In the base, silence reigned.

The dragon stayed in front of Colonel Clement.

"What's the earth like?"

The colonel was worried.

"Why is it so bad?"

Hirrax: "I'd like to go to a bar with Ivan, ride with the hells angels and hit some furry. They say that whiskey comes out of the ground and the highways are golden... And that we make good money in Las Vegas... We go to a love hotel and jump on the bed and jump through walls and fall into the garden... And there's Elvis who can marry us too...

Then we have to shout at children without hurting them attached to a giant mouse that laughs all the time in Wonderland..."

He put his hand on his face...

"General Hirrax, this world... "then he fell silent..." You must stay with Ivan all the time. This world is much more fragile than you think."

The discussion being nowhere, Hirrax asked, "Can I see Ivan?"

About the size of a human, she followed Clement, who took her to the infirmary.

A large bed for a wounded dragon...

I was curled up in a ball and Hirrax, to Clement's surprise, lay behind me in a small chair.

She began to lick my ears and put her arms on my shoulders, the bottom of her jaw against my head.

With her free paw, she combed my long black hair that fell down to my buttocks.

She combed my hair and blew out: "Ivan, Ivan, I can never replace Argentrix, never, but I want you to know that you mean a lot to me. I'll do everything I can to help you find her.

We'll do it together. You know she wasn't alone, and she was with Tania. With her, she's safe. They'll be all right. They are powerful dragons and other powerful dragons were with them... Trust them, believe in her! If she is my sister, she will also find the resources to get through this.

At these comforting words, I opened my eyes and my tears subsided.

She then put her forehead against my back and her tail wrapped around my thigh.

I felt her body warmth and her soul trying to soothe me by giving me all her love.

I stretched out my arm and put my fingers between her fingers and gave a kiss on the top of her paw.

She half straightened up and put her paw over me and her neck bent to have her face in front of mine.

Her muzzle came closer and she kissed me, her tongue against mine. Then she withdrew, turning her back on me, and a small groan, a lament came out, for she too was sad that she had lost her sister, and that I was her inaccessible prince charming. She loved me madly but also respected me. Then she whispered something very low so that I would not hear but maybe a little bit... "How I would like to have your child too... Sniff".

I stood up, sitting on the edge of the bed, she also sat down but looking into the void.

Hirrax: "You've risen from the dead... You have Mum' s powers... Mom is able to pierce space and time..."

....

...

Then she started again, as if it takes time to assimilate.

"I want you to train like you've never trained before... You have the strength and the power to find her, so that WE can find her. EVERYONE here will help you!

The japs have portal specialists, too.

There are unicorns and wise mages scattered throughout this world.

We must capture them and make them work for you, to find our home... and Argentrix..."

At the words "our," I turned my head to Hirrax...

Hirrax: "What? You expect me to go back to hell when it's all over??? I'm moving into your house with OUR family, whether you like it or not! And...Schuut, don't interrupt me: In love, nothing is won. If Argentrix had his chance, I want to try it too, no matter how slim."

She made me laugh and I unconsciously put my hand on her paw. It obviously didn't escape her!

Then I went to the locker room, where I also had a locker with a change of clothes and Clement, curious, saw that I knew the way to the base and in front of me my locker with a coded wheel, the combination of which I knew.

I opened it and there was everything, books, some personal items and confidential documents. But I just took my spare uniform and underwear.

I also had dragon accessories, like a loincloth that made Argentrix laugh, but there were pockets and leather centurions to hang military insignia as a uniform.

I gave the heap to Hirrax, "Here is your military officer's uniform. You keep your rank of general and you will gather the soldiers in the square, introduce yourself and blow the horn for the victims.

Hirrax: "But this is the US ARMY!!!!"

Me: "Not anymore. It's the US infernal army!

A few minutes passed, and I asked Clement to have the rally held.

I showed him the video from Neuville and told him that if I was Ivan, that I was still the leader of the armies and a member of the dragon ethnic group, but still a member of parliament.

The bugle sounded and the men were scared, but they saw a human in a uniform with red diagonal stripes.

The uniform was spotless but tinged with blood.

I stood on an improvised stage...

"Dear countrymen, as you already know,

And I took the US flag and dipped it in blood.

The men were shocked...

"I do not desecrate the flag of which we are all proud, but it is for the honor and memory of all those who perished in this unjust and unnatural war.

It is also to remind you that blood is the colour of life and that our allies and now your infernal comrades are unjustly deprived of it. They too want to see the sun again, to enjoy the lightness of life. Many were like you too, a long time ago, and they learned to despise humanity because it does not respect life at its true value. It is always when we lose it that we realize its value.

That is why you must understand the resentment of the demons and creatures that populate the abyss.

As soon as you respect yourself, you respect them too and the resentment will no longer be borne by you. You will have the chance to enjoy life in a different way and have great companions that you can rely on.

Unfortunately the diet for some of them is revolting to you, as it is to them.

If you are spared, it will not always be the same for your defeated enemies.

Do not interfere. It is like taking a bone from a gnawing hound.

I'd like you to meet your new general, General Hirrax, leader of the 60th legion.

You heard right. Our army has 60 legions, but each one of its soldiers is capable of crushing tens, if not thousands, of humans.

Our weakness lies in our technological backwardness. But our strength lies in powerful magic.

I'm not going to beat about the bush.

The empire is now sending troops with landing craft and the kingdom of Magestia is sending troops of foot soldiers armed by the emperor. They are united and will be married within hours or days. They got engaged at their last ball.

We are 20 scattered and there are only two US legions here. 10 legions are coming to crush you and force you to surrender unconditionally.

We will help you repel them, but it will also set off a celestial counter-force equivalent to the help we will bring. In short, a good for one evil."

One of the men, "So we're the forces of evil then?"

Hirrax, unaccustomed to being interrupted, wanted to grunt, but I grabbed her paw with my hand...

"They have a right to know... They may all die and pay a heavy price for associating with us."

Me: "Very good question... In chess, there are black and white pieces.

No one is meaner or kinder than others. If the demons are horrible and eat humans, the angels, behind their beautiful smile, live comfortably while the poor souls work like corporate slaves until they forget themselves. and when they are exhausted, they are recycled . Black hell versus white hell. Don't forget that the demons are fallen because they did not agree, rebelled, like us...Balance and free will was won at what price??? what sacrifices? Pain, heartbreak...?

Look at me, it's dark when the sun is up. But I no longer see the darkness. It's full sun for me... it's one of the curses of this body, of my mother.

Demons no longer see the evil they do, just as angels no longer see if the good they do to one does harm to another...

The only thing you need to know is that you are soldiers, from 2 armies joined together with common goals. Little by little, you will see things for yourself, differently.
