Skeletal "Magical" Bonding (Chapter 8)
King had one hell of a ticklish torture at the hands of Ariel. But it kind of makes sense since King did tickle his mother. Now the tickles finally concluded, and now we witness the conclusion of the powerful bond these two have made, both mentally and magically.

SKELETAL "MAGICAL" BONDING ------------------------------------------ Chapter 8: Mother and Son, Forever
After several minutes, Ariel's ticklish, tingly, and embarrassed torture on King finally ended. Ariel waved her hands around, then the Hearkener, Weave Blasters, Weave hands, and Weave feathers stopped tickling King and disappeared. The baseball-sized Gaster Blasters nibbling on King's neck stopped and disappeared, and Ariel stopped using her dominant voice to put King into his submissive state. The strings and stocks that bound King disappeared and dropped King to the ground on his back. Then, several non-Weave hands to rub on all the places she tickled and tingled King, effectively removing the phantom touches and also helping King in relax and caught his breath.
King: *BREATHING EXTREMELY HEAVILY. Laying on the ground as he looks straight up, not moving*
Ariel: *Moves over and looms over King, looking down at him* You ok, hon? *Ariel asks with a sorrowful face* Did I go too hard?
King: N-no. . . Your did fine. I. . . I kind of deserved it! *King smiles*
Ariel: Hehe. Come here you. *Ariel smirks as she sits down and pulls King up and hugs him*
King: Oomph! *King grunts as Ariel hugs him, with him hugging her back* Thanks mom.
Ariel: Of course, son.
King and Ariel hugged for a whole minute, and in that minute, King managed to recover completely. This allowed him to stand up and help his mother up as well.
King: Dang, *King stands up and puts his hand out to his mother on the ground still* you sure know how to use that magic, don't you?
Ariel: *Looks up at King and smiles as she grabs King hand* Yeah, *King then helps her up as she stands up* you do too!
King: Heh, yeah, but you not only created a couple of living creatures.
Ariel: Emphasis on the "living" I mean, they were blind.
King: Yeah, but that's impressive still. I had to use blaster to create life.
Ariel: Still not bad! *Ariel says as she looks her arm, pulsing with Weave*
King: *Looks at his arm, also pulsing with Weave* What kind of magic is this?
Ariel: I don't know, but one thing's sure. It's not singular, it can create anything! Even other magic.
King: *Looks around and sees strings appearing and disappearing around them* Heh. . . Hahahahahhahahahaha!!
Ariel: *Looks over at King, wondering why King's laughing* King? Are you ok? *Ariel asks, thinking that something's tickling King, but sees nothing*
King: Hahahahahahahaha!! I just find it funny! We went out on a hike to just build a closer bond, but end up finding a magic!
Ariel: *Looks at King before she smiles* Heh! Hahahahaha!
Ariel and King just stood laughing at the predicament they found themselves in before they finally stopped laughing after 2 minutes before the two of them look at each other.
King: Ha! This is amazing! I can't believe that happened.
Ariel: *Smiles* Well, *Hugs King again as she closes her eyes*
King: Hmph?! *King says as he's pulled in*
Ariel: *Opens her eyes as he eyes glow red slightly* Nothing may have gone to plan, but we did achieve our goal.
King: *Looks up at Ariel before he smiles and hugs her back, closing his eyes knowing what she meant* Heh, yeah. *King says as he opens his eyes, glowing yellow*
Ariel: Heh, finally. You promise?
King: . . . I promise.
Ariel and King: We'll be Mother and Son, forever.
At long last, Ariel and King finally solidified their bond as a Mother and Son. No longer was there a weak chain or shaky link between the two. A mother who came back from the dead, or a son who was unlike any other monster anyone's ever seen. Two monsters that people assumed were related, but not really were finally united. King and Ariel were mother and son, and they have Weave to thank for that. The two stopped hugging and started making their way out of the forest.
King: *About to put his hand into his jacket pockets, but then remembers that his jacket was ripped to shreds* Wait! *King shouts as he turns around*
Ariel: Hm? What's wrong?
King: *Looks down as sees the fabric of his shredded jacket. He drops to his knees and grabs the fabric*
Ariel: Oh. . . *Ariel says somberly as she walks over to King*
King: *Sighs* This was one of my favorite jackets ever. . . Now. . . *Sighs* I'm sure gonna miss it.
Ariel: *Looks down at King and puts her left hand on his right shoulder*
King: *Looks up at Ariel*
Ariel: Don't worry sweetie. I'll make you a new jacket that you'll love.
King: Wha. . . Are you sure?
Ariel: Uh-huh! I'll make sure of it! I'll make a new jacket. How's that sound?
King: That. . . That sounds great. *King says as he stands up and grabs the fabric of his jacket* Let's go.
King and Ariel walked away from the clearing they were in, and back onto the walkway they were on before running towards the Weave tree.
King and Ariel: *Walking along the trail*
Ariel: *Looks down at King*
King: *Looking around*
Ariel: Hey King.
King: Hm? Yes mom?
Ariel: You know, we just learned what Weave could do and did some impressive things, even though we just learned it.
King: Yeah?
Ariel: Well, we clearly have different interpretations of this magic and how it works.
King: What about it?
Ariel: Well, how about this. We should meet up whenever we can and learn more about this magic, together. . . So what do you say?
King: Of course! I can't resist spending more time with you, or learning more about magic. Doing both seems like a dream. Just promise no tickling! *King says with a smile*
Ariel: Hehehehe! Of course you'd say that. . . I can't make any promises!
King: Heh, ok. . . Because I also might've broke that promise!
Ariel and King: Pfffffft Hahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!
Ariel: Let's keep this between us, no one else can know about this magic, until the time is right.
King: Of course, let's show everyone until the time is right!
Ariel: Yeah. . . I love you, King.
King: I love you too, mom.
King and Ariel eventually left the forest and made their way back to King's house. By the time they entered King's house, the sun had fell and Ebott was now asleep. Ariel had decided to stay over at King's house since the two of them were exhausted. Not only from the tickles and walk, but because they had just learned about Weave and it took a toll on their bodies. King and Ariel ate and got ready for bed.
King: *Laying in his bed*
Ariel: *Walking past King's room*
King: Oh, mom!
Ariel: *Looks over and walks in* What's wrong sweetie?
King: Are you going to bed?
Ariel: Yeah, I was just about to head to your guest bedroom.
King: Well. . . You uh. . . *King stutters as he looks down*
Ariel: What's wrong? *Ariel asks, knowing exactly what King was about to ask*
King: Can you sleep here in my room, more specifically in my bed?
Ariel: I knew it. How old are you?
King: Hehe, yeah I know. I know. But I want to show you something.
Ariel: . . . Ok. *Ariel says as she walks over to King's bed*
Ariel got in King's King-sized bed ;), and laid on one side, with King on the other side. King then used his magic to turn off the lights to his room and turn on several neon lights that lined the corners of his room as they changed colors.
Ariel: Woah.
King: Hehe, you like it?
Ariel: Hehe, of course I do!
Ariel looked over at King, seeing him adore the lights. She then moved and to King and hugged him, putting her right arm around him.
King: *Feels his mother's arm wrap around him and looks over at her* Mom. . .
Ariel: Don't worry King. I'm not going to do anything.
King: Good. . . Because I was going to! *King says as he hugs his mother with both hands lowers into his blankets, acting all child-like*
Ariel: Hehe, I figured.
King: *Smiles and closes his eyes* Of course, mother knows best after all. Good night, mom.
Ariel: *Smiles and closes her eyes as she hugs and curls up on King* Good night, son.
Then, the two closed their eyes and slept on the bed, falling asleep together. The two relived that the two of them finally having a,
Skeletal "Magical" Bond.
