The tortured dragon
I was in a corner of the bunker prison and with my high senses, I recognised the footing of the religious man.
So the padre sat down and said to me : "You knew how to stay human and reacted as such."
But a crime is a crime. You must expect to be judged by dragon hunters.
But don't worry, you won't get the death penalty because you have sincerely confessed and regretted your actions. But if you have anything to say or inform us, it's now. After that it will be too late.
You're free to move around in this room. It's about giving and taking. You obey and you can move and if you have a bad idea, we'll know and it'll be the shackles or worse.
Don't forget Torquemada came from here and the pendulum was not a fiction!..
GLUPS!
"Can I phone or write to my family?"
Not yet, not yet... we're running tests on you!
When I was washed, I knew that the man in grey, King Fel... I think... was coming.
I didn't move from where I was. Some men wanted to chain me up, but the king signalled that it was not necessary.
He turned his back on me and looked through the gate where there was a little light from the outside.
"Emily, you are the first dragon to be sincere and to have a human soul.
You have been subjected to a series of tests that are invisible to you, such as human meat and blood.
ALL dragons are fond of it and go crazy in the presence of pieces filled with human blood from a blood bank. You, you blew it.
Then you didn't show signs of addiction to human flesh which is like a drug, like a need to feed on energy."
Me: "Mother Dragon told me that it was necessary to keep me healthy. But it's been six years now since I lost all contact."
King: "I see. I understand."
We analyzed your blood and found a way to turn you back into a human.
It's an excerpt from the cross of St. John, an ultimate exorcism. He will dissolve the demon in you and you will find your human form again but it is painful and you can die.
It's also part of your punishment. For a dragon, it is life and the worst punishment before death and for a human, a blessing.
If you are sincere and you haven't lied to us then drink this magical wine."
I think I must have misheard or my senses were playing tricks on me.
A potion to make me human again?
Apart from transformation magic, which I haven't mastered for lack of a mentor and is very risky, I couldn't believe my events (ears).
In my grimoire, I knew that there was an enlargement and reduction spell, but that Rudia knew how to transform herself into a human, but this involved human blood in her rituals, which was barbaric and monstrous.
I wanted to become human again, but I was afraid too. Would the leukemia come back?
I preferred to believe in science, whereas magic could be cruel. There were limits. Butchering a human for my own pleasure was out of the question. Perhaps Grandma Tiamat had another solution? But I was also afraid of her, at least much less than Rudia, although her appearance was nightmarish. Especially her size, which was 5 times that of Rudia. And me... I could fit in the palm of her paw and she could gobble me up in a single mouthful...
He presented me with the cup and I drank the cup without hesitation.
Many soldiers and people came in and applauded my courage.
Emily, you passed your final test. You are free as a human and we recognize you as human. We trust you and that you can be a model for other dragons...
"Of the other dragons? I'm not alone?"
King: "What did you think? We're still hunting! They're monsters and you're the only one who regrets, cries and confesses. You confirmed your humanity here. A dragon would have begged, fought back and fought to the death.
Your "mother" is a queen... you are a dragon princess. But she produces dragons even without laying. She catches humans and conditions them. And when they are ready, she injects her blood and they turn into hideous dragons.
Obviously, she didn't teach you that you had a lot of sisters and brothers... In a thousand years, she has laid eggs...
You don't know anything.
Me: "Queen???? Yes, the queen of lies!"
But before we leave we had deaths in our elite troops and the dragons growl and look at the camera... it sounds like a language.
Would you be able to help us in our struggle?
Me: "I wouldn't know how to betray my biological mother".
The men were disappointed
"But she's no longer my mother! She's my enemy!"
The king smiles
We played the recording
Grraah agraah rooaaaar mraaaaaoooow .........
Azure: "THEN, BIG SIS!!??, you little human shit.... You traitor!
Mom is waiting for your last chance to forgive you and make you a dragon.
Oh yes, they're nice people from Daesh, we even made an arrangement: shields against children. MMMMM how good they are!
"Take a good look, it's instructive for you who aren't even a dragon"
Ochria grabbed a little girl and gobbled her up in front of me
"The more they suffer, the more the flesh is tasty! Come and join us soon! We're having a great time!
Oh yeah, the Spanish prison, nice, isn't it?
Haven't you begged Mom yet?
We can even see you from where we are! And don't you feel you're wasting away?? because the cure is human flesh!
If you come, you have to bring Eric. Then we'll see if you're on our side or not. Oh, yeah, sorry for biting you, but you were too appetizing. "
I didn't want to look anymore, I was crying... and I started vomiting.
"Lord! Rudia is seeing us right now.
they're my brothers and they taunt me and want to give me one last chance to be their big sister before Rudia attacks me. They want to eat Eric, my brother, to test me..."
King : "What a monster... And why is she here?"
Me: "She wants plutonium in a ball but it may still be a lie but one thing is for sure, you have to kill her."
