I was happy now that my wife was awake but Cabal was taking care of her with Star.

It was too early for her to meet me, but that was what I thought.

She was staring at the camera and staring at my soul.

I didn't know what to do anymore but I remembered the hydra. I had to become the loving husband again, the protective father.

I decided to take my courage on both legs and went with Waspy to meet my wife.

Waspy was in human, with wings in the back.

The dragoness was still chained and I gave the order to Star to remove her shackles.

She looked at the TV with Cabal:

"Why these chains?

Cabal replied : "Your strength is very important and you could hurt or maim yourself. It is to protect you from yourself. Nothing told us that you would have all your reason. We took precautions."

Then she shuddered.

A rock wall opened in two, revealing behind it a long corridor and a human figure with glasses who stepped forward.

Immediately followed by a huge winged creature.

I entered the area of the artificial garden and stayed at a good fifty meters.

We were in a clearing with a magic pillar and all around, endless woods.

The girl moved forward and then kept a distance of 15 meters.

Kate panicked when she saw me and the human.

She stepped back, looking at the woods behind her, obviously trying to escape.

She became frightened and stumbled, unable to synchronize her paws.

And she fell limply to the side, kissing the grass.

A whimper followed and she crawled backwards on her back, very painfully, pushing herself with her hind legs heels.

"KATE!!!!" I'm here! I'm the red dragon! "

And I waved my hand at her.

She screamed with fear, and incomprehension.

I then curled up in a ball, my head resting on my tail and took a nap.

The dragoness recovered and crawled a little, straightening up and trying to flee in the other direction, as best she could.

Waspy looked at me but, without opening his eyes: "The only way out is here...let her get tired..."

Kate started to trot slowly, passing between the trees and reaching a small lake where she could drink and see her reflection in the water. Then she skirted the lake and crossed a stream and ran in a straight line through the woods, to find herself after 1km in the clearing, near where I was sleeping.

Terrified, she ran to the right, then in a straight line. She met the lake again, the stream and finally the clearing.

She then turned around and came to a ruined castle and ran past it to find herself back at the clearing.

What was this witchcraft?

She then went in another direction and found herself facing a cave and an impassable rock wall.

She entered the cave to hide and think.

Two to three hours later, a small voice was heard.

"Mrs. Reinhardt? Mrs. Reinhardt?"

She found it difficult to speak, but a small hand came to wipe away her tears.

"I'm Waspy and this is Star, our robot leader..."

Kate: "Waaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!! what will become of me???"

Me: (I had arrived)

"Kate, you are not alone anymore....we are here with you....!"

It's time to live!"

She wedged herself against the rock wall in the cave, surrounded, with nowhere to go.

I theb cast the spell: "Major relief!"

She then saw me shining with a thousand fires, like a ruby

Slowly, she moved forward, one paw forward to feel and she touched my front paw.

Then the claw and she went up along my paw, and she sniffed by instinct my neck and she recognized, the typical smell of tobacco and cigar that I loved to smoke.

"Hans???" is that you???

She grabbed my head between her paws and Waspy was on the alert, star too.

But I was not afraid.

My resistance was beyond anything... but I was confident.

Her muzzle touched mine, as if to reassure herself and I tenderly caressed her cheek, my talons folded into a fist so as not to hit her.

Then she threw herself between my paws, neck against neck and she looked at herself and at me.

"What will become of us?"

While massaging her neck, I began to lick her.

"Where are we?" asked the dragoness.

"In Doom Volcano, north of Seattle, in the Rockies."

"And the people? All I see are robots and a child..."

I looked down...

"Hans???" "Answer me! Please... say something!!!! I am afraid!"

"You saw the video... we literally cooked in a regenerating liquid and only the dragon genes survived... The humans didn't resist.... They were slaughtered..."

Kate: "And Waspy?"

"Unfortunately, Waspy is not human... She is a form of survivor... It's complicated..."

I looked at Waspy who then turned and showed her beautiful fairy butterfly wings..

"Waspy is originally a fairy but unlike the others, she has a human soul..."

Kate did not understand.

In the earth, I drew a circle representing the earth and another circle, the sky.

"The space is immense and yet, when we die, our soul goes to heaven to be reincarnated but the angels have damned us...

They took our children, the 'chosen ones', but I managed to kill one of them. They are only aliens obsessed with mysticism, self-proclaimed primordial gods.

They have repopulated the world in their image with lots of fantastic creatures, which prevents humans from reincarnating or returning. And at this point, we're an extinct species like the dinosaurs are."

Kate began to whine and had a hard time with the situation.

"Why did you do this to me? Why didn't you go with us?"

"Who will avenge our people, our children? All those happy families destroyed. Even though our world was cruel, we still knew how to manage to live happily, to eat and even to have hobbies, friends and travel. When we were sick, we also knew how to take care of ourselves... There were many beautiful things too. Art, music, sculpture, sports and adventures. All this was taken away from us... By Tyrant!"

Then, drying hes tears :

"Hans, you are crazy! How are you going to make? The fight is unequal. You have no chance...."

I began to smile.

"Hans, even as a dragon, I recognize your smile...."

And she sighed. "I know you have an even crazier plan! You haven't changed in years, but how do you plan to get the kids back? Let's say you manage to get there. It's been 3,000 years since people died... and our children died of old age..."

"You're right, honey... but that's what Tyrant thinks too. But I have a plan."

Kate sighed and walked away toward the castle.

I followed her.

"Kate, listen...when I said I was alone, that's not accurate.." But Star, under Cabal's instructions cut me off and made a sign that it wasn't.

I had to let the steam pass, let it take its toll.

Basically, give time to time.
