《I, the last black dragon, 6 year old. (TOME 1 of the TIAMAT'S WARS SERIE)》The great betrayal.
Advertisement
The Mordos had already abandoned Sahelia. Leaving the way clear for the Zergs and the Krulls.
The emperor of the 3 factions barricading himself with his tanks and troops on his palace ship at the top of a pyramidal structure.
His gundam-style robot and a tank were the most powerful conventional weapon in this world.
Although banned, the atomic weapons were in the hands of all three factions.
Tania looked out the Hood's window and inspected her troops.
"We no longer have the support of the Mordos..." she cried. ...how to move weapons and cope with the coming surges.
We were a target for both factions.
We should be able to negotiate-- Yes, mercenaries. Like the Mordos had. But the Krulls and the Zergians have their own troops... there's no information about mercenaries working for them...
It's distressing, she thought.
We'll send Marise and Fomalhaut tomorrow to request an interview with the Krulls. Me, I'll go see the Kobolds and their wise men.
Argentrix will stay here with 20 copper dragons, she knows how to defend herself. Alcor, the sand dragon will go to negotiate... no, I'll go to negotiate with Baast... Alcor will go in my place to see the Kobolds. He is a sand dragon. He will persuade these brave lizard warriors.
On Tania's bed, Argentrix was waiting for Tania for special treatment, for her accomplishments.
After their incessant groans that revolted Marise and Fomalhaut, sleep took the two dragons. What was dangerous was that one day Tania would change gender, her chromosomes being special.
Argentrix was going down a dangerous slope, destroying her past with me a little more each day.
Yet, she couldn't know what an arduous task I had stubbornly persisted in.
Our bases were becoming factory worlds.
But Tania watched as the trains left to distribute cristals to the other two factions as a gesture of alliance.
It all fell apart and scattered.
Then, in a rage, she penetrated Argentrix...
She was looking down at argentrix panting beneath her.
She took some drugs and stuck it in the mouth of the dragon.
"Here, take this if you want another ride!"
The dragoness came back on.
Tania: "That's it... we're going to fry them with magic!
Argentrix, still physically clinging to Tania: "I like when you have that look!"
Marise was amazed at how monstrous Tania was becoming. She no longer saw her friends but disposable soldiers in a war without end.
Very early in the morning, she slipped quietly on super strong spider strands stretched over Tania's room. There was a small hole in the ceiling, hidden by a sticky paper and another one to see through.
She had the whole range of talismans and had practiced with Fomalhaut to put her plan into action.
After going around with all the dragons that couldn't stand it anymore, she finally got her hands on DragonNip, a drug that when applied with other products became a fearsome poison capable of killing a dragon.
But it had to be kept in two parts so as not to awaken the protective instincts and super sharp sense of smell of DragonRaptor.
This time there was no backwards machine, she had made up her mind and nothing could change her mind.
She looked again at the pictures of happiness spent together, but she dried her tears.
"I have to kill you or put you to sleep, mom... when she's done with Argentrix, it's my turn..."
She looked at Fomalhaut who nodded and kissed the little murderer.

So she put on her suit and hood full of buffs to mask her smell, noise, breathing, all her senses and also her murderous aura.
The 6 senses, near the 7th circle of the assassin where she started to block her mana. Perfection, the common of her art.
She remained there, behind the wall, watching her mother, a light tear pressed against her eye. She had to gather all her courage and her will and master her art.
Tania turned on her back, facing the ceiling, her eyes half open, she shed a few tears and then closed her eyes.
Marise put her hand in front of her mouth, torn between the love of her mother who was still crying and her mission.
"If I put her to sleep or kill her, she'll be proud of me"!
A black, microscopic thread came down from the hole and placed itself just above the mouth of the sleeping raptor.
The wire wobbled with her breath and Marise injected some mana into the wire to stiffen it.
Tania moved her nostril like a dog sniffing if everything is okay while sleeping.
Two drops were put on the thread. Each of the drops were the two components of the powerful toxin.
They moved slowly down the wire, getting closer to Tania's mouth.
The first wobbled and was as if held by a thin film but my gravity helping, the thread not being absorbent, the 2 drops fell into the mouth of Tania who made like a grimace and opened her eyes immediately.
Before Marise could react, "BIGBY HAND STRENGTHENED."
And a giant hand closed in on Marise and pushed her through the ceiling...
"Nice try, kiddo," and then she fell to the ground, as if defeated.
Marise was freed by Fomalhaut.
Tania lost her strength and fell to the ground, her limbs betraying her.
Fomalhaut: "You're a monster. If the poison doesn't kill you, we'll leave you here to rot with Zergalor and Baast. You'll certainly find your foot there (sexually), but you'll never lift a paw to Argentrix again.
Argentrix got up, awakened by the situation.
"Tania???? Tania???? What's going on? What's going on? What did you do to Tania.??"
"Come on, sweetheart, fight...don't die!! Stay with me, Tania!! Tania! I love you... stay awake!"
Fomalhaut: "I remind you that you are married!"
Argentrix: "He's dead and it's his ghost... it's over, it's another life!!!"
Fomalhaut, raised his paw and slapped his daughter with a monstrous slap. She got up and went outside to crash, the walls gave way on impact.
Tania: "You raised your hand on your daughter... this is the beginning..."
Fomalhaut: "Die, monster.... You have taken away my dignity and that of my daughter."
Tania laughs ":HAHAHA, yet your body was saying the opposite. You said you loved me and I may have your eggs in my belly but you killed them".
Fomalhaut "Why are you still talking???? "
Tania: "What you killed is my love and trust and you killed my daughter Marise... you convinced her to kill me..."
Fomalhaut had his paw on Tania's belly, pressuring her to shut up.
But a smile emanated from Tania.
I'd like to smoke one more and she showed me the box of Havana cigars.
As soon as Fomalhaut looked in the direction, Tania jumped on him and made a key that put Fomalhaut to sleep.
She looked at Marise with a sadistic smile: "Congratulations on your exam. You managed to "Kill me" but now you are dead because you are no longer my daughter.

Marise: "But Mama..."
A hothouse landed on her lips: "Shhh, the dead don't talk anymore...
You made 2 fatal mistakes: "I spotted you by the smell of your tears and secondly, your poison, it is cancelled when the blood is loaded with drugs and tobacco.
I'm not the first time I've attempted an assassination. But you still have a lot to learn, but it won't be with me anymore.
Marise: "Did you look at yourself once? What happened to the mom I admired, the proud and kind Tania.
Tania: "But I always disappointed my friends, in the KGB there are no family or friends, but potential targets or recruits."
I took you on as a recruit. If you survive your "punishment" and she looked through the hole where Fomalhaut lay wounded...
"Yes, your punishment, for he'll go with you to say hello to the Kobolds."
Marise : "But mum.."
"Tania, there's no more mum."
While she was talking, Argentrix was licking her paws, as perverse as the Jurassic monster.
Tania: "What do we do with your father? "
Argentrix: "He's a wimp! Do what you want with him, I don't want to see his dirty face and reproach myself. Have you seen my cheek? I've got a BALAFRE!!!! That bastard can die, like my mother and all those dracosires.
The dragons who heard the conversation, with their sharp senses, looked at each other and did not recognize Argentrix anymore.
They wanted to talk and intervene, obviously to desert and disperse over Sahelia, to try their luck each on their own side but they were interrupted by the bombing of the base.
The first waves of zergonians tanks began to break out.
Tania shouted, "Fire. Return to your posts or there will be no tomorrow. It's too late to run away, we're surrounded.
Then Tania, looking stern, mean and she looked at Marise like a common insect.
"Poison for poison, it's my farewell present!
Marise fell to the ground as she backed away.
Tania, looking at her with a sadistic smile like a US Marine training officer.
"Look at those bugs crawling and reaching out their arms..."
'I've seen hundreds like you. But you haven't defecated in your pants...
Tania brought her mouth full of teeth close to Marise's face.
"That's why I wanted to kill you... you've become a monster..."
That was the one sentence Tania never wanted to hear from Marise.
Like lightning, Tania "s jaw closed on Marise "s neck, injecting her with her venom.
Then she released the crying kid and put her hand over the teeth marks on her shoulder and neck.
She looked at Tania and spat at her. "I don't know what you've done to me but if I die, I'll curse you from beyond the grave and..."
Tania silenced her with a blow of her tail that broke her jaw.
"This is a little going-away present, and you'll think of me until the end of time.
Come get revenge when you're stronger, bug."
And Tania cast a spell on Marise and Fomalhaut and they disappeared to find themselves in the middle of the desert.
Fomalhaut came to his senses and saw Malika on her knees, crying and holding her neck with a piece of cloth to stop the awful wound.
Fomalhaut: "You are strong, my little one, but you will have to be even stronger because I know what Tania has done.
He took the little human against him. "You remind me of Argentrix when she was still nice. Ivan was really the best thing for her..."
Then Marise got the hiccups. Black slime came out of her mouth. She was salivating and had a toothache.
The slime was coming out of her mouth like a zombie's mouth.
Fomalhaut cast a minor healing spell on the girl and himself, but it was too late for poison. It was catastrophic, irreversible.
He tossed the girl and protected her from the blistering sun, then rocked her while she vomited her guts out.
Marise: "You know what's happening to me? I'm in pain, don't you have an antidote?"
Fomalhaut caressed her beautiful white hair and they clung to his talons.
The skin came off, the flesh melted. Then a creak made the little one scream as she grew in size.
Her arms lengthened, her nails fell out and were replaced by talons.
Marise found herself like Tania, a dragoraptor.
She fell asleep in the arms of the dracosire who was crying about the injustice of a forced transformation.
"I promise to get you out of here! "
The dragon spread his wings and from his claws he took the small one and flew away towards the black cliffs, the world of the Fremens.
But meanwhile, the dragons were continuously draining their mana to fire magic missiles and humans were launching rockets and flame-throwers.
This was useful against infantry but not accurate enough for relatively mobile light or heavy tanks.
Tania tried to make dragons eat mana cristals and spit fire, throwing magic missiles, shields, lightning and acid and fire jets.
The corpses piled up and Baast watched the men die like flies.
It amused him. He saw that the dragons were slower, had fewer reflexes and were exhausted.
"Send some civilians and children... we'll see if they've got any under their scales."
All kinds of vehicles were sent to the Dragon's Fire Abyss and most of the dragons stopped fighting,
The tanks raced down but it was Tania who grew in size, the ammunition bouncing off her much thicker scales and feathers.
She grew to a height of 20 meters, her maximum height and the civilian vehicles, hostages and heavy tanks, she made no distinctions.
Argentrix also began to do the same, slaughtering children and civilians.
The dragons were disgusted and most of them fled into the desert, taking with them the humans still alive.
The tanks entered the base and destroyed the rocket launchers, the last line of defense.
Back to back, Tania and Argentrix were surrounded by hundreds of warriors.
Then, from the turret of a special heavy command tank, Baast appeared.
"You fought well, Madame... Tania?? and you too, Mademoiselle Argentrix."
He looked at the mass of bloodshed before the dragons and applauded.
In all my life, I've never seen such a beautiful mass grave. You are artists of death and my master, Baron Zargos Zerg, would like you to become his guests.
Tania smiled and elbowed Argentrix, who also smiled.
Suddenly, the dragons jumped up and came at lightning speed at Baast's feet.
"It is said, General Baast, that you offer "special" treatment to your guests if they are brave."
Baast laughed and turned around. His laughter echoed through the valley.
: "Welcome to the house of ZERG!"

Letters from a Dying World
Times historic are often penned after the fact in the lifeblood of the pitiful, forgotten masses. That roiling, uncountable crush of humanity, they who held the pikes and they who threw down the tyrants. Their veins opened by gazes academic, sharp and cruel, and pecked away at with quills, written out of their own story. The Second Dark Crusade was a time of such poignancy. A time when the light of man waned and flickered, choking in the acrid smoke of its own inadequacy. As befitting of such an age it has been covered more than a capital whore, and so I attempt not to tell that story again. That story of dull, unfeeling analysis. Neither here will you find the browbeating, propagandistic screeds so common in the hands of men, the light of youth still burning behind their eyes. Nay, here I shall attempt to cover fresh ground, not tread on the grave dirt of long dead authors. Here I shall attempt to tell the story of the small lives caught, unbeknownst to them, in the great and torrential downpour that we now call history. Here lies the true story of The Second Crusade. - Loremaster Ip'Qal
