I was arriving at Fort Brume and as the name suggests there is mist.

Grunt had been waiting for me for 1 day and I took nothing with me, just an old skin with the smell of children.

As a sign of politeness, I arrived with some greasy game and I dropped it at the entrance of the fortress.

Of course, it was in a state of alert and I saw many claw marks, burns on the stone and no windows, but stones blocking the murder hole. Then a "window" opened by turning the stone inward and Grunt showed up.

Come into the backyard, Mark and brazeros were lit and a harrow was raised. There was no way to enter the yard because of ropes stretched and nets with sharp squares.

The tops of the towers were pools of water.

I entered the courtyard and suddenly felt trapped. I looked at the portcullis behind me but it was still up, I could still run away.

Then all of a sudden, trumpets

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Alert, she's attacking! The portcullis closed and Grunt said to me, quickly go to the stable! And I followed Grunt into the stable.

GROOOOAAAARRR heard me! "HAHAHAHA I understood in Draconian:

Little humans, come out if you dare! I, Kaa will make you come out of your shell. You won't bother the dragon people anymore. These are my lands!"

GROOOAAAAAARRRR.

The people did not understand anything and I translated to Grunt.

Whoaah, we can tell that bitch!

Marc: Can you tell her that we're not afraid and that we're going to settle the score?

Yes, of course I can:

GROOWARRRA SQUEEK KWEEK GGRRRR GROARL!

The dragon stopped and ran away!

Hurrah screamed the Dragon Hunters!

Thank you, Grunt said to me.

The Harrow can be opened from the inside by pushing this lever. As promised you are not a prisoner here. You saw our problem!

Yes, no need for explanations.

Then a dragonnier says: It's like women, you have to show them who is the leader! Beat her once and she will know who the master is.

I stood in the stable on a huge pile of straw and thought about the men who were victims of this monster.

Then night came and it was dark under the castle, in the vaulted cellars that had been turned into a dragon's lair. There were dragon chains inside but I was not thinking about it.

Then came the howling of the wolves.

I was all alone and I had the fur skin on which the children slept.

There was a fire in front of me and I was huddled around it and I started to cry.

I was crying after my cuddly toy..... It was hellish.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, Doudouuuuuuu, Douddouuuuuuu,

The chief of the guard came down, unable to sleep, and shouted. What is there dragon?

Doudouuuuu, Sniffff. Doudoooouuuuu, IIIIII, IIIIII

Then being suspicious that it's a trick, what's your problem? We're all exhausted and trying to sleep.

And what's DOudouuuu? she asked.

Snifff. I'm afraid of the dark............IIIIIIII, IIIII,IIIII

I want my Doudou...

Captain Arma : Wait, you're a dragon and you're afraid of the dark? How old are you?

11 years old.... sniff! I have no friends here and I'm alone. I can't sleep alone and I miss the kids. IIIII,IIIII, I don't want to sleep alone in the dark. I am afraid of the dark!

Arma: But wait, you're safe in the dark!

If there are shadow dragons like me! and they tear up the night and they eat the children in the dark...

Arma, that's impossible!

If I say I look and in the shadow, I plunged a claw and it came out by another shadow. You see, there are dragons in the shadows and they turn children into shadows. They are monsters! I am afraid!

Arma, Ok if you don't cry, I will lie down here, but let us sleep, ok?

Arma, settled down by the fire and I fell asleep. But in the early morning, Arma was asleep, her head on my tail as a pillow. She woke up surprised to see my wing covering her like a hen her chick. And my thumb in my muzzle and clutching the blanket that served as my cuddly toy.

Then Arma let me sleep and found Grunt.

It is the first time that I see a nice dragon. If they were all like him, it would be great.

It's true what you said, he's still a child. I feel sorry for him. But he is really gentle. I think we can let the apprentices and children play with him. He will need it when he has to face KAA, that red flying viper. I hope he won't fall under her spell. If he knew his true face. The problem with Marc is that he's naive and too nice. And that's his biggest weakness.

Grunt greeted me in the morning with pastries and milk. The dragon slayers couldn't believe that I was helping them. They asked me lots of questions and I was asked to train the novices.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

They put leather sheaths on my paws and horns to prevent accidents and I found it amusing. I loved playing with the apprentices and the younger ones.

It was all a game to me. Then I heard

HAHAHAHA, what a pitiful show!

It was KAA who was laughing at me!

A beautiful big male who wastes his time playing with vermin. HAHAHAHAHA,

Did they castrate you or what?

GRRRR, she was provoking me.

The novices hid behind me and I cast a shield and stone wall spell as she spat out her fire to test me.

The flames were hot but my shield held strong and the stone wall protected my protégés.

AHA, I see you are stronger than you think, come to my house, I would like to talk with you.

Grunt asked me what she said.

I replied that she was inviting me to her house and that I was a beautiful male.

Grunt and Arma: Be careful and don't let yourself be seduced, and be careful of her eyes, she hypnotizes.

Hypnotizes? What's that?

Grunt and Arma looked at each other and nodded in agreement and prepared for the assault.

Kaa: So handsome, are you coming? Come on, follow me!

So, out of curiosity, I followed the dragon. My instincts were hitting me in the head and between my hind legs.

My sense of smell was focused on the dragoness like a fly attracted to honey. It smelled like a girl, a woman, very strongly. And that disturbed me. I was afraid.

My dragon part was telling me to go for it.

My child part was telling me to watch out for the witch.

My head was spinning.

Then we arrived at a large cave on a mountainside. and a huge pile of straw and branches, a bed, a dragon's nest.

And she lay down on it! and she tapped on the pile next to her. Come and sit here, handsome boy.

Then she took her front paw and caressed my cheek and went down along my chest.

But what do I see here all these muscles and these big wings.

This is the first time I see you around here!

What's your name?

Mark answered.

??? Ah, it's a rather Human name...

What are you doing with them? You were playing with them like me?

Yes, I was playing with them! I love children and young people.

Kaa, ah, I like young people too, but I prefer young men to women. They smell like musk and adrenaline.

But let's be honest! You're on my territory, you know?

I'm not!?

How do you not know how to recognize territories? Didn't your mom teach you that? It's the first rule that dragons teach their babies.

Me: I didn't know my dragon mom.

Kaa: Wait, SNIFFF LICK LICK with her very long tongue. I think I recognize that smell, that taste.

But I need a little more and I'll tell you where your mommy is.

And she licked me between the horns and I trembled. The first one made that an erogenous zone was affected. That scared me!

Stop Kaa!

Kaa: But it feels good, doesn't it?

I feel weird. What do you want? I walked away and she made a slight tss between her teeth.

Marc, if I can call you Marc, you know you're a beautiful dragon and I like you a lot.

I see that you are still young and that you have many things that your mom should have taught you.

If you are nice to me, I will teach you everything your mom should have taught you and a lot of great things to do together.

Play? I say

Kaa: Yesiii, Play, that's it. Yes, Play!

Then Kaa rubbed his tail against mine. And she tells me you know, opposite sex dragons don't always fight and when we fight, it's a love ritual. We measure each other's strength to first blood. It often allows the female to see if her male is strong and will be able to defend her when she hatches her eggs.

Would you like to have little dragons?

Marc: Yes, I love children.

KAa: Yes, but not like you, but the dragons are so cute and it's great to teach them to hunt and fly. Flying in a group, in family and then, you are black and white and I am red so we could have all the colors as we are extreme.

Me, (Kaa rubs my back) Kaa; please stop, I feel all weird.

Kaa: Let the dragons love to cuddle and massage you. It's not every day that a pretty dragon will give you a good massage.

Look Kaa, you try to be nice to me and you want to be my first dragon friend but I don't want you to hurt humans.

Kaa then straightened up sharply.

What? You want me to give up my toys?

Me: Why are you doing that?

Well I have to explain.

We have a King, an Emperor, a Boss, you know? And he doesn't really like Humans

I was his concubine and as I didn't eat enough humans he threw me out of his harem. Since then I can't have any more friends, guys if you know what I mean.

Me: No?

Kaa, but you're 11 years old, a dragon is an adult at 5 or 6 years old. Are you retarded or something?

Then consider that I'm 2 months old, I answered him. I've been alive for two months.

Ohhh my baby, I'm sorry. No wonder you couldn't understand. I'm sorry I did grown-up things to a child. But 11 years and 2 months? I don't understand...

Anyway, you'd rather have a back rub then?

And she stroked my back with her tail. I relaxed then.

Listen Marc, I can't take it anymore, forgive me and she grabbed my head and put her tongue in my mouth to kiss me. I let myself do it and she said sorry, but I need tenderness too. You know I live alone and I'm going crazy. And I need a guy like you, plus you're so handsome ah and she hugged me against her dragon heart.

Well, I'm going to explain it to you like my mom explained to me before.

Me: but we don't get old and we have time, right?

Kaa: But we have needs too!

Me: If I had a vial with products that work better, you would stop?

Kaa: Of course!

Then there are the territories..: If you look at the landscape you will see like waves. They are telluric waves. Humans see small waves of 2-3 meters, but we dragons see big waves of 1 kilometer. Every 500 kilometers there is a special wave, bigger and it usually follows the ridges of mountains or ravines and it is the limit of a territory.

Each dragon has a square, like a checkerboard. The squares are for males. Dominant or widowed females can have a territory and they can only keep it if they win a ritual fight with another sex and sometimes a fight to the death with the same sex.

Sometimes several dragons are together but they are then part of a harem or reverse harem. There is basically a dominant and submissives. Usually the submissives will hunt while the dominant fights or trains by kicking the submissives by sport.

The submissives then pass their rage on to other submissives further down the hierarchy or take revenge on the men.

Men are for us ants collecting gold, resources and treasures.

We harvest them as we milk a cow.

We must not exploit them too much or else they die or go elsewhere and if not, they rebel and put constant pressure on them. Sometimes they come with an army and it's a lot of fun. They make beautiful and have costumes and feathers and they make music, drums, trumpets and victory cries. It's really fun. You have to wait until they have silver and a lot of gold. You can see it when the castle has a lot of carts and everything is shining, and then they are getting ready to raise an army.

if it doesn't go well, you have to bite a few little ones and especially those with feathered hats.

Stop it Kaa, it disgusts me what you're saying.

Kaa .???? why do you say that? You're a dragon like me! If we go exploring the world we'll have to face a lot of dragons but men will cut you to pieces if you let them!

And what were you doing at the Fog Castle? They're dragon slayers! They've already hurt me here and there!

And they didn't do anything to you?

Kaa, listen, leave them in peace! You'll see, there's a lot to gain.

Kaa: You smell like a human child and that excites me, but if it makes you happy, I'll leave them in peace, but we'll leave together, ok?

We made a fire and slept together and Kaa sat in a little chair with me. It was good like that.

But four little mouse eyes didn't smile when they saw us.

Kaa opened her eyes and crossed their glances, fury in her eyes and a little mocking smile.

Then she turned her head and said: I saw you, little one, go away, this will be your only chance...

Arma and Grunt did not insist and left.

Grunt: We had a problem. Now we have two! And if they have little ones, I don't say...

Arma: She's in heat and he's a male that is following the hormones. I'd still like to trust him, but let's wait a few days.

Grunt : What else do you want us to do?

The two humans resigned themselves.

I woke up with Kaa, who brought me some game, but she's away.

I flew to the fort and asked to see Grunt.

Grunt left the portcullis down and I could not enter. And I asked, is there a problem?

Grunt: Yes, you're the problem! You stick to the snake and sleep with that bitch?

Me: Wait, I'm trying to convince her to stop hunting men. She explained everything to me.

Grunt: Can't you see she's playing with you and when she doesn't need you anymore she'll throw you away or kill you. You have to choose your side, Marc: Men or dragons!

We are your family and we welcomed you among us. Don't disappoint us!

Arma, I too am sad that you are staying with that winged whore. Go ask the apprentices what they think of her who devoured their daddy and sisters.

Did she tell you that she loves children, especially little girls? Didn't she?

Me: Yes!

Arma: Yes, she loves them in her stomach.
