵͓̽̑Ŷ̸͖̳̙́o̶͙͑ǘ̷̜͎̰̕ ̷̦͓̈́͑m̶̱͚̌̂͝ų̴̞͋ͅs̸̲̓̒ẗ̵̨̞ ̴̗̉͜͜m̶̩̖͚̎̓a̷̖͌̈́k̵͕͑̒é̵̝̟ ̵̩̤̰̎ā̸͈̣̖̽̆ ̶̤̣̓͐̊c̶̜̉h̷̡̺̭̒o̶̠͘ḯ̵̛͖c̸̱̐̔̅e̸͕̪̩͒͒.̴͓̱͊ "Shut up! SHUT UP!" Her fingers dug into her hair, the gem in her chest flashing violently.

She smiled softly as she tucked him in, before glancing at the corner of the room, like something was there.... Before she got up and left quietly.

She gently picked him up before carrying him inside, and into the spare guest room.

It reminded her of the crystal in her chest. She gently put a hand on her crystal, before looking up at the sky as she began to wonder, what would be the next thing to happen.

She smiled softly as she continued to 'pet' Missingno, wondering how she would explain this to the others.

"You can stay as long as you want, you are a guest here in my home."

She rubbed his head softly, looking up at the sky. A lot has changed in the past few years, and so far nothing's slowing down

She let them, before hesitantly putting a gentle hand on their 'head.' This exactly reminded her of when she first found Gamma.

She glanced at him, before she picked up a stone, before focusing intensely. Her hand began to glow before the stone slowly began to morph and shape before shifting into a jagged, mangled diamond. She dropped it, exhausted, "Time... And... Practice..."

She gripped her own hands tightly, her composure slipping a bit, "Worse. I've thought of a world where I had died in that war. Would've everything been.... Better? Would my daughter not have been forcefully enslaved? Would my husband still be.... Alive..?"

She looked at her own hands, "I see. It's not easy to overcome the grief of what you did in the past, I'm no saint myself. I've hurt people who were more than deserving.... Even more that were not.."

"I see... It wouldn't have been the first time something tried to affect me. I think the last one was some sort of virus.."

She pulled her hand back, she noticed some of the glitches had gotten onto her hand, before fading away, almost as if something was counteracting it, "I've been through worse."

She hesitantly reached a hand out, "Is something wrong? Was it something I said...?"

"Because I see myself in you, I'm the only member of my species. I felt alone at first, like I didn't belong anywhere."

She continued to smile softly, "I'd be more than happy to help you in this journey of yours if you wish."

She was almost taken back by that response, back to her younger days when she first arrived in Sanctuary. "I know that feeling all too well, feeling like you don't belong anywhere."

She seemed shocked, before relaxing again, "Missingno. huh? Tell me, what brings you here...?"

She gave that soft, gentle, motherly smile, "I promise, any guest is welcome in my home."

"I don't wish to harm you, I only wish to know who or what you are, and why you're here." She was calm, that motherly tone in her voice as she stared out into the water.

"I didn't earn my title as Queen only due to my savage might, but also due to my high intelligence. By the time I was 4, 2 in human years, I was already capable of mimicking human speech and high cognitive puzzle solving."

She hesitated again before pulling the same trick she used on Gamma, when she first found her. She sat at the waters edge and began to wait, letting not only herself time to cool off, but to see if it would work for the creature as well.

She noticed it spreading through the water and backed off, before making a risky decision and shifting into her human form before diving in.

She frowned as she shifted into her feral form before wading deeper, until the water was up to her thighs

She skidded to a stop at the waters edge, before looking around, "Damn it...." She began to patrol around the water, seeing if she can't pinpoint where it is exactly

She didn't have a choice BUT to follow, she didn't want anyone else being hurt. She took off after it, turning invisible in case this "thing" could see her.

She backed up a bit, both horrified and confused, she's encountered strange things, but nothing to this level. "What in the actual hell is going on...?"

She couldn't bear to watch it anymore, as much as she hated the Ravager species, she would never wish upon them what's happening to him. She relaxed before walking over, her claws extended, "I'm sorry for this."

She hesitated, she didn't know what to do now. Right now there were two options, either stay alert and see if the fight continues, or put the scout out of his misery.

She hesitated, she could FEEL something was off about the scout, as if something was controlling it. She narrowed her eyes as she suddenly changed her fighting position, raising her arms up, almost like a grizzly bear, now assuming a defensive stance

That ticked her off, she grabbed the scout by the tail before slinging it into a tree, "You want rough? I'll give you rough!"

She narrowed her eyes, she knew this as well. She wasn't Queen of Sanctuary due to her strength, but her intelligence. She knew a confrontation between her and the chimera would be a bloody one, so for now she kept her distance.

Omega understood the dangers of adventurers, but she knew better than to recklessly attack them, it would only draw more attention.

She slammed her tail into it's side, wincing as a few spikes dug into her tail, but not deep enough for the venom to take effect.
