Somewhere at the bottom of a Khmer temple abandoned for centuries, a vicious and devious creature was blustering at a bright round stone.

"Grah. Mother, why did you do this to me?

I did everything for you and followed you to the letter. Because of you I lost Ruby, Azur and Ochria and about ten children of blood.

Dead and slaughtered before my eyes by Ruby. What did I do to her to deserve this?"

A weak voice replied: "You lost them yourself and I stopped you from killing them!"

Rudia then began to break everything and went into a higher rage.

"It's because of Ruby! Too bad for her! I'm going to save Azur and Ochria. And you, Ruby, prepare to suffer my wrath. You'll see what it costs to make me angry!"

The voice in the sphere begged the dragonnes to reflect and reverse her decision.

In vain.

Then Rudia screamed, "And then you! Stay where you are, in hell! It's over! It's over! My whole life has been devoted to saving you.!!!!

Now I'm going to take your place! I'm going to turn into a Hydra and as Ruby is a scientist, she's going to have some monster to study. I promise you that"

"Noon doesn't do that! You'll be sorry! My little Rudia, I love you, be reasonable..."

"Goodbye, mother."

And she smashed the globe with both her fists.

It was pulverized.

In the deep jungle, hundreds of birds flew away due to the murderous pressure, anger and roar of a transcendental monster.

While I was resting, I fell into a deep sleep and a soft and reassuring voice rocked me. I fell again into the abyss and soon my fall was cushioned by 2 large clawed hands and a pleasant humming sound.

I licked the thumb of the creature that cradled me and I knew it was grandmother just in the sweet and benevolent atmosphere of a protective dragon.

"Mmm, grandma..." I said, half conscious.

"I love it when you pamper me... I miss it so much. I need hugs so much, tenderness, to know that I am loved..."

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

I received a big lick that made me shiver and I grabbed her huge snout against which I rubbed my cheek and returned the affection she gave me.

I did the same with the five heads but I didn't have enough arms to hold on to them all at the same time.

Then, as my consciousness woke up a little more, I realized the vertiginous size of the hydra that my grandmother was. She stroked my spines like a comb in my hair and it was a very pleasant touch.

"My little one, I must warn you. Rudia's out of control. She's angry with me because I defended you. She dropped everything and abandoned me. She wants to take her anger out on you, get Azur and Ochria back and slaughter everything from whoever is in her way and worse, she foments a bad blow against you.

Be careful, sweetheart. She's capable of killing you to "save" the other two when you had nothing to do with it!

She's planning to replace me. It's very dangerous for you and your human family. We must warn them! "

"It's nice for them, Grandma. Now I'm no longer afraid to work to help you. I know you won't hurt them."

"Wake up !!, I feel danger coming while you're sleeping."

Grandma threw me into the air like a little bird and I found myself in a corner between rocks in the shade of Eucalyptus.

I heard a handbrake and several men coming out of a pickup truck.

Shit, I was stuck! They were coming right at me!..

There were five of them and they were looking for poachers. They must have seen the smoke from my fire and a wild boar roasting very slowly while I was taking a nap.

Cast : Shield!

They saw a trail on the sand and stones. It must have been the trail of my tail.

Their leader waved around to take the "poachers" in reverse.

It's true, I was simply an animal here!

The chief jumped in front of me and shouted "Hands up!",

thinking he was dealing with bandits but he peed himself when he saw me with my wings, my teeth and my giant claws. I was 20 meters long and they were obviously unaware of my existence.

He shook his head and dropped his gun crying because He was right in front of my jaw and waiting for the fateful moment that didn't come.

The others made a noise to get my attention. But I was just looking at them. And I passed by the man and walked towards my roasted pig. I turned it so that the undercooked part would face the fire.

The other 2 colleagues pulled their boss out to the car and moved away at a reasonable distance to better observe me.

One of them took a camera and I remembered the order's recommendations well: Avoid all forms of violence at all costs.

Even to defend myself, to hurt or kill is unfair. I can only defend myself by avoiding any disproportionate force. It was clear! And the condition for me to keep my freedom.

Seeing that I was not aggressive, they stayed to take pictures and called colleagues. Probably reserve officials.

My pig was obviously in good shape and I took the pig in the fire and started eating it. It tasted good, but obviously the pig was disgusting to these people.

Then I got up and they were surprised to see that I was wearing a loincloth.

One of them waved at me and tried to be pitiful, hula hula hula dragon? dragon?

I answered "YES! " in English.

Officer "Dragon, do you understand us?" (in Arabic)

I said, "Yes! Perfectly!" in English.

Officer: "Aren't you going to eat us?"

"I don't eat humans..."

Officer: "What are you doing here?"

Me: "I'm just passing through, I'm going to New Guinea! I was tired and hid here. But there are humans everywhere."

Officer: "Are you real? You're not a ghost? Can we touch you?"

Me: "Yes, if you don't hurt me"

The men touched me and found that I was real.

They were given instructions by phone and then I told them.

"I'm going to go back, but if I'm left alone here, I'll come back here and go back to Europe."

Officer: "We have to capture you as we were told, but I don't think that's possible."

I: "Indeed. And shooting me won't do any good. Get your elephant gun! "

The man went into the jeep and took a big gun with darts and did not put an explosive bullet in it. I could see that he was a friend of nature.

"Go ahead, shoot and I promise I won't hurt you."

He aimed at my thigh and pulled.

The dart crashed like butter on my shield.

Then a military helicopter arrived with reinforcements but the chief signaled to land and the helicopter landed between the trees. Their leader was amazed. A dragon that appears on a reserve. To avoid wasting time I send them my biometric data on WhatsApp.

Then I would go with them with them to drink and cool off at the river.

I was asked why I wouldn't move here?

I replied that my family was in Europe but that other dragons existed and were cruel man-eaters. My mission was to save people from their claws, because only I was able to feel and detect them.

After having warned Luc by phone of the danger, I took leave of the rangers and promised to come back one day and tell them my stories or simply to spend a family vacation on a welcoming reserve. With that, I flew to India.
