《Dragon's Misery》The Prophecy
Advertisement

So Ricardo releases the original disc with all the details that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Ricardo: I think we've located a temple of Seth not in Egypt but here in Guatemala. It's amazing to find Egyptian remains outside of Egypt.
You see, bird, but it's a guardian to protect us from the Devourer coming.
A cave was recently discovered deep underground and the entrance was sealed. In this cave we discovered cave paintings detailing the power of the Devourer and the massacre that followed.
We see here, flames, smoke, women, children, pets and warriors all exterminated, struck by lightning.
It is said that the two discs together can indicate where a weapon to repel the devourer is found, a weapon left by amaterasu, and the disc here allows one to find and locate the devourers or at least indicate their direction."
I:"
Mr. Ricardo, that's a great story you're telling me, but what does it have to do with me and the mission?"
Ricardo: "I have an official mission here but the disc was pointing to Here, Luna1. There should be clues here to the colony, or to the dragons working there.
Can we talk to them?"
Me: "No problem. I think some of them would be interested in archaeology and paleontology. Some of them love stories, telling stories and hearing stories."
Ricardo: "The funny thing about history is that the record is pointing at you!"
Me: "Then let's go "devour" that rib steak at the buffet!"
Ricardo: "You've got a good appetite, I see!"
"Yes, I've been around dragons, they're rubbing off on me a little bit."
We ate together until Razorback came to join us.
"Hello Razorback, this is Professor Ricardo and he has some questions for you. Would you like to join us at the table?
"Professor Ricardo, this is Razorback, despite his appearance, he's one of the brightest dragons. The first geek dragon, a genius at computer coding and programming. His logic is relentless."
"With pleasure, Commander Eva! Honored to make your acquaintance, Professor Ricardo."
Then Razorback sat down to keep his head not too high in relation to us and a specially designed cushion was used as a seat and he put a veil over his muzzle to hide his fangs and be less intimidating and also out of politeness.
The veil was also used to prevent drops and projections of food on the guests because of the anatomy of our mouths and the fact that we do not chew but crush and it is inevitable that there will be projections of food in front and to the sides.
This also had a reassuring effect on the guests, sparing them the spectacle of the food being sent to a grinder.
Ricardo: "How far along are you in the preparations for your first mission?"
Razorback: "Apart from the various formations we're undergoing, we're training to operate in the lunar and orbital vacuum.
We don't need suits and the danger is far less for us than for humans. That changes a lot.

We practice reconnaissance in the field, analyze potential hazards and make reports that are sent to the orbiting laboratory. That way we can better judge the effectiveness of the terraformer. We learn how to repair, operate and maintain it.
We also make a reserve copy of it for training purposes.
We also have to take care of putting the structural elements into orbit and securing the ship's engines and infrastructure for the human technicians. The premises are adapted for mixed dragon and human use.
While the humans are in artificial hibernation, we will continue our virtual training program and those who are ready will pass their certificate of study.
The Vulcanus ship will be docked to the Marenostra and will serve as our common quarters.
Once there, the ships will undock and the Marenostra's engines will be used to lower the unit.
The platform, once disengaged from the terraformer, will be re-coupled to the Vulcanus and the return trip will be made. There will be the opportunity for 1 couple of dragons to settle or not in the colony. Mostly to help the settlers start the new world the following year.
Indeed, the new type of terraformer saves centuries and makes a world breathable in less than a year. The advantage is that the remaining dragon will de facto become the governor of the planet."
Ricardo: "I'm impressed to see non-humans taking part in such an ambitious program, my fears about the great reptiles diminish a little."
Me: "But speaking of the prophecy again, once you locate the temple of Seth and find the devourers, what will you do?"
Ricardo: "We have a council of wise men, but we must eliminate any threat to us."
Me: "But once you find the two eggs, what will you do with them?"
Ricardo: "We have to make sure they don't hatch, but, Madame Commander, you seem to be well informed. How do you know they are eggs? Didn't I ever mention it?"
Me: "Logical deduction, but you should know that one only becomes a commander through effort and ingenuity.
Here, I am World, I represent his interests and I must be his mouth and eyes.
But I would like to point out something to you: My father is a bloodthirsty brute and he even killed my mother and tried to eliminate me and my little sister. If parents are vile brutes, their children can't help it and they don't have to pay for their parents' crimes."
Ricardo: "I'm sorry to hear that and I'm sorry for you that you have to go through such hardship, but that doesn't explain to me what this has to do with the prophecy."
Me: "On the contrary! If you find the eggs, why should you eliminate them? Wouldn't it be less barbaric to give them a chance and raise them and teach them to respect life and its wonders? I think there's food for thought here."
Ricardo: "You take problems differently from others. You are not driven by fear. It's true that your reasoning is rational and you ignore lethal emotions. Seen like that, yes, there is food for thought.

But as I can see you're involved, we're inviting you to participate in an excavation at a new site allegedly discovered by the Nazis 200 years ago."
"Yes, I'm very interested, but you haven't answered me. If you find the eggs, what are you going to do with them? But anyway, it's very likely the eggs were taken by the Nazis at the time."
Ricardo: "That's right, but we're looking for clues about the weapon that may have been used to hunt him at the time. We think it's a timeless artifact that forced humans to unite and overcome their differences because the threat was so great.
The egg itself is less important than the weapon. The weapon is the guarantee of our survival.
The fact that the disc reacts, means that you are linked to the prophecy and that you are a potential chosen one or a heroine or a descendant of heroine.
We leave in two months, I see, so we have time to go through the relics together."
Razorback: "It reminds me of something I've seen before!"
I turn to Razorback and give him big, "Shut up!" eyes like, "Shut up!"
Razorback, ignoring me in his verbiage came out: "Yes, a record with three heads, and a crown! But I don't know where I've seen that!"
I put my hand in front of my face, disappointed by the idiocy. I'm really starting to believe that geniuses and retards work the same way... " Damn, Razorback," I thought... Then he turned to me, and started moaning, aware that he had made a blunder."
Ricardo: "I see you have authority over dragons and your reputation is not overrated."
Me: "Yes, Razorback is very clever and he has an eye for detail, HEIN? Isn't that so? by striking him with my eyes."
Razorback: "S S S Sorry, I think I have to go, I suddenly have something to compile and a program that escaped me, and, well, I'm going S Orry Vermi."
I get up and drop my plate on Razor. "Come on, Razor, you're all dirty, I've got to wipe all this sauce off, I'm really sorry." And Razor followed me like a little dog and wanted to give me a lick, because he was madly in love with me.
When I got to the washroom, I used my strength and grabbed his nostrils with my fingers painfully.
"Are you stupid or what? You almost blew my cover! You're putting me in danger! Just think about it. Who do you think the devourer is?????"
"I don't know, did he whine... a space monster??"
"Two eggs, two sisters, the Nazis, Arcadia..."
"He collapsed to his knees and cried his eyes out. Forgive me, my love! And he licked my shoes.
I was in shock! I didn't know he loved me so much...
I began to cry and I stroked his head that was lying in front of me."
Ricardo went to the toilet too but was surprised that I spoke in Draconian. So he couldn't understand me.
But as we were in the common room and we were not in the men's or women's area, he could see us and he was surprised that a dragon was whining at my feet.
He thought, "I'm afraid of that woman, to put a monster like that at her feet..."
Then I took some wipes and wiped Razorback and kissed him on the snout.
"Since when?" I asked...
"Ever since Arcadia, I've loved you and your sister, but I've loved you most of all. But you were with Fuchur all the time, and I never had a chance, plus I'm horrible and sharp."
Me: "You know I love metal, so you'll have a chance if you don't fuck around so much, ok? Come on, it's forgotten, but watch out. Ah, yes, the devourer... That's me...!"
Razorback suddenly turned pale.
We returned to the table, just as dessert was being served.
Ricardo: "Do you speak Draconian?"
Me: "Yes, of course, if they're learning English, I think we should make the opposite effort. I work with them and they are my colleagues, not my slaves or my animals."
Ricardo: "I am amazed that he is so docile with you, that he fears you and begs you..."
Me: "He had just confessed to me. He would like to go out with me! And I said yes!"
Ricardo:"!! A human and a dragon???"
I'm like, "Does that shock you??? I'm not. I, you know, I think Fourreux and Heater at the center are getting married or have a happy event together..."
Ricardo: "But, but, it's against God!"
Me: "Fourreux was baptized a Christian, I don't see what the problem is... They love each other and that's all that matters. They're not animals, but thinking beings like us..."
Ricardo: "I'm sorry to hear that. I'm under the surprise...Besides the fact that the two species are compatible, it's incredible! It changes everything! Even for the Council.
But we could continue on earth, in central America this week?"
"Yes, we could."
I then took out a printed document and gave it to Ricardo. Razor, having rushed things, I had to keep the initiative...
"where where where where did you find this??"
"It's a family heirloom, I'm in possession of the disk, it'll save you the effort of searching and turning the whole planet upside down."
Ricardo: "Look, the designs are juxtaposed and the scales form a pattern of stars through the holes in the original disc, but you have to put the two pieces together."
"I'll bring the record down to earth with me and we'll put them together then. But, aren't you afraid that this will activate something? "
Ricardo: We'll see.

This project has no purpose
Summary: This is the story about the life of a "human" amidst a world that only appears to be earth at first glance. Long ago the face of this world resembled the typical tales of yore; of knights and fairies, swords and magic, however such an era has come and gone. Even the world of fantasy has progressed steadily into the modern epoch filled with the wonders of science and technology! In the ancient times a certain crisis had occured that lead to the quick decline of various magical species. Due to their low population and general incompatibility with the other races they could not crossbreed to save their numbers. Left with no other choice the major races of the world gathered together in an attempt to change the fate of this dying world. Their only hope was a special 'world-tier' magic known as 'the dusk of harmony'. The result of this magic would dissolve every race into their purest essences known as 'aspect' and instill them within the human population. The humans were the best choice as their numbers were numerous and form was similar to most races. As such, the various races of this world managed to save themselves in essence and soul only, though perhaps there was no other choice. With the various humans now carrying the weight and aspects of those who came before, life has continued onto the modern age. Yet, even amongst these hybrids 'Pures' emerge from time to time, beings who have inherited not only aspects of the ancient races, but their forms too. These Pures are often times exceptionally talented and seen as near deities. This is the story of a perculiar boy who is born with the soul of a stranger from the world known as 'Earth'. With the memories and soul of a human, he too is a rare Pure; a pure human. --- This project literally has no purpose and is being written because I felt like it. There isn't any semblance of a solid direction nor have I thought about any characters aside from the main character and a few auxiliary cast. If you would like to contribute to building this world with me then please contact me through a DM or by leaving a comment, I will be sure to credit you.
