This morning, a day like no other, I carved with my claws on the wall of the cave:
MAL (EVIL)
M for Marcus, A for Ancalagon and L for Leucaruth.
I didn't know it, but this signature would later be interpreted as the foundation of Evil. They would call me the Beast or the Devil.....
We checked our bags and took the bare minimum with us
I folded the breastplate in the shape of a box to protect my laptop from knocks and wrapped it in a good layer of fur. Even if it were to fall several hundred metres, it would be protected by the thick layer of fur. My notes with formulas, roll diagrams were also put in the bag and some chestnuts and cooked nuts as snacks
According to my information Luxembourg was Belgium and the tribe of Trevires and I was in the middle of a fanatical conversion!
The village near our lair was called Titelberg, which means mount of the title, or udder or white water. I'm sure that's the last option.
Ancalagon asked me: "Are you sure? It's hard to leave home!"
"Look, sweetheart, I come from 1500 years in the future! There are only dragons left in old books and video games!
The powers of the saints are not to be taken lightly. In the future, there is no longer any demonstration of powers because there are no more magical creatures. Even if their power still existed, there is no longer a target for it to manifest itself! Hence the lack of interest in religion.
But here is another story.
The dwarves are gone, the unicorns and all that.
Then, the men. NEVER EAT HUMANS.
Your hatred, transfer it to the fanatics. Many villagers are still pagans and have not yet joined Christianity. Those who killed your parents are Sauroctones, dragon killers and missionaries purging the cities and countryside of the ancient gods and they systematically destroy magical creatures. Report your hatred only to the saints, not to people. We can't survive without them anymore!"
Caecina Decius Maximus Basilius the Younger took a scroll and unrolled it, bearing the seals of Zeno:
A large number of telluric sites formerly used by the Celts have been occupied and redeveloped since the beginning of the Christianization of our Christian Empire! The buildings that stood on these premises were "loaded" and "locked" by insiders to increase tenfold the effects of telluric and cosmic forces. How do you load such a place? The recipe is quite simple:
■ Concentrate regularly on them believers who come to rely on a religious authority by abandoning their individual power;
■ Make these faithful live in Judeo-Christian guilt, in fear of death, of hell;
(Hell and the Devil are a genius creation to associate the unknown with terror!)
■ Cut them off from the beings of nature by demonizing them;
■ Deprive the place of its feminine energy;
■ Put a well (the well of the Holy Forts) near the junction of the 14 rivers (female telluric energy) in the case of Chartres Cathedral and throw in the first martyred Christians and their emotions of suffering;
■ Practice occult worship in the crypt under the surface dedicated to the official worship, make various sacrifices;
■ Chain the different kingdoms of this place (mineral, elementary, animal, human) and submit the captured dragons
■ Remove the menhir and neutralize the positive line;
■ Master the sacred geometry and divert it by rebuilding part of the cathedral as needed.
The beings of nature are very present around these sacred points in order to ensure their balance. A dragon guards the vortex, the vouivres balance the groundwater streams, the gnomes the energetic currents in the ground etc.
The vouivres are particularly important as representatives of the female energy of the place.
To create the link between Earth (Mother Goddess) and Heaven (Spirit), there are three elements: the vertical segment with cosmic energies, the horizontal segment with telluric energy and the meeting point, the anchor.
And the anchoring is the energy of dragons that brings it and which in man connects to the earth and becomes a source of magic, shamanism and paganism
Confrontations between Christian standard-bearer humans and dragons and other natural beings must be systematic. The latter must be demonized and hunted all over the world. Thus these Christian humans find themselves elevated into holy sauroctones, their prayer or a simple blow with an object killing a dangerous dragon. The rupture is at this moment between men and dragons and beings of nature.
Many European cities have been founded very often near wormholes. Vortex guardian dragons must be hunted first and their vortexes physically occupied by a cathedral or other important religious building to become the spiritual center of the surrounding human community.
He brought his scribe monk and said, "Copy all this and give a copy to all our missionaries - soldiers!"
Capture the maximum of being magical and use it to show the power of our lord and challenge the pagans to do the same. If they do not convert, burn the city and replace the population with Christianized germains. Destroy all traces of paganism and break the menhirs!
Thus an army of soldier-monks, precursors of the future crusaders long after, set out and the proud column of thousands of men advanced north, east and west. Scattering as they move through the towns and villages to be purged.
They each had letters and gold to recruit into the Odoacer legions to maintain order and cohesion in the nascent Germanic Roman Empire.
They also brought with them engineers and state-of-the-art seat machines, based on the latest research, new catapults and balistes. The balistes were mostly used to knock down dragons and catapults to spray wooden ramparts, but the latest model also allowed the stone ramparts to be sprayed, more precise and with a better probability of hitting the same place several times.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
After a last look at the place where we had so good, we each took a sip of the spring of our cave and flew south towards the Vosges mountains.
We flew over the village of Titelberg and there was a wedding. I was curious to see a ceremony.
Fortunately, there was no church or crosses.
Me: "Stay in the back, I'll take a look!"
I flew over a group of wild boars and TCHAK, took 2 large specimens and headed towards the village where everyone was celebrating.
The bride had a wreath of flowers and the husband too and they were surrounded by druids and headed for the village menhir.
There were plenty of offerings to the menhir and the food deposited would then be prepared for a feast for the village.
I flew over the village avoiding that my shadow frightened people and when people saw me, I dropped the 2 boars at the menhir as a wedding gift.
I went back and grabbed 2 deer and also dropped them on the menhir and then took flowers and threw them at the bride and groom.
A druid speaking!
He's not a monster! This dragon has come to bless the bride and groom!
The tension dropped and the Druid signaled to me to land near the Menhir.
Seeing the calls, I went in circles and landed near the Menhir at the place designated by the Druid.
I sat down in a dog posture and lowered my head as a greeting.
"My name is Ozark, the Druidic chief of this village. Dragon, do you understand what I'm saying?"
I nodded and tried to talk but I had squeaks and crackles.
"A A A AR HUS... TO AI DE! IIEE..."
No consonants possible.
Then I took my greenhouse and scratched the ground and wrote AMPHISBEAME
Ozark: "Can you write???????"
I wrote "yes!"
Ozark: "Then you're not animals!"
I said, "No!!!"
Ozark: "We thought all the dragons were dead!"
Me "We are the last ones! We are seeking refuge! The saints will come here! And you will be slaughtered!"
"How do you know that?" Ozark asked.
"In the sixth century, the whole continent will be Christian and you will be erased from history with all your knowledge. I was human and I come from 1500 years in the future and I am looking to go back to my family but I have a family of dragons now and I am torn apart. Don't you know how to turn back time?"
Ozark: "I think even the gods don't know how..."
I started crying then.
"Can I watch the wedding? I miss humans but I'm afraid with this appearance"
The ceremony resumed and my 2 sisters joined me.
"Are you crazy????? You prefer humans to us??????" Leucaruth asked me.
I kissed him. "No, I need tools!"
After the ceremony was over, the Druid and also the village chief wanted to make offerings to me.
"NO! No offerings! I need tools! Copper and utensils like a saucepan, hooks.
I showed a skin scroll with the shape and layout of the basic tools I wanted
racagnaques, wood drill bit, laminating roller and gears for wire drawing and crucible
I offered meat in exchange for the first tools.
then I looked with the druid at the quartz stones and found a quartzite stone
The dwarf blacksmith was in danger but we didn't know it.
Gromon:" There's the old mine but a huge block of granite prevents you from going any further and it's impossible to bypass or remove"
I said, "We're going to blow it up!"
The dwarf brought me cylindrical amphorae that I filled with my saliva of fire and the container was sealed again.
"Make small holes and place them in the granite, and drill a small hole in the cap."

When the dwarf got the drill plan, he told me it was a great invention.
He created one very quickly and the charges were placed very very quickly.
I blew into the cave and the liquid ignited, followed by a violent explosion.
The granite was pulverized and it released all kinds of crystals and precious stones.
The minerals were then available, but the next day, horns announced the arrival of missionaries.
An emissary entered the village and said:
According to the order of the new Emperor Odoacer, this village must be Christianized. All pagan worship will now be prohibited and all magical creatures, thinking or not, must be captured and delivered to us for baptism.
A bishop, Saint Mamert, will come here with his imperial escort.
The man, saw 2 dragons landing in the village with prey.
"SACRILEGE! Are you allied with the dragons?"
Druid Ozark says, "No, no, they're peaceful and..."
"Blasphemy! Capture them!"
Ozark: "What do you want us to do? We'll all die if we attack them. A dragon, we won't make it! We don't have any soldiers and only 4 guards! But they are 3 and gigantic!"
The shout fled, escorted by two heavily armed soldiers.
Then Ozark came to me.
"They're going to slaughter us! And they have a saint with them! Run away and take our children away out of pity!"
But the soldiers were already there, they had lied and had already surrounded the village.
A siege catapult fired balls at the palisade, which exploded into a thousand pieces and then the soldiers set off.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM, made the drums and CRASH made the balls.

On his horse, the well-known and inflexibly known bishop soldier Saint Mamert spoke in front of the village
"Three dragons are hiding here! If you don't deliver them to us, we will burn the city to the ground and make them martyrs after forced baptism!"
He placed an hourglass on a small stool and looked at the terrorized people. Then, seeing that people were not reacting, he took a hunting horn set with gilding and Christian crosses and blew into it.
On my side I saw my sisters fall to the ground
Acanlagon: "It's like with Dad, I don't have any more strength! I can't take off!"
Leucaruth: "I too have no strength left!"
"I can't feel anything!"
Leucaruth: "I'm scared! We're going to die! Why did we come here?"
I said, "No one's going to die!"
I thought about Eddy's explanation and tried the shield spell.
Then, a blue ball with a honeycomb surface coming out of my mouth and I spit it out on Ancalagon and another on Leucaruth
And a third for me.
Are you feeling better?
Ancalagon: "Yes! I feel my strength coming back!"
Then I threw a rock at her and it bounced back!
Perfect! Perfect! It works! It works!
So I flew over the troops. There must have been at least a hundred soldiers and a catapult but also two balistes.
Mamert blew and it made me laugh.
Then he waved crosses and prayers and all the men prayed to make me fall
Then I landed right in front of the bishop!
And I made him my sign of the cross!
"Blasphemy! An evil creature who imitates Christ"
He threw a vial of holy water at me and while he was getting excited I wrote on the floor:
"I AM A CHRISTIAN!"
Mamert: "How is that possible????"
"I AM AN AMPHISBEAME BUT ALSO A MARCUS!"
Mamert: "But you were killed last year!"
"Please, leave us alone, we've never eaten humans! They're going to convert, let them."
But with a gesture of the finger, the 2 balists fired and saw me hit! But my shield resisted!
I took off and the soldiers stormed the village but I came back in a dive and spat fire on the devices that melted like snow in the sun
Then I came back and the men fled and I blew one last time. Later in the story it is said that it was burned by men or that its body was burned but no mention of a dragon was made.
The inhabitants dispersed in the forests and went to join other cities while everything calmed down.
So I could see the power of the saints.
The blacksmith dwarf was passed out, almost dying because of prayers and horn blows.
I took him in my paws and held him against me and he regained consciousness. Then he swore! hitting me and then, realizing the situation, he straightened up, put his helmet back on and said to me: "Dragon, you saved my life but I won't be long now. My whole family was killed and I will end up on a pyre or burned by their magic water"!
I looked at my two sisters and said, "Do you want to come with us? We're going to the mountains to the south!"
Ozark told me "our community of druids are establishing an underground city in Chassepierre but it is to the north. This is where our paths separate. Thank you for saving the city and its inhabitants. May the Gallic gods protect you!"
A saddle was put on me and I carried Gromon on my back, who like his name was a grumbling character! Certainly he saw in cycle the massacre of his own people. Hence his nickname.
