In his castle the prince was going around in circles.

Marise had stayed with them not being able to see Tania play the Zergs again.

To everyone's surprise she went down to the buffet, everyone believing she was with Tania.

Andromedius had arrived with his protégés late last night, aboard a light transport chariot.

When they saw Marise, they said "Ah...".

Altus: "Aren't you with the other dragon?"

Marise: "I feel safer here... Tania is crazy. She's a war machine that lives only for this. And the Zergs she pulled out of I don't know where the bullies of the universe are.

Tania is most dangerous when her eyes are spinning and shining. It's the voices that influence her.

She is banished in fact and she has to heal her mind. I once tried to murder her but failed because of the smell of a tear...."

The prince was dark but happy to have a sincere ally.

Isolde: "Do you think her feelings are sincere?"

Marise: "I'm sure she does. She is in emotional distress and only true love will allow her to get back to normal. She loved her friend madly, even transformed, even more I think. Ivan's rejection was devastating for her. She doesn't show it, but she is broken by grief. She almost never cries, at least she doesn't show it, and that's where her voices come from.

But they're not all voices, she has an army in her body and that makes her even crazier."

Altus:" How big is her "army"?

"A thousand squadrons, I think."

But in addition, she has two infernal legions, and her instructor is a vulture demon. I forgot his name. "Vulture?Viltus. Something like that...The Lord of change..Tzeentch. A master of bully. A true chaoting evil being. I piss on myself when I see him afar."

Altus: "Sorry for you, but we invited the devil to our table.

There's nothing left to do but pray..."

Marise: "Be also careful, Tiamat and the Zergs have exterminated all the celestial gods...all of them, without exception.... You should pray to Tiamat to spare yourself...

If provoked, I don't give much of your gods...

The humans began to cry.

"Marise, help us..."

Andromedus: "What happened to banish her?"

Marise: "She hit the foster mother of ivan, who wanted to kick her out after she influenced the dragon's little brother,

She said that the evil baron would come in her dreams and how to arrange his soldiers in a toy base. But the most horrible thing is her saliva... She can turn humans into dragons like a werewolf. She is a primordial Alpha.

She's the one who bit me and made me this way. It's true that she has a good heart but it was to save me from being raped and killed by the Zerg troops.

She became a general by defying the other generals in the arena after slaughtering the other candidates. Then the Baron threw his right-hand man Baast into the arena to prove his worth. He had tanks and elite equipment but she crushed everything like paper and ate the general like an aperitif. She took his place and has been crazy ever since. She has drugged herself and with this poison she is able to distort the space around her and go wherever she wants instantly.

"What prevents her from using this power is Tiamat who watches over her. "

Altus said, "We invited the devil to our table."

Marise said, "Help her in her mission and all will be well. She takes care of your enemies and when she's done, they'll all go away. She always keeps her word, I know her.

And you, Isolde, be very careful with your humanity.

Look at me...well... Becoming a dragon is painful. How many times have I asked to be finished.

It's only been a month since I began my transformation."

"Is it true that you don't age anymore and that you have mana ad infinitum?"

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Marise: "What is certain is that you have a 50% chance of dying... For me it's when everything is ruined but otherwise, it's madness.

9 times out of 10 people try to hunt you, you have to live hidden, holed. and even on earth, where you live in peace, if you leave your region, idiots and secret societies send hunters for my capture. They fail and get arrested, but after a while it starts again.

Everything is amplified... tastes, smells, bad smells, and pain too.

And then the instincts of the raptor. They are crazy.

Being dragonified by another kind of dragon is better in the worst. For my part, a golden dragon shed his blood during my transformation into a raptor dragon to spare me from madness and blood rage and especially to keep me sane. And later, to be able to transform myself back into my lost self.

It's not sure that you'd keep all your sanity if Tania transformed you and there's no nice golden dragon nearby and I don't want to try, I'm trying to keep what little humanity I have left".

Isolde lowered her head. "You're a nice dragon. Well, I like you."

Marise: "I'm happy to be alive and now I'm enjoying my new body but I would never want to do it again."

Altus: "Very interesting what you're telling me here. We're going to help you, but please go back to where you came from..."

Marise promised the prince to do everything to get Tania to leave.

Then Altus asked his wise men to learn as much as possible from the "visitors", especially in land management, crop improvement, food conservation and anything that could improve the daily life of his people.

Weapons not being his thing, the pontiff's wisdom dictated to him to avoid as much as possible a military escalation. Weapons always ended up in the two opposing camps.

Then he ordered that temples be opened in Tiamat to lessen her wrath against humans.

Many did not understand but a conclave took place between the different religious leaders and Altus showed the images of the celestial beings and their annihilated nations and the world of Ethernia ravaged by wars and the Zerg apocalypse.

His recommendation to his subordinates and fellow believers of other religions was to pray that they would not turn against humans. Even if it was the destroyed world, and parallel to the real world. It was their world, with its history and its peoples.

This land "2" had the right now to exist and to build its history.

They prayed that Tiamat or other powerful monsters would not force them to emigrate to normality and destroy this world more than it is.

Meanwhile, Tania guided the directing of operations.

A huge mobile construction structure was deployed, followed by a crystal processing plant to convert the crystals into power and fuel.

A mobile collector was also part of the kit.

The vehicle resembled a Caterpillar super bulldozer with an elevator to reach the cabin, which resembled a ship deck rather than a truck driver's cab.

The whole thing looked vaguely like a harvester and vacuum cleaner.

Designed to withstand the attacks of the big drakes, it goes without saying that it is indestructible. And the smart guy who would try to climb it would be immediately electrocuted. Sand Drakes must be kept at a distance.

Ah yes, a big drake can reach 200 meters long.

Then the barracks, where the men can rest and eat.

Another structure out, a vehicle shed.

The ground was shaking non stop. It was like an earthquake that didn't stop. The vibrations were reaching the castle, with only a few kilometers to go.

The castle being in a green valley with palm trees, the configuration having changed in 10,000 years, the base was surrounded by sand and dunes and, of course, precious Iberium.

The desert and the precious minerals being linked, the Iberium progressing and devouring what is alive. Only the sand remained, hence the dunes.

Afterwards, when the Iberium had disappeared, the vegetation could grow again.

The walls were erected, very high, topped with turrets and automatic firing systems.

Then the heliport was extracted.

Enormous machines capable of transporting tanks were placed on their respective sites.

One of the freighters rose in a deafening noise and lifted one of the enormous collectors, to deposit it in the field of crystals [https://img.wattpad.com/8e074fe5165dd803891685ed9dbaa63a09df995d/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f6661454341584f476270617074673d3d2d3936383132363138382e313633656361323035633236653730623432353336393436373232312e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]

One of the freighters rose in a deafening noise and lifted one of the enormous collectors, to deposit it in the field of crystals.

Reactors, small Iberium power plants were waiting for the precious ore to supply energy to this small world.

Altus heard all this noise from his throne and decided to go and see for himself.

Mentats who were with Andromedius called an Chopper to take his majesty away.

Mentat: "A vehicle will come to get you, a flying coach."

The prince, overwhelmed by all this madness and terrified that this world would come and slaughter them.

Humans were terrified, many sought refuge in the castle.

What blocked the accesses and any exit was impossible.

The gates were lowered.

The castle was not on alert and could not accommodate all these people immediately.

It was chaos. Even the soldiers and knights wanted to flee.

A chopper arrived, a kind of helicopter and autogyro with vibrating wings. like insects, giving it flying comfort but also unequalled performance in maneuverability and speed.

Tania arrived flying beside the vehicle.

The king, terrified: "What is this witchcraft?"

Tania: "It's mechanical, there is no magic. I come from a world 12,000 years more evolved than this one... We didn't stay with swords and horses... students and researchers have invented all this stuff.

And then to slaughter hordes of orcs, demons, rebellious dragons in an unknown world, that's what it takes. I'm not going to exterminate 60 million orcs and barefoot goblins. I have a mission to finish, and I'm not going to take 100 years to get them all, right?"

The cockipit opened and, next to the pilot, Isolde smiled at her first flight: "MAJESTY, It's great, come with me! The scenery is beautiful and you can see the whole base and more....Alban, her little brother was torn between fear and the desire to see his sister laughing at his cowardly laziness".

He took his courage.

"Marise, can you fly?"

Marise: "I'm a beginner..."

Alban: "I'd rather have a nice debutante than a scary metal thing."

Marise: "Do you want to ride on my back???? Do you want to ride on my back?"

Alban: "Yes, I didn't dare to ask you...besides it's humiliating...isn't it?"

Marise: "Asked like that, no. Do you want to become my friend?"

Alban, blushing, "You're a nice girl as a dragon".

"Thank you, but I'm looking forward to having more powers...3

Alban: "Why?"

Marise:" But to become human again... it's not easy... It's enhanced illusion magic. "

Alban: "You reassure me. But what are you going to do? With Tania, who is building an infernal army."

Marise: "Believe me, I know the demons lord and their army is fearsome... We can have bad surprises, the orcs are predictable and constant but it is what we don't see that is dangerous. But I don't share her methods at all. I will stay with you to protect you. If she sinks into madness again, it will take everything I have to stop her."

Unconsciously, Alban caressed Marise's neck, which did not go unnoticed by the dragon.

She laughed and took off to Alban's surprise.

"We're going to try to get there before they do. Shall we race?"

Alban did not answer, frozen by the spectacle and the height.

He squeezed the neck of the dragon with all his strength to prevent it from slipping.

"If you fall, I'll catch you."
