After all this information, I decided to arrive with Zmei on land to meet our friends at the reserve and bring some employment contracts.

But first we had to take care of each other.

First Darkia:

Major Healing on her wing to restore damaged tissue and nerves.

Then my ribs hurting,

Major care, too, and on my paw.

Right away I feel better.

Remains my scales but it's important to stay in the sidereal space so I'm also taking care of myself.

After a session of care, I rested again under Darkia who became a little bit like an adoptive mother.

"You know, Darkia, I'm really scared. I asked Ignar if what he had seen in the temple was true with the symbols of the three-headed titan, and he replied that it was really my mother, or so he assumed.

As far as he knows, the Titan and the goddess who spoke to me in Arcadia are each one of the heads or personalities. But that the Titan would only have 1 head at the moment and he's looking for 2 of them. That's awful! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Darkia: "You don't need to have studied to know that 2 heads are missing and there were 2 eggs..."

"I'm scared Darkia, I don't want that... To think about it, it's worse than death... it's beyond everything! I'm willing to make sacrifices, but this! I have to get the hell out of deep space, She might be able to resurrect me..."

"We're all with you, my darling..."

"We have to warn Auberone, she's in danger if she stays here! And Arcadia is worse!"

"Sleep my darling, I'm watching over you!"

And Darkia sang me a song and rocked me like her child.

"You have a beautiful voice," I said as I dozed off."

The next day we were in great shape and looking good.

World: "I'm leaving now, the ship is yours! I'll meet you on luna 1 for loading. Okay? You've got your future on the line now! I know you will !"

A cargo shuttle docked at the Vulcanus and Darkia boarded the freighter with me and we headed for Montana.

The shuttle arrived close to the camp and without asking for the rest of us we flew to the industrial barns and overcame the security systems without any problems.

All the dragons were waiting for me and gave us a warm welcome.

They had prepared roasted prey, and a real feast. Heater and the rest of the camp were amazed at the arrival of 2 new dragons, but before they could say anything Zmei and Darkia huddled together tightly, all happy to be together again.

Heater: What's going on? And who are you?

"I am Auberone's sister, Vermithraxa. And this is Darkia, Zmei's mother who was captured and hunted on Artemis. I brought her here."

"But Eva?"

"Eva? She'll be here soon.

You weren't an illusion then?"

"A magician never reveals his secrets!"

"You don't have a necklace!"

"What are they for? They can take it off whenever they want."

"You risk contaminating the other dragons.!"

"Mrs. Heater, we've come a long way and why aren't you joining the party?"

"I'll inform Peter World..."

"I'd calm down if I were you! We're not animals and we're not like the ones who let themselves be sold. "

"But"..

"Ms. Heater, I advise you to look at the hierarchy of World's staff."

She looked at her comm and got all red. "But how?"

"My official name is Vermithraxa Longhorn, aka Eva Longhorn. "I am the senior operations director of the terraforming unit and commander of the Vulcanus. I am officially emancipated and an employee of World Yutani. I have come to create the first Council of Dragons."

"I will apply for official status as Princess of the Dragons and officially request our independence after voting and signing official documents mandated by me."

The first thing I ask is that you remove any tags or necklaces from every dragon here. It's humiliating and degrading.

If there is a tattoo or a marker, wipe it off!

We have suffered enough and as far as I know there have been no incidents involving humans.

So I went to feast with my friends and meet Fuchur, but something in his eyes told me that it wasn't really the same between us anymore. Something must have happened."

After drinking and eating cayenne style food, we moved into a barn and slept together.

"Fuchur, my beautiful Fuchur, how I've missed you! Come on, let's get out of here!

I'd go to another barn full of straw and go to bed and Fuchur would come and find me.

"What happened?"

"Vermi, you've changed!"

"You've grown up too, you're a beautiful dragon now!" And I put my mouth next to his and he turned his head!"

"??"

"What's going on? What's going on? Fuchur? You know I haven't stopped thinking about you once? Give me a hug, I've been waiting a year for this! Since the battle with Profion."

"Vermi, I think I've waited too long! And I'm taller and I've had time to think. I love Auberone too, but I'll stop it with you. I haven't digested your adventure with Trevis on Artemis and Aqua and Falkor are very angry with you.

We want to keep the eggs whether you like it or not and I love Zmei! She doesn't know it but I want to do my oyster farm with Bubble and her brother and Zmei. Our studies are going well and I'm thinking about moving there. I'll have a human life because I feel more human than dragon. I think I've never been a dragon and I never will be. I'm happy here and I don't want to leave anymore."

OOAAAHHHHHH,

Cries....

Broken Heart..

"Vermi!??" shouted Fuchur!

"DON'T TOUCH ME ANYMORE! I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU ANYMORE!"

PAN, slap him!

And I fly off to the top of the nearest rocky hill and look at the stars;

GROOAAAAAAAAAAARRR (Sadly)

My world is falling apart! I'm lost! I'm lost!
