《I, the last black dragon, 6 year old. (TOME 1 of the TIAMAT'S WARS SERIE)》The Congress
Advertisement
We were in humans and flew to Washington and arrived, joined by Higgins and Charlie, the chief pilot of the Anchorage base as a witness.
Higgins: "Sorry to interrupt your leave, but I received the order from the President himself. You will be compensated for the time lost."
We crossed a city full of woods and villas.
It was frankly a beautiful city with all its parks and monuments. It was clean.
We felt the power and that we were at one of the centres of the world.
A military vehicle took us to a large building with a dome overlooking 2 symmetrical wings whose main access was by large stairs.
But we went in the back and were escorted by other soldiers.
On my uniform and Argentrix, we had dragon wing badges.
We were given masks to protect our identity and followed a man in a black suit who acted as a chamberlain.
Then a door was opened and a terrible noise came over us.
We were on a stage and in front of a large audience packed to capacity.
We were talking about the tensions in the world and the interests of the United States, which were threatened all over the world.
Then the gentleman in black invited us to stand in front of the crowd.
A bald man still wearing his crown of hair and equipped with a moustache and a brown-grey Vandycke beard, in his 60s, well struck.
I entered the great room in dragon and the whole room kept silent and shouted small cries of concern to know whether or not to flee.
That's it, we'd like to ask a question that bothers us: Why would we give human rights to creatures who are closer to beasts than humans?
Me:"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I thank the American people for taking us in and treating us as your equals. We are eternally grateful to the Native people of Alaska for their shelter, shelter and food. You are a family to us."
I: "I also thank America for giving me a chance and a job. I am a Sergeant Major and I am proud to serve the United States! "
Prosecutor: "Your language is excellent but you come from another world and that proves to us that you are not plotting?"
"I was born here on earth, in Belgium and was transferred into the body of a dragon. My human family is still alive and they recognized me! I still have my dad and my cousins and my collection of video games from that time..."
The tension in the room subsided, with the smile returning to many of those present.
Prosecutor: "A question that comes up frequently since you say you were human. You're not anymore? And if not, what is left of you as a human being?"
Me: "You're hard on your questions, I just got out of military school..."
Prosecutor: "We'll get to that, but answer me!"
"You have to face the facts, I'm a dragon... but I swear to you, I'm not evil, by the way, I love my wife... here..."
Prosecutor: "Female? Not female?"
I: "I have nothing against LGBT people but I am a believer and when I was transformed, I went on a pilgrimage and my mother and grandmother taught me well these values that I have cherished all my life and whose principles I have followed. When I waltzed in the Middle Ages, it was thanks to the church that I was able to survive and make friends and then I was the last living dragon. At least on earth, I don't think there were any other females. But I was in love with a human being, but war and politics separated us. I really suffered and I prayed several times for my life to be over. I was exhausted and left with blind people in a salt mine and good souls taught me pottery. I was tortured to eat children and I preferred whipping to this horror."

People in the room started shedding tears.
Then I continued with the other world.
"A magnificent world on the surface, unpolluted but of barbaric brutality. Absence of values, references or magic is a scourge to crush the strong and the weak. But there were good souls and that's when I met my beautiful dragoness. My beloved wife.
We got married two weeks ago in Las Vegas in a church with Elvis OH YEAH!"
laughing in the room.
Prosecutor: "I see, finally, we understood, so you live like us. You have values and no one has forced you to do so... Good, very good......
-sigh-, have a glass of water and then continue:
Ivan, if I may use the familiar form......
We see that you are doing everything possible to integrate yourself, but here we are the people of America and not an ethnic group. Some are afraid of dragons and want to lock you in a zoo.
You have the floor to explain it your way. Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you.
"Just as you didn't choose the face you have, it's the same for me, but if you had to identify me, consider us as a people like the pygmies but in a big way.
We share the same air, the same land and the same intelligence but we are called survivalists, Indians with our culture and I, well, I have the same beliefs as you and my wife worships her ancestors like you Chinese.
We are a better adapted hunting people than you are for our environment.
Let's say we have the camping kit... you tents, we have our wings. You have knives and we have our claws and we steal...
"Thank you" by interrupting me, says the prosecutor.
"Another question: You come from another world. Dragons have arrived... your family I suppose... and 3 others and also fugitives at sea...
In the event of a conflict with the other world, which would involve a war, what will you do?"
I: "I am a soldier and my role is to serve my country and defend its interests. Besides, this world IS MINE!" I have a uniform and I'm proud to wear it."
Prosecutor: "What will your family do now?"
I: "We have a farm and a ranch where we raise cattle mainly for food and we work in theme parks occasionally to please children and our fans. We also have bank accounts and stock market investments to be economically independent. They already knew how to manage their assets in the other world and finance is the same on both sides. Except that everything here is faster with the Internet."
Prosecutor: "Thank you Ivan, you can take your place."
"Mrs. Argentrix, a question, if you had to choose, here or in the other world?"
Argentrix: "I will follow my man everywhere! But I prefer this world! People are more civilized, everything is better and you are kind to us! No one has tried to kill us yet... Thank you Americans..."
the audience applauds my wife.
"Um...Ma'am, if you have children, what are you going to do?"
"Request maternity leave?????"

HAHAHAHAHAHA......
Prosecutor. I think you're going to tell me to send them to school etc..... I'm done with you.
He continued with Higgins who made his report and secret report on me and I had no idea how freaked out I was.
It hurt my heart to hear the raw truth but I had to endure...
I was a soldier....
Then Higgins turned to me and lowered his head and apologized.
"Ivan, Argentrix, I'm sorry, but just like you, I'm a soldier and I serve America. You have brilliantly passed these tests and you have just passed the last, the hardest one.
You kept your cool and passed on your role as a soldier before you rebelled and thought you had been betrayed.
Thank you Ivan.
But you have one last thing to do here and that's why your presence was essential.
But first of all, you must swear an oath ON the HONOUR of your name, your family and on the fact that you are now officially the political representative of the dragons. Your duty will be to monitor and guide the members of your "Ethnicity", to represent them but always to put the United States before them.
I raised my paw and swore an oath to serve my nation and follow the president.
After a lot of applause, I thought it was all over.
But then things went wrong.
Prosecutor (He lowered a projection screen with the world map and America was illustrated in blue and half the world in red.
"During your training and leave, a lot has happened.
The information here is confidential but must be disclosed to the congress.
Since Brexit, things have gotten worse in Europe. Russia bent to economic sanctions but suddenly it recovered and made a military alliance with Japan. Japan has disappointed us and violated all its agreements made at the end of the Second World War
Worse still, China has allied itself with Japan under the pretext of religion and common ancestors.
and an empire has just emerged, the empire of the rising sun/USSR.
They are an economic power and part of the Arab world and half of Africa has just made them their allegiance.
Europe remains loyal to us with NATO, but what is surprising is the British empire that joined the Japanese empire.
This is intolerable and unprecedented. Everything has happened since the disastrous expedition of the Prometheus where 47 found themselves in ferocious beasts and only 3 kept their heads and the rest perished.
We don't know what's going on on the other side, but the dragons and their emperor have taken in the survivors and made them ambassadors to represent us. They proposed the creation of diplomatic relations.
The funny thing is that there are humans and only dragons have extended their hands (legs) to help us.
But what concerns us now is the attitude of England and the MI6 agents who come here to claim asylum!
"Mother" was seen on purpose with the organization SPECTRE which is still "Officially" a terrorist organization but now "in secret" our ally!
Which would have been unthinkable a few months earlier!
With that, we no longer know who our friends of our enemies are and that's where you're going to come in.
Dragon Agent Sergeant Argentrix, you will be responsible for the personal safety of the President of the United States and his Secretary of Defense.
Attacks of unknown types hit our agents and they turn against us in an intelligent and subtle way. The counter-intelligence service is under attack as we speak and we are relying on your powers and senses to find out who is behind these attacks.
You, Ivan, Sergeant Dragon Agent, are going to investigate Georgie's disappearance... We think we are infiltrated deeper than we think and that unimaginable forces are in place at the moment.
Find the source and destroy it! Don't forget your oath.
Then Higgins turned to Congress and said, "Ivan told me he was running for president one day that he was angry."
Laughs...
"If my chain of command were to collapse, I would do my role as a soldier and protect you..."
Applause.
Then, we went out and flew off to explore the parks and finished our escapade in a drive-in movie.
Then we took off again to a mountain where we spent the night and did what every couple does together at night.
In the early morning, we licked each other one last time and I returned to Alaska as she left to join the bodyguard team to train in protocol, in its human form.
The bodyguard gorillas wanted to test her but she never showed that she was a dragon but that didn't stop her from passing more than one over her shoulder, blowing herself up against a wardrobe.
I rushed to my apartment in Hissa's arms and she showed me her egg!
Hissa: "I think you're going to have a little brother... You're the one who treated me, aren't you?"
"Yes, Mom... I love you, but you're very young too! You're only 19!"
Hissa: "You will always be my son! And I know that if anything happens to me, you will look after him!"
MRRRRRRRRR (affectionate kisses)
"Do you think Auronne will have her eggs hatched at the same time?"
"Hissa, I hope not on the same day!"
Georgy is missing! I said to her.
Did you see anything suspicious?
Hissa: "Seen, no, felt, yes!"
