I am deeply disturbed by this dragon life and frankly, I feel like an electrician in the kingdom of pocahontas. They would like me to devour instead of eating, to swallow my prey like a snake whole and raw! Breath is for parade or fight and we must save it.

Easy to say when you're a rechargeable battery, eh Falkor!

Then Auberone and the others are Falkor this, Falkor that and he's really starting to get on my nerves with that big macho Falkor.

It's almost like I'm stuck with "Grandma" because I have to learn from her. But something's wrong, and I'm not a red dragon for nothing. You have excellent intuition, and it's always right.

I'm lost in my thoughts and again in HIS lair. But I want my home!

Metanovae: "Vermi, do you doubt me?? Do you think I'm not nice enough for you? Come here, I'll give you a massage!"

Me, sharply: "NO thanks! I'm hungry and I'm going for a walk!"

I went out and I saw Meta sad. I went alone to a corner and I took out my grimoire and I looked for a spell: Reading in thoughts: spell of clairvoyance. It is possible to cast a reverse spell and it blocks the reading of the reader's thoughts but allows the reader's thoughts to be read.

I then practise memorizing this spell and I meditate on it all day long until it is engraved in my brain. And I also memorize at the same time a spell of illusion and a spell of invisibility for me and for someone else. You never know.

Then in the afternoon I went hunting and Metanovae was gone too.

Falkor was with Fuchur and Aqua and Auberone was hunting too.

We picked deer and I cooked it MY way. I will never eat something whole, not gutted and raw! Beuargh!

manacom! driiing!

"Yeah? Who's that?"

Mandrake: "Are you at Helgen's checkpoint?"

"You can see where I am with the manacom. I know you're standing in front of your crystal ball and you see me waving at you, don't you?"

"That's right! Zanzar has trained you well. Anything new?"

"I'm staying with a family of dragons, but they're savages! How I'd love to go back to the academy or the forge with my human family... I miss you! I miss my friends and my classes too. "Say, Mandrake, a dragon reads my mind and it disturbs me."

"Use Reverse Clairvoyance!"

Me, "It's a dragon with butterfly wings."

"Watch out, she's a nymph dragon! She charms and pumps the life force of her lover and they are perverts. They're the Dragon versions of nymphs. She certainly has an infernal lover and she plots and calculates how to get rid of you. Flee! Before she sows doubt and poison in your thoughts."

"Thank you, mandrake. Anything new on your end?"

Mandrake: "Dragon hunters are around and someone's informing them and it's not normal. And we saw in the corner Ignar. Watch your back!"

"Thank you Master, I still love you!"

clap.

FEAR

I'm SCARED!

Ignar, the Dark Wizard, the hunters, Falkor and MetaNovae! Now all that's missing is Duncan!

Clear my mind, I must clear my mind!

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Right, I throw on me Reverse Clairvoyance and I go back near Metanovae. and I pretend to have a big headache.

Meta novae, come here, I'll give you a hug!"

"Another time Meta, I'm tired and I've got a headache from studying and I'm exhausted. I'm gonna try to get some sleep if you don't mind.

Here, I brought you a fresh suede. But you just got home?

Then I felt Meta's tremendous pressure on my mind. She was trying to get in but I was concentrating on my pain bar and that damn headache and her mind opened up to me:

"That little pest of Vermithrax! I was gonna finish off that macho little prick Falkor! If he knew the eggs weren't his. I'd like to see his face especially when My dear cruel Ignar makes me come!. He can't get his paw! Him with his bullshit rules and loyalty. He had to bring in those guys to thwart my plans...TSSSS.

And that Vermi, if she knew that these eggs are her half sisters and that I'm going to boiled them to Ignar in front of Falkor who thinks they're his...Ahh Ignar, see you tomorrow afternoon! and Fuchur, you will be my first victim and tomorrow afternoon the hunters will take care of you Falkor and as soon as Fuchur freezes an egg you will kill him and Aqua and then I will take care of you personally and I will offer you and your sister to your father Ignar who is going to beat the shit out of you and your sister..."

End of spell: I cast the spell again and then I'll go find a lair...

"Yes, that's it! Get a den while you can, you're on the hook!".

Yes, the range is 30 feet!

What a monster! I started crying and I have to find the others now.

I'm casting an illusion of myself sleeping on a rock in the sun as I like to do and I'm looking for Falkor and Fuchur!

The river, they are water dragons!

I saw Falkor and the other two and I ran...

I jumped on Falkor, obviously surprised.

"Falkor! My Falkor, are you all right?"

"YOUR Falkor"?, amused...

"I must speak to you urgently, especially you, Falkor."

Falkor, please listen to me. You're in grave danger. Are you tired lately?

"Yes, I'm tired. What's the matter?"

"I started crying and hugging him, poor Falkor, if you only knew."

Worried, he wanted to run to Metanovae. "Wait, no. Don't."

"Listen to me, Falkor! Everything I'm about to tell you, you won't believe it, and you mustn't even know it, because you have an enemy that reads your mind. And if I tell you what it is, he will know and he will hide. Do not speak about it to anybody and especially not to Meta. It would be dangerous for the eggs.

You know I'm a bit of a magician, don't you?

Tomorrow, you pretend nothing's wrong and I'm going to cast two spells: an invisibility spell so you can see without being seen and a reverse clairvoyance spell so no one will know you're protected.

If you don't listen to me, tomorrow you'll die! Dragon hunters are looking for you and they know where you are! I am begging you."

I kneel down on my knees.

- "I know that you are in love with me as much as with Meta and I have feelings for you too, but I am too young. We need to get to know each other a little better."

"How do you know all this?" he doubted.

"I have my sources and I know how to make animals talk to tell me what they've seen.

Tomorrow we'll go hunting together! And tonight come and visit our 'lair'."

Of course it's a phony hole with a spell of illusion.

He fell for it. Naive as he is!

He had the spell of clairvoyance reversed and Meta tried to probe him but there was such a mess that getting within ten meters was impossible.

We only slept with one eye open that night, but after a sleepless morning, we told Méta that we would go hunting near the Rivebois bridge, the Valtheim tower-bridges, and that we would be able to get a good night's sleep.

I cast a shield spell on Falkor and asked the others to go hunting with us and let Meta rest.

Then I cast an invisibility spell on Falkor and I and before that I said not to follow us. I begged them, there is a trap and please don't go to Falkor's lair.

I tell them except Falkor that Ignar was nearby and that we should hide. Have them go to the mountain to the Dwemer ruins as I planned before.

We went up to the towers invisibly, and we hid.

To Falkor's surprise, a hundred soldiers and hunters with dragon gear were set up at the towers and there were balistes pointing up and down and very fine wire, a runic net stretched under the bridge and ballista on the cliffs to force a dragon to run away from under the bridge.

"How did they know we were coming here? You warned them, didn't you?"

"Falkor, shut up and be quiet! Be more careful. You're a big macho and you don't see what's going on around you. But I don't know how to tell you, but you'll have to be strong!

Leave them and listen."

The leader of the dragon slayers was a guy I trained and I know his name. Molnir. He's from here. I'd throw a rock and lure Molnir further than his men.

Out of sight, I whispered: "Molnir, it's me, I want to talk to you! It's Vermithraxa, your friend!"

Falkor was furious, but he kept his mouth shut...

"Vermi? What are you doing here? We're on the hunt, as you can see, and if they see us together I'll have to attack you."

"Listen, Molnir, I know you have an informer and I know who it is, but I want to help you and I know you have a problem. I see it and I feel it. Tell me about it. "

"She's got my daughter! My daughter's hostage. She's in a hole she's brooding in and if we don't kill the other dragon she's giving us, she'll eat my baby. Have you seen her? Have you seen her?? Do you know where she is?

Molnir, I'll do everything to save your child. But don't kill the dragon eggs. I know where the King's slayer is, Ignar!

Your informant is going to see Ignar this afternoon and the Falkor you're to capture may be your ally. Here's my plan... Do I have your word?

"Yes, sister!"
