A painful journey
Getting back into magic... it's like going back to school. I had to review my basics.
Mother told me I would manage, but I have grandmother to help me if I don't understand.
Then I'll squeeze my head. "What the hell am I doing! I'm a scientist and I'm thinking of becoming a dragon again because of a dream and I risk alienating the police..."
"Yes, but what if the others attack?" I thought.
I know that Tiamat is protecting me in the astral but will she exterminate my friends?
I'm afraid.
Kardon came to take me out of my torpor.
"What do you spend your time on?. What are you doing?"
"I'm revisiting my basics in magic."
Meeerde (Shiiit in french), I've dropped everything...!!!!!!
We followed the Suez Canal and then arrived at the pirate seas.
It seems that mercenaries wanted me alive as soon as we walked along the Sudan, the attacks were incessant.
The crew had weapons and defended themselves against fast shuttles.
Kardon was panicked and going in circles with his lifejacket.
"PP PPP PPIRATES! They'll throw us overboard!"
I decided to "curse myself!" (Very angry in WALLOON)
So I got out of the container and started growling and roaring at the pirates.
They got scared when a spray of flames went off in their direction and I started flying around from the cargo ship to check any boarding catch.
Then I landed proudly at the front of the ship to show them that you shouldn't provoke me.
The crew was a little afraid of me but I turned around in a less frightening and softer, laughing pose. And I'm the one who calls them and they know how to count on me.
"Hey, I'm Emily, not a monster! I'm still human inside, I didn't hurt anyone!"
My back was turned and a kinetic object hit me in the back and I had my breath cut off and I stretched a leg towards the men who seemed frightened when I saw the blood stream flowing from my head, then my vision became black and I fell back into the sea.
A shuttle came to me, but it was a whaler.
I was hoisted aboard a whaling ship, caught in a net and tied up with strong chains.
My head was spinning and I saw the ship moving away and a tough, muscular man approached me and took a club and knocked me out.
I had pain everywhere and had a dreamless sleep and I heard little sadistic laughter.
A sentence forced me to wake up: "Can we have a little piece? Huh, Mom??"
I heard a growl and then nothing.
I was naked, without my loincloth in a cellar with water.
I had lots of Sanskrit tattoos on me. And golden ornaments on my horns, like a dragon princess.
I just had a veil on top but I felt humiliated without my panties. Dishonored...
Soft music emanated from the neighbouring rooms but I was tied with a huge chain and a ring that pierced both my nostrils.
It was extremely painful.
I had been pierced on my beautiful ears and horns.
I was devastated and tattooed like a doll from a thousand and one nights.
These questionable tastes were either from Kardon or from a more sinister character.
Children were tattooed like me, with nostrils in their noses and horrible piercings that were still bleeding.
In fact, on closer examination, the children were equipped with Spanish forks or heretics
The goal is to make them bleed permanently.
They were tied to poles with their hands and feet tied.
Fruits were around them and a large basin to put the leftovers.
That was my meal!
They were presented as luxury dishes to be enjoyed. They were oiled and sprayed with spices and fragrant herbs.
I would have been a normal dragon, I would have enjoyed this meal. But it was odious.
I asked the children in English: "Don't be afraid, I don't eat humans".
They cried and hugged each other.
"I don't know where we are, but you know?"
"Djibouti!"
I folded their fork and licked their wound so that it would close again.
"Poor children!"
I tried to remove my ring but I couldn't. I pulled on the chain but it didn't move either. Then I put myself at the edge of the pool to see my reflection.
What a horror! I'm all disfigured! Piercings, rings and tattoos and even my horns have been carved.
I wanted to cry, but it was rage that took its place.
The rage of seeing children treated in this way, and the rage of seeing me so savagely degraded.
I began to pray and pray again to my grandmother that she would see the show.
Tiamat breathed into me: "I am with you, my darling... everything is in your book... Study and save yourself!
Study Openness and Strength and Message to call for help.
"But the anti-magic necklace"
Tiamat: "No magic or antimagic can stand in my way"
I stayed with my invisible grimoire to study the spells.
I was isolated, and we heard screams and distorted screams, roars and screams from torn, devoured people. It was unbearable.
I climbed up and I could scratch a stone and make a hole from where I could see people coming and going in a room, like a throne room but I could only see the central part, not the throne itself.
I heard draconian and saw a large blue dragon of my size and another slightly smaller
orange dragon. And I heard a voice that I would recognize from all of them: Mom.
What was I doing here?
Then I saw a dragon tattooed like me screaming, chained like me and dragged by the two dragons:
Arrggh, have mercy, my queen! Please, Queen Rudia!, I killed a lot of hunters! Spare me!
Rudia: "You have failed in your mission. I never give a second chance!.. Dragons have turned back into humans because you gave them time to find an antidote! It's your fault. It's your fault.
No, Mom!, Mom Rudia! Please! Please!
Rudia: "You were only a human! And you had the shape of a dragon.
Ochria here is a real dragon."
We're going to test the famous hunters' elixir!
Azur cornered her and Ochria made him drink a blue vial, like the one I had made!
The reaction was not long in coming:
The dragon twisted and turned back into a naked human.
Human: "Rudia, you're my mother! Please, give me back my dragon shape..."
Rudia: "Devour it! And clean the place with a flame!"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARgh
CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH!
Ochria and Azur made me want to throw up.
Then, Ochria's iris froze in my direction.
How did she know I was seeing her?
She smiles as she licks her lips: "Mhhhh, how I want to taste you, big sister"! Then our eyes crossed and she made a horrible Slurp with a snap of her tongue and smiling.
I fell out of balance and waltzed into the spring water.
The children seeing me terrorized and showing my tattoos: "They're going to eat you too!"
Quiiick study......!!!
A day passed.
Another one and another one with always screaming and screaming and I heard: "I am a hunter and I will be avenged! We already have an antidote for your venom and then we'll pierce your scales and you'll die as you lived."
Rudia says, "Stop, I'm keeping this one."
Lock him up with my daughter.
