David requested a meeting with the mayor regarding the city and the huge dragon seen from time to time over the city.

They were invited to a lunch at the marina.

"Dear David, how are you? Good morning Madam.

But I don't see Rosette or Sylvia... One gets used to it quickly."

Taking a homemade cocktail of pressed kiwi fruit and sugar cane rum, David showed papers with plans and ambitions for the marina.

David: "I think Rosette and Sylvia are in town with Dany. They were going to the bank to open an account for her."

The mayor was already smiling and imagined Sylvia with her head stuck in the opening of the bank's door.

But when the cocktail was served, the mind relaxed.

Meanwhile, I was dragging in the street and blocking the sidewalk, my head in the window of the exchange office.

Mom was inside representing me. It was stupid but it was the law. I had to be physically present to exchange gold for currency and explain where I got the gold from.

Stockbroker: "Ooh, what a beautiful nugget! This gold is first choice".

After inspection. "There are no impurities. How is that possible?"

Me: "I was given it, another dragon, the giant...and he knows how to refine gold. It's alchemy, but I don't know anything about it. I'm too young".

"That's a coquettish sum. I guess it's to put it in the account... I don't have enough cash here and it's not allowed."

Rosette: "How much is it?"

Agent: "About $900,000. You're off to a great start in life, miss! (he laughed as he looked at the dragon he had called a lady).

We signed the documents and I went back to the market. I was like a bus going through the crowd at a walking pace. I was very careful.

We ordered boxes of fruit and toys to be delivered to the marina.

I felt better and less tired by staying in my dragon form. David was right.

Then we went home and Mom had sore feet and she straddled my back.

I stayed on my feet and from time to time the passers-by and tourists made selfies.

I was a star but I didn't pay attention to it.

We returned to the marina and the mayor and David finished their meal.

Mayor: "I see you're coming back from shopping. Are you all right, Sylvia?"

I nodded my head that I was, and I helped mom bring in the shopping bags.

The mayor nodded to David: "Lovely, that dragon."

David: "Yes... every day is a pleasure. Since she's been here, I find life lighter, more beautiful. It's as if the air has changed."

"I have that feeling, too."

Then a dark-haired, horny creature came and sat down at the table.

"Hello, Mr. Mayor!."

The pressure was terrible, like a lion sitting next to you showing its teeth.

"I am Obsidian"

The mayor had just discussed the whole meal with David about Obsidian but he expected to see a huge dragon but saw before him a beautiful creature, an absolutely ravishing woman.

He was uneasy about it and did not dare to look her in the face.

Tiamat smiled, seeing the discomfort of the man.

He stammered

Tiamat: "I am a dragon, a hydra!"

The mayor didn't know what to say between charm, terror and curiosity.

David, seeing that this would lead to nothing, interrupted:

"Mr. Mayor, consider Miss Obsidian to be the legitimate representative of the dragon people. She is a hydra, a kind of super dragon. She comes in peace and asks us to take in refugees."

The mayor said, "Fascinating!"

David: "This would be a great addition to your city and would give it a great political and economic weight.

Many people in this world dream of seeing a dragon and talking to them. You can't bother or harass Sylvia all the time and I think she is an example for the survivors to follow.

Mayor: But environmental pressure?

"On the contrary, their presence enriches the environment and this is only positive. In addition, they have gold and the means to support themselves financially. Our center is also made for that, to reintegrate them into a social life."

But the days went by and mom saw that something was wrong.

I was very sad and when I saw Obsidienne come home, I yelled at her.

Of course, I couldn't go home anymore and I had to sleep on a rubber water tank as a mattress, in a concrete seal pit with a view of the grid, concrete and spectator seats.

I dreamed every day that I was trained like a seal or a killer whale and had to do pirouettes with a ball to make the spectators applaud.

And I would get mad.

Tiamat turned around and walked out of the house.

"What's going on? Why are you crying?"

Yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I was inconsolable...

" I can't take it anymore.... I can't go home anymore. I don't know how to cuddle with mommy... I don't know how to sleep with Dany.... If I change, I feel pain and I bleed all over the place...."

Tiamat caressed my head.

"You are really the opposite of the Poisse I knew. You really are Sylvia..."

"WVIIII ( yeah) "

Tiamat sighed... and sat on a bench in the alley in front of the house.

Me: "Even with the horns and the tail, I am sick!"

Tiamat: "It's an ugly pass for you, but I don't think you deserve all these trials at once. But don't worry. This is not a divine punishment or a karma attack.

It is the natural order of things.

Your egg will hatch and your body, being part of nature, reminds you that you are a dragon, not a human.

You must now concentrate on your egg, incubate it and now give it as much mana as possible. Forget about human affairs. Your family is here to help you. You are not alone. And I'm here too.

But you still have a lot to learn.

If you can't change back now, I can help you with your big problem.

There is a spell called "Reduction and Enlargement".

Me : "Sniff? Is it true? Sniff (crying)"

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

First of all, we're going to set up a den for you. Not a zoo place. It's nice of them but you shouldn't overdo it.

And with a snap of the fingers, the ground shook and a cave with a deep gaping hole was drilled in the rock, with the exit directly on the sea and rocks around in the dry.

"Thank you Tiamat... thank you."

With the money you have in the account, the workers will be able to dig here a staircase for you and your family.

There is also a marine lake inside with a secret underwater passage.

You will be able to develop it and the area will be closed and restricted so that your little one will not be in danger and can grow up a little to socialize with humans.

Me: "Why?"

Tiamat: "Newborn dragons, especially if they have snake blood, will instinctively attack anything smaller than themselves or children. They must have a few months to begin to understand right and wrong. They are like human babies. They put everything in their mouths to taste. One hand or one arm, they won't make distinctions and it will be drama."

"I understand. Thank you, I hadn't thought about it"

The next day, Mom and David ordered contractors to install electricity in my cave, a TV, underfloor heating and a tidal-powered heat pump.

It looked more like an Armageddon bunker than a sea cave, at least at the bottom.

For security reasons, the cave was equipped with revolving gates and surveillance cameras.

I had a nest with a baptismal bottom to hold the egg safely and a large mattress filled with frigolite shavings that was easy to clean and air. A sort of big pouffe 50 meters in diameter.

It was so comfortable that mom fell asleep in it after I settled down.

I was incubating Mom and Victoria now.

In the morning, Tiamat woke me up. "Don't you want me to bring you croissants too?"

I said, "Sorry, Goddess."

Tiamat: "Good, I like your attitude."

"I will teach you to be a dragon, because all I see is a human in a dragon body or a snake evolved into a human.

Being a dragon is not just being a winged lizard with the ability to speak.

To me, you are a little baby dragon!

Don't worry, I've been there. I've learned the hard way but the hard way. They made me die. I was even crucified! Just for love! Because I loved the bad dragon... Well... that's in the past."

NA: see "The bad dragon is really bad" then the continuation "The little black dragon" Or Opaline is reincarnated in Obsidian

I could see that she was telling the truth. She too must have had a hard time.

"If the snakes are the descendants of Jörmungand, you have more of the snake than the dragon. You are winged snakes with legs like a wyvern.

You evolved into a dragon the day you gave up your animal rage and were blessed by Oriharukon and Mark.

You were finally able to grow your crystal or dragon sphere. Your soul grew when you sacrificed yourself, defeated your inner demons and proved that you had a dragon heart.

I respect you for that. Your sisters didn't evolve but they too were sacrificed and de facto their souls grew too.

But you also kept your heart as a child, as a human daughter. Just like me, you have suffered the fire of Idol, which is a demon for the wicked and a spiritual entity for evolved beings like us."

"But, I don't understand..."

Tiamat smiles.

"You think it happened in a snap of your claws?

Already, what you have to do is accept that you are a dragon. In flesh and blood and spirit.

You have to tell yourself that your human life is over. You have to see the dragon's point of view as you are.

It's hard, but that's the way it is.

Once you are yourself Poisse, or Sylvia, or Tiamat the snake, eventually your mind can move on to your second stage.

The difference between humans and dragons lies not only in the flesh but in the soul.

A dragon follows first and foremost its heart. Not the ape laws. Never forget that.

As a dragon, you must not get lost. Victoria has the right to be a dragon and not a scaly human."

Me: "It's hard..."

Tiamat "Yes, I know, but I learned it through violence and blood. Here you have the chance to learn it in a "soft" way.

Sometimes I envy you and I am jealous...".

I didn't dare to interrupt her. Moreover, she was a real goddess who gave me the grace to educate me.

"Then... Then, the big difference is the amount of mana.

Humans consume very little and absorb a little bit of natural mana. But he can live without it.

We, on the contrary, we produce mana and that escapes and fills the environment.

This allows wastelands to come back to life and nature to explode and conquer new territories.

In the meantime, on TV, TV5 was getting some not very good news:

"New clashes between India and China? After a few skirmishes in 2031, which resulted in twenty deaths on the Indian side in June, the Chinese and Indian armies would have met on January 20, according to Indian military sources quoted by AFP. The battle took place on the Himalayan border at the Naku Pass, which links the state of Sikkim (northeast India) to Tibet. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said it had "no information" about the incident. A Chinese patrol reportedly attempted to venture into Indian territory before being repelled. According to Indian sources, the incident resulted in four wounded Indian soldiers and an unknown number of casualties in the ranks of the People's Liberation Army (PLA, former Red Army). This confrontation was described as "minor" by the Indian Army, which stated that the tensions had been "resolved by the local commanders according to established protocols.

The editor-in-chief of the Global Times, a Chinese daily newspaper, denounces, for his part, a false report and denies any incident.

An unlikely escalation

An umpteenth skirmish which intervenes after one between the two Asian giants around the de facto Himalayan border separating the two countries. Known as the Lign of Actual Control (LAC), this disputed border is more than 4,000 km long. It stretches from the Ladakh region, west of the mountain range, to Arunachal Pradesh, in the east, neighbouring Burma, passing through Sikkim. Although fighting in this region had rekindled tensions in May 2031, the two armies have not used firearms along this border since 2020. Hence the hand-to-hand clashes. There has even been talk of the use of a mysterious secret microwave weapon.

General Alan Delballe, a specialist in South Asia, believes that this incident expresses "China's deliberate desire to take advantage of India's weakness" in order to "venture further south towards the subcontinent". However, the clash seems "astonishing" to him, because Beijing has "already recognized, in an ambiguous manner, Sikkim's belonging to India". China has long claimed for a very long time, to the west, "the whole of Aksai Chin" and, to the east, "Arunachal Pradesh". In the second sector, the Indian army discovered, by means of satellite images, the implantation in January of a Chinese village on a territory that the Indians consider to belong to them.

"The Indian army really doesn't have any clout against the Chinese army," the South Asia specialist confided to . Noting this clear disadvantage in terms of logistics, number of soldiers and equipment, India is increasing its military strength on the border in particular, in the Aksai Chin. For New Delhi fears "skirmishes provoked by China, which can get out of hand". The "Indians are wary" of a general confrontation, he added:

"There would be 50,000 men on both sides facing each other in the Aksai Chin, which makes 100,000 men in extremely difficult areas. It is considerable. The Indians are making a major effort in the military field to develop their arsenal. In particular by calling on France with the Rafale II. In addition, the Indians are trying to restructure their army. They want to make the whole much more rational."

Nevertheless, the general does not believe in an imminent escalation for two reasons. "China doesn't want it," he says, and "it's winter. "It is not at all easy to conduct military operations in these regions at very high altitudes," even though the last de-escalation talks between the two military commands took place on January 24.

What are the consequences for bilateral relations?

It is a fact that these border tensions have had direct repercussions on the state of ties between Beijing and New Delhi. In December, India's Foreign Minister, Sultrahmanyam Jaipankar, admitted that relations with China had been "considerably affected" by these events. Especially in the commercial field. Following the example of the United States, the very popular TikTok application was banned in India along with the Chinese e-commerce giant, Alibaba. New Delhi considered that these applications threatened the sovereignty and integrity of the country. While "trade has declined considerably", explains General Delballe, Indians "refuse or limit very seriously any scientific collaboration" with China. If diplomatic relations were to continue, India would be concerned about "military collusion between Pakistan and China"."

I fell asleep in front of the TV with my egg in my paws.

I could feel the huge influx of mana coming out of my body and filling my little one with life.

Mom came to see me but when I was "brooding" she was not to come near.

The egg could take away her life force. It was like suckling, but with mana.

Rosette: "You look so tired..."

Then Tiamat appeared as a human behind her, by surprise.

"She is brave but I watch over her. You have nothing to worry about."

But Rosetta didn't trust Tiamat.

Then she saw Dany, in the cave, sitting on his couch, to keep me company. He kept in touch with his friends and immediately stood up trembling when he saw Tiamat sitting next to him.

"Dany, we need to talk..."

The poor young man did not dare to move. He knew that the slightest anger and he could find himself in the pit of this monster's stomach. (It doesn't really have a bad bottom until humans have no value to him anymore, except those who love and protect dragons).

"I know you love Sylvia. You proved it in the labyrinth and you are brave. Very brave. You also had the courage to stand up to me as knights, soldiers and mercenaries squealed before my greatness, if they weren't simply dying of fear."

She put her hand on Dany's hand.

"I know and I feel your terror. But it is also a good thing. I won't have to put you in your place."

"You know Sylvia is 18 years old but she is also Poisse.

Rest assured they are one and the same person but Sylvia is far smarter than Poisse.

My first question. Do you know who Poisse was before?"

Dany nodded. "She confessed everything to me... and she still regrets her actions."

"Good! I'm happy! And what do you think?"

"It's all in the past, and we didn't even know each other and I love Sylvia just the way she is, no matter what we've been through."

Tiamat smiled, but she quickly recovered a serious look.

"I remind you that Sylvia is a dragon. Not a human, even if she was one briefly, and she loves you too."

Dany : "Yes, I know, I am aware of that."

"You also know that it's possible that she may not be human again. You've seen the state she's in! She is bleeding everywhere and if she continues, it will be serious cancerous lesions or a transformation will mean her death. In any case of her human part. You know that every moment as a human she suffers martyrdom, even for a brief moment."

Dany was beginning to cry for me.

"Goddess Tiamat, isn't there a solution for her?"

"Poisse is a unique case. I have no knowledge of a failed reincarnation. But it happened.

The problem is that she was already 1400, even 1500 years old, she was resurrected and she crossed the amber and made 10000 years in one direction and then the other.

This is exceptional for a dragon, impossible for a human and, icing on the cake, she will become a deity, or at least half goddess surely.

She becomes a Hydra and a celestial dragon."

Dany no longer understood and didn't know what Tiamat wanted to tell him. It didn't make any sense.

"In short, you have a life expectancy of 70-80 years... and she has eternity.

What will you be for her? What will you be if she finds Oriharukon, who has the same life expectancy as she does, namely infinity."

Dany lowered his head, down.

"I'm not saying this to hurt you or separate you. It is not my intention but I will speak to you crudely."

Tiamat undressed in front of Dany, to Rosetta's amazement.

"Rosette, can you leave us alone..."

The mother cried and left the room.

Tiamat showed herself naked in front of Dany. Beautiful and sexy.

"You find me attractive, don't you?"

Dany : "Yes, I think you are very beautiful, but it is Sylvia that I love."

He looked at the ground and when he looked up, Tiamat had turned into a Poisse, a dragon, and a human size.

Dany was shocked: "How did you do it?"

Tiamat: "I'm teaching Poisse to reduce her size and give her magic notions more appropriate to her situation".

Dany nodded his head.

The dragon came close to Dany and put her belly against Dany's belly. and glowed in his ear.

"And, so, I excite you? Would you make love to me like this? Poisse and you would know how to have children. Just that it is an egg that will come out.

You see, I'm a beast. And you, a human being (a beast for me too, question of point of view.), don't you fear bestiality?

Dany cried "Stop, please... That's not nice"

Tiamat: "What? I'm not nice? you don't like me like this? Don't I excite you?"

Dany: "Stop it, you are defiling my image of Sylvia."

With a claw clap, Tiamat was dressed as a human in front of Dany.

"Did you understand the message? If I don't excite you, then you better not humiliate Sylvia or Poisse by her dragon appearance. Behind the scales, there is someone. She has a heart. Don't you dare break it.

Think about what I've just told you and shown you! She is a dragon with a dragon body.

If she wants to make love, be very careful what you say and what you choose to say. If she forgives you, I don't!

Now it's up to you to make your choice if you are able to physically love a dragon! A reptile!.

Her words went wild like a whip.
