Levi was following the evil dragon underwater, disguised as an ultra fast shark, allowing him to follow the flight.
He always knew the position of the beings around him, a trait of the sea dragons.
Then, he felt that she was approaching an island, not so far from Ignar's area.
He got out of the water and followed like a migratory bird, from a distance so as not to be surprised.
Contrary to all expectations, Sanguinema had not spotted the dragon stalker.
Her real mission was a failure and she didn't know what to do, stuck here for years. And Ignar and his family were a godsend to her.
Like a gecko, Levi climbed into the cave, which was a pile of rocks stacked on top of each other, like a shed, and inside was an iron machine...with wings folded like a bird but hollow and with lots of lights and magic tablets.
Levi had no idea what it was but he listened and watched the dragoness, too preoccupied with trying to fix her ship.
It had taken her years to build tools and machines of all kinds, aided by an AI, a humanoid form clad in a beige veil, floating on a luminous disk.
It looked like a genie out of a box. But poor Levi, who had never known the old world, had no idea what it was. But it was a holographic projection.
But for Levi, it was a genie... Or a demon from the underworld.
Succubus: "Draconic guide... the radio would work if I used a micro teleportation.
I managed to immobilize a family of dragons. They can replace the runaways who disappeared...?"
The AI was thinking, and immediately, like a Mentat, a being gifted with artificial intelligence, confirmed that this was a good idea and would allow a favorable outcome to continue the experiments.
But Sanguinema began to have doubts. She had doubts about the history of the queen of dragons and also about her origins.
Levi went to give her information (to his mum!!).
Arrived near the coasts, he moaned after his mother who approached him. The coldest welcome he had ever known.
Panthalassa : "You come back already?"
"Yes! It's horrible! I saw a demon! A demon!!! he was floating on a luminous disk and he was in... an iron box with luminous plates.
Dantinne arrived, attracted by the commotion.
"So, big Suchi... What did you see?" (Dantinne was looking at Levi with envious eyes, not for love, but as a super snack)
He drew the shape of the iron bird on the sand and .
Dantinne: "It's not true!... It is a spaceship! It comes from the stars and if it can communicate, it will have reinforcements! ...
Levi, what you saw, it is a very sophisticated machine and the demon... it is a golem...
Describe it to me!
"A civilization, a dragon queen, experiments and space drug..."
Levi: "I don't know more but I heard that she had to open a temporary passage to send a message."
Dantinne: "We are alternate targets. "
Then she turned to Ignar. "She's been playing you pretty good with her idol and Bhaal.!!!!"
Panthalassa: "The only demon Lord known is named George... His kingdom is in the heart of the Orc and goblin peoples and he is rumored to be draconic... but to get close would be suicide.
Dantinne:" WHAT???? What is his name??? GEORGE???? you said???"

Panthalassa: "Yes... That's it... I'm sure!"
Dantinne began to think, her long thumb under her jaw, an old human reflex from before her reincarnation..
Dantinne: "But that's a Christian name!... "
All the dragons turned to Dantinne. :"???? Christian... what is it?"
Dantinne: "Forget it. But if it's what I think... he could be an ally for us. I would like to talk to him..."
Dantinne didn't show it, but she began to dream of a strong, handsome dragon as a demon lord.!!!! It didn't make any sense, but if he was a Christian... maybe there was a chance he wasn't a bully... or so she hoped."
Then her gaze fell back on Levi. A stern, reproachful look.
"YOU! You're going back to spy on her. We'll join you and destroy the antenna and see what we can do with this ship.
Sanguine and Ruby: "How do you know what it is and how will you do it?"
"I have my secrets too. "
And she turned her head to Levi who squealed in fear behind Panthalassa.
IGNAR: ROAAR!
And like a well-trained dolphin, Levi jumped into the sea in case Ignar changed his mood.
The four dragons followed him and they landed near the rocks.
Levi turned back into a gecko and Dantinne suddenly felt like a grilled lizard.
But Ignar turned around and signaled not to make any noise.
Levi entered through the cracks and the succubus had just finished her preparations.
She took a small box with a seal and swallowed the substance. It was the last dose.
Then her eyes turned white and lightning flashed from her eyes and she looked up at a concave area, filled with polished and crushed shields, hammered into a kind of satellite antenna.
Unfortunately for Levi, it was in the back of the parabola, out of sight, and the structure suddenly became black as space.
Everything that was there disappeared.
Dantinne saw and understood the horror of what was happening.
The dragoness had made a hole in space and was going to emit from space into deep space.
The problem was that Levi had to be in space now or in orbit.
His fate was sealed.
The dragon would withstand the space radiation, the cold and the vacuum and the lack of oxygen but not the hunger and above all the thirst. A horrible death awaited Levi.
Dantinne understood and tears fell immediately. Panthalassa understood that her son had disappeared.
Sanguinema: "Executrix, mission report. Fugitives not found but have secured replacement dragon family. Red species."
Dantinne charged with Ignar toward the hangar area with the transmitter. "We must destroy the microphone and not fall into the black hole..."
But a message arrived before the 4 dragons could trash the transmitter.
"Roger that! A fleet is coming now! We're coming for you! The Mordos are proud of you...!"
The succubus dragoness was surprised that it wasn't the queen.
She dropped the microphone in shock...
Everything, everything she had been told was a lie.
She could see in slow motion the dragons pushing the equipment and Ignar's tail coming at her head to smash it.
She did not react, frozen...
Then it was shock and darkness.
The dragons then wanted to demolish the ship but Dantinne stopped them.
"NO! We may need it!"
Ignar: What do we do with this one? I want to eat it...
I (Dantinne) saw chains and the dragoness was tied to a stone, a huge log between her jaws, revealing her horrible canines made for sucking blood.
And... I too, my teeth were getting abnormally long.
Panthalassa screamed: "LEVI!!! My little one! LEVIIIII"
I reached over and stroked the grieving dragoness.
"I am sorry for Levi... I liked him but... I was angry. I never wanted him to die!"
Ignar and we left the poor mother alone to mourn her son.
In the meantime, the hole had disappeared.
The dragoness woke up and began to flinch and whimper. But the bonds were strong and I found tools in the workshop. Pliers, like pliers.
There was a bar of iron and I heated it to white and infused destructive mana into it.
Then I approached the head of the dragoness.
"MONSTER!"
But, against all odds, I thought I saw it resisting, mocking and taunting us that it was only a matter of time before they came to capture us.
I brandished the sharp red iron toward her mouth.
"Shall I burn your tongue, your eyes... your snout or pull out your viper teeth?"
Sanguinema: "MPPPH! MPPHH!"
Ah, yes, you don't know how to speak anymore... It must be your teeth too long...
Then, Ignar stopped my gesture, showing me that she had urinated on herself and that she was crying.
Ignar: "I know when you're really crying... let's let her talk..."
"You don't know what she did to me!"
Ruby removed the log, Ignar clutched it to her throat, ready to slit her throat at the slightest threat.
"You viper... What have you done!"
Sanguinema: "IIII IIII IIIIIII IIIIIIII" terrorized...
I brought the firebrand closer to her eye...
"Please...I.... I have been lied to...I am an aberration.... A worthless copy..... A piece of shit...."
I then lowered the glowing bar.
"Monster! You're going to give me back what you took from me!..."
Succubus: "Hypnosis... this is hypnosis... I didn't take anything from you... I didn't have the powers but only the illusion.... I don't have magic....I never had magic.... It was the AI that taught me how to do illusions with a transmitter and a projector... I... I'm just a liar....a con artist..."
Me: "And blood and devouring souls...?"
Succubus: "Comedy... I was born like that... We came out of a honeycomb.. A glass tube in a hive with a queen and I'm just a servant, a soldier... But... it was all lies. I've been brainwashed... It's, it's..Executrix that guided me. And... I had doubts but the answer proved me wrong. I let myself go... I didn't fight it. I surrender...
But I don't want to die..."
Me "Your teeth!??"
"I found out that ... I have to die. We are incomplete copies to assimilate the drugs...to travel through space but dragons can also travel further and through time and break through the continuum to other universes, other dimensions. ...And with the space drug, instead of trying to leave, I focused on surviving over the other "bees" in the hive and my teeth grew and..I discovered that by sucking blood, I was no longer weakening and healing. I could live!.."
Then, Panthalassa wanted to rush to the chained dragoness.
"GIVE ME BACK MY SON! Otherwise I will eat you alive!"
Ignar held back the sea-dragon.
I sighed and saw that my growing teeth were only a suggestion, a hypnosis, and when confronted with the truth, everything disappeared...
Simple, stupid, but effective!
The succubus was crying: "I have no more drug... I don't know how to open the portal... Sorry....Pardon Levi."
The dragoness had to be chained outside as well, Ruby beside her to calm and comfort her. Sanguine too understood the pain.
Then I turned to the AI but no reaction. He was ignoring me.
"Succubus!... I know what a spaceship is, I know electronics and how to fix the components. And I know what an AI is. So no surprise...I'll give you a chance but watch out..Dad's got an egg to peel with you. It's because I know what being under the influence is, that I can understand your situation."
Sanguinema: "How?"
Me: "This is not the time...Activate the AI and do a search for the coordinates where the message was sent."
Sanguinéma: "Do you want to launch the ship? "
