Tiamat was like a rabid dog at the sight of me.

His huge teeth were against my necks and I didn't dare to move,

I wanted to open an eyelid a little and a dull growl, the snubbed chops knocked against my neck, making me bleed a little. The head bent its teeth back, tasting my blood at the same time.

In the darkness one could see an imposing colossus crushing a miniature of itself.

The hydra made the air and the ground tremble.

Everyone could feel its power, its aura, its anger.

My eyes were closed, curled up in a square lined with arches and corridors.

I trembled and groaned, and like any submissive animal, I showed my belly, my weak spot in total submission before my judge and executioner.

Her voice was like cannons or bombs coming out of the organ pipes of hell.

Yes, she alone showed what hell was.

Black wind radiated around her.

The rock was heated in places as if it were a volcano.

From its 100 meters high, there was no comparison.

"GRRRRRRRRRRRR" Poisse! You still have 50 years of hell to go through. It was only postponed. I was furious about Marc when you took refuge under his wing. If he forgave you for the little ones, I didn't..."

But Dany: "She died sacrificing herself for the dragons! She was gutted to death!"

Mom: "It's my child, my darling... Please... She is nice!

Tiamat sniffed my blood.

I was trembling, lying on the ground, waiting for the terrible judgment of the goddess.

Tiamat: "Also... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I am jealous that you have the child of Oriharukon! Where is he?"

I: "Please, Goddess, take my life but spare the child."

"Your life is worthless."

Dany implored. "For us if! She is more important than anything else. She is our friend. At school too, we are all her friends."

The hydra looked at the boy. "You just took away my desire to kill her....But I have to kill her..."

Rosette: "Please, take me in her place..."

"No, Mama!"

In a superhuman or super-serpentine effort, I managed to get out of her paw and I faced her.

"Run away while I hold her!"

Tiamat smiled from her five heads.

"Finally, I see a dragon!"

I cried: "Goodbye, I love you, protect Victoria!"

Tiamat turned to catch the fugitives, but I held her by the leg with all my strength.

Tiamat stopped.

"You have passed your test, Poisse... I see a dragon, a snake that has transcended itself."

"I am sorry but I come as a Conqueror.!"

She still sees me lying on my stomach, my black head raised but the other 4 bent to the ground, lifeless, finally like sleeping limbs.

Then, like thunder, Tiamat looked at me with her 5 heads, surrounding mine.

"MPPHHHH! Shit, I have to, but I don't want to kill you anymore."

Mom came back with Dany to console me.

I cried in terror, like a little girl who couldn't find her way back.

They had never seen me like this before, except when I said my way of thinking about Viseron.

The Tiamat was pacing around me like a cake to be devoured.

She was sniffing me.

Mhh. How appetizing you are.

Arggh. I don't know what's holding me back.

"Lord Tiamat, why do you hate me so much?"

"The great hunt!"

Me: ???????

"You are defeated! and the Tiamats devour the losers! But I see a baby Tiamat. I also have my pride, but what stops me is that you are truly human! and so am I!"

I didn't dare interrupt her, my life hanging by a thread.

"As you see, I can bend space and dimensions and we live in a complex of parallel universes. Identical lands exist at the same time and some are staggered in the past and present.

The funny thing is that creatures have parallel existences. Like Bishops, Danys, Rosettes. You exist in several worlds at the same time.

There are other destinies, but the purpose is the same. You had the cataclysm in this world, in the world of Tiamat the Infernal, you had a terrible war. The dead in the two worlds are equivalent. In mine, there were also deaths and wars. There were also several Tenets. Mine ended up pink with scales...

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

But the ultimate goal of these worlds, is the space-time continuum. We can change the past a little, or the future, but not much.

The worlds are like fibers constituting an indestructible rope.

A world is destroyed? It is reborn as the destroyed world. Which has, finally, only taken the place of another world that has come to an end.

For the clones and creatures that exist, dragons are exceptions. They are partly in the world of fibers and partly in the world of ropes...

That's why they are unique except for human avatars turned dragons.

There are several Mark's, but with different names, but at some point in their existence they have something in common. They were human.

But there is us. The Tiamats. We are the remnants of the foundation of humanity. One per universe. Normally, we shouldn't even be aware of each other.

But madness, rage and evil led us to meet and kill each other.

Maybe there are still others, but I doubt it.

Tiamat the evil has been fighting with Tiamat the infernal for centuries.

I am very young and I am being chased by Tiamat the infernal. But something has changed recently. I no longer recognize her. She is crazy too. She considers the devourers as Tiamat. She will bring the negative plan onto the universe if we don't stop her.

In fact, I no longer felt the strength and power of Tiamat the evil one.

I am Tiamat the Obsidian, the black one. But also the most human.

And when I see you, I want to devour you... Snakes are a plague but they are extinct. Only you are left. You are the last snake! I could end this species by eliminating you. But seeing you, I still want to believe. "Since a golden dragon has honored you with the power to bear children."

I nodded and Mom cried with fear.

"But my problem is you. You've become a Tiamat and you're just beginning to become and think like a dragon.

Do you have infernal troops? Why did you take the heads and what for?"

Me: "Please, Lord, take them away from me.... I am the little Poisse, I want to stay like this... Let us live in peace..."

Tiamat: "When you rip off a head, usually you die! Like chickens!"

"And you don't want to die, I hear"?

I nodded my head that I don't. Eyes closed and watery. I trembled non stop.

"How did you get the heads?"

"One a one... lightning. I touched my head to see if it was dead or not or if I could do something. Then I found myself on the floor crushed by the weight. And you came in..."

Tiamat: "I am beginning to understand.

I don't feel any paradoxical resistance coming from you. This allows me to "reclaim" this free zone for me to come and go. Normally, by killing Tiamat, one absorbs her powers and the remaining troops come to swell my infernal army.

Tiamat took me by the throat with one of her front paws. I too had my front legs separated from the wings. I was a Wyrme and here I am a draconis with 6 limbs plus 5 heads.

"I want to know everything about Blanche, what's left of Tiamat the Wrong One! EVERYTHING, I want to know EVERYTHING!"

Me: "Marc loves you but he doesn't know anything about your "Big Hunt"."

"He is a devourer. He's become like you but he merges in hydra with the dragons of his family. I didn't have that honor, I didn't have time.

His son murdered Tiamat with a time weapon, the ultimate weapon of the time masters. Blanche barely survived the attack from the future and allied herself with Mark to end it all. But her son, with the help of an elite agent, walking through time tried to assassinate Mark by sending him to another dimension, Blanche with it. Heads lost in space and time.

They reappeared before me."

Tiamat had tears in her eyes

"that's why dragons are disappearing everywhere!.... In my world, dragons hunted and devoured by humans come to take refuge near me. The celestial ones, the gods also took a loved one from me. The one and only Dragon Angel. My eternal love...."

Tiamat: "So Blanche is out of the game? Or is she waiting for her heads to grow back?"

Me: "I don't know, when the cataclysm came, they disappeared. They had to hibernate to welcome the next generation of humans and half-dragons. But we saved the earth but we were sacrificed. Trapped. But Bishop, our savior managed to turn our disintegration into a forced deportation 10,000 years into the future but in World B, the destroyed world.

I probably went there but my healed body came back here mixing with Sylvia."

Tiamat: "I see that you are brave and that you continue your mission.

I will help you. I too would like to have Marc's child!"

Your rights and clinging to this dimension and the fact that you are the last dragon of this world, the Idol had to transfer Tiamat's powers and heads to you.

You are not complete and you will suffer martyrdom now. But it is not I who will make you suffer.

You will be my eyes and hands in this dimension and I will show you the heavenly way when you are ready.

But the greatest danger is Tiamat the infernal. She has 60 legions, 60 million souls of monsters and damned from hell. She competes with the arch-demon. She is one of them.

I am not, but I have legions under my command. 20 legions.

And Blanche must have had 20 too, but since she has only one head left, it should be 2 or 4.

You, you should have 12 or 16. but I don't see anything... You are going to become a demon, an arch-demon!"

Me "No, please, I'm not the devil, I'm Sylvia... And I want to stay Sylvia for God's sake, for God's sake."

"Sylvia, you know, in my legions, I also have angels.... and archangels too. They have been freed from the eternal ice. I am neither angel nor demon, but I am me!

Remember, Sylvia, we are what we want to be!" The body is only a mean!

And, suddenly, the goddess took human form, A beautiful woman with black hair, black horns and a crocodile tail. She was dressed in a very stylish fur armor.

But it was her beauty that struck. More beautiful than a succubus. She approached Dany who tried to comfort me, to reassure me. "For a dragon hiding behind a human, it's pathetic."

We didn't wait for the rest of us and ran away.

With my heads back on my back, I cleared the rubble and we reappeared, me as Sylvia and Dany and Mommy safe and sound.

We hugged each other and ran away from the apartment, seeking comfort from David and his wife who were still working.

We sat on a terrace overlooking the ocean and Rosette cried, scared of the dragons and my misadventures.

She also cried for me, for my past, present and future hardships.

Luckily I had kept my human form but something had changed in me!

I now had 4 horns! 2 towards the back and 2 more towards the top, like an antelope!.

I had the same horns as Tiamat! in smaller sizes, symbols tattooed on my arms and lines up to my legs. It meant something but it was unknown.

Then I had something on my back... A tail like Tiamat!

The monster had evolved. Sylvia had taken a blow.

I concentrated to make these attributes disappear and after a few tries and sincere tears the tail disappeared and the horns diminished in size but it was there. I could still hide them with braids of hair around them.

Mom hugged me and I fell asleep from fatigue and from crying so much. I slept on the chair on the terrace.

David: "You should take her home...".

Rosette: "No, we're scared at the moment... We've all been very scared.

Then David looked over Rosette's shoulder, astonished but especially with his horned head...

"Can I sit next to you? I would like to have a drink! I am thirsty!

I am thirsty! Ah... My name is Obsi and I'm part of Sylvia's family...!"

Rosette was terrified.

Tiamat had followed them here.

She threw herself on her knees on the floor. Dany did the same.

I slept, stunned.

Tiamat to David "Is she always like this? carefree?"

Rosette : "David: Come on, get on your knees... she is a goddess!"

but before David could react, Tiamat had put her hand on his.

"Hello David... Stay seated, and ask Rosette to sit down again. I'm here in peace and you look good here."

After a few minutes, everything calmed down.

Then Obsi looked at me while talking to David. She must have had a hard time...while putting her fingers on my horns.

"What are humans like with her? "

David explained that she and Viseron were normal citizens and that the two dragons were de facto sentient and had the same rights as humans. All nations respected this right, especially after their sacrifice that saved the planet.

Then David explained the marina and its role in protecting the fauna and flora.

But he could feel the terror and pressure coming from the monster sitting in front of him.

He didn't realize the size and power of this creature.

Tiamat: "I have dragons, mostly children. They are orphans and traumatized. Some of them have been mutilated, their limbs cut off at the butcher shop for their meat.

I treated them physically but they are traumatized. They fear humans but where I come from people love dragons for their meat...

I would like to bring them back here. I would like to bring them back here. They need to find peace and a smile. They need a peaceful world, where they have rights and are loved and respected. If a snake could find peace and evolve, I am sure that children could find happiness again."

Dany : "But why the title of arch-demon?"

Tiamat : "It's the title my enemies give me. Where I come from, the dragons give me the title of angel for the dragons. I am a plague for the humans but an angel for the dragons, well, not for Tiamat or the snakes...."

So, David? "In this marina, will you welcome little dragons? You can even study them."

The man could only nod. He knew that this creature was something other than Sylvia.

If it had tamed Tenet and his clique, and exterminated mankind in another dimension.

There was no point in provoking another cataclysm.

He weighed the most and the least, and in the end, when he saw Syvia, they were after all just children seeking refuge.

David: "We have infrastructure and veterinarians. They are doctors in part and will be able to treat traumas."

Tiamat took David's hand and kissed him. "You think of the children before your profit and safety. Brave humans are rare. I particularly admire Dany. Sylvia is lucky to have a loving family."

Then Tiamat moved away and returned to her normal form.

It was then that David took the measure of the danger to which he had just exposed himself.

Never would he have imagined a nightmare monster of such a size.

He fell to his knees and his wife did the same.
