Eternal love of the red dragon

"Something really is wrong with Lilith," she said to herself with a sigh as she followed the girl to the kitchen. 

"Lilith" she called out and she looked at Cosmo. 

'What's the matter?" she asked and Cosmo sighed. 

"Are you really okay?" Cosmo asked and Lilith smiled. 

"I see you are still worried, don't worry about me Cosmo, for now, focus on training" she responded and Cosmo sighed then Lilith walked up to her and patted her on the head ruffling her hair and Cosmo smiled.

'You don't have to worry so much Cosmo, I... all I want right now is to live a peaceful life, I don't know why that's so hard, I want you to trust my decisions and know I won't ever do something to hurt I just have to think about everyone right now and so do you, that's your duty as the red dragon. don't forget that it's the very duty that made us meet" Lilith said and Cosmo's eyes widened. 

"Being all caught up in what I want I completely forgot about my duty towards the people" she replied and Lilith kissed her on the cheek and she looked at her. 

'It happens at times, not everyone is perfect, everyone wants happiness just like us" she said and Cosmo smiled then sighed in relief. 

"Thanks for reminding me, I love you, Lilith," she said as she hugged the girl and Lilith sighed then patted Cosmo as Vivian walked into the kitchen and smiled. 

'You two okay?" Vivian asked. 

"Yeah we are fine" Lilith responded as tears came to her eyes and Vivian gasped as she stared at Lilith then walked up to her and wiped her tears without Cosmo seeing. 

'I will be back Cosmo" Lilith said then walked away and Vivian sighed. 

'Hi, Vivian" Cosmo said. 

"Come on, join us in the living room in the meantime" Vivian replied and Cosmo smiled as the girl grabbed a few snacks then they went back to the living room. 

Lilith went to the edge of the cliff and looked up at the sky and smiled. 

"Mom, am I doing the right thing?" she asked. 

"You are" her father responded and her eyes widened as she turned around looking at him and he smiled then patted her on the head. 

'Don' judge yourself, you have to believe that you are doing the right thing, Lilith, after all, it's to protect the people and everything that you love, your mother would have done the same" he said and she hugged him then he smiled. 

'Thank you dad" she replied. 

"You are welcome, you guys suffered a lot of loss on your lifetimes Lilitl, do not lose the last fight no matter what happens, this fight will decide everyone's future, light or darkness," he said and she smiled as her eyes glowed. 

'There is no need for you to worry, I am winning this fight even if it's the last thing I do" she replied as she raised up. 

'You are pretty confident about winning this is the first time I have seen you like this" he said then his eyes widened when he saw Cosmo's reflection in her eyes then he laughed. 

"Love can change one's life sweetheart, it changed you," he said and she smiled. 

'I agree with you on that dad, it did change my life and for some reason, I feel very light, as if there is no crisis, no problem even though there is" she replied and he sighed in relief. 

That's you accepting the past and the present" he said with a smile. 

"It feels great just accepting it" she replied. 

"I know that feeling," he said and she sighed in relief as she closed her eyes and smiled after the wind gushed against her face. 

"I am glad you are happy Lilith," he said. 

"I am glad you are here dad, I thought I would never have the love of a father turns out I was wrong and I had it since I was born" she replied. 

'I will always love you no matter what happens" he said as she looked down at the water. 

'Father I will bring forth my phoenix, it's not evil or anything it's just really strong and people are afraid of it, I am done doing what others want and will follow my heart" she replied. 

'Now you are starting to sound like a true leader" he said and she laughed. 

'Want to go join the others?" she asked. 

'Sure, though you did have Cosmo waiting, you asked her to go for a flight" he responded and she smiled nervously. 

'We better get back before she kills me" she said then ran off and her father laughed as he went after her. 

Upon arriving back at the castle the girl went to the living room and Cosmo looked at her then smiled. 

'Are you ready now?" Cosmo asked. 

"Yeah I am, sorry I kept you waiting Cosmo, I didn't mean to" she responded as the girl got up. 

'Don't worry about it, it's fine" she said and Lilith sighed. 

"Come on let's go, don't worry I am not mad for waiting," she said as she grabbed her by the arm and they left the castle. 

'Lilith, you know that you can fly with me right?" Cosmo asked and the girl looked at her. 

'Really? how?" she asked and Cosmo scoffed. 

"As a phoenix, you have your own pair of wings which means despite your powers being suppressed you can still bring out your wings" she responded and Lilith smiled. 

'Can you teach me how to do it because I don't know?" Lilith asked and Cosmo smiled. 

'Sure, arch your back a little bit, focus on your body energy and find your wings, they are there" Cosmo responded as she placed her hand which was glowing on Lilith's back and Lilith smiled as her body started glowing. 

"Now focus and do not take your mind off of your body, your wings and there for you and you alone to use, find it and take it out," Cosmo said as she moved away from Lilith's body then she went back into the castle and called everyone outside and when they came out they stood looking at Lilith as she focused then finally she opened her glowing eyes and her wings came out and everyone gasped.   

"Woah," Rex said with a smile and Lilith laughed as they looked at her huge pink wings. 

'Your wings are beautiful" Cosmo said and Lilith hugged her then she laughed. 

"Thanks," Lilith said. 

'You are welcome" Cosmo replied.

"Your wings were always a part of you, you just had to find it and that you did on your own," Cosmo said as the girl raised up and Rex touched her wings and she smiled. 

'Thye are beautiful, now Cosmo let's test out how fast she is" Rex said and she smiled. 

"We can do that but first let me show her the hang of flying" Cosmo responded. 

'Alright then" Rex said and Lilith sighed.   

'Well, Lilith good luck with her as your teacher I know she was a pain when I had to teach her" Rex said and Cosmo punched him then he laughed and patted her. 

"Come on, lift your wings and just flap, the follow me, you will get the hang of it soon enough," Cosmo said as she took out her wings and flew up then Lilith did as told and flew up in the air and laughed then Cosmo grabbed onto her hand as she lost balance. 

'Hang on" Cosmo said and Lilith held onto her hand tightly. 

'Now let your wing loose with the wind" Cosmo said and the girl did as told and she found her balance. 

'You two be careful" Rex shouted. 

'We will" Lilith replied and he laughed then they went back inside and Cosmo released Lilith's hand. 

"Careful," Cosmo said as Lilith closed her eyes and her wings started glowing and Cosmo's eyes widened. 

"I just need to let loose when flying like you do Cosmo," she said then flew up in the air and Cosmo laughed. 

"I guess watching me fly did help you learn," Cosmo said as she flew up after the girl and Lilith sighed. 

'It's nice, now I can fly beside you" Lilith said. 

'I am truly happy you can" Cosmo replied as they looked at the ocean and down at the people in the city. 

"Cosmo is it weird for my back to hurt a little?" she asked. 

"No that's quite normal at first, be careful not to put too much pressure on your wings" she responded. 

'Well I will practice using my wings more often from now on" she said as she lost balance again and was about to fall but Cosmo grabbed her by the waist and she sighed in relief. 

'I don't want to fall, I will definitely break a lot of things if I do" she said and Cosmo laughed. 

'Relax as long as I am here you won't fall, I won't let you" she replied and Lilith smiled. 

'For now out away the wings, I will give you a fly around like you asked" Cosmo said and the girl smiled while closing her eyes and her body glowed as her wings disappeared and Cosmo transformed and as the girl fell and landed directly onto Cosmo's back. 

'Thank you, Cosmo, I am not sure I would have gotten my wings out either if it wasn't for you" she said and Cosmo looked at her as they flew over the city and Lilith smiled.
