Tania, with her 20 meters, was hurtling through the sky, crossing forests and semi-desert areas.

She soon arrived in front of a mountain range and saw her troops in a circle with their headlights on, torches scattered...

We could still hear the screams of zerg troopers being torn to pieces.

Tania landed, furious, "What is this desertion?"

She was ready to punish men with death.

"My general, come and take refuge in the circle of light... The shadows are taking us by our shadows... it's terrible. It even gets through the armor and even into the air. Once our shadow is hit, it's over!"

Tania was disturbed... she landed.

And she felt something pull her out of the circle...

One of the men pointed his flashlight at Tania's shadow and she saw a dark claw pinching her shadow. But she quickly withdrew from the beam of light.

"A shadow monster"....

"Go back to the base. It's over here for you..."

The machines returned at full speed, leaving Tania with a beam of light.

"They're gone, you can show yourself."

Then, an awful burnt shape appeared out of the shadows.

A panting black/purple dragon came out of the darkness.

Demon lord: "So you're the one who attacked me? You've come to finish me off, Dragon?"

Tania thought for a moment.

"You're a dragon, that changes a lot. But who are you?"

Demon Lord: "You're talkative for a soldier..."

"I exterminated all orcs and creatures that attack humans. They will never trouble mankind again."

Demon lord: "So you want us to go back to before the cataclysm?"

Tania :" I come from the world before the cataclysm, but from another land, from a similar world."

Demon Lord : "So you didn't know Oriharukon or Glaurung?"

Tania: "Sorry, those names don't ring a bell... You're just wasting time, I have endless squadrons and troops and you won't escape from me."

Demon Lord: "So be it... so be it. Let Tiamat pour out her wrath upon you..."

Tania went mad with rage. "What do you know of Tiamat? I have her blood in me."

Demon Lord then we are not talking about the same one... For I too have her blood in me... And I have blood of devourer! You will see what is a power of small devourer...

Tania was disturbed but already the Demon Lord had sunk into the ground through the darkness.

Tania plunged into it via the infernal ways.

Demon Lord : " You are a demon, while I am not, but the darkness is my element, but you, you are only a guest..."

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

A cone of breath of darkness came out of his mouth and Tania, alive as lightning, dodged it, but the demon lord wasn't aiming at Tania, but at her shadow.

Her shield worked but her feathers wore off under the energy.

She was burned to the first degree in some places.

She immediately emerged from the ground and fired magic missiles at the demon lord, but they passed through as if it were a ghost.

The fight was epic, but the dragon lord was slowly gaining the upper hand.

He accelerated into devourer mode and "ate" the space" between him and Tania.

"Young dragon lord, ex-human, you think your elite warrior techniques are going to work on me, who is an elder. I've seen many like you in a thousand years..."

And with a return of his tail he reaped Tania by a feint and, as if by magic, he found himself on the other side, where Tania was not expecting him.

"Your jiu-jitsu doesn't measure up to my kung-fu."

George took a break from the mantis, his claws at a strange angle and stood on his hind legs.

Tania was more comfortable.

George: "Don't think it's uncomfortable for me...".

Tania attacked with her talons like a huge penknife and they met the demon lord's talons, who parried and added an attack of frost.

"Ah, a mechanical shield..."

But it made Tania lose her footing and she crashed against a half-destroyed wall. Now completely destroyed.

She let out a sigh instead of a cry of pain.

Her lips bled and she smiled.

She really missed the fight. And George was a tough opponent.

She hunted into the belly of the rearing dragon. But George pinched Tania on the shoulder and lifted her up and threw her in the air behind him and turned around. One then two exchanges of legs and claws made the air swirl between them. Master martial arts shouts were exchanged but replaced by deaf and guttural grunts. She tried to pinch him in the throat, at the vital points, but with a flick of the wrist, and a well-placed wingstroke, he tapped his paw hand outward.

Suddenly, they grabbed each other's wrists, their talons tangled, but George was quicker. and tapped her belly with a paw. The blow didn't seem strong at first, but Tania coughed and stood with her paw on her chest, gasping for breath for a moment. She was in pain.

He walked with his legs at right angles to each other, snapping his tail like a whip.

He slapped with claws in a vertical direction, toward Tania's head, but it seemed to be a feint. As he tapped, she pushed her arms back, scissoring along her body and with incredible relaxation he opened her legs towards Tania's unprotected chest and tapped a cuff on her sore chest while she still had her legs apart from her previous parry. George was very fast and was not a Demon/Dragon Lord for nothing and he had put his head back in the Axx... of many Orc suitors literally and figuratively...

He managed to plant a claw in Tania's shoulder, at one of her vital points, preventing her from flying to escape. He tried three times in a row and Tania parried, but the fourth was a feint, and he tapped in the ribs, a claw bent to do more damage. She tried to make an improved right of a laceration with her claws, but he avoided it by sliding backwards and slamming her tail back, which lifted her up and she tumbled down a ravine below. He wanted to hit her from top to bottom with a sharp edge. She appeared to be distracted and concentrated, so he kicked her in the stomach and pushed her away.

She vomited and coughed up blood.

Then she tapped but he grabbed her wrist and turned her wing over and a masterful stroke of the tail hit the nape of the neck and she pivoted on herself.

Then he gave Tania consecutive paws and tail blows in her rib cage and a sheaf of blood spurted out of her nose, eyes and ears. Tania felt her end approaching. She was no match for this Draconic Kung-fu master.

He grabbed her and turned her over like a pancake and threw her on her back, crushing her spine.

Wanting to twist her neck, she straightened up and tapped her legs.

Getting her hopes back, she grabbed his wrists but he chased her away and tapped her head and then her legs.

She fell on the ground. A kick in the back ejected her further down the ravine.

She remembered her master and the play of wrists and she gave him a blow between the two eyes.

Then 2 then 3 blows in the neck. She planted a claw in the kidney of the dragon lord who was disturbed for a moment and then everything accelerated.

Against all expectations, he launched a magic lightning, counterbalanced by a lightning of Tania.

But with his wounds and burns on his lungs, he started coughing.

"Your fight is unfair, but it's my fault for not being vigilant enough.

Grandfather knew this technology, I didn't.

She tried to sting him with her stinger, but his claw grabbed her by the shadow of her stinger.

He knew how to hit in real life as well as in the shadows."

"What if I rip that murderer thing out?"

Flash shelling from the troops who had arrived as reinforcements made him let go, visibly wounded by the unexpected training ammunition. Seeing that it was working, he was bombarded with this ammunition that made him bleed everywhere.

Tania, beaten up, got up, satisfied to have had her fight and to know that he was stronger than she was.

Unfortunately for George, the dragon lord, she preferred human women but respected him. In a last attempt, he tried to slit Tania's throat but she threw him a devastating spell/breath: Sunbeam.

The scales lifted and the wound/burns were deep on the side. It would take months without proper care to recover.

He collapsed, beaten. "I surrender, please... I don't want to die like this...we have to save Sister and Mom...I did everything for them" and he collapsed, stunned by the pain.

She took out her katana to cut off his head.

And with one leg: "I have nothing against you, but you must pay for your crimes against humans."

She raised her sword... "Georgy... my name is Georgy... mercy..."

Tania dropped her sword, filled with tears.

She grabbed the head of the purple dragon and shook it. "Why do you have this name... Why????"

"Mom...Loved a human... Georgy, but he died of old age, it was Dad..."

Tania: "Are you half-human???"

... well, only the dragon is left, I've exceeded the life expectancy of humans..."

"Tiamat will judge you... I give you the grace of life, and especially because you fought well..." shouted the dragon.

An Orca took the dragon lord in chains.

The dragon wanted to fly to the other area of loss but her wing was sore and adrenaline was falling... she fainted.

She was also brought back by an Orca and taken to a medical wing.

Treatment was given and other drakes, Tania's minions, cast minor healing spells on her.

Marise had left for the Dwarf fortress... And what was her surprise...
