Tremble, my preys !

This morning I am happy. Free and having a several places for backup.

Now I feel Free

Now I feel the Dragon within and outside

I am DRAGON

I AM THE DRAGON!

And as the Sun Rise I place on top of my lair on a small mountain, more a big hill and I start to sing.

Not using the Speaker who is glued and painted same color of my scales

I use my real voice of dragon.

I chirp , growl and squeak in pure dragon voice. I like to do this

My beast inside is happy. I am me, I am my true self.

My eyes and hud inform me the presence of people at proximity. I don't care.

I detect a van and a jeep. There must be a forest guard equipped with a rifle and 4 other peoples. They are installing cameras to observe me and the van is probably a command center for drone pilot. I know well this type of equipment.

So I fill my lunges with air and boast a big

ROOOOOAAARRR

To inform all creatures I am awake and the preys must start their prayers.

So I Jump in the air and FLAP FLAP FLAP

I fly around my lair to check up any intruders or prey around.

The air smell wood and pine tree and honey. Mmmm

I will try to get some rack of honeycomb. I was glutton of it in the past and now, let's try

SO I detect a big ball on a tree at few meters from ground. I look at is and with my claw, i open the ball and the furious bees try to bite me but my scales are there.

Good appetite. The honey is gliding in my throat and I heard a click, some tourist who was trekking in the zone. There are plenty of wildlife to observe here and there are swamps.

There is a drone following me automatically, I can sense it's telemetry radar trying to follow me at a respectable distance without noticing. How smart are they.

Grrr, don't look at the camera, don't look.

So back to the tourist, it seems a girl alone. Then I turn my head to her direction, around 50 meters and I slurp my cheeks full of honey and I go down, walking on four with my 17 meters of length.

She got afraid and turn back to run,

She was on a rock and she trip on branch , gliding down the hill to arrive in a mud of swamp.

She has half her body taken by the ground and she slowly go down.

Shout

HELLp

HIELF

HELP ME

I don't want to die

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

Now all is left is her head and a hand

HELP

HEEEELPPP

HIIIIIIIIIIII

In a second I am there with my head a few centimeters of hers

NOOOOOOO

With my long neck I was able to reach her and I delicately take her by the neck of her jacket using my teeth.

She was panting and crying and I put her on the side of the swamp on hard ground. Then I take some distance so she can get her spirit back.

T

Thanks ! Mister Dragon! Thank you !

As I was going further, she run after me and grab my tail. I stop and look back

"Thank you M. Dragon, My name is Helen, I will never forget you !"

So I lick her forehead then go away Taking off this time.

The Weather is going cloudy now and wind is starting.

So I go to pine tree forest not far, a few kilometers, and to just annoy the peoples I take a pleasure to cross and cross and recross the Russian federation frontier.

There the trees are bigger and the forest are more dense. It's goo for hiding but not from me.

Only the trees are so dense, I can't walk between them .

So I cut the wood there only to make Chaos and cross the frontier again with the logs on my claws.

I have no a pile of logs and make a pit in the stone near my lair.

I separate the green pine branches from the trunk

Then I place the trunks so they make a support like a tent or to support more exactly a broach.

A giant broach.

I put some leaves in the mix and now : MEAT

I spotted early some fatty boars and I plunge on A big one.

When I hunt with my hud and advanced vision, I try always to catch males and never kill a mother deer with fawns.

Then I see an other one and I want to smoke some charcuterie .

I then comes back to the lay ouside on a rock and I cut open the boar and separate the skin.

The skin will serve later

Then I put cut logs in the stone pit and I put them in flames to make a fire pit.

When the fire is spreading on all the logs, I impale one of the board on a log stick.

The second has the same destiny : impaled.

Organs are thrown in the fire and when finished from carbonizing , I put the pine leaves and branch into the pit. Then The 2 Boar are smoked. I cover them with herbs and leaves so the meat is well impregnated with the smoke. and I let them bake slowly. I have also found a small cave with salt cristals and I go there taking some block of cristals and comes back to the lair.

With the IR sight I found out the scientist have placed hidden camera to look better at me.

I feign ignorance.

But don't be angry on me if a tail or a claw is getting loose for a punishment.

I take then one of the bear who is massive, maybe 400 Kg.

and then I put him in the salt powder to let dry.

I place then a stone on the hole with salt where the boar meat will impregnate with salt. Then it will dry and also I put some branchs of pine tree to parfume it.

The stone will prevent parasites and putrefaction or worms.

I do several holes in my free time to prepare the salt-smoked preparation.

Just before sealing with water and clay I breath a small fire just to kill germs

Of course the position is not accessible by foot. Only by flying or with a long ladder.

The bonfire i prepared is drying the skins and some of previous hunts are ready.

I take some leaves and branches and make a nest after digging the ground a little big. I let a fine hole so moisture or water can escape and the bed stay always dry.

Then i place all the skins above to make a comfortable bed.

The fire pit I digged is still burning and roasting the boar. So I lay on my nest and with my hand or tail, I can turn the meat so it is roasted perfectly.

I brought also some apples and prepare a stone like a plate to mix the apples and the meat.

Ah, if I can stole some vodka or beer to eat or go to the camping with a drink buddy it would be nice!. Maybe they are still there?

Maybe the scientist have something sweet ? Shit I forgot to place a bar in the base station.

Shit this is a so good piece of meat and it would be better if I roast it with coke, the sugar will coat. Yes the honey!

The nest is not far. So its evening but with my night vision it's no problems.

I rush outside the lair and I see the scientist camp 500 m from it, hidden in camouflage and so , useless to me.. hah!

I see the bee hide and I take again a row from the protesting insects.

I rush again with my FLAP FLAP and land at the lair and put the honey on the roasted boar.

Mmmmm , Delischious

I then take the tree stick in one hand and start to crunch all, bones, head, meat and all. Nothing left.

But I take my time.

It gives a magic aura to this place, A cavern, a sleeping dragon in front of a fire and the cloudy sky and smog falling from the mountain like a water cascade.

I think the scientist have a bunch of film to analyse. Keep them busy, I am playing and it's fun.

so I program Monstrodrone to observe and protect me during my sleep. It has invisibility spell on it and has order to shoot only in life threatening situation like in the lab when I pass out when I started to evolve, they of course interrupted it and I was cruelly mutilated this time.

I have always the habit to cast shield on multi-layer. So If I am sniped out, I sense the impact but I am not injured .

Not with the eyes looking at the fire I slowly close my eyes, trying to make my mind empty and release some stress.
