The Little black dragon girl(TOME 3 of the TIAMAT'S WARS SERIE)

Salt Mines

MAMAAAAAAN MAAAMMAAAAAAANNNNNN, I squeezed her and we both licked and kissed. when we arrived in the salt mines in Switzerland.

Ombrine, I am glad you are alive.

Me too, Mama. You don't know how much I missed you. I trained every day to get stronger and find a way to free you and I had to do horrible things and awaken horrible powers beyond my control to see you again. I just wanted to be a little dragoness who would live with my family in our valley.

I told her my whole story, my human life and my sister. But this made Mom frown:

What's wrong, Mom?

Yes, yes my dear, but I knew the mimics and when she wanted to hide something, I knew it.

Stop it, Mom, I know something is bothering you!

You can't help it, honey but you stink like a biped. You think like them and you live like them and I love you and I don't realize that this nightmare is over. I feel like I'm gonna wake up in this volcano. Something in me is broken. I'm sorry, then followed a deep desolation and moaning. She needs the light of day.

Mama, Mama, I must protect you from yourself.

Ombrine: You see, you sound just like them! GRRRRRRRR!

Mommy? Mommy!

Mom!

Yes, I'm sorry Honey, I get carried away easily but I want to see the sun again, to fly, to hunt, I'm suffocating and I can't stand being locked up.

But if you see a biped outside?

Ombrine: I'll eat him!

Mom! you can't! do you like blood?

Yes, biped blood is the best! And a good biped is a cooked biped.

MOTHER!!!!! You can't, what about my human family?

Ombrine: I'll try not to eat them but I can't help it.

Well, you see these mines, they are gigantic and this is your home.

Here, Mom, there are bipeds here who are nice to me and who feed me and take care of me. And I am free! I go to school and I have lots of friends.

They fought to locate you, to analyze the enemies who locked you up and mistreated you.

Ombrine, I've taken a lot of them. I even pretended to cooperate but when I thought of you, too late they were in my stomach. I'm sorry but they made me like this!

I see, I am unhappy to see you like this. We have to take care of you.

Ombrine, no, I want to be left alone.

Mom, I've spent years building a future for us. You know how strong they are.

Here they are just as strong, even stronger. And I want to fly with you and hunt together. There are other dragons here that are free, but they are evil and they are former human dragon hunters. Their leader, a hunter, broke me down and I couldn't do anything. I was even blind and it was blind bipeds who saved me. They taught me to see in the dark and prevented me from killing myself. I owe them everything.

A kind doctor operated on me to set my bones, I was crippled. I was deaf too and they gave me everything.

Forgive them for being bipeds. They know you're angry and they understand. But if it makes you feel any better, they are the enemies of those who captured you, they are always fighting.

They don't want to use you. They want you to be happy but they have their families and children and you can't kill them, otherwise they will lock you up like the Russians or kill you.
