Author's Memo: Greetings! Did you missed me? I write slowly, but not slow as Slow, and I'm having some inspirations to write... It's kind of funny how it happens when I'm not expecting.
Let's stop the Blablabla and go to the chapter!
Have a good read!

Y'allaer PoV
I was captured with my consent and brought to see their Queen.
They let me enter her throne room. She was sitting in a black chair. It had some metal smell but when her eyes locked on me she said something I would never expect.
“I accept.” The queen said
Let's go back to the past so we can understand what happened.
It had passed two months after the battle with the humans and we didn't get any news about them trying to find where we are. They probably couldn't lose face now. Or they were really busy to not send a party to look for what had happened to theirs knights.
It was half a month later that we found the reason. The kingdom the knights served had been tamed by a single antique and extinct race. The Automatas. They were the most powerful race but once the queen disappeared they lost half of its power, so it was easily killed by the dwarves.
And with their skill they copied the base for their own power suit. With legs and wheels. So they could be used on almost all kind of terrain.
Going back to the topic. Lance asked me to go investigate their city. He gathered information that after a month with the humans the Queen had lead her army to a new city and started to recreate their works.
He said I had two weeks to go there and see what they wanted. And if see if it would be possible to get a peace treaty with them.
He gave me a new ring and he said that one were to me. I was so happy that I had broken some walls with earth magic... Once in awhile, with powerful feelings my magic go out and act for itself.
My present that the captain had give me was always shining and I would always polish it. Once in awhile some people eyed it with envious gaze but no one tried to get it from me. It was easy to see why. I had almost exterminated half of the humans on the previous battle.
Lance gave me two weeks to prepare to go. And a month to complete the mission. It would be the first time I could be allowed to go out without anyone.
I had prepared everything I would carry in two days. And I had soared to my house on the third. It had nothing there. It had been burned. Everything was ash or coal.
I walked with a heavy heart to pile of bones. It was mother's bones. I could smell it. It was left there as a reminder of a witch.

Taking a bag out of my ring I take every bone and place it inside. After collecting everyone I flew to father's cave. I walked until I found the dragon bones.
Near it I place mom's and place every piece together. Her skeleton now rested near father's. I cried and the earth near the bones had been modeled in their looks. Engulfing the bones and using my memories to create their bodies.
Before me stood two earth dolls. A beautiful woman smiled to me near a dragon. She was caressing the body of the dragon as if saying that everything was ok. And it was like the beast was happy to be together with his loved one.
As expected of magical artifacts... Such a beautiful scene had appeared on stone.
It took me three days to go away that cave. And I promised to come back every year. With that I made sure to close the waterfall cave with a rock. It looked perfect normal but if someone could feel or see the mana they would find a good amount in that place.
I had already lost 5 days. So I had gone to the place Lance had told me they appeared first.
I appeared in the kingdom after 4 days of flight. I had to make my tail and horns disappear again. But now using illusion magic I made my eyes turn black.
It was easy to get the information needed and I got to sell some hides I had got after killing some rabbits or a bear. It was good to see the money I had get. 30 big copper coins from all the pelts... I wanted gold coins... They are shinier...
I was eating on a bar when I heard what I wanted.
"Have you heard of the country of metal?" One guy with glasses near my table said.
"Yeah, some of my friends had seen it. They said they had scary metal things with lots of weapons!" Said the bald guy that was near him.
The two chatted for half an hour about it. It was when I found the right moment to talk to them.
"I heard their queen is a beauty!" I said when I got close.
They looked to me seeing if a was dangerous, but when they found a 13 boy they relaxed.
"Yeah, she is! Some thieves had tried to get her when she was traveling but they all got killed." Bald said.
"Wow! I really want to see her!" I said with a smile on my face.
"Forget it. She had left already. And if you go to her place you will be killed. The king is scared of her!" Glasses answered.
"I want to see her anyway! Do you guys know how can I go there?!" I asked with sparkling eyes.
'So the king here is afraid of her... I need to find what she did to him.'

"It would take you a week traveling and the place is full of bandits... But if you want to go... Pay us an ale!" Glasses said and Bald nodded.
I had used 30 coppers on my lunch... So using another 50 on two bottles and putting them before the guys they gave me the information.
I just had to go north. It would take a week to go there. 'So it would take me two days flying. Let's stay here a little longer and see if I can find out why the king is scared of her.'
I was walking near the palace wanting to get some information. But the soldiers wouldn't tell me anything. So I had to try to find a way to ask the maids or butlers.
It took me three days to finally found out what happened. I had to exchange some big copper coins for it... That info got me 2 big copper... How we spend so much in just a few days... Anyway, I found that she had tamed the king easily. She had knocked him unconscious with an attack and had take his whip. And with it trained him... it had took her 30 minutes to have tamed him in a way that he would do what she wanted...
WOW! We need someone with that skill... Think of what we could do with it?
That night I had to go, it would take me two days to reach my destination.
I got at the second night, it was as expected. But I was careless... I was found out really easily. A thing passed near me and had shone a light. I run to some place that it could lose me.
It was flying somewhere... I wanted to fly, but that thing would probably spot me easily. So a ran, using my sensor I could feel when I was near some big armored thing.
But after 10 minutes five armos with small thing surrounded me. I took a stance trying to think how to get out of this situation. But one of the big armor said some surprising thing.
"We were ordered to bring intruder 001 to the Queen. She asked us to catch you without a fight." A static voice came out from the body. "Intruder 001 what do you want? To be arrested by force or being escorted to the place?" He asked while lifting his... Hand sized canon...
"I wanted to go without a fight. I'm surrounded already and if I can go directly to the Queen it would be faster." Nodding to them they took a traveling formation. One on either side, two behind and one in front me... They were treating me like a prisoner but without chains I was more like a celebrity.
They escorted me to the building in the center of the city. It was a little castle with four tall towers. They couldn't enter so a more humanoid things came to get me, this time were two.
They were 2 meters tall, and I could feel that they used mana. They gathered it from the air and used it as fuel.
"Please, this way." A more expressive voice came out from the mouth of one of the things, and I found out that it was a she.
When I entered I stopped. Before me was a great room with 2 stairs, one to each side and five doors. All of them closed but the one in front of me was the biggest and it was decorated with tons of gems.
Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, agates and lots of elemental crystal. The doors were 5 meters tall and 3 meters wide. I gulped down after the sight. But when I looked up I had found myself lost. A big mana crystal was shining in the middle of the room. 50 centimeters of mana crystal shining a blue light on the place.
The two things near me had stopped and were looking at me without hurry. As I was thinking one made a coughing sound taking my attention away from the treasures.
"Intruder 001, I can see that you like or marvelous entrance. If we could show you the dance hall... But now the Queen is waiting. And her order were to bring you to see her." She sounded proud after seeing my reaction. "Now let's go. She's waiting us on her throne room."
They guided me to the left side of the building. A few pictures were hanging on the corridor. Some were showing some of the machines I had found before fighting against some humans, elves and even dwarves.
They duo don't left time to appreciate the paintings or sculptures. They were pressing me to continue walking.
It was after the second stair that I saw it. A complete black door. It looked like it was eating all light that made contact with it.
"Queen. He is here." One talked after knocking the door.
"You can enter." A beautiful voice came. I could feel a small power from it. That one was the Automata queen I had heard about.
The three of us step together on the room. "You two can go back." And the duo bow before leaving and closing the door.
Before me stood a beauty. Silvery hair, black and white sleeveless dress. A pair of black boots long enough to reach her thighs. On her cleavage war a blue crystal. And from an open door 3 manas crystals were facing the moon and near them a blue rhino machine.
A red rabbit machine floated near her and it was the same one that had found me.
Before I can open my mouth to say anything to defend myself.
"I accept." She said.
I was dumbfounded... What happened here?!
