Present time, in Uriah, capital palace Uriah castle...

Princess Natalia was in her red dragon form. In the arena, she was lying, defeated, trembling. All around, hundreds of dragons in human form, and human tops.

The crowd was wild, excited.

"Bad princess!"

"Incapable"

" Weakling "

"And this calls itself a dragon?"

"Let me laugh!"

Her violet eyes looked at the ground, waiting for the final decision.

She was dirty and grimy.

Then a growl chilled her blood.

All her strength left her.

The terror, the real terror, was felt.

The dragons fell silent and only a few plaintive cries could be heard. The flies could be heard but only a subtle noise, a distant but sufficiently loud screeching to mark a heavy and infernal presence.

Only the beating of Nathalia's heart could be heard, and then the screeching became dull, heavy and low.

The claws of the Wyvern Lord were the only sound in the palace.

All the staff, even in the other rooms and ends of the palace, had stopped.

The aura was heavy, terrible.

CLACK

CLACK

CLACK

The dragon, giant and with huge horns like those of an auroch, came forward, accompanied by his wife, a powerful and majestic Wyvern.

His concubines followed, all equally powerful and emitting a frightening aura of power and just as deadly as the Dragon Lord, Aldebaran, the beastly king, the Wyvern Lord and ancestor of the Uriah lineage.

Guards to the left and right of the princess prevented her from retreating.

The Wyvern Lord had huge black legs, a red body with black ventral scales surrounded by golden edges.

A blond mane, like blond and golden hair. And white, immaculate wings.

He was beautiful but his beauty hid his brutality, his monstrosity and his total lack of compassion. He was a monster, an arch-demon, devoid of pity.

He hated above all weakness, whether voluntary or provoked.

Then he opened his large eyes with red pupils.

"LET THE CEREMONY BEGIN!"

Natalia opened her eyes in terror. She could not breathe.

She was paralyzed, unable to move.

Crushed by the aura of the lord.

Her heart was exploding in her chest.

Her crests rose from the tension.

She could see nothing around her but black and the ground was red.

The world was only blood and darkness.

Her father Uriah was no longer looking at her.

Natalia looked to her family for support, but no one was looking at her.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Her eyes widened even more when she heard a Draconian cry

"Great Father! Great Father!"

And another red dragoness but with red eyes and golden mane like Aldebaran appeared.

Natalia was trembling, still on her knees, on her stomach.

"Don't go near her it's dangerous!"

She made her charm and showed her powerful aura to the Wyvern lord.

She was emanating power and her red scales were glowing and then, in the next moment, she turned into a beautiful blonde girl with some curls. She smelled of freshly cut flowers and even her dress shone with the same brightness as her scales the moment before.

Thus, she showed her ancestor that she was able to transform herself at will and that she had been able to resist the tests of her grandmother but also that she had everything of a demon like him, which obviously Natalia did not have.

The latter wanted to protest but Sangria had to cut her off or at least the possibility to express herself.

Sangria looked at the dragoness slumped on the ground, then, hid her smile and her cruel eyes. She knew. She was waiting... She was looking forward to it.

Natalia tried to raise her head but no sound came out, only grunts, only noises of breath. Her tongue was paralyzed.

Her eyes expressed terror.

Her memories flashed before her and she remembered her last visit to the dungeon where she was confined until the ceremony. But the confinement was in fact the real test.

Sangria: "Tomorrow is your ceremony! No ?? "

She smiled and scorned Natalia.

Then she exploded her aura and the rock began to melt. You see? I have mom's powers and also granpa's! And what do you have?

I wonder.

The lava threatened the red dragon.

Sangria: "You are a barely hybrid human in a dragon's body. Your only power comes from your family scepter and your ability to wield a sword. But without the scepter you are just an animal.

Your dragon is weak and you can't maintain your human form for more than half a day.

But we've got you cornered. We'll see how you do once you can't transform.

She knew that the ultimate degradation was to be put into animal dragon form, losing all her privileges, rights and being put back into slave form, let alone, beast of burden.

Sangria : "maybe you could stay in the castle. I'll do you a favor. I'll get my brother to ride you. And then you can stay at the royal stables with your own kind. You can even have eggs!

Natalia spat in Sangria's face, and she avoided the projectile."

"You can't even do that!"

The fire then swirled around the room, threatening to burn Princess Natalia alive.

She was also paralyzed. Sangria's magic was very powerful.

"You are a red dragoness... I don't understand your fear of fire!"

Then she grabbed with her human hand, the head of the dragoness, holding it by a horn. Her strength was real, even in human form.

Then she whispered in her ear. "The reason for your weakness and inability ..... is... that... Natalia Uriah.... You are not the daughter, the real daughter of the old bastard (she was referring to King Uriah)

She had a claw lodged in the V of Natalia's jaw and her death gasp almost choked the dragoness.

"You are not the descendant of the Wyvern Lord! ...

But what a pity, if, finally, you were his real granddaughter?", looking at the dragoness over her cruel red eyes and her smile revealing teeth that had nothing human.

At that moment, Natalia realized that the dragoness was not transformed into a human, but into a demon. A real demon. The only thing missing was a black and pointed tail, but that should not be impossible for this monster.

Desperate, cornered and defeated, Natalia sank into despair.

She was persuaded of it now. That all her attempts, efforts were vain to awaken her powers. All those years of trying, all those sacrifices.

She herself was convinced that she was just a fraud, a last class dragoness, just good at being free because of her ability to become human.

But the final blow came like a dagger.

Sangria(muted voice at ear distance) : "Yet the truth is... that you really were her little girl... I've said all I had to say.

Then, turning around, she walked back up the stairs and stopped one last time.

"See you tomorrow, for the ceremony! Natalia!"

Natalia was moaning and trying to free herself but to no avail.

She was filled with despair, anger and a sense of injustice. She wanted to protest and release her powers, but... nothing.

It was as if everything had been sealed on purpose.

She knew that Sangria wanted to take her place and put her lineage in the place of Uriah's.

In the arena, she saw the dragon lord accompanied by Sangria.

It was normally her place to be there. But the ceremony .... It was...a killing by Rape!

Aldebaran placed himself on top of Natalia and the rape began. Brutal, horrible.

Aldebaran: "Receive my powers and my blessing!"

A few moments later, Natalia was nothing but a bag of bloody flesh, inert and suddenly, she was filled with lava and fire and her belly exploded, her flesh charred. Aldebaran smiled:

"She was not an Uriah!"

King and Queen Uriah and the family members looked away and remembered the prophecy that had been spoken by the Oracle on the day of his coronation:

"In the near future, the land and kingdom of Uriah will suffer a great evil. Guardian of the empire, guardian of the realm, of knowledge and tradition, and faithful to our demi-god and protector Aldebaran, King Uriah, Whatever happens, whatever happens, you will have only one daughter and she alone will be blessed with the strength and power of our Lord and God Aldebaran."

King Uriah and his lineage were direct descendants of the Wyvern Lord, the Infernal God of Taurus.

"Once your daughter is old enough to procreate, she will be able to communicate with the spirits of nature and awaken in her the powers that have been transmitted to her by her nature and her filiation with our God Aldebaran.

Thus, our land will no longer suffer from the cold and frost and the curses that afflict our land burned by evil and demons. (Without knowing it, they were talking about radiation and Iberium crystals)"

The people thus revered the princess as a savior, a Saint.

The powers of the earth and magma absorbed the radiation and "corruption" and could make a scorched and barren land workable again.
