The inhabitants of the town received a letter from the municipality. It stated that Poisse le dragon was self-aware and enjoyed the same rights as any other citizen.

That she was free to move where she wanted and that her rights to privacy had to be respected. On the other hand, it was forbidden to approach or bother her because with 25 meters and a certain tonnage, she could not be responsible for an accident or a crash due to carelessness.

Poisse being known to be gentle and kind and to have a human family, one could not evoke criticisms or threats against her, whether out of fear or dread.

Anyone who violated this rule was liable to fines. The dragon also had its own beliefs and had to be respected.

Racism laws also applied to her and her friends. Mom holding a copy of the letter hugged me."Finally... You are free! "

"Yes, Mom. I'll be careful. By the way, do they know?"

"No, not yet... they're thinking of other things... in Victoria... "

She smiled. "What they can say is bullshit, they don't know anything and they come up with nothing but nonsense..."

I would hold mummy close to me.. "I'm afraid of them, of their reaction.... of their religious"...

"I understand you, my little one, no, I should say my big one..."

Sometimes, mommy would come and sleep with me... To reassure herself that I was really me...

"Did you have a fight with Surish?"

"No, not really, but he can't stomach the fact that I'm not angry with you about the child. At the foot of the bed there was a big warming blanket and at night I slept with my egg against me. It was full of black scales with a gold edge. Mama would listen and you could hear swimming in it.

There was a baby and we both sang lullabies to get him used to our voice and to us. I could feel it getting heavier and heavier and growing faster.The mana and the warmth gave life to the egg and Surish surprised us one evening surrounding the egg.

"What is it?" he said. A lamp??? an egg?

"As a reflex, I put my arms and legs around the egg, as if to protect it, and Mom came between Surish and me.

Surish: "Ah... the work... is it for the egg???? It's an egg of what????"

Rosette: "Surish ... we must have..."

But before she speaks he reared up...

"You've taken the egg of the winged serpent! It's black like him. He will come down on our family and we will all be slaughtered! Then he turned to the bas-relief

"Forgive me for offending you, goddess Kadru!"

And he joined his hands.

Rosette: "But, darling, let me explain."

"We're going to give the egg back to the dragon! I'm going right now "

and he pushed his wife aside and wanted to grab the egg from my wrist but my arms were like clamps.

"HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" I blew angrily, and from the back of my wrist Surish was propelled out of the bed and fell backwards into the room. I had my head in a ball on my egg and he couldn't see the tears. Surish felt my Herculean strength, he had been jostled as he had jostled Mommy, like a straw festoon.

He reached out his hand to me, still on the ground, his butt on the ground, and walked away wondering why. Mom stood up and put her foot on his chest.

"Don't ever do that again, or I'll leave you. "
