Savannah held Alice's hand. It wasn't possible, Mother couldn't be dead. She was tougher than that and a Regenerator.
She gripped Alice's hand tighter.
"Mother can't be dead! She's a Regenerator, a Reborn, a Dragon Angel, and she'd never abandon us...Gorky's going to drag you to your end!"
Alice looked down at the ground and watched the others line up with Gorky. She thought back to Savannah's words.
"Yet you hate Mother... why should you be right?"
Savannah: "I... no... I don't hate Mother... She saved me 2 times, more. I was stupid, guided by my anger, but she loves us, I can feel it... I was in her womb... just like you."
Alice reflected and felt non-rational emotions. Contradictory to logic.
"Savannah, my heart tells me you're right but my mind tells me you're wrong."
"Do what you want, Alice, I'm going after her. The Talmors are cruel, elitist beings who think only of their blood, nobility and titles. I know they torture Blue and many others. But Mother will find a solution. She's beaten powerful gods and she'll do it again."
Alice then smiled at Savannah.
"Yes, I'll give you a chance!"
Then Alice summoned the Monstrotanks Drakor, Excavator and the 3 Monstroships in wyvern form.
The others turned to Gorky and the 6 Wyverns returned to the baths to offer a mausoleum to the poor bard.
The others turned to Gorky and the 6 Wyverns returned to the baths to offer a mausoleum to the poor bard.
Savannah: "I'm sure Mother will be able to give the poor human back his life."
Alice: "It's against the will of the gods! "
Savannah: "How dare they!"
The friends mourned their musician friend but were afraid of the wyverns. Savannah explained that Mother had already practiced resurrection! Alice then blew gel to crystallize the human's remains.
Then they questioned the bards to find out what had really happened.
They learned that Carnivor had shot a half-human arrow into the heart of Diskor's boyfriend. Diskor was madly in love with him and even had his mother's blessing.
A fight ensued between the 2 Montrotanks in their brute form, Diskor having scarred Predator. Diskor then rushed in the direction Predator had taken, and Predator was heard roaring with the great dragon, followed by cries of pain and tears. Then everything disappeared.
Savannah: The canyon! Predator must have lost Diskor, who can't ride on vertical planes, and the river is torrential!
Alice: "I've got a bad feeling about this! The river is coming straight towards the territory of the Demon Lord and all his monsters!!!"
The Wyverns looked around and saw flashes of lightning and charred scales on the sand at the edge of the torrent. The walls were as high as the Vernon Gorge. Very high, with no access from the plateau overlooking the abyss.
Then Drakor shouted: "Come and see!
The wyverns landed and saw dragon paw prints, not wyvern ones! They were huge! Really huge, and with their height between 16 and 20 meters, the creature had to be at least 5 times their size!
Savannah: "You saw the prints!... And there's blood from... Mommy!! dried!." she sniffed.
The other wyverns rose to follow a desolate burnt area full of rocks. Surrounded by a sort of cliff cirque with a nameless horror at the bottom!
There were plenty of devoured wyvern skeletons... and others dried out and impaled on a horrible iron trough. A wailing tree.
The marks were repeated and the creature must have made wyverns a sort of snack!
The team quickly circled around to find traces of their wyvern mother.
Alice: "They seem to be wild wyverns, their skeleton is not the same as ours, which is made of carbon fibers. Mother wasn't part of the menu".
But immediately a murderous aura emanated from a corner raised several hundred meters, revealing an abyss descending into the bowels of the earth.
Savannah looked at Excavator... "You think so?"
Excavator: "The rock is hard and reinforced by infernal magic. I wouldn't be of any use and I can feel death at the bottom of this cave, this chasm.
Indeed, the wyverns were crushed by fear, a primal fear, a fear of the Wyvernus, eaten by the Draconis. In a way, they felt like prey facing ancestral predators. Draconis are European-type dragons, with 4 legs and 2 wings. And, above all, capable of magic and incantations.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Wyverns were animals. Well, not the ones from Earth and their descendants.
Alice: "I think we should get to safety and Excavator should be able to make a small gallery with a tiny hole to watch over the Chasm, that cave from hell. If we're captured or killed, who's going to save Mom?
So Excavator remained an observer.
A few hours later, the ground shook and large stones fell on Excavator, who was terrified.
A gigantic black figure appeared, and as if by corruption, with every step he took, the rock seemed to turn into Lava.
Then he roared, visibly angry... A very big anger...
Emperor Demon Lord:" RARRR, DAran!!! She's messing with my mind!" Then he sniffed and grinned.
"Little Wyverns!!!!!! I know you're out there!!!! And immediately his slitted eye met Excavator's terrified gaze, and he let go in terror."
The monster took a few steps towards the wyvern tree and snatched one of them in two with its horrible jaws. A horrible cracking sound was heard.
"Ahhh, you're underground. Well done. But I smell fear and terror!"
I heard the commotion outside and as I was untied, but still with the collar of submission, I rushed down the corridor as fast as I could, fearing something dramatic might happen.
I had to be gentle and make sure my little ones didn't end up as snacks!
Excavator started digging as deep as she could, letting the rock collapse and putting as much distance between her and the titanic dragon.
The dust was pulverized and the rocks moved, and the Emperor laughed. Wyverne Moles now. I'd have seen it all!"
Then he began to scrape, removing huge chunks of rock.
"Don't try to escape me!"
Seeing the demon lord digging, I immediately understood: "Excavator".
Then, inflating my lungs. "Lord Imperator!" I shouted.
"YOU! What are you doing here? You should be tied up!"
"Mother freed me, well, not entirely," pointing to the horrible ring around his neck.
Then he stopped what he was doing.
"Who gave you permission? "
Me: "Mother!"
Then he growled. "You have a forked tongue and you take advantage of it, but with me, it's a different story! And behave yourself, because the day I wear the crown is not far off!"
Me: "I can make you the most beautiful crown! with gems and powers you've never seen!"
Emperor: "We see where your powers end," laughed the giant monster. Then he turned to the gallery on display.
"It looks like you've got spies. You're smarter than I thought."
"They're my family. And Tiamat is my family too!"
Then Imperator began to roar and struck the rocky ground with his 2 paws, causing the wyverns' corpses to fall to the ground in a bloody crash of broken bones."
Then, the next instant, a howl shook the mountain.
"SON! YOU CAN WAKE ME UP ONE MORE TIME AND YOU'LL BE FUSED FOR A YEAR AT LEAST!"
The demon lord's murderous gaze met mine, and I lowered my head... Tiamat is the mother of dragons... and so is my mother!"
Imperator: "You're not even a dragon, little wyvern!"
"I am a Leviathan! And a Devourer! And if I wanted to, you'd be the one in my stomach! You know very well that I'm the real Darkstar and not the other one who's a poorly made copy!"
Imperator: "Darkstar? But he's a skeleton that's been in the dust for millennia...."
Me: "I'M REINCARNED!"
Imperator: HAHAHAHA!!! That's a good one.
The ground shook.
Tiamat: "LAST WARNING!"
I then re-entered the abyss and the demon Lord followed me without making a fuss.
Then I crossed the dome of columns beneath the mountain and arrived at the dungeon with my two daughters.
As the Demon Lord looked on in amazement, I twisted the bars to let out Predator and Diskor.
The Emperor turned red and was about to jump on me.
"Am I screaming in pain or not?"
He turned to see if Tiamat was behind him. Then whispered: "You're an eel! But don't waste any time waiting..."
The dragon walked on his pads to make as little noise as possible and went into a room next to Tiamat, who was snoring on his treasure, on a stone island surrounded by lava and lava waterfalls.
Then I took Excavator and Diskor, who were terrified beyond belief and had almost forgotten their differences, into my arms.
I kissed and caressed them.
"I'll find a solution".
Diskor: "But Mom... she's an Archduchess of Hell. A demon as well as a dragon... and she eats angels..."
Me : "She's right... she's angry and she cries for her children. The angels here are the servants of this world. Me, I'm a dragon angel from earth and from a world that no longer exists, it's not the same thing.
The angels here are like inquisitors who purify the unfaithful, the armed arms of the local gods. I wouldn't mind sharing Tiamat's meal as long as it wasn't you or our humans. I don't give a damn about the ones here, and I care even less about the Talmors.
Somewhere on his pile of gold, Tiamat was smiling from his 5 heads, still in a false sleep. "Darkstar, you just won a point!" Then one of his eyes looked at the spot for the 8th head, THE BEAST!
