I fell asleep, as if cradled in my nest and I sink into the darkness, in my cushion if my thickness is infinite, and I cross the boat, the water and the land and I find myself in space, floating, light and I land in huge hands / feet and I smiled like a baby, euphoric to be asleep. It was like an absurd dream, but I wasn't afraid.

Then I felt as if I was in one hand and another was stroking me.

the feeling of being caressed... mmm, I loved it.

I was like hypnotized then I felt a big tongue licking and massaging me, covering me with kisses without drooling. Then another head, another tongue and so on 5 heads and I heard purring.

The heads were giant and could each make a single bite of me, but I was comfortable, reassured and felt that this immense creature wanted me well and protected me.

Then I started sobbing and emptying all my sadness all the violence I was subjected to and everything that was taken from me, my mother, my family, my adoptive family, the beaks, my disease, my hellish beaks and everything.

Big tears saw me get wet and the massage and emotional rubbing warmed me up and I said, surprised by myself.

"Grandmother, don't leave me! I need your love"

Tiamat: "I am watching over you, my little one, My little heart!"

She rubbed me against her snout as a sign of infinite kindness and love more than maternal.

"Where that you are, I will not abandon you my pupuce, you are not alone and you will never be alone. I love you"

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

Then she sent energy into me and said to me: Emily, the dragon in you is suffering a lot.

Get to know him better. He is you and you are her. Also accept your dragon nature.

You are not an infernal machine, you are not a monster, you are and remain a unique being that is part of nature. You have the right to exist like men.

I know you were human but now you have to accept yourself, learn to love yourself you are pure and you are a queen. You are not corrupted by power and evil. You are blessed.

You are a dragon with a heart of gold, but that doesn't stop you from loving and being loved. And just because you're a dragon now doesn't mean you're no longer human. Study your grimoire and you can become human again and lead your life as you see fit."

"Grandmother, Mom, why is she so mean to me?"

Tiamat : "I don't know, I've tried everything but she doesn't accept that I'm here! Stuck in the abyss. I conspired, I fought, I murdered and wounded many people and creatures in my youth and after having had too many enemies, I made mistakes and I paid for it.

Your mommy's crazy! Her grief has blinded her and her propensity to strike first and think afterwards is second nature to her.

Nothing she says as a rule is true. She is the victim of her own disillusionment and she blames all of humanity for my disappearance, which is actually my own fault. My weapons turned against me thousands of years ago and I am just an astral projection, my body in eternal hibernation."

I said, "And if we let you go, will you be nice?"

Tiamat: "I had all eternity to calm down and consider my ambitions as futile. It is also time for me to evolve and help my descendants as I do with you."

"Grandmother, you are my last family..."

Tiamat: "I'm glad to hear you say it. "

"Why are my brother and sister so mean, that they wanted to eat me?

Why don't I have a nice little dragon brother with whom I could have adventures and cuddle?

Why did my little sister bite me like that? If mother hadn't treated me, I would have had a horrible tear and maybe I would have died."

Tiamat: "You are too sweet. Dragons and reptiles are animals when they are born and they acquire their intelligence and wisdom as they age, but no one knows why. But don't worry, they're not all like them. I'm sorry you have to go through such a tragedy, Emily."

Me: "Grandmother, I'm unhappy and I'm too tall to have a husband..."

Tiamat: "Don't despair. There is a beautiful blue-white furry dragon who is very nice and alone too. He prays to me from time to time because he lives hidden from men in the mountains and in the eternal snow. He's a Furrier and his name is Falcor. He's very handsome too and he's never eaten humans before."

In America, Quetzatcoatl, the feathered dragon bird, also sleeps. He's very sweet too, but he's locked in a cave. There are others and you have eternity to find them and meet them..."

"Thank you, Grandmother!"

Then Tiamat threw me into the air like a bird that was being released and I went to my nest with a smile on my face.

"I loved grandmother," I thought to myself when I woke up

Then, following his recommendations, I set about studying the spells in the grimoire.

The trip at once seemed too short!
