I heard the growls and told my two brothers that we will have to fight to survive!

"AuRon we're going to go left and right of the fire pit. They do not see well in the dark and it is a huge hole with embers those who fall into it will die.

You, RuGaard, go right, I'll go in the middle and kill them! My flames are very powerful! Hit them with your tail to send them to the hole" You have a needle in your tail! Prick them! They'll fall dead!

Then I ran to the nest and took back the rifle and the cartridge strap.

Just after I took the gun and took my place, the wolves rushed into the cave by the inclined plane. Some slipped but they were adults, powerful and warriors.

I shouted, "WOLVES GO, MY MOTHER WILL HAVE TO DEVOUR YOU!"

They stopped suddenly and a black wolf, taller than the others, approached.

"I see you're brave and you want to defend your two brothers. I'd like to know your name before I kill you!"

"Why are you attacking us?"

"I have nothing personal against you but you are monsters, you have destroyed the tundra, the mountains and the forest! And your mother destroyed all the clans from here. "

"We were supposed to go fishing tomorrow."

"I'm sorry, but there won't be a tomorrow for you."

"My name is Wistala and mother killed me and I was born a dragon!"

"Did you know Wanda?" asked the black wolf. "

"Yes, I loved Wanda and her two children who were my friends!"

"Ah, said the black wolf. Wanda was a mother to me! I must avenge the blood with blood"

"And what's your name, black wolf?"

"Eclipse! But now I'm sorry, but my pack wants revenge on you!"

"Why do I know how to talk to a wolf?"

"You talk like a human, I start to believe you, but I can't control the pack anymore. Don't blame us, we'll pray for a better future life for you! If you let it happen, you won't suffer!"

"Sorry Eclipse! "

He expected me to blow and he had already jumped aside but I blew in a direction that he escaped and I fired where he was supposed to land in a blind spot in my jaw.

Smart!

Normal they're wolves. But they didn't expect me to shoot and neither did my brothers.

I didn't wait for my rest: BANG on the next one that collapsed!

My brothers, hold on a few seconds, I'm reloading!

4 wolves came at us and I spit fire with my brothers to repel this wave and they turned back to have 4 wolves again.

Their strategy was simple but effective: empty our fire pocket and then make a pliers attack.

But I shot the other two fleeing and they collapsed.

"Hang in there!"

I reloaded the rifle and 4 wolves attacked at once and they took my fire directly which roasted 2 of them so hot it was and my brothers only burned their hair. BANG BANG and 4 wolves on the ground.

There were only 6 of them left and I say! Attack! Attack!

2 collapsed stung by our stings Then it was hand-to-hand combat!

A carnage! I sent a wolf to blow itself up against the rock face and I turned the neck 180° from another and they were trying to slash our membranes but I had reloaded and BANG BANG. All the dead wolves!

At the entrance, I saw mother looking at me with astonishment and she saw the carnage! We weren't hurt, just a few bruises, but the wolves were unrecognizable.

A whole clan had been exterminated! The terrible clan of the eclipse.

Mother: "Wistala! we need to talk! "

My brothers were afraid of me! They were terrified and ran to hide behind Akulatraxas.

They point at me with their paws: "Mom, it goes boom and the wolves fall. It's not going to go boom on us, is it?"

"No, no, darling, if she wanted to do it, she would have done it a long time ago.

Mother waved like a black snake, her tail whipping the air with a menacing look. She was blocking the exit.

Wistala, Wistala, my dear child... I should congratulate you on this carnage and gift you are giving us. Victory over the Black Wolves clan of Eclipse!

But you're holding a bipedal weapon and you look like you're using it!

Explain it to me! My darling. I don't know if I should call you Darling, pupil, Wistala, my treasure or... Heater maybe????

I dropped the gun and ran to my mother crying as a child would, but I received a cold welcome. She stood up, her chest in a ball like a cobra ready to bite and I bounced against her and fell to the ground.

Mom??? Hug??????

She smiled but it was a placid smile.

Her tail was on the ground between her and me and she was whipping the bottom of the cave. and when I wanted to crawl on mother's paws, I told her: please, mother, I won't do it again!

She remained thoughtful and no longer even looked at me, she ignored me like an insect.

Mom???

Her mouth full of fangs found itself against my chest in less time than it takes to say it:

"It's convenient for you to ask for a hug when I'm about to kill you! You're cunning too, but you can't teach an old monkey to make faces... You are indeed the flesh of my flesh and blood. I can't deny it, but you were a real treasure to me! I loved you with all my dragon heart but no matter how much I look at you, you play dragon but you're not a dragon"

"Shit! I'm sick of your complicated words! "

The tip of her claw lodged in the V of my jaw, under my tongue and it lifted me up. I was in a lot of pain!

Mom?

Mom???

Please, Mom???

Tears ran from her eyes and she shook her head! "What the hell am I doing! I'm killing my own daughter! "

She let go and hugged me.

Sorry, Wistala, Mom was very scared.

But how did you find this? And how did you use it?

"This is the first time I've had one!"

Akulatraxas knew how to detect lies! Yet another Shaman power!

"Mom, (I was too afraid to call her Mother or I was done).

Eclipse the black wolf was raised by Wanda. Who's Wanda? Who's Wanda?

"Wanda is a shaman whose daughter you ate." Akulatraxas answered me.

You can keep your gun, it's your trophy after all! But how did you know to use it?"

"I played with it and it just came to my mind."

Akulatraxas relaxed and released the tension. But she turned to me.

My child, come on, we're all going to get some wood.

We went to get some wood and brought the branches back to the four of us in the fire pit.

we put the wolf carcasses out to freeze to get some reserve and we emptied and removed the wolves' skin.

we worked together as a family and when everything was tidy, my brothers went to bed under mother and she raised her other wing and told me, come to bed here next to me. We both need to talk.

I snuggled up against mother and was terrified.

"I'm sorry, she says!"

"I'm sorry for what?"

She looked at me like a python looking at a mouse, but her eyes were full of tears.

"A monster, I'm a monster!" she said.

"I know we'll never get along! I'm not blind. You hate me and a mother feels it like daggers. What I did to you is unforgivable and my punishment is terrible!

You're not... actually, yes, you're... You're the little human girl I slaughtered! I don't know how, but it must be my punishment for all these crimes. Wanda had already warned me that I would pay a lot for my crimes.

You had no choice. I took you from your family, I destroyed your life and I tortured you! And above all, I made you eat your own body. I still can't believe what I did to you!

Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

sobbing!

in addition, you defended your brothers when you could have turned against them with the wolves and taken revenge on them and you didn't.

Thank you. Thank you.

"Say, do you remember everything? Heater?"

Yes, of everything! I replied angry!

I remember my feet torn off, and my head twisted, and my neck was broken.

I remember every blow of teeth that shook my body slashed piece by piece and you enjoyed it. every vibration brought me closer to death and the feeling of emptiness and cold when your body is cut in half, I thought of my mother who had to cry and my little sister waiting for me somewhere in the stars and that poor empty egg, without color that would never know life. And, and, and, and the night that comes when it's daylight!

PLIC

PLOC

PLIC,

Mother's tears on me were a spectacle of revenge and regret.

Then I added: "If I didn't have all these memories, I would have in front of me the most wonderful mother I've ever known. You surpass my own human mother in love!"

She got up and screamed with grief and said to me, "I'm sorry, I can't fix anything! I'm just a beast, just a monster. Nothing and no one can change that! But if you still have a spark of love for me, don't spit on it. ! I would like to teach you so much! to hunt and hide you and use the mystical arts of dragons, to make you discover the world with other eyes, to give you this world, to introduce you to beautiful dragons and especially to protect you from hunters." That's all I have to offer you. By being a dragon, you will be able to live to the end of time and see the world in a different light and you will be able to fly and one day, when you are ready, I will teach you the mating rituals so that you in turn create your family and your tribe.

If you practice the mystical arts, some dragons can take on a human appearance and you could get back some of what I took. But give me a chance to love you!

But if you don't want anything, I'll disappear from your life! We're going west. Your sense of smell will guide you and your instincts too if you know how to listen to them. You will always find yours and I will always be there to welcome you, I will always be your dragon mother! I don't care about me, I know how to defend myself, but I protect and watch over your little brothers. They are your family now and they are your blood, never forget it!

You're free to go or stay! If you want to go, I won't stop you, but then wait until we go first then.

I was in shock!

I fell asleep, confused! and in tears at the edge of the fire.
