《We reincarnated as a two-headed dragon!》Chapter 8: Princess Avia part 3

This new title will allow us to be much stronger!
“Cool! If only we had known before...” Said Amelia.
“Yes... Too bad that this dragon body was not provided with a manual.” I said.
“A manual? It's your turn to believe that you are in a video game now? Haha. By the way, Princess Avia seems to be impatient, maybe you should answer her.”
Oh, that's right, I forgot. I almost lost at my own game...
“Dermiak! You can call us Dermiak!” I said.
“Dermiak? What a strange name... Why did it take you so long to answer?” Said Princess Avia.
“It's not a strange name, it's a cool name! And it's my turn to ask a question! Hmm ... Why do you look so much like a human?” Said Amelia.
“A human? What do you mean? I look like my mother and my sisters... I have never seen a human. Do humans look like me?” Replied Princess Avia.
“Um... More or less. The upper part of their body is similar to yours but for the lower part they have legs instead.” Said Amelia.
“Legs? What is it?” Asked Princess Avia.
“Hold-on! You don’t know why you look like a human, in other words you can‘t answer our question. So, you lost!” I said.
“Huh? But it's not fair... I said that I looked like my mother...” She said.
“In that case, why does your mother look like a human?” I said.
“I... I... I don’t know...” She answered.
“Then you lost...”
“But… But…”
I scam her a bit, but I can’t stay here any longer, it's too dangerous.
“Remember, no negotiations. You promised.” I said.
“I... Very well. I will accompany you to the outside of our territory. Follow me!” She said.

She looks disappointed but not upset. I thought it would be harder to convince her.
Unless she leads me to a trap...
“In this maze there will surely be several patrols. How can you be sure that we will not be spotted?” I said.
“I'm going to use my skill [Commandment], thanks to this skill I can order the members of my species to stay at a distance. We just have to hope not to meet one of my sisters.” She answered.
I see... She doesn’t seem to lie. I will trust her, hoping not to regret it.
I follow Princess Avia through the maze, while staying on my guard.
“Kyle, why are you so vigilant with her? You saw that she has the intelligence of a child...” Asked Amelia.
“It’s better to be vigilant. We are in an enemy territory, I remind you.” I said.
“I... I know. But I don’t consider her an enemy. Rather, I feel sorry for her...”
“...”
I don’t know what to say. She is too naive.
Many people hide themselves behind a fake smile to backstab you when you trust them. This is especially true in the business world...
I’m not an emotionless person. However, I'm not someone who trust other easily, let alone now that I'm in an unfamiliar world.
--------------------
This maze is much bigger and more complex than I had imagined. We've been walking for over thirty minutes now...
Princess Avia talks to Amelia from time to time, but their discussions don’t interest me. I prefer to make sure there is no danger in the surroundings.
“We are reaching the limits of the territory of my race. Just keep going in that direction.” Said Princess Avia suddenly.
Indeed, in the direction she points, there are far fewer cobwebs than before.

“Dermiak I... I’d love to come with you to discover the world, but I can’t abandon my family... Can you promise me that we'll meet again someday?” Said Princess Avia.
She has tears in her eyes!
I'm not really good at tearful goodbyes...
“We promise!”, Amelia said, “We'll meet again soon and we'll play with you a lot longer!”
“Really? Thank you! I will wait for your return with impatience!” Replied Princess Avia.
This is how we leave the arnives’ territory for a new and unknown territory.
“You should not have made a promise to her. We may never see her again...” I said.
“Something tells me that we'll meet again one day!” Answered Amelia.
-------------------
I keep going through the trees for a long time. I am now sure that I have definitely left the territory of these damned spiders. Phew!
I suddenly see a river in the distance...
“A river! Let's go drink. All this conversation with Princess Avia made me thirsty!” Said Amelia.
“We didn’t use our mouths to talk to her…” I said.
“I... I know. But I'm still thirsty.”
I head for the river and drink with Amelia.
“By the way, why did you choose the name Dermiak? By coincidence, or does this name mean something to you?” I said.
“It was the name of one of my characters in a video game. A powerful dragon slayer! The name is cool, right?” She answered.
“Huh? You... You gave us the name of a dragon slayer... I guess our name does not really matter anyway. We are a beast not a human.”
“Don’t say that! Our name is important. Maybe one day there will be a legend about Dermiak, the invincible two-headed dragon!” She said.
“Yeah... If we live until then...” I said.
“Oh, don’t be pessimistic...”
“I'm not pessimistic, I'm realistic. We only have 2 hours and 33 minutes to complete the quest and we don’t know where the lykanoss’ territory is...”
“OoooooooooooWhoo!!”
Suddenly, I hear a howl in the distance...
“OoooooooooooWhoo!!”
I recognize that howl...
The lykanoss! We finally found them!

Island Paradise (Grashien Chronicles Book 1)
The Grashiens have survived in hiding for millenia, peacefully watching over the human race from within. The arrival of one girl sets in motion a chain of events that will be impossible to stop. What will come of this unexpected change in circumstances? How will the tribes react? And will the Grashiens be able to rejoin society for good? Author's note: This is the first book in what is expected to be an eight-book series. The first few chapters aren't very good since they were written when I was about ten, but the quality improves around chapter 7. Please bear with it; I'll try to get the chapters in as soon as possible. Thanks!

Devil's Basement: Colony Ragnarok
Far beneath the surface of a planet wrapped in a toxic atmosphere, competing political ideologies stare each other down over a heavily militarised line that cuts through the city on their border. Among the dark rail tunnels and mine shafts are an unfinished treaty up for negotiation; a fanatical terrorist group with questionable backers; and ordinary people caught in the middle. In this claustrophobic environment, those who desire peace must act quickly or these tunnels will collapse in the fires of war. _____ This story is based on a role-playing map game I GM'd awhile ago. The four main characters are based on the four players from that map game, and the general sequence of events follows the game as well. Cover art: inncect (formerly astrxphoria) from wattpad.com, where this story was first published.

El's Revenge
“Revenge is not for the dead- we, as the living, take revenge to relieve the burden we feel,” I whispered into the air. “Salvation for the people who suffered because of you,” I watched as the city burned in the flames. “Salvation for the people like me, who believed in the proclaimed heroes when in reality they were the devils.” I smiled faintly as the ‘holy land’ of those ‘saints’ was destroyed. I heard rustling sounds as Charlotte came to stand next to me, grabbing my hand. “El, are we the bad guys?” If I was still the same as I was before, I might’ve broken down and started crying. Now, it was different. “A villain is just another victim. They cry and mourn, it’s just that no one heard, leading them into madness. It’s one of the reasons why we know the most, but care the least.” I took a deep breath. “We may be the bad guys in other peoples’ eyes, but in my story, we’re the heroes.” Charlotte took in my words for a while and pondered, before nodding in agreement. “As children, we loved the heroes, as adults we understand the villains.” I looked at her and bonked her on the head, earning an angry glare from her. “Hey! You’re barely an adult yourself you know,” she grumbled. I laughed and ruffled her hair, before countering her. “At least I’m not 12. You can’t even be considered a teenager at that age.” After that, we silently watched the flames ravage the land, before leaving.
