End of line

It was dark and misty. Everything seemed like a nightmare.

The trees laughed at me and I fled along the stream. I was trapped between the trees that kept me from flying away and the dense firs on the side. I just had two choices, forward or backward.

A group of rabid wild boars sniffed at my trail and screamed as if their throats were going to be cut.

It was a complete herd after me.

Forward then! But I saw huge cobwebs and a giant snake, bigger than me, caught in a web and being attacked by a spider resembling a giant black widow.

Gloups!

I turned around to face the boars.

I started whining. Mom, come back! Don't leave me! Don't leave me! I'll be nicer to you, I promise, but come back! Mommy! Mommy!

Help! Help! Help!

I turned around when I heard the pigs chasing me. I went to the spiders, hoping they would attack the wild boars for me. But then I experience a horror.

A gigantic snake bit and sucked Mom's blood as she couldn't move. The monster held her so tight that her bones came out and she was mortally wounded.

She let go of one last sigh." Beat the boars. Goodbye!" Couic. She was dead! She was dead!

No, that's not true!

Kiuuuuueeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuiuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The first boar jumped on me and I hit him in the face with my tail. He was ejected there and stood up straight and another one came behind, even more threatening.

My mobile phone!

Noonn no network!

The gigantic pig was in front of me. It was well 1 meter high and 2 meters long. His fangs... scared me.

Without hesitation he clapped his fangs towards me and I lost my mind!

GRAAAAAH, I opened my mouth wide and bit it on the side but I met the bacon but it pinched me hard on my arm. His jaw was a vice.

I hit with my tail spear but I didn't have enough space.

I could feel my scales giving way and the teeth started to penetrate.

The pain was crazy.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

My fire penetrated into his belly.

Dying, he didn't let go, I took my heels and pushed them into his eyes

He let go, dead.

But already the second one was coming and my arm was sore.

The snake was swallowing Mommy and I was crying.

The other pig was coming

GRAH, PICK, with a slender movement I pushed my stinger directly into his eye and I managed to inject the poison directly into his brain

A third one came and I jumped over it but my sore wing made me fall to the right.

The boar narrowly missed my throat and I grabbed his head with my arms and slashed it and then gutted it with my paw clutches, scratching like a rabid cat.

A fourth one came and I slammed it with my tail. Slash. He was more angry and jumped on me.

I turned to have him impale himself on my back peaks.

GROOUUIIK made the pig. I felt that venom could come out through the spikes and it collapsed.

I was out of breath. A fifth arrived and I saw another 20 others arriving at the queue.

I was lost... Think about it, quickly!

Yes, magic?????

Let's try it, but I don't have time for this.

Shield?

BOUCLIER

ZZAp...PAf

nothing...

GROUUIIIK

He was on top of me!

BLOW! BLOW!

SWIIISHHH

The boar smelled like ham but it was even more angry and biting.

This time he tore my limb and I screamed as if we cut between two toes and went up to the ankle.

SCRATCH SCRATCH CLAW

SHIELD!

SHIELD!

Then I saw one of the pigs eating my little brother's egg. He was eating it and he had already ripped off its tail and a leg!

The other pig was eating my little sister who was screaming SQUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK

the rage went up and I blew and blew until nothing came out.

Magic missile!

ZZAp! chpaf!

Nothing was happening

The magic was useless.

I ripped out the pig's eyes and ran to Mommy.

I knocked on the snake that caught me and squeezed me.

I cried: MOTHER, I'm going with you! I have no one left! Forgive me. Forgive me. And the snake strangled me and cracked my bones.

Everything was black, I fell and saw myself lying in the grass, inanimate as if dead.

Was I in one piece?

Then CLAAAANG, my head was buzzing

I was exhausted, but I was breathing.

What had happened to me.

The cave was burned black and there was a boar in a thousand pieces and I was covered in guts and blood.

Mom was looking at me with her big, split eyes. She was obviously not happy!

It was the second time I saw her mad at me!

Mom? MOTHER??? Are you alive????? I wanted to throw myself into her arms, mad with joy but I received a masterful slap that sent me rolling to hell...

MOTHER??? WHY?????

I love you MOTHER?

Her eyes softened a little, then she grabbed me and shook me up: never do that again!

LET YOU DIE! AND GO WITH ME!!! YOUR MISSION, you only have one: SURVIVE!

OUR ENTIRE RACE IS COUNTING ON YOU!

WHY DID YOU WANT TO GO WITH ME???? I DON'T DESERVE YOUR LOVE!

"But you're my dragon mother, aren't you?"

RUBY: if anything happens to me, you have to look after your brother and sister!

I said, "Isn't that two brothers?"

RUDIA: "No, it's worse there's only one male! You have to promise me that no matter what happens, you have to look after them."

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! EXPLOSION OF TEARS!

I don't understand! the pain, your death and the death of the eggs, they were shredded... the boars came in waves! the spiders and snakes... And you who was crushed!

MOTHER, I'm going crazy, I don't understand anything, what's happening to me?

Rudia: "Lie down and listen!"

But...

SLEEP! GROOOAAR (I was barely avoiding a claw almost my size)

Rudia: "Look at your wing and arm!"

Me: "He's all right but I have like a blow and I see my skin swollen where I was bitten!!!!"

Rudia: "I projected you onto the Astral plane and what you experienced were your own demons. You noticed that you didn't know how to get away from here, not much and the further you got away, the harder and more difficult it was.

These are imaginary fights but this world has its own rules or a wound made here reproduces in the physical world.

I know how to create an absolute control field and send you illusions so well done that it could kill.

It is an absolute weapon when you control it.

THINK A LITTLE BIT WITH YOUR BRAIN, RUBY: I am over a thousand years old with some long periods of hibernation but do you think we sleep in hibernation? NO, we live in other planes of existence while the body recovers and rejuvenates.

How do you think I resisted terrible armies?

I pitted the soldiers against each other. Armies and entire countries have perished as a result.

I am certainly not afraid of today's armies.

All I have to do is close one eye and they kill each other and even go back to their leaders who dared to attack me.

WILDLIFE! Mom is how to say... scary..

Then she kissed me big time: You love your eggs and you came back to die near me... it feels good for me.

Me: "I don't! I'm mad at you! Why did you do this to me???? WHY!????? It's... Mean!"

Rudia: "DEATH is MEAN and ALWAYS ALWAYS UNFAIR...Think about it!

You have no weapons, you have no preparation. Enemies almost as strong as you! And prepared.

No escape possible!

You let yourself be taken by emotions and lost precious time and it cost me, your brother and sister's life and finally yours!

This scenario will happen one day! My parents put me through that too. Take it as a gift from them.

Meditate on your mistakes and especially why and how.

Now we're going hunting and you do exactly as I say.

if you're quiet with humans, that's fine, but I don't have that privilege except to crush them.

Then she grabbed me and gave me a kiss: "You don't know it, but even if I'm strict, I love you, you don't know how much! But please Ruby, be proud of your body and soul!

If you've come back to this world in dragon, it's because you have something to do! Consider it a blessing from heaven! YOU'RE A FCKING DRAGONESS!

YOU'RE MADE TO EXPLORE THE STARS! THIS WORLD REALLY BELONGS TO YOU!

NOT TO MEN.

WE KNOW HOW TO LIVE IN THE SIDEREAL VOID, THEY DON'T!

Me: "Mom, don't be so hard, we too eat and drink like them. They also suffer and cry when they are sad and they too know how to love..."

Rudia: "Learn to respect yourself, and to love yourself! If you do that, I'll give you another gift as precious as life, but you must first be a dragon in flesh and spirit! And proud to be!"

"All right, quiet! We'll hunt and feed on the noses and beards of humans!"

I'm going to imitate animal cries, you have to do exactly the same!

If you are surrounded by humans, and you can't hunt without risking being seen, then you bring your own prey!

Do you want to eat rabbit? Speak rabbit

Do you want to eat deer? Speak Doe

Do you want to eat chicken? Speak Chicken! And so on.

Humans call them calls them calls, we call them universal language!

Come on, shush. It's broad daylight! Go up the hill. The joggers will break because it's Sunday and I've already spotted cars in the parking lot. And I can feel the GSM waves. There are packets of them, so usually 1 mobile phone = One human..."

We then climbed into the undergrowth. The stream was down below.

"Rule number one, we NEVER hunt near the den but not too far away when we have a clutch!"

We will go down and away from the human paths and take the animal paths.

Mom, how do we know?

Rudia: "Your card in mind and then the urine!"

Animals urinate on the path and humans on the side! You have to recognize their smell instantly, it must be a reflex. You use your eyesight too much and not enough your sense of smell! You should be able to "see" with your sense of smell and especially your dragon tongue!

you get a lot of smells and you should build your mind with just your sense of smell.

It's too crowded, but next week you bring an eye patch or I'll have to hypnotize you. If you cheat, then it will be hypnosis. Today, call hunting technique.

Animals are not stupid, they also run away from humans....

We're going to have boar for dinner tonight, okay?

(Beuargh!, I prefer pizzas!)

TCHAK, mother turns around and stunned me with her eyes! "Don't you like it anymore? Do you prefer pizzas?"

I fall backwards, her mouth approaching my belly, with all her sharp teeth...

"My little one, hoho, at 5 euros the cheapest pizza and that you will need between 50 and 100 kg of pizzas, you will pay how?????" Will you run after the boar????

You're a dragon whether you like it or not and you have to eat I told you, you're a magical creature... You need blood and meat!"

I said, "What about the vegetables?"

Rudia: "I don't see a unicorn, neither here nor there... Well, they're ruminants. Would you like to chew on your vomit? They're ruminants!"

I said, "Ahh!"

"NORt NOrt (mmh the acorns are big here, there are lots of acorns, come and see) GROUIK GROUI

(Yummy, yummy, yummy, how good they are)

Boar 1: "Hey, leave us some! We're coming."

Rudia: "Tell them it's near the big oak tree"

Me:" We're at the big oak tree and yummy yummy yummy"

"Mom, don't you think it's horrible to talk to your food?"

Rudia: "I've already tried to talk to my stomach but he told me to go to hell... Shh, there it is! Prepare your magic missile!"

"Mom, it didn't work in the astral!"

Rudia: "You forgot an essential detail! THE ARROW, the FORM! Magic is always associative!"

"Ah, I should have used magic."

Rudia: "Finally, you understood! I gave you a lot of clues! We're magical creatures... so what can we do????? Magic! Magic! Come on, pull it out."

I imagine a ball from my dragunov coming out and pulverizing the boar and CHAK the projectile leaves at a mad speed!

SPLITCH! The boar was killed instantly, his head exploded.

Rudia: "Incredible and you didn't use anything as a mana. You used your weapon as a mental support. Perfect! Perfect!

Do you have any spices? We're going to have roast beef tonight! "

Can I go then?

Rudia: "Yes, but we eat together! No excuses!"

OK OK, MMAN!

I arrived in 2 minutes at the farm and I saw Luc and his sponsor at the window talking and agitating and Celine calming the game and Eric getting angry!

"She's going to kill us all! I'd like to for Emily who's nice, but I can't feel this monster! You don't know what he's capable of, I saw him in his eyes he's the devil! Besides, we still represent him with red scales and wings but he's a dragon! he's the monster! I escaped it, but if she settles here, I'm going to America... Emily or not. Besides, I can never have children with her..."

Tears were running down my eyes...

Then he looked out the window and saw the reflection of the kitchen lamp reflected in my eyes.

"Shit! She heard everything or worse than this part!"

Celine: "You're such an asshole!"

Celine went around the house and jumped on me, afraid I would run away.

"Come on in, sweetie, they're talking nonsense, especially Eric. They're just scared, don't blame them. But know that everyone here loves you, don't get any ideas.

If we didn't love you, we wouldn't have had a hard time planning all this for you, would we?"

Me: "SNiff, Yes Tantante..."

Celine gave me a kiss... "Are you coming back for dinner?"

"No, I caught a boar and we'll prepare it on the spit, but would you have some spices or something?"

Celine: "MM,, Yes, you should paint it! Take the table beer, a brush and paprika and cook the fat, here, take this pot and melt the fat in it, mix the beer and paprika, and some apples you put in and some rope. It's not too sophisticated, but you should be fine.

Keep the pepper, we'll go into town tomorrow to buy some more and get some accessories.

And it's for you, okay? Not for your "mother"!

"Yes, of course Tantante. I have to go! There!"

So the boar was emptied and the guts buried far enough away, near the ants.

Then we stuffed it with apples and tied it on a wood above 2 big stones and I brushed it with its fat and paprika mixed with beer.

It is cooked with fir branches to smoke it.

It was really good!

I was making up with hunting.

after that, Mom explained other spells to me but it came in from one vent (dragon ear), to the other vent...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

She put me next to her and some eggs and she lay down on all three of us, well I was under her wing, not her belly in a cosy nest made of mosses.

I had to not get too used to human comfort....that's what's so hard!

I was looking forward to being tomorrow and going shopping with Mom at the market in Houffalize!

I dreamt of deli meats and jewellery to soften my appearance and make friends.

I hope Eric will come with it and not got angry, I really need to go!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
