Levi: "What have I done!!!"
The dragon, taking refuge in the crater, watched helplessly the scene before him.
He was wrong on all the line and wanted to make the macho like his father, finally as the image that he made in the head, his father being a proud and courageous dragon.
He didn't know that his father was protecting his family from succubus dragons which were blood dragons and butterfly dragons.
They were blood-drinking dragons, like vampires. Their origin is uncertain but probably a dragonet that was raised by succubi or a vampire to create an even stronger abomination.
Succubi being intelligent and cunning but physically weak.
Vampire dragons, calling themselves and masquerading as butterfly dragons or blood dragons, having the appearance of a red dragon in every way, but extremely cruel.
Most believed that they were simply angry red dragons. But Sanguinema had another, deeper secret. She was a princess and dreamed of overthrowing her "matron", the succubus queen.
But the origins of succubi and vampirism go back even further. To the origin of this destroyed world. Everyone believed that this land was a post-apocalyptic universe of a once flourishing world. But this world was not billions of years old like the earth.
It was an earth, yes, in every way similar, yes... but it was not the earth.
There were 2 moons, the original earth had a moon broken in two. This world was 10,000 years old. Not one more.
It was a paradox, a copy, a clone of the earth created by the magical energy of a portal that exploded and took a comet to crash into the moon, transformed for a brief moment into a portal and amber, a multi-dimensional glue grabbed many areas of the original world and brought here many different creatures, including all the dragon people who lived with the humans.
They knew about the cataclysm and built rockets and end-of-the-world arks, bunkers like Dharma, but what really worked was to make the moon collide with the destructive comet, dragging the dragons here into the destroyed world and scattering them across the world and the ages. All were alive, well, maybe. Some were still sleeping in hibernation under mountains of rubble, others had awakened and were searching for their kind.

The father of Ignar was one of these survivors sacrificed alive. Indeed, saboteurs wanted to exterminate them with the collision by making explode their shuttle of help but they survived here. Dantinne and the others do not know it but an expedition is in search of them, of their ancestors and their descendants but those of the expedition are also damaged by wars in which, the king Midas, ex Valiant is in the center.
But if the war seems medieval at first sight, it will quickly turn into a star war. Everything goes back to a planet very far from the earth and also in a distant future.
This planet is much closer to Earth B or "destroyed world". It is the object of covetousness between 3 faction living on nearby worlds.
They are in permanent war but have a semblance of peace with an emperor ruling over the 3 factions. These three factions are made up of the space barbarians, guided by the infamous Zergalor. The other faction, more civilized, is governed by the prince and emperor Krull and the reptilian Kobolds from the sand and the third faction, the horrible Dominatrix, a monster, a brain floating in a jar. The latter regulate and form the horrible space guild. They bend and deform space at will to allow, by means of financing, to move in space thanks to a substance that they harvest on the desert planet: Iberium or known as the space cristal drug.
And it is there that they make the war to get some. An expedition through portals by ignorance and by implication of demons and half-demons brought dragons to the planet. They were hired as mercenaries by the Mordos, under the orders of Dominatrix, and when Zergalor's Zergs won the battles, they were abandoned by the Mordos to the paws of the dreadful Zergalor.
But that's another story, but one of the generals, Tania, wants to get her paws on the surviving dragons. Not having a mean background, she causes calamity after calamity until she becomes one herself.
She was human and then became a Raptor and Dragoraptor, she became a 9-tailed fox demon...A destroyer of worlds...But the Mordos had recognized their mistake in getting rid of the dragons.
The raptor dragons, under the influence of the drug, could do as they did, open passages in the universe but also .... time! And so they captured one of the dragon raptors left to die in the burning desert.
They nursed her back to health and drugged her, and thus the vampire dragons were created. Soon, with their intelligence, strength and magic, they rose through the ranks of mordos society and became a faction in their own right, the Succubi being Mordos deformed by Space drug for generations.
Sanguinema had attempted a coup with a few friends including Bhaal, a male dragonid, particularly vicious. He disappeared into a world without a trace and the idol was only a statuette of him.
She was discovered and fled in a ship and crashed here, she was looking to rebuild an army and be able to leave this world and settle her accounts but without drug, no travel...
Levi witnessed the scene and the pact made between poor Dantinne and the monstrous dragon succubus. Tears flowed from his eyes and he realized how badly he had screwed up.
"Why did I do that!!!" He then decided to follow the dragons from a distance. To show up, meant to be executed...Everyone hated him... even his sweet mother...He then realized that he was alone in the world, surrounded by fish...
And the succubus seemed to him soulless, and, although she was beautiful and seductive, he had only hatred and resentment towards this evil creature. Moreover, he felt that her blood and his were from different worlds, but unlike that, the red dragons had a distant but familiar smell, as if they had a common ancestor. But he would soon discover the consequences of his actions...
Ships with flags showing a golden lion pawing the golden fleece stopped at the island to get water, fruit and meat. They came upon the village, populated by children and a few mothers. They were in good health but starving and the soldiers recognized the tribe of TIKI who had disappeared.
The humans were taken on board to be returned to civilization. The islands were ravaged by tsunamis and volcanism which had not calmed down. On the contrary. Direction: The Protectorate and the orphanage.
