I am very pleased to present you with my one and only Resbang entry for 2015! This fic will last the entire year. I shouldn't be making jokes now.

I want to thank my betas meisterkasper and rbkninja Tumblr for assisting me with their minds and eyes. I also want to thank the Resbang mods for being adorable and arranging such an amazing event for writers and artists to come together and make something beautiful together.

And the most important person, I want to thank my artist GunningTwice Tumblr for producing such fine art for my story. You all should go and check it out because she's an amazing artist and damn I love her art so much! The cover is made by GunningTwice Tumblr

Prologue

His tail splashed in the water. He rested on a flat rock as he watched the sun slowly rising and greeting the flora and animals good morning. Bright orange coloured the sky as half of the sun was visible in the horizon.

Would this be the day?

His gaze was transfixed on the morning sun, hoping a silhouette would come. His nails dug into the flat rocky surface as he slowly sat up. The half sun grew in size and soon, the perfect circular sun was visible.

His eyes fluttered shut and he flopped against the rock.

Today wasn't the day.

He'd been waiting for centuries.

He would continue waiting until the ship returned.
