《Dragon's Misery》Back to the Wild Life.

FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP ,
We went around the academy one last time. The sun struck the stained glass windows and gave a thousand and one colours.
It was beautiful, magical. We stretched a veil between the two of us and I had a sudden urge to sing an autumn poem in Tudorian style...
Auberone accompanied me and our friends cried.
Suddenly, I had a revelation. The wyverns should be the embodiment of grace, beauty and music. Not these monsters. We were to sing nature. We were to sing of the sun. The moon and the stars and bring some beauty to this world of bullies.
We went in search of troubadours and spectacle.
My idea was crazy, but music is universal and opens even the most hardened hearts.
we were leaving north to the high mountains of the empire. But it was very far. We made a small detour to the forge and saw Marie, who had really grown into a young woman. She was with her fiancé Edward. She had decided to take over the old forge and Edward had a blacksmith's shop.
We landed behind, in the vegetable garden and everything was in order.
Mary ran towards us and Edward in the other direction. I laughed heartily when I saw the scene.
Poohhahahahaha!
"Mary, save yourself, come and hide in the storeroom!"
"But no, silly, it's my dragon aunts. "
"Then it was true what you said"
"He looks a little skinny," I said. I was thinking of his stature as a blacksmith, but he was thinking of my appetite.
"Edward, come on, I won't hurt you. We're magicians now and we're going to sing and perform."
Then we cast a spell of Music and little angels would fly and pull golden garlands and scarves and a harp would play by itself in the garden by the big weeping willow tree under which we used to eat as a family. A banquet would be held to music and a belly dance would be performed. It went perfectly with our snake-like physique and we would show off our undulations and veils that glided in synchronization with our bodies.

It was special and unique.
The food was delicious and we bid farewell to a great mellow giant chocolate dessert, chocolate fountain and assorted fruit and ice cream.
"We've never eaten anything this good," Marie thanked us.
Paul joined us later and told us about his mission.
Then Mary, Edward and Paul kissed us and we flew away for good.
We flew over the plains, but we avoided Father's territory, we don't know what he is capable of.
We flew about a hundred kilometers and landed near a lake.
We threw ourselves into the water and it refreshed us. All that perspiration!
We spread out our wings on the shore and sniffed it to see if there was anything to eat.
We turned towards each other and Auberone said: "Do you sense as I do?
Yes: Honey!
The funny thing was that we talked all the time together.
We found a small cliff and there were hives and lots of honey. We took rows of honeycombs and ate it. The raw honey is delicious.
The angry bees would glide over our scales and it was funny.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
It was delicious and we put some in our magic space for later.
I was dreaming of making a honey-smoked ham with pine cones and a fruit compote to garnish it.
We usually made a campfire and rested at night.
We'd take turns standing guard and fall asleep...
We heard screams and people running towards the fire.
"Help! Wolves! "
GROOWWLL GGGRR GRAWL
A couple and their two children saw them take refuge by the fire and turned their backs on us. Facing them was a pack of wolves. The father had a flaming branch that kept the wolves at bay as they circled around us.
We said nothing and Auberone had a smile up to her ears as she prepared to laugh at the comical situation.

The mother held her two children at her feet, a dagger in one hand, the other arm holding the children together. They must have been 5-6 years old and the parents about twenty.
She moved back towards what she thought was a big rock and tripped over my belly.
"Good evening ma'am" I said.
"Ah!" she said, surprised. "Claude, we're lost! I love you!" she said resignedly.
She fell to her knees and I still wouldn't move. :
"Madam, we won't hurt you. Sit down!"
She was trembling, frozen with terror.
GROAAOR I said to the wolves as they fled. Then I and Auberone circled around them with our necks and tails around them.
"SIT DOWN" I said curtly!
They got down on their knees and on all fours.
"What are you doing here" I asked?
"Mercy, mercy, my lord dragons!"
"Quiet, we don't eat humans, you're safe with us. "
I magically made a table appear with basic food, water, bread, cheese, eggs and milk and a cup of fruit, apples, pears, grapes.
The children, hungry and dehydrated, pounced on the food.
Claude spoke up: "I am Claude, we were travelling to Ti'naal a village nearby and we fell asleep and then a horde of goblins ransacked our camp, taking my brother, his wife and 2 children with them.
We fled and wolves chased us here. But wyverns eat humans and you talk."
"There are good and bad humans, and there are also good wyverns."
We're resting and we have a terrible journey tomorrow and we'd like to rest. Eat and watch the fire. Good night."
Christine: "Madam Dragon Lady, we have to save my cousin from the goblins, they're going to eat her and rape her. Viite"
Me: "Stop lying. If you're human, then I'm a fairy. You stink of beast and it makes us want to eat."
Claude looked at his wife and started begging not to eat them.
I told them I don't eat intelligent people.
"Lycans, we are lycans. The wolves have detected us and are hunting us."

Artifex
In a world where art has power and power is everything, Thando Nkhosi is an MMA fighter trying to stand out and be somebody. At least, as much as one can among 23 billion other people. Life is generally good under the [High King]. That is, until he and his friends are catapulted into the upper echelons of the Inner Planet Federation by being granted a power that may be a bit too much for them to handle, and given a task that seems impossible. Trying my hand at a hopefully unique LitRPG system. No stats or number crunching though. Kinda scifi, kinda fantasy but scifi elements only really become plot relevant after the first arc. Won't be doom and gloom but will get really dark at times. Updates twice a week at minimum (2-3k words), sometimes more when school decides to let me out of the pillory lol. Inspired by a writing prompt on reddit and WarHammer 40k orks.

Avine: The Journey
Avine, the name recorded in the oldest records of faith concerning the creation of the world. The lands of Avine are in turmoil. A lengthy war recently ended. Casualties were terrible, but not limited to the dead alone. Breakdowns occurred in society, and kingdoms struggled with civil unrest and a never-ending stream of refugees. Mariel Bluegale has lived a relatively uneventful life. Largely sheltered from prejudice by her parents Serin and Arwaro, she grew up in a kingdom that prospered thanks to its strictly neutral policy. But the winds of war are once more on the horizon. Peace is merely the prelude to a new, even bigger conflict, one which may be decided on the identity of one. Release schedule: One chapter a week for the forseeable future. Reality caught up with me, this means I have to scale back my writing time considerably. I promise to finish it, but it will be in pieces, and likely around holidays. As always, any -painful- errors (spelling, flow, consistency or time) please let me know.
