Arnold screamed. "ARRRRGH" then panicked, as the smoke cleared, terror overtook him...

On the other side of the magnetic circle, Vermithrax was terrified and she threw herself at Arnold who was thrown off balance..

"Arnold! Arnold!" with his draconic accent and his R's twisted by his dragoness mouth..

"They're gone!!! What are we going to do??? daddy is going to kill us!!! mommy?? aunt Tiamat?"

Arnold: "We don't touch anything! Only daddy can do something!"

They ran outside, not wanting to use the shuttle... panicked...

Arnold climbed on Vermithrax's back. "Can you fly? You'll go faster without me!"

Vermithrax: "No! I'm afraid... with you we will be two."

Arnolc laid his cheek against his sister... "I love you, Vermi... I am also afraid to lose you".

While stealing "Me too, Arnold...there's not a moment I regret being mean to you in the beginning...but with your Tyrant powers...you could bring them back...right?"

Arnold: "No, I have no control over anything and I'm afraid... Tiamat must teach me. I am afraid of the demons and Tyrant taking my place... She explained me the danger... and then, if we bring something else???"

Vermithrax: "We could beg grandma? right? She is nice to us..."

Arnold: "Yes, but she sucks so bad...she might get mad at us... "

Vermi: "I'm scared, Arnold..."

"Me too."

The dragoness came into sight of the village and landed in the main square, the passers-by moving aside, used to dragons and considering them as masters, even if no rule stipulated it.

By instinct, humans, elves and other gnomes had the fear of the dragon ingrained in their minds.

But this time they were screaming and calling for help. A tragedy had probably occurred. It was not like usual.

I was with my wives and ready to enjoy a deer stuffed with spices and honey similar to my recipe for stuffed gnome.

Kate: "My big sweetheart... try this recipe, I try to balance the taste, but it's not easy, I never knew how to eat humanoids... it disgusts me..."

Darkia laughed at the comparison... "If you knew how many idiots have passed through my stomach..nothing compared to the screams that go down your throat when you swallow them and they meet the gastric juices...

Kate: "Stop it, I'll throw up my soup! You've already forced me to eat live prey..."

Darkia: "But you complain, but you're the first one to blow up her boyfriend with an egg. It's like saying come see your baby in the stroller, honey, a bar of TNT in the C.l."

Tiamat laughed... "Even I, an arch-demon, didn't do something like that... The demons would have seen the trick quickly but Hans... too naive... Yes... a good training session with demodragon... you would have had more lead in your brain.

kate: "You can talk, Tiamat, you got gold instead of lead..."

Tiamat: "At least it was worthy of an archduchess".

Me: "Well, that's all you three! I have to judge if it's a good recipe, right?

Then the door flew in burst and Vermitrax collapsed out of breath

"DADDY!!! help!! the ... Others.... Louise, Glaçias,...Vermillion, they are ...they are gone!!! "

I sat up suddenly, surprised.

Without getting angry.

"Where are they?"

I resumed my human form...and took Arnold in my arms...

"Where are they?"

Arnold: "In the ship... there was an accident... quick... help!!"

"Calm down. Everybody give me your hand/paw"

And I closed my eyes, thanked mother and we collapsed into the darkness.

A labyrinth stood before us and I walked to the room showing the ship and we all entered it...

Tiamat was impressed, as were Kate and Darkia, with my mastery.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

We arrived in front of the desk.

"You didn't touch anything?"

"No, Daddy! I was scared and afraid to do anything bad."

"You did very well. You will resume your position in the room and tell me about it!"

Arnold:" the lever...it's down. it wasn't like that.... It must have been Vermillion who hit it with his tail when the raptors came rushing in. They left with...

They didn't disintegrate, did they, Dad? You're going to bring them back, right?"

The dragoness was crying her eyes out and moaning into her mama's paws. So was Arnold.

I looked at the seers and Darkia helped me. Tiamat had more experience.

"This is an interdimensional teleporter... I have the same type of device on my old ship."

She looked at the values and made some calculations.

"They didn't arrive in a vacuum or in a star.... they are at another teleporter.... the ship didn't use superpowered energy like to travel through time or other dimensions.. they are somewhere else but in the galaxy..."

She lowered her head... "I'm sorry, Hans..."

I was frightened and this time I started to cry with all my body. Before I knew where they were... at the Ummites... but this time we didn't know...

Darkia: "Maybe there are some coordinates in the cache?

"Darkia... we're at the end of time... and I don't have all these instruments anymore... I don't know everything... I wouldn't know."

Darkia "But on the Bucephalus, we would know how to scan the Ummite computer and decode it.."

"It will take a plummet to decipher...and the computer will only respond to Ummites and...we are at war."

Arnold spoke up... "What if I made myself a Tyrant? Maybe the computer would respond.

You're a brave man, Arnold... then I looked at Tiamat: "Take care of him, don't let anything happen to him... if anything happens to them, I'll blow up the whole place and myself with it!

The threat was not to be taken lightly...

Darkia : "And our egg...?? would you leave us??"

"Sorry, Darkia, I spoke like that... but I'm tired...I'm sorry..You're right" and I hugged her. "Sorry.."

Darkia: "We'll do everything we can to find them..." then our gaze turned to Arnold who was concentrating, Tiamat behind him, and whispering comforting words to him and helping him focus his power.

Tiamat: "Visualize yourself as a Tyrant in appearance and size, but keep the focus of who you are. You are and will remain Hans and Kate's child. Tyrant is only a role, like in a board game. Now tell yourself that you are Tyrant and that his power is part of you.

The next moment, I felt a chill and my worst enemy was in front of me.

But I had to keep my cool.

"Arnold... I hate it when you do that... I want to slaughter you... but you know I won't."

The warning had the benefit of clarity.

His cloak, fluttering, disgusting horned helmet, on his head and those horrible tattoos on his face twisted the beautiful image I had of my son but I had to restrain myself.

Tiamat: "Now focus on the interface and command it to reveal the final coordinates to you."

Arnold trembled and, gathering his courage, he placed his hand on the interface made into a negative cast of a human hand... Tyrant's hand.

A robotic voice in Ummite came out of the computer but was translated by later additions.

Immediately, a ship appeared on the screen. It was unknown and unidentified.

According to the coordinates, it was moving away, but on the screen we could see that it was accompanied by a support fleet. It was heading towards the Ummite Empire.

Tiamat: "It's a destroyer accompanied by cruisers. It looks like Electrons...from their signature. This does not bode well..."

I turned to Darkia: "The Bucéphalus...?"

Darkia lowered her head... "I'm sorry...but I can order a scan."

And a few moments later, an image was sent [https://img.wattpad.com/679191168278ebacf45c3ca766f6cb6ef5948e07/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f636f4962544b6968527a707835673d3d2d313238353233323432322e313732363433383530656338383261353937373633393032303336362e676966?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]

And a few moments later, an image was sent...

Darkia: "We have a trace of a celestial sword...It's as powerful as the Repressor. The Bucéphalus could destroy it without any problem but not the support fleet...but I could send them a message?"

I didn't know what to do... I didn't know what to do...call...and bring them here...the electrons...I'm too weak...I could never fight and they will destroy the earth for sure.

Kate begging: "DArkia. what do you think? and you, Tiamat? huh?? "

Tiamat thought: "They have our children... they will interrogate them and torture them... if not in progress... and they will know they are from here.

Not calling them would be undignified and considered cowardly but sooner or later we'll have to face them, I'm sorry Hans, but given your situation, it's not fair but it's hopeless."

Kate: "What if we run away... "then she changed her mind, remembering that they had Vermillion, Glacias and Louise...

I made the decision. "Darkia, send a distress message! We surrender without conditions..."

Tiamat: "You don't have that right.. Hans... you are blinded again... humans and elves must decide this not counting Enka.."

An update was made with Bello and Sarah, the chancellor, via screen.

"Sarah, we need to make a decision quickly, our communication window is small.."

"Hans... we need to talk and negotiate....As long as we're talking, we're not banging each other.." the chancellor explained.. You want me to talk to them?... I think it's better... you might irritate them.

Somewhere, in the heart of the Ummite Empire, the Midway was making its way with the famous "Space Warriors" on board.

Suddenly, a message appeared in draconian on the main screen.

A raptor officer was making the call.

"Prince... we are receiving a distress call from a great distance but the signal is strong.

"this is SARAH, I am the chancellor representing the survivors from earth. According to our calculations a teleportation accident has occurred and we are looking for the survivors. This is a distress call. We are trying to locate the children. Whoever you are, if you have received this message, please let us know if you have any news and at least tell us if they are safe.

Alice: "I have located the message and the source: a 100 km destroyer of unknown class. Solar system confirmed. Probably the earth of this dimension. I have the coordinates. What should I do Nicolas?"

The AI, a friend and ally of the dragon for years, could keep her familiarity with Nicholas. She was part of his inner circle. A real big sister for him.

Nicolas :" At least loving parents... they had the courage or the idiocy to reveal their coordinates."

Operator Raptor: "Shall I send an outpost, a probe?

The dragon was unmoved. "Our objectives first. Never keep Father waiting!"

The dragon shared the madness and stubbornness of the one he considered his father... the three-headed monster, the devourer.

Nicolas: "Send the message that they are safe here and are being treated well..."

For her part, Darkia received the message and the news.

The dark look. They are safe and well treated but they know where we are now.

But none of the ships had changed course.

Tiamat: "Hans. You have to rest now. You have to gain strength, even a little..."

But in her heart she knew it was no use. Hans would have to hibernate and he had no choice. It was only a matter of days before he collapsed.
