*ROOOAAAAR* I heard a roar when we get close the place we will engage in a war. I have talked with the small metal thing more than once and tried to pull an alliance with the Queen. But she never answered!

All the men near me shiver. It was said that it would probably be the last fight in their lives and that they should go thinking about never returning. But if they want to return, they have to use all their power to slay the enemy we have before us.

The report that we could see them get through my men faster than I thought it would be possible.

We reach a small elevation that gave us a higher view of what was before us. A red dragon was “sleeping” there with nearly 1000 things standing beside it. But the most surprising thing was the queen. She was sitting between two of the beast’s claws.

I know the dragon is a draconian but the way she is acting… Without fear. I look over the soldiers they have gathered here for this battle.

All of them are strange. I could see that theirs skin had a different shine in this distance. ‘It looks like they really are not human.’ I thought after looking for a few more minutes. The dragon didn't do anything, he was just looking at us with a uninterested gaze.

The thing I wanted the most was the Queen. She was so beautiful at that conversation… but if I could get the draconian as a slave… We could use him in battles and his blood don't lose to a dragon’s. If the books I had read were correct his blood would be more powerful. And the medicine would be more potent too! It is easier to absorbed because of the human part of their blood.

We just need to seal his mana. It will make him unable to use his magic and it will make him weaker! But we will need to use a big amount just to make him stop using magic... It will probably seal his form change as well.

"Father, what should we do?" I ask him. We had prepared a camp when we got to see the enemy army.

"The things they have as an army are strange. Some have dragon appearance and are humanoid. But they are too strange. Some of them have six arms!" (They are talking about the chaos knights, they have three pairs of arms.) My father was thinking with me and the generals of each unit. We had get here at the morning and until now we haven't found a solution.

"Why don't we send a few people to discuss with their Queen to see if we can take the dragon down?" One of the generals said.

"But what we do if he decides to go back to the draconian form before the battle? It will make the people go crazy... We need to discuss things with her..." My father says. "Nicolas, you're going with five of the best men we have and go there discuss the things with her. You're going with a white flag with a rose. It is the signal to a meeting."

I nod. I was expecting something like that but we had thought we should just strike before and it was discarded. But after seeing that they wasn't going to do the first movement and watching the dragon fall asleep we found that they was expecting us to do that thing.

It was noon and I was marching to the enemy camp. And when we got there two people were waiting for us. They were tall them me on a horse. They probably are 2,5 meters tall and with the dragon head and metal wings and tail... 'Metal? Is that an armor?' I thought to myself.

"Our Queen is waiting for you. She had already been alerted that you were coming. Please follow me to her presence." The right armor said. His mouth have moved and it revealed metal teeth! 'The armors weren't being operated by someone! This are the 'Mechatronic'? Are they some kind of ghost that inhabit armors and make them be able to walk?' I was thinking while we walked beside the walking armor. The wings and tail moved together like the one you would expect from an animal that had them.

We walked for five minutes in complete silence if you don’t take the sound the armors that passed us made while saluting the one beside us. We stopped a few meters before a sleeping dragon and a woman that was sitting in one of it’s paws as if it was a throne.

“I am the Queen of the Mechatronics, Lilith Marquez Valance. You may state your names and why you came here.” Her voice sounded clear like the sky. Without any interruptions or different pinches. I take a step forward after getting down of my horse.

“I am the Prince Nicolas Renoir Herold The Seventh and I came here under the flag to hold a meeting to discuss what we can do about the ‘dragon’ of yours.” I started to talk after a formal small bow. “All the documents we have in our castle have stated that a dragon will go in a rampage after some years if it is imprisoned against his own will.”

I looked at the yellow eyes of the queen. She was wearing a black sleeveless dress. In her white silver hair a gold pin with jewels was shining. And in her cleavage a blue crystal was shining. I was telling the story we were going to use to make it looks like the dragon was going to rampage… it is true that the things we had are old and all, but well… what can I say… It is true that they rampaged in the past when someone get to find a dragon egg.

“Does it look like he is going to rampage?” The queen scratch between the scales of the dragon and it open it’s eyes. A sapphire blue eye was looking at us, he than looked at the queen. “No, you can’t eat them. We need them to send a message to us.”

I shivered when I heard that he wanted to eat us… The men before me had almost get their weapon, but when she said he couldn’t eat they relaxed a little… I heard all of them let a heavy sigh.

“I’m sorry, Y’allaer wanted to taste you all, but he is a good boy and never disobeys me.” She looks at the beast eyes and I feel… love from that giant body. ‘I need to remember that he is a draconian! He can be in this form but he is more powerful than a dragon with the same ‘age’.’ I thought to myself while I see her stop her hands movements. “What kind of things you wanted to discuss with me? Do you want me to leave the area so you can kill my lil dragon?” Her eyes were cold and it looked like she was emitting some sparks.

“Your Highness, we wanted to kill this thing because if it goes on a rampage this place will be destroyed and nothing will be left. We don’t want to prevent that thing and we came here to ask you to leave us kill the beast without the need to our two ‘countries’ to engage in a war…” I say before the queen and the men near me nod. They had gotten down from their horses in some point. And now are helping me to ‘convince’ the queen to leave us alone with the thing.

She looks to the dragon with a different eye and I could see a faint smile appear in her face… It was when a thought appeared in my mind. ‘Does him plan to reveal that he is a draconian during the battle?!’

“Oh! Do you want to slay me?” A deep voice resounded in this area. It came from near the Queen. “I am the great Red Dragon and the pet of the Queen of the Mechatronics, who do you think you’re talking too? And do the weak humans think they can kill me?”

“My, my… I thought I had said to you not use the speaker!” The queen looked at the dragon with rage in her eyes but I could see a small smile in her face.

I look around and small hint of fear appeared at the faces of the people that was with me.

“If you want I can kill you all now!” The dragon says before attempting to get up, but he just attempted, because soon he looked at the woman in his paws before letting his body relax. “You were lucky.”

“I apologize by his words… He just doesn’t like humans. And we will not let you ‘kill’ my pet if you plan to continue this nonsense you may leave. We are going to be enemies at the next moment we see each other.” The queen says with cold eyes that looked like that they could freeze the air around her.

Without waiting anymore I bow to her and I go to my horse coming back to our camp. The other five men followed me.

Getting there I explain everything that happened in the presence of their Queen and boosted a little about her beauty… father had smacked my head when I said that and asked about the force of their strange soldiers.

“They look more like possessed armors than people. They all are metallic but some of them have skin and I think they are more powerful than our men here. And they are bigger than them as well. They have nearly 250 cm and some are bigger or smaller. But that is their medium height.” I finish my report. They sure looked more powerful than ours men but they lack the numbers to win.

“You said that some of them have wings and tails like a dragon… and I fear that they might have magic users with them.” Father and the generals start to discuss an idea pf how we should kill them while we deal with their dragon. “We will need to divide ours forces in two fronts. One to kill the dragon that will probably act alone or with the said Queen and the other to go and kill the men they have brought with them. Nicolas, do you know how much soldiers they had with them? From here I can say that they have nearly 1000.”

“That was the same number I managed to see there. We have advantages against them 20x1 but for the looks at the queen face we might have to use 10000 to battle the dragon and the other half to kill their army. So it will be 10x1. Probably we can win with the coordinated attacks we have been practicing.” I think while I gave them the details I had observed in the previous meeting.

“We're going to attack tomorrow at the dawn. For the looks of their army they don't plan to start it today. They are too relaxed.” My father says and we all salute and the generals leave going to give the orders that we would attack at morning. “Son, do you think we can win?” He asks me with a face that I had never seen.

“Probably, if we get to get them in a close fight while the archers maintain them in check with the arrows. But I think we are going to lose a good number just to kill the dragon and army. But we will not lose so miserably. And if we get to get the Queen as a prisoner we could win and domestic the dragon.” I say everything I had planned after seeing how they acted.

“So that is your thoughts…” Father closes his eyes for a few seconds and massages his temples. He opens his eyes and with a new light in his eyes he gives me a mission. “You will get 100 of the most powerful men here and will go try to capture the Queen. She is sure to go to battle with her loved dragon.” I salute to him and bow before going to select the men. I was leaving the tent when fathers voice reaches me. ”Be careful.” I chuckled and wave my hand without looking back.

“They aren't going to start it today?! I came here just to see them fight today!!! Now I have to wait!” I pout before sighing. “They aren't funny! I thought I could see how Lilith would battle!” I had just got a report that he had defeated a dwarf but I haven't seen the video.

“Well, let's just wait then. The show will be good! And I can't wait to tell Mi’rian that her great great grandchild is alive.” I chuckle remembering how she had been sad since her great grandchild have died. He had called him all kind of bad names and cursed his soul until she collapsed from exhaustion. It was just than that Mar’ran had come to get her. They sure are a cute couple.

And I heard that when Mi’rian awake she asked where was his body, but no one knew and she blew a mountain in rage cursing the woman that had made her cute grandchild die.
