So we turned over the whole swamp, the scree and the mass graves, and each time the sky opened up and my infinite mana filled the holes, the bones and the flesh. Then came the monstrotanks and the tall humans.

Within days, I had an army in front of me. All asleep and recovering their strength.

It was all moaning and groaning and some thought the battle was on but when they saw me they were reassured.

Blackthorne was frightened by my almost divine power. I was like an army with an infinite number of soldiers. If one died, the other would take his place and so on until the enemy was totally exhausted.

Only having sex reassured him.

Then I went to rest in my lair/caisseau.

On a giant screen I could see the Teth interface and I opened a channel to the rebels.

I was slumped over on my throne, one elbow on the armrests and my back pressed against the armrest opposite, my tail hanging like a vine from the floor. It swept over everything in front of me and from my throne, I was at a height of around 20 metres and 40 for my head. I overlooked the great black hall, with a crowd of montrotanks and wivernes in the background, as well as humans, some happy to be back in their childhood, others furious to be back.

Gorki was in his Teth, surrounded by other wyverns and wild wyverns transformed by lycanthropy.

He was horrified to see that I had grown fivefold and had 5 heads. My aura was overwhelming and I didn't look easy.

"GORKI! I know you can hear me!"

Gorki :" ---!"

As far as I know I'm still "Mother" and now I want you to come home.

There's going to be a draconic council and I've reconstituted the whole Chaos army."

Gorki "Daathr.. You're living in the past, in your world. Face it, you've been defeated by the Talmors and the vampires!. You're about to suffer the same fate."

I frowned.

"I see that your cowardice has allowed the enemy and the godless gods to have my children killed. But I will not let that happen. By the way, where were you at the time?--- ah I see, you were with the Talmors."

Gorki "I. I ... that's not true, I was"

"Stop. Enough lies and excuses!"

"You're mad! The Gods are up in arms against you and are preparing a punitive expedition. You've broken taboos, you're a necromancer, you've taken from the afterlife what was never meant to return! You are depriving them of reincarnation! You are damned!"

"Gorki... my little Gorki... No, they are now my first infernal legion. If they die, they return to Faerune! To my lava palace in hell and then they can come back, again and again and again!"

Gorki: "Daathr... you're a monster!"

Then I stared into his eyes.

"Since I'm a monster in your eyes, then I'll act like one!

Tell your masters to release Blue and the other tortured men immediately or else".

Gorki interrupted me: "Or else What!??? What are you going to do?"

I stood up immediately, anger on all my faces:

"I'm going to beat the shit out of all of you! And the rebel wyverns, I'm going to blow them up and re-fire them a hundred times if I have to, until they're nothing but a pile of tears begging for mercy!

"Gorki: We have weapons specially made against you and you will regret it!"

I looked interested.

Then I frowned.

"Gorki : GET DOWN"

But I received a horrible reply.

"Daathr, you're nothing but a chimera and a bunch of losers" Then he sent me an atrocious image.

"The real you...the original...it's with me, it's with us..."

And I saw on the screen ... me, in dracoliche.

Gorki: "This is the real Daathr... the immortal... and your monster on wheels won't make any difference. But if you're talking about an army... I've got an army of wyverns with modern weapons! And if you get the idea of using your devourer weapons, Daathrr, the real one, will know what to do."

Me: "You've signed your death warrant, Gorki... I'll have no more mercy! Children or not, I'll bathe in your blood and resurrect whoever I want and however I want!"

Gorki: "You're forgetting that the gods and the whole of Talmor are with me now, especially the Lord vampires... You can't imagine their power."

I lowered my voice, "Gorky, why? We had everything to be happy and rebuild everything! I wanted to save our culture and give it to everyone and give this world back the freedom it deserves... why?"

"You live in denial and the illusion of a lost world. You're crazy and your demon Lord wasn't hidden. We knew where you were and it was a prison you threw yourself into. You're naive and you wallow in defeated monsters like yourself. You've slept too long and you've gone senile. Go back to your pit and don't come out again. This world doesn't need you.

I'm going to make it shine in true glory and I'm going to bring light and technology, except that all you'll bring is death and darkness.

Your acts of resurrection are necromancy. You are a true monster. You defy death and the gods."

I cut the connection, which was beginning to depress me. That bloody Gorki was beginning to give me doubts but I could feel Tiamat's rage and hatred inside me.

I had to let my anger explode and show them a show of strength.

I turned to Blackthorne and asked.

"Do you have the coordinates for the Teth?"

Blackthorne, standing in front of a console and a command sphere between his paws, and facing a huge screen with a light green background.

"There's a powerful shield, our weapons will be useless."

I smiled.

I had access to Tiamat's powers and neither Gorki nor the other gods knew anything about it.

One of Tiamat's terrible powers was 'Major Wish', which she could use once a day. But with her powers depleted, it was impossible, except that with me, I had a source of Infinite mana.

"Darling, use the Rail gun and put explosive runes on it".

Blackthorne / Imperator looked at me and smiled.

He pressed the button and from my base a powerful blast shook all the cliffs, which lost even more rocks.

"Major wish": "Cancel the Teth shields".

FIRE!
