Servants appeared out of nowhere and ran away screaming at my sight... I was used to it.
Arma put jewelry and colored socks on my spikes and horns but I was just as nightmarish, worse than the cat in Alice in Wonderland. I think it's my eyes that are terrible, inverted. White on a black background.
I curled up in my den and heard movement in the next room followed by screaming and crying:
Nooooo I'm too afraid of the dragon, it's going to eat me....
Prince, a little courage, you will have to represent the state, the nation!
So give me a big armor!
Then a klonk , klonk opened the door and a kind of robot can entered and fell on the floor, face forward.
Arma put a veil on me to hide me from the sight of Prince Dagobert:
Prince, Prince, you put your bottom upside down and fell: Then, later, the troubadours sang Dagobert to put his panties upside down! HAHAHA
I wanted to sing the song but it's always the first contact that counts.
Me: Sire, would you like me to help you up, not having noticed that I was the dragon speaking.
I lifted the prince up from under his shoulder with my claw.
The dragon, he is very tall !!!!
Dragon! exclaimed Dagobert, can you play with me?
The joy could be read on my eyes and my tail was swinging frantically. Then the princess, who must have been six years old, ran after her brother.
Dragon! this way, Dragon that way! We played hide and seek all the time and I won all the time thanks to my sense of smell. But I didn't tell them.
Then we played baby mama and papa. I loved it!
They'd put a bib on me and stuff me with pastries!
Arma was furious, but I think she was more jealous when someone took her "thing" away from her.
We also used to play tagada and they would ride me all the time and we'd go pick-nicking in the forest. I would hunt with them on my back and we would build a fire and enjoy it.
One day, some Goth assassins came and I felt them and the children who used to sleep against me more than in their room had put dolls in their beds. The dolls were stabbed and they fled through my room and ended up in my clutches. Alive. They were captured and interrogated.
They were scouts of Mordred, the disinherited incest son of Arthur and Morgana who was Jormungand the terrible dragon.
Arma one day introduced me to a very promising knight, the famous Siegfried from Germania and he was a specialist dragon slayer. But when he came unexpectedly, I almost finished at the end of his spear if he hadn't seen the children playing with me and my knight's medal.
When he arrived, I stood at attention, terrified!
Siegfried : Hello Dragon!
I have heard your exploits. I couldn't believe such a rumor. A Dragon Slayer Knight Dragon! who guards princes and princesses.
But you have instincts, don't you? The other knights told me that you can be corrupted with food! Is this true?
Me: Yes, a little, but I respect the law and the king!
I have a place here and I would do anything to keep it!
Would I do anything to keep it?
Your questions are complicated...
Sigfried cut himself and a trickle of blood ran from his arm!
Taste it, Dragon! Go ahead, lick it off and I promise I won't do anything to you!
I curled up in a ball to defend the children!
Dagobert and your sister, hide behind me, he's not right in the head!
The children obeyed and shouted: But he is bleeding! You did this to him.
No, I swear, he wants me to taste his blood!
Dagobert: But it's disgusting!
Me: Yes, it's disgusting!
Arma arrived and "saved" me ! Come on, big boy, there's honey cake for all three of you!
And then we forgot Siegfried with his bloody arm and I'm stuffed with pastries and nectar!
And the laughter resumed
Siegfried:
Hey, he's ignoring me for cake!
Arma: If you want to bribe him, go and make a cake and some pastries, fruit or even soup.
He has enough meat and game. He loves ready meals and cooking with vegetables.
He doesn't give a damn about your blood, he's not a snake or one of Mordred's lineage!
Siegfried: I have another look at him now. But he's going to grow up and get older, and if he changes?
Arma: Everybody changes but he is a child! And a good man is a man who had a good youth. He has a heart of gold and if I were a dragon, I would have been married to him for ages!
But he has a promise that he knocked out and his mother-in-law is watching over him! I'm out of luck!
Siegfried, we are also victims of the scourge of Mordred and I am sent here by order of King Hjalprek and his adviser Regin. At home we call him Fafnir and here Mordred!
I am cunning and I will put an end to the dragons, Marc last!

Arma: You're not going to kill him anyway!
I said ALL the dragons would perish. All of them without exception !
I am not in a hurry but at the first signs of bloody madness, he will perish!
Arma: You'll have to kill me for that!
Siegfried: HAHAHA, So be it then! Let him then look for a way to become human again! There would be a ring, the magic ring of Nimbelungen!
Then he asked to train with me!
Arma asked me to train him and leather gloves were put on my claws and I used the spells of paralysis and snowblow to simulate fire. I also used magic missile but the tag! version without charge! finally the effect of a flashball anyway.
He turned out to be an excellent warrior and his spear soaked with paint touched me many times and he finally got the upper hand when my heart was repainted yellow! I had a lot of "yellow cuts" and he was a bit cold!
But in a real fight, he would have had the upper hand! I had learned a lot from him and I never missed a training session. The kids loved to see the fight and we put Siegfried as the hero and me as the bad dragon (as usual) but after a while we got to the adult duels and we had to stop at first blood as they say. Siegfried had frostbite and facial swelling and I also had facial swelling and we laughed after a good fight!
I treated our injuries and we became friends. But behind the smile, I felt that Siegfried was like a leather glove with an iron hand. I was terrified inside!
Then came an attack of snakes and crystal troops, the magical knights of Mordred.
They ravaged the city and the castle but I did not intervene!
Siegfried was furious with me and called me a coward for not fighting the other dragons.
I didn't care what Siegfried wanted, my priority was the children. Not the king or his kingdom. I had to protect Dagobert and his sister. Period!
And I was right. When everyone was in the castle protecting the king and the queen, a big diversion in fact,
A snake came straight at the children and I greeted it with my fangs.
GRRRAH
CLAP
CLASH!
I had my armor spell but I also had my chain mail armor on me!
A sorcerer mounted the snake and threw a magic missile that hurt me!

A sorcerer mounted the snake and threw a magic missile that hurt me!
I raged and jumped on the snake and plowed his belly with my hind talons and a hole was made in his belly and I opened it!
Black blood flowed and the sorcerer cast regeneration spells. The wounds were closing and then we bit our necks and cracked something moved inside me and the pain was dazzling. I lost altitude and we crashed.
I had a horrible wound on my neck and a broken wing.
He had broken wings but he was behaving like a gigantic cobra!
In desperation I blew out electricity and the wizard fried. The snake contorted itself and bit me on one leg. Its teeth penetrated my flesh to the bone and I stuck my dart into its heart!
He fell down dead.
Soldiers with horned helmets surrounded the children and I rushed to their rescue and sent him to the ground with a swipe of his tail. They smashed into the stone wall surrounding the garden.
"BACK TO ME, children!"
They took refuge behind me and climbed me to safety on my back.
Dagobert: "Oh no, your wing is ugly and your neck, we can see your muscles!
Me: Don't worry, I'll be treated afterwards and iron plates will be put on them later.
I was afraid of electricity on children.
Breath: Fllaaaammmmmm and the crystal men exploded and the others were burning. But they came in waves!
Blow
Tail
CLAW ! (one leg!)
Ayyooei
My shield must have given way!
Axe blows
Sword blows in the flanks
Ayiiiie:!
Slam, tail slap!
Arrows!
I raised my still good wing to protect the children with my wing against the arrows that were crashing by dozens through my skin and ribs.
I was bad, very bad.
FLEE!
Contrary to the dragons who would fight to the death mostly out of vanity, I tended to run away!
So I did a RUN! with the kids on my back and I ran to the other side of the castle, towards the knights and I was bloody everywhere!
I had lost at least half of my strength and I wouldn't stand a chance against another dragon!
I swept away the horde of Goth mercenaries and made my way to the entrance where our troops had regained the upper hand. Seeing me in this state Arma ordered the troops to counterattack backwards and a squad of knights slaughtered the Goths. But another snake came and ran at me.
I had just enough time to put the children underneath me and a breath of acid hit me on my back and flank. My flesh was burning and my scales were falling off. I fired a powerful magic missile that pierced his tail and wounded him hard enough to retreat.
The knights shouted victory, but I was in a very bad way. My back was flailing and I fell to my knees, then the children moved aside and I slumped to my side, defeated! My breath was gasping. I was in metabolic shock due to the pain! The adrenaline of the fight was gone and all the pain came over me at once! I lost consciousness!
-------OCTAHEDRON -----
-------AND CRITICAL-----
------COMA INDUCED -------
Siegfried saw my condition and said: He was braver than I thought! He sacrificed himself for the children! I admire this dragon! I have changed my opinion of him!
Arma and the doctors arrived and they looked at my wounds and they looked pale!
Water to wash the wounds, it's not a dragon, it's a knight! He's one of us! they all shouted together!
Buckets and alcohol in large quantities were deployed to wash my wounds.
They bandaged my neck and legs and built a shelter where I had fallen.
Burn poultices were put on my back and a ladder was put on my wing but it was lost. They had to amputate my left wing because of gangrene.
My back had no more scales but a thin scarred skin.
I was a wreck!
I regained consciousness 3 months later and I was confused by the anesthetic drugs and screamed in terror when I saw my stump instead of my left arm (leg). and my scales, my beautiful scales on my back, gone and this horrible break in my neck, it had a crease. My neck was twisted!
NO, it's not possible! I'm not going to stay like this!
I started to cry and Arma came with Siegfried who had a red complexion:
"Marc, listen to me-good! Even if you are hurt, even if you are missing a piece, you were a hero!
You fought against 2 dragons and an army of Goths and you saved the kingdom. You are a knight but the king will ennoble you and give you an exceptional title for having saved his descendants and repelled Fire Mordred!
You have nothing more to fear. All the dragons are dead! Only you and your two in-laws are left waiting for you!
Me: Siegfried, you killed them too? and I'm the next one????
Siegfried: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA: Of course not!
They asked me to suffocate them so that they would go into forced hibernation.
You're in no condition right now. You have to get your strength back first. And eat Fafnir's heart, or bite it!
Me: That's cannibalism!
Let me die or kill me, I beg you, I don't want to stay like this!
Wait, we made you a metal prosthesis for walking. You won't fly anymore but you can always be our gluttonous knight.
For your back, we made you a beautiful stuffed stitch like for horses and with beautiful draperies! And for your neck, the queen herself has knitted you a beautiful scarf to thank you.
Come, I will help you put on your prosthesis.
It looks like a rooster's foot with claws, but it's okay! I stood up and hobbled and the grooms gave me a nice wash.
I was served food and then I entered the hall of the castle, I couldn't go any further, considering my size. The king and the queen, flanked by their children, welcomed me with the other deserving knights.
This time I was put in first place and I was knighted Count of Nordie and candidate for the court. This meant that I could try my luck with the nobility for an arranged marriage for the territories and even make jousts and get more titles as all the nobles could do. I was a full-fledged nobleman and my descendants had the right to inherit my noble lineage. I was given new badges and was entered in the great book of heraldry. I became part of history.
So I had a canton of Comté and I was eager to turn it into an epicurean center and to produce cheese, wine and honey. I was entitled to my own castle as well. I thanked the king and was surprised that Jormungand was killed by Siegfried and had become immortal.
The feast,
The banquet and the children who were grateful but scared by my terrible injuries.
They were embarrassed and made me feel guilty! They didn't dare approach me anymore and I was sad about it.
Arma slept with me and then I told her about Tiamat in the darkness and about my mission. But I didn't want to betray or contaminate Arma whom I adored like a mother to me!
I told her all my secrets and she kissed me and said: "Let it be, it's a tongue massage.
She contaminated herself. But she respected my age, at least mentally!
Then she said: Drink Tiamat's potion, I trust you! You are loving and I know that you will stay yourself. And I drank the potion intended for Arma.
At that moment, I fell into the abyss and Alma saw that I disappeared into the cushions, swallowed by the vacuum and she scratched the fabrics. impossible to find me. Then she felt all weird and sank into the shadows and wanted to make up for it but her hands went through the floor like a ghost.
