Falkor and all the others were looking for me now that I'd disappeared, leaving few leads. At the suggestion of the nearby dungeons there was the place where we were to move north to the Dwemers ruins. On the way he thought he heard my roar, but by the time he got there there was nothing left.

Tracks on the ground of broken logs and torn earth. And more worryingly, a smell that he feared above all else, that he recognized from all of them: Ignar the madman.

He shouted and roared at me and then he started moaning and crying.

"You ts ts ts ts ts my poor Falkor! A mocking voice from a crystal ball at the entrance to the dungeon. Then a scream behind him, don't listen to it, go with aqua, but after another sound we heard mnn. Mnnnn mhhhhhhh.

Ah it's better like that, isn't it? The communication has parasites and red interference. But I'll take care of it in time. But there's always the possibility of an exchange. I'm always in favor of dragons, but my master has a logic, shall we say, different from mine."

"Fools go well together."

"Thank you for the compliment, but I doubt Morthales will appreciate it. So for your sake, I'll pass."

Then after showing a Machiavellian smile and showing a strange being with horns and a tail attached to a pillory he took it up again:

Well, welcome to the dungeon. My master loves dungeons and his passion is reactivating them. My daughter here is, shall we say, getting married and, as a bonus, she's a princess! She's the rightful heir to the kingdom of Star. Duncan 1 was a fraud and it was his older sister Fushia who was to be queen in his place. You will have understood that Auberone and Vermithraxa are Duncan 2's dragon cousins, and if they have such a good heart, it's because they are 1/4 human.

HAHAHAHAHA And me, I'm 1/2 human. My father was an officer of the army of Thule whose picture and his flag are here. He taught me everything about how to treat the impure and he taught me all the symbolism of the Arian race and their origin from beyond the world. He was part of a branch called Hydra. They came with specialists including Morthales on board very powerful iron U Boats using a technology common to the Dwemers and Mu's descendants. They captured my mother and trained her and then they managed to conceive me. They raised me and taught me everything. But time caught up with them and I have all their science. Only my master Morthales knew how to prolong his life thanks to the dragon marrow he injected into himself.

But enough talk, I challenge you to the dungeon. The first prize is Vermithraxa. I promise I won't do anything to her... until you lose. After that, she might spend a little part of her life in the lab or making little dragons or join our cause after a few "tests" she should have finished at birth if she sees what I'm getting at...isn't that right, Auberone? But that goes for you! You can take that "test" too.

All were shocked then the doors of the dungeon opened, like a gaping mouth ready to engulf them.

Then the globe sounded again:

"Ah, don't look for me, I'm already far away, it will help you concentrate on the task at hand. And the dragons can enter. All the doors open to let a dragon through, but I advise you to have humans with you, there are mechanisms that require you to go through mouse holes, oh, no, sorry, humans to lower certain levers...".

the magic is also limited. Well, I have other missions to accomplish, so don't take too long. This time real spiders could tear your little red scaled princess to pieces! Goodbye! Oh, one more thing, Falkor, you can trade Vemithraxa for your eggs... At least it's the red ones I'm interested in. The other ones you can eat. They're very good, you know???? My father was human, but he told me he ate Jewish food and it was delicious! I'm talking too much, but Vermithraxa will explain it to you, if you can do it, if YOU can do it, because trials are collective. I'm going to make myself comfortable and watch my globes to see the show and eat some weeping snacks."

Everyone was shocked,

What violence

What bad aura

What a poison.

This evil was much deeper, much more collective, much wider.

We had opened a door to the abyss and uncovered a world of darkness and cruelty where evil was rampant in every corner.

---------------------

I was tied by the hands. HHH hands???? What am I like as a human? My scales? My wings???? My dragon?????

EHHHHHHHHHH??? Noooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! I'm a dragooonn!

HAHAHAHAHAHA, surprise!

"So you don't like dad's present? Know that I'm also your grandfather!

I'm really sorry about your mom, but it was an accident. It's horrible for a dragon to be raised by humans.

I know, my father was human. Well, he was... He's still alive, but he left this world for earth. He has to rebuild everything the way it was after the Great War. But it's not your concern, it's another world that doesn't matter."

Me: "Yes, I know the Great War was won by the Allies in 1945 and Hitler committed suicide in his bunker in Germany."

"CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP! Oh, do you know? But you're a treasure! And what do you know about this world? Everything stopped in 1945, then we know nothing. "

I'm like, "I know the story till 2019!"

Ignar: I think we're going to have a LOOOONG discussion then between father and daughter and I'm sure Morthales is going to want to talk to you and DRASTICALLY change his plans.

By the way, I think you must know why your mother Fushia died: She wanted to warn Duncan about the attack. She was planning to marry you to her son Duncan 2 so that the bloodline would come back "soft" and train you to transform into a human temporarily by awakening the blood inside you but it was obscured by my red dragon blood and dark dragon / poison blood.

She tried to run away and I chased her and I think I misjudged my hit and I knocked her down and she fell off the cliff. She received herself badly and broke her neck. I finished her off so she wouldn't suffer. I was unable to heal her at that time, but now, thanks to Morthales, he has initiated me into witchcraft and the attacks of the magi no longer have any effect on me. I won't be attacked twice more.

But since I'm a dragon who keeps his word, I'll give your friends a chance to find you."

"But what about the way I look?"

"Well, at the next full moon, you'll revert to being a dragon and if your life is threatened or under major stress, you'll return to your former form. It's only natural. You'll see, you can change your shape with practice. Here, this is a drug for your body to find its way.

Consider it a parting gift and I'm not killing because we're even in the sense that I took your mother and you Metanovae.

"She wanted to kill us!"

"Not everybody eats hamburger fries! She's a goddamn bloodsucker! She loved children AU SANG " HAHAHAHAHAHA!

"Ah, one last thing, don't struggle too much, there's paintings all over the dungeon and the wires could get in here and your gesticulations could attract an eight-legged beast. It'd be a shame if they found a mummy..."

So, see you again! And give your sister a kiss! Next time, she'll be the one who turns! I'll capture her in turn. That's a promise. And He ran away and left me all alone, tied to a piloti, unable to move or scream.

Then I started sobbing...
