The sun hit me in the face. I wanted to get up but it hurt all over... A shock maybe? Probably.
Everything was confused. And the first thing I saw... a baby raptor...
Ah...but what am I doing here????
My mission... Yes, to call "mummy"... The head of MI6... I've got the three warheads of the rocket train...
I have to be on Ethernia... In the Draconian Empire of Sinistrar...
Then, I look at myself... I'm not human any more... am I a raptor? Not a Deinonichus?
Ah, I'm confused...
I must have been on earth.
But what are those dinosaurs doing...? They were only on Ethernia.
There were two suns...
No.... that's the sun... our sun... but that's a comet????
I looked at myself...
No.... No.....
I was looking at myself... there was a problem, I was a raptor, not a dragon... no wings... no sting.
The other raptors were watching over me and they put themselves in a defensive position, running sniffing around.

One of them had red eyes, and was taller than the others...It must have been the Alpha.
He barked, ordering me to get up immediately. The babies went to hide in the bushes. The mother, dead, no one to look after the little ones.
Gently I took one of the eggs, which made the Alpha's arches pucker.I don't know why, but I was attracted to this beautiful male... He rubbed his muzzle against mine, to make sure of my intentions. His instincts were more developed than we had ever known and showed an incredible trait of intelligence.
Let's try magic..."Inventory..."Shit... the list was millions... BAM, my memories.... Yes... The world destroys... Earth, Hakumen.... The mouth of fire...Isolde...Our child????
I felt above the stars the pressure of mother Tiamat...She was there and not there...I was afraid of her, I don't know why... but I was...Everything was confused in my head...Yes... the eggs...
The comet...MEEEERDDE! We are 65000000 years of my world...I wanted to blow a bubble with a fiery tank... but it wouldn't come out....I then try to take the eggs... Yes, it works! The eggs go into my inventory...
The basic magic still works.Alpha shouted "SCREEEEEECH!"And he looked at me.... "What the hell is she waiting for?"
Then we all ran together into the forest. Yes, tightly packed trees... smart to sow the predators.And so our long race began.
Alpha made a diversion by the river, so that we could gain strength [https://img.wattpad.com/3274a4d863e52ee57eebcecbcac2d8195241723d/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f7132767577356e416d5358324c773d3d2d3939333339343835372e313634663261626366393831653235643433323131383831353139372e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Alpha made a diversion by the river, so that we could gain strength.
I followed the group, the time to organise my thoughts...Deep down I felt that I had an important mission... crucial.
If I died, I would be lost in the limbo of time...I felt that these raptors were my family! my ancestors... It was as if my soul was crying out.
That it was the return to the origins. We arrived running towards the valley set between two large cliffs of young rocks.
On the horizon we could see plumes of smoke. Volcanism was very active and every day there were earthquakes...
In Avernus, in the infernal palace, Tiamat was lying on the promontory with the altar on which Tania rested, trembling, meaning that she was dreaming."Mummy?" asked one of her child priests. "Is she sleeping?"
Tiamat: "Of course not!... She is on an astral journey to the origins of the earth.... Her soul is in another world, that of the original earth, connected to her body here by the silver cord. It is a perilous adventure and unfortunately I cannot help her. No one can...It is a symbolic journey that will allow his soul to repair itself. His powers are passed on to him through my blood now.
She made a few incantations and what Tania saw was projected on the walls of the fortress, so that all the troops could see.
Everyone was excited to see the primal world in this way. The origin of all .The Alcheringue, the time of the eternal dream.... The time of the great hunt.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Then, in Tiamat's head, She heard Marise's pleas .But Tiamat, didn't want to and couldn't show any weakness. She was exhausted... She had literally emptied herself of magic to save Tania...When she saw all her children that she had neglected, disowned for some, and left to die for the nicest...She swallowed, closing her eyes with regret but she couldn't show it.
They were after all the soldiers of the goddess of absolute evil...She was particularly wary of Demodragon and the 12 zodiacs, all equally cruel.
The troops were those of Hirrax, the weakest but the least wicked. Still capable of love.She wanted to hug them all but they had eternity to change... little by little.
So she closed her eyes, showing a kind of meditation.The projected video will keep them busy.But she wanted to get out of here as soon as possible... Who knows if an arch-demon was provoking her? Or worse, a prince demon... To make men suffer... she had grown tired... her anger, appeased...She longed for something else... Then she concentrated on Tania. "Come on, my daughter, be brave..."
After we had quenched our thirst. The Alpha rolled in the damp earth, to hide our smell. He was worried. And rightly so.
I did the same, very clever [https://img.wattpad.com/ef84f1d9ffabd6bc14613ad9f081f6c361a308eb/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f5759715f385255464e59455f37513d3d2d3939333339343835372e313634663261636561346137386366623632303536333734323237332e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
I did the same, very clever.And we started running towards the forest.But at the same moment, a little breathless joined us.
He didn't want to be abandoned.
I grabbed him and took him in my jaw.
The Alpha was amazed that I did this. Another little one arrived and one of the females, seeing that I was going to carry him, did the same...
Maybe they were going to live?
I had no idea. But one thing was certain... in a few days, a few weeks at the most, the comet would have collided and our future, if we weren't burned alive, wasn't going to be a glorious one.
Eating and living. Our priority.But where did these beings come from? Who were we really? We were intelligent... Contrary to what one might think. I understood that the non-stop predation occupied all the time to survive and made any cultural development impossible.I am sure that raptors could have evolved like humans... Yes, they could!
There were 7 of us but we couldn't see any other?
Would we be the last? or the first of a new race, strain?
I was imbued with their language and I recognised the roots of dracony...So we moved from day to day in search of ever rarer prey.And the only ones presenting themselves as being too big
And the only ones presenting themselves as being too big [https://img.wattpad.com/cf989d5ed9c9219a45d2cf5ec317566a66110f33/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f7045716a3637496753696a5472413d3d2d3939333339343835372e313634663261646135343733613161613736323438333134323539332e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
I was wasting my time. Just like them. Running, eating, sleeping and running away, almost no time to look after the little ones and teach them.
Well yes, hunting techniques and primary language. All of a sudden, one of our troop whistled. Allosaurs! The enemy of the raptors Uthah... As fast on the lookout but 3 times their size.
There were 3 of them. No question of fighting, we'd be torn to pieces.

They weren't stupid... Their little one had snuck up to get close without being seen and find our trail.
With their powerful sense of smell, they were on our trail.
heir objective: To eat one of the juveniles and those who would try to protect or carry them, slowed down.
I didn't even have time to collect wood and try to make a fire...I blew but apart from being thirsty, no dragon's breath.
I thought too much and the others started to run. One of the little ones was lagging behind and I picked him up. So did the other one. I became a prey.
The Alpha, seeing the situation, whistled and growled to draw attention to him, so that I could run away.
I loved that animal!
Then the race started, we made no more noise as we entered the dense forest. Now a cat and mouse race started. The little ones didn't shout, they knew...I walked into the thorny bushes and slipped through with my scales.
The Allosaurs didn't take the bait...but turned their snouts towards me. They were experienced hunters.
I don't think my barefoot fighting techniques and Jiu-jitsu would make a difference. I thought of shields and, miraculously, it worked. At least I was protected by magical armour.
Their teeth and fangs wouldn't be able to tear me apart but it's dangerous anyway.
Then I turned around, put the little ones behind me and growled:Tiamat! Mother, lend me your strength!
But the goddess was exhausted. Her soldiers who were watching the show turned towards her. She replied, "Find strength within yourself", helpless.
"Fireball!"And a sphere of fire left my mouth and went crashing into the feet of my pursuers.
It exploded, burning them to varying degrees, but not enough to kill them.
The pain stopped them dead in their tracks and they started moaning like beaten dogs. They ran and limped back to the river to rest and heal themselves.
The parents had protected their little one with their bodies. I was acclaimed by "OUAH OUAH..." of my little tribe, the 2 little ones stuck to my paws.
But fear and terror invaded me when I looked up at the sky. A mountain the size of Texas would collide and it would be the end. I pushed with all my strength the Zergian spheres stuck in the back of my throat but it was impossible.
I pushed so hard that I bled from the muzzle and until I had an incident...It was a lost cause...I needed a cave!
The Alpha recognised in me his equal and I looked towards the rocks, the river... There must have been a primary network of caves.
I had learned about it on TV in a soporific show one day....I said to myself: "Wow! DANGER DANGER! MONSTER FALL FROM THE SKY!"
The raptors watched the stone now visible in broad daylight. In a few hours it would meet the atmosphere and terrible storms would precede the exterminating impact. They understood that this was the end. The great hunt had just ended.
It was time to find shelter. Everything was getting quiet .But I kept my cool!
"OUAH OUAH... FOLLOW ME LIVE"
Without hesitation the troop ran with me towards the rocks and we jumped from rock to rock to reach a waterfall coming out of a cave.
They were afraid but even more afraid of the rock. We entered the cave and I pushed everyone in.I cast a spell of light inside and cast a stone wall spell to seal the exit.Then shield the walls so that they would not give way under the effect of the earthquakes that were to follow.
There was a tiny hole to see outwards and a huge light lit up the sky and the valley, a bit like the flash of an H-bomb, but much, much stronger.
We huddled together and waited for the blast and the impact.But it was such a loud bang that we were all almost knocked out and we couldn't hear anything.
The sonic wave!Then the shock wave.Everything started to shake and the dust and like pressurised steam entered the caverns.With the pressure and the atmospheric crushing, the water was violently thrown from the inside of the cave to the outside and the water bypassed the shield sphere and broke through the stone wall, driving it outwards.The water also repelled the flames of the cataclysm, then an immense suction occurred, shaking us in all directions and then violent winds, tornadoes, fires everywhere burned forests, steppes. A widespread fire.Vegetation was dying by the flames.
But very soon the sky became sooty and it got dark.My tribe was terrified.Tiamat hugged her sons against her, stressed that contact would be cut off, but a sigh of relief broke out from the soldiers watching Tania's fight for life.
