I am Olga and I live in the village at the river. My uncle is running a sawmill and my mother is living with her brother. My dad is in the city as a guard and comes back once a month for 4 days.
The I have a cousin and her little brother. We play always near the river. This is the berry season and there are many in the forest. I loves them but it's better when in a pie or marmalade made by mum and aunt. Vicky is at the river but most of the berries have been taken by the other children and I have a spot full of them at the border of the forest. sometimes there are wolves but they never comes this side. Until something is perturbing them.
Tralallalla, as I sing like the birds.
Also, I always take the small paths because there are drunk bandits sometimes. but they don't aggress us because they know we are poor and we strive to live here. Hopefully there are plain fishes here.
I am climbing the path and there are stone stair made by our ancestors.
The legend says there are Dwemers and their race is extinct. They left treasures behind them but the curse they left us are the wyrms. They are bloody creatures and they hunt humans for their flesh. Hopefully they are not very smart but somes cam spit fire, other ice and some acid. They life in nest in communities and the most dangerous are the rogue ones, banished or leaving their community. They hunt animals indistinctly from humans. Some are stupid enough to attack cities and when they survive, they got experience enough to attack villages like us. Some are joining to ravage our life. Then we have to call dragon hunters to find their nest and kill them with their eggs.
Some royalties have submitted Wyrms and are riding them. I never saw one but they are very strong. The rider is always stronger than the wyrm. The wyrm don't loves back his rider but fear him/her.
As I was lost in my toughs I hear a GROOOAAAAARRR not far from here.
FEAR
PANIC
NOoooooo
There is a Wyrm here. I'll never get the time to go back home.!!!
If the wyrm sees me along the river, She will pick me and devour me.
I have to run to the forest, there I have maybe a chance. I have more chances against wolves than a wyrm with their excellent eyesight's
Ha
HA
Ha I run to the forest.
I see the Wyrm turning around ! She is huge, with horns and green scales.
Hah, there is a cave there , I am saved. I drop my berries
and I hear in the far in the direction of our village, the alert horn blow.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
OOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
It means all villager must enter the fortified area of the village. This is used when there is fire or bandit attack or when the Lord or official is coming visit the village.
Our Village has a inn, with rooms for the traveler , a blacksmith and a sawmill and a general store. Other are hunter house, spice and flower and potion merchant and farmers an shepherd.
As I reach the cave, 2 big black wolves are barring my way. nooo. So I turn back to flee and there are 2 at my back.
I try to flee on the right near the tree but a fifth was there guarding.
I am done!
I sort my horn to call for help and I take my knive :
OOOOOOUUUU
OUUUUUUUUU
But the noise of my horn is covered by the village horn, bigger . The villagers will never know I am here.
I will finish like a lamb or a deer!!
I start to cry and submit, maybe they will spare me???
A fire, yes, a fire, let's start a fire.
Ah,,I panick as they are growling and I can smell their fetid jaw smell. I drop the stones and I crawl to get them and I am welcome by a snarl
I shout HELLPP HELLP NO PITY DON'T EAT ME.
Suddenly the sky is dark and I hear FLAP FLAP FLAP.
And the Wyrm land on the wolves, making them flee.
I am now alone in front of the Wyrm.
My last hour is here.
She will gulp me in 1 or two times? Will it hurt? Surely!
SOB
SOB
PISS ON MYSELF.
Then the wyrm who shower her back is turning her Big head in front of me.
She is mumbling something, maybe a curse ot how to eat me and and
My fear disappeared. I was ready to be eaten.
I'll be courageous as the girl of Thorin an Hannah. I get up and face the wyrm.
I put my arms in a cross and close my eyes, waiting the fatidic moment.
and
and.
SLURP.
I am in the mouth? no?
The wyrm has licked me!!
And the smell is like flower?
Her snout is against my belly and I can see her in her eyes.
Then A voice, a singing voice, no music is coming from the wyrm !
I like music
I slowly pose my hand on the wyrm and start to pet her.
She closes her eyes and start to purr!
Then she lay completely on the ground, me not moving.
Maybe she is kind?
Mr. Wyrm?? I ask
Then She opens her eyes and a voice is coming from the neck of the wyrm.
"Hi Child! Don't fear me as I don't eat humans. I am glad to have rescued you! The wolves here are very dangerous! is it normal they attack humans?"
Olga :"you you can speak?"
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
------------POV Wyrm---------
Me"? yes I can speak. I was human like you before and I still likes humans. I have also human children I protect."
Olga:"But the wyrms are savage and eat humans. They don't speak and are stupid. The dragonslayers are hunting them for the meat, hide and scales. Some coward wyrms are ridden by knights but it's a legend. The wyrms are living in the mountains in community and we never go there as they will eat us."
Me: "I am not like them. I come from a very very far land with humans and many many childrens orphans. Our land has been destroyed and we had to flee by ship. You see the 3 points in the sky? yes there, they are flicking. I descent from these points. They are no start, they are ships for sky navigation."
I am a dragon now and all dragon can speak to any creature. You know?
Don't speak to the village about me. They will fear me and they will hurt themselves trying to catch or kill me. And I don't want this to happens.
I will chase all other wyrms from the area so you can be at ease and I will chase the wolfs also. So you can takes as many fruits as you want. As you have been a courageous little girl, I'll give you a present. a sweet. you can share with your friends. don't show to adults.
There is a paper around. don't eat the paper and take it off. This is chocolate bar. It is sweet and all the children I take care can have them. I have all type of sweets.
In the past, I was taking charge of orphans at a temple.
Olga : "You were working in a temple?"
me: "Yes, and the temple was called Church"
Olga : " we have also a shrine in our village and we are planning to build a temple but it cost money and time and we have not enough people to do it."
Me :"I can build a temple If you want. Just draw me on the dirt and sketch and I will do it for you."
I want to be friend with your village and I am looking for a place to make a village with temple, workshop and a school.
Olga: " A school? but only nobles can go there!! Are they nobles.?"
Me: "Where I come from, there were no more nobles, only in title. All children are equals and all goes to school. and the poor are taken in charge by the state to help them."
Olga: "it must have been a nice place."
Me: "Yes it was, until the war has destroyed all" We are the last of them.
Now go, your mother must be afraid! I'll sleep not far from here. If you want to meet me again, put a fire here and place humid leaves, It will makes smoke.
Olga: "What is your name?"
Me: "Daraann the nun! and I put my veil on my head and my cross"
Olga: " Oh a cross, like in the temple !!"
Me: Bye, be carefull my small child !
---------------------------Olga POV ----------------------
Hah, hah, I am happy!
I am happy and ALIVE
THANKS MS WYRM!
I have a Wyrm friend!
I have a Wyrm present ! She said Choko LAT? SHoko LET?
I 'll test with my cousin and my friends
As I run the path, I hear OLGA ! OLGA: Where are you?
I blow the horn so they can hear it.
BUUUU
BUUUOOH
Mother Hannah :" Oh my dear, where were you? We were very afraid for your safety. Your cousin and her brother have run back quickly without you. They said you where in the border of the forest. But we have seen the Wyrm turning around the village. we don't know when she will attack but now we must take shelter.
Where were you? And what is this smell? It is like flower soap! Where have you been again??
We run to home but I was not In a hurry. So my mum was pulling me like crazy until we reach the fortified wall of the village.
The wall was going from the river to the stone hill .
The village was protected by the hill and the river and the back by a bridge. The name of the village was Haute Rive.
Hannah, at table serving soup and vegetables and some rabbit stew as meat was a noble privilege.:
"Explain why you were so late and not killed by the wyrm. The wyrm was just over the zone you were and it would have eaten you 100% sure."
Olga,very sad :" I was fleeing to the forest to take shelter under the trees and to the old bear cave. We know there is no more bear here so It was my chance."
Hannah: "good, next!"
Olga :" Then I was surrounded by black wolves . 5 in total. I had no chance of escape and I dropped the fire stones by fear and I piss myself!" There was no tree available and the wolves were jumping at me and I called for help with the horn! but your horn was used and you cannot hear me. So I started to cry an shout for help and pity.
Then the wyrm has landed between me and the wolves. The wolves have fled.
The wyrm was singing a nice music and turned her head and spoke to me."
HAnnah:"A wyrm spoke?, impossible" The wyrms are savage monsters, smart, not stupid but no intelligent."
Olga : "Trust me: the wyrm spoke and she told me she was human like me before and she takes care of children, orphan children. She told me she comes from ship in the stars and one of her ship is one of the 3 blinking death stars. She told me she is chasing the wolves and all other wyrms. and she will protect our village.
She has given me a present because I was courageous. she tell me to eat this. She told me we can melt it, make it in powder or eat it like that. The name is shok-o-late. There is a paper box to open it like this: This is very good. I was hungry and I tasted it.!
Hannah: no, you know the priest has deemed these stars the stars of death and the evil was so strong it has even beaten the gods. We are all waiting our destruction from these stars.
Olga: "But mum there are no stars, they are ship and the light are the many torches she said and also she said she was working in a Temple as a nun and The wyrm has a veil and a gold cross at her neck."
Hannah: a Dwemer symbol. Their religion is lost and only ruin shrine are still mentioning them.
Olga: Don't go there again. and don't eat that, maybe it's cursed. I am happy you are alive and you are not eaten but don't speak to adults, specially the priest.
---------------Hannah POV --------------------
Poor child. If she said is true, we are facing a danger immense. From the forest, the sky, the gods and the priest.
Let's taste the wyrm tablet : mmmh this is good. But it seems the poison is sweet?
Ok let's try with the pie and berries.
After a while, she takes the first ever made chocolate pie.
The smell was strong and very appealing.
Some neighbor asked what recipe I was doing.
The family jumped on the pie and asked for more but the shok-o-late ingredient was the main one. Missing. All I see of effect is the people were less stressed, like relaxed.
Maybe we can trade with this creature? Flowers? spices? berries? I'll ask her first and not let the children. this is too dangerous. I want to see by myself a kind wyrm??
So I take nuts, spices and berries in a coffer and put it on my back.
So the next morning, The horns were again blow, as they spotted on the old guard tower the wyrm. Lower In the valley, there is a big bridge and a tower on it. There is a guard there and he blows if he spots a wyrm. There are different sounds.
During the rush to take cover, I go to the place Olga was. But as I go there, a crack in the forest showed me Olga was following me.
Hannah : "What are you doing here?? It's dangerous!. Yes, this is my friend Darann they have spotted."
Comes and hide here so the wyrm cannot see us. we have to go back it's too dangerous!"
Me(the Wyrm) : "TOO LATE! I AM HERE BEHIND YOU!"
Hannah : "nooo this was not a lie!! there is a wyrm here. OLGA, run for your life, your mum loves you"
Me CAST REMOVE FEAR
Me "Hello Olga mother! I don't want any harm. My name is Darann. I am a priest and I trust in God! I live with humans and chidren and because I am the stronger I come here first to meet people of this country." We are searching a refuge and I want to make trade with the peoples here. I will protect this territory from menaces as wolves and other Wyrms"
Hannah: "how do you speak?"
Me: "I was human like you and I have a human family. My body is changed, not my soul, not my mind, not my heart. I love humans and It is my duty to protect them. The wyrm form my country are mostly ex-humans and the new borns have still human intelligence. Your wyrms looks like feral beasts. and the wild life is very aggressive toward you, humans! This was not the case in our world. The "
Hannah" Your World? FEAR? You are from the death world??? from the death stars who have killed our god of sun?"
Me: "We comes by ships. our ship ride the sky! There is no death star. Here is a drawing of our ship.
Here is a drawing of our ship [https://img.wattpad.com/63e4e6b334b5b3bdc3a1641df254311c5b7c2104/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f6e476b63626258674762416d5f413d3d2d3634383133303131342e313536323133656564343838326165653938373533353431333232352e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Oh it's like a big city.
Yes this is a floating city, a floating castle.
Your god has attacked us without reason and we have defended ourself. The god was not killed, It was a nice golden haired girl with a nice dress in white and some red on it.
The girl has fled to the sun, pouting she cannot kill us. but we have not hit her. Only her magic was not working on us.! We asked some blessings and proposed to help her but she was probably too shy for this. A young goddess.!!
FEAR
FEAR
PROSTRATION
Hannah:" Please spare us o Great Wyrm, You are stronger than our god and we'll make a temple to calm your anger"
Me :"Stop your soap comedy! I think Olga want to play! I have some toys here. Here Olga, take it, this Is a doll princess. you can make music by pressing her back and she can dance and fly. Just pose her on the palm of your hand and let her jump in the air. she will follow your hand. up for up and down for down. Don't play near fireplace or river or high trees. You can brus her hairs and wash her dress with water.
Olga : ohhh mum, look the nice doll. She is so real, so pink, she looks like a real princess.
Me: "She is the princess Barbie and her country is the land of fae"
Olga: "Thanks Ms Wyrm"
Hannah"Ms.? you are female?"
Me: "Yes, and we can talk hours about dress and robes and how to knit and cut them if you want. I am sorry I can't do shopping with you . HAHAHA"
Hannah:" Hannah, My name is Hannah. May I touch your paw?"
Me: Of course. But if I shake your hand, the whole body will be shaken HAHAHAHA"
Hannah: "haha"
Hannah :" do you have more of this Shokolate?"
Me: "Chocolate? yes, there how much do you want?"
Hannah" no, I want to trade. I have spices, honey, meat, berries an nuts"
Me: I take all! I like them! I have a sweet tooth! ok I will give you animals we raise in our world.
Pigs : They are eating all dirt and what all other animals don't eat. They got fat and ALL inside can be eaten. Just smoke the meat or bake it and there will not be problem. Just don't eat raw meat. this is dangerous. They grow faster than your deer and can give you fortune. The meat is delicious. I miss them so much!!
here is a couple of piglets. When they are bigger than you, make them breed and start the production.
Hah yes, here is your chocolate.
Hannah: "is there a drug or poison in the chocolate? "
me: no : there are milk, mixed with a cocoa nut. The nut is baked and reduced in powder.Then we add sugar, like honey and it removes the bad taste. We mixt them and when the honey is dry, you have chocolate. you can melt it and it is better with egg cream , honey and nut . You can also freeze it in a moss and . Arrhghh this is delicious.
So Hannah and Olga are descending he hill to the river and run like nothing to the village.
She has then installed a small barn for the piglets to live. the elders and neighbor have never seen an animal making OINK OINK
And adventurer who passed there told Hannah it remind him of Orc child. but the orcs were green and the pig is pinK.
OINK
OINK!
