The wars of the Tiamats...
In ancient mythology, it was a primary deity. We know very little about her and the beings that were her creations.
Some will say AO, others Titania and others Tiamat.
Originally, there were primary Gods who ruled their worlds, they were called the primordial Gods.
They dreamed and the universe was made. Thus, they created the stars, the planets and all kinds of life forms.
But what they did not know was that there were more universes and more dimensions and this concept escaped them.
In the multiverse, in each dimension, there were gods, or a God and a Tiamat.
And as all the worlds were intertwined without knowing their existence, time and history were repeated, like copies of each other. But sometimes with subtle differences.
The Gods eventually killed each other and destroyed one of their peers, AO who became each time a Tiamat, crazy, monstrous and full of hatred and revenge.
This super dragon, this Leviathan with 5 heads, each representing one of the elements of primal matter, quickly became aware of the existence of other universes and other Tiamats that had survived the Ragnarok, the extinction of the Gods.
Some universes, some dimensions were still home to Gods but they were not really Gods, they were self-proclaimed Gods. Some were very advanced beings with mystical powers that could bend time and space, others drew their power from prayers and sacrifices and others were only usurpers and demons in the making.
And so the war began. Each 5-headed hydra believed that by defeating another hydra, they would find their soul or the missing fragment but...
One of them was stronger than all the others and remained the last primordial Goddess.
Humans and dragons were caught in this subtle and invisible war...
The day before...
My name is Marc and I am 6 years old.
My family and I live in Belgium, in Liege and we have a country house near Chassepierre.
This small village was known for its secret druidic city and only a few enthusiasts of legends and mysteries know its location.
At that time, a museum was under construction and the signage was often neglected.
This weekend, my friends Eric, Eddy and Frederic, came to stay at our country house near Chassepierre.
It was great and I really wanted to participate in a Dungeon and Dragons type of role playing game.
The principle was that an animator or Master, in this case Eddy, guides us in a mysterious adventure.
We all had to meet here and I was waiting for them. As they didn't know exactly where the house was, we met on the big parking lot. I never met them.
I had a terrible accident.
I was waiting for my friends for a role-playing game at Chassepierre but the rain and the storm made me take shelter at the entrance of a cave but the mud was slippery and I fell into a hole I hadn't seen.
The fall must have been vertiginous and I only remember bouncing on the smooth and wet walls. The fall was not direct. Fortunately, it was not a direct fall.

It's night, it's summer and I can hear all the wildlife. It's scary.
I look at my body and it's a dragon! I have spikes everywhere!
I panic and I go back into the cave and I come out and I'm always in the same place!
I scream! ERIC! FRED? EDDY? guys, it's a good joke! but only the rain echoes back to me.
I didn't want to believe what was happening to me
I was lost, completely disoriented.
Panicked and I could hardly put one foot in front of the other. I was stumbling with every step.
Everything was distorted, smaller and my clothes were in tatters.
Kind of like the Incredible Hulk's shirt after his transformation.
Plus, I had a lot of blood curdling on me.
I wasn't hurt, but maybe I was.
In a panic, I got out of the cave but instead of being a chasm, it was a normal exit.
I take shelter in the cave and I touch my body to discover it.
A terrible jaw, teeth like swords, 11 horns and every vertebra that comes out like spears. I'm scaled from head to paws and my tail ends in a sword and a sting. my arms are winged and bones stretch a membrane. I must be between 7 and 9 meters long and the only thing I can do is to wait for daybreak, in the shelter of the cave. I cry so much that I fall asleep and I am awakened by the noise of the birds at daybreak.
The next morning, the entrance of the cave is plunged in the morning softness. Insects buzz and the sound of the stream adds to the morning symphony.
The sun pierces the fir trees near the cave and the smell of humus and fir needles invade the atmosphere.
I opened one eye, then the other and looked and found that I had not dreamed. I was indeed a grey/white dragon with black lines.
I felt inside me, the power and strength of nature. My senses were amplified, multiplied tenfold, but I was terrified.
I looked everywhere and I saw no trace of the path or the cars. I saw nothing. Forest as far as the eye could see.
I heard the stream and there are often paths along the streams that lead somewhere.
In order not to get lost, I put stones on the ground with an arrow indicating my direction.
Then I walked along the creek.
It was very small, a few tens of centimeters at the widest and the water was crystal clear. I was thirsty and I ventured to drink and hmmm, as the water was good and fresh, without chlorine or additives, it was clean and natural. I followed the stream and then it came into a larger one, and I saw fish. Lots of fish.
GROWL
Did my stomach do that?
Hunger
Instinct
My tail hit the water and 3 fish were stunned.
The day before, I was waiting for my friends for a role-playing game at Chassepierre but the rain and the storm made me take shelter at the entrance of a cave but the mud was slippery and I fell into a hole I hadn't seen.
Now I am in the body of a giant and ferocious beast and I am walking along the stream swallowing fish.
I find an old ruin and I settle in it for lack of a cave. Maybe some good souls can help me adapt or find a way to get home! Sniff.
It's an old fortified village with a tower but everything has been destroyed by the dragons it seems!
I go inside and explore and under the tower a huge room still intact and that's where I will settle down. There is a stream, pastures, not too much traffic and not too far from the cave where I appeared. With my G, which is all that is left of my world, I still have a signal but I can't call or text. Just the internet still going by... Weird.
Quick. download an encyclopedia before it cuts off and some technique books for later! Electricity, applications, general mechanics, medicine and Universalis. I'll fill in later. Yes, more surgery, pharmacy and arts and crafts... Basically everything I don't know yet.
Shit, the memory is full.
Too bad, I keep a few comics online.
Oh no! the comm is off...
The comics couldn't be loaded... What's going to happen to me???
MOTHER!!!!
TEDDY TEDDY TEDDY TEDDY!
Crying.
