Maryse was breathless from being under Mom's wing, always asleep and against my neck when I was asleep too. We snored so much in our hearts that Marise woke up.
She was trembling with fear, Ombrine knew about her and she was gigantic! Like a house and she wanted to go underground out of fear and cried!
I said to Maryse: "Shhht you're going to wake up mommy, sleep a little more, we're going to play with Pouff and visit the wolves."
"Obsidian, Obsiii, I'm afraid she's going to eat me."
"But no, she's nice like everything else. Except for the rabbits and the deer and the boars. Mmm, the salty ones,
Ah, you're getting on my nerves Maryse, and oh ah," I saw big blue eyes staring at me with a dragon smile, (you can see the teeth)
"MMM hhh mhhh my darliiiiing, you don't have to telllll me anyyythiiiing?????" asked mom, then her eyes lowered to Maryse with her back in the air and her head under my wing, trying to hide even more!
"Obsi, I can see her butt! And I've known it for days, in fact I knew it by the smell the first second.....
Who is this???"
"Mom you see the fireball? she was in it and she was hurt in the mud dying. The others all died and I saved her.
Ah, so you're the one who smelled the white biped. The healing products, I remember when I was very little. Yes, go on!"
"Her name is Maryse and she had to leave to see her mother in another reserve in peace. She was running from the bearded bipeds with fire sticks.
Can we go together?"
NAN NAN," said Mom, "she stays hidden with us and you teach her to hunt. It's too far and too dangerous. If the arrow where she came from was broken, and it's very high, we might get broken too. So we fly low for safety.
Tell her I've covered her a few times and she's at home with us. I can be her dragon mom if she wants but she has to go through the kiss! and hug!"
"Maryse! Maryse, turn around, mommy can see you! there's no point in hiding anymore, she's found you for several days and she's been watching you on the sly. besides, we dragons know how to see in the dark. come on, cheer up."
Maryse knelt down and cried in front of the mountain of scales, claws and fangs.
she was like a begging game:
"Pity, "she cried and Mommy came closer and gave her a big lick, then a second one, then a third one, then to me the kiss: and I cried" Mommy, I want a kiss too..." I didn't finish that we were both drooling over
Mommy, then I laughed, "Mommy, I love you." then Maryse gave a kiss on Mommy's nose who rubbed her cheeks against Maryse's belly in order to accept it.
"Mommy says she loves you too and that you are now part of the family. We are happy to welcome you among us and we will do everything we can to help you survive and find your mom. If not, Ombrine will become your dragon mom!"
"Oh thank you, I didn't know that dragons were so nice!"
"We don't know, but it's true that even with her big teeth and claws she has always been gentle and she has never been angry with me, never!"
Maryse: "you are lucky to have a mom like her! I love her already now.
Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Mommy understands what you're saying but for the simple words, we speak dragon and we both understand each other. That's what makes him different from mom. Mom is the queen of the valley and we never leave her side,
Come on, we'll go swimming in the lake and mom will go hunting for our meal, I hope it's wild boar. if it's fallow deer or roe deer the skin is soft and you can do a lot with it. but with wild boar, I put part of it in salt and it dries out. when it's dry, it keeps for a long time and the little pieces are delicious, here, taste."
Maryse :"mmmm it's good."
"If you want we'll go for a picknick at the lake and then we'll go see Pouff my little brother Wolf. Wolves are my second family. They hate bipeds but you are a child for them it should pass. You do not leave me a scale OK?"
We arrived thus to legs, at the rate of Maryse to the lake and she undressed. We took the opportunity to wash her dirty clothes and I made a fire.
"Wow, Obsi, you breathe fire! Mommy said I could spit two more things later but that it was fine. Be careful, it's very, very hot, look how well the wood burns.
Well, we're going to play crocodile!" Maryse tells me.
"Ah I guess I have to catch you"
"Yes but you can't fly
I have a wood that floats for me and you have to prevent me from reaching the edge.
One Two Three!"
And each time with my tail wagging, I quickly caught Maryse.
"Hey, you're cheating with your tail! it's not fair! well, we'll change, you still can't fly or climb but you have to touch me, I'll jump from one rock to another. and if I jump in the water, you've lost!"
OK
Then she said:
"Oh the ugly crocodile that can't catch me! boo-hoo, I'm here, no, I'm here", Maryse jumped into the water. It was much harder but I was having a great time with Maryse.
Then we both looked at each other, she naked in front of me and I naturally naked as a dragon.
Maryse : "Too bad you don't have hair like me to comb! Our bodies are so different."
"Yes, if there was magic!"
Me: "Magic?"
Maryse, "yes, dragons are magic! Didn't you know ????"
"Me?? no???
What is magic?" I asked.
Maryse: "it's difficult, we humans see on TV super powers like transforming for example. They say that you have to concentrate and imagine what you want to become."
Me: "how?"
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
Maryse, "uh, like you're thinking of becoming like me and I'm thinking of becoming like you.
So we'll pretend that I'm the dragon and you're the human!
You try to stand on two legs, you can use your tail and I'll run on all fours.
Maryse got on all fours and tried to imitate me by doing Skeaak, Pfuiiit and Kwiek and grrr.
she looked funny!"
Then I said: "by the power of the ancestral black pebble" (MARYSE LAUGHS)" I will transform myself into Maryse"
. But then Maryse fell silent,
I was taken of spasms and wanted to give then I twisted in all the directions and I started to cry of pains and then a white light and I stood on two legs,
I lost my balance and tried to catch myself with my paws but they were hands. I lost my balance and tried to catch myself with my paws except that they were hands. I had something that was blocking my vision like strings and I realized that it was hair.
No more scales, hair, wings, horns and my tail but I had a face.
"SUUUUPPEERR," I am like Maryse.
Maryse jumped into my arms and helped me walk, then run and jump. We exchanged clothes and went to the carcass to get clothes for me, but on the other site, there were bipeds but bearded!
Shht, I said to Maryse, "they are dangerous!"
"Yes, mom had told me that! We ran back to our cave to see if mommy was there"
but mommy still wasn't coming!
"Mommy!" I shouted, then, as a dragon, I shouted "SSKKEEEEEEAAAAKKKK",
No answer! Then, I heard in the distance: "flapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflap"
like a roar of insects and I saw with horror a black mass motionless in a net.
MOM, sniff, MOM, they took MOM!
I wanted to run towards the insect but there were 4 others around who were protecting the big insect who was holding MOM.
Maryse: "I recognize the flag, it's the same as the one on my plane, from the Russians.
If they catch you too it would be terrible. We can't do anything for your mom. My mom works with powerful people and we can ask her to help you get your mom back."
I wanted to turn into a dragon and attack, but Maryse told me not to do that.
"If you attack, it will explode like my plane and your mom will burn like the bipeds in my plane and the others will attack you with their sticks. Look how strong your mom was! and they still got her. You have to take note of the symbols on the machines, remember KFN2014 KAMOV. Yes, I don't forget. Watch out, they are shooting at us!"
PFFI PFFIt, "Aye"!
Splinters of wood came to plant themselves in my shoulder and it hurts but the trees are broken. we went quickly to hide behind the rocks.
They had to confuse us with bearded ones at this distance. Then the overflowing tears all the two we cried and cried our dear mom. "eeeeeeeeeeeeeee" MOMYYYY!
We made so much noise that the wolves saw us and recognized me only by my smell and the canine that I had in collar.
Pouff (Moon) approached Maryse: "What's going on?" he asked.
Maryse, who was crying so hard, and me too, that we didn't care about the wolves!
"Obsidian? Have you changed into a biped? Is that you?"
"Yes, Pouuuuffff!" and I jump on Pouff who doesn't understand my sorrow!
"MOMYYYYYYY!"
And now I'm snapping! "iiiiinnnnnnn" (child crying very hard)
Pouff also looked at Maryse who was crying as much for me as for Ombrine. I followed the wolves supported by Maryse and the wolves welcomed us into their pack at their cave. and we were both naked. then I changed back into a dragoness and Maryse came to snuggle under my wings just for them and we cried together.
The next day, I had calmed down in my sleep and my eyes were red with tears. the cubs came close to me to comfort me and other wolves were licking me to comfort me. Then Canine came and sat next to me:
"Tell me about it my dear, you are also like my daughter for me we the clan of the white fangs are your family too. you can tell us everything!
And I see that the biped loves you very much and so do we but she will have to pass the test to be a member of the clan if she wants to stay."
Me:"the men in black came and captured mom. Fortunately I didn't smell any blood but a very strong stinging smell. A poison!
She was in a net and carried by a huge insect and 4 other smaller insects. They used fire sticks to keep us away and I was injured by pieces of wood."
Canine: "You were very lucky...
Your mother is still alive. I know that poison. Members of our pack have been put to sleep with an arrow with poison, it's like a wasp that stings and then you can't move and you sleep or sleep awake: you see everything, hear everything but you can't move, you can't even blink.
In my opinion, they took it far away because there are many bearded men who come to the forest and fight with the men in black. The men in black and green have food and don't hunt but the bearded ones kill everything and eat everything and set everything on fire.
They either wanted to keep your mom or keep her safe from the bearded men.
I saw them near the crashed plane. They were searching the dirt. What about her?"
Me:"she was in the crashed plane and she said she was with people in black and the bearded ones shot with a big fire stick and her plane broke in two, she was in the right piece. She had a magic stone with her mommy's voice and her mommy said she would come.
But if there are bearded men near the plane, her mommy will never come!"
Canine: "You are a target for the bearded ones and so is your friend. You can't stay here. They will be all over the valley and you will die, dragon or girl. And I've seen what they do to children of non bearded people! They force them to have children and their mothers, often they kill them so they don't talk. They are cruel, worse than a hungry bear or a crazy mountain lion.
Run away together to a village of black and green bipeds, not bearded ones.
Dress up like Maryse and dress down like her. Do everything she tells you and don't let her go. Forget that you are a dragon. You'll come back when the bearded ones leave, but it can take a long time, too long to risk being killed. We'll go up high in the rocks, it's colder but we have thick fur, and you won't have enough wood to keep you warm and they'll see your fire or smoke and then they'll find you to trade or sell you or worse sell your skin to make shoes or bags for their females.
Rest a little with us, we will watch over you and we will take you back to your cave and we will check that there is no one there."
Then I turned back into a human and managed to hide my horns and tail more or less when I concentrated.
I got dressed and found that I was warmer with my clothes on and that the ground hurt less with shoes on. I still had my strength.
We took my bag and Maryse's bag and I put my saltines in the bag and headed north as Canine said. We kissed one last time and then it was our farewell. We dragons say goodbye if we see each other for a few days or a few years.
We walked and Maryse took her magic stone and put a thread in it with a black plate.
"What is it?" I asked
Maryse: "a GSM, a machine that can connect me with mom or auntie or the person who has her name in it."
"If I put Ombrine inside, I can call Mom?"
"No, Obsidian, your mom has to have one too and it has to be set.
But there is a battery that needs to be charged, it's like heating but with this system that draws its food from the sun, a solar charger.
You see on the screen, BE CAREFUL it is very fragile."
"Ok I am careful!"
"Yes when the bars are big, we can use it and here the bars are small but if they are bigger, we can call mom. But you have to go very high for it to work.
But you can fly! If I teach you how to use it, you can call mom!"
Maryse explained to me how it works and I quickly understood how it works but the touch screen is terrible to use with claws.
I would have to fly as a human!
Well, I'll try as a human with my tail and wings.
Yes, it works and I have my hands to use.
I do some tests and here we go!
FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP!
Ping! 2 bars!
I push on Lucie's picture and "tuuuut tuuuut tuuuut, Hello?"
"MAryse? Is that you Maryse???"
"Lucie? Is this Maryse's mom?"
"Yes! Who is this?"
"I am Obsidian, the dragon! I'm flying for the moment for the signal of Maryse's mobile phone who is downstairs. Help, come and get us! We are in the mountains to the north.
And I am tired!"
Lucie," hold on, we'll find you and Maryse with the cell phone. Is Maryse okay?"
"Yes, she cries all the time and so do I. They took my mom away and now I only have Maryse as a family!"
Lucy: "oh my god! Maryse is with the little one from the dragon that was moved, she said to Guyguy."
"Listen, Obsidian, you're going to come with us, I know where your mom is and I'll do everything I can to help you find her, but you have to keep going north, I've sent a dot on the map on the cell phone so we can join you. Stay well together and look after each other. OK. I kiss you both."
Then Lucy turned on the video mode and saw a human face with horns and wings flapping in the air. And she saw through the webcam Maryse downstairs, very small, waving. You couldn't see any details but she recognized her flea.
tuuut tuuut,
communication broken but Lucie had time to send a text message to Maryse.
Maryse: "So?"
"I got in touch with your mom, she is very happy to know that you are alive and she sent a dot on the map of the mobile phone, where we have to go. then she saw you with the eye of the mobile phone!"
"The WEB CAM"
"WEB CAM, ok !"
"Obsidian, it's a machine, not a living being ok?
And when it's broken, it can't be fixed, it can be repaired or not with machines.
You must live in a country of machines then. Yes, and you'll have to get used to it! The outdoor vacations are over. When you come with me we'll go to school together and to the house, my cave."
"And we can go outside?"
"Yes of course! but you'll make lots of new friends and maybe even a prince charming who will give you kisses? Hahaha
Well, I have no choice but to depend on you for my life now.
Maryse, ehh I owe you my life! Big sister!"

The fatigue won us and I took back my dragon form, more practical in the forest and safer to protect us from the lion of the forest, the Lion of Caucasus
The fatigue won us and I took back my dragon form, more practical in the forest and safer to protect us from the lion of the forest, the Lion of Caucasus [https://img.wattpad.com/d4193b155159db50312de2eb82801879d5b0b26a/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f43305678575065523964577237513d3d2d313036393739343031312e313637656137616430333464313461623837313632353331363833322e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
I was afraid of this monster. Mommy told me to always be careful and to protect my neck. This monster always attacks the neck.
I could feel that we were on its territory and its urine was piercing my nostrils. Maryse didn't feel anything at all, but I did! and I had trouble sleeping. So we put ourselves in a rocky enclave that no one could see and I set fire to the branches of the pile I had just made.
And that's when I saw him! His huge eyes and his big canines with his mouth gaping towards my throat! His long claws ready to lacerate me.
The rage in me and fast blow but not fast enough and he grabbed my throat and I started to choke, my scales were holding but not for very long, I felt the terrible pressure of his canines penetrating slowly but surely my scales that were spreading. I clawed and lacerated the lion who was bleeding but did not let go, like an enraged vice. and he felt that I was going to lose and he accentuated the pressure. CRRRRKKKK the scales were falling off and the pain was mounting. I was choking and Maryse was hitting the lion with flaming branches, burning the lion in the back so that it would turn around and kill her with a bite.
I wanted to launch myself into the air but he blocked with his weight and he was obviously used to prey bigger than him. a real killer!
I felt that he was sure that this was my end. Then I concentrated on my tail, I had a stinger, I never used it but I have to try and SLASH, the stinger is planted in his jaw at the level of the tongue and my terrible venom rushed into his head. Then the pressure disappeared, the muscles paralyzed and he fell dead before he even touched the ground.
I collapsed and my throat hurt, it was terrible and I was bleeding profusely.
Maryse tore a piece of cloth and put it around my throat to stop the blood. Fortunately it was not the canine holes, but the cracked and displaced scales that were bleeding, it was dermal and not carotid.
Maryse massaged my throat for a long time and the pain finally subsided. We ate lion that night.
We rested longer to recover from the emotions and our odyssey resumed. We finally arrived at the end of the valley and in the distance we saw roads and cars.
Civilization! for me a hell? a paradise?
